She was put
at the entrance of the mansion more than a century ago. The then reigning baron
was an art lover, quite proud of his impeccable taste: he had found the statue
of the slender woman in the studio of a young Parisian sculptor, talented but
not well-known enough to earn a meal by his art. The statue witnessed the flow
of house guests, arriving in large groups at first… then, as the baron lost
money and power, the guests became fewer and fewer, until they didn’t come any
more. These days the only visitors were the wild animals from the nearby
forest. “Welcome to my humble abode! I hope you will enjoy your stay!” – the
statue whispered to a curious deer, and the rusty iron creaked as the gate
swung open.
We hardly
said goodbye to the wonderful Fantasy Faire, and there is another event to save
us (“us” meaning “creatures with a darker streak to their character”) from
boredom – the World Goth Fair. You may happily while away your hours strolling
from booth to booth in the three sims, but please don’t forget that it is also
a charity event in benefit of The Sophie Lancaster Foundation. You may read about
the history of the foundation and their work IRL on their homepage.
Dress:
“Annabel Lee” in Onyx by Fosca de Les Encantades – available in the WGF Port
Seraphine sim (100 L$). I love the extreme silhouette of the corset, it’s very
à la Poe and very 19th Century Noir!
Necklace:
“Iron Cross Necklace” in Gray by LaNoirSoleil – available in several colours in
the WGF Port Seraphine sim (147 L$).
Filigree
nails: “Tactum Mortis” in Black Necritol by LaNoirSoleil – available in various
colours in the WGF Port Seraphine sim (147 L$). “Tactum Mortis” means “Touch of
Death” and it is an amazing filigree nail/finger extension thingy, a combination
of delicate metal vines and a razor sharp, elegant claw available in several
colours.
Face chain:
“Maev Chains” in Black by Axix – available at the Fantasy Gacha Fair (50 L$ per
play).
Tiara/headphone:
Tuner/Headphone in Black by ANC - – available at the Fantasy Gacha Fair (50 L$
per play). It is quite a surprising item to find among shoulder pet dragons and
various pieces of fantasy armour, but – thanks to the tiara-like upper part –
the style quite fits in.
Skin:
“Lacrimosa Weeping” by Fallen Gods – this wonderful “stony” skin was a donation
item at the Fantasy Faire, now available at the main shop in Selidor (800 L$
for one of the four versions – Epitaph, Weeping, Mausoleum or Crack, 2,200 L$ for a
fatpack).
Lips:
Glamorize – Rival Black Combo (1 L$).
Eye makeup:
White Widow – an old hunt gift not available any more.
Hair: “Carlie”
by Damselfly – a free gift at the Fantasy Gacha Fair that comes with a colour
HUD.
Eyes:
“January Ice” by Sterling Artistry – an old group gift not available any more,
but "Gilded Field" from the DailyEyes series looks quite similar (85 L$).
Pose:
Izumiya – free gift in the main shop (0 L$).
