I'm loving the new 'Hailey' gamer girl v2 outfits by Foxes & Grixdale at the current round of The Epiphany!! There are 2 machines to play, depending what colour sets take your fancy! One machine is mostly bodysuits like the one I'm wearing, and the other machine contains hoodies, each with matching trainers&socks combos, wings and headphones. It's all fitted for Maitreya Lara and I love the tip-toe trainers styled for Maitreya high feet!

Toast have a new release at the current round of Suicide Dollz - 'Claw Gloves'! These are fitted for female Vista bento Prohands and there are 4 gloves colour options with 14 nail colour options! They are tintable too. Additionally, you get the option of short or long nails. 

The annual Pose Fair is where you'll find this wicked bike full of edgy action poses by Poseidon! There are 13 poses and most of the poses contain mirror versions too! Also included are some props (not shown) for use with a few of the poses!

A Bug's Adventure - A Fantasy Faire Story

The 2017 Fantasy Faire is here!

This wonderful event brings 15 beautifully crafted sims full of fantasy and roleplay styled creations, many of which generously donate to Relay for Life and benefit the American Cancer Society. Read more about the Faire and it's cause here.

Now, in traditional Faire spirit, it's time for a story...
(scroll to bottom for main picture credits)

Once upon a time, in a land called The Hill, Bumblebee and Ladybug sat amongst the flowers. 

Bumblebee decided it was too nice a day to sit still, she wanted to explore. She'd heard music in the distance and wanted to find out what the world offered outside of her meadow hills. So, with a wave and farewell to Ladybug, off she flew from the land she knew.

The flight took Bumblebee to peaceful town, full of colourful trees and blossom on the breeze. Dawn's Promise was it's name, with it's grand buildings fallen somewhat into disrepair but with new life emerging everywhere from the glistening water springs.

On and on the Bumblebee flew towards the fine buildings and glorious gardens in the distance. To The Rose.

Unedited Picture - The Rose

Up and up Bumblebee flew, past splendid balconies and illustrious buildings to the garden above. There she met and rested by a Lion, whom carried an important message.

Unedited Picture - The Rose

"...It is the courage to continue that counts", Bumblebee read.

She had not succeeded in finding the music yet, but she would be courageous and carry on her journey.

So away Bumblebee flew, back onto the current of the breeze to see where it would take her next.

The skies grew dark as the landscape changed, shadows gathering around Bumblebee. Was that a note of a song she heard?

Unedited Picture - Morbus

"This is Morbus", the shadows whispered, as Bumblebee took in the dark landscape of thorns and chaos.

"Answers come to those who seek them out, those who wish to take on The Quest", the shadows continued. 

But Bumblebee was already on her own quest, and again she took flight and found a place unlike any she had seen before. 

San Mora

Amongst the rubble and ruin, the chaos and burned-out fires, Bumblebee watched the few who remained in the city. She followed them through the alleyways of this concrete jungle, reading many of the messages that had been left behind. 

San Mora was the name of the place, Bumblebee discovered. A pharmaceutical capitol quarantined at the outbreak of a deadly contagion of its own making, the population was left to survive the best they could. 

This could not be the source of the beautiful music Bumblebee had heard. 

She had to escape this forlorn looking place and fast...

Unedited Picture - San Mora

At last she found the road out of town, she flew towards the light and into the setting sun.

Unedited Picture - Kakushi Pasu

 Bumblebee took a deep breath and smelled flowers and blossom on the breeze once again.

The music grew louder as Bumblebee approached the sanctuary of Kakushi Pasu. 

All around her lanterns danced, water flowed and Faire-goers celebrated. 

Bumblebee had found the home of Faireland parties and the Literary Festival.

Bumble watched on as people danced and performed, but soon grew wary as she realised she had been out all day and dusk was fast approaching. 

Unedited Picture - Kakushi Pasu

Bumble flew up to the highest lookout point, dancing around the glitter and blossoms. 

And there in the distance she spotted her home.

With a smile on her face, she flew to The Hill. 

Unlike Bumblebee, you can check out the full calendar of events taking place in the Fairelands over the next 10 days here. 

A big thank you to Kynne Llewellyn, who starred as the Ladybug in the top pic! You can see her version of the picture here. 

Kynne also took an amazing close-up of me on set, check it out here for a closer look at Glam Affair's 'Bloom' makeup.

Spring in Bloom

Wishing you all happy Springtime and Easter Weekend!
Glam Affair has some 'blooming' gorgeous makeup appliers for Lelutka Bento mesh heads to get you in the mood for Spring, on release soon as a gacha at the upcoming Bloom event (opens April 15th). The makeup in the picture is from the Rare set, which includes the white floral eye makeup and 5 pastel lip glosses. There are also 7 lipstick packs (2 colours in each), 3 blushes and 7 colourful floral eye makeups to play for as common prizes. 

Glam Affair also has a new skin release for the new round of Kustom 9, called 'Kinga'. She is available in 10 skin tones, each with 7 brow colours and no brow option, 8 lip colours and 8 eye makeups. 

Lelutka have released an update on their bento heads in the last couple of days to include eyes! There is a new panel on the HUD for eye options, which includes 6 colours plus specular options. The eyes are omega compatible as well as using Lelutka's own applier scripts. The eyes are attached separately so you have the choice whether to use them or your own. To get your update version, just wear your Lelutka 2.6 head. 

Speaking of update's - Maitreya finally updated the Lara mesh body to version 4.0 with bento hands. There are 14 hands poses included in your new HUD, as well as 2 new nail shapes and an option to remove nails. 
As a personal preference, I like these bento hands much much more than the SLink bento update. I think they are a lot smoother and more refined looking, and less 'blocky' looking than the SLink. I also think they are more natural looking than Vista, so Maitreya is definitely a winner for me and well worth the wait!

Also, Astralia worked super quick to update both pack 1 and 2 of her compatible nails system to now include Maitreya fit nails. If you've already purchased them, go to the re-delivery terminal instore to update. 

The Spring round of The Season's Story is here and Astralia are taking part with this pretty new ring set, made for Maitreya, Vista and SLink bento hands. A HUD is included allowing you to choose silver or gold, as well as which rings you prefer to show or hide (full set worn in pic). 

Below I decided as a last minute addition to this post to show all 3 bento hands (so please excuse the crappy posing and angle, it's late here!). 
The Maitreya and Vista hands are posed in the same position using the Maitreya HUD (yep, Vista hands work on Maitreya HUD hand poses). The SLink hands are the 'Casual' pose. All are shown with Maitreya Lara 4.0 mesh body.

Vintage Macabre

I am in LOVE with the very cool new bento prosthetic hands by *katat0nik* at this month's round of Collabor88. I'm always a fan of prosthesis and I was super excited to see bento hands that had a real vintage/doll look to them! There are 5 different choices aavailable and each comes with 2 versions - with or without the wrist wrap. The female versions are Maitreya and SLink fit, plus there are SLink fit make versions available too!

I thought they went really well with the recently updated 'Vintage Set' by Pixicat. This was an old fave of mine and I was really pleased to see a free update available with several mesh body sizes included - just go to the redelivery terminal instore for the update or available to purchase in mainstore too!

The hosiery is by Dead Dollz and is one of 4 variations currently available at The Crossroads event. They are fit for Maitreya Lara and each version includes a colour HUD. 
Bonus, I found they fit awesomely underneath my =Zenith= leg straps and a bunch of other garter accessories for a bi of mix 'n matching!

There are a couple of days left to get over to Shoetopia, where you'll find these cute ankle boots by [BREATHE]. There are lots of colours available, with fits included for Maitreya, SLink and Belleza mesh bodies. 

I've been seeing a lot of Avatar Complexity questions coming up so I'm going to start including complexity scores for my outfits in blog posts. This outfit in full is 50395 and minus the parasol it's 44399.
