Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Fantasy Faire 2026: Requiem

May 08, 2026

With only two more days left of the Faire, the time has come to wander Alia Baroque’s Requiem. Here, among mausoleums, graveyards and solemn statuary, we are reminded of death and reminded to live. The sim is undeniably gothic and as such I could not resist wandering through it like an unquiet ghost who, lost and bewildered, finds a tombstone with her own name on it.

The sinfully red gown (which can be clicked to raise the hem in a very naughty fashion) is by SoapBerry. I have not tried them before but I could not resist this gown, which also includes a bloody version of each colour. The torch, just like the lantern I showed in an earlier post, is from Titans, another brand that I have not purchased from earlier. I am also wearing a necklace from On a Lark which can function as a scripted collar or just be worn as a regular necklace.

I tried to really make an effort this year to browse new stores at the Faire and even if it can be overwhelming I can definitely recommend it. I went through a few sims at a time, to keep myself from rushing. So make the most of the last few days and don’t forget to pay special attention to the RFL vendors to keep raising money for the fight against cancer.

Fantasy Faire 2023: Noble Houses

May 04, 2023

I love taking photos at the Fantasy Faire while the Fairelands are still around, but to show off the beautiful new buildings from Del-ka Aedilis I had to return home and play around with building a whole new renaissance quarter to accommodate them! There’s a total of eight new buildings added to the Medici series and I’ve worked three of those into my setup together with a pair of previous releases.  In addition, I have added decor pieces from Harshlands and Contraption. But first, lets take a look at what I am wearing.

The Poet’s Passion

July 05, 2022

Sometimes, the poet and his muse get a bit carried away…

For the Fantasy Room, Del-ka Aedilis has released the Scroll Shelf Agrippa, available in two heights, three wood types and with two different ornaments (or none). I set it up in their Villa Agrippa, also adding in the Tablinium Table Agrippa in the background. The couple pose used is by Be My Mannequin? for the POSEvent. It is called “Mine” and at the event you can also get it in a fatpack with another couple pose for 10% off.

My hair is one of Raven Bell’s releases for the Hair Fair (which ends on Sunday the 10th of July, so don’t miss out!), a gorgeous long style fitted for both male and female avatars. Ran is wearing the male version of Ash from Wasabi and you can get a better look at both hairs in the additional photos below. The outfits are by Antaya and Last Ride.

Read My Lips

September 21, 2021

The Fawn outfit from On a Lark is a special offer for 25 Linden Tuesday; individual colours are 25L and the HUD-controlled fatpack only 125L. It includes six different fits, among them Slink Hourglass so that is what I opted for this time. To show it off I decided to make use of a backdrop from Faida for La vie en pose as well as poses by Creative Stylez, also for La vie en pose.  The backdrop includes several different textures both for the stone and for the drapery, the poses come with mirrored versions and a lipstick prop for each version.
