Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin Pie

Today, you’re invited to follow along as I try out making a pumpkin pie with Herb & Fable. If you are unfamiliar with Herb & Fable, I try to give a little introduction, though I am pretty new to it as well and may have gotten some details wrong! It is a mini game within Second Life, which includes things like quests to gather certain items or instructions for how to grow plants or bake and make things. The pumpkin pie recipe and ingredients pack is a new release for the October round of We Love Role-Play, which also includes the Norse-inspired gown from Sweet Kajira that I am wearing and the pumpkin patch (from Jinx, who are the creators of Herb & Fable) you see during the video.

As always, photos and credits (with links to the event) follow below.

The Mysteries

The Mysteries

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!

Petals on the Wind

Petals on the Wind

The Empire-waisted Lottie gown by Sweet Kajira is made ultra-feminine and ethereal by the partially transparent overskirt. Add to that the fantastical floral headpiece by Zibska, which includes a cloud of floating petals, and you are starting to look very fantastical. Perhaps a bit elven, even? That is why I opted for making use of Tirrany Designs Shadows of Lorien cottage, placing it amidst a rocky landscape created with primarily Fanatik landscaping. All the mentioned pieces, save for the Fanatik landscaping, are new releases at the March round of We Love Role-Play, meaning they can be had at a discount for the duration of the event. In addition to this I am using poses (with more floating petals included) from Stardust. My skin is not new, it is a previous hunt item from alaskametro, but it was recently updated to 2K textures and more tones will be available at the Skin Fair.

Snow Falling

Snow Falling

It rained a bit here today, but I am still in Winter mood, waiting for more snow tomorrow. So, I am playing around with more snow scenes in Second Life as well, here using a covered viking hut from Del-ka Aedilis with the shimmer snow particles from Dysfunctionality. My outfit is by Sweet Kajira for the December round of We Love Role-Play (still available through January) and the head piece is by Miamai for Winter’s Hollow (open until the 20th of January). The poses are from Nantra’s Blame it on the Rain set, but that works just as well with snow of course.
