1 Fantastical Dreams sm

No matter what you choose to have as your focus in Second Life, it can turn out to be your Fantastical Dreams. That is what riannlyn (Rainny Darkfury) and her sister, Nikki Lacey, have done. They have created a picturesque fantasy-styled sim to showcase their very real creative talents.

The sim is great for photos, socialising and just having fun. In Rainny’s own words:

It’s a place you can always come, visit, cuddle, play games, hangout, if you are in the group. To get into the group is a join fee of 250L. This also gives you rez rights – just remember to clean up after yourself. To join the group, copy & paste this link into local chat in world: secondlife:///app/group/33aca8e7-c6e0-8576-3275-ab2a0451a21c/about . Or, there is a group joiner board at the entrance.

I visited today, and I was delighted. It is a lovely place, just screaming to be photographed. “Ground level” is a water-filled fantasy with loads of places to stop and rest, or cuddle if you are with your partner. There is a series of floating islands that includes an area for games, another with a lovely lake and yet another with a gigantic tree house. It has some familiar items, but what I love the most is there are lots and lots of new and unfamiliar quality items. For instance, you will probably recognise the tree tunnel from Studio Skye, but you may not have yet seen the bed from Cheeky Pea, which was just released a few days ago. In other words, it is not a carbon copy of other sims on the grid, with just the props rearranged. I have created a slide show below to tempt you with the beautiful and whimsical scenery.

If you have any questions, you can IM Rainny or Nikki in world. The joining fee is not expensive, but it is just enough to keep griefers at bay. And it is a small price to pay for your very own fantastical dream.

Kitten Heels

1 Kitten Heels sm

OK, so they’re really peep-toes, but my little friend inspired me to take license with naming this post.

These adorable heels are available at the Apple May Designs main store as a new release. While there is no time limit imposed to getting to the store to pick these up, why wait? You know you want them!

However, there is a time limit to get the Terrace Set and Decor Set from {what next} for only 50L for Fifty Linden Fridays: it’s today! The table set comes in three different colours and the decor set has options, too, so this is too good a deal to pass up.

You can feast your eyes on all of the other beautiful things, including my score of the rare complete Forgotten Corner from Apt B at Shiny Shabby and my beautiful hairstyle from .Lelutka. for Hair Fair 2016, but don’t linger too long; slip on your kitten heels and start shopping!

Pure

1 Pure sm

White is the colour associated with purity. But to me, it is pink. The pink of the palest lips, the pink that adorns a baby girl, the pink of a puppy’s paw pads. It finds its roots in the deepest red – the colour of passion – yet its subtly is the epitome of innocence and propriety.

I revel in the purity of all that is pinkness.
