Making Memories with [QE]

Memorial Day Weekend marks the first "official" weekend of Summer in the US. 
Originally dedicated to those who died in active military service, it has become a day to remember not only those who gave the ultimate service, but all who protect and serve as well as their families.

For many of us, this means heading to the beach or mountains and memories of family get togethers. 

[QE] Designs and [QE] Home has lots of items on sale this weekend to help you make your own memories. They're participating in TSS, Wanderlust and a couple of other sales you won't want to miss.
Everything in the pictures except for the couch and my jewelry is from [QE] and, of course, everything comes with multiple colors and textures in the huds.

Have a safe and happy weekend!

Burtonesque Beauty

In case you missed the memo, SL has gone Burtonesque.
I put together a look that combined the Corpse Bride
with Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd. 
Introducing Emily Lovett, your friendly local dead girl.


Of course, my character hasn't just been languishing around the graveyard since the 1800s. She's wearing the latest style from Le'La which you can find @ Designer Showcase *. The lacy sleeves and leg warmers combine with frilly shorts and heels for the perfect look for the modern dead girl. There are 20 colors in the hud so girls of all sorts can mix and match to their heart's delight. 


My decorating scheme is right out of a Burton movie with lots of black, white, spots and graphic designs. The bendy Lydia Bookcase on the right and the Rugs, Pumpkins and Blanket Basket are all from [QE] Home **. Each piece features a touch menu to personalize them as you wish in black, white, purple and teal. You'll find the [QE] items as well as most of the other decorating pieces shown in the pictures @ this month's Enchanted Event

  • And just in case you lost count, it is only 165 days till Hallowe'en!

Fantasy Faire 2022 Something for the Guys


No Fantasy Faire would be complete without a nod to the creators who specifically create items for male avatars. 
Showing just some of the looks that I particularly liked this year


It is extremely difficult at the best of times to find clothing for guys . 
There is good male clothing out there, but you really have to hunt for it. 
Fantasy gear tends to be limited to belts and greaves with the occasional kilt. 


Hats off to the many Fantasy Faire creators who produced outfits and 
accessories to fit male body types. 


Click HERE to see the Fantasy Faire Men's Shopping Guide. Check it out, 
but don't hesitate get to the stores quickly because Fantasy Faire ENDS May 8 !

Fantasy Faire 2022 Opet

What do you do at Fantasy Faire? Part 5

We find Family. I have spent more time in Opet than in any of the other regions of Fantasy Faire 2022, partly because I have a great interest in ancient Egypt and I am mesmerized by the feeling of timeless beauty of the region, but mostly because there is such a feeling of shared JOY among the Fallen Gods family, many of whom have shops in the region. 


Whether one was interested in learning about the Egyptian gods by doing the Thoth's Apprentice Hunt, rocking out at the Jail and Bail, or just looking for silly fun such as the Dinkie Cleocatra and Purrhotep Flash Mob, which took place during the Literacy Festival tour on Thursday, it happened in Opet.

Fantasy skins and tattoos from Fallen Gods are complimented by clothing, landscaping and accessories from the other shops in Opet. Even the Safe Waters Foundation fits in when one remembers how important the Nile was, and is, to the culture.

Skin ~ Fallen Gods Nut and Geb the LE Jail and Bail skins for 2022 *
