I'd let you win my heart again

Luminary recently sent out the teasers for their offerings at the upcoming Fantasy Gacha Carnival event, which opens on 1 February.

This round is themed 'Winter Wonderland', and Augurer explained that she was inspired by Shakespeare's 'The Winter's Tale', the story of an insanely jealous king who believes his queen to be unfaithful, and so condemns her and their infant daughter. (At the end of the play, both mother and daughter and restored to their rightful positions.) There is a theory that this play was inspired King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, while the princess represents Elizabeth I, Shakespeare's great patroness.

The initial necklace is the common from the gacha and is inspired by famous portrait of Anne Boleyn. You'll probably need to get a few friends together for a swapping party to make sure you get your letter! The crown is the rare item, and there are three different colours if you want to chase them all down.

We Love Role-Play reminder

Another event reminder - We Love Role-Play round 7 is in its final days (fret not, the new round opens on 4 December, and as it's the holiday season there might be some nice surprises...).

Chimeric Fashions (who are new to event as far as I know) have three beautiful masks as their offering. I took the ornate Gatto mask to the obvious location - Vexexia!

The dress is by The Library, bracers and tiara are from GSpot (now rebranding to Enfant Terrible). The necklace, meanwhile, is also a tiara - but copied, reattached and edited to be a necklace. I think it works quite well! It's from Epoque.

Crayon Colour Challenge: Week 45, Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz

Rose Quartz

Another late night, anoher quick post!

The outfit in this picture I picked up just about a week ago, when this silk was the 25L Tuesday offer at Soedara. I took advantage to pretty much buy it in every colour I didn't already have!

Also featured - and  you can see a closer shot after the jump - are two items from this round of We Love Role-Play.  They are a makeup from Aeva, and the Maris headdress and necklace from the GSpot gacha.

Aeva are offering six different makeups, each discounted 25%. Meanwhile, the gacha can be round in the special cheapies area, which is between two of the cabins.

The winter queen

It's late, so a very quick post tonight.

You'll probably recognise the crown and feather collar as GSpot's 'Nell' set for Enchantment. The cream option is shown here, but it's also available in black and gold.

Enchantment opens to the public on 1st November at 12 noon SLT - but you can join the Enchantment update group to take advantage of 12 hours early access.

Hunt at the Shack - free stuff!

*Shack* Andora (S) Lagoon

Shack are participating in the Femdom Hunt, and their hunt prize contains lots for anyone roleplaying as a slave girl. In the box you'll find a set of dancing silks, a pretty camisk, and a work tunic. Also - not shown here - are a box of 'Whipped' tattoos, if you've been punished recently. Ouch.

A quick word about the hair - I do love a fabulous swishy ponytail style - which is from Mina and available now (discounted!) at We Love Role-Play. This round will be open until the end of the month, when it closes for a few days before re-opening at 3pm SLT on 4th November.

Crayon Colour Challenge: Week 39, Mauvelous

Mauvelous

Mauvelous

I think I'm going cross-eyed. All pinks look the same to me now :/ Anyway, I'd thought this pink was kind of a warm pink (and wondered why it was being called 'mauve'!). Now, too late, I can see that it actually has a good dash of blue in it. Gah.

Never mind, if the gown from Emo-Tions doesn't quite hit the spot, the fabulous Vexillum of Bellerophon from GSpot in pink and white seems a really good match. It's at at this round of  We<3RP.  It comes in 9 different colours, and many of them are considerably more war-like than pink and white!

We Love Role-Play round 5

We <3 Role-Play opened a few days ago, but due to RL being kind of hectic, I'm a little late with those post!

Anyway, it's another great round of fabulous items at discounted prices.

I just want to point out that there's also a special area for 'cheapies' - and that's where you'll find these silver 'faux elf ears' that I'm wearing. I love them - in fact, I'm almost tempted to go to Etsy and find an RL pair!

We Love Role-Play: Cerridwen's Cauldron, GSpot and Alchemy

The fourth round of We <3 Role-Play opens tomorrow, and the quality of the items on offer remains sky-high. The prices are low though, with everything 25-50% off.

I don't usually blog builds or furniture, but I was so impressed by some of the offerings this round that I will be featuring them. In these pictures, you can see the amazing Jellyfish Gazebo from Cerridwen's Cauldron.

Also shown is the new Aphrodisia gown from GSpot and the beautiful Eladie skin from Alchemy.

Coming soon: Round 2 of We Love Role-Play

Are you read to get your shop on? Round 2 of We <3 Role-Play will open at 3pm on June 4th, featuring some of SL's finest creators offering items at discounts of between 25% and 50%.

The list of creators for this round appears below, and it's just as awesome as last time out (but please do bear in mind that it is subject to change, real life happens and so on).

We [heart] Role-Play: Extremely Coy from GSpot

Roleplayers of Second Life, have you got any lindens left after Fantasy Faire? I hope so, because the We <3 Role-Play event opens on May 4, and there is really a stellar list of participants (list after the jump).

The first outfit sent out to bloggers is 'Extremely Coy' from GSpot. I'm really pleased to get the chance to try something from this store as I've seen it featured on other blogs but never gotten round to checking it out myself (bad, lazy blogger!!).
