Secret chamber

It is mine – the little chamber,
Mine alone.
I had it from my forbears
Years agone.

The lights are dim in this little refuge where I spend my hours. Sunrise often finds me here after many a sleepless night, surrounded by the flasks, the books, and the ghosts.

Yet within its walls I see
A most motley company,
And they one and all claim me
As their own.

Quotes: “The inner room”, poem by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930)

Thoughts of grey tombstone

Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness- for then
The spirits of the dead, who stood
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.

The fog dims the lights and even the sounds of your footsteps on the cobblestone. It’s hard not to give in to the dread in the air, not to clutch your skirts extra hard, not to constantly look over your shoulder at every turn. Was that a flashing lamp at the corner of your eye? Or perhaps… something else, following your breath, clinging to your hat, feeding off your growing fear?

The night, though clear, shall frown,
And the stars shall not look down
From their high thrones in the Heaven
With light like hope to mortals given,
But their red orbs, without beam,
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee for ever.

Quotes: “Spirits of the dead”, poem by Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)

Ay de mí…

No sé qué tienen las flores, Llorona,
las flores del camposanto,
Que cuando las mueve el viento, Llorona,
parece que están llorando…

I don’t know what’s in the flowers, Llorona,
the flowers from the graveyard,
That when the wind sways them, Llorona,
they appear to be weeping…

No creas que porque canto, ay Llorona,
tengo el corazón alegre,
También de dolor se canta, Llorona,
cuando llorar no se puede.

Just because I sing, oh Llorona,
don’t think that my heart is joyful,
We also sing from our sorrows, Llorona,
when we can no longer weep.

Dicen que no tengo duelo, Llorona,
porque no me ven llorar.
Hay muertos que no hacen ruido, Llorona,
y es más grande su penar

They say that I’m not mourning, Llorona,
because they don’t see me crying.
Some dead make no noises, Llorona,
and their sorrow is even greater

Quotes: “La Llorona”, Mexican folk song, various authors (poorly translated by me)

Xica the Queen

Do ceu das Geráis a mais linda estrela                 The most beautiful star in the skies of Geráis
Do Tijuco a princesa, me chame de alteza!         The princess of Tijuco, call me ‘your highness’!
Anjo, diabo e mulher                                                 Angel, devil, and woman
Negro diamante, sou Xica da Silva                       Black diamond, I’m Chica da Silva

They say that Chica was the most beautiful woman that João Fernandes, the young new governor of Tijuco, had ever seen. His passion defied the scandal, the frowns and the whispers. Hated and feared, envied and praised, all bow now to queen Chica.

They say that her luxurious dresses could have been the envy of the court of Versailles. Here she wears the sumptuous Le Carnivale Baroque Gown, one of the latest creations by Silvan Moon, which you can find at We ❤ RP until the end of July. It’s absolutely exquisite, with wonderful rigging that reacts like heavy skirts would, and gorgeous hand painted textures.

While at We ❤ RP, you can also find a wonderful bathing set: Simple Life, by The Roawenwood, including a bath tub, side table, and a massage table. As usual with {RW}, you can expect this set to bring cool, natural animations, single and couples.

Mas pro meu senhor amado                                But for my beloved lord
Meu amor é ouro no cascalho                             My love is like flecks of gold in stone
Anjo, diabo e mulher                                               Angel, devil, and woman
Negro diamante, sou Xica da Silva                     Black diamond, I’m Chica da Silva

Playing her parchment moon

The starless silence,
fleeing from her rhythmic tambourine,
falls where the sea whips and sings,
his night filled with silvery swarms.

We all rise to the music that calls for us, tambourines mark the beat, and a guitar brings the known old song under the insistence of his expert hands. The dance marries the song, timid at first, then lively and bright.

The fabrics of our garments flutter in the wind. These are the beautiful Song of Shaharazad Gowns, one of the latest creations by Silvan Moon, which you can find exclusively at We ❤ RP until the end of May.

These beautiful dancers are wearing it in blue and purple, but there are other colors available, and they will be reduced during the event. Fitted for Slink Physique and Maitreya Lara, the textures are exquisite as usual, and the rigging is wonderful, even if you swing your body to the rhythm.

Copper and silver gleam on delightful bistred skins, shining under a friendly moon. I’m wearing the beautiful Spellbound set, by Zuri Jewelry. One of Zuri’s timeless collections, this is a new Elite version: I can choose several colors of gems, pearl, and metal. I’m also wearing the matching Spellbound Elite engagement ring.

The beautiful Vardo – Romani wagons on the background are a fantastic creation by Anachron, and they’re waiting for you at The Chapter Four, only for a couple more days.

Available in three different colors and splendid designs, these wagons are also scripted to make you feel at home. You can open and close windows, blinds, and doors, there are different single and cuddling animations, and the fire in the furnace can be lit on and off. Perfect to snuggle, hang out, or take a little nap.

Dreamland

When midnight mists are creeping,
And all the land is sleeping,
Around me tread the mighty dead,
And slowly pass away.

I won’t lie to you. It will hurt. This isn’t the magical dreamland that you were fantasizing about, and I will make sure that you learn that. Let me guide you through the gate.

This amazing Underworld Gate is a super cool teleporter created by Anachron for Genre. It’s resizable and comes with easy instructions to set it up on your land. The gate circle is, of course, animated and it looks fantastic.

The gown is the absolutely stunning Light of Sarin by Silvan Moon, fit for a queen indeed. I can’t sing enough praises about this gown. It comes in various strong colors at the Fantasy Faire, about which I’ve been bragging all week, and it will also be available in pastel colors very soon at We

Even though the gown includes a head piece, tonight I’m wearing the marvelous Lilith Head Dress, a dark dream of black roses and emeralds, and one of the latest releases by Zuri Jewelry. It’s available at the store in various gem tones. I’m also wearing the Snowflake Choker by Zuri, gem/metal changing, and… it could come scripted for Open Collar…

The blaze of noonday splendour,
The twilight soft and tender,
May charm the eye: yet they shall die,
Shall die and pass away.

Singing only for your eyes

Manhã, tão bonita manhã                       Morning, such a beautiful morning
Na vida, uma nova canção                      In life, a new song
Cantando só teus olhos                            Singing only for your eyes
Teu riso, tuas mãos…                                Your smile, your hands…

Because there will be a day when you will return…

At last, the Spring remembered this cold corner of the world, and a playful sun poured joy and warmth all around.

It’s time to leave those heavy garments behind and walk on this beautiful silky, flowy, and delicate Rhapsody gown. This is the last creation of Silvan Moon, found exclusively at We RP until the end of April. Fitted for Slink and Maitreya and available in a few sweet tones, this light dress will be reduced during the event.

My jewelry comes from -you guessed it- Zuri Jewelry. The adorable floral tiara that I wear is the Elite version of the Nahla Floral Crown (not available yet, but coming soon!). It allows you to choose the color of the pearls and metals. Here I chose the same Blue Fire Opal of my Tender Heart collection, also by Zuri.

Das cordas do meu violão                            From my guitar strings
Que só teu amor procurou                           That only wanted your love
Vem uma voz                                                  Comes a voice
Falar dos beijos perdidos                             Talking about kisses
Nos lábios teus                                               Lost in your lips

My heart sings, joy has return on the morning of your love…

Seek and Destroy

There is no escape and that’s for sure
This is the end, we won’t take any more
Say goodbye to the world you live in
You’ve always been taking but now you’re giving

You’re the prey tonight. You’ve been the owner of this forest for way too long, but it’s our turn. You may run if you want, but your desperate strides will only lead you to me. I smell your fear in the air and I hunger for your blood.

This ferocious hunter is wearing the wonderful Ranger of Islavare outfit, an exclusive release for the current round of We ❤ RP by the awesome Silvan Moon. If you still don’t know Silvan Moon, suffice to say that you get impeccable original mesh by Blue Moon, combined with exquisite, hand painted textures by The White Armory. It comes in standard sizes and also fitted versions for Maitreya and Slink Physique.

My hair is Leotie, by EMO-tions, also exclusive for We ❤ RP, necklace included. Because it’s the December round, the spirits of winter left a bunch of awesome gifts under the trees there. For example, the awesome drow skin I rock, the face paint, and the powerful battle axe that my hunter carries.

Our brains are on fire with the feeling to kill
And it won’t go away until our dreams are fulfilled
There is only one thing on our minds
Don’t try running away ’cause you’re the one we will find

Quotes: Excerpts from the song “Seek & Destroy” by Metallica.

Into the unknown alone

“There was a deliberate voluptuousness which was both thrilling and repulsive, and as she arched her neck she actually licked her lips like an animal, till I could see in the moonlight the moisture shining on the scarlet lips and on the red tongue as it lapped the white sharp teeth. Lower and lower went her head. I closed my eyes in a languorous ecstasy and waited.”

Inspired in the classic of Bram Stoker, today I want to show you this couples street lamp post by Roawenwood, exclusively released at The Fantasy Collective. This round was very suggestive, full of kinks and seduction.

This lamp post is simply beautiful. It can be the perfect complement for a Victorian or vintage atmosphere, with high quality and realistic detail. And yes… sexy… it has single and couple poses, from sweet cuddles to bondage, and the menu allows you to control the poses that your partner will adopt as well as yours.

This round of The Fantasy Collective is practically over (the sim is still up, so if you hurry, you may catch it!), but you can find this wonderful lamp post afterwards at the Roawenwood main store.

There was something about them that made me uneasy, some longing and at the same time some deadly fear. I felt in my heart a wicked, burning desire that they would kiss me with those red lips.

A Song with Swords

Tonight I’m gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world I’ll turn it inside out – yeah
And floating around in ecstasy
So don’t stop me now don’t stop me…

Her life was a whirlwind of duels, seduction, grave-robbing, and convent-burning so intense that she had to be pardoned by the king of France TWICE. So is an introduction to the life of Julie d’Aubigny, in the words of Jason Porath.

Around her early 20’s, this girl was an opera diva known as La Maupin, who could duel any man with her sword and win the favors of any suitor… man or woman. I chose to cosplay this badass -and somewhat sociopathic- lady in both her facets.

She was the rock star of her time, and here she wears one of the latest creations of Silvan Moon, the Divine Regency gown in midnight tones. This gown is Blue Moon original mesh and The White Armory hand painted textures, in the new line I introduced in my last post. She also rocks Zuri Jewelry’s Madeline Set in cobalt blue.

Out of the stage, la Maupin gave fierce dueling demonstrations, usually dressed as a man, and her talent with the sword was so, that her fans had trouble believing she was a woman. Here she wears the matching outfit of the Divine Regency gown, the Earl of Regent doublet, also created by Silvan Moon. Designed for SL male shapes, I knew that I wanted to cosplay la Maupin as soon as I saw it. I’m wearing the fitmesh version on a male shape, altered to look as androgynous as possible. You can find both at this round of We ❤ RP!
