Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

The Phoenix Fae

March 18, 2025

A peek into the deep woods, where strange things grow and all manner of curious creatures make their home. Lithe and beautiful, appearing as if garbed in living flame, the phoenix fae is elusive and mischievous. You may be tempted to follow her deeper into the woods, but proceed with caution. Not all is as it seems, and most certainly do not eat the glowing mushrooms.

The Phoenix Corset is a cool design by Starlight Designs, featuring animated flames that seem to envelop your body. Looks particularly fabulous in the dark! And that is of course also true for the Faelight Fungi by Birth, a set which includes different mushroom clusters, some strange glowing flowers and one huge mushroom with little frogs on. It really does look like bioluminiscence. You’ll find the corset and the mushrooms at the current round of We Love Role-Play.

Also from We Love Role-Play is the latest ear release from Illusions, the Elfin Ears, long and slender and very fae. My skin is one of the new tones for alaskametro’s Esme skin, released at the Skin Fair, and I am using it with the 2025 body update.

Art Show

March 13, 2025

The latest releases from Fanatik all revolve around the gorgeous Nautilus build, a large Art Deco space which makes glorious use of PBR textures. To furnishing this build, Fanatik has also released a set of props, a set of displays and a set of frames. I have used just some of these pieces to setup this scene, but there is plenty more, including some lovely counters for creating different spaces within the build. This could definitely function as a very unique store build, especially given the matching displays and frames, but there are many other options for it too.

The lounger is from DICTATORSHOP, the Ladies’ Chaise in Adult Vanilla from the classically elegant Heritage series. It has over 300 animations and a ranger of options for leather, wood and metals. The single sits and lays include some very useful animations for photography.

I am still wearing the new Nar Mattaru skin and showing quite a bit of it in this body suit from Petrichor & Ersch. I felt like the design blended well with the Art Deco theme and I coloured it up in green and copper, but you have so many options to choose from. The hair is once again Wasabi, now a very sexy shorter style with just the right amount of wisps around the face.

The Marquise’s Pet

March 11, 2025

The Kayra outfit from Ruxy is quite deliciously daring and would be an excellent choice for a dancer or slave girl, or perhaps in a harem. Here, I set up the revamped Marquise armchair from Libertine in Fanatik’s Dungan castle, which comes with the fireplace in the background. The Marquise chair comes in Mature and Adult versions and includes quite a few solo poses as well. It is also texture change, offering Libertine’s usual range of colours.

Adding a touch of mystery is the ornate face mask from Nefekalum, which includes both left and right halves. I liked the way it looks with the long and luscious Everleigh hair, which is a new Truth Collective style from Truth and Wasabi.

Kitchen Chores

February 20, 2025

It was a chilly morning, the hard floor cold under her feet. She had slipped into a borrowed tunic, too large for her even with a belt wrapped twice around her waist, and gone to the kitchens to stoke the fire.

Constraint’s “Boyfriend Tunic” is a really fun role-play oriented take on the “Boyfriend Shirt”, complete with a too large belt as well. I opted for some rustic colours from the texture hud, to fit in with the medieval-inspired stove and oven from Angelicus. It offers a selection of role-play animations, such as stoking the fire, stirring the stew and sweeping the floor.

My hair is Wasabi’s Gale style, which was a Happy Weekend release for the past weekend. A long, sleek style which covers part of the face in a very seductive way.
