Les baguettes

Posted on by admin

https://Les baguettes

When I first tried on this amazing outfit with this particular hair (both being at the same event), I was immediately hit with a strong sense of French style.  I even went so far as to dress my partner in what I consider French style, and greeted his rez-in with a “bon soir”…  for my blog shot, I envisioned strolling down a French boulevard or through a French market, baguettes in my arms, perhaps the Eiffel Tower in the background; just something very undeniably French, perhaps with a title along the lines of Je m’appelle Ceja Laval.  But SL was against me (not that unusual lol); I could get the baguettes, but not the French setting.  This, then, is where I netted out… and I do have to say, it may not be Paris, but the bread alone makes it French in spirit! Ooh la la!  😉

  • Outfit:  Carol’s Store – Neve Dress & Leather Jacket.   What a perfect look for when it’s turning colder but not yet freezing, or (which is more likely given the icicles) when there’s that warm thawing day right after a snowy cold snap!  Sold separately, each piece is available in 14 single colors (which include a HUD to change the button/fur colors), as a fatpack with a color-picker included in its HUD so you can customize/tweak colors to your taste (which I did), or as a megapack with all options included.

Come on now, don’t be shy

https://Come on now, don't be shy

The wonder of playing fantasy in SL rarely fails to amaze me… it’s not just the clothes (though admittedly clothes like this are so exceptional, they definitely play a big part!) … it’s not just the wings (though again, that’s a large part of WHY I play as fae!)… it’s the mental side of the totally different characters I create.  Although I also love being human, and creating a variety of looks/attitudes/situations, it’s just not at the same level as the creative process of BEING a fantasy character.  Maybe I make too much of it, but creating and getting into character is just so much larger… a bit like an actor getting into her role though obviously not to the same depth or intensity…. But it definitely is addictive!!!  Enjoy! and don’t be shy about saying hello if I run into you when I’m flitting out and about!

  • Outfit:   Petrichor in collab w/ Ersch– Saneira.  I can never say enough about a P+E collaboration, & this one is no exception… just another stunning fantasy look.  Includes the dress & harness, in both long & short versions.  Sized for a whole range of bodies (see the ad below),  Saneira is available in 10 single colors, in any of 4 HUD-controlled 40-texture packs based on fabric, or as a Megapack with all options included.  AVAILABLE at the mainstore.  Demo available.

Um, hello?

Posted on by admin

https://Um, hello?

So one thing I’ve noticed over the years as I’ve gotten older… it can be a LOT harder to get service in bars and places like that.  When you’re in your 20s and 30s, especially if you’re attractive, bartenders and maitre d’s JUMP to help you.  As you age, you become more invisible.  One place in particular – the Spice Market in NYC – really stands out in my mind; it was so frustrating we actually walked out rather than have a drink and then dinner.  No way were we going to give them our hard-earned money when they ignored us.  That said, if I looked like this, wearing an outfit like this, I doubt that would happen, but then again, I’m overly dressed for some SL venues lol!  Anyway, I LOVE this look, and doubt I’ll be ignored anywhere I go!  I hope you like it as much as I do! Enjoy!

  • Outfit:  PURPLEMOON – Kendal.  What a stunning little outfit!  Is it the wide leather cinch belt (it’s really a corset)? the unbuttoned shirt?  the “panels” on the skirt?  No matter, it’s a winning combination!  And the textures just kick it over the top!  Me, I always go for the stripes, but this time, I was awfully tempted to go with a solid (see the ad below and you’ll see why).  There are 11 different combos to choose from, or a megapack that has them all.  Sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky, Maitreya+Petite+LaraX+PetiteX, & GenX Classic+Curvy, Kendal is EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at the current round of Designer Showcase, open Nov 5th – 20th.  Demo available (just click on the big pic).

A roadside break…

Posted on by admin

https://A roadside break

Love this look, but this outfit pulled me in two very different ways… first, I leant towards “redefining biker babe style”.  But then I did a whole shoot that just wasn’t sitting right, and then the overall look I’d done evoked in me the feeling of driving long winding roads.  When I started playing with poses, this idea grabbed me and made me feel very European (maybe it’s the cigarette??) while also invoking a simpler time (the hairdo is very 50s I think, but before my time lol).  So in my mind, here I am, feeling very European driving along the coast in Southern Italy.  I can’t pinpoint WHY all of this is playing in my mind, but honestly, who cares? I felt great, thought I looked great, and had a great time cruising around some winding roads in my roadster with my little dog for company till I pulled off for a little roadside break… Whatever makes you happy, right? Now for some shopping happiness, lol…

Happiness is a successful book hunt!

Posted on by admin

https://Happiness is a successful book hunt!

I’m a reader, and I definitely read a lot, generally speaking at least one book a week (this year I’ve already read 62 books, though that admittedly includes some titles I abandoned part-way through).  A bookstore — especially a 2nd hand bookstore! — is one of my happy places, especially when I find a book that’s been on my wishlist for years that for which I haven’t been willing to pay full-price (which is most books lol). That thrill of a successful book hunt is quite heady, and if I’m lucky, the title in question lives up to it.  But even if it doesn’t and ends up abandoned, that high of discovery remains! Happy shopping, whatever you seek!

Bewitching…

Posted on by admin

https://Bewitching...

Having a fae alt, the idea of dressing up for Halloween just doesn’t do that much for me. Interestingly enough, that’s how Thea got her start… I dressed up as a fairy for Halloween (my partner Durzle as an elf) for a long-ago Halloween, and I loved having wings so much that I created a whole other identity.  That said, when you’re out dancing for your Friday date night and it happens to be Halloween — so the majority of people are in costume and the music is almost exclusivity Halloween themed — you have to at least give a nod to the holiday.  THIS then, is my nod to Halloween… and my partner found it to be utterly bewitching!!!  I’ll just put the witch hat away till next year, but the dress, well that is going to stay front and center in my closet!

  • Outfit:  Allure Couture – Nyxxie Dress.  Such a different shape, with the pointy tops on the “corset”, the poofy upper arms, the stockings & shoes… all of which I didn’t think I’d like but I felt so awesome wearing it!  And the witch hat, such an amazing shape with the curly tip & the color edging & ribbon… felt so cool!!! Available in 8 single 100% Original Textures or in a HUD-driven Fatpack with 12 mix ‘n match options for the dress, c-string, heels & stockings.  There’s also a separate HUD for the ribbon & trim on the awesome witch hat.  Nyxxie is sized for Reborn+Waifus, Legacy+Bombshell+Perky, Maitreya+Petite+LaraX+PetiteX, Erika & Kupra.  Demo available.

Dancing in the Flames

https://Dancing in the Flames

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my life (and hopefully I’ve learned more than this one thing lol) is that sometimes it all burns down (either intentionally or not) and you have two choices… either sit there and lament, or dance in the flames.  And sometimes, it’s just good to feel the heat… A bit too philosophical for me today, but that’s the mood I’m in lol! Enjoy!

  • Outfit:  COVETED! – Zahra Purple.  A complete look, perfect for the holiday & — if you’re into the dark side of fantasy — for everyday role-playing.  Includes the top, skirt, & sleeves, all with small gold spikes, plus the horns, animated wings, claws, & animated tail (complete with HUD to control the animation).  See the ad below for greater detail.

Finding the Perfect Pumpkin

Posted on by admin

https://Finding the perfect pumpkin

Fall is officially here, even in Florida!  It never truly feels fall-like to me here because we don’t get that brilliant change of color in the trees or that crunch of leaves underfoot, but I am having to wear a sweater and long pants when walking the dog at night.  Thankfully I can still experience all of that (well, not the crunchy leaves but then I’m comfy inside at my desk lol) here on the grid…  And as soon as we find that perfect pumpkin, the carving will begin!!!  Happy fall and happy shopping!

  • Outfit:  Carol’s Store – Aster Sweater.   A perfect knit top for that newly fall weather with its nip of chillier air!  Love the knit texture on this cropped sweater with its mock turtle neck & loosed almost-puffy sleeves.  Available in 10 single colors, or as a fatpack with a color-picker included in its HUD so you can customize colors to create something totally unique (which I did). ORIGINAL MESH with materials enabled, Aster is sized for Reborn+Waifu, Legacy+Perky+Bombshell, Lara+LaraX+PetiteX, Kupra, Erika, Momma, & Nhuma.  (See the ad below) EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE at the current round of Dubai, open Oct 20th – Nov 15th.  Demo available.

Goddess of Darkness

Posted on by admin

https://Goddess of Darkness

I’m not really a dark fae, I lean much more towards the side of light and nature.  But I definitely have my moments!!!  Then again, as a “true” fae, someone who lives this role almost every single day, I’m not a real fan of Halloween.  All these humans donning all these kitschy costumes and are all just so cute in their little pretend fantasies.  But THIS outfit, THIS is true fantasy.  This is not a costume, this is a full character, one who could easily live year-round, going around spreading her lovely darkness.  LOVE IT! This is what fantasy is all about… whether for full-time role-playing or for Halloween.  Check it out yourself at this round of Enchanted Realms (lots of other goodies too)!

  • Outfit:  V8 Underground – Goddess of Darkness.  WOW.  I mean, just WOW.  Everything, & I mean EVERYTHING is included in this look… the bodysuit, the corset, the opera gloves, the thigh-high boots, the collar, the shoulders, skull accessories, the magnificent helm complete with horns, even the hair, & then there are the incredible animesh wings, the animesh tail (I’ve never had a tail before, it’s awesome lol), & then of course the amazing Darkness Weapon (see the ad below).  Amazing, simply amazing! Sized for Legacy+Perky, Reborn, Maitreya+LaraX, Kupra, & Erica, she is available at the current round of Enchanted Realms, open through Nov 1st.  Demo available.
