Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Decadent Heritage

Decadent Heritage

Some scenes don’t need much setup—just the right furniture and the right mood. DICTATORSHOP’s Bondage Cross from the Heritage series became the centerpiece for this one, its polished wood, padded support, and smooth restraint system working beautifully for both close interaction and full-scene shots. The cross includes solo poses for male and female avatars as well as a maledom and a femdom menu for two avatars at the same time. In addition, the cross is Jolt-enabled so that when the submissive is using the solo menu, he or she will react to being hit by the Jolt-enabled whips from DICTATORSHOP.

To balance the severity of the cross, I used Libertine’s decadent divan the Swan, available at the current round of We Love Role-Pay for a few more days. Its carved frame and deep upholstery create a perfect visual contrast—comfort observing tension.

For my look, Petrichor & ERSCH’s Valeneros outfit provided a gothic feel and paired welll with Petrichor’s Kessa Heels. Stealthic’s Faith hair added a soft, romantic touch as another contrast.

Ran, in the role of the (un)lucky captive, is wearing no.match No Sweat hair and Contraption’s Cyclist’s Breeches.

The Bath Nymph

The Bath Nymph

I am back from my vacation which means it is time to put my avatar back to work as well. A new round of We Love Role-Play was waiting for me and I dove right in to explore what it had to offer.

My first pick was the Roman Bath Sulis from Del-ka Aedilis. This build recreates an authentic Roman bath with great attention to details. Roman baths involved several different rooms, such as a warm pool, a steam room, a cold pool and a sauna, and these are all represented here. The walls and floors are beautifully decorated with mosaics and in the public toilet area—complete with sponges on a stick—there is even some graffitti. Most of the rooms offer animations, both singles and couples, for an even more immersive experience.

The photos give just a small taste of the bath, so do make sure to check out the build yourselves at the demo area. The build comes with a convenient rezzbox, allowing for easy placement on your land.

Exploring Christmas Through the Decades

Exploring Christmas Through the Decades

I’ve continued my exploration of the SL Christmas Expo sims and found this cute spot that is set up with a mistletoe and a couple’s kissing animation. Alas, I was all alone so I settled for striking a couple of poses under the arch to show off the short, one-shouldered dress from Meander (which also comes with a stylish hat) and the Christmas-edition of the Berwyn shoes by Lindy. A very nice combination, even if the snow-covered sims made me wish for a warm cloak to throw over the sassy little dress!

You have four more days, until the 8th of December, to visit the SL Christmas Expo and help raise money for Childhood Cancer. There’s an extensive list of events on the website as well as a shopping directory, with direct slurls for all of the participating merchants.

The 14th Annual SL Christmas Expo

The 14th Annual SL Christmas Expo

The 14th Annual SL Christmas Expo invites you to visit and take a journey through Christmas Through the Decades. Across the lavishly decorated winter sims you can shop from the many participating merchants and take part in various events, all for the good cause of fighting childhood cancer. The event is open from November 29th to December 8th.

I found a lovely ice skating pond on sim inspired by Christmas in the 1900s, which seemed like a beautiful place to show off the Heather dress in pink from Viki and the charming little Lunar Glider from Unique Obsession, a touch of magical sparkle that hovers above either hand (and animates the hand into the pose you see).
