Curiosities

A little gallery of treasures… works of art, collected pieces from travels…. mysterious curious that must be more than they seem. The trinkets we treasure are the smallest reminders of epic stories.


*PosESioN* — Women Hunt #4 pose

Welina mai kākou! Hau’oli Pō’akahi!

Something a little different and a lot fun, I hope! Kerryth at Spyralle is offering the Victorian Museum Cabinet as a special at the Vintage Fair, open now!


Aeon’s pose is Kimono F7 from Happy Dispatch Animation

The Cabinet is build in beautiful mahogany, and features a “removable” glass shelf. Detailing is exquisite, from the cabinet hinges to the shelf cleats! This is perfect for those little treasures that we accumulate and don’t know what to do with. How many of my little treasures do you recognise? The beautiful Raven mask on the upper shelf centre was Kerryth’s offering for the 2020 Fantasy Faire, and is still on sale at the Spyralle main store at Mauna Waipio. All proceeds for the mask go to the American Cancer Society’s fight to cure cancer! It’s a wonderful piece, and can be worn in a closed position as a mask or displayed opened (as you see here).


TuTy’s Mocap Animations — Blowup! 25 pose

The case represents a tilt-open case, where the front glass panel would swing upward. The case itself is non-operable, but you can carefully remove the glass shelf to display taller artifacts. This requires just a little bit of editing/modding experience, and Kerryth explains how in a nc included with the piece.

Stop by The Vintage Fair and take a look. It’s an amazing piece at 2 LI — I really am impressed with the glass in the case, it has just the right colour and reflectivity. I think I may have left fingerprints!

A hui hou kākou!

A modified version of the [Euphoria] natural high windlight was used.

Gaia

Yesterday in Eden, we elected our Summer Queen for the year.  I’ve always favored fantasy outfits for these events, I’ve even been elected Winter Queen one year dressed as a frost fae, which was a fantastic honor.  This year, for summer, I chose to wear this fabulously pretty satyr outfit by Melon Bunny, which I saw someone wearing on a fantasy RP sim and just had to have immediately.  That was, until I discovered the cost and had to save up 🙂

The full outfit is made up of three parts, each sold separately: the legs (which come with the Bento ears and tail), the antlers, and a top (or a chest fluff for the guys.  Yes, this is available in both male and female styles, and also available for Kemono, so be careful to select the right thing if you purchase).  I’m not wearing the top, but it matches the moss colors and the flowers.

Female sizes for the legs include Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, TMP, Physique, Hourglass, LuLu, and a one-size-fits all for classic avatars.

There is a HUD for the legs, ears, and tail offering thirteen choices of base coloring, from the “Fallow Summer” scheme I’m showing you here, to “Snow”, “Pepper”, “White Tail”, “Dusky Rose”, and more.  For each color scheme, you can select a level of moss, from “None” to “Forest” (shown), “Golden”, “Withered” and more.

Another HUD for the antlers allows you to select from the same moss levels as the legs HUD, and to show or hide the vines entwined in the points.  The antlers are separates, left and right, and are modify if you need to resize or reposition them.

And finally, there is a HUD to control the visibility and flower selections.  Again, you can hide the flowers, or select from “Caribbean”, “Red”, “Black”, “Summer Cluster” (shown), and fifteen more.

This is a very pretty outfit, with fantastic furred leg realism (there are at least five layers of texture providing a very furred look) and wearing it, you are sure to turn heads.   Like me, you may have to save up for it, but it’s surely worth it if being a faun appeals to you.  The costs are L$799 for the legs, L$450 for the antlers, and L$450 for the top.  The outfit is only available in-world.


Esmeralda

While the world may sometimes look dark, take a moment and listen — the birds sing, the flowers bloom. The breeze blows in the trees. The Planet, in all Her majesty, dances on. How can we not pause to hear the piper?


Aeon’s pose is 99 Luftballoons 5 (rev) from {NanTra}

Welina mai kākou!

We’re just over half-way through June, and the June edition of We Love Role Play is going strong! Bee and Solas at Silvan Moon Designs bring you Esmeralda. It has a wonderful care-free feel to it. While it’s a longer mesh, it’s flared up about calf-length, so it doesn’t pose the kind of problems that you often see in movement for a longer mesh dress. Esmeralda comes in six lovely colours, and is sized for Maitreya only.

The outfit features separate skirt and top, so you can mix-and-match. The beautiful boots are included, and totally complement the dress. I’m already thinking about other outfits that I can pair these with. I’ve added the beautiful bangles from @rOrO and a necklace and earrings from EarthStones. It must have been fate, for the Esmeralda hair and scarf from Fantavatar & Moonstruck [Oblivion] just matches perfectly, completing the look.


Aeon’s pose is Summer Breeze 5 (rev) from Stardust

I… feel I’ve got to say one more bit here, though, because I love the jewelry from Earthstones and rOrO, but… we really should stop using the term ‘gypsy’. Yes, I know, there’s a lot of debate about this — many ethnic Roma say “please don’t use the word, it’s hurtful”, and others say that they don’t care. There’s a nice discussion of the term and its history and usage here. I think the long and the short of it to me is, why say it if it makes people feel bad? Political correctness isn’t a bad thing, it’s simply a different phrase that means “polite”.

So, you know, be kind. Let the word go.


Aeon’s pose is Summer Breeze 3 (rev) from Stardust

Let’s close on a happy — we’re on location outside of Silvan Moon Designs. My favourite sim designer, Gidgy, decorated the sim beyond the store for Bee and Solace. Queensgarden lives on, in our hearts and all over the Grid!

I wish you all a wonderfully happy weekend. May you have peace and serenity, and stay healthy. Aloha kākou!

A hui hou kākou!

When I’m stuck for something to photograph, I’m sure to go and look at the group gifts at Scandalize.  There are so many of them that I’m sure I’ll find something I haven’t got or haven’t photographed for you 🙂

Scandalize is L$100 to join, but this may be the best L$100 you ever spend in SL!

This pants and top set come with separate pants, and four top options.  The top comes in two lengths, short (shown) and long, and both variations have a no-sleeve (shown) and a sleeve version.

All pieces are sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Physique, and Hourglass.  There is no less that five (!) coloring HUDs included, each one for specific parts of the outfit.  You can color the bottoms, ties, waist, neckline, and the main colors for the top and pants to your liking from a set of… wait, if you think I’m going to attach five HUDs and count the buttons…  Let’s just say it’s a lot of colors!


Dolce

This lingerie is a dollarbie, open to anyone.  It’s available both in-world and on marketplace.

The lingerie is sized for Lara, Alice, Hourglass, Physique, StarBody, Altamura, Curvy, eBody Curvy, Freya, and Isis.  It comes with a three color HUD, the other two colors being red and black.


Anna

Here’s a lovely lace lingerie gift for members of Fabfree from Ewa Boutique.

The bra and panties are one piece, and fit Lara, Freya, Alice, Legacy Classic, and Hourglass.  The set comes with a ten color HUD so you can select just the color you like!


Delh

Here’s another group gift from Elegance Boutique.

This top and pantie set is sized for Lara, Freya, Isis, Venus, Hourglass, and Physique.  The top and panties are separates, and come with a six color HUD that allows you to select from the colors for the top and panties individually.


Sara

I showed you a group gift from Elegance Boutique yesterday (what little there was of it lol) but I forgot to tell you that there are a number of past group gifts available after you join their FREE group.  This one is a little more modest.

This is a two piece, with the top and high skirt as separate items.  Both are sized for Lara, Hourglass, and Physique.  There are a number of different color combinations in the pack, all available on different objects.  The skirt requires some alpha.  Again, a very nice gift from Elegance.


Karma

 

Oh my!  This body harness and panties set is a group gift from Elegance Boutique.  Their group is FREE to join.

The outfit is all one piece and is sized for Lara, Freya, Venus, Isis, Hourglass, and Physique.  It has a nine color HUD for both the harness and panties, with a hide panties option, which makes up for it not being separates.  There are also five colors of metals to choose from.


Sweet E for Stay at Home, part 2

I showed you a Stay At Home gift from Sweet E’s the other day, but there are actually two gifts for the Stay At Home Club available at the store.  This is the other one 🙂

The skirt, bra, and lifted sweater are separates, and are only sized for Lara.  The skirt isn’t a mini, it’s a micro mini lol.  You’ll need undies 🙂
