On The Edge Of Forever

Image PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

I think it’s wonderful to find accessories designed for the Water Horse Riding Horse at mainstream events. Jinx has once again done this at The Liaison Collaborative. This time it is a side saddle and a dress that works with it. The top is an Omega applier and the skirt is pretty much one-size-fits all and comes with a colour-change HUD. You will need to alpha out your legs and possibly your pelvis (like I did), but it makes for a lovely ensemble. Best of all, the saddle comes with versions for both the Warmblood (English) and Quarter Horse (Western). Since there are a lot more accessories for the Quarter Horse available, this is very welcome news for us Warmblood owners!

Also good to know for Water Horse owners is that Calas Galadhon Park has riding trails set up all throughout the sims. There is a particularly long coastal trail that covers the full perimeter of the park. And for those of you who don’t own a horse, they have rezzers in some of the sims, including double riders so you can enjoy the park with your loved one or friend. Do remember that these sims are maintained for our use by two individuals, so if you are able, please leave a donation to assist with the upkeep at one of the several donation stations set up throughout the park.

When riding along the trails, there are lots of places to stop and enjoy the scenery. I just happened to do it here, on the edge of forever.

I wasn’t even afraid to look down.

Secrets Into The Wind

Image PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

I did a bit of wandering yesterday in Second Life. I visited several sims and took photos at them all. Some will make it into my blog; others will probably just sit in a folder until one day I reopen it to see what I have seen. I love immersing myself in others creativity and while I do that on a regular basis with fashion and the occasional H&G post, I am usually most inspired when I do a bit of traveling.

When I land on a destination sim, I always start with the region Windlight setting. I want to understand the mood the creator tries to convey. I also make sure I have my stream running to soak up the sounds that accompany the landscape. And then I roam, just looking for a while, and usually end up taking pictures. When I do this, I try to create a story with the images that I share.

I felt a bit whimsical in the outfit I chose and that suited de*cid*u*ous, a pastoral location. It seemed a good place to whisper a few secrets and allow them to dance in the wind.

And at one point, I do believe it whispered back.

Autumn Comes

Image PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

While I have been doing the credits for this post, the hour has grown later on Friday in Second Life. My apologies, but that means you have just a short while to get to the {what next} main store to pick up one of two autumn-themed boxes. One contains various versions of the lovely wreath I am displaying. The other holds decorative mini trees, leaves and welcome mats. Winter Thorn does autumn beautifully, so do go check out these fabulous bargains.

Speaking of bargains, Kean Kelly of [ keke ] has released recolours of one of my very favourite items ever: the rainy day table lamp. This weekend only, they are available at the main store for only 50L. I am showing the orange, but it also comes in black, white and purpur (a gorgeous pinkish-purple). At that price, there is no reason not to get all four! While you are there, go ahead and browse. Her store is one of those where you walk in to buy one thing and come out with your partner’s arms full, a U-Haul filled and your wallet happily empty.

However, you may want to hang onto a few Lindens for Shiny Shabby, which opens on September 20. There you will find [ keke ]’s Nirvana set. The complete set contains 34 pieces of wonder. From chairs to poufs, to decorative cards to incense, you will have to have them all. I’ll be showing you more of this set in the next few days, but trust me – you will waiting in anticipation for the event to open.

And then there is The Liaison Collaborative which remains open until September 30th. I am featuring a variety of gacha prizes from Serenity Style, Bee Designs and [Black Tulip] plus the gorgeous desk from [ zerkalo ], all from this round of TLC. While there are still a couple of weeks before the event closes, your best bet is to go now so you don’t forget!

Finally, the September round of Luxe Box released earlier today, and as always, it is full of stunning items. I love the fashion, but to me the real stars are the Kaelyn Pleiades Cabin from Scarlet Creative and the evelyn daybed from tarte.. Put everything together and you have the perfect, cozy cabin, ready for when autumn comes.
