Fantasy Faire 2021: The Dark Valkyrie

She fights against the Unweaver with a passion that only the fallen can wield.

Time is running short on Fantasy Faire 2021, but there are still so many things to find, so many sights to see!

I get to show you a few treasures here that I picked up at the Faire. One, I confess, is not available if you don’t already have it: the dark skin I’m wearing is the Hel Draugr skin from Fallen Gods. It’s a special edition, available only for Alia Baroque’s Jail-and-Bail fundraiser last Friday evening.

It made the perfect match to the sleek Valkyrie Spirit bodysuit from *Lurve*. Lurve’s Faire store in Khol Dracys has a number of lovelies for you, and Valkyrie Spirit is definitely my favourite. It includes the unrigged helm and bracers, and both of these have just wonderful materials. The specular reflection is just PERFECT — I look like I’m wearing real steel on my forearms and head.

I added a few other bits that are a little harder to see. GERMINAL has some lovely tattoos at the Faire, and you might be able to catch a glimpse of the Lamia foot tattoo on my calves. It’s a lovely black swirly bit, and seemed to fit well on my Valkyrie — a nice subtle bit against the darker limbs of Alia’s draugr skin. I also included the Corrupted eyes from A.D.D. Andel. I have a feeling I’ll be adding these eyes to some of my other exotic skin outfits!

My wings are from Bare Rose, who does not have a booth at the faire, but I wanted to point these out because they’re my favourite bento angel/feathered wings. I have them in white, but they’re modify, so you can go in and adjust colour and specularity. So making some steel-grey metallic wings is easy. I’ve been able to match them to a whole bunch of different outfits.


Aeon’s pose is Valkyrie 5 from Poseidon Poses (Fair Store in Valhalla)

One last quick word.  These marvelous poses are all from Poseidon Poses — appropriately enough, the Valkyrie series.  They’re amazing and perfect.  Poseidon Poses is my go-to for action poses!  You should totally stop by their Faire store in Valhalla.

There’s still a few more things to come from the Faire. Please stop by, spend an hour or two or ten… and help support Relay for Life’s fight against Cancer.
We can hold back the Unweaver!

Aloha! A hui hou kākou!

Fantasy Faire 2021: Fallen Angel

Did it hurt when she fell? You did not just ask that. She has all kinds of ways to make you hurt.


Aeon’s pose is Fairy 3 from AZKPose (Fair Store in Yin Yang)

For your Friday Faire pleasures, a devilishly amazing outfit put together from a host of Faire merchants! We’re going to start with Aii, who have put together the tantalising Bellatrix bodysuit outfit here. The outfit comes in Legacy and Maitreya fitmesh, and features separate pieces for legs, arms, shoes, a neckpiece, pauldrons, and the bodysuit itself. If you want to wear it all together (as I am here), there’s a full-up combination that makes getting dressed even easier. There’s a fabulous HUD included that allows you to customise all KINDS of colours here!

Aii & Ego together bring you the wings and tail sets here. The Nefarious wings are bento animated, and come in five sizes that are sure to fit your look. The Avarice tail is animated, and comes with an optional Soul flame that sits right at the tip of the tail. There’s also a Soul Flame that you hold in your hand… sometimes. I’m not going to spoil this one by telling you about it, you MUST go try it out, it’s too cute for words.

I’ve matched these up with the Black Fire skin from Fallen Gods It seemed the perfect match to go with Bellatrix. You can see that I’ve added the Flame Web specular tattoo from Stargazer Creations. I’m a big fan of the shinies, and when you have advanced lighting turned on, these just create a beautiful bit of fire for you.


Aeon’s pose is Fairy 3 from AZKPose (Fair Store in Yin Yang)

I found a beautiful set of eyes from Petrichor at the Faire. These are the Galline eyes, and they have an amazing hud with so many choices for shadings, for gloss, and even pupil shapes! I’m also showing off the Celestial tattoo from Nefekalum. I actually picked this up a month or so ago at We Love Role Play, but it’s available at Fantasy Faire right now as well!


Aeon’s pose is My Beautiful Star 2 from Pink Moon (Fair Store in Yin Yang)

Topping off the outfit is my favourite set of Cernunnos horns from [Gauze & Trap], the only merchant in the list who is not represented at the Faire!  And remember, all my poses today are available at the Faire!  Check the pics for links!

I certainly don’t play a demoness frequently, but it’s so much fun to do something different, and it’s just brilliant to find so many things to put together in one amazing package. I wish you all a wonderful Faire!

A hui hou kākou!

Oracle of the Star

The astronomer, arranger of the stars, at the centre of her observatory… every move a dance of planets, comets, stars, galaxies… atoms. She is one with the sky, the cosmos, the universe.

Welina mai kākou! Hau’oli Pō’alima!

Bee and Solas at Silvan Moon Designs bring a wonderful treat to We Love Role Play this month: the Seventh Oracle, a two-piece gown available in sixe beautiful colours.


Aeon’s pose is Ostara 4 (rev) from Poseidon Poses

Oracle comes in two pieces, a gown and gauzy overgown that gives a beautiful appearance as you move about. I paired the Cobalt colour with the Night necklace and earring set from *N@N@*.

I built the lovely little venue with a set of goodies from Fallen Gods. The Garden Planetarium dome/pavilion was a quest gift from the 2020 Fantasy Faire, and other items (including the dome skybox) are from the 12th FF Mementos box from Fallen Gods.

As an oracle, I forsee that this is just the perfect gown to accentuate your mysterious beauty, this one is wonderful.

Fantasy Faire 2020: The Fiercest Storms

The fiercest storms may blow us off course… they may wreck our plans and break the keel, but hold on to the lines, and keep your course true.


Aeon’s pose is Loveliness #3 from K&S poses

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’aono! Aloha my friends, Happy Saturday!

There are all kinds of things to find at Fantasy Faire 2020! The beautiful Isle of Shadows is an amazing pirate and mer sim that you have to stop by and sea! (wink wink nudge nudge)


Aeon’s pose is Look Up! #1 from [Kikay] Poses

Belle Epoque brings you Anne, a wonderful piratey-themed outfit available in Maitreya and Legacy fitmesh. It’s a one-piece top/skirt/corset piece, with incorporated belt and pistol. The detail is really amazing!

The fiercest dragons may become the fiercest friends.

Hope comes from unexpected corners. It’s up to us to be the hope for others! Create hope by coming and shopping at the Faire, and take home little bits of magic for yourself.

A winterfae

It’s past Christmas, and perhaps many lights have faded… the winter is long and dark yet before the spring comes….
but there is light in the deep wood, if you are quiet… and patient.

There is magic that sparkles in the snow.

As I roam about SL, and SHOP!  I sometimes find wonderful little things that are JUST PERFECT and I know exactly what to do with them.

And sometimes I find things that are just perfect… but I know they need something… to make them sing, to make them truly come alive.  I love those maybe the most — the mix-and-match, the outfit, the look that is truly one-of-a-kind, because no one else thought to put those things together

I’d been playing with the beautiful Opal Ice skin from Fallen Gods for months, and I’ve had the Snowflakes outfit from Caverna Obscura for a couple of years.

It was truly the beautiful Lightbringer antlers from Spyralle that made me know I had the look I wanted.  They include a HUD to set the jewel/light colours at the tips of the antlers, as well as options with or without the headpiece and headpiece texture.  I couldn’t resist the opal, it goes so well with the skin.  Add to that a beautiful body shimmer from Stargazer, and.. presto.

Now, a quick word about Stargazer Creations: while they have a Marketplace store, it’s empty — and the listed in-world location is a sim that no longer exists.  That said, Stargazer has booths at many of the events that I frequent, and have some remarkable things there.  I’ll update this if I find a new in-world location, but you just need to keep your eyes out!  Stargazer uses Omega Evolved appliers, but includes a Maitreya applier, too.  I think it works really well, but try out their demo, and use proper lighting!  You might try contacting the owner, Aggie Mactavish, to find out more.

Clearly I couldn’t choose just one or two pics.  This is a new favourite…. and it has me almost wishing the snow stays for weeks and weeks and weeks.

Almost.  🙂

A hui hou kākou!  Mālama pono!

Elphaba’s Magic

Hau’oli lā Heleuī kākou!  Happy Hallowe’en, my wonderful friends!  I hope you won’t mind me sharing a new twist on an old outfit with you today.  This Death Girl dress and hood from G Field is one of my favourites, and I really need to wear it more often.  But when I saw the new emerald Pure skin from Fallen Gods, I knew it was just perfect for a little Elphaba-like twist.  And if you don’t know, yes, Elphaba is the name given to The Wicked Witch of  the West in the Wicked books by Gregory Maguire.

I believe I’ve found my kindred soul… my head may be just as full of straw, but he’s certainly got a friend looking out for him.

There is magic to be unlocked in books….

True magic lies not in casting spells, but in weaving care and protection about all.  E mālama pono kākou!

Let me please apologise to you all, and especially to Blue for being so absent the past two months.  The semester has been beating me up something fierce, but I hope to be a little more active, at least!  I have a couple of goodies waiting for pics, so hopefully I won’t keep making Blue do all the work!

Have a wonderfully happy week, my friends!

A hui hou kākou!

Sailors beware

Perhaps lashing yourself to the mast won’t be enough to save you from the siren…. her song is lilting and enticing, speaking of need and loss and possibility…

Aloha my friends!  We’re halfway through July, which means halfway through the current episode of We Love Role Play!

There’s a lovely host of things there every month, and this month is no exception.  I have a lovely number of things to share with you today.  Let’s start with Pure, a beautiful skin from Fallen Gods.  It’s available in several different shadings, from the lighter blue Sapphire tint to a more darker Cerulean.  I chose Abyss, a beautiful darker pupley-blue shade.  I’ve augmented it with body and face tattoos from Spyralle‘s Waverider (Pacific) outfit — you can see that better in later photos.

Silvan Moon Designs brings you Water Nymph, a beautiful short-hemmed empire-fit dress with gauzy flexi silks to blow about you in the breeze.  Water Nymph  comes in fitmesh for Maitreya and SLink mesh bodies, and is available in your choice of four different colours.  This is Dream, a lovely purple-tinted white.

I’ve complemented this with a variety of jewelry items, but of particular note is the Mare Headpiece from Just Another Shop {JAS}Mare comes with a texture HUD allowing you a wealth of choices for pendants, chain, and star colours.

One last bit I want to showcase in these three images — the Pinnacles photo props from Spyralle.  Kerryth brings you a lovely pack of three different rocky pinnacles that are just perfect for marine images, exclusively at the La vie en pose event!  This is a lovely little event for photographers, full of poses, props, and other lovely things — and a LOT of free gifties!

I set these down in heavy surf off the coast of the Realm of Light, with a lovely shipwreck in the far distance.  I think these are going to be a lot of fun with photos, and will likely have some landscaping opportunities for you as well.

Happy Summer shopping!  A hui hou kākou!

Also of note:


Supernova

There was a little story I heard on the social media earlier this week, and with apologies to the OP, I want to try to retell it for you quickly.

I went to the coffee shop and as the barista handed me my espresso, he leaned over and in a quiet voice whispered “Don’t let anyone dull your sparkle”.

Somewhat startled, I smiled and thanked him… and as I turned away to get about my day, I overheard his co-worker tell him “Aww, man, will you knock it off with your inspirational shit?  Nobody wants to hear that!”

He replied “I am NOT going to let YOU dull my sparkle!”

With that in mind… here is a little bit of sparkle!

  • Mishmash FusionNyota Supernova minidress (Feya/Isis/Venus/Lara/Hourglass/Physique/eBody Curvy/eBody Classic/Altamura Sophia/Standard fitmesh)
  • Fallen GodsOpal Laguna skin
  • Evelock Celtic Sheaf Lapis Lazuli Necklace & Earings
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels (Noir Leather)
  • an lar [poses]The Irie Series – Two pose

Happy aloha Friday, my friends!  You’ve made it to the weekend!  How about something slink and sparkly and shimmery, perfect for going out to a little interstellar dancing?  I’d been looking for the right thing to wear with the beautiful Opal Laguna skin from Fallen Gods.  When I saw Mishmash Fusion‘s Nyota Supernova dress at the Sci-Fi con a couple weeks ago, I just knew it was perfect.  I didn’t get the chance to share it with you before now, but it’s the perfect opportunity!

It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me how much I like opal.  The skin has the most beautiful opalescent highlights and I just couldn’t pass it up.  When I saw Nyota Supernova, I knew it was just the perfect complement.  The dress is overall black, with green and blue texture highlights that are a wonderful match to the skin.  Better yet, the cutouts reveal a lot of the opalescent highlights without being completely bare!

Happy Aloha Friday, everyone!  I wish you a safe and relaxing weekend!  Show off your sparkle!

A hui hou kākou!


Darkening light

As you’re undoubtedly aware, I’m a big fan of Silvan Moon Designs, and have the wonderful privilege to blog for them.  Solas and Bee do amazing work, and often feature a whole lot of beautiful medieval- and fantasy-themed gowns.

I think as a result I get very excited when Silvan Moon brings out an outfit that’s not a gown — it’s sure to be something special.

  • Silvan Moon DesignsSilverlight Elven Tunic for We Love Role Play (8 colour choices, Nightowl shown) (Maitreya/SLink fitmesh)
  • *LightStarCeltic Trinity Knot (Silver & Gold) circlet and earrings
  • BootgasmVail Winter Boot black
  • an lar [poses]The Bella Series – Four (m) pose

The filigree belt is just wonderful — it’s mesh, not just textured onto the tunic, although it’s a single piece with the tunic.  The cape is a separate piece, and the breeches are appliers.

Happy Monday, everyone!  Mahalo!  A hui hou kākou!


Fantasy Faire 2019: A piece of a rainbow

Consider this a ‘thank you’.  While I have a little stockpile of shots of the Fantasy Faire sims that I will post to flickr here over the next few days, this is probably the last set of product shots from the faire, the lovely petite from Fallen Gods that I picked up on the very last official day of the Faire.

This little one is the Garden Sprite from Fallen Gods.  Alia uses the Yabusaka petite as a base, and adds a skin with normal and PG versions, and a HUD with 6 facial/makeup variations.

Garden Sprite was a special for the Fantasy Faire, and to be honest, I’m not sure if we’ll see it in the shop or not.  But I couldn’t resist showing this, because to me, she is a little sparkle of sunshine, a dewdrop on an orchid.

Garden Sprite appears to be based off of Fallen GodsEvolution series of skins, but the beautiful blue base is not available as a normal skin for normal avis at this point.  Mind you… I would love to be able to wear this on my normal avi!  Garden Sprite is complete, with hair and a little mesh bikini.  I swapped out for my own hair — this is Athena from Truth Hair, the unrigged/resizable version.  It works just perfectly.

Sprits’s wings are, unfortunately, unscripted.  They’re wonderfully textured with just the right hint of translucence.  I need to see if I can drop an animation script in there for a little flutter!

This little one is a piece of the rainbow, light diffracted and shining, a little bundle of colour… mischievous, laughing, hiding… sparkling.

As of yesterday, the tally for Fantasy Faire 2019 is just over L$17 million.  That’s USD$68,000.  Just… WOW.  People have come together from around the world to shop, to share, to support.  Maybe you weren’t thinking about the fight against cancer, and maybe you were.  Maybe you thought “well, I shouldn’t, but it’s for a good cause”… and you did.

On behalf of all of us, mahalo nui.  Thank you for everything!
