Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

The Fashion Designer

October 25, 2025

I love when furniture has animations that lend themselves well to interesting photography. The Drafting Table from DICTATORSHOP’s Heritage series is one such item. It has plenty to offer in terms of PG and Adult couples animations, but you also have a nice solo menu wit casual animations and a work menu for both genders that shows your avatar at work. The first image is a capture of that, the fashion designer eagerly pouring over her sketches on the table. The PG version has 132 animations and the Adult Vanilla 226. For customisation there are 10 wood textures and 5 metals and 4 different looks for the table—empty, architectural drawings, schematics and fashion designs.

For a bohemian look, I am wearing the Sommeil outfit from the Muses with an elegant choker from Petrichor, with tons of options for the metal and the gemstone. The hair is called Afterglow, a very sexy style from Wasabi for Kustom9.

The Watchtower

October 13, 2025

Every year, she visits the isolated watchtower and looks out over the ocean. And every year, she leaves in silence and goes back to her life.

We Love Role-Play for October is in full swing and this round mixes in plenty of Halloween-inspired releases. But for this post, I stayed within the classic fantasy realm, using the imposing tower from Nocturna Deed to set the stage. Inside, I decorated with pirate-inspired items from Laminak (there are more pieces to the set than is shown here) and for my outfit I selected the beautiful gown from the Muses and the stunning silver choker from Sigma. The choker is fitted mesh and it really makes for a much better jewellery fit for necklaces, even if that of course limits which bodies you can use it on.

The hair is the Cider style from Wasabi, a high braid that can be worn over either shoulder and with or without bangs for maximum versatility.

Heirlooms and Heritage

August 16, 2025

You still have a few days left to visit the current round of Midnight Order, where you can pick up many dark and delightful goodies, such as the beautiful Heirloom Myth set—which combines a mesh jacket with BOM lingerie—by The Muses and the luxurious Gilded Scarab jewellery collection from Yummy. To show it off, I made use of some of the sexy and attitude-filled animations from DICTATORSHOPs Salon Chair from the Heritage series. This series stands for timeless, rustic elegance, with rich woods and aged leathers. Perfect for a gothic setting, especially in the lush mahogany wood option. Also from the Heritage collection is the lingerie chest seen behind the chair, one of many decor pieces available.

The chair comes in PG (over 122 animations), Adult Vanilla (over 244 animations) and Adult Kink (over 290 animations, the last one including both maledom and femdom menues. For customisation, you have a choice between 11 aged leathers, 10 woods and 5 metals.

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.
