Tattered Hopes

Every battle, every fight, every decision, every law, creates winners and losers.  And win or lose, there are the fallen, the lost.  And even when we celebrate the wins, we need to remember and honor those who didn’t make it to that point, including those on the other side.  There’s just so much pain and suffering and strife in our world today, and it seems that it’s getting worse… freedoms are disappearing, and the world is entering a darker place.  So I, for one, try to take some time to honor and remember, even in a fantasy world where we can create our own reality… Life is truly what we make of it…

  • Outfit:  Jangka Design – Kallista.  Awesome style & detailing (as always).  I especially love the little fur collar, the “chest chains”, & the big metallic medallion at the waist (see the ad below). The outfit is available in 5 individual colors plus a limited edition (the waist sash & hip bow change color; the rest stays the same); boots & armbands are available in black or brown.  The complete outfit is 100% full body original mesh, sized for Legacy & Maitreya.  Demo available. 
  • Hill:  Blue Blood – Shrine Hill.  A totally original landscaping item in Original Mesh.  Includes 3 ground options for the hill; all feature a menu-driven candle to turn on/off as well as the intensity of the glow. (See the ad below.) EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at Midsummer Enchantment, open through July 5th.  NOTE:  You can teleport up to the demo area to see the hill in its full size.

The humans are preparing to do WHAT?

https://The humans are preparing to do WHAT?

Sometimes I really wonder about the human race… how have they survived this long? They seem so hellbent on destroying everything — the environment, other species, even themselves… Some of us who live deep within the forests work tirelessly to protect our own and all the members and parts of our hidden worlds.  Our network of spies and operatives is extensive and often hidden just beyond human sight… all those strange things that sometimes happen without any seeming explanation but successfully foil what is laughingly called “progress” is our network operating ceaselessly to foil human plans and protect the realms… So the next time you hear of something that couldn’t POSSIBLY have happened, look closely, and you just might catch a glimpse of me or one of my compatriots…

  • Outfit:   Petrichor in collab w/ Ersch– Jainara.  A simple yet absolutely stunning bodysuit, complete with delicate metal body chains.  Sized for a whole range of bodies (see the ad below), Jainara is available in 10 single colors, in any of 5 HUDpacks based on fabric, or as a Megapack with all options included.  In the mainstore in the NEW RELEASES section (Jainara was released at Fantasy Faire 2025).  Demo available.

The Portal

I don’t think I will ever get used to the joy of being a fae here in SL…  PBR has thrown me quite a few loops, but the difference in colors and detail has me flying around OOHing and AAHing at the colors and the richness of detail, while admittedly sometimes groaning at the lighting, but as more and more free (or almost free) windlights become available, things have vastly improved!  Sadly though, tomorrow marks the end of this event which I have found myself wandering again and again, finding new treasures every time… Take a look for yourself, and enjoy!

Reflections

Even a fae reflects on things, we’re not just a “flighty” bunch who never think about life (and we make as many bad puns as you humans do!)…  RL has been tough of late, and it’s bled over into my fantasy world, no matter how much fairy dust I’ve sprinkled or how high I’ve flown, it has intruded day after day, even creating a nasty crash or two when the magic failed to keep me aloft (or even in SL for that matter).  That said, discovering the joys and tribulations of PBR (yes, I have a reflection! no, I can’t figure out how to fix the lighting!) has been somewhat distracting, though admittedly sometimes adding to stress levels rather than dissipating them. But as life has continued to prove out my mother’s favorite comment on EVERYTHING that everything that ever went wrong, “this too shall pass”…  and on that note, I’ve checked the mirror, ignored the snarky comments, approved the look, & I am off to explore!!!  Happy shopping!

  • Outfit:  Witch in a Box – Mystic Connection.  Cute one-shoulder cropped top & asymmetrical wrap skirt sized for Legacy, Reborn, Maitreya, Kupra, & Erika; includes a HUD with all 4 colors (see the ad below).  EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at Midsummer Enchantment.  You can TP directly to their event booth HERE.  Demo available (just touch the pic, & select DEMO from the menu).
