Weekend @ the beach house

She said she'd be here as soon as she makes a few stops...

She has to stop @ Epiphany. It's a sim full of gachas. How long can that take? (Off sim shopping, just in case)

... and the Hentai Fair? That's all kinky underwear and stuff. I like the toys and costumes she finds there.
Sounds like a win-win for both of us

... and the Secret Affair? Mermaid apparel and accessories...perfect for the beach, but I may never get to see it.  It's getting dark and she still isn't here.
I think I've lost her to SL shopping...!

Secret Affair September 15-20

You arrive to find yourself in front of a long stone stairway. Snow is falling and the mist makes it difficult to see where you're going. Suddenly you come thorough a pass and behold... SALES! Some of your favorite designers from We <3 Roleplay, the Season's Story and the Fantasy Collective are participating. There are a few gachas but most of the items are for direct sale.

Some of you who visited my build for Fantasy Gay Pride have probably come to the conclusion that I'm rather fond of traditional Scandinavian stories and the Viking way of life. You would be correct in that assessment!
It's probably a good thing that the Secret Affair event didn't open prior to FGP 2015, or I would have had to buy everything on the sim! Though the theme is listed as "The Raven", I saw much more Viking and Gorean than Gothic. (I particularly liked the tiny cradle that looks like a long ship with a mobile of runes above it from AF. It had me going all misty eyed and missing my babies.)

As it is, I was content to purchase this very nice and "as authentic as possible to render in mesh" dress from Aisling. It comes in several colors with a dark and a light undergown for each color. The turtle brooches and necklace show the usual Aisling attention to detail.

I love it! I can dump all those other Viking gowns I've accumulated over the years in SL! This one is much like the one I wore for years in the SCA and has the advantage of not looking like I'm wearing a tent, which has always been an issue with the flexi gowns.

Events for mid-May

The World Gothic Faire http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cursed/127/119/1000

 

 

 

I ran through the World Gothic Faire rather quickly, but intend to return when I have time to browse. For those whose lifestyle is on the dark side, this is a great opportunity to do some shopping and to meet kindred spirits.
I ran into Morning Star at Club Gothica in the center of the Faire and she posed for me. It's a little disconcerting when my roommate can totally rock the Goth look so easily- who knew?

If you didn't get your fill of fantasy items at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival, check out Secret Affair. There are gachas here, but it also features lots of items designed specifically for sale at the event.

The nice folks at Secret Affair are very big on recycling, so depending upon which info vender one clicks, you might get info and LMs for the November 2014 or the March 2015 rounds, but I couldn't find one with the dates for the current round.  It opened May 15, so if it runs two weeks as the other rounds have done, I'm guessing it will end May 30th.

 

Gypsy tunic is available at this round of SA from !CD (Cellar Door). I was wearing my Faun armored legs from !CD and the top worked perfectly with them. I also bought the matching nomad skirt (not shown)
