Fantasy Faire 2021: In the golden light

A golden glow, sparkling and bright, mystery and elegance and beauty.


Aeon’s pose is My beautiful star 5 (M) from Pink Moon

Aloha! Greetings from the Fairegrounds!

A few little lovelies for you today. First let’s make very clear that -AZUL- is one of my favourite gown makers, producing some of the most lovely textured elegant gowns that I’ve found in-world. The beautiful Essi is no exception! It’s available at the Faire in gold or silver, with a beautifully textured golden accent. The silver gown (which I’m not showing you!) is particularly striking, as the golden detail against the silver makes a very beautiful two-toned contrast. The gold works a little better with my complexion, so I opted to show the gold gown!


Aeon’s pose is Frigg 1 (M) from Astalianda

That statue in the background is worth a closer look: it’s a beautiful set piece from from Cerridwen’s Cauldron called The Heart Mender. It comes in two versions: white marble (shown) and a crystal version. Both versions feature crystal hearts (one broken, one healed) in the hands. It will be a beautiful addition to your garden or hall! Oh, yes, and it comes with a planter garden surround (great for a garden) or without (better for the hall, probably).

There’s a wonderful set of masks from from AIR. Maschera a un’ala comes in gold and silver versions for Relay for Life, and has full, left, or right side only. I love the idea of the half-mask, so, here you go. It really works nicely, I think, with Azul’s Essi gown. The mask is resizable mesh, so getting a good fit is pretty straightforward.

You’ll also note the wonderful halo from *SR* design. The haloes come in seven different colours, and can be modified in colour. There’s a beautiful shimmering kind of effect, and a slow rotation of the whole thing. As i write this up, I’m wearing it with a purple fae that I wear while I dance on the Fairchylde. It mounts on the avatar centre, so it stays in place behind you as you dance, which is kinda neat. I’ll have to take another pic and show that off to you later!

I hope you are having a wonderful Faire-day! I will see you around the Fairegrounds!

A hui hou kākou!

Snowfall

There’s something right and beautiful about celebrating the turning of the year with lights…. our memories of the past light our today, the hope of the future lights the path ahead.

Aloha kākou! Mele Kalikimaka a Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!


Aeon’s pose is Me from {Way} (now Lov poses)

I recently discovered Carpe Noctem, and have another wonderful little warm snuggly outfit to share with you. This is the lovely Iby cable-knit sweater dress, and it’s individually available in twenty different colours and ten different patterns. Like the Andie top, you can get each of the patterns separately — no colours/textures are reserved for the fatpack!


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

Iby is available in Legacy, Legacy Perky, Lara, and Lara Petite fitmesh. Lara Petite! I’m over the moon! The patterning here is just really perfect, the snowflakes look just wonderful.

I added my Snow Flurry necklace and earrings from EarthStones, as well as some lovely gold tights from Alaska Metro <3.  They’re the perfect complement to the gold and silver snowflake motif of the dress.


Aeon’s pose is Dust in the Wind (mirror) from Luanes World

It’s been a long year… and 2021 will definitely have its share of challenges — but I wish you a wonderful new year filled with light and peace and love. Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!

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.


Aeon’s pose is Priestess 3 from Poseidon Poses

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.

Aloha kākou! A hui hou!

remain in the light

A dream of nightlife… the neon, the crowded dance floor, the laughter, the irressistable beat of the music that you feel as much as hear. Perhaps now the dance floors are empty, the music hard to hear as our world staggers to handle the strain… but hold this dream, this light, this feeling. What we hold we can retain.


Aeon’s pose is Try to forget you, female single pose 2 from Luanes World

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

There is sometimes a disconnect between SL and RL, and perhaps now more than ever… but SL gives us the chance to maintain the social contacts that we might be starting to starve in RL right now. So, it’s the weekend, let’s dance, for there is life!


Aeon’s pose is All Dressed Up 05M from [ west end ] poses

It’s no secret that I love sparkly and shiny, and a little bit of revealing is a happy joy — so Ally Adventure is always a big favourite of mine. This is the Cyra Deep Cutouts tunic dress from Ally★Adventure.


Aeon’s pose is [KIMONO-F] 4(M) from Happy Dispatch Animation

It’s all kinds of sparkly, and comes in 8 different colours, with somewhat varying degrees of… reveal. There’s also a free demo and a fatpack available.


Aeon’s pose is waiting for him, single pose 1 from Luanes World

I hope you are all well today, that the stress of the past two weeks and of the vision of the next few does not ride too heavy on your shoulders.

Mahalo! A hui hou kākou!

A Monday Wish

Even in the best of worlds, it may be hard to remember your joy on a Monday morning. In our world today, with so much darkness and fear surrounding us, we must always find our wonder, our joy, our light. Mahalo nui, thank you for being my light.

Aeon’s pose is The Amara series #5 from an lar [poses]

Welina mai kākou! Hau‘oli Pō’akahi! Aloha my friends, Happy Monday!

The March edition of We Love Role Play is now open, and Bee and Kerryth at Silvan Moon Designs have a beautiful new gown for you.

Aeon’s pose is Being Miss Red #3A from an lar [poses]

Giselle Magelina comes in seven beautiful shades, and is available in SLink and Maitreya Lara fitmesh. I’ve paired it with a beautiful jewelry set from *LightStar. I picked this up ages ago, and it’s still available and it still looks amazing. You’ve seen it before in many of my other fantasy role-play gowns.

Aeon’s pose is Dance #5 from K&S poses

It’s a rainy morning here, but I hope that your Monday starts out with at least a little joy!  Me, I still can’t get over what I look like with long straight hair.

Mahalo! A hui hou kākou!

Aeon’s pose is The Bella Series — One from an lar [poses]

Aloha kākou! I hope everyone’s week is off to a lovely start. Here’s a lovely gown that I picked up from The Crystal Clothing Co.. Bristol’s Joy is available in a wide range of colour options, with all of the standard fitmesh options as well as the standard five rigged mesh sizes.

Aeon’s pose is The Arica Series — Five (m) from an lar [poses]

The texturing is nicely done, and it moves pretty decently for a long dress. The hem is a little short, and can give a bit of a culottes feel to them depending on how your AO moves, but all in all the colours and texturing really just make this a lovely piece.

Have a wonderful week my friends! Aloha kākou! A hui hou!

With a spirit of eagles

Aloha kākou!  Hello, everyone, I wanted to share this lovely headdress with you from Spyralle.  Eagle of the Forest is a new release that is available now.  It’s resizable mesh in two pieces: the ‘wings’ on either side of the head, and the face frontpiece.  They’re each individually resizable and the frontpiece and main headdress are positioned separately to fit you just right.  If that’s not enough, the headdress comes with a six-texture HUD to retexture the circle features on either side.

I matched Eagle of the Forest with Owl Moon, an older gown from Spyralle.  I know, I know, everyone is doing fitmesh these days, but Owl Moon is lovely, and fits me pretty nicely, and it looks soooo good with Eagle of the Forest.

I always like mixing and matching, but I fear I may have added one more piece from Spyralle — the Emerald Waves necklace.  It’s a larger piece, and I don’t have a lot of things that I can wear it with, but the large décolletage of Owl Moon gives it just the right framing.

I really liked the look of the full headdress, but you might try it without the frontpiece for a more… regal and less ‘shaman’ kind of look.  You can find it featured at the Spyralle Shop at Mauna Waipio.  And if you’re in the mood to shop, to take a look at Spyralle’s booth at the Mystical Market, where you’ll find a number of lovely treasures.

A hui hou kākou!  Mālama pono!

Winter is Coming

The onset of Winter is a wonderful time to me, and sometimes the magic swirls around like falling leaves and snowflakes.  Kerryth at Spyralle introduced a new pattern for her Silvia dress, and offered a beautiful leafy headpiece that matches perfectly.  This looked beautiful enough in my “usual” Quinn Perle skin from Oceane Body Design , but when I tried the Opal Ice skin from Fallen Gods, something really shiny began to take place.

This outfit was just a joy to put together, and there’s just so much here to share with you.  I found the beautiful dress and headpiece from Spyralle on a recent trip, then kept finding the perfect things to put together with the outfit.  The Nature’s Splendour jewelry from EarthStones was just perfect to carry the maple leaf theme, and the HUD let me select some blue and opalescent textures that carry the theme of the dress, the headdress, and the skin.  On top of that, while wandering around Enchantment, I came across the perfect face paint / facial tattoo from Nefekalum Tattoos — the beautiful blue maple leafs!  It is almost as if this was destined.

Add in the Silvan Boots from [QE]Designs, and the Arboreal wings from Vaengi, and presto… .the perfect little fae for the season.

If you’re like me, there’s a lot of chaos to take place before the December holidays.. and those December holidays themselves take on many different forms.  But I think that nearly all of them carry the same message — a time of peace, a time of joy, a time of family and friends.  I hope that even in the chaos that you may all carry that joy with you throughout the next month.

Have a wonderfully happy week, my friends!  A hui hou kākou!

Night lights

Aloha kākou!  Happy Friday, everyone!  I was thinking about going out dancing tonight, so I thought I’d share a wonderful little outfit and skin with you!  The outfit is a little mix-and-match from R2 Fashion A/D/E, and the Psy skin is from Fallen Gods.

  • <K&S> — Loveliness #3 pose

I’m always amazed at what the creators in SL can do with textures and materials these days.  The shine on the R2 outfits is incredible — from the metallic sheen to the gloss on the transparent bits.

  • StardustSummer Breeze 05 Bento Pose

I really love the Psy series of skins that Alia at Fallen Gods has created.  The electricity/plasma/lightning-y patterns on the dark skin really lend themselves to my creativity.

  • StardustSummer Breeze 03 Bento Pose

Sometimes you just need to dress how you feel…. and sometimes you need to feel how you dress.  So, you know — it’s Friday… time to feel sparkly.

Have a wonderfully happy weekend, my friends!  A hui hou kākou!

The Autumn Queen

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!
