BACCHANALIA




The Black Bacchanal fair is visiting Silentsparrow, use the mushrooms to teleport from the store up to the Rookery. Several fabulous designers are offering pretties at fabulous prices, there are even a couple of Gacha machines for you gacha addicts! If you miss it you will kick yourself. Trust me. I paired Silentsparrow’s sweater with the skirt part of a dress from the Blue Blood Gacha. They didn’t quite match so I tinted the skirt, easy peasy.

Sweater: silentsparrow “Batty Knitty Sweater” (Black Bacchanal Event L$31)
Skirt: Blue Blood “Dread Purple Skirt” (tinted part of dress, L$13 Gacha)
Socks: silentsparrow “Batty Knitty Socks” (Black Bacchanal Event L$31)
Shoes: Lassitude and Ennui “Imogene Ankle Boots” (texture change buttons)
Undershirt: Whippet & Buck “Hykova Buttoned Tank” (tinted)
Hair: Exile “Laya” (the hair and the braids are two separate attachments)
Tattoos: silentsparrow “Fledermaus”
Eyes: Poetic Color “Night Rain”
Skin: vive9 “Aoki Light Dungeon” (gift)

Love,
Serene

p.s. If you haven’t been there yet, Vive9 is giving away fatpacks of vintage skins and a few clothes at their main store on the Vive Sim. You should go see. I have shown these Aoki skins before, but I also have a soft spot for them. And the Belle skins too.

RESTRAINT

I so admire restraint. Whether it is the seduction of physical restraint embodied in a corset, or emotional self-control, I admire it. (Probably because I wish I had more of it in my character. I wish I could perfectly control anger or pain or unthinking reactions.) Oh and did I mention restraint is sexy?

The sexy corset is paired with this new nightmare skirt ... The corset is sculpted and texture change with one version that has the back laces painted on, and another version with sculpted laces. Each color includes a hud that changes the texture three ways. For those of you using the beta viewer it includes a boxed version with alpha texture layer that prevents your ribs from showing through the corset when you bend or twist. ...And these sculpted skirts: I couldn't believe that the pack with all the colors of fabric was only L$300, that's usually the price for one color right? They are lovely. (The photo doesn't do them justice. You have to see how they look in three dimensions.)

Finally the lovely flower crown, which texture changes on touch to a zillion different flower and leaf colors. I got lucky combining the flowers with this hair because they fit together perfectly without any adjustment.

Shirt: PixelDolls “Duchess Top”
Undershirt: PixelDolls “Tintable Cami” (from Timepiece 001 Outfit)
Skirt: Sn@tch “Nightmare Skirt Wine” (fatpack only L$300!)
Necklace: La Gyo “Old Watch” (Designers United unavailable)

THE DANGEROUS QUEEN IMPRISONED

Where am I? Where are my trees? The night stars?

My enemy has left me here, in this grey in-between place. The most cruel punishment, to bind up my wounds and leave me ... here.

...

No sound of bird or running water.

(I couldn't resist showing you the LPP armband up close. The details on the metal are amazing, there are two versions included that are identical except for the color of the metal. Typically I prefer the silver.)

Crown: Trap “Magma Crown” (Wild Released Prize)
Pantaloons and Bandages: Trap “Hakama Pants” (includes Bandages)
Scarf: Plastik “Wasteland Scarf Sari”
Staff: Tekeli-li “Bloodlight Staff” (colorchange everything)

p.s. sorry about the coloring of the ears, I really shouldn't take photographs late at night in a darkened room.

Love,
Serene
