Castanys Kel

The worst gatchas are where you want only one of everything available; the very best are where you want anything & EVERYTHING.  Castanys Kel is definitely positively an awesome example of the very best! As you can see in the key below, every item is a want-to-win, & although they all work fabulously together, every single item is a winner!  And there’s so much there — the Stygian outfit, yes (with HUDs too!), but also a full skin in BOM with optional ears, decorated horns, eyes, matching jewelry (with HUDs!), tattoos, even makeup, plus the orb!  I’m wearing everything in the key below except for the eyes.  See the closeup below.

  • Gatcha – Petrichor – Castanys Kel Gatcha.   I love this exceptionally sexy fantasy outfit, but I do need to draw special attention to the skin…  It’s simply beautiful, with built in whitening around the eyes for a magical effect. EXCLUSIVELY at this month’s Epiphany, opening January 15th.
  • Head:  LOGO  – Chelsea bento head, the latest (& IMHO the best) of all the fabulous LOGO heads.  And as you can see, beautiful in any skin, with any makeup, especially important when you’re into fantasy skins! See the closeup below!
  • Hair:  Kuni – Hera
  • Body:  Slink – Hourglass Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet
  • Eyes:  {Demicorn} Cosmetics – Meringue Eyes (Omega Appliers)
  • Beauty Mark:  Izzie’s – Beauty Mole dark
  • Wings:  Seven’s Selections (now Vaengi Wings) – Insect Wings, Jewel
  • Location:  Cerridwens Cauldron

Mystical Warrior

Brrr, it may be sunny here in Florida but it’s in the 30s! I’ve had to drag out some of my winter wear lol… certainly not what I expected! But I have to admit that it makes me appreciate blogging fantasy even more.  I mean, yes, SL by itself is somewhat of an escape, but when I’m doing fantasy?  For example, to do this post I ended up exploring and shooting in Greenhaven, a role-playing sim.  I’m minding my own business, wandering around, then doing a shoot, when first I am welcomed by who turns out to be the owner of the Greenhaven sims.  Lovely conversation, and I continue to shoot, only to be confronted a short time later by a pair of “watchers” who are guarding the caverns nearby.  Granted, I was in a rather challenging pose, but still I was quite thankful that I’ve done enough medieval role play as a fae to understand the proper forms of address, and have a ready backstory so that I was able to not only get them to sheath their swords but to welcome me to their lands.  Never a dull moment!!! And I must admit, so much fun that it has made me once again consider the pros of joining one of the many roleplaying communities that abound on the grid.  I certainly have the look when there are such fabulous finds as this!!! Happy shopping!

  • Outfit:  Jangka – Mystical.  NEW RELEASE, 100% original mesh, & sized only for Maitreya & Signature, Mystical consists of top, pants, & boots, each of which comes in 6 color options & as a fatpack. The top can be worn in two ways:  with a jacket (as shown) or bare-armed.  As always, the detail is exquisite.  This outfit is EXCLUSIVELY at the December We Love Role Play for 25% OFF, Dec 4th – 30th.  Demo available.
  • Head & Ears:  LOGO  – Chelsea bento head with Ilvanya Elf Ears.  I’ve blogged the new Chelsea head before… I think she is absolutely stunning straight out of the box, but customized her just enough to be a bit different & was thrilled… BUT didn’t truly discover all of her potential until I added the phenomenal elf ears & styled her for fantasy… Let’s just say that my fae look is finally done! I really can’t say enough about these ears… because they are designed by LOGO for LOGO heads, they fit seamlessly at all times into the head (see the closeup below).  In two sizes with a HUD to customize chains, gems, & even the ear tattoos, they would easily be among the best I’ve ever worn, but the truly spectacular feature of these ears that kicks them up even another level is that they have a special AO of their own.  Talk about expressive!!!  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these ears!!!!
  • Horns:  Petrichor – Sanya Deco Horns.  I first blogged these horns when they were introduced at the Samhain Festival back in Oct/Nov, but they are so versatile & look so amazing that they’ve become one of my more go-to body parts. The horns are unisex, 100% custom mesh, modifiable & resizable.  HUD controlled with 80 horn colors, plus more for the metals, skulls, ribbons, gemstones, & more.  They really do work with SOOOO many looks & hairstyles (what every horned female needs)! See the closeup below for all the detail.

  • Hair:  Kuni – Hera
  • Eyes:  {Demicorn} Cosmetics – Meringue Eyes (Omega Appliers)

  • Location:  Greenhaven, The Isle of Whispering Pines

On a New Shore

It’s not easy being fae, at least if you don’t dress in the “normal” (and much more common) human style.  There just are not as many sources for quality, well-designed fantasy wear that fits your particular style of roleplay.  Every time I discover a creative and talented fantasy designer, it makes my wings go all a-flutter.  The fact that I’ve added another fantasy sponsor has opened new vistas of opportunity, and strengthened my ability to contribute even more to this blog.  I look forward to continuing to develop my look, flaunting all kinds of fantasy items (um, I mean demonstrating). It’s a whole new world (and no, I’m not letting the human sing)!

  • Outfit:  Jangka – Exodus.  NEW RELEASE, 100% original mesh, & sized only for Maitreya, Exodus comes in 6 colors.  Each element — the top, pants, boots, armbands, & necklace — is sold separately in both individual colors & in fatpacks, so you can piece the outfit together YOUR way.  It’s EXCLUSIVELY at the September We Love Role Play for 25% OFF, open Sept 4th – 30th.  Demo available.
  • Horns:  Petrichor – Arenvie Horns.  With 5 wear styles & 40 colors in each of the 6 color HUDs, these horns can give you a customized look for every outfit, every hairstyle.  See the closeup below (I’m wearing the curl style using the gloss HUD).  Sold EXCLUSIVELY at the Black Fair, open Sept 12th.  Demo available.
  • Eyes:  Petrichor – Korin Eyes.  These are on an ALL NEW gorgeous, ultra customizable EYE SYSTEM. These 100% custom mesh eyes include 15 customizable eye shine layers, animation layers, shadow layers, pupil layers, & two HUDS – 40 COLOR & 40 FADE packs. The most customization ever! The HUD has a glow, alpha, shine, environment, tinter, & color picker for EVERY layer, & you can adjust L & R eyes separately. It’s amazingly fun & creative. See the closeup below for my 1st combination (you can’t see the animation, but the patterned ring is spinning)… Mesmerizing! Available EXCLUSIVELY at the Engine Room, open Sept 20th – Oct 20th.

I Choose Evil

Posted on by cejalaval

http://I Choose Evil!I’m so excited that I’m starting to build a small set of quality fantasy sponsors! I just find it so much fun to give Thea her wings and see where she lands…  this time, it was right in the middle of a land of Enchantment, where she opted to exercise the glorious evil side of fantasy.  OMG, such fun to glory in being mean and self-centered!!!!  There’s so much available, and so many ways to use accessories that can be used for good or evil, but being good can just be so boring, can’t it???  But, the option is there, whichever way you choose to go lol!

  • Outfit:  Poet’s Heart – Rosaura Gown.  A gown that can be worn two ways (with or without the shoulder thingie), Rosaura reminds me of the question in the Wizard of Oz, “Are you a good witch or a bad witch?, although being designed for an event with a Sleeping Beauty them, instead you get to choose between being the evil queen or the innocent young damsel.  I of course opted for being evil lol!  Sized for Slink Hourglass & Maitreya, these beautifully detailed gown with a separate overskirt comes in 4 color packs plus a  fatpack, with each color pack having 5 colors + black (dark colors) or white (light colors). HUDs can be mix and matched, & allow you to change the color of the gown, the corset, the laces, & the metal hardware.  Available EXCLUSIVELY at Enchantment (Sleeping Beauty theme!), open August 8th – 31st.
  • Horns:  Petrichor/Plastik – Strasi Galaxy Horns.   Introduced at this year’s Fantasy Faire, still photography simply cannot capture the magic of these horns!  100% custom mesh, 9 different variations are included, from solid to muted ) shown in red in the above pic, with spinning worlds) to Cel Stars (shown in blue below, with light that travels up the horns).  HUD controlled with 36 fade variant colors + 16 space variants as well as an Add On Color Picker, together with the fact that these are non-rigged so they can be turned & moved, it’s easy to create whatever look you want!  Demo available.

I want to be where the people are

http://I want to be where the people are

I’ll never forget the first time I saw The Little Mermaid.  In a lot of ways, it was earth-shattering. Before that, taking your kid to see a movie was something you HAD to do.  Now don’t get me wrong; the Disney Classics like Cinderella and Snow White and Dumbo certainly are watchable the first time or two.  But The Little Mermaid was the first of what I felt was “an animated Broadway production”.  The music, the dialog, even the story all blew me away, with all those double meanings to entertain the parents.  It ushered in a new era of children’s entertainment, and as a parent I was able to thoroughly enjoy it myself (though I’ll admit it does get difficult on the 100th watching lol).  This pic is my homage to Ariel and Scuttle, and all I can say is you’re lucky that there’s no sound with my blog so you can’t hear me singing (I can’t carry a tune whatsoever).  The song is oddly appropriate for the times we’re living in as well; I know I saw something on YouTube using this song, as we were all adjusting to stay-at-home restrictions and lack of social contact.  My region enters Phase 2 today, but I’m having knee surgery this afternoon, so it will still be a little bit before I can go where the people are… but I CAN flip my mermaid tail and go swim through the Blake Sea… how much fun is that!!!  Almost my entire mermaid look is all from one fabulous place… Happy shopping!

  • Tail:  Midnyte Creations – Mermaid Tail & bra with HUD for 4 color options.  Maitreya fit only (which is why I’m not wearing the bra).  The Tail has 2 versions, animated & non animated.

Created for Catwa Catya & Maitreya but I don’t have either & it looks great! (I’m just using my own shape.)  EXCLUSIVELY available at Under the Sea, an Evil Bunny Production, June 6th – 16th.  50% OFF during event only!
