Ripped…..

The human mind delights in grand conceptions of supernatural beings. And the sea is precisely their best vehicle, the only medium through which these giants (against which terrestrial animals, such as elephants or rhinoceroses, are as nothing) can be produced or developed - Jules Verne, 20,000 Leagues under the sea




Science, my lass, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth. Jules Verne

 

The Nautilus was piercing the water with its sharp spur, after having accomplished nearly ten thousand leagues in three months and a half, a distance greater than the great circle of the earth. Where were we going now, and what was reserved for the future? Jules Verne




We were alone. Where, I could not say, hardly imagine. All was black, and such a dense black that, after some minutes, my eyes had not been able to discern even the faintest glimmer. Jules Verne

 

I hope you will forgive my lapse into Verneness but this Sim, Nemo is pretty amazing. These outfits are by Beautifully Sinister of Ripped and when I dropped into her store during the Faire I knew I wanted to blog some of her clothes. They fall into the Fantasy style but for me I have always loved crossing over in genres, hence the unusual locale. The store features a lovely variety of RP, Gorean, and Medieval Clothing both for females and males. Shoes, accessories and tatts as well. I will be showing you an example of the male clothing soon and I can tell you it’s pretty hot (think braveheart … ). I must also add that I am wearing the new Lionheart skins from Akea Rieko of the Plastik. You will be seeing a full review of these lovelies next week.

The Casual Gardener

I will be the gladdest thing under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
-  Edna St. Vincent Millay

 

Now is the time of year when we, in this part of the planet, start haunting Gardening Centres. After a long (and this year not as bad) winter we are dying to plant, fertilize and weed (the weeding is not my favourite part). I found these pieces in my inventory and loved the casual dressy look. I am also enjoying Dutch Touch’s new Keira Skin and Exile’s new hair Sadie. Pants are by DYN, Top is DK Designs and shoes are by Shiny Things. I like the fact that though the shirt is well detailed, it has no added prim pieces. The pants are simple but well rendered. The shoes match well to the clothes and are the kind that I can see myself wearing both in SL and RL.

RFL Mer-Elf

Today I am showing you a few of the RFL items from Morgaine Price of Mer-Elf Creations. All of these items are exclusive to the fair (though Morgaine has said that she may keep the RFL vendors up in her store for a little while after). That said, they are all available in different colours in her store. She is also opening a new store which she is now setting up for an opening date of May 1st.

Yesterday I found myself walking through the Mer Sim of the Fantasy Faire. This is one of the largest areas, with lots of fins, coral and underwater accessories for sale. When I rented land in the Elven sims, I was lucky to have an area that I could make into a small Mer haven, with coral and fish and a little shell seat.


Below are some of the other pieces for the Fantasy Fair, RFL… Very pretty! When I visited the store Morgaine was having a sale as well . One of the issues with a short fair is that for Bloggers it’s difficult to show everything before the event is over. I enjoy seeing new stores and at this point have not even seen all of the Sims!!
