Defender of the Realm


We <3 RP has recently unveiled a new round of fantastic items for the story tellers of Second Life. You can find all sorts of goodies from homes and decor to armor and accessories. I'm currently wearing the chainmail shirt and bracers from Maxwell Graf's 'Bitch' line. The doublet has materials in it! So take a look on the LL viewer if you can.

Keliah Angelis


My first love in Second Life was role playing. I'm a huge fan of this type of game. It's not nearly the same as playing a video game, where the story is set out for you to discover. This is far different - you're telling a story. At the same time, you are telling stories with other folks who have the same love as you: love for a good story. 

This is how I got my SL name in fact. Keliah Angelis was a character from my own comic books that me and my pot-smoking teenage friends conjured up, though her tale was very brief and that time of my life dissolved away into adulthood - but the character was a cocky-red-head-warrior-princess-bitch-with-chainmail-but-not-Red-Sonia type. 

Later on, I started a forum with some German friends based off of World of Darkness. I played a different character, Keliah being only a rudimentary part of the tale. The forum went on for awhile and I had a lot of fun, and when I finally decided to resurrect Keliah into second life, I found the perfect place for her: Ravenhurst. 

Ravenhurst has since changed, the story now New Raven City - an offshot city of Detroit, Michigan, which is now controlled by the Vampire Authority Council. It's a dark town full to the brim with vampires, werewolves, witches, gypsies, and fae. Human's to. Can't forget the humans. 

I've been so lacking in my blog posts lately because of this rebuild and I expect my upcoming week to be just as busy as we continue to erect Raven City. Stop on by and have a look at the new SIM if you will. Interested in playing? Fill out an application.

Fairy Guardians


Harvest Dezno, a fellow blogger and fashion designer, recently put out a blogging challenge: Blog with another Blogger. I'm all for this idea. Why? I love taking pictures with other people. Sometimes taking pictures of just yourself can get kind of bland. 

So I put out the call on Plurk and got a nibble from Shay. With the Arcade Gatcha Event in full swing, I wanted to focus on the lovely skins from Glam Affair.

Ahoy, Me Hearties!
Contributed by Xomar Mycron


Ahoy, ya land lubbers! Captain Xomar back for 'nother round of sartorial nonsense for the beauty with the most impressive treasure chests that keeps the wind a blowin' and the grog a flowin', Keliah. Speaking of which, I think I need some alcohol. 

*heads into the bowels of his ship and fiddles with his bunghole.*

Alright, where were we? Oh, right, it's talk like a pirate day and I'm already exhausted with the silliness of it all, Especially since pirates didn't talk anywhere near like they do in the movies. Nor did they actually make people walk the plank or bury treasure to be found by later generations of Goonies to save their towns from development. In fact, almost every cool thing that pirates are associated with is all bullshit. Why are they so popular, I hear nobody asking? I'm going to go with their fashion sense. Peg legs, eye patches, and puffy shirts make quite the statement.

Now, I've been many things in SL, Russian spy, asshole, vampire, giant asshole, Gorean outlaw, unrepentant asshole, but pirate is one of my favorites. Unfortunately, there haven't been a lot of quality swag for pirating over the years. However, with the magic of mesh, I've found what has to be the best pirating get up amongst the seven seas...of Marketplace. The store Snatched created by Braydon Randt, an old acquaintance from my Gor days (ZAO represent!), has this awesome outfit simply called Buccaneer. It comes in several different colors; I'm wearing the natural version with a basic white shirt/brown pants combination. If there's anything to complain about this item aside from the laughably bad mesh beard (have they made a beard yet that doesn't look like you skinned a Loraxx and glued it to your face? if so, I haven't seen it) is the fact that your midsection is rather, uh, meaty. Let's just say you'll feel like maybe you should cut back on the grog and start jogging or something.

Either way, get in the spirit and strike a jaunty pose on a barrel before yer keelhauled, ye scallywags!

Moonlit Music


I found this dress on the marketplace and had to have it. I've been trying to cook up something creative with this photo stage prop I picked up from Tableau Vivant during the Fairy Tales event. For those girls stuck in medieval times, or have a Second Life in a fantasy realm, I thought this dress was really beautiful and nicely textured. It also comes with sleeve options for different looks - more bang for your Linden.

My Care is Like My Shadow


My care is like my shadow laid bare beneath the sun
It follows me at all times and flies when I pursue it

Those are lyrics from the television series "The Virgin Queen", which was a series about one of my favorite characters in history: Queen Elizabeth. This song, sung here by one of my favorite groups, the Medieval Baebes, has been stuck in my head now for days. So, I thought I'd take a photograph inspired from pictures of Queen Elizabeth. This actually turned out to be harder than it looked, but I finally managed to come up with something that inspired me enough to pull out my camera.

At first I searched the grid for a castle to pose in, but eventually I found myself in T-Town, which is an alternate portal of amazingness should you happen to drop by Pixel Mode.

[Lelutka] Goes Disney!

Luletka released three (yes, three!) new mesh hairstyles related to some childhood favorites. Ariel (fan girl scream!), Aurora, and Belle. The Little Mermaid was probably the last movie to truly fill me up with imagination and childhood wonder before I started leaning towards adulthood. It remains as one of my favorite movies to this day. (Along with Monty Python and the Holy Grail and MST3K: This Island Earth.)

White Roses

I was so disappointed in Mon Tissu's latest release of mesh jeans - because not all avatars have the tiny, skinny legs, the squashed, tiny ass, and a set up hips that are so fucking wide...okay, sorry. I'm ranting. Mon Tissu, could you make a mesh for us regularly shaped avatars? Meanwhile, I've been working on my photo studio. Gathering textures here, making prims there. Finding suitable props. Messing with my poses. Then I came across the pose I got from Captivity Co. and I was inspired to do a little photo shoot. I don't have actual talender flowers, but I have these white roses. High res shots available in my Deviant Art.


The talender, fixed in her hair, is a slave girl’s wordless confession,

which, commonly, she dares not speak, that she cares for her Master.
