A Masque for Life

A mask protects, a mask hides… and a masque tantalises….


Aeon’s pose is Winter Spirit 02 from *Eternal Dream*

Aloha kākou!

I have a wonderful little couple of things to share with you today, a beautiful mask from Kerryth at Spyralle and a beautiful new updo from Magika.

The Masque of Summer is a wonderful mask, perfect for a midsummer’s… masque — for the ball, beautiful gowns swaying under the stars as the orchestra plays. Kerryth’s Masque of Summer is unrigged mesh: it can be resized and positioned for your face, and comes in six different lovely patterns. Each one has a HUD for choosing gem and metal colour to tailor it to your look. You can find it at We Love Role Play this month for another few days!


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

I also get to share this quick pick-up — the Midnight updo from Magika. Magika is coming out with some new hairstyles with some very life-like texturing. I really love this one. I don’t have really close-up shots of it to share: Firestorm on a linux system has a known but that causes some triangular rendering errors in some meshes with alphas. I’ve got it on great authority (my assistant today who held the lights for me) that the triangles that I could see were completely invisible to her on her windows machine. It looks really wonderful, and I’m really excited for new styles from Magika soon!


Aeon’s pose is The Mirror Pose from Shi.S Poses

One last note, my wonderful friends. My friend, the beautiful and talented Kerryth, owner and creative force of Spyralle announced to her group that she is facing some rather serious health issues. Please keep her in your thoughts, your prayers if you have them. She has not shared prognosis, but keep her and her loved ones in your thoughts.

Mahalo nui kākou! A hui hou!

City Lights

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Hey, Whit?  If you’re out there, I still think of you every time I post a video to go with a post.  🙂  Some appropriate music, courtesy of Annie Lennox:

Gazing out above the city streets, the glitter of lights…. a different kind of beauty than the shining stars on a moonless night.  A million lights, out there unseen a million lives, a million stories, each one shining bright in its own way.  A million sequins sparkling in the velvet black, bright in a neon glow.

Aloha kākou, my friends.  You may know how much I like the amazing textures that Ally Adventure creates for their fashions.  Demetra is a two-piece top-and-skirt outfit that is available in two different textures, a lighter glitter sequins with gold accents and a darker glitter sequins version with silvery accents.  I opted for the light/gold one.

Demetra is available in fitmesh for all of the major mesh bodies plus five standard rigged mesh sizes.  Ally Adventure appears to no longer have an in-world store, but is still actively producing new clothing and can be found on Marketplace with demos for all their items.  You should definitely pick up the free demo to see how it fits on you — and which texture you prefer.  I’ve been so happy that they’ve been producing fitmesh for the mesh bodies now!

Also a side note, I combined Leela and Squeeze hairstyles from Analog Dog here.  Both are independently wonderful styles, but pairing them gave a huge curly mess that… just felt right.

The real magic of Ally Adventure are the remarkable materials-enabled textures.  The sparkles just have to be seen to be believed.  To my knowledge, every clothing item Ally sells comes with a set of face/body lights that are designed to enhance the sparkle without being too annoying to those around you.

No matter what your view of the world is, stop a moment… bask in the life around you, the shining lights — starlights, city lights, blinking lights — and enjoy the view.

Mahalo nui, my friends!  A hui hou kākou!

 

on the cool breezy dunes…

Aloha kākou!  I’m so sorry I’ve been away and sporadic, hopefully things will get back to normal here over the next week!   Like many of you, I enjoyed the big extravaganza of SL15, and picked up my store credit to Blueberry.  I found something just perfect — the DWL Classic jeans!

The fatpack for these jeans is totally worth it.  There’s a thirteen colour HUD plus exclusive patterns (I love the boho pattern shown — it matches my foil tattoos from Alaska Metro!), and three different jeans cuts – skinny, classic, and boot cut.

The belt from Bellydance Goddess is resizable, and just the perfect addition to this lovely little outfit.

I probably don’t need to tell you, Blueberry is just so hard to beat for quality mesh!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Hau`oli Lā Hānau Kerryth!

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Kerryth at Spyralle has turned ten, and the presents are for you!  For a VERY limited time, Kerryth offers Coelis, a beautiful gown in purple to her group!  If that wasn’t all, nearly every purple item at Spyralle is on sale for 50% off!

EarthStones‘ Playful Dolphins works really well with this gown, and the choice of stones is perfect: the mother-of-pearl matches the buttons on the gown wonderfully.

Coelisis available in fitmesh for both SLink bodies, Maitreya, TMP, Belleza Venus, and a standard fitmesh.  I really love the lace panel and buttons at the front!

Hau`oli Lā Hānau Kerryth!  Congratulations on ten years of orbits about the SecondLife Sun, and thanks for sharing your art with us!  For the rest of us, hurry on out to Spyralle!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

A Grand Spyralle

Aeon Places, Sponsored

Kerryth at Spyralle and Tailahr of Tai’Dyed have joined forces to create a new shopping experience for you!  The new Spyralle/Tai’Dyed main store at Mauna Waipio is now open, and it is truly a beautiful sight!

Kerryth  and Tailahr have created a wonderful little mini-hunt to celebrate the Grand Opening.  They have hidden six brightly-coloured polyhedrons (rhombicubotahedrons, for the mathematically/geometrically minded) about the store — each one is animated, and moves about in some way, peeking out and then hiding again.  Six lovely little treasures are hidden inside!

The store is based on the Nu Orne structures from Cerridwen’s Cauldron, and give a lovely sense of magic and enchantment, the perfect setting for Spyralle and Tai’Dyed’s wares.

The new store occupies the southeast portion of the sim: Kerryth and Tailahr ask that you not intrude into the private residential parts of the sim to the North and West.

I think you’re going to love the new digs.  There are a lovely host of beautiful vistas.  The team has been working very hard to bring the new location to you, and have been celebrating with parties.  I hope you enjoy the new shopping experience as much as I have!   Please stop by the new store and take a look today!

Mahalo, my friends!  A hui hou!

Time is running out at Spoonful of Sugar, but there’s still time to get in on the lovely treats and help support Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) (Doctors Without Borders).  A portion of every purchase of Spyralle‘s Sylvia dress goes to support MSF, so you get to help others in need and look great as you do!

Sylvia comes in six beautiful colours to suit the season and your mood!

Don’t miss out!  Make a contribution to MSF, stop by  Spoonful of Sugar, and share a little joy and peace.  The world really needs it these days!

Mahalo!  Happy Aloha Friday!  A hui hou!

Rowena Springflower has long been one of my favourite designers.  In a world of exorbitantly priced single-colour/texture items and fatpacks for a very modest discount,  Rowena has long featured lovely mesh with included texture-selection HUDs for a reasonable price.     

You may know that I rarely wear high feet/heels, but these coordinating heels are really quite lovely.

  • ProPose — F1, September Group Gift

Rowena’s Designs has a free group and always has some lovely gifties.  Stop on by, join up, take a look around, and come back often!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

the allure of gold

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Mmmm, it’s Friday night.  Dress up sharp, something slinky and sparkly.  Wine me, dine me, take me dancing, I want to see the lights of the city!

Romance me until the night is long, the stars shining in the sky the faintest echo of the sparkle in your eyes.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

 

Heart of Soraya

Aeon Events, Fashion, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Bee and Solace at Silvan Moon Designs have a wonderful exclusive for the Fantasy Gacha Carnival!    The three-piece Psalm of Soraya has four lovely commons colours, and full sets in coal and ice as rares.

I shared Spyralle‘s Grow a New Heart with you before, it looks just perfect in Soraya’s chest cut-out

Solas’ fine mesh skills show up in the lovely lace-up back.  And take a look at Bee’s butterflies hiding in the gown texture!

You’d best hurry: the Fantasy Gacha Carnival only lasts until September 7th, then it, too, disappears like a dream.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Caverna Obscura recently celebrated their 10th anniversary in-world, and to celebrate, Elvina Ewing created a Anais, a dream in golden silk.  This was a one-day only gift, so I fear that I can’t send you to Caverna looking for it — but I can send you to Caverna to look at all the wonderful things that Elvina is creating.  She’s long been a source for amazing outfits, and her more recent forays into fitmesh do not disappoint!

Anais comes in several variations, sheer and opaque depending on how brazen you would like to be… or how revealing.  Either way, Elvina lets you be your sultriest.

Get yourself to Caverna Obscura  and check out all the lovely pretties for your fae, your arabian nights, or whatever your fantasy might be.
