White Walker

Just had to do a quick post with the PFC Dragonslayer gacha set (in Iron) available from The Secret Affair. Here's my version of a white walker... I was inspired by their menacing appearance and ethereal blue eyes.

The Secret Affair - Game of Thrones (For men)

The Secret Affair may be a small cosy event compared to some but it has certainly raised the bar in what is achievable in SL contentwise. This round opened with the highly anticipated Game of Thrones theme and many of the creators were pushing the limits of SL's latest advances in mesh and materials. In top form were creators like Alchemy and aisling - with really stunning works of art masquerading as wearable assessories. [Tia] made an amazingly detailed iron throne with an astonishingly low prim count and Fanatik excelled again with an architectural structure simply named Tower.

For me, it was refreshing to see items that men could actually use. PFC and Enigma created items geared more towards men if not at least for unisex purposes. DRD also produced a fun unisex machine. After all, who doesn't want to wave a Stark head about!

And what is Game of Thrones without the dragons..? Alchemy's animated wyrmling is a must have. It is beautifully modelled, textured and animated. In some ways I am glad it is not a gacha, for I would be sinking big bucks into the machine to collect them all otherwise. If you prefer something more edgy (and spikey), play DRD's gacha for the rare animated dragon. Even Bauwerk has a shoulder dragon gacha on offer. If you want something cute, play yumyum's Baby Dragon gacha.

I could keep waxing lyrical about every single creator involved in the event but a picture says a thousand words. Take a look and make sure you visit the event before it closes at the end of the month. You may regret it if you don't... for winter is coming (well, in Australia it is...)

The Secret Affair - Game of Thrones

Its the big day, the premiere for HBO's Game of Thrones new season and the opening of The Secret Affair here in Second Life. There is no shortage of GOT items to be had at this small but significant event that opens today at 12pm slt. The event coordinator went with quality and keenly focused content. The result is an event with items that fans will love and role players will splurge on to embellish their scenes and surroundings. One of the more expensive items is this build by Fanatik Architecture, simply titled TOWER. The tower and the floating rock beneath will set you back three thousand linden but I suspect many Game of Thrones fans will walk through this and feel how it can immerse you in RP. To me it feels very much like the tower that the Lanister lovers tossed the Stark boy from. The textures and tones of this build are exactly what everyone has come to expect in this leading brand and there is no shortage of old world mood in these walls.

Also featured here is a golden dragon by O.M.E.N, a steal at 55 linden. Other non gacha here includes a gorgeous dress by Peqe and an iron throne by TIA. Neither of them easy to see completely but you will not miss them when you get there. The skin I am wearing is by Birdy, called Daenerys skin in biscuit. It has all of the usually fabulous rendering we have come to know from Birdy.

Crazy awesomeness coming up from Remarkable Oblivion... Here is a sneak peek of the new spring headphones. The Cat-A-Clysm  version shown here in peach and black are an easy wear anytime but people who need some extra kapow will love the rabbit eared version, both available April 1st at Fameshed. The glasses in the bottom picture are sleek in gold, but they will come in three other options at next months second anniversary of the Mens Department. 

The Secret Affair is coming on April 6th and there you will find the black robe in the picture below. [Stitched] made this as a tunic and pant set for men, but I couldnt help wearing the top as a dress for this shot. The necklace is by Devious Mind. It is a rare in their upcoming Secret Affair gacha. Start saving your lindens, April is calling!

Khaleesi Clone

With all the buzz about the upcoming Secret Affair Event being a Game of Thrones theme, not to mention the season premiere of the series, I decided to try and tackle a celebrity make over. Emilia Clarke who plays the Queen of Dragons has a really bold face with some distinct features. As with most avatars in Second Life, the key was finding the right skin and in this case the brow played a big part. The good news for fans and role players is that the Secret Affair Event opening April 6th will provide plenty for your avatar to wear from the series like this Khaleesi Desert Skirt and Top from !gO!. Fans of gacha will be pleased to know that the event allows for one regular item and one gacha machine from each creator. If you want to get a head start and make your own Khaleesi I provided everything you need below. See you at the Secret Affair April 6th!
