Season of the Witch is NOW OPEN!

Season of the Witch is NOW OPEN!

by Lisa Millar ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

SEASON OF THE WITCH has finally opened in Second Life, and fluff me guys and gals, it’s pretty much everything I’d dreamed of!

Now that I’ve finished my RL shift cycle I’ve finally logged in-world and visited the sim to assess what’s there to see, buy and ultimately enjoy.  It really is an experience to be savoured, that’s for sure; the sim is an absolute delight to wander around and take photographs, and the wares that are on display are a treat.  There’s clothing, props, gachas and jewellery galore and the experience is infused with a bohemian vibe.

You can practically smell the wood smoke of the campfires, hear the crunch of the leaves underfoot and taste Autumn in the air.  The music that’s playing at the sim only serves to enhance the experience too, and I confess that I could quite happily move in and live there! (Now THERE’S a thought, someone needs to make a residential sim with this vibe, come on, I’d rent from you if you did!) I’m amazed I didn’t bump into the cast of American Horror Story: Coven or even Stevie Nicks as I strolled from store to store, eyeing up all the goodies on sale, but there were certainly plenty of lookalikes and gorgeous witches at the event enjoying themselves.

If you get overwhelmed by all the shopping then there’s plenty of space to take a seat and cam shop should you so wish, and it was very tempting to sit rooted amongst the soft furnishings and candles for the afternoon, just enjoying the vibes while the Nag Champa smouldered in the background.

For an event to offer so much promise and actually deliver is no mean feat, and as you can tell I’m enjoying myself immensely there, and can pretty much guarantee that I’ll be visiting the sim as frequently as I’m able until the event ends on November 4th.

I’ll share all my findings with you here on Kittywitchin’, obviously! It’s the event this blog was made to feature really (it’s only taken ten years for it to appear!)

Congratulations to Melora Frost, Amaryllis Oona and Joonie Jatho and all the designers and bloggers involved in this wonderful event!

SKIN OF THE WEEK: ‘Daisy’ by Amara Beauty@4MESH

SKIN OF THE WEEK: ‘Daisy’ by Amara Beauty@4MESH

Another week, another belter of a skin from AMARA BEAUTY.  This time it’s a skin called ‘Daisy’, a rather lovely name if you ask me, and it’s a perfect choice for this beautiful skin. What I like particularly on this skin is the brow: a strong uniform shape that’s bold and goes against the current trend of tapered brows. It works incredibly well, making for a strong, distinctive face whichever CATWA head you choose to wear (I’m sporting tone 4 on ‘Catya’, along with the MAITREYA ‘Lara’ mesh body).

As always there are no issues here with shading across the body and ‘the bits that matter’ because let’s face it, there never is with AMARA BEAUTY skins.  Shantia has become adept at producing some of the best skins in SECOND LIFE and they make an absolutely perfect base for make-up appliers.  I think they work particularly well with the PINK FUEL makeup palettes and highly recommend them.

(Oh and just in case you’re wondering the lingerie I’m wearing is the group gift for this month from BLACKLACE lingerie.  It’s their ‘Starlight’ set in a stunning azure blue, and my hair is by LIMERENCE, ‘Kim’ in Ombres from HAIROLOGY)

Daisy Catwa Skin Applier: 12 tones available,  850L each. 5 different brow colours included from pale to dark, plus no brow option. 

Purchase from 4MESH until 1st October. 

PS The keen-eyed amongst you will spy that I’m using the same pose that I used a few blog posts back..shock! Horror! Can’t help it, I love it, it’s by VIRTUAL DIVA but I cannot for the life of me recall where I got it from! It must have been an event because I don’t see any classified store listings in the creator, Angels Kristan’s profile. Anyway, for what it’s worth it’s called ‘VD-Wild-4’

Can you believe that this dress is a freebie from the COCO UPDATE GROUP? It’s *perfect* for wearing with some boots and crunching through some leaves. It’s got an open back which looks very on trend, albeit a tad cold for the change in the season. There’s an entire wall jam-packed with freebies at COCO, so it’s definitely worth joining the group to check them all out.

Here’s your TAXI!

Witchy Wednesday: Witch Season is Approaching!

Witchy Wednesday: Witch Season is Approaching!

I haven’t done a Witchy Wednesday in an age, but it’s back with great news to share. Guys,  I am so excited to tell you about an event that is still a few months away but offers so much promise and potential.  It’s called ‘Season Of The Witch’ and promises a ‘Dark Bohemian’ event experience, and if that doesn’t get those witchy juices flowing for you then I don’t know what will! I’ve been longing for something like this in-world for what feels like forever. Pinch me, am I dreaming?!

In fact, I’ll tell you what’s seriously impressed me about this event so far though, and it’s not just the theme.  It’s the fact that it’s  being so perfectly planned even at these early stages. So much is already going on behind the scenes to ensure the best experience possible, there’s already a Facebook page and a website to get you into the spirit of the event.  There’s even a Pinterest board and oh my days, it’s a veritable banquet upon a stick of witchy aesthetic goodness! Wanna know what’s even better? MEN ARE INCLUDED. Now, if you’re of a Pagan persuasion then you’ll probably realise that Witches can be male or female, it’s not a gender specific term.  However, a lot of people outside of our kind don’t realise this at all, they assume that a male witch is a warlock (erm, no, not unless they want to use that term) or even worse adopt a ‘Men can’t be witches’ attitude.  That’s not the case and it’s so refreshing to see that this is going to be reinforced at ‘Season Of The Witch’. 

You know what else has got me frenzied with anticipation about this event? There’s even a wonderful in-world office to go and visit, and if you’re anything like me you’ll want to live there.  Plus, if you join the group you’ll receive an information pack containing a wearable spellbook and a gorgeous pentacle to wear.  There is even a Spotify playlist too, see what I mean about planning? Hot damn,  this is how you make an event a success in-world!

Have I already said how excited I am? Yes, yes I have haven’t I, but to be fair they had me at ‘Dark Bohemian’.  I mean, just look at this list of ideas and possibilities for designers to choose from, doesn’t it make you drool? (And look at the list of names who have already signed up..I’m going to burst with happiness!)

Anyway, if you want to know more then check out the website and I urge you to look at the Pinterest board too.  Trust me when I say it is darkly magical in the very best way! IS IT OCTOBER YET?!!!! (No, Kitty, it isn’t)
