Instead of going to a Santa’s little helper party in the usual, I went as a reindeer. After all, they help by pulling the sleigh 🙂
The hair, dress, antlers, nose, collar, and arm warmers are ShuShu’s PoE 9 Hunt gift. You only have a couple of days left for PoE which finishes at the end of the month. So hurry, hurry!
One of the items in the PoE9 Hunt was this fab little skating outfit! Ice skates? Check 🙂
It’s only in rigged mesh, but the medium works will on Lara for me. The tights come on a tattoo layer and there is an Omega applier included in the package.
Also including is the scarf/necklace, which makes the outfit something special.
Outfit: Skate Tunic/Skirt, tights, necklace/scarf by Ever An’ Angel
Last weekend at Eden, we had our Winter Queen event where Sabine, the club owner, with some input from staff, selects who is to be winter queen for the season. I’ve had the honour to be chosen back in 2014, and it’s a bit of a thrill 🙂
Anyway, I was sort of running the show as this year we had a runway for the girls to parade on if they wanted to be a candidate in the contest. As I built the runway, it fell to me to organize the girls who wanted to walk. Nandi, our club manager, said I should set my tag to “Eden’s Heidi Klum” lol. So while I got a nice outfit, I wasn’t even under consideration for the title.
Here’s what I wore. As has been the norm in the last couple of weeks, it’s from the PoE9 Hunt 🙂
The basic dress is standard size fitmesh, and there are body specific fitmesh for Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Maitreya. The flexi skirt is really well done, with a great shape that I should investigate 🙂 and it’s really well textured too!
I wore my fantasy frost skin, and at the last minute came across a nice white tattoo, also from PoE9.
These were the pics for our holiday cards this year. It’s interesting to see how we both took pics of the same pose simultaneously and came up with very different results!

Aeon says: It’s not a surprise to me that so many cultures have set their calendars so that the turning of the year comes during the long dark. It seems a moment of change, when things might seem to weigh down on us. As an astronomer, I usually celebrate the dark: it’s during these months that the stars shine most brightly.
It has been a tumultuous year for many of us… and some of us are uncertain at what lies ahead. But no matter what you celebrate or how you celebrate. Join with me in taking a some time to sit back with the ones that we are close to, no matter how much distance on this globe separates us. Make amends with those we have wandered away from.
Sing to one another, laugh with one another, love one another.
This moment of peace, this moment of friendship, of love will carry us through the next year.

Blue says: Christmas is always a special time of year for me. For my family, it’s always been the day that we all try and get together. We’ve even had days where half of us have been living overseas and the other half have traveled so we could celebrate together. When we can’t be together, we’re still thinking of each other, and for me, the season is all about love and peace and reflection on things accomplished over the past year.
In SL, looking back at some of the posts and the memories they invoke, reminding myself of the times Aeon and I have spent together building, playing, dancing, just the two of us, or with our wonderful group of friends, makes me very happy indeed.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the posts we’ve done for you throughout the year. And from my heart, a very merry Christmas to you and your families, and may the New Year bring you love and happiness and the fulfillment of all your dreams!
Two lovely little winter treats for you today — a beautiful little snowflakes jumper and some amazing jewelry from Earthstones! The jumper is an older one group gift from Calamitous Intent, but is a favourite for the cold winter months.
Calamitous Intent — December Hooded Cardigan (group gift from a year or two ago! eep!)
I’ll readily admit, I love sparkle. Not cheezy bling, but beautiful sparkling lights. So when I saw the beautiful Twinkling Lights jewelry at Earthstones, I completely fell in love. There is a necklace, earrings, bracelet and anklet, sold separately so you can choose what you love. I love them all!
As you might expect, Twinkling Lights is a little script-heavy, but it’s not bad — just be warned that if you are on a heavy-traffic sim (a busy club?) and they monitor scripts, you might be up high on the board 🙂 BUT the sparkle is beautiful, and I’ve been wearing it mostly non-stop since I got it!
Wherever you are this holiday season, however you celebrate this time of year, I wish you happiness and light. Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!
Back on the PoE gifts again, this is a wonderful little fitmesh top and cardigan from Ink Blots.
There are standard rigged sizes in the pack along with specific fitmesh for Slink, Belleza, and Maitreya. I added some mesh jeans and boots to complete the look.
What’s not in the box is this awesome little present from Furry Fashion available right now under their tree in the main store. Actually, there are three different ones, all the same mesh but for Christmas (shown), Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa!
The dresses are not just for furries, with standard mesh sizes and specific fitmesh for Slink Hourglass and Physique, Tonic Fine and Curvy, Maitrya, Belleza Venus, Freya and Isis, and TMP! There are three gifts there for males too, so grab the man in your life and drag him along. Run and get yours now!
Thanks to my wonderful friend Katkind for pointing these out to me!
You know that bit where you find a creator that gets you? Someone who understands your style? I’ll admit I’m lucky to be sponsored by a number of such wonderful artists here on the blog, but let me squee a little bit about Eclectic Stars.
8-bit Christmas is a lovely version of Eclectic Stars‘ Shifty dress. I do so love a sweaterdress and tights in the cold months! I’m even more amused because the 8-bit-style images both evoke the `old’ days of computer graphics… but also fit in just fine with sweater graphics limitations!
I hope wherever you are that your season is filled with bright lights and starry skies… and friends and family surrounding you.
And… as a friend pointed out to me… some of the rest of us need to always know — ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻokahi wale nō, ʻaʻole ʻoe e poina ʻia. You are not alone, you are not forgotten.
Just to change pace from all the PoE gifts I’ve been posting lately, here’s a group gift from Shoenique (I think it was a gift for SLF&O).
The gown is in standard size fitmesh, with specific sizes for Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. There are five flexi skirts making the outfit a little high in complexity, but not too bad.
Although this is fitmesh for Lara, there are a couple of breakthrough issues that could easily be fixed with a shape tweak.
An amusing name of an outfit near Christmas, this jeans, boots, and sweater set was on Punk Justus’s MM board recently.
The jeans and boots are all one piece. Both the sweater and jeans/boots come in fitmesh for classic avatars, and specific fitmesh for Maitreya, Belleza, and Slink Physique and Hourglass.
Although this is specific fitmesh for Lara, there is a tiny little bit of breakthrough at the back of the right shoulder that you can’t eliminate with the alphas in the HUD. It’s not too noticeable though. The texture detailing on the top of the jeans and the sweater is excellent 🙂
