Exploring the Lair of Mr. X - *new* Eternal Gown by Silvan Moon

It was late and my lord had left the castle after working all day in his lair.  He is an alchemist and is searching for the right combination of elements to create gold that will make us rich beyond belief.  I  am curious about what goes on in this room of experimentation ...and decided to see for myself what has tantalized my lord for hours and hours.....

The wonders I have found were astounding... just like this new gown called Eternal by Silvan Moon.  This is a new collaboration of two creators that share the same passion for beautiful Medieval and Fantasy clothes - Solasnagealai of Blue Moon Enterprises and Bee Dumpling of The White Armory.   Each piece is original mesh so it is unique as well as artfully crafted with great attention to detail.


The details are extraordinary and include a headband styled hat that is etched in a fine brocade woven with golden thread that was popular during the Renaissance.



 The formal gown is made of a fine linen texture and is embellished with celtic accents. It  has drop sleeves that billow  with ornate cuffs and a silk sash and a gorgeous train making this a standout period gown that is distinctive and elaborate.


Eternal can be worn with classic, slink, belleza and maitreya mesh bodies. I am wearing Eternal Jewel with a fitted classic body. Eternal Jewel is the rare version of this gown and comes with a fabulous color changing hud that allows you to change the color of the gown, hat and sleeves.

Mr. X and Natane by Wicca's Wardrobe @ Fantasy Collective

Find me deep in the heart of the jungle... where magic and midnight ... you and I... intersect....find me in an ancient forest if you dare....I am feeling and look fierce and independent with a dash of wanton in this new exclusive item called Natane by Wicca's Wardrobe that is available at the Fantasy Collective  this month... it is ideal for role play... or just plain fun!


Natane  comes in solid black and a patchwork pattern and is made for mesh bodies - Freya, Isis, Maitreya, Slink and Venus.  Natane also includes a metal changing hud.  The criss cross top with lavish beading exudes confidence of someone that embraces the element of surprise with a nonchalant ease of a woman that knows the power of the illusion of smoke and the mystery of desire.

The skirt rides low on the hips and has a tribal elegance to it... replete with the cross stiching of the pants.  Natane beckons expeditions and adventure... follow if you dare!


Mr. X, the night is quiet... the wind barely stirs in the trees... I call your name softly and hope you can hear the echo... on the midnight breeze ---- consider this your invitation to..........

Flamenco - Mr. X and Naomi - *Exclusive* Jumo @ Swank


The new exclusive at Swank by Jumo called Naomi is fabulous... although it is available in many colors, I choose Mr. X's favorite color... red or "fiesta" !  Wearing Naomi, I told Mr. X to get ready to dance the  Flamenco whose name is thought to be a derivative of fire or flame and in this gorgeous outfit you are sure to set the room on fire!

Naomi consists of pants with cascading ruffles that ripple and sway as you walk or dance. Sometimes these pants look like a exotic gown.  I love the detailed waistline and opulent belt with it's gold buckle that gives these pants extra dimension and allure.  The cascading ruffle dresses of flamenco dancers is based on a style of dress worn for the Sevillanas at the annual Feria in Seville.


The top is accented by gold chains in an lovely floral pattern of black and red.  The set also comes with drop earrings and a beautifully crafted necklace in an antique gold finish that makes a statement and completes this exotically exciting look.


So Mr. X let's get ready to go to the fiesta that officially begins at midnight...you will find me waiting for you in the pavilion on the far bank of the Guadalquivir River... and please, don't forget my castanets!

Mr. X and Gaelle by Ghostyss @ Swank

I told Mr. X I would meet him on the upper west side of Manhattan... I am striking in black and white called Gaelle by Ghostyss.   The Maitre d' can't take his eyes off me... I am dressed to kill in a white l mini dress with bold black straps and buckles.

I love the sharp geometric appeal of this dress that skims over my curves with a trail of adjustable buckles running down the front of this mini dress. Mr. X tells me this sexy mini gives me oodles of sexy confidence, Mr. X likes that...I ask Mr. X if this dress hints at a dominating mistress or a naughty bedroom babe...


Gaelle is made for classic and slink, TMP and Maitreye bodies and is an exclusive at Swank. There is a 30% discount for all group members.  The main shop offers many additional discounts as well as group gifts.   In the meantime, I whisper in Mr. X's ear... let's ravish the night

Mr. X and the wave... Sascha Designs

A slow sensual Sunday afternoon. I see the ocean and the waves crashing against the shoreline... only to flow away to be born... yet again and return to embrace the shoreline passionately... renewed... hopeful and beautiful in  azure... just like the new gown by Sascha's Designs called Sascha Design's August Full Gown that is compatible with classic avatars and those with omega appliers.


I dream of watching the seagulls hover as we sip cocktails as the sun slides into the horizon in the  splendor of light that radiates.... orange and yellow... and red... deep into the azure sea.... we watch children run along the shore... a playful puppy runs with a ball along the beach... we kiss...

This fabulous gown by Sascha has  four looks... from long formal gown to  a sleek sexy gown... and then a fabulous cocktail dress with feathers that float and flow... and make you want to dance like mad!  I can see it now.... dim lights -- a jasmine scented night... dancing  under the stars.... and then... the kisses...

Sascha Design's August Full Gown also comes with a jeweled tiara... it is silver in a celtic design and studded with pearls.  I matched it with part of a jewelry set -- earrings and necklace by Muse called Dancing Anemones Accessories in aqua... I love the design of the drop earrings and necklace and how it looks with the elegant tiara.

Another cute new release by Sascha's Designs called Mindful Pack #1 is perfect to lounge at an intimate hotel that sits on the Bosphorous Straits -- the moonlight dances on the water.... take my hand... Mr. X -- let's watch the ships come in...their sails so delicate on the night sky.

Mr. X and Brussels - Swank Exclusive

The theme at August's Swank event is "around the world" and Luxe Paris does not disappoint with its' exclusive Brussels Gown. This is a tribute to Belgium, a country that  has made lace for  600 years.  Mr. X loves the long silk charcoal colored maxi skirt that flows as I walk. The skirt provides the perfect contrast with the floral top.


The floral top is sheer delight -- literally with its semi transparent belled sleeves.  It is a filmy, flouncy, top with drop cut out shoulders and  lace like cuffs giving it a dash of feminine sex appeal. Best of all the  Brussels Gown is compatible with standard avatars and Maitreya, Slink and Belleza mesh bodies.

 So Mr. X shall we wait for the ferry to take us to the island ...I see the ferry pulling into the Fair Harbor... huffing and puffing toward the sinking sun that is low on the horizon... to me as the sea breeze whips my hair around... I think to myself, it is perfect cocktail time... let's have a dark and stormy and remember our adventures on the island and dream of new explorations to come.....

Mr. X & the Ouija Board - Aphrodite @Heart Homes & Indian Summer Hunt @ Ghee

The answers to my questions came fast and furious on this mysteriously fun ouija board called Macabre Soul  Ouija Sofa Set by Aphrodite @ Heart Homes.  Mr. X asked if this was a tool of the devil... a harmless game or a glimpse into a super powerful force of nature...  Even the name Ouija is cast in shadows and mystery... it is said that the creators of this first talking board asked the board itself what it wanted to be called and "Ouija" came through...when they asked what it meant... the board replied... "good luck".... let's hope so Mr. X.


The idea is that two or more people place their hands on the planchette, pose a question and watch as the planchette move from letter to letter spelling out answers seemingly of its own accord. This set called Macabre Soul  Ouija Sofa  by Aphrodite at Heart Homes does not disappoint.  Seated on the comfortable couch, pose your questions and toggle the planchette and watch it move around the board, spelling out your answers.


This set is also fully animated with couples and single poses, plus wacky "horror" poses and even a series of activities like sitting around drinking fine cognac and smoking a cigar!

Mr X - What's Your Punk @ Swank?

Punk started after WWII but really took off in the 70s and since then it has gone thru tons of twist, turns and modifications.  In the 70s the norm was long hair, so punk went short, in the 80s the looks became more masculine to ... in the late 80s glam punk burst on the scene... followed by pop punk and hardcore punk just to add a little more spice to the genre.


I love this hipster British Punk look that I found at Swank called Brit Pop by Keresma.  It is so much fun.  Brit Pop offers  different colored tartan skirts and a variety of band tees in the finest punk tradition.   Royal Stewart Tartan was a popular pattern for  British society and wearing tartan of any kind in an unconventional way is yet another way punks gave the middle finger to British society and to highlight their dissatisfaction with the way things were.


And, when it comes to band tees you have a great choice -- from the ultimate hard core rockers - the Sex Pistols to the Rolling Stones, Oasis, Radiohead, the Stone Roses, David Bowie and even the tragic Amy Winehouse. This dress is mesh and comes in 5 standard easy to wear sizes.

Mr. X and Petunia @ Swank [Modern Couture] & Third Eye

I told Mr. X that I find great solace in the garden... not just any garden... one that melts seamlessly into  the lush surrounding landscape -- an informal garden --- formal in its structure, cared for with joyful plantings created with the eye of an artist.... simply beautiful like this new exclusive gown offered by Modern Designs @ Swank called Petunia. I am wearing it in pink.


Petunia's originate in South America and are from the same family that includes tomatoes, chili peppers and tobacco!  The flower symbolizes anger and resentment especially when they are presented by someone with whom you have recently had a disagreement. They can also symbolize your desire to spend time with someone because you find their company soothing and peaceful.
Whatever petunia's mean to you this gown embellished by this lavish flower in full bloom is sure to cause a rise in blood pressure wherever you go...on another note, according to the urban dictionary... a "petunia" connotates a beauty of great proportions... and that is exactly what this dress does!


I am also featuring a wonderful mesh fountain, another exclusive @ Swank called Eternal Steps Fountain by Third Eye.  This fountain is only 23 prims and comes with a color changing hud that allows you to change the color of the lights of this gorgeously detailed fountain.

Mr. X and "string theory" -Prism Nala by Journey @ Swank!

 Pythagoras could be called the first known string theorist. Pythagoras, an excellent lyre player, figured out the first known string physics -- the harmonic relationship. He realized that vibrating lyre strings of equal tensions but different lengths would produce harmonious notes (i.e. middle C and high C) if the ratio of the lengths of the two strings were a whole number.  Pythagoras discovered this by looking and listening. Mr. X discovered this new dress @ swank called Prism Nala by Journey simply by looking!



Mr. X told me that the front of this Prism Nala reminds him of "string theory" with its artful web of "string" that evocatively floats down the front of this cute mini dress that is an exclusive  at this month's "Swank" event!  This mini also comes with a handy color changing hud featuring four colors called "tropical nights" -- I like the sound of that!   So Mr. X it has been a long night of dancing and I am up for a cuddle in this comfy chair... care to join me and discuss....
