Take back the life that they stole

With a heart that always fails
My love's gone off all the rails
Like a ship without a sail
Sinking underneath the wave 

It's sleepy time, so, very quickly - the Persephone mesh tank top and jacket combo are a new release from The.Plastik and it looks like a really useful wardrobe addition. Trying the jacket as modesty cover-up with some gowns is on my to-do list for sure.

The scary shoulder-pads are from We<3RP, and they come from ieQED, formerly known as Handwerk.

Also featured in the pictures - the new Elven shield and not-so-new Izo katana from EZ Weaponry, and the perennially popular Boadicea's Bracelets and Boadicea's Belt from The Forge.

Oh and I can't forget the boots! They're at C88 and I have a pair almost completely like them in RL so I couldn't resist. They're from Beetlebones and a complete steal at 88L.

As always, more pics after the jump!

The Veritas corsets from The.Plastik

The Veritas corsets are a recent release from The.Plastik, and the unusual thing about them is... they're on clothing layers! (Meaning it's ridiculously easy to mix them in with other pieces, especially mesh. )

Crayon Colour Challenge: Week 15, Licorice

Licorice

Licorice

This colour wasn't too hard to match, in fact I found I had tons of things that would match... and somehow ended up becoming a cowgirl (I think it might have been the hat). I had a harder time finding a photo location. Most of the Western-themed sims  tried seemed to be inaccessible (maybe group only), uninspiring, or very strict on Victorian era clothing.

Full credits after the jump, but I wanted to mention the skin which is brand new from Aeva (formerly Heartsick). Creator Amesha Jewell is having a hard time at the moment as her computer is giving up the ghost, but she managed to release four new skins.

Free stuff! Mini-mania prizes at Vigo

Vigo - Lyanna in raven

If you've got some time to kill, you could do worse than check out the mini-mania boards at Vigo, where there are some great black-themed outfits to be won. (I like to think of all that black as anti-Valentines.)

You might need to be persistent though; I found the prize I really wanted elusive. Luckily, my free alt scored it! On the boards are a medieval gown; slave outfit/lingerie set; and men's assassin or rogue outfit.

Half price sale at ViGo

Roleplay outfitters ViGo are celebrating their fifth anniversary (congratulations!) so until 5 January "almost everything" in the store is 50% off. I did check a bunch of outfits though, including new releases, and couldn't see any not reduced...

ViGo - Fable in silver

Beltane Fair - 30L items

This weekend is your last chance to hit the Beltane Festival for bargains and hunt prizes. There are some fun 30L items out, pics and details below.

For starters, I'm a bit in love with these firesticks. Not only can you use them for dancing, but just think of the roleplay possibilities.

There could be a tragic silks-go-up-in-flames incident while you're dancing, necessitating a trip to the infirmary, you could 'accidentally' singe another girl's hair right off (phew! what a stink!), or OMGAH you've just burnt down the stables. These firesticks might cost 30L, but really they're priceless.

Firesticks - 30L from Una
Chain Silk - 30L from PA Designe

Free outfit - Aliana robes of concealment on Vigo lucky chair

I finally managed to win something on the lucky chairs at Vigo :)

It's a Gorean free woman outfit, a set of robes with concealment. (Naturally, you can wear for other medieval roleplay.)

Free silks, gown/dress and panther outfit - Mini Mania at Vigo

Some great Mini Mania boards at Vigo - with prizes for slave, free woman, and panther. So with a little persistence and a few repeat visits, you could bag yourself a nice haul.

There's also a male outfit, but that's beyond the scope of this blog (meaning: I'm too lazy to sort out a male avie!)

First up are the very pretty and extremely sheer Courtesan silks.
