It might be my imagination, or just wishful thinking, but fantasy seems to be taking a bigger share of the spotlight here in SL. I’m not just talking about fae ears, those are everywhere, which I honestly find a bit insulting, that non-fantasy avatars have appropriated this most obvious of physical fantasy traits and sport them as a cool designer trend, rather than a symbol of one’s immersion in the fantasy realm. Be that as it may, the quality and quantity of fantasy items seems to be proliferating, as are events dedicated to the world of fantasy. It’s an exciting time, one that I really never thought I’d see, especially after most of the elves sailed off to far-off worlds on other grids. (I myself emigrated to InWorldz for a time, but that’s another story!) The wealth of imagination and the dedication to even the tiniest of details is truly inspiring, in both fantasy apparel and in home & decor. I’m happy to share just a few wonderful finds… sprinkling a little fairy dust to enhance your shopping experiences… Enjoy!
- Outfit: Poet’s Heart – Priss. To me, she’s a light & airy mix of medieval, silks, & fae… in other words, pure fantasy! Priss comes in four color packs plus a fatpack; each color pack has two HUDS, one for sheer & one for opaque textures. Priss is sized only for Maitreya, & is available EXCLUSIVELY at the September We Love Role Play event, open Sept 4th through the end of the month. Demo available.
- Basin: Fantavatar & Moonstruck – Medieval Chamber Basin. Original mesh & only 2 LI, this gorgeous little piece of medieval home decor adds that finishing touch to your boudoir. The detail is fabulous! The metal glows in the light, & the water has an animated ripple. Includes two unique standing animations, one washing hands & one washing the face. Simple, & simply beautiful!!!!
- Skin: Petrichor – Atharia, worn in Kaoru. Every skin from this designer is highly detailed, gorgeously styled, & pure fantasy to its core. Atharia is a personal favorite, with swirling colors on both body & face, available in 25 color variations. In Bom/Omega/mesh body & head applier versions for both male & female, plus add-ons for nails, Uni ears, etc., so it should work for just about every avatar. Created in conjunction with []TRAP[], this is another amazingly detailed, gorgeously styled skin that is pure fantasy yet seemingly realistic.
- Horns & Jewelry: Petrichor – Uletia Horns. Originally developed as a minigacha, these modifiable unisex horns are available with 15 different color HUDs, each of which offers 10 horn textures plus so many options I couldn’t even count them! The “blooms” can be visible or hidden, too!
