A tourist in Syrinx

Syrinx (3)

I went wandering again last night. While my husband read to my newly-returned kid, I went poking around Roleplay sims. A few of them in the destination guide lead to busted links (including one to some Bloodlines sims, I guess they’re momentarily down?). But one of them led to Syrinx, “a rustic Viking sim dedicated to providing an authentic Viking Village experience.”

Some people live here, which is neat, although it was empty when I went last night. Maybe they were all out picking up some rustic Viking outfits from the 1920s at Collabor88? I quite enjoyed finding the little nooks and crannies built into the sim. I like the phallic standing stones inscribed with runes, and the serious-looking deer lingering around the monuments. I liked the totally anachronistic pirate ship and cave on one side of the sim (I dunno, it’s SL), and I also adored the tiny rocky islands thick with evergreens.

My other favorite part was the blacksmith area, which also had a bear hyde tanning neatly beneath a few hungry-looking birds.

Go check out Syrinx! My avatar (with camera ready) is below in her new Katat0nik jumper, and a few more pictures of the sim are behind the cut.

I Love When The Feeds Are Beautiful

Collabor88 this month has caused a riot in the usual styling on the feeds. Classy, sleek lines and elegant chic are widely replacing some of the more questionable choices.  I have to say, it warms the heart. Continue reading

Love Donna Flora Ends In A Few Hours

As I was getting ready for an evening in, I realized I haven’t reminded you that LOVE DONNA FLORA ends and I mean within HOURS! There is still time to get amazing gorgeous items to help out our friend Squinternet as she battles cancer.

I’m wearing beautiful lingerie from Luxuria for the event, and sexy, girly bedroom slippers from SLink.  Perfect for sexy evenings in, like I have planned. My skin is also for the event from PXL Creations. It’s a gorgeous, femme look with soft features.  Continue reading

Every Day Waiting For You

An elegant throwback to a more refined and stylish time, this month’s COLLABOR88 celebrates the era of flappers and art deco, the time when men were men and women were dames.

I already said that, didn’t I?

Well it’s still true.

Except that only cheap women were dames and I’m a lady. Obviously. Continue reading

Shark Bait

Helena Stringer - IOF - Shark Bait

I was going to do this super complicated post with this dress, as I really loved the colours. I figured I could do all sorts of things. I can make a magical half dragon, half human princess who hoards jewels.

I went off and did my daily things, shopped a wee bit, got so many compliments on this simple styling, that I said, hey, why not just blog it this way, people seem to think it works. What probably threw me off was the normality of it.

If ever I do become a magical dragon/human half-breed jewel hoarding princess, I will let you know.

More Oubliette (2)

I made a mistake in my last post — I said my photos were of the sim Oubliette when actually they’re of the sister sim Ode, slightly up the hill and over the dells. Oops! To make up for it, I visited Oubliette properly today, and despite Saiyge’s big sign that says “O hai I’m tearing up the sim again,” it was still lovely, of course. Maybe especially so when it’s fraying around the edges, because rebuilding captures forgotten decay so well.

By the way! Miss Hybie of It’s Only Fashion actually runs a lovely travel blog called Avatars in Motion. If you like landscapes and poking curiously around the grid, go check out hers. It’s inspirational, truly!

Oh right, fashion. I’m also wearing a lovely new skin from Plastik, as well as ears to match and horns and face jewelry. I always love Aikea’s skins, and the colors of these are great (those violet tones especially, although I’m not wearing it today).

Something Supernatural

Helena Stringer - IOF - Supernatural - The Gang
One night on plurk I saw a post asking if anyone would like to do some crossdressing Supernatural cosplay, and I said sure why not. That is how I became Rufus, a wily grump haunted by his own horrid hunter’s past.

I choose this shot out of many simply because it was a different view than what some of the others took.

Giulia is Elegance Personified

aug05_002

 

The Giulia dress from Baistice for Love Donna Flora is elegance personified. Sissy Pessoa does such a fabulous job with making textures that hug the body and catch the light. She finds beauty and elegance in simplicity, stark and unembellished. I added gorgeous scarlet silk gloves from 5th & Oxford.
