I’m going to make an exception to my “rule” and leave my fae persona for this post, because it’s a hard one to write. My mother passed away on Saturday night. She had almost 24 hours of pain before they got her meds, and the permission to get in to see her on a compassionate visit (the facility is in COVID lockdown) came too late for me to see her. Although death is a part of life, and this is one that we’ve been anticipating ever since she fell and broke her hip a few months ago, staring death in the face is never easy and even harder to fully accept. This particular post had already been shot and tentatively titled “The Shadow of Death.” Even if I’d known how prophetic it would be, I doubt I could have been more prepared since in my heart I knew her last days were upon us. Ironically, she died 10 years + 1 day from when my dad passed, and she’s been wanting to join him ever since. She is now at peace, and the healing can begin for those of us who are still here, holding her memory in our hearts. Life goes on, and I know that my second life here on the grid will be even more important in the days to come as a place to leave it all behind for just a bit, and escape into my world of fantasy.
- Dress: Poet’s Heart – Helmiina. Two very different looks in one package! I’m wearing Helmiina as a strapless gown with shoulder ornamentation, but you can also choose to wear a long-sleeved coat. Choose colors for the top, the skirt, the shoulder ornamentation, the coat, & the trim with the included HUD. Note the texture with the bare trees… it’s stunning! Helmiina comes in four color packs plus a fatpack; each color pack has 6 gown colors plus black & white. She is sized for Hourglass & Maitreya, & is EXCLUSIVELY at the August Enchantment event, August 14th – Sept 4th. Demo available.
- Collar: Petrichor – Karzakk Collar. This collar is 100% custom mesh, & it’s totally unique! HUD controlled with 30 base textures plus 24 add-ons, you can choose to wear it single toned or “striped” as I did (see the closeup below for greater detail). Includes both rigged & unrigged versions. Available EXCLUSIVELY at the Midnight Order, closing on August 20th. Male version also available.
- Hair: Fantavatar & Moonstruck – Pandora. Original rigged mesh hair, this twisted/braided style with pearl accents is definitely among the most unique medieval/fantasy styled hair that I’ve seen anywhere on the grid. Amazing, just see the closeup below! Demo available.
- Tattoo: Lush Poses – Broken Chest Tattoo. As you can see in the closeup below, the tattoo includes the “splatter” from the broken heart. In both Omega & BOM versions, at two different levels of intensity (original & fade). Awesome! Exclusively available at FABLE, an Evil Bunny Production, open April 7th – 31st.
