Orcs are Great Defenders

There is a whirring in the air, the sound that could be mistaken for many things as it floats on the breeze, but it is infact the doors of the Engine Room having been thrown open and the purring of the engine lulling across the land of Second Life... The Engine Room isn't a place for everyone, not everyone can handle the post-Apocalypse lifestyle... 
When you have a place in this post-Apocalypse world, you have to really cling on to it and fight whatever comes your way to try and take it from you.. Prime real estate is hard to find, and even harder to keep... 

I have been able to commandeer one of the best locations in this post-Apocalyptic world... The Dead Zone Arcade - from Synnergy.Tavis available until March 28th at Cake Day - is now my home zone, I've set up a camp with a perfectly warm fire, and released my little robotic friend from her safe space in my pocket... 
There was a very strange creaking after a while, and suddenly one of the old arcade games burst open, the characters of the game spilling out into the light and making themselves at home around my fire. How could I refuse the cute little Orc Boiz - from Tardfish at Chronicles & Legends until April 1st - a place at the fire if they are more than willing to helpf fight for our base!!

Monarchs and Sunbeams

I've been thinking about the creepy crawlies lately, and Spiders and Butterflies have both taken the spotlight lately, I have a massive love for butterflies and on trips to the zoo I always feel like my favourite place to see is the butterfly house.... 
So whilst I've been busy working and doing things that make me feel like I am worn out in RL, I've been taking some time to explore and one of my new favourite places happens to be the most gorgeous butterfly filled space I've ever seen in Secondlife... 

The Kaleidoscope is a gorgeous new Monarch Education Project location, created for the purpose of teaching people about the lifecycle, the migration and the habits of Monarch Butterflies. When you arrive, you are taught interesting facts, things like the sad fact that those butterflies start their migration are not the ones that arrive at their final destination as their lifecycle is shorter than their trip... As you follow the path around and down, the trees become the homes for millions of beautiful fire coloured Monarch Butterflies... 
I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of this sim... It is a peaceful and relaxing and serene place to spend time when you want to breathe. 
I can't help myself but join in the butterfly fun... I remembered that Forest Fantasy Store had made the most amazing bodypaints, and with the addition of a gorgeous Belle Epoque outfit and Nymph Circlet - from Six Feet Under at Chronicles & Legends - I became one the Monarchs and started dancing in the sunbeams...

A Pirate's Treasure can also come in Barrels!

When you think of pirates and their drinking habits, most people will tell you that they were rum drinks, and that's mostly the fault of Captain Sparrow, but I would imagine they'd drink anything that packed a punch and that they could get their hands on... Beer, Wine, Rum... Perhaps even Moonshine if they could find it?! That's why running a pirate bar, you've gotta be able to cater to all tastes... 

At the Bearded Guy's Bohemian Bar, our little wench was found in the basement by the hidden entrance to the dockyard sorting the newly, delivered barrels of booze. Being a bar wench, that likes to make sure the patrons are happy, some of these barrels will be set up to form a "Barrel Bed" structure - which is a release from Krescendo at Kinky... We cater to all of our guests needs, some of them spend a long time at sea!!

I feel like getting dressed up, perhaps in something super pretty that sparkles and is soft and sexy all at once... I might even slip into something a little different for me colour-wise, but then it's half the fun of playing dress up isn't it?!

Tiny Little Mushroom Fairy

So yesterday when the evil looking Sprite disappeared from the doorway into the fairy kingdom I did something bad... I stepped through the door into a world of Chronicles and Legends to find a little magic... 
The world is enchanting, and I'm sure there will be many more trips through the door...
The first being that I encountered happened to be an adorable little fairy with more than a tiny love for mushrooms. The pretty red and white kind, that always make me smile, and she invited me to take a seat and have some tea... 

Her little glade is filled with the gorgeous Red and White Mushrooms - ranging from the giant crystal adorned ones from Granola at Equal10, to the Fancy ones that match the amazing Mushroom Throne from Boudoir - I've never seen so many in one place. She even has the most adorable little Mushroom Head - from Ananas - as a hat!!! While her Seelie Gossamer Wings - amazing wings by the brilliant Celeste - fluttered as the sparkles in the air drifted through the flowers... 
While I'm talking about the wings I have a confession... These beautiful wings are the Seelie Bento Wings from Celeste that are now available at Chronicles and Legends Event - where a LOT of the items in this post came from I should add - BUT I used the hud that comes with them to colour them slightly to fit with my colour scheme... I wanted to show how gorgeous they are without the colouring changes I made, so I'm going to add the store ad and let you see for yourself!!! They are SO pretty!!
