Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Showgirl

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.

The Swan and the Raven

June 30, 2025

Some things are just drawn to each other. Last time I featured a DICTATORSHOP piece, I wore the Raven hair from Magika and a lingerie set from the Muses. This time, I also landed on the Raven hair (largely because I wanted this post title!) and another set of lingerie from the Muses, this one a gift at the SL22B Shop & Hop. It also lent itself well to the silver and black theme that became my overarching idea for this setup.

The gorgeous bath is from the luxurious and ornate Swan Lake range from DICTATORSHOP. These are the pieces you need to make an opulent statement in your home—you could just imagine Marie Antoinette dropping by to try out this bath! It is available in a PG and an Adult Vanilla version, with solo and couple animation menus for both versions. The logo gives access to the texture change menu (5 colours, gold or silver accents) as well as water and bubble options.  I really like how the swan wings came out with this lighting, there’s beautiful detail to the texture and to the mesh. And the animations definitely add to the decadence of this bath, having you lounge about as if you were a queen.

Vampire Queen

Only two days remain for the current round of We Love Role-Play and there are definitely some nice things available. Remember, everything is discounted (between 15% and 30%) while at the event, so if you see something you like it is a good time to pick it up.

Taking my cue from the Gothic Castle from Nocturna Deed and the Bloodbane sword from Axis Mundi, I needed an outfit that looked right on someone wielding that sword and living in that castle. Ruxy’s Aesira was a good start, but it was the addition of Nefekalum’s tattoos that sealed the deal. I also found a good use for one of my Hair Fair purchases, the No Legends hair from No Match.

The Mysteries

June 04, 2025

We Love Role-Play invites you to its June round. And at the same time, I thought I would invite you to partake of the Mysteries in Mithraeum, courtesy of Del-ka Aedilis beautiful rendition of this temple, which I surrounded by grotto pieces from Fanatik since these were often in hidden, subterranean locations.

Now, it is unclear how much of a role women actually played in the cult of Mithras, but here you find yourself guided into the temple by a priestess, wearing an ornate headdress (by Angelicus for WLRP) and a long draped gown in royal purple (by Sweet Kajira for WLRP). Both the headdress and the gown include HUDs for texture options.

The elegant low pony-tail, draped across one shoulder, is the Isa style by Kuni, which you will find at the Hair Fair. Each sale at Hair Fair donates to Wigs for Kids, so please shop for a good cause!
