Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Dancing Djinn

February 18, 2025

It is dangerous to venture into the desert at sunset. Deep within the djinn reside and the unwary traveller may fall under their spell, as they can assume forms that are very fair to look upon.

Siyu Suen of Illusions is a new (and very welcome!) addition to the We Love Role-Play designer lineup. Her first release for the event is a set of Drow ears in the series that already includes Sprite and Sylph ears. I meant to wear the Drow ones, but after trying my way through the different sets, I ended up doing the photos with the Sprite ears instead. Yes, I can be a little ditzy at times. The Drow ear is a much longer ear, tapering to an elegant point, and it is available at WLRP at 20% off and in regular and two gauged versions.

The Ariadne outfit by Aurora seemed like it would suit a djinn very well, with its silk drapery, precious metals and jewels as well as a distinct “Harem” aesthetic.

Frontier Town

May 18, 2024

In the midday heat, the dusty frontier town lay quiet. A horse rested at the watering trough outside the saloon, lazily swishing at flies with its tail. A pretty redhead leaned against one of the posts, idly watching it.

Welcome to HopScotch’s Frontier in a box, a wild west backdrop with all the essential buildings for a classic western town that you can configure as you like. You can find this set at the current round of We Love Role-Play, available as individual pieces or as a fatpack, with a 25% discount during the event.

The gorgeous green dress I am wearing is another WLRP release, this one from Miel. It is for eBody Reborn but I am wearing it on Lara X which works well with alphas. Since this is a Birthday Round for WLRP, the creators have gifts out and Miel actually has one colour of this lovely gown as a gift. The hair is Retreat from Stealthic, a longer style with pretty waves.

Fantasy Faire 2024: Enter the Fairy Tale

April 18, 2024

Ladies and Lords, mermaids and mermen, fairies and goblins and all other creatures, the time has come again. Tonight, the Fairelands become accessible and Fantasy Faire 2024 begins and stays open until May 5th. Prepare to explore, shop and be entertained across 20 unique Fairelands, all in the name of raising money for the Relay for Life and the American Cancer Society.

I’ve begun my journey to the Fairelands on my own sim, but thanks to HopScotch I have found a way to enter the Fairy Tale from here. I invite you all to follow along as soon as the mists recede fully and welcome everyone to the Fairelands. A few glimpses of what will be on offer from the fantastic creators taking part can also be seen here; a stunning gown fit for a Fairy queen by Les Encantades and jewellery to match by Drunken Brokkr. A pose from Uzme and fields of gorgeous flowers by MB.

Sword Dancer

June 24, 2023

With Ryo, the latest NextUp release from deviousMind, you too can become an exotic sword dancer, wearing silk and jewellery and both enticing and intimidating with your skills. This set paired beautifully with an old pose set from HopScotch called Dancing Blades as well as with a brand new hairstyle from Navy and Copper for the Hair Fair. This gorgeous braid can be worn over either shoulder or down the back and the accessory and be hidden for a less ostentatious appearance. But for this, the jewellery was the perfect touch.

Hair Fair runs until July 2nd and as usual the event benefits Wigs for Kids, with all styles sold at the Fair donating a percentage of the sale price. Many sellers also offer lovely gifts, so make sure you browse all the booths on the six sims.
