30L Anniversary Fair (featuring May's Soul)

The 30L Anniversary Fair opened yesterday (I couldn't get in then!), celebrating 4 years of 30L events. It runs until Sunday, so don't leave it too late before visiting.

You'll find some amazing 30L bargains, like this armour bodice from May's Soul, which comes in three different metallic colours, and three different finishes (plain, embellished, and bloody).

There are also 30L gachas, and my nosering / facechain is a special rare prize, again from May's Soul.

Even if you're completely broke and haven't a single Linden dollar to your display name, you should still go and have a look around - there's a 0L hunt with prizes from all the stall holders. Look for the cord necklaces with dangling '4' pendant hidden in all sorts of sneaky places.

The Raven Goddess

This post is a liberal interpretation of a raven goddess figure - specifically the Morrigan, the mysterious and elusive Celtic deity associated with war and sovereignty (not to be confused with Morgana le Fay from Arthurian legend).

The images were inspired by this amazing headdress from Emo-tions which has definitely got the 'wow' factor. I picked it up at the Jewelry and Accessory Expo a couple of days ago and was really taken aback by the amount of talent and creativity on display there. 

On a more critical note, I did find the Expo layout quite difficult to follow and wasn't at all impressed by the 'teaser vendors' - showing items coming in 4 days, 10 days etc. I appreciate the organisers want to maintain traffic for the duration of the event, but I'm not sure that's a good way to do it.

Hopefully the organisers will review these ahead of next year's event, because apart from those niggles, I was very impressed and spent quite a few lindens. I'm also very pleased that the Expo gachas gave out quite a few rares :D  There are also lots of gifts and dollarbies around the stores too, so even if you're broke, it's worth going to check out.

Uroboros: The serpent swallows its own tail

The uroboros, after which this outfit from Bare Rose is named,  is the symbol of the snake that bites or swallows its own tail.

Goddess of the Hunt

Tonight's post is a tribute to my favourite goddess: the fiercely independent Artemis, ancient Greek goddess of the hunt and the moon; protectress of wild animals, young children, and women in childbirth.
