Default me







I  love this look so much that I made it my default look , so if you see me round and about in SL you'll most likely see me wearing this! so just a quick tip and i'm sure most of you know it & will sigh but just incase someone doesn't it's handy to make a default folder of your favorite look, so when you're faffing about playing dolly dress up & you don't like what you've done you can go back to the 'old me' in the click of a button!

Simply go to appearance then down to the bottom of the page where it says make outfit click on that, a series of box will appear , make sure all of those are ticked , rename your folder and of course mine is renamed default fauna, save and hey presto job is done! I hope you like all these items as much as I do

Gifts from a Dragon

She had loved the dragon and his gifts. And this year his gift had been amazing. The dragon molted all twelve years and this year he had choosen her to give her his old skin. Thin scales covered it and it was nearly sheer. She was impressed.
Dragonscale dress II
Even more when she realized how stable it was. It was the perfect material for a dress which would be stunning but at the same time more protecting than a thick armor made of metal. She needed some time to make a fitting belt and a collar out of a meteorite. But at the end the dress was perfect. The dragon was content when seeing it. He was a very good and useful friend. And one virgin a year in exchange for his friendship was not a too high price in her opinion.
Dragonscale dress I
The dragonskin gown is one of the latest releases from Adam n Eve. As typical for outfits from this store it is possible to wear it in many ways. The set includes two kinds of skirts a wide and a narrow one. The bra comes either as full bra or with one side of it pulled down so that one breast is not covered. It is also possible to wear the top, which looks like waves made of scales, to wear without the bra under it. The pants which are worn under the skirt come in a long and in a panties version. All systemparts come on all layers. And it was easy to make the skirt fit even my not so tall avatar. The dress is available in several colours and it is also possible to buy all those colours at once in a fatpack. The skin I used for the pictures also comes from Adam n Eve it is the Victoria Skin in sunkissed. I love the elegance of the face of this skin. The shading of the body and the face is perfect. The skin comes with many makeups, eyebrows and pubic hair options on the tattooo layer and includes also several manicure and pedicure options on the glove and the sock layer. The makeup on the picture is not included in the skin but one of my favourite makeups. It also comes from Adam n Eve and looks like there would be little flowers painted around the eyes.

The gallery gift shop








There are so many great  themed events going on in SL & I often wonder  how people just know about these things, more often than not I just happen to find out by chance & so when I do I want to share it. Well here are a couple of my finds, firstly I want to mention the eyes aren't they amazing! well they're from Sterling Artistry (yes Dagmars favourite eye store) which have a weekly deal offering a pair of eyes for 10L, so this particular pair won't be around long but you'll be sure to pick up another equally wonderful pair for a bargain price.

Next is The Gallery gift shop, where a whole load of designers/ artists display their goods which gets rotated on a monthly basis. There is a whole host of different things there and  you won't find them in the sellers own stores. I especially like this outfit from 22769 (male version available too) in particular the cuffs, I love that kind of detail!

Then last but not least the seasons hunt i'm sure you're all well aware of this one (you're looking  for a shark), I've been waiting to do this hunt with a lovely friend but we keep missing each other, so I sneakily picked up a couple of the hunt items already, shhh don't tell her! anyway please check this link for the store listings & landmarks. Have fun....

Unicorn Plague

Daewyn was surprised when suddenly an unicorn appeared in front of him. He had seen something white walk through the gras but he thought it would be a very big sheep. But then it stood in front of him. The hooves making nearly now sounds. The animal seemed to glow. And it walked closer to Daewyn bowing its head in front of him. Daewyn did not know what else to do than starting to stroke the head of the unicorn. Caressing its fur playing with streaks of its mane. He was surprised how much he liked the feeling he had when stroking the unicorn.
The unicorn and the gold boot warrior
Daewyn had heared about unicorns but he supposed that they would not exist anymore. He had learened that they would be as mystical creatures as Dodos. So being curious he started to read and then he started to blush. Although the skin of his kin was dark and covered with scales he knew that his cheeks were glowing like a fire in the middle of the night. It had felt good to stroke the unicorn but he knew that if anybody would see it with him that person would know the secret he was hiding for ages. Daewyn was virgin.
Elf in golden boots
It was hard enough that some people laughed about his love for well made battle boots. He had more than one pair of boots, which made him to a collector of boots in their opinion, as a
decent warrior was supposed to have only one pair of boots. Nobody cared about the fact that he was the only guy in the army who had no athlete's foot. They prefered to laugh about the three pairs of boots he owned. And now they would know that he was a virgin. Daewyn hoped that the unicorn would not visit him again. But the unicorn did not share his hopes. It visited him again as virgins were rare and it liked being stroked. Of course he had not planed to be a virgin. Being very young when joining the army it was difficult to meet decent women while he was traveling from battle to battle. He could have gone to prostitutes as the other soldiers but in his opinion this was wrong.
gold boot with unicorn
Daewyn was desperate. Being proud he did not want to be mocked at by his companions but the unicorn started to come around everyday. When one of the other soldiers found footsteps of it, Daewyn decided to leave the army. His plans were to go back to his lair supposing that the unicorn would not follow him to the cold north. So he quit the army. He was not to sad about having to do that. He had been much longer in the army than he had planed anyways and only because he enjoyed the fighting so much. So he went on the journey to get home again. But of course the unicorn followed him. In the following time it caused a lot of trouble especially when Daewyn talked to women he liked.
Virgin Elfwarrior
The Niberath boots from Wasabi Pills come in a set which contains them in three colours. They are well sculpted and have of course an resize script. It is amazing how martial and beautiful they look at the same time. But this is a general attribute of all the armours from Wasabi Pills. When looking closer at the boots the little flourish decorations are seeable which have been carved into them. For the pictures I combined the boots with parts of the white death armour and the Thalion hair from the same store. The unicorn is available at Studio Sidhe. It comes with several inbuild poses but it is also possible to use it just as an element of a picture.

With the Whales

She was standing in her garden. It made her sad that she had to leave. And it made her insecure. Where would she live? What would happen to the whales she used to watch while sitting on the dock? Everything was so unpredictable.

22769 just released their latest groupgift. It is very summery. The outfit consists of shorts with a tanktop and a open blue shirt. The tanktop could be worn of course also without the shirt and of course it comes in a version for guys and one for girls. The tattoo on the leg is a gift from actchio.

[a dance at versailles]

Your lips shine like Paris
mon amour a toi toujours - ma chérie
but your tears bring a little London for me
Berlin can never be so cold as you reach

Baby would you dance with me to the night?
into the serious moonlight
brighter than the stars above you shine
and the loving feels alright...
