What's This?!

 

As I wandered in a door, I noticed white flakes falling. Is this what I think it is?!

AVAgirl made this very warm and stunning dress I am wearing. When I put it on I couldn't help but feel like Belle from Beauty and the Beast. This gown is called, Medieval Royal Winter Coat, and is an exclusive to the SL Renaissance Festival. Now I have been showing ya'll items from this festival for the past few days, but in case you didn't know the SL Renaissance Festival is an annual fundraising event which raises funds for the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. It runs until October 6th, 2024.

Now back to this winter coat. It comes with a color HUD that features 1 of 8 beautiful winter shades, as well as a hood that can be tricky to fit with some hairs, but if you are like me, you have hair bases and bangs and it fits perfectly with those, you don't even notice you have no hair on because the hood sits close to the head. This winter coat is rigged for Reborn, Maitreya, Legacy, Belleza Isis and Freya, and SLink Physique and Hourglass. In the AD, Lilac (owner of AVAgirl) is wearing the coat on LaraX and it fits as well, but remember demos are your best friend when available. Not only do you get the coat you also get the beautiful necklace. This necklace is unrigged and features a diamond drop.

The following is NOT a part of the festival.

My backdrop is a SATO creation called White Forest Doors. There are 8 different textures to choose from for your needs.

Little Travelers

Even the little guys need to be safe on their journeys.

The following items are a part of the SL Renaissance Festival. It runs from September 26, 2024 until October 6th, 2024. The SL Renaissance Festival is an annual fundraising event which raises funds for the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

Esoterica made my little snail riders and my loyal knights. The little snail riders are a mouse riding a snail. These riders are animated and when clicked you can set the radius they move as well as set their homes and turn them on/off. The knights are animated when touched as well but they stand tall and bend down to take a kneel. Both items are mesh and resizable so take caution when resizing as it will change the prim count.

History Design made the jesters in the back. These jesters are called Tricksy and are animated jesters that are animesh and resizable. Like the other items when resized the prim count will change. These jesters when clicked will stand there or will animated in a frustrated motion. You can wear this jester as well if you need a frustrated jester to show everyone how upset you are.

[Harshlands] made my really cool statues that the jesters are guarding. These statues are called Renfest Statue and features a maiden holding a flag and a mini castle. These statues come in a light version and a dark version and are mesh.

Eclectica made the Medieval Sconce that I am using on the statues and the dragon guarded rock formation. These sconces can be used to add some interest and light to any dark wall. The sconce emits a gentle warm light and come in both black and rustic versions.

DT&T Designs made the dragon guard rock. It is called Look Out Below! and rightfully so. When clicked the dragon spits out fire at any unsuspecting person. It includes the 2 rock walls, the animated dragon, the white tree, and some grass on the base.

Raising Her Army

 

As I walk through the cemetery and on my way to Spooky month, I start to raise my army of skeletons to walk with me.

My outfit I am wearing is by AVAgirl and is a Swank Event exclusive. This outfit is called Riley and features a skirt, tube top with a belt, a jacket, and gloves. All items can be worn apart or together as 1 piece. It is all rigged for Reborn, Reborn Waifu, LaraX, Legacy, Legacy Perky, and Legacy Pinup Bombshell. The items come with a color HUD that lets you change each piece to 1 of 16 colors plus 2 metal colors. Swank Event runs until September 30th, 2024. After the event of course it'll be in store and on Marketplace, but why wait when you can get a deal at the event.

My stompers are from Diamante and are exclusive to GothCore. GothCore runs until October 12th, 2024. These stompers are just under the knee and are rigged for Maitreya, LaraX, GenX Classic/Curvy/Dainty, Kupra, Peach, Reborn, and Signature Alice. They come in a glitter pack, satin pack, or a fatpack. They each have a color HUD that features 15 color choices, with the fatpack having both satin and glitter options. Along with the color choices, all the HUDs also give the option to change the threads and stitches in the same 15 colors. If that wasn't enough you get 4 sole options (which not gonna lie is my favorite part) that lets you put a pentagram, lips, heart, or remove it all at the side corner of the soles. All the HUDS also come with a full bright on the treads and stitches as well.

If that wasn't enough, I am giving a preview of Diamante's items that are exclusive to the Haunting Labyrinth: Terror Trail hunt. This hunt starts Oct 1st, 2024 and runs until the 31st. You will start at the Entrance Gate, where you'll find a grand sponsor display and grab your Hunt HUD to join their FREE hunt. As you navigate the maze, you'll discover hidden treats from their talented designers, with jumps and scares to give you a true Halloween experience. I am wearing the septum and the horns from this awesome hunt. They are a part of the Kazam set that features hoop earrings, horns, and the septum with lip (in the case you are wearing EvoX it is a forehead which I do not mind at all) upside down cross tattoo. All comes with their own HUDs. For the horns I am wearing you get a v1 and a v2 option. Version 2 is only for the hunt. You get the option to change the left and the right horn independently. They come with 15 band colors, 4 independent surfaces on each horn, full bright with the on/off toggle, glow option, 4 metals for the chains and tips of the horn, 4 leather options, 4 horn base leathers, and also the option (which I am using) to hide the base. The septum's HUD gives you 15 metal options, a glow option, full bright on/off toggle, and of course not in the HUD is the black BOM only lip (or forehead) tattoo.

My backdrop is from Sato and is called, Skeleton Horrors. It features 1 of 8 different backdrop textures that you can use for your photo adventures.

Surprise Visitor

 

After a long night at a gala in Greece, I came back to my hotel to see a surprise visitor. Who knew my girlfriend would show up unannounced. I think I scared her when I walked up though hehe

My dress I wore to the Gala is by AVAgirl and is the Cassandra dress. This is an older release, but still quite stunning. It features a tank crop top and a mermaid high slit skirt. The skirt is held together by a chain. This dress comes in 2 different color packs, a light pack and a dark pack, but also comes in a fatpack too. It is rigged for Reborn, Waifu, LaraX, Legacy, and Legacy Perky. Each pack comes with a color HUD that features 6 different colors for the top and skirt so you can mix and match. The fatpack comes with 4 additional colors as well. You also get 8 chain colors to choose from.

The shoes I am holding are also from AVAgirl and are the Cassandra Heels. These heels compliment the gown amazingly. They come with a color HUD that features 22 different colors and are rigged for Reborn, Maitreya, and Legacy. Of course, as you know Maitreya and LaraX do share the same shoes.

The pose I am using is from piXit and is the Shoe Me pose. This is a bento pose pack that has 7 different poses plus mirrors of those poses. It does include a Pose stand as well as the pose animations. You get a pump prop that is rigged for Legacy and Reborn. I of course used the Cassandra heel instead.
