The Perils of Power

September 05, 2025

This ended up so much more moody than I had imagined at first. The regal lady, with her ornate headdress and dramatic gown (I love how the horns of the Escoffion by Grasshopper Street are echoed in the Melisende gown by Ruxy), seems both powerful and vulnerable, drinking her wine in solitude even though there are other glasses on the table. Did she expect someone to join her? What happened to keep them away?

The Escoffion is closely modelled on an actual historical headdress and can be extensively customised with textures and tints. It comes in a rigged and an unrigged version. The Melisende gown also offers several texture options for different parts of the gown.

The Labyrinth set of wine glasses, bottle and decanter is made by Cerridwen’s Cauldron and the Darkmoore chair and the table are by Noctis. Like the escoffion and the gown, they are available at the new round of We Love Role-Play, and everything is discounted for the duration of the event.

Showgirl

July 20, 2025

Dutchie’s Performer Chair is one of my favourite ways of showing off a sexy outfit and it was a perfect fit for the Dance Set Lingerie from Grasshopper Street, which will be out at Midnight Order today with a 25% discount. This Flapper-style lingerie set comes fitted to GenX, Legacy, Maitreya and Reborn and includes a versatile HUD with preset textures and colours as well as tinting options. The set uses PBR textures for that added edge of realism, but fallback textures are also included. The style perfectly captures the Flapper look, conveying a kind of bold sexiness without being overdone.

Visions of Egypt

May 26, 2025

A short and sweet one for today. Grasshopper Street’s release for We Love Role-Play in May is the beautiful Nefertiti Crown and their gift for this Birthday Round is a matching handheld mirror with Egyptian decorations. I found an Egyptian-inspired outfit—rather loosely inspired, admittedly—from Aurora for a previous WLRP round and wandered off to my little oasis to setup an evening scene with decor from Lore and Libertine.

Fantasy Faire 2025: The King’s Sword

April 21, 2025

A young maiden in disguise takes on a perilous quest, to deliver a king’s sword to its rightful owner. Her travels take her far from court and through many wondrous and sometimes dangerous realms, deep within the mystical Fairelands.

This absolutely gorgeous and well researched Renaissance-inspired outfit is a new release from Grasshopper Street for the Faire. The Prospero set is primarily intended for male avatars, covering a range of bodies, but there is also a Maitreya Flat version that works well for all Maitreya bodies as long as you wear the included alpha. It also works quite well on Legacy’s female bodies with a bit of additional alpha usage. The HUD offers three different textiles, each with eight colour variations, and each section of the outfit can be coloured separately. Also available at the Faire are the velvet garters, these are sold separately for male and female bodies.

Uzme poses provides some of the best action-oriented pose sets around and for the Fantasy Faire they have out a set of single poses and two couple poses, all featuring swords. I had to tweak my arm a little for the first photo, as it sank into the clothing, but otherwise they fit me very well.
