Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Garden Magics

January 31, 2026

There’s a new round of We Love Role-Play just around the corner, after the customary break in January, so I wanted to give you a sneak peek of some of the flowery delights awaiting you on the 4th of February. It is still winter outside my window (and the wind is viciously cold), so I opted for some magical greenery and lively colours in Second Life. The glowing Star Flowers are by Cerridwen’s Cauldron and can be customised in great detail. They also come in several variants in terms of size and number of flowers. The Dark Calathea is by Blue Blood and are great for creating a mystical underbrush of large, leafy plants.

The outfit also has a floral inspiration, with leaf-like shapes and a flower at the belt. I envision it as the outfit for a witch focusing on growing magic and tending to these fantastical plants.  It is a collaboration between Petrichor and Ersch which means tons of options for the colours of the different elements.

The Cherie hair from Wasabi is a recent FLT edition, and I particularly liked how it framed my face, showing off the Victoria skin from Nar Mattaru and the brand new Aquarius makeup from alaskametro.

Orderly Elegance

January 29, 2026

Midnight Order consistently delivers top-notch content. In the current round, we have the Leoti Street Suit from Grasshopper Street, available at a 25% discount. The tailored wool jacket layered over a smart vest and high-necked blouse creates a sharply defined silhouette, balanced by the flared skirt and cinched wasp-waist belt. The HUD includes a generous range of colour options, and the fit covers a wide selection of bodies, making it both flexible and refined. Available as a gift at the event, the small cameo at the throat adds a restrained, period-inspired detail. Completing the styling is the new Emma hair by Raven Bell, also available at Midnight Order. The shape is softly structured and elegant, working beautifully with the high neckline and overall classic feel of the outfit.

To create a suitable setting, I used the Upright Piano from the Heritage series by DICTATORSHOP. The wood finish and detailing feel timeless, and it sits naturally in both formal parlours and more lived-in interiors. Beyond its visual presence, the piano offers multiple versions—PG, Adult Vanilla, and Adult Kink—each packed with animations that range from simple solo playing and shared duets to more intimate interactions.

Also from the heritage range is the compact but versatile bookcase that does a lot with very little land impact. With nine different rezzable decor options and ten wood finishes, it avoids the repetition that often comes with built-in props. The discreet placement of the texture-change button allows the shelf to sit close to other furniture while remaining fully accessible, making it easy to integrate into layered interiors or larger modular builds.

Executive Elegance

January 18, 2026

The office feels less like a workplace and more like a private room behind the velvet rope. Light glides across polished wood and leather, softened just enough to suggest discretion rather than formality. This is a space meant for late decisions, quiet negotiations, and moments that linger well past closing time.

The ClubNoir Executive Desk sets the tone. Its silhouette is clean and contemporary, but the materials give it weight: deep leathers, rich finishes, and subtle PBR reflections that respond beautifully to low, directional lighting.  The desk supports one or two avatars through AVsitter, with smooth transitions that make sitting, turning, or engaging with someone nearby feel fluid. Even in the PG version, the positioning alone carries a sense of hierarchy and invitation—the chair, the desk surface, the space beneath it all working together to suggest what kind of room this really is.

The desk comes in three versions: PG (108 animations), Adult Vanilla (250 animations), Adult Kink (324 animations). The Adult Kink version includes both femdom and maledom animations and makes wonderful use of the desk as in its power play. Naturally, you get options for the look of the desk, from austere black marble to glossy gold plating. This new range (which soon will be expanded) is for those who want the best.

My styling leans into that after-hours mood. The Blush hair from Wasabi is a new release, stylish but just a little loose and easy (it includes two versions, with mirrors of each), while the Reese dress from Salt & Pepper—a current group gift—is sleek and sexy with fantastic-looking textures.

Northern Sunset

January 07, 2026

The snow blankets the landscape and all is quiet around the rustic, red-painted houses. A strange place to find a proper lady, but to see the northern lights, one has to venture outside of one’s comfort zone.

The beautiful winter day dress from Grasshopper Street, with its matching collarette and muff, really needed some lovely snowy surroundings, so I reused my setup of Fanatik’s Rorbuer buildings. These are traditional Norwegian fishing village houses and they look so lovely in this landscape and with an environment setting that suggests a cold winter evening and northern lights.
