Autumn Thorn

I'dolen vanim.

It's high time that I broke my Elven love again. Be it D&D, Tolkien, etc. I find elves absolutely beautiful creatures and they typically have equally wonderful lore to match. Elves however have always been a touchy subject for me though, considering the mockery you see of them that typically look like mundane humans with ridiculous ears. Pointed ears does not an elf make. For mine I went with a classic combination of black hair and grey eyes.

Now when I was formulating my elf, it just so happened that I was taken on as a blogger for JOLI's beautiful new products for Skin Fair. Her Justine skin (bare) had such the perfect facial features I could not resist, then seeing it in her vampire tone my jaw dropped- There was the perfect basis for creating an elf. Justine will be available in 9 tones (Alabaster, Bronze, Cafe, Cream, Pale, Rosy, Sunkissed, Tan, & Vampire), each including a variety of makeup layer options and appliers of course! I definitely recommend grabbing Justine at the Skin Fair, for she's a steal of a deal while she's there. Ears were quite the quick hunt, but choosing a befitting adornment was difficult- Until my eyes laid upon Zibska's Bliss set. It's available for We <3 Role-play (March 4-31), coming in 8 colors for the main, accent, and orbit. It's a beautiful set, absolutely perfect for fantasy roleplayers.

An Essence of Magick

Look around, open your eyes, and the magick all around us will be reveal to you!

This post initially was inspired by the beautiful jewelry of Keystone. The creator makes some beautifully crafted, 100% original mesh jewelry that makes my fantasy side sing in delight. I sat for a while unsure of how I would style it, but looking at cStar Limited's shelves, I picked up a skin that I positively fell in love with. With hair from Moon {hair}, eyes from Clemm, and a dress from Sn@tch, I was set and ready to go with one thought in my head-- Purple. So with that inspiration, I posed up at one of my favorite locations. Something however was... just missing. It wasn't until my friend Degra's picture popped up in my Flickr feed that I remembered: ELF EARS! (Degra makes so many ears, noses, and other neat stuff!) I grabbed a pair he made, popped them on, colored them, and was good to go. The shutters of my camera sounded and here we are.

Fairest Of Them All...

Real life has thrown me a curve-ball this week and to cheer myself up I decided I would do a hunt. I already knew about the FOTA hunt through cStar which has a special tone of the newest skin, Omega, as one of the hunt prizes, but when my friend showed me rainbow gauged elf ears were one of the other prizes... Well I knew I was gonna have to start really hunting. I must say, I found more than a few things I loved and just had to have! Below are pictured just a handful of my spoils of the hunt!

I'm not quite sure why I love quote shirts but I do! I own quite a few in RL as well as SL so when I saw these shirts from [SHIPWRECKED] I knew that I had to have them! The rainbow pierced elf ears go without saying since I am a rainbow whore, and the cStar skin just fed to my addiction as well as my almost empty wallet. And who doesn't love a good spooky forest background? Especially with Halloween coming up I knew this was a must grab! While the FOTA hunt isn't a free hunt, at 5L$ a shoe (the hunt object), it is more than worth it to find them and get these great gifts.
