Fantasy Faire 2021: A taste of the far East

A moment of serenity, amidst the spring cherry blossoms

Aloha! Greetings from the Fairegrounds!

Unlike most of my shots during the Faire, this was not shot on the lovely sims that the Fantasy Faire creators have brought to life, but I want you to focus on the outfit, not on my surroundings!

I have a beautiful kimono set from Sakka’s Studio to show you today. Kosode is a wonderful set, with kimono, nagoya obi, hair bow. I’ve added the Obuto Zori footwear to go with it. It’s such a wonderful combo.


Aeon’s pose is Kimono-F4 from Happy Dispatch Animation

Sakka’s Studio has a wide array of Japanese period clothing, all very well-textured and well-rigged. There are a multitude of beautiful patterns and colours to choose from, or save yourself from impossible choices and get the fatpack. It is Fantasy Faire, after all, and part of all sales go to support Relay for Life’s fight against cancer. The more you spend, the more you help out!

Oh, and one more lovely little thing — a beautiful little wah, a Red Panda from Manticore. It’s the most adorable little thing, and the perfect companion to follow along at your heels!

I hope you are enjoying the Faire! This is my favourite part of the SL year!

Aloha kākou! A hui hou!

Surrounded by the light

With the closing of the year comes a light in the darkness, the hope of a new start, a better world.

Aloha kākou! Perhaps we’re still a month off from the Solstice, from Christmas, from Hanukkah, from the Season of Light… but it’s been a difficult year, and the light and hope that that season brings can’t come too early for me.

Bee and Solace from Silvan Moon Designs bring us the lovely Prima Donna gown, a lovely exclusive at Enchanted this month.


Aeon’s pose is Lolita 2 from ZIPI Poses

Prima Donna comes in seven beautiful colours. I fell in love with several of them… but the holiday feeling hit me so strongly that I just had to share Emerald with you. The Holly crown from .AiShA. and the Pointsettia ‘n Bells necklace and earrings from EarthStones just matched too perfectly to miss!

And lastly… please stop by and visit the lovely Savor Serenity sim. My dear friend Gidgy is one of the most wonderful sim builders I know. Please stop by and enjoy the beauty there!

My lovely friends, don’t miss a single opportunity to find joy, to encourage joy. Aloha nō!

Aloha kākou!  Hello, my friends!  The Snow Queen awaits you at the latest round of Enchantment, open now until December 2.  I wanted to share the beautiful gown from Silvan Moon Designs, Crystallis.

I usually shy away from pinks and corals — they often clash with my ginger — but I saw Bee’s colours in the Amaryllis style for Crystallis and I just fell in love.  I feel like I’m dressed in the sunset.

  • <K&S> — Loveliness #4 pose

I don’t get enough opportunity to wear the Springleaf necklace from Empyrean Forge — it’s a large piece, and definitely requires a strapless gown — or at least a broad expanse of chest — so that it’s not crowded.  It works perfectly with the Crystallis gown.

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!  If you are able, recharge, rejuvenate, refill with peace and strength for the week ahead.  If you are not able, find some time to breathe and take in a little peace…  and that rejuvenation time will come.

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

The Autumn Queen

Aeon LotD, Moments

By many reckonings autumn has not yet begun, but for many of us the feeling of change is in the air, and we start looking forward to the turn of summer to fall.  The Sisters of Eden appointed our new queen this past weekend, and our newly-crowned Sister was gracious enough to let me take an hour of her time for photographs.

Ladies and gentlemen, with your permission, let me present to you the Autumn Queen, her royal floofiness, Kie Dagger!

Queen Kie is wearing the Fall edition of the Demeter Gown from Evie’s Closet.  Demeter is rigged mesh in four sizes with add-on flexis to create the gown.  While rigged mesh is a bit old-school these days, flexis are the best way to create a gown that’s good for something other than standing still for a photograph in.  Evie certainly has created some amazing gowns, and this look is absolutely gorgeous.

Queen Kie is the perfect neko.  Her tail and ears from Fluffy Bushy appear to be no longer available, but the whole ensemble (skin, gown, tail & ears and hair) work beautifully to create her elegant look.

There are stressful times as a photographer and there are easy times.  I was very glad that Luane of Luane’s World Poses had already converted her sim to autumn.  Luane’s World is a beautifully decorated group of sims, and it’s the perfect backdrop to many of my photo shoots.

Believe it or not, autumn is one of my favourite times of the year.  There is a special beauty — beyond the brightly coloured leaves, beyond the pumpkin spice everything.    Our lovely Queen embodies that peace and quiet grace.   I wish you all a wonderful Autumn!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

At the mercy of the night

The cool clammy taste of the foggy night, the pool of hazy golden light about the gas lamp at the street corner.  Every nerve is alive, every sound sends a little shiver up your back.  Best not go out alone….

Silvan Moon Designs offers their latest exclusive for We Love Role Play, the lovely Mercy Maxwell.

The remarkable chapeau is just perfect for this outfit, and can be pretty easily adjusted for a reasonable choice of mesh hair.

Bee and Solas have a remarkable partnership, and keep producing the most wonderful role-play pieces.  Mercy Maxwell is right at home on a Victorian city street or at a steampunk event.  It’s available at We Love Role Play through the month of April.  Stop by and pick up a demo!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Evergreen

I really enjoy wandering about a snowy outdoor market, and the Okinawa Winter Festival 2018 is off to a beautiful start!  I got to wander around the market, and fell in love with the beautiful Rachel coat from EXiA!

Rachel comes in five lovely colours and each has red and white options for the bow,  holly (or not), and solid or plaid at the coat bottom.  Rachel feels so very fun and warm and festive — it’s the perfect thing to wander about in the falling snow!

Mahalo!  A hui hou kakou!

A Murder of Crows

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Moments, Reviews

November is drawing to a close, but We Love Role Play yet has nearly a week left.  Silvan Moon Designs offers A Murder of Crows this month, a beautiful bustled gown that might be just as at home in Victorian England or in a frontier town in the American Wild West.

The remarkable hat is included in A Murder of Crows.  I don’t know that I’d dance in it, but it’s perfect finery for the era.

Wow what a bustle to this gown.  Baby got back?

I really love this outfit, I think it might well serve as a fantastic base for a great steampunk outfit.  I’ll have to get back to you on that one!

Run over to We Love Role Play before time runs out!  Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!

Aloha, my friends!  A couple of treasures to share and a couple of events to mention on this lovely Friday!  First, let me share the Lady Tiana gown from Silvan Moon Designs, exclusive for Enchantment!  Enchantment takes you to the New Orleans bayou celebrating The Princess and the Frog, and Solas and Bee have created the perfect gown in commemoration!

I really loved how the hairpin flower from Geist and the Leah jewelry from*AvaWay* carry the organic floral motif of the gown.

These events won’t last forever!  Both the Okinawa Summer Festival 2018 and Enchantment last through the end of August!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Happy Summer Days!

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews

A few little happies to share with you this beautiful Friday!  First up, Happy Summer Days is a gorgeous little dress from Miss Jones.  It’s currently featured on the Pleaseblossom path of the Midsummer Night’s Dream 9 Hunt!

OMG, I think it landed on my head!  The Aloha headpiece is a bright and cheery headpiece from Astralia that a friend found and just had to get for me.  It features a lovely HUD with a few colour choices for flowers and the bird.  

Happy Summer Days comes with an amazing HUD.  I tried to count, and I think that there are 37 solid colours you can choose from, and another 37 different patterned textures.  I might be off one in each column, so figure somewhere between 72 and 76  colour/pattern choices for you!  Your biggest problem will be choosing your favourite!

Just when you think that you’ve come to the end of the path…. the world opens up in front of you.

Have a wonderful Friday, a wonderful weekend my friends!  Stay cool out in the summer heat, or stay warm in the winter chill, and know that you are special and bright.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

Blooming

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Have you been to Midsummer Enchantment yet?  Kerryth from Spyralle has a magical headpiece and collar just waiting to frame your beautiful face!

The collar has a lovely vine closure detail in the front which serves as a beautiful necklace/choker for you.  The texture HUD changes both items together, although if you wanted different colours you could wear and set them separately.

I don’t normally wear reds and pinks, they don’t tend to work well with my colouring… but this Windflower shade just worked too well with Spyralle‘s earlier Sylvia release, and I couldn’t resist dancing.

The Sun Flower / Wind Flower / Moon Flower headpieces are a lovely accent to a beautiful gown or the perfect accompaniment for your garden fae.  Stop by Midsummer Enchantment before this bloom disappears!  The faire is full of other wonderful goodies, many with a darke/gothic flavour…. and many treasures just awaiting your discovery.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!
