Fae with Blue-Eyed Wonder

As the real world out there grows in strife and the miasma of war, my world of fantasy is becoming even more precious.  It’s a haven to at least temporarily put those real life worries on the back shelf and distract myself with hugely important virtual decisions that really matter only to ME.  One of those critical choices is SKIN.  IRL you can only do much about the skin you’re in…  but here on the grid, there are so many choices, so many ways to be.  The Skin Fair is on, and that’s where many designers gather to show their latest.  Two sims full (and I DO mean full!!!), it can be overwhelming, to the point where (a) you give up and leave or (b) you only “hit” the huge brand names.  Both would be a shame, because this fair is an unparalleled opportunity to sample skins from the relatively smaller and/or newer skin designers to create that look which is truly your own.  For MY fae look, I LOVE Loa (which is why I became one of their bloggers!!!)… their skins just make my wings beat a bit faster.  Maybe they’ll do the same for you! Sprinkles a little fairy dust to help smooth your journey to the fair…

  • Skin:  Loa – Vega.  Just one of three BRAND NEW Loa skins for SKIN FAIR!!!  And all three are only for Lelutka EVO X heads.   You can see them all below; each is available in 7 skin tones, with each skin tone pack including 4 versions of the skin (regular, no brow, freckled, & no brow freckled), HD ears, cheek/eye/nose blushes (all of which are tintable!), shape + browfixer.  I’m wearing the no-brow version of Vega in the Tan tone with both the cheek & eye blushes (I tinted the eye blush just a wee bit blue), together with the matching body skin (body skins include 4 “textures” — shine, soft, matte, flat chest plus no nipple & stretch mark add-ons — & are available for Legacy, Belleza, Maitreya, Reborn & Inithium bodies).  Note that the provided shape for Vega is for the Avalon head, I’m using my own shape & a different Loa browfixer since Gaia is MY head, but you can see how Vega looks on Avalon in the pic below.   Demos available for all three skins so you can see for yourself on whatever EvoX head you have.  EXCLUSIVELY available at the Skin Fair, March 11th – 28th.  
  • Horns:  Petrichor – Farys Horns.  These stunning horns can be worn bare as shown here or with a full set of add-ons; they also include optional forehead deco (worn), 3 types of earrings (to be worn together or separately), & necklaces (I’m wearing the shortest of the three). 100% custom mesh & textures, with everything HUD controlled. I couldn’t even count how many texture options there are!

I don’t often do blog posts for weekend sales since my time for posting not a scheduled thing.  But every once in a while some special item just makes my wings beat faster, and I just feel that I have to drop everything, create a look, and share it with the world…  as you can see, this is one of those times!!!!   I LOVE LOVE LOVE this skin from Loa!  And it’s a real lesson too… she’s not made for my head, so yes, the look is a bit different (see the ad below) but it is GORGEOUS, really capturing my essence as a fae.   Not only that, she’s on special sale for THIS WEEKEND ONLY.  My suggestion is to do what I did… fly right over, grab a demo, and see how stunning she is for yourself!  Happy shopping!

Fae, Daughter of Athena

http://Fae, Daughter of Athena

As a fae-elven mix, my gods have always been those of the natural world and of my peoples (and yes, that is a plural due to the duality of my nature).  As I wander through other civilizations though, I’ve often wondered how I would choose which gods (or goddesses) would hold the keys to my heart.  Would it be the wisdom of Athena, the beauty of Aphrodite, or Artemis, the mistress of wild animals?  But as a visitor, I do not have to choose.  I find myself drawn to different elements in several, and depending on the situation, my mood, and so much more, I definitely experience momentary favorites.  What I do know is that there is definitely a very simple beauty to the Greek pantheon, where you know exactly to whom you should direct your prayers, depending on the needs of your heart.  Which does raise a question… who is the goddess of shopping?  I think I’ll go with wisdom, because there are so many wonderful creations available, I need to choose wisely!!!!   May the goddess guide your choices as well…

  • Gown:  Poet’s Heart – Ianthe.  A classic beauty of a gown, with a simple one shoulder strap cascading into a drape on the back, Greek “pattern” along the bottom hem, & double metallic Greek patterning at the hips & just above the waist.  Ianthe comes in four color packs or a fatpack of all 24 colors plus black & white.  Each color pack has a HUD to customize not just color, but also whether you want it as a gradient or solid!  She is sized only for Maitreya & Petite, though since she comes with an alpha she fit my Legacy body perfectly (with no deformers).   A small plus is that Poet’s Heart always supplies TWO alphas, one with & one without feet, the latter being especially useful since fantasy footwear can be so difficult to source, especially for Legacy.  EXCLUSIVELY at Enchantment, with the theme of the Iliad & the Odyssey, open Feb 12th – 28th.  Demo available.
  • Skin:  Loa – Vita.  BOM Skin for Lelutka EVO X heads. Available in 7 skintones, each pack including 4 versions of the skin (browless & freckled among them), HD ears, 3 blushes, & shape+browfixer for Avalon.  I’m wearing Opal with no brows, together with the matching body skin which comes with 4 “textures” (shine, soft, matte, flat chest) plus no nipple & stretch mark add-ons, but I’m using my own shape & a different Loa browfixer since I wear a different head. Featured as a closeup in my last post, which you can see HERE.  Demos available.  EXCLUSIVELY available at Enchantment, with the theme of the Iliad & the Odyssey, open Feb 12th – 28th.

Fae Lost in Thought

The ancient Greeks had a very definite idea of what constituted classic beauty, that in many ways has remained timeless.  Since my lifespan as a fae is so much longer than that of mere humans, I have lived through medieval times and classic antiquity.  I have been surprised by how enduring that Greek vision has been, not just in terms of personal looks, but in architecture and so much more.  The age of The Iliad and The Odyssey is celebrated and is on display that the current round of the Enchantment Event, featuring many exceptional exclusives plus a hunt!  It’s definitely a do not miss event!!!!  The link for all the details is HERE.  And don’t forget that more general fantasy & roleplay items are still at The Narrative Event… so much fantasy shopping, such amazing fun!!! What’s a fae to do?  Well, shop of course!  May your day be blessed by the gods!!!

May My Weapon Serve Me Well

http://May My Weapon Serve Me Well in the Coming Battle

I’m lucky.  It seems that I’ve been training and fighting ever since I can remember.  As an outsider, defensive skills were necessary if I was to survive, especially after the clan that took me in was defeated in battle while I was away on a hunting trip.  I don’t enjoy battle however.  I know that there are those glory in it; maybe it’s my fae instincts, but I see it as the very last resort, one that is sadly necessary all too often.  I recognize this this is the reason why I tend to take the role of guardian, because although I am tentative in attack, I will give my all in defense of the people, places, & things that I value.  But things happen, and I often am left relying on my own resources to successfully do my job of protect and defend.  My sensitivity to the world around me helps alert me when there is need; but if that need should arise, then it is my weapon and my skill wielding it that is the deciding factor in every battle.  This is why before every shift I watch, every patrol I take, any time I actively don my role, I give my thanks to the weapon and to those who have taught me the skills to protect the fantasy life I love. May my weapon serve me well in the coming battle!

Fae at Sunset

http://Fae at Sunset

It’s a new year, and as always, that brings reflection, and reflection brings change.  I’ve decided to expand upon those changes I’ve made in the past year, taking on more of the blogging life (I do love it so!) and releasing my human counterpart from some of her obligations.  Our sponsor lineup has therefore undergone some exciting shifts, with hopefully even more to come as new opportunities arise in the fantasy arena.  It’s just so much fun, and I simply adore that being a fantasy blogger lets me experiment not just with looks but with persona and character.  It’s like being inside a fairytale or an epic fantasy novel which makes me just beat my wings with joy!!!!  But a blogging fae is a busy fae, so I must spread what fairy dust and blessings I can, and fly off for my next adventure… Happy shopping!

  • Outfit:  Petrichor – Veridia.  Created in combination with ERSCH, Veridia is perfect for anyone who roleplays as forest elf, dryad, & so much more! To me, she totally captures the essence of being fae — soft, flowy, attuned to nature.  Not only can you choose to use or leave off any piece, but in addition to having a wide range of colors for every element, you also have the option to hide/show built-in pieces, like the leaves or the collar or the belt or the long skirt (opting for a short skirt instead).  Me, I love it all, & didn’t want to hide a thing! Sized for Legacy, Hourglass, Freya, Kupra, Lara, & Reborn.  Buy individual items or as an individual body fatpack.  Matching headdress, jewelry, staff, & arrows also available, EXCLUSIVELY at The Epiphany, open Dec 15th – Jan 12th.  Demo available.
