Holiday Guard Duty

Posted on April 17, 2022 by cejalaval

It’s always hard to be on duty when everyone else is celebrating. But sneak attacks have often happened on holidays when the enemy thinks you’ll be too distracted to properly keep watch. Since my partner is away visiting the tribe of his birth — a tribe where I am not welcome, what with my wings and my horns — I volunteered to take on back-to-back shifts so that others could relax and enjoy the celebration. It’s but a small sacrifice to keep watch over this tribe that welcomed us into their midst after we were outcast by our own upon our rule-breaking marriage. I am happy to do it, and proud of the responsibility they allow this adopted daughter, and yet, it’s still lonely up here in the heights, hearing the laughter and revelry from below, feeling apart from it all. It’s been so boring, my mind keeps drifting to other times, other places. But soon it will be dark; those happy sounds will carry even further, and that is when I need to be on fullest alert, guarding against any and all dangers in the shadows, to protect those who have willingly and openly become our new family. Perhaps it is the blending of the races in my background, my adherence to no single set of practices, but it is my wish for all to have a happy holiday, whatever and however they celebrate, in any tribe, in any village, in any family. Sprinkles a little fairy dust on the wind, and with a sigh, I set my mind to hours more of watchful vigilance…

Fae Scouting the Path

Posted on March 13, 2022 by cejalaval

Even a fae shares the human tendency to sometimes wonder how life would have been if born into another time, another place. Based on how the American Indian culture often absorbed — in fact, in many cases welcomed — members of other races, I tend to think that they would have also welcomed members of MY tribe, letting our wings and other attributes be of benefit to the tribe. As I have said before, I am not an aggressive warrior… I do not attack our perceived enemies. However, I happily put my enhanced vision and flight ability to scout out trouble and will staunchly defend my people (whichever culture they might be!) if necessary. And to me, this is the essence of roleplay… to understand your character, her motivation, her life, her story… and then live that life, in that time. Now I think I see something in the distance and must focus so that there is time to sound the alert if circumstances dictate…

Outfit: Jangka – Shauni. A simple outfit, perfect for scouting & other activities, with fabulous attention to detail such as the fur texture in both the top & the loincloth, the small colored beads on the armbands, the legband, & those crossing my stomach, the shading of the feathers, & so much more. 100% original mesh, & sized only for Maitreya & Legacy, the Shauni basic outfit (top & loin cloth) comes in 4 individual colors or as a fatpack, as does the matching feathered legband; the armbands are available in your choice of black or brown.

En Garde!

It’s rare that someone asks, but I notice the looks when I stroll into a strange sim. As a child of what was at the time a somewhat shocking union between elf and fae, you’d think I’d be used to the subtlety of raised eyebrows and the directness of outright stares. But in these more modern days, it’s my warrior attire and attitude that seems to draw the more immediate reaction. It’s sad that even today most people seem to prefer their fantasy folk in either dreamy silks that show a lot of skin or more formal medieval wear that covers it all up (both of which I love to wear on the right occasions)… warrior garb is still cause for those ongoing second looks. Sometimes I can even hear the unspoken thoughts about whether I’m just dressing the part or if I have the skill to wield my weapons with expertise. And believe me, I understand those doubts. Even today, it isn’t easy for a female to become a warrior. And growing up as an outsider, not really belonging to any one clan, I was included in the basic training given to all so that I could help defend when necessary. But true warrior training was denied me, so it was something I had to develop the hard way (not that there IS an easy way!), watching, teaching myself, training independently for hours and hours, learning from anyone willing to teach me, whether it be as a lesson to warn me off or to truly help me hone my skills. So yes, I understand those looks, but mixed in with the hostility and the indifference I am also beginning to note some looks of admiration when a practiced eye notes the ease with which I both carry and wield my weapons, how they are truly extensions of my body. So as I continue to hone my skills, I’m also learning to hold my head up just a little bit higher, to meet those doubting eyes with confidence and ease, ready to defend. En garde!

Outfit: Jangka – Clary. 100% original mesh, & sized only for Maitreya & Legacy, the Clary basic outfit (tunic, leggings, leather corset, shoulder “armor”) comes in 6 individual colors; both the matching Clary boots & the matching armbands are each available in your choice of black or brown.

Sitting Pretty

Posted on November 29, 2021 by cejalaval

Sighs, my wings are drooping, I’m so tired from all the holiday shopping… the “standard” weekend sales are often exhausting, but all these Black Friday sales??? Not to mention that SL had to throw it’s own brand of action into the mix, making it extremely sloooooooow to attach/detach anything, so trying on demos (which is a must, since no amount of fairy dust will fix something that just doesn’t work on my head, my body, my shape, and so on). I’m just going to sit pretty for a bit, relax and unwind with a bit of nature and some furry friends to replenish my spirit and my strength. I see more shopping ahead, but for now, a much needed break to enjoy some of my recent fantastic finds. May a little fairy dust brighten your shopping excursions in the days ahead!!!

Outfit: Jangka – Mya. 100% original mesh, & sized only for Maitreya & Legacy, Mya comes in 5 individual colors in a choice of two variations — solid colors vs print. Whichever you choose, the outfit consists of what I’ll call an enhanced bralette with big metal accents, an optional stole, a loincloth with a fabulous metal studded belt, & a legband. Matching armbands & boots are sold separately to complete the look. Brand-new, Mya is EXCLUSIVELY at the November round of We Love Roleplay, ending soon! Demo available. See the ad below for a full-length shot.
Skin & Eyes: Petrichor – Vyrian Galaxy Skin in Elldoris. Highly detailed, simply GORGEOUS marked skins featuring a “skin splash” & crystal sparkles for a totally different fantasy look. Available in 25 (!!!) colors in both female & male versions. Includes applier & BOM versions together with mesh Goliryn Eyes for a totally out-of-this-world look. Demos of all colors are at the main store.

Mother of Dragons

Posted on September 9, 2021September 18, 2021 by cejalaval

http://

No, I’m not trying to be Daenerys Targaryen, but let’s face it… she’s a pretty impressive role model. (Ok, she went a little crazy there at the end, but let’s just focus on the positive, shall we?). I see myself as more of a “Defender of Dragons”, allowing these magnificent creatures a small but private space of their own on my land to grow and flourish in peace. Once, many years ago in my previous lifetime, I had a circling dragon up above my land who nested at top of my waterfall, but he flew off to search for a new home and a new destiny during my long absence. Perhaps this little one will grow up to take his place, only time will tell. Or — as a flight of pure fantasy — perhaps he could be trained to search the grid for fabulous fashion fantasy finds (try saying that 5 times fast!!!)! Well, until that day, I’m on my own… but since I’m good at sharing, here’s what I’ve found! Happy shopping!

Outfit: Jangka – Elysium. 100% original mesh, & sized only for Maitreya & Legacy, Elysium consists of the dress, separate armbands, & two styles of boots (with/without stocking tops & garters), in 5 different color sets. As always, the styling & the detail is simply exceptional. Originally created as a gacha, this outfit is now at the main store. Demo available.
Dragon (Adult): Tylar’s Treasures – Hovering Dragon with Egg in Nest. The dragon not only hovers, flaps its wings, & breathes fire, you also can hear its roar & the sounds of flapping. 6-color texture menu for the dragon, & another 6 for the egg. EXCLUSIVELY at the Age of Avalon, open through the month of September. It’s only open once a year, so don’t miss out!
Dragon (Baby): Tylar’s Treasures – Animated Baby Dragon on Rock (includes plantings as well). Absolutely adorable! It even includes a touch menu to change the dragon’s color. Another EXCLUSIVE at the Age of Avalon !

Patrolling the Water Hole

Posted on July 11, 2021September 18, 2021 by cejalaval

I need to admit that sometimes lately I’m getting very confused about who I am. Once upon a time, my backstory was very solid, and I was very sure about my place, my role as it were, here on the grid. I dressed and acted to fit my role. But as I embarked on my life as a blogger, I started experimenting with more looks, more roles. There’s the pure fae, the princess, the goddess/priestess, the warrior… most with a medieval tonality but not all… I don’t just change my clothes or hair or whatever… I put together a “look”, creating a new story, and And it feels so very right… until it’s time to move on. There’s always some reluctance, a small tug of sadness when it’s time to take off a persona, fold it up and put it away on the shelf. But as that next new look takes form, almost every single time I once again get to exult in that feeling of “this is it… this is me!” I’ve come to realize that they’re all just facets of my hybrid fae/elven personality… but oh, my self-identity does teeter and totter. It’s not quite an identity crisis, but it does take a bit to reorient myself. Does some of the princess carry over into the warrior? And does the heart of the warrior beat under the royal finery? Yes to both… I’m a warrior princess, building my new backstory look by look… working out the intricacies of who I am, bit by bit. But even a somewhat confused warrior princess has patrol duty… with plenty of time to think! May the blessings of the fairies guide us both!!!!

Outfit: Jangka Design – Goddess. 100% original mesh, & sized only for Maitreya, the complete Goddess look consists of 3 separate parts — the “outfit” (with its fabulous cape!), the high heeled boots, & the armbands + armor, in 6 different color sets (only black or brown for the boots & the armbands) & in fatpacks. As always, the outfit features a whole range of embellishments, with the combination of exceptional detail & textures making the outfit totally look & feel the part. Originally at the Pandora event, Goddess is now available at the main store. Demo available.
Head & Ears: LOGO – Bella bento head. Also worn: Ilvanya Elf Ears, which fit seamlessly to my Bella head, & come with both their own AO & also their own customization HUD so you can change the skin color, tattoo & metals to match. A fabulously natural fantasy look! Demos available.

The Viking Way

Posted on May 22, 2021 by cejalaval

http://

Vikings… who knew they were so popular a culture here in Second Life? Maybe it’s something new, but in all my years fluttering around the grid, I’d never once stumbled onto it. Suddenly I’m seeing outfits, poses, complete avatars, decor & more. So I dressed the part and went exploring the Viking side of life… the list that came up in search was huge (although admittedly quite a bit of it was from the sexual underbelly of SL, but then that’s true of so many search terms). Instead I opted to visit the role-playing & themed communities, properly armed in case winged fantasy folk were unwelcome. As a side note, unless you’ve been here many many years, you may not have run across the “Humans Only” signs at music venues and clubs or been subjected to the taunts, or being shunned from some RPG communities for not exactly fitting their mold; before even my time began, furries — who used to be much more plentiful — were “hunted”. Although creativity still abounds (the recent Fantasy Faire is a prime example!), the world here and its residents used to be much more varied and interwoven… now it’s a much more segregated existence, with many of those who prefer what I’ll term “alt lifestyles” restricting those identities to the RPG areas. It’s kind of sad, really… the diversity added so much IMHO. Although pointed ears have become “a thing” of late, I do draw some strange reactions when mixing with large numbers of humans at stores or events or playing cards. Thankfully, I can’t hear the whispers! But back to the Vikings!!! In my short travels (and they were quite short), I only ran into one Viking… and he was quite polite, asking if I needed assistance when I was just standing there in various armed stances doing a photo shoot. But based on what I saw, it does seem to be a growing community with lots of options… definitely more to explore!!! And in your own explorations, may you be inspired with lightheartedness and laughter, and leave a little sparkle wherever you go!

Outfit: Jangka Design – Sigrid. NEW RELEASE, 100% original mesh, & sized for Maitreya & Legacy, the complete Sigrid look consists of 3 separate parts — the “outfit” (including the fur trim), the boots, & the armbands, in 5 different color sets (only 2 for the boots & the armbands) & in fatpacks. As always, the outfit features a whole range of embellishments, with the combination of exceptional detail & textures making the outfit totally look & feel the part. Sigrid is EXCLUSIVELY at the May We Love Role Play event for 25% OFF, open through the end of the month. Demo available.
Ears: LOGO – Ilvanya Fur Texture Pack. Featured in a closeup in my last post, which you can see HERE.
Skin & Makeup: Petrichor – Atharia, worn in Takara. Created in conjunction with []TRAP[], this is another amazingly detailed, gorgeously styled skin that is pure fantasy yet seemingly realistic. Featured in a closeup in my last post, which you can see HERE.

Preparing for Fantasy Faire 2021

Posted on April 22, 2021April 24, 2021 by cejalaval

http://

I guess you could say that I owe my life to Fantasy Faire. I had fallen into a deep dreamless slumber years ago according to the calendar in that strange world of real life. Then suddenly there were tendrils of consciousness leaking into the darkness, whispers about the Fantasy Faire, and blogging. I re-awoke to a new reality, one where I had been totally reborn and recreated afresh with a fantastic new look called mesh. And here it is a whole year later, happily blogging about fashion and home & garden in the world of SL fantasy, and now thrilled to the very tips of my wings that I am once again an official blogger for the Fantasy Faire.

A truly exceptional event that only happens once a year, the Fantasy Faire is the epitome of fantasy in Second Life. There are fabulous shopping finds and music events; it’s a Relay for Life event so the purchase of many many items goes towards the truly worthwhile cause of fighting cancer; there’s questing and parties and auctions and so much more. But to this fae, what makes the Fantasy Faire so truly exceptional is the faire itself, and by that I mean the regions. This year there are 21 regions (21!!! OMG!!!), 15 shopping regions plus 6 “special” ones. And one thing I can guarantee you is that all 21 are totally unique creations that offer their own individual experience. Each region has a different sponsor, and each and every one of them creates a totally unique theme for their region… the sheer creativity behind the design for each one is breathtaking! I’ve had the chance to quickly tour the lands before the official opening, and I have to say that my wings are exhausted from beating so much in joy and wonder as I flitted from region to region, just trying to take in a tiny bit of the dreams on display. I simply cannot wait to explore it all in greater detail, and I promise that this is just the first of many blogs to feature items available at the Faire, and many will also feature settings from the Faire as well (how could I possibly resist????). The Faire opens in just 4 more hours on the 22nd… this is an event that all can appreciate, fantasy folk and human… you can read all about it HERE.

Outfit: Jangka – Arwen. NEW RELEASE, 100% original mesh, & sized for Maitreya & Legacy, the complete Arwen look consists of 3 separate parts — the “clothing” (including the chain mail), the boots, & the half-gloves, in 5 different color sets (only 2 for the boots) & in fatpacks. The styling & attention to detail is exceptional as you can see in the closeup below (the sheen on the mail vest is amazing when the light hits it). This outfit is EXCLUSIVELY at the April Chronicles & Legends Event, April 10th – May 2nd. Demo available.
Head & Ears: LOGO – Bella bento head, introduced at the Skin Fair & now at the main store. Lots of new updates in this head! Also worn: Ilvanya Elf Ears, which fit seamlessly to my Bella head, & come with both their own AO & also their own customization HUD so you can change the tattoo & metals to match every outfit… love love love my ears! See the closeup below… demos available.
Horns: Eclectica – Metal Satyr Horns. Awesome, awesome, awesome Original Mesh; just see the closeup below. Copy, mod, unrigged so you can individually edit for adjustments (around your ears, hair, accessories, what have you). Touch to texture change between 9 metal options. These aren’t new per se; both the Metal Satyr & the Crystal Satyr Horns (also at the Faire!) are among my very favorite horns. They might be updated, but they are so phenomenal I really don’t know how they could be improved! On top of that, both sets of Satyr Horns are a Relay for Life option (proceeds go to the American Cancer Foundation!) at the Fantasy Faire 2021, opening later today April 22nd through May 9th). The Eclectica booth is in Yin Yang (direct slurl not available until the Faire opens, but you can find it HERE). Demo available. UPDATE: direct slurl to the Faire booth HERE.

A Secret Cave of Wonder

Posted on March 9, 2021 by cejalaval

http://

For a somewhat chatty person, today I find that I have absolutely nothing that I want to share. It’s that time of the month where I’m spending a lot of time unpacking blogger boxes, sorting, experimenting… it’s all a bit exhausting and confusing, especially when it’s divided between two different avatars. On top of more “work” here inworld, my real life has been a bit more tiring than usual as well, since my husband overdid the activity a bit and is gimping around the house (barely!). That means I’m now doing his share of the dog walks, taking over the cooking, and yesterday I chauffeured him around to urgent care centers, the pharmacy, etc. If I’m honest, though, the biggest source of my stress is that I’ve started my diet/fitness program, (NOOM!), and I think I’ve been overdoing it, not just physically but depriving myself of calories. I need to be smarter about it, or I won’t succeed, because as we all know, deprivation just doesn’t work and is definitely NOT the key to happiness! Sighs, I much prefer living in my fantasy world, where all I need to do is play with my sliders lol! Though I’m starting to consider I might need to go on a shopping diet inworld, but there’s just so many talented designers with absolutely marvelous creations… how can I resist temptation? And on that note, happy shopping!

Outfit: Jangka – Lisa. NEW RELEASE, 100% original mesh, & sized only for Maitreya, the complete Lisa outfit consists of 3 separate parts — the top/pants with all the belts (2 pants included with each outfit), the boots, & the gloves, in 5 different color sets (only 2 for the gloves). Fatpacks are also available. The styling & attention to detail is exceptional, as I’ve come to expect from this designer (not to mention that these boots are to die for!). This outfit is EXCLUSIVELY at the March We Love Role Play for 25% OFF, March 4th – 30th. Demo available.
Scene: Swank & Co. – Secret Island Cave Hideaway. I’m not sure if it’s my photographic abilities that are lacking, but I found it impossible to capture the magical beauty of this amazing cave. And it’s a true cave… a rocky dome with a hidden entrance that opens/closes at a simple touch. The door opens to wonder, because inside is a magical hideaway bursting with colorful flowers, trees, butterflies, a waterfall cascading into a sparkling pond on which floats a raft filled with animations; even the walls have a colorful hue… it’s absolutely gorgeous! See below for some additional shots. Available in Adult & PG versions, both are a 100% DONATION to Relay for Life in Region 8 of the Home & Garden Expo, HERE. Be sure to see the demo while the H&G Expo is open from Feb 27th – March 21st.
Head & Ears: LOGO – Chelsea bento head with Ilvanya Elf Ears. I can’t say enough about either this bento head or the amazing elf ears (sold separately, they don’t come with the head) that I use to style her for fantasy… Featured in yesterday’s post, which you can see HERE.
Eyes: Petrichor – Hylina Mer Eyes. One of the latest designs in Petrichor’s new line of fantasy eyes, the Hylina are one of my personal favorites. These amazing eyes are available for 25% off at The Warehouse Sale Event from February 23rd – March 18th. Featured in yesterday’s post, which you can see HERE.
Horns: Petrichor – Trinket Horns (Neutral Pack). I know it’s not like it would be in real life (hah! no kidding), but I’m one of those fantasy avatars who change my horns to fit my hair & outfit. These were my very first horns when I updated my avatar, & they are definitely among my most versatile. 100% custom design, these horns include 3 versions –plain, embellished with just ribbons, or with ribbons plus dangling trinkets, gemstones &/or skulls. Each version then has its own HUD to choose among all the color options. Unisex, moddable, & resizable, the Trinket Horns are available in 11 different color packs, or as a fatpack. What an awesome addition for any style-conscious horned avatar! Demo available at the mainstore. Featured in yesterday’s post, which you can see HERE.

Skin: Petrichor/Plastik – Styliste

Enchanted Fantasy

Posted on January 23, 2021January 23, 2021 by cejalaval

http://

Even after almost 14 years here in Second Life, I have to say that the creativity of SL designers continues to amaze and delight me. IMHO, it is most powerful when it comes to fantasy, where imagination comes into play as much as design sense, taste, and attention to detail. I’m thinking that this might be a large part of why I’m finding myself so drawn to the fantasy side of things these days. There are not as many designers, true, but there are definitely those that outdo themselves on ALL fronts. And I’m continually thrilled to be able to share just a few of my favorites as I continue to explore the worlds of imagination on display here on the grid…

Outfit: Jangka – Elysium. NEW RELEASE, 100% original mesh, & sized only for Maitreya & Legacy, Elysium consists of the dress, separate armbands, & two styles of boots (with/without stocking tops & garters), in 5 different color sets. As always, the styling & the detail is simply exceptional. This outfit is EXCLUSIVELY at the January We Love Role Play as a gacha for 75L/play, Jan 4th – 30th. Demo available.
Head & Ears: LOGO – Chelsea bento head with Ilvanya Elf Ears. I can’t say enough about either this bento head or the amazing elf ears that style her for fantasy… The ears come in two sizes with a HUD to customize chains, gems, & ear tattoos, but what still knocks me out is that they have their own AO.
Horns: Petrichor – Sanya Deco Horns. Beautifully shaped, HUD controlled with 80 horn colors, plus more for the metals, skulls, ribbons, gemstones, & more. Also unisex, 100% custom mesh, modifiable & resizable. Truly my favorite horns!
Scene: Enchanted Fantasy – Winter’s Tale Animated Horse. My poor fae heart has been stolen by a horse! I am totally enchanted by this horse, so beautifully styled with a looping animation that is just so natural! Available at the January Swank Event, open from January 7th – 30th. (In fact their booth is so amazing, I took this shot in their gorgeous fantasy display… other items you see here also on sale!)
