Somewhere Over the Rainbow...

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Dorothy was forever changed by her childhood visit to Oz. It was considered a miracle she escaped the tornado with only a bump to the head and a scar to the face. She had long ago accepted her memories of Oz were dreams triggered by head trauma. Never-the-less, she was determined to bring a little magic of Oz to Kansas. She studied agriculture to learn how to revitalize parched land. To brighten the otherwise dusty landscape, she planted colorful flowers that reminded her of Munchkinland. "Paradise is not a dream," Auntie Em often said, "It's the product of hard work and determination." All seemed to be going well for Dorothy, until the eve of her 18th birthday. Shattering her sense of reality, a yellow brick road slowly formed before her house leading up into the sky. 

Enchantment returns with the Wizard of Oz. Don't miss this beautifully decorated sim, fun creations, live performances, parties, art, and the many anniversary gifts!

Valentines for Vladislav

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Vladislav Dracul was 540 years old. It's true he was a bit of perv and had old fashioned ideas. Instead of cleaning up after himself, he didn't understand why he couldn't have slaves do it. When he was angry he worked out his frustrations in the torture chamber, poking his victims with various sharp objects. (It's how he earned the nicname Vladislav The Poker.) Despite that, he made an honest effort to learn the ways of modern culture. In fact, he quickly learned how to use a smart phone to take nude pictures of himself and send them to his next conquest, err, ... I mean Valentine.

Now is the time to run get gifts for your sweetheart. If you're tired of flowers and want something more spicy, then run to ROMP's first gacha, Objets D'Amour. This is an amazing event where you can walk away with fun, sexy, and even humorous creations for Valentines. You won't believe your eyes at some of the goodies there too! lol Don't miss it! All gacha is transferrable, perfect for gift giving. Objets D'Amour runs until February 15th.   From the event shown above on the floor are pillows and floor stocks by Roawenwood's Sleek Bindings gacha. The pillows contain 8 poses for men, and stocks contain 1 pose for women and cuffs. From Artisan Fantasy are the Ropes, Pinwheel set, Dripping Candles, Cock Toys, and Feather Ticklers from the Capturado gacha. From oOo Studio is are naughty Selfservice poses for girls and guys, shown above is #6 for men. From Swagga is the fun Dirty Phone gacha. Each phone comes with a hud to trigger animations for talking, and even one of them will snap a naughty picture for you to send. lol   Also by Swagga are the robe and underwear for TMP on sale at Sir Monthly. The Robe comes in black, red, and pink. You can get matching underwear in the fun valentines theme too. And one thing for sure the guys will want for Valentines are the naughty Morning Wood briefs. It comes with 2 underwear, normal and adult and includes a hud for matching all 36 skintones of TheMeshProject male body.

The Fantasy Gacha Carnival has returned with the theme of Game of Thrones vs Star Wars. (Love it!) For Vlad, I used the horns, eyes, and 2 shawls from Aii's Dragon gacha. The Aura shawl will animate like purple flames around you when you touch it. From Zyn is the Iron Dragon amulet, and from Bubble I took the Drakonae eye chocker and converted to a headband. The sweet looking Dragon Wing chair is by Entity. (I added a tint of red and purple) The wavy Champagne hair is by Tableau Vivant.  The face and body piercings are by Haus of Darcy. They also include body paint for the default figure. I added a new latex stocking to TMP, this one is by F'n'Hawt and has laces on the back.  This post's story was inspired by the hysterical mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows. I love that movie!

I paired with it these cool TMP applier pants by Roosters. And once more did my "wear two bodies just so I can have these badass latex gloves by female poisen." lol I know, I'm crazy.

STORYLINE: Gin found Kaiser Kruel hiding among the humans in the City That Never Sleeps. Kaiser's wrath was truly terrifying. But Gin silently endured his master's rage. He wasn't human after all, he could handle whatever the deposed tyrant threw at him. But no matter how violent things got, there was a deep bond of trust between them. They knew each other's limits. For Kaiser, he had someone who would never abandon him no matter his crimes. And for Gin, he was the only living soul who saw tears in the mighty Pharaoh's eyes.

On sale at ROMP, Titzuki created some Must have poses, blood tattoo, and even blood dribble strings I know the vamps will all love. Shown above is the TMP applier blood on chest tattoo.

Destined for Valhalla

(click to enlarge)

Akaneiro Oni - Blade for Hire

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Akaneiro was an Oni gone rogue, a hired muscle. He was known for being a capable Ronin, but few of the dwellers in the village realized what he was hiding under his hat, his tale-tell Oni horns.

I have a treat for you guys today, a fantastic sim I discovered! Soyokaze is a role playing sim that's beautifully made in the Edo Japan period. They locals are friendly (unless you draw a sword like I did for this picture. Drawing a sword is seen as invitation to get into a fight. lol) There is a cool interactive game on this sim, The Code of the Bushido. Some quests are puzzles, some require a 2nd person, and one of them requires skills and practice to pass. I recommend it for all fans of games in SL.

Before you head to the sim to explore and play, you will need to dress for the part. Above I am wearing an awesome new creation by Swagga, Ronin's Soul. It's one piece fitted mesh and it includes the top, pants, belt, two sheathed katana, and a water bottle. It's on sale now at We <3 Role Play. The Oni pauldron, bracers are an excellent new gacha by Pucca Firecaster. Touch the armor to resize it and it will also deliver to you a texture change hud.  All parts can be resized in the edit menu. The hat is another gacha item, but this one is by 22769 bauwerk. It was from a past Secret Affair, and sadly looks like it's no longer available. (I couldn't find it at the main store location.) The geta are by CerberusXing, and I added a fun tint to them. They can work with either slink or TMP feet, they not rigged and editable. For fun, I added the deep red nail polish by Senzafina. It's just one hud and it will add color to both hands and feet at the same time.

STORYLINE: It was not his lack of skill or Oni magic that got him captured, it was bad intel on how heavily fortified his objective was. Still, he made an oath to return to the Sacred Oni Lands once he escaped. He sensed the Oni had lost too much power. The humans had grown too bold. They no longer feared creatures such as him. He decided it was better to die in a last stand among his brothers and sisters then to suffer the humiliation of being captured by humans again.

20,000 Leagues under the Sea

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: My dearest, I write in this journal in the hopes that someday it may reach you, so that you may know the truth of what happened to your Aronnax. The sea monster that had been sinking ships was not as I theorized, the Great Narwhal. No, it is a beast of metal and steel. So advanced is it's technology, I am awestruck. I have been held prisoner here over a year by it's captain, Nemo. He is as mad as he is brilliant. I have seen many wonders. I shall endeavor to document it all, but know my thoughts are never far from you. I hope someday I might return to your arms.

Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is the theme of the current A Tattered Page round! It inspires so many ideas. Underwater gothic with a Hades archetype and pipe organs, Steampunky, and Tentacles! What's not to love, right? 20,000 Leagues rocks! If you haven't dropped by yet, head over the Library of A Tattered Page and check out the watery coolness, it ends today.

Shown above are decor elements from this round. The black pearl on pillow by BluPrintz can change textures for the pearl, pillow, and piping. The portholes by Noctis come in either steel or bronze. Little schools of fish swimming past in them, I love it! The Nautilus sofa comes with poses for male and female and really captures that submarine Victorian vibe. You can get it in cyan or ruby, with pillows or without. Matching the set is the Nautilus ceiling lamp. It also comes in either cyan or ruby. In the center is a beautiful original art sculpture by Unrepentant, Ned's Cachalot. It comes with materials that photograph lovely. You mod it and scale it up or down.  Below it is a cool Aquarium by Roawenwood. Inside are little fishes that swim around. I love how the colors of corals inside the tank have captured that blacklight aquarium look. The chest, seahorse stained glass lamp, and navigational sextant are all from the Remnants of the Nautilus set by  22769 ~ [bauwerk]. The Harpoon on the wall and the books on the floor are by BluPrintz.

I have a confession to make, as a kid I had two favorite rides at Disney World: The Pirates of the Caribbean and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I loved it, it was spooky with pipe organs and it made my child's mind excited seeing scenes like Atlantis and giant squid. I hope I was able to capture that cool vibe of the Nautilus.

The Conservatory 2

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: On his way to rendezvous with Lady Edelweiss, the Black Baron became suspicious he was being followed.

The outside of the Trompe Loeil Iona Conservatory at night with the street lights is just phenomenal. The materials and lighting work together to create awesome depth like the shiny copper roof, and sheen to the tile floor. I added scaled up Noctis paperweight Gargoyles out front. They're from the from the Gothmas Tree and Gargoyle set. Inside I created a lush plant grouping with a fountain I hacked. The serene looking mermaid has been replaced by a gargoyle spitting out blood. Hey, a blood fountain is way cooler. lol ...But you may be looking at this fancy guy. He's wearing the beautifully detailed Richelieu gold glasses by AIR. They come with chain either the left or right side, and a resize script. The pipe is a group gift by Epia. Hair is a new release by Tableau Vivant available at the main store. And the warm red Aran Knit sweater is a Men Only Hunt hunt prize by ::K::. It comes in male and female, with under shirt and without out. The head is the new TheMeshProject Anime head, it's perfect for villainous bishounen styles! (I will make a separate post about it to tell you more if time allows.)

STORYLINE: After an enjoyable evening with Lady Edelweiss, The Black Baron got down to business. Shipments of Royal Blood were being attacked by a criminal gang calling themselves The Wrath of Horus. The disruptions of the blood supply were unforgivable. He reviewed the latest military gadgets, such as the biplane bomber, and drew up a battle plan to ambush the crooks. Unknown to him, a raven listened closely to his plans, then silently disappeared up into the night sky.

The cozy Mission Armchair set by Artisan Fantasy comes in either warm or dark wood. It has 2 solo unisex animations, 4 female, 4 male, 5 cuddles, 3 adore, and 5 adult.

The Night Troops 2: Wisdom of the Ancients

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Killing the boy king Tutankhamun was only a lesser of Horemheb's many crimes in the pursuit of ultimate power. He also burned down the Library of Alexandria. Why? Because brilliant Greek engineers had invented steam-powered engines and he wanted this amazing technology for himself. Under his leadership, the underworld flourished as they created more and more wondrous steam-powered inventions. Horemheb was the undisputed God King of the vampires for over 3 thousand years. 

In this post I'm showing some things you can pick up at Clockwork Spiral, but also I want to show a peak at FATEwear's new fall line for men. I love this coat. It comes in long and short, and you can wear a turtle neck or shirt and tie below it. The fatpack versions are nice with texture change hud for jacket, shirt, and tie. The fur stole is by Junbug. I picked it up at  the Mystery Gacha and it worked perfectly on me! Try to score one in the yard sales if you missed it. The Andrew hair is a nice romantic style for guys by Tableau Vivant. Now let's talk about the Spiral! How about those Spatz! I love them! I have wanted boots like this for some time. I don't care if they are for girls, I wore them anyway. They came so, so close to working for the guys, just need little bigger leather top and new alpha. I could have worn a black leather top and you would not notice the poke, but I liked the orange better and retouched out the poke. Please, if you try the demo and like these boots, I recommend you write Refined Wild to request a male version of the SpatSmasher. They are really cool. Speaking of cool, these Plasma Distorter Guns! Aren't the great? They are another fun toy by Souzou Eien. The are props but also mod if you want to add your weapon script. The Derby hat and googles are part of the Immateria Arcane Finery outfit for men.

STORYLINE: Horemheb's long suffering assistant Isabelle Stryker was disheartened by the news of Maximilian's betrayal. When she told the boss the bad news, he flew into a rage. Humans were below vampires! It was outrageous Maximilian was cutting deals with them! But not to be out maneuvered, Horemheb quickly cut a deal of this own with the other side. To make sure his new friends would win the war, he offered the Wisdom of the Ancients. It was no concern to him what the lowly creatures would do with it, humans were food. Never the less, they were delighted with the gift. New and powerful weapons would be created. To honor him, they redubbed him "Kaiser Kruel," for his wrath was a terrible thing indeed.

Fantasy Faire: Hades' Haircut

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Persephone, what a pain she was. When he told her his plan to hunt down the rogue souls of the lost city, she giggled. "Oh no Mr Grumpy Toga, you are NOT going out in the world of the living like that!" The more his anger flared, the more she roared with laughter. "But Hades, surely people would die of fright at the mere sight of you!" He turned to leave and grumbled, "The more the merrier." "Wait!" she chased after him. "You can't! Anything you touch will die! I'll come with you in case there is any trouble. Besides, you're not exactly charming. No one will tell you anything," she tried to hide her snickers. She insisted he change his appearance for the sake of gaining information from the mortals. "This is not the time of the Greeks anymore, it's a different world. Lucky for you, there is a Gypsy camp at the entrance to the underworld now. They are known for being strange and mystical people. It's the perfect disguise!" Whatever. She wasted no time cutting off his long hair and brushing it into knots. He complained bitterly each time he yanked his hair. She tried to hide his blue skincolor, but he ended up a ridiculous looking purple instead. He thought she just wanted to dress him up like a fool for her own amusement. Really, he didn't know why he put up with her. Maybe it was because hers was the only laughter that rang throughout his gloomy existence. 

These two Caravan outfits at Fantasy Faire for girls and guys by Papermoon come a several color themes and accessories for mixing and matching. The guy velvet/leather ants come in blue, purple, green, and yellow. The tunic top comes in blue, pink, yellow, white. You can find the Papermoon store on the Fantasy Faire Blackwater Glenn. The necklace and scarf are donoations for Relay for Life. The purple skin by Niekra's Dreams and fun nail polish colors by De La Soul you can also find at Fantasy Faire. The hair is a combination of Tableau Vivant's dreadlock's Hull hair, and Wasabi Pill's Up in the Air hair. The eyeball hairbow we a past Femboy hunt prize from Atypical. Sadly, I was not able to find Atypical's inworld store.

The mischievous Persephone is being played by Aarya from the Dark Phantom blog. She did a lovely job with 3 more pictures, and a fun version of this story from her character's point of view. Don't miss it! http://aaryaphantomhive.blogspot.com/2014/05/fantasy-faire-unexpected-fate.html

In the background is part of the Kalopsia Gipsy Camp set. It comes with two beautifully textured color wagons, and seating for a guitar player or violin player.  Both pictures of Hades' adventures are taken at the Fantasy Faire sim Mourningvale Thicket. This dark mysterious gypsy theme sim is designed by Roawenwood. It's great fun to explore and I learned recently during the Place of Tears hunt the trees are red because they drink the blood of the unwary! It's the perfect secret portal to Hades' underworld.

The Demise of Ludovico Sinistrati

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Ludovico Sinistrati was the inventor of the INCUBUS steam-class robots. As brilliant and wealthy as he was, he was deeply flawed. There wasn't a single living soul he actually liked. He was obsessed with creating a "better human" from gears and bolts; a friend who would always agree with him and do his bidding without complaint. So warped was his mind, that his idea of a romantic evening involved blindfolds, cages, and metallic paint. No matter what humiliating acts the ambitious silver-painted lady endured to win his favor, he simply trusted his robots more. 

There's a hat trick of awesomeness happening right now: Sinister Steam Hunt 3, Fantasy Gacha, and We <3 Role Play August. There are so many cool things, you will definitely be inspired. I know I was! In the image above, The skybox and gun turret for freebies from the Sinister Steam Hunt. The Gun Turret by Land of  Nodd can rez, derez, and follow the movements of anyone close-by, or you can lock  it in place.  The skybox by Potpourri Designs is stuffed with goodies. I used the Lair of Plotting Dastardly Deeds skybox, and I love the music box of spooky organ music to get you in the mood for Dastardly Deeds. lol Fantasy Gacha is wonderful. High quality original mesh items for low gacha prices. For example, a harness from Dark Prophet Designs will cost you 400L. Take a change on the Gacha and it will only cost you 75L. The rare include chains. At the sweet sales in We <3 Role Play August round, the Double Hanging Cage by Roawenwood comes with a nice set of animations that will pose both cages at the same time. The Silks by Soedara, which the Silver Lady is wearing, is made in mesh and comes with a really cool mask headdress. The chains that connect the wrist to the ankle are a particule effect. The metal scale poetic shirt by the Bastard is the clothing debut of the well respected designer of Rustica. The shirt is draped realistically across the body, it's a perfect fit, I dont even need an alpha unless I bend far forward. It has gorgeous detailed texture and includes metallic materials!

STORYLINE: So what happens when the creation of a diabolic genius suddenly becomes self aware without a drop of human compassion? ... Murder is what. It was a week after the INCUBUS' insurrection when neighbors complained about a bad smell. Still perched on Sinistrati's body was his favorite pet, the SpiderBot. It was an eyewitness to the brutal murder but being a simple robot, the police overlooked it and began a manhunt for the "real" killer, the Silver Lady.

Is this barber chair cool or what?  It's by Noctis and very much in the flavor of Sweeney Todd. Love it! It comes with optional gears for the chair, a mirror, a side table and shaving bowl, and the posters on the wall. You can pick it up in the Sinister Steam Hunt. The coat I am wearing is the new Dante by Fatewear. I love this so much. It has leather materials, also comes with a shirt and tie.
