I was quite touched by Neferia Abel's last blog. I met her in one our latest events - Digital Alchemy. She was quite sad that she didn't know about the King Tut Fashion event and she mentioned that Ancient Egypt is one of her passions and she would love to participate. She joined the other designers who were also passionate about Egypt and went off and created this Goddess dress for Kings Rezzable.

I am so happy that she finally made it to the show and we are proud to be carrying one her wonderful designs still in Kings Rezzable.

Each dress , each piece that designers create one must think that  so much goes into; hours of hard work, lows and highs of real life, medical problems. My thoughts and best wishes go to Nef as I write this and from the bottom of my heart Iwish her a speedy recovery so she can get back to her creating.

The Godess Bastet licked her paw, and considered what a hard life it was to be so beloved. It's not easy being the feline epitome of sensuality when all your potential suitors have been spayed. She pouted as she looked around her amazing home, then scowled when she realised that the litterbox was still outside.

After flopping herself down on her sculpted divan, she considered what to do next. Stretching her dark form out languidly, she mused upon her options. She wasn't on heat, so that ruled THAT out. And no mice dared peek their noses into her Sky Temple.

This Wednesday the 13th of May come and rock the Pharoahs at the King Tut sim, as we celebrate it's grand re-opening with a party that's guaranteed to go OFF. We have the delicious Mourna Biziou of Radio Free Darkmere spinning the most intriguing tunes you'll catch all year. (And  to my horror I've realised I've mispelt her name for this poster - AGGHHH,  FORGIVE ME PLEASE MOURNA!) and lovely models displaying the Egyptian creations that the talented Digital Alchemy designers created for this sim.

Gauzy, exotic beauty. Shimmering and mysterious. This describes both the silent film era actress Theda Bara, and the gown that Tabitha Ninetails has named after her in tribute.

Layers of peacock and luxurious gold details waft above a skirt that's sheer yet elegant. And the movement of it shows a hint of the classically styled underskirt to perfection.

What better accessories than a teasing glance, emphasised by the kohl lined eyes of the Cleopatra skin by So Obscene? All wrapped around the beautiful shape created by Corrupted Innocence as a custom for this skin. I could not feel more regal and old Hollywood elegance than in this.

.... I could feel the eyes of the Dead upon me. Those that had not yet been weighed against the feather of Ma'at were waiting to see if my courage would fail. I had been sent down by the newly crowned Pharoah Goddess to ensure that her husband and brother's rest was undisturbed

My duties as Grand Vizier were of an advisor, not as a tender of the deceased. But she trusted no one lower in status than I. Ankhesenpaaten was still grieving him, and it was hard enough for her to remain impassive and detached as befits the ruler. The knowledge that his remains had been desecrated would have been too much to bear. Yet the reports of inexplicable sounds from the tombs could not go uninvestigated.

What comes to mind when you think of Egypt?

Visions of pyramids and Cleopatra's exotic eyes conjure up such a heady combination of ancient times. When Egyptians still roam the land in their distinctive sandals and magnificent head dresses, the universe was probably still thinking long and hard whether they should grace this world with my presence.
It would have been awesome had I been born during those times when you could snag a pharaoh and live such a hedonistic life. Imagine lounging all day, eating grapes and having servants gently fanning you with
peacock feathers. Then there's  this lavish table filled with glorious food and wine served in heavy goblets made of gold and rubies. The
feast never ends and the food never runs out so you never have to worry about ordering take out food from that ornery guy at the Chinese restaurant in the corner. Aaaah, the lovely vision and times gone by.

Recently there has been a call in the SL fashion world for something that is nigh impossible to be found on the grid - diversity in skin tones. As hard as it is for the ladies, the choices are even fewer for the men. When creating the Digital Alchemy - Inspired by Ancient Egypt shows Rezzable knew that the usual pasty flesh of their male blogger wouldn't quite cut it. (Cough... vampire, remember guys?) So they turned to Kira Paderborn of Shapes by Kira to help - and she totally dazzled everyone by creating two new male shapes and a range of skin tones under her new label, Corrupted Innocence. So I introduce to you, Kahotep in the Ashan dark skin.

As you can see, Kahotep has a powerful yet not overly tall build, and African features.This dark skin is amazing, the definition on the abdomen and collarbone gives him a true three dimensional look, and I've been wearing this skin all week and getting lots of compliments on it.

 Look at the pretty pictures. You know you want this gorgeous shimmering gold dress from Neferia Abel of Ivalde anyways, so I'll go light on the words this time. This beauty pretty much speaks for itself.

According to Neferia's notes, "Ma'at was the goddess of the physical and moral law of Egypt, of order and truth. She said to be the wife of Thoth and had eight children with him. The most important of her children was Amon. These eight were the chief gods of Hermopolis and according to the priests there, they created the earth and all that is in it."

Passion, mystery, opulence,  and... ummm... sand. Lots and lots of sand. The thought of Egypt conjures up all these images in the imagination of anyone. And this is what Shai Delacroix has achieved with the sunstruck luster of her Digital Alchemy creations, the Vizier of Lower Egypt men's outfit and the Eternal Nefertari for the women.
