Midnight Matinee


Would you enjoy attending a movie at a dilapidated movie theater in a harbor town inhabited by questionable and slightly disreputable characters? 


Every Wednesday @ 1 pm slt, the residents of Innsmouth, a light RP region dedicated to the works of author H.P. Lovecraft, share a B-rated movie complete with brilliant comments and heckling from the audience ala MST3K. You're invited to join us in the Innsmouth Theater. There is plenty of seating. Come for the movie and stay to explore. 

Innsmouth is not a temporary build for spooky season. It recently celebrated its 15th anniversary. The tingles going down your spine are real, as are the wonderfully unique residents. 
If you enjoy Gothic vibes, early 20th century ambiance or just free-floating weirdness, check it out HERE


I arrived early to get my favorite seat. I grabbed some popcorn in the lobby and could feel my eyes glaze over as I walked down the aisle. Ah! Guilty pleasures!

  • I'm wearing Kiraz, a sexy leather outfit from Le'La which is currently available @ Designer Showcase. It comes with 30 colors to mix and match and fits a wide variety of mesh body types. It is sure to be the star of the show any time you wear it.
  • Matching Heels are included.

Dust Devil


I live in the US desert southwest. I wanted a look that would reflect the spirit of the high desert. 

In this part of the country, the local wisdom is that everything is trying to kill you: animals are fierce, plants have thorns and insects are poisonous. It isn't unusual to see large columns of swirling dust moving across the desert floor. These are known as "dust devils", so my avatar needed to be a dust-colored and without even a hint of softness. 

  • Aii to the rescue! Everything I'm featuring today is available in the MAIN STORE [Click each link below to go directly to the item in the store].

  • Draconis is one of my favorite Aii mods. It's been updated for use with a variety of mesh bodies both male and female and comes with both EvoX BOM and SLUV head tattoos. Dragon scales cover the face, arms and legs. Other BOM tattoos are included for totally different looks, though for me, the gold metallic scales are the most important part of the look.
  • I combined Draconis with Ancient Wings. These wings come with their own AO and include feathers and several different styles of decorative armor for use as Dragons, Angels or Demons. I wanted a rough desert look, so I'm using them stripped down to the skin with just the basic armor for a touch of shine.
  • My BOM Finger mods and Claw Jewelry are Demonic Touch. Like all Aii products, there is a large texture hud and variations to personalize the look. There are creepy eyes to add to the hands as well, but that isn't part of the desert culture, so I'll save those for another time.
  • Necromantic Hair is part of the Hair Hell collection. It includes the optional Horns. There are 64 colors in each of the 4 tabs in the hud: Solid, Ombre, 2-Tone and Roots. You can also tint the hair using the BOM option (be sure to follow the instructions carefully for the best result).
