Guardians of the Wood

Happy Winter, everyone!    I love this time of year — cold and snow are SO much easier to deal with in SL than they are in RL!  But even in RL, there is so much magic in the snow and in the seasonal lights.  It’s a beautiful time!

I came across this wonderful set of Winter Guardians from Spyralle at the Winter’s Hollow event, and they are just the perfect happy touch to your parcel, your sim, your little corner of Winter.  There are four of them, and they’re resizeable to fit your space.  Each is from one to two LI depending on the size.

The Winter Guardians are soooo much fun!  They’re a wonderful touch to your little piece of winter.  You can find the Guardians at Winter’s Hollow, going on now!

Twenty seconds into the future

Weekends are for shopping, spending some time on a lazy Sunday morning, wandering about events with good friends and family, enjoying a beautiful day… sometimes it’s the old familiar places, sometimes it’s new new locales with dazzling scenery and decoration.  Later on I’ll look over a few new treasures, and see how they speak to me, what story they tell me when I find a place to take some new pics to share.

We wandered about the NeoJapan event last weekend, and I got the chance to stop by Insilico for a few pics.  Tomoe is a beautiful little kimono from EXiA, complete with gloves and armbands, and it definitely feels to be appropriate for NeoJapan — that exciting cross between old-world culture and a view of a cyberpunk future, perhaps.

EXiA also has boots and a brace of kunai to strap to your thigh available for separate purchase.  The high boots are lovely, high-heeled with straps and an open toe.  Open-toe high boots are not exactly my style, but I found something that suited me even better.  Jazabelle Boutique has a lovely new outfit called Crimson Dragon, and includes black boots with a red dragon motif that is just the purrrrrrfect coomplement for Tomoe’s  kimono.

You know, there was an old television programme that I’ve caught on the youtubes… you may have heard of Max Headroom?  There was this wonderful little tagline that I recall printed on the bottom of the screen like a closed-caption statement at the beginning of each episode, setting the stage: “Twenty seconds into the future.”  That stuck with me, even though I never watched more than a couple episodes of the programme.

Twenty seconds into the future.  Near enough to be here… just distant enough to not be right now.

Exia’s Tomoe is perfect for that moment — twenty seconds into the future.

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!
