If Only…

https://If Only...

I wish, I wish, I wish… how many times do we all say that to ourselves?  There are countless fairy tales about it, all with the lesson behind it that you should be careful what you wish for.  I’m a fae, I should listen.  And still…

Well, right now at this very moment, I’m wishing that everything is resolved with this blog so that I can once again concentrate on living my fae dreams in my fantasy fae world… I’m starting to look for a new home (so happy! Ceja is giving me her tier allowance!!!)  I wish… I mean I hope… I mean I PLAN to find exactly what I’m picturing in my mind’s eye… and then have all the fun creating it!  May all our wishes come true (as long as they’re good safe wishes, that is lol)…

  • Outfit:   Petrichor in collab w/ Ersch– Celesia.  I can always recognize a P+E collaboration, & with good reason… they’re always stunning, always a gorgeous fantasy look, always exuding sexiness (sometimes a bit too much for this fae lol!)  Not quite sure how to describe this particular magnificent fashion creation, you’ll just have to look for yourself; I’ll just say that the skirt can be worn short or long, & that it’s sized for a whole range of bodies (see the ad below).  Celesia is available in 10 single colors, in any of 4 HUD-controlled 40-texture packs based on fabric (I chose silk), all of which include options for the metals as well as turn on/off for all elements, or as a Megapack with all options included.  AVAILABLE at the mainstore.  Demo available.

Ahhh, those were the days my friend…

https://Ahhh, those were the days my friend...

This may very well be my last post for the summer… the heat down here has simply fried my brain, and we just can’t take it anymore.  So we’re heading north for a bit (not that it’s been any cooler up there, but at least it will be a DIFFERENT heat, in a woodsy hilly environment (and then a city one) rather than this flat land of palm trees and limited shade.  If you can’t take the heat, and all that, so we’re off! You may still see me before we leave, but if not, see you in September!

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…

Out of the sea, wish I could be, part of that world…

https://Out of the sea, wish I could be, part of that world...

I guess it’s just nature to always want what’s out of reach.  People take their lives in their hands to explore the depths of the ocean; and I’m sure those below (yes, I’m saying “those below” lol) yearn to explore the land.  The grass is always greener and all that…  Be that as it may, I do love putting on my fins and being a mermaid in SL, finding and exploring underwater gems that others have created.  It’s a whole new world down there, and it’s so much fun to design a totally different kind of fantasy look.  To me, this set of skins is perfect for merwear, but it works for all kinds of fantastical creatures…

  • Skin:   Petrichor– Varanai, worn in Veluika.  Co-designed with TRAP, this skin series for both male & female avatars was a NEW RELEASE at Fantasy Faire 2025.  Featuring 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 (I used “vibrant”)…  Demo available for all skin tones.

It’s truly a wondrous world, where everyone is equal

https://It's truly a wondrous world, where everyone is equal

Equality.  What a loaded word these days.  Sometimes I wonder if it’s truly a fantasy, that everyone starts off on an equal playing field, where only the best minds, best athletes, best artists, best of ANYTHING can rise and excel in their own field, gaining influence but NOT control.  Whether it’s true or not, intentional or not, to me that is part of the essence of Steampunk… where even fae and other non-human species enjoy the same freedom and equality as everyone else.  Perhaps it’s only a dream, but for me at least, it’s a GOOD dream…

Dancing at the Magic of Dawn

https://Dawn of the Magic of Dance

It’s rare that I’m forced to do two posts a day, but that’s what happens when a 4-book fantasy series grabs you and won’t let you put it down AND the Superbowl happens when you need to do your posts.  That said, I’m dancing as fast as I can…

Am I Blue?

https://Am I Blue?

Freezing my bones, even here in Florida where we are not really built to accommodate this kind of weather.  As a former NY-er (not that you ever actually STOP being a NY-er when you’re born and bred there).  But even dog walking has become a challenge (the dog doesn’t want to go out either lol), and it’s hard to do outdoor activities like golf wearing umpteen clothing layers with freezing cold hands.  Although I’m generally happy being a homebody, that includes being able to sit outside on my lanai and read my book, etc…. and THAT is definitely NOT in the cards at the moment.  And SL has been frustrating me of late, some health issues are raising their ugly heads (nothing serious, thankfully), the holidays are over and absolutely nothing is on the horizon, so yes, blue seems to be the color of the moment.  Light blue, but still blue… Hmmm, might be time for some post-holiday shopping therapy…  perhaps I’ll see you there?

  • Outfit:  Petrichor Ersch– Dahlie.  Another fabulous addition to the Ersch Collab Collection, this silky dress sports a soft fur top lining & delicate little bows with a tiny dash of seasonal cheer that can last all season long.  She can be worn either short or long, & as always, all elements have individual HUD controls to change color or turn on/off hide options.  Choose from 10 single colors, one or more of the 4 fabric packs containing 40-color HUDs, or the MegaPack so you don’t have to choose!  Dahlie is sized for Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, LaraX+XPetite, GenX Classic/Curvy, Kupra, & Reborn+Mounds+Waifu, & is EXCLUSIVELY available at the current round of the Kinky Event, open through Jan 23rd.  Demo available.

The holidays can be a lonely time for those who are different or alone…

https://The holidays can be a lonely time for those who are different or alone...

Holiday time is definitely here… everyone is so happy, putting up decorations, singing songs (that music is EVERYWHERE), searching for what gifts to give, and the parties, OMG they never stop.  I DO appreciate it all, it IS fun, I participate, but it can sometimes just be so overwhelming.  Rarely does anyone ever stop and think, even for just a single moment, that for some of us it’s not OUR holiday, these are not OUR traditions.  All that happiness and joy does bring up a bit of an outsider feeling, and I just miss my home planet and OUR traditions all the more.  The human holidays can be such a  lonely time for those who are different, or alone, or just struggling in some way.  I need to remember that I’m not the only one feeling “outside”, and look for others so that we can all lend understanding and support to each other while continuing to join in all the festivities.  It won’t be long before the garlands are down, and the music reverts, and life can just go back to normal.  But oh, the shopping will also revert, and holiday shopping is definitely the best! Now there’s a pick-me-up!!!!
