Too soon, my love

Posted on by admin

https://Too soon, my love

I love being as fully immersed in fantasy as I have been the last several days… not just here in SL, where the fabulous spring event of Ostara’s Altar is nearing its close, but also IRL where I’ve been completely absorbed by a fantasy novel (and to me, being absorbed in a book means rarely coming up for air and a dose of reality).  But not all fantasy is light and fairy dust — though it is definitely my preference… sometimes it’s dark and lonely and foreboding…  but for me, at least, it’s easy to turn back to the light, especially at this burgeoning time of year.  Enjoy!

Sidetracked from researching Ostara’s Altar

Posted on by admin

https://Sidetracked from researching Ostara's Altar

Ostara… I’m so happy to once again be an official blogger for “her” special fantasy event here in SL, Ostara’s Altar (a Dark Passions event), full of designer exclusives PLUS a 25L egg hunt.  I research EVERYTHING (including perfume lol), so to satisfy my curiosity about who Ostara was and why she has her own celebration,  I discovered that Ostara is basically a modern pagan holiday, celebrating the spring equinox which officially marks the beginning of spring and the awakening of nature.  Named after the ancient Germanic goddess Ostara or Eostre — who was associated with the dawn and new beginnings —  this is a time of rebirth and renewal when the natural world awakens from its winter slumber.

My favorite story about Ostara involves the origin of the Easter Bunny, where she transformed a bird into a hare (how? why? who knows?), and the hare responded by laying colored eggs for her festival.  Is this how the Easter bunny and the decorating of eggs began? Again, who knows, but the great news is that anyone who wants to celebrate the arrival of spring and the renewal of life can also participate in this holiday, regardless of their religious or spiritual beliefs.  Bottom line, Ostara is a good time to literally and figuratively plant seeds for the future.  And that is definitely something to reflect upon, especially while shopping this fabulous event!  Take a browse through the Ostara’s Altar Shopping Guide; then go see the event for some magical shopping, and enjoy the blessings of the season!

  • Outfit:  Witch in a Box – Velora Toga.  It’s really incredible how a simple toga can look so amazing! Unlike many togas that just hang there, the Velora Toga is angled across the body with just a small waist cord, giving it more shape while totally enhancing your curves.  Sized for Legacy+Bombshell, Reborn+Waifu, LaraX, & Kupra, Velora includes a HUD with 5 different colors.  EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at Ostara’s Altar, open April 4th – 19th.  Demo available.
  • Skin:   Petrichor– Varanai, worn in Verophine.  Co-designed with TRAP, this skin series for both male & female avatars features 2K (2048) high-definition textures, materials & parts (see ad below), Varanai is a totally unique look in 30 absolutely stunning textures, available as a fatpack (for female or male), a 3- 5- or 10-custom pack, or by individual skin tone.  Lots of add-ons included, one of my favorites being a selection of materials appliers to achieve different effects …  Demo available for all skin tones.

So good to be back in my fantasy world, replenishing my energies after an unexpected trip to another kingdom… the life-giving waters surrounding the Tree of Life have given me a much needed boost to both my spirits and my body, so I can easily relax back into my normal everyday life… Sighs contentedly, gazing at the beauty and familiarity of the world around me… mmmm, yes, I now have soaked up enough energy to resume my duties taking care of the small creatures who depend on me, and oh yes, it’s the weekend! I even have enough energy to shop lol!!! Fluttering my wings with joy…

  • Outfit: Petrichor in collab w/ Ersch – Lyanara Hallo.  Stunning 2-piece dress in a special 40-texture edition that was created for Halloween (also available in the original texture pack of solids, but I just loved these patterns — especially this one, it’s so different).  Lyanara includes the dress (which has a panty) & full body gemchains, with a HUD that lets you change the color of everything, sized for a whole range of bodies (see the ad below).  Choose from the Hallo pack (located under New Releases in the front of the store), or from 10 single colors, 4 40-color fabric texture packs, or a megapack of the original textures (in the Clothing Room).

https://Twelfth Night refreshments m'lords?

I just learned that in medieval times, there was no Christmas per se.  Instead, there were 12 nights of revelry following the winter solstice.  Christmas as we know it didn’t truly show up until a lot later, gaining popularity in the Victorian era.  So, to be historically correct then, this pic is not a Christmas one, just post-winter-solstice lol!  Happy Twelfth Night from medieval times (and Happy New Year from me lol)!

This stunning medieval gown is sized for Legacy, Reborn, LaraX, & GenX, & as shown in the Ad below, she comes in 5 colorways or as a fatpack (there is a 6th colorway – the gold – which is only available as a 25L Hunt Prize).  EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at Winter’s Hollow 2025, a Dark Passions Event, open through 12N on Dec 31st.  Demo available.
