Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Eyes On Me

Eyes On Me

DICTATORSHOP has added more pieces to the sexy and sumptous ClubNoir range. Using the Groove Chair and the Groove Lounger, each with a rich leather texture selected but you have other choices too (such as latex, and so many mix & match possibilities), I tried to create a private nightclub corner. The build is actually the Nautilus from Fanatik, which comes preset with a reflection probe and lighting, but I covered the walls with the curtains from the same set to make it more night club and less steampunk.

Both the Chair and the Lounger are packed full of animations and I love that these have a very large selection of excellent solo animations for both male and female avatars. I could easily find animations that showed off the furniture well and also for showing the sexy romper from the Muses, the cute Taffy hair from Wasabi (love the unusual pony tail and the pretty bow) and for doing close-ups to show the wonderful new Depthglass Eye System (mesh eyes that utilise BOM and a PBR lens, for amazing realism) from ContraptioN. As a result, there’s a lot of photos in this post!

I do have one complaint about the eyes, however. I ended up stuck for hours last week making my own eye textures because the Depthglass Eye System can make a more “basic” texture look amazing and now I can get exactly the colours I want.

Come With Me

Come With Me

“Come with me”, she said as she turned away to walk back down the dim hallway she had come from, bearing a heavy candelabra in one hand and a rolled-up letter in the other.  “You will want to read this.”

Welcome to the June round of We Love Role-Play, where scantily clad maids bearing secret messages is only of many possbilities!

The cute and cheeky top and skirt are by the Muses and I love the Wine colour shown here but it also comes in several other gorgeous colours. The ties on the side are such a perfect detail, very sexy.

The candelabra is by Nocturna Deed and includes a wide range of metal textures, some smooth and new, some tarnished. The letter is from Opifex and it includes a male and a female version with two animations each as well as a texture HUD for changing the colours or making the scroll look dirty or bloody. Finally, the banners are by Tirrany Designs. They include standing and hung versions and different background colours.

Lewdly Lustful

Lewdly Lustful

Lewd Station has sailed up as one of the most vibrant adult events on Second Life, with many top creators participating. At the current round, you will find Dutchie there with the brand new Curved Sofa. This elegant piece iincludes 9 PBR colours and is sold either on its own or in a set with some matching decor (the rug, painting, table and bowl of apples also seen in these photos). Whichever option you choose, you will have a beautiful addition to your virtual home.

And, of course, as with most of Dutchie’s furnishings you have the choice between a PG and an Adult version. In fact, there are actually two Adult versions. One supporting MF and one supporting MF, FMF and MFM. Alas, we did not have an alt to invite this time, so you will to be satisfied with some hints as to what the Adult MF animations are like. There are 90 of those, organised across several submenus, and arranged into 9 sequences. The sofa has four auto-attaching props and is compatible with Lovense, PhatPussy, Aeros and Physics Cock.

Perhaps an unnecessary warning, but the images following below are to various degrees NSFW as I wanted to give some samples from the various couple menus. The shape of the sofa made for a lot of interesting angles!

Lewd Station is running from May 20th to June 15th, so do head over there to check out Dutchie’s Curved Sofa and all the other naughtiness!

Fantasy Faire 2026: Meet Moria

Fantasy Faire 2026: Meet Moria

Sailing to the Faire took longer than I would have liked, but now I have finally had time to give the stunning sims of the 18th Fantasy Faire a good look, I have done a bit of shopping and I’ve taken Moria the Direwolf, one of two new Teeglepets, for a ride around Ülim’Hyl, the sim sponsored by En Pointe and Teegle. 

Fantasy Faire is, as always, one of the main events in Second Life raising money for the American Cancer Society through RFL - the Relay for Life. During the Fantasy Faire, you can shop new exclusive releases where the sale proceeds go to RFL as well as participate in a huge number of events that raise funds in various ways.

This year, Teegle has released two new Teeglepets, Moria the Direwolf and Osaka the Spirit Wolf. In addition to these beauties, there are tack sets for the wolves and stunning PBR-enabled wolf coats. You can also find a selection of previous releases at 10% off.

In the video you can also see my new outfit from the Muses as well as face tattoos and a staff from Auro. These are all new Faire releases and while the hair isn’t new, it is by Faire-participant Analog Dog.
