Spyralle

InterSections

My lovely friend Sarah introduced me to the Gem Preiz’s The Anthropic Principle (supported by the Linden Endowment for the Arts) a week ago, and rather challenged me to incorporate it in my photographs.  You can learn much more about the sim here.   It’s a large sprawling cityscape in black and neon, and is truly amazing to wander about!

It seemed a good opportunity to show you Spyralle’s new offering for Genre this month, the Face Inter Face.

  • GRAVES — G257 Mainframe Bodysuit (blue)
  • Spyralle — Face Inter Face Headpiece and HUD (exclusive at Genre)
  • AITUI — Mechanical Wings –  Majesty Snowbird +HUD Rare (Gacha item)
  • [Kikay] — Mega Lay Cutie pose

Face Inter Face calls back to an earlier piece that Spyralle did for Genre some years ago.  It’s glasses, a heads-up display, and a restricted message sender all at the same time.  It features a texture-change hud to turn the sunglasses on/off and select one of four different colours, as well as select textures for the little balls and their support pieces.  You can’t see the headband with my hair, but the headband terminates in ring-like headphone speakers for quality audio reception.  😉

Face Inter Face allows the user to project one of several little fractal images on the screen, as well as a couple of emoticons and (my favourite) the letters “afk” and “brb”.  It’s very cute!

A lovely extension of this would be to allow the user to drop in their own small image and toggle through those for the heads-up display.  I’ll have to suggest that to Kerryth…..

For now, stop by Genre before June 11 and pick up a demo.  This is a lovely tech piece, and will easily complement a futuristic or post-apocalyptic get-up.  Or anything else you might think of pairing it with!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Butterflies

Aeon Events, LotD, Reviews, Sponsored

Kerryth at Spyralle has a lovely spring/summer dress for you, exclusively at the current round at Swank.  Lila is a mesh dress in four lovely palettes, each one featuring the lovely multicolour fractal patterns you’ve come to love in Kerryth’s work.

EarthStones’ Flight of Fancy is the perfect accent to Lila.  Flight‘s HUD allows you to select bead and wing stone colours from three different textures.  The blue/green ‘swallowtail’ scheme is perfect for Lila blue!

Due to changing customer demand, Kerryth is trying something new.  The standard five rigged mesh sizes are being sold in one box, and fitmesh for Maitreya Lara, both SLink bodies, and all three Belleza bodies is sold together in the other box.  The idea is to help cut down on the unused copies that you either delete or sit around cluttering up your inventory.  The demo box (free, of course!) has all sizes in it.  But make sure that you get the right one when you purchase!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Faerie of the star

Aeon Events, LotD, Requested, Reviews

A sweet friend gave me the title Faerie of the Star a long time back… and it is silly and fun and something I treasure.  And Kerryth at Spyralle has created an outfit that matches that title: the lovely Starseeker, exclusive for Fantasy Faire 2017!

This fae may not have typical wings, but her heart and soul soars in a shower of stars.  Starseeker includes a full-body-and-face tattoo (System and Omega appliers) with a set of flexi drape pieces and mesh arm vanes and headpiece/crown.   The Crown and armpieces are included with Starseeker, but are also available as a separate package.

The headpiece is a beautiful work of art.  Star-particles twinkle between the wings, and shower softly from either side.  Both side and centre effects may be turned on or off separately.  The arm vanes likewise issue a gentle shower of stars and may also be turned off as desired.  Little invisible star trails (particle generators) may be added to each hand.

If that weren’t enough, Spyralle has collaborated with Tai’Dyed to include a beautiful matching version of the Nebula dance attachments.  This is a set of 22 flexi attachments that swirl about you as you move.  The effect is stunning and must be seen to be believed!  You can pick and choose from the 22 included attachments to achieve the right look for you – or run out your maximum allowed attachments!

This outfit was made for dancing, and is absolutely gorgeous in low light.  It may be my favourite creation from Kerryth and Spyralle yet.  What’s best is that 100% of the proceeds from these items go to Relay for Life.  You can support The American Cancer Society and shine as a star at the same time!

I’ve left one more image with the dancing whisps for you on my flickr page.  It’s my favourite, and a little present for you.

Thank you so much for following us, I love bringing you some of the treasures of SecondLife!

Mahalo nui loa!  A hui hou!

Relay for Life magic

Aeon LotD

A spring evening, a glimmer in the moonlight, a glimpse of something magical…. Carrie’s Lingerie offers Dreamy in lime, complete with lingerie, wings, and makeup as an exclusive supporting Relay for Life!

Some matching makeup?  Dreamy includes eyeshadow and lippy, and it works so well with the ensemble.

I’ve added the Forest Edge mask from Spyralle and a beautiful pendant from EarthStones here.

Carrie’s mainstay has been in standard layer and applier items, and Carrie does it to good effect.  skin-tight clothing, things that should look painted on work so very well!  Add in some flexi gauzy panels and we’ve got something beautiful going on. Now… if you want something a little racier,  Carrie’s Lingerie includes two options in Dreamy: the opaque butterfly top and panty shown above… or a very lacy one shown below.

Best of all, Dreamy is one of three outfits offered by Carrie’s Lingerie for Relay for Life.  Proceeds go to the fund, so please stop by and help out the cause, and get yourself a little treat in the bargain.

And those stars?  Those are my falling stars from Blue’s Fantasy!  They’re in the inworld store, so check them out!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Dark fae

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

I wrote a while ago about the importance of colour.. and it seemed, even then, to be somewhat of a trite statement.  But it’s still so true.  I got this lovely little dress combo from Spyralle, and in the daylight hours, the iridescence didn’t make up for the grey… and fortunately I held on to it.  But oh oh oh — a dark angel / dark fae theme at my favourite girls’ club?  All of a sudden, Thornweaver Dusk took on new life!

Thornweaver features Omega appliers / standard SL clothing layers and a few different flexi skirt options.  It feels just painted on (in a good way), and the subtle colour gives a perfect iridescence.  The matching wings are unscripted, but just the right amount of flexi to flutter as you walk or dance.

A change of hair, a change of makeup… a change of mood?  And a new pet, perhaps….

If you don’t mind, I need to go take my new… friend… for a walk… erm… flight.

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Daughter of the sea

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

All life comes from the Sea.

  • Spyralle — Waverider Green Flash tattoo, fins, drape and crown
  • Luminesse — Sea Turtle Green Agate necklace & earrings
  • Exposeur Props and Poses — February Gift 15-6M pose (Marketplace Link)

When Kerryth at Spyralle came out with Waverider in mesh fins and Omega appliers (or standard SL layers) I thought WOW!  All it needs is a tail to be a perfect mermaid.  I’ve been on the hunt for a tail to a) complement it, and b) work with a mesh body ever since.

.:!EVolved creatures!:. came to the rescue, with a Bento enabled tail.   This tail waves so very smoothly, it is a joy to swim!

EVolved creatures has really put together a remarkable tail even without Bento.  MErmaid tail #1 features an amazing HUD that allows you to adjust glow, transparency, and alpha of the fins, belt, and scales.  There’s a skin blender at the waist, and an amazing selection of scale patterns.  I’ve shown a lightning-y one above — it’s my favourite as I think it complements Kerryth’s Waverider patterns (lightning is awfully fractal in nature, you know).  I thought I’d show you a few other options as well, though.

You can’t see the full crown so well with Calico‘s Talia hair, but it features a band across the forehead with fins from the side, and the same fractal motif as the body tattoo.  Luminesse‘s green agate Sea Turtle jewelry completes the ensemble.

I’ll admit, I took WAY too many pics of this, but I have so totally fallen in love with this outfit, both with and without the tail.  There are a host of pictures on flickr, and I’ll post more over the next few days.

Please go try out EVolved creatures‘s tail, there’s a 1L demo.  It doesn’t feature the HUD, but you can see how well it fits and how well it moves.  One quick note — the Bento tail can misbehave a bit on mermaid dances and animations (although it does fine on poses).  This is a Bento issue, and Tithis at EVolved is aware of it and working on the problem.  There will be a free update when it’s solved!

From this wahine hiʻu iʻa to all of you, aloha kakou!  Mahalo! A hui hou!

 

The light of dawn

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Sister of Selene, goddess of the Moon, and  Helios, god of the Sun is Eos, goddess of the dawn.  Spyralle‘s  Eos is just as bright and beautiful as her namesake!

  • Spyralle — Eos gown, updated with Omega appliers
  • Luminesse — Sea Turtle Purple/Green/Orange Agate necklace & earrings
  • [L.Warwick] — Savannah Ankle Strapped Heels (Grape Leather)
  • GLITTER — May Group Gift #2 pose

I love Luminesse’s honu Sea Turtle jewelry sets! They are bright and cheery and feel like they are at once casual and fancy — or can be, whichever you need.  And when you are wearing purple hair, that’s exactly the flexibility you want!

Kerryth has updated Eos with Omega appliers, although it’s still available in SL clothing layers.  It features several different flexi add-on pieces to complete the gown, gauzy and gorgeous!

Stop by Spyralle and take a look at her Omega-updated outfits, as well as all of the beautiful mesh.  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

 

A splash of warmth

Aeon LotD, Reviews

Yes, I can celebrate the ice and snow one day and the warmth and the surf the next — or a couple days later, anyway!  Spyralle‘s lovely mu’umu’u is perfect for enjoying the late afternoon Sun.  And it’s just perfect to welcome Oahu back to SL.  I don’t know how long it’s been back, but this happy little sim holds a place dear to my heart, and I was sad when it closed up about a year ago!

A plumeria for the hair and a blossom on a nice gold chain are courtesy of Island Style Designs.

Spyralle‘s lovely styles and wonderful gifts will thrill you throughout the year.  Stop by, become a member, and enjoy Kerryth’s fine work.  If you’re not familiar with how Kerryth runs the group, Spyralle‘s VIP group alternates between free and a fee.  When there’s a gift offered, there’s a charge, and when there’s no active group gift, it’s free.  You can wait until it’s free, but I have to tell you: there is a HOST of lovely gifts — including this mu’umu’u — available to members right now.  It’s so worth joining and holding on to that membership.  I’m not sure how long the gifts will be there, so I hope you take advantage of it right away!

Happy Monday, my friends.  Hold Aloha in your hearts, it will warm you any day of the week, every week of the year!  Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Shimmering like snow

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha kakou!  It has been a busy holiday season and I’ve been too long away — visiting family and then a research conference and the start of the term kept me awfully busy.

But I’m back to show you a lovely reissued gown from Spyralle.  Chione was a daily advent gifty back in December, and features a flexi skirt and new omega appliers!  Long time readers know how much I like a flexi skirt for dancing.  They just look so much better than long mesh!

I think that I have showed off the Twinkling Lights jewelry — earrings, bracelet, anklet, and necklace (not shown) — in an earlier post.  I’ll admit I wear them every chance I can get in this snowy season!

I hope that you had a wonderful season.  I know some of us will be happier for the end of cold and snow (I will be for the sake of getting to run outside again!) but I still love cuddling up in front of a warm fire while it’s snowy outside — or taking a nice walk in a snowstorm with that someone special.

Mahalo to Kerryth at Spyralle for a great holiday season, and for updating so many outfits with Omega appliers.  I’ll surely be showing you some more from there!

Mahalo!  A hui hou!

Gossamer beauty

Aeon Fashion, LotD, Reviews

Aloha, na hoaloha!  I’ve been wanting to share with you some of the treasures from Spyralle‘s advent calendar.  They’re utterly amazing beauty, and Kerryth has made them even better — and is giving them to you for the Holiday season!

So, You’re probably familiar with Spyralle‘s beautiful art and some very pretty mesh.  Kerryth created a lot of beautiful SL layered items featuring flexi skirts.  Well, she’s updated the SL layers, creating Omega appliers for them.  Now she’s been updating the flexi skirts as well!  And they’re your gift for being a Spyralle member!

What’s that?  Not a member of Spyralle?  There’s a group join fee whenever there are gifts available, but wow is this worth it.  Yes, I know we’re half way through december, but we still have over a week to go before the calendar runs out, and she’s had a new/revamped outfit up EVERY DAY.   You can do the math!  You truly cannot afford to miss out on this!  I’ll be showing you a few more outfits before we’re done!

Please stop on by Spyralle and take a look.  These dresses, skirts, gowns are just gorgeous.  Mahalo, Kerryth!
