In quiet contemplation..

 Sometimes, it is best to just get away for a moment to enjoy a bit of solitude and quiet contemplation, especially after all the hustle and bustle of daily life.  But hey, if you prefer hustle and bustle over serene and calming, why not look your best!

These pants are fitted mesh, which means no more having to deal with your shape to get them to fit properly. They come in one colour as shown, but have 5 different coloured belts. Yellow, Blue, Red, White and my favorite colour Pink. They also come in standard sizes from XXS to XL. Comes with two alpha layers, one for the XL pants and then one from the pants that are XXS to L. 

 Pair these pants with a tank top or bra for a playful look or a sweater when it is cold outside and you want to look fabulous. Either way, with these pants offered ONLY at Angel Dessous, you will be the talk of the town! At 99 L there really is only one question you should be asking yourself and that is  Why haven't I picked these up yet?

Butterflies in a jar, Oh my!!!!!!!

          This beautifully designed four piece set was done by Nadia Voljeti of {ROOK} Poses. Simple and magical, this will gift would surely bring a smile to any fairy or pixies face. One of the great things about how this jar is made, is the detail she put into it, from the Calla Lilies, to the vine hanging down as it overflows from the mason jar, even the escape from the butterflies. The other great thing, is the jar is only 13 prims.

This is one of four packs {ROOK} offers at the Seelie Court.

Sometimes, I just wanna be a simple country girl too.

             Sometimes, I just wanna be a country girl too. I might now be able to ride a bull or toss a bail of hay at five AM, but when I wear this outfit, I feel like I can do just that. Even if I am sitting at home in my city apartment.

         This is the very first outfit done by NatalieHart of RADdesigns. It contains a pair of sleek 'Justin'style cowboy/work boots, a pair of distressed jean shorts, lace panties, and a white tank top as well as a red checkered flannel shirt.  The flannel can be worn with or without the undershirt and comes with its own separate alpha layer  or can be worn together with the boots alpha layer to save on clothing layer space. The other great thing about this outfit, is the low script count as well as the price. At 149 L for the complete set, it is hard to beat. Great for a returning player or a new player with a limited budget!!!!

Rook: A chess piece or is it a bird?

Rook- According to Webster's dictionary. (n.)- A piece in chess, usually called the castle piece, it can move freely up and down or side to side across the board when a free space is open. 

(n.) A member of the Corvidae family in the passerine order of birds. Their name in Latin translates to food-gathering. Typically a Rook is another word for crow. 

However, for now, lets take a step back and talk about Rook; a pose store within the world of Second Life and an amazing little gem tucked away on a beautiful sim.  I recently sat down with the owner and asked a few questions as I was generally curious and because this is a journey of 1000 miles, I couldn't leave this place without extensive exploration. Here is the interview:

Name: Nadia Voljeti

Store name: Rook Poses

How did you come up with the name? 

I have a great liking for rooks, the bird. Which are a type of black bird...and the rook is also my favorite piece in chess, so...the name sort of stuck.

How long have you been making poses?

Oh lawd, I've been making poses on and off for about two years...give or take a few months.

What type of poses do you make? (IE animated poses or are they static poses used for photography?)

I mostly make static poses for photography. I tend to lean more to the fantasy side of things. How ever I will do poses that are more "standard" poses for modeling and the like.

I have also done some specialty poses for some other creators in Second Life.

Why did you want to start making poses?

Hmm good question. I started making them for my store when I came to realize I wanted to do something more with my photos, finding just that RIGHT pose was never easy. Now I make them for the simple love of being able to share what I've done.

Is there a certain pose you are super excited about? (You know, something you just love to show off.)

Actually no, I'm equally excited about each pose I have ever made. To me that would be sort of like being more excited about one child's sport and being "meh" about the other child's sport. Silly, I know...but it is totally how I see it. Heh.

Do you plan on expanding anytime soon or in the future?

        Expand? As in OUT of poses? Nah. I've tried it and found I don't have the passion for other stuff.

  What exactly would you like to try to make along side poses?

            If I ever did expand I'd actually love to make horns, ears, and tails...I love those sort of extra things. But for now I'll cheerfully stick with just poses.

More to come.....

 Reminiscent of a bygone era, Club Stiletto, is a Steampunk inspired D/s club where all are welcome regardless of race, gender, or sexuality. Built by the designer Miss Marishka Ixito, It is owned by Miss Zana Darkthorn, this club while not officially considered a night club hosts a number of monthly events. The first being Gina Gracemount, a live Blues and Jazz singer and secondly, an all day costume contest. This serves the purpose of those who are busy during the day to come to event and still have a wonderful time.

The first thing you notice as you walk in is the decor. In keeping with the steam punk theme, there are pipes abound so watch your head. The colors are earthy and welcoming. There is plenty of seating to be had from single chairs to chaise loungers to couples couches even restaurant tables in which couples can be served food and drink. The bar is always stock full and seems to, never run out. The dance floor, like everything else, is grand and spacious enough to accommodate everyone wishing to do a jive, or a waltz, or even a tango or two.

Stepping outside into the courtyard, there are plenty of trees as well as a stone walking path to guide you on your way and in the back they have what is called the " Playhouse. " BDSM inspired area for couples to explore and enjoy the carnal pleasures of the flesh for a time. There are also shop stalls for those wishing to sell their wares and above the club is a airship; which, is perfect for stargazing and cuddling. 


I was guided to this place in hopes of finding a job and lo and behold I ended up staying due to the friendliness of the staff, the kindness of the patrons and the soothing sounds of the record spinning on the phonograph. I would recommend that you come check this place out and I would even go as far as to say favorite it and tell everyone else about it. It will be the most fun you can have in one night without feeling overcrowded.
