First Days of Spring in 1920s

Apparel

"Shoot for the moon and if you miss, you'll be among the stars."

In face of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, we wish to show the hope and compassion that humanity possesses even in the most difficult of times through our releases.

Junko day dress and the complementing Miki cloche are inspired by the first days of spring!

The day dress elegantly glides in with the first spring days, accompanied by a scarf and matching shoes, all controlled by the included HUD. 

The cloche hat compliments the outfit very well with 8 options for the ribbon and 5 hat base options.

The items are modifiable but will appear in the inventory as no mod due to the script.

Saint Petersburg Exclusive Epée!

Apparel

Thank you very much <3

Saint Petersburg Exclusive Epée!

Apparel

People in the service of the army and imperial court would have carried special swords known in France as epées. I decided to make a Saint Petersburg in SL exclusive item that is based on a real 1790s Russian sword with engraved writing possibly belonging to a Russian colonel.

This one, in particular, has "За Услуги Родине" ("For Services to the Motherland") engraved, along with 3 diamonds enclosed into the handle.

If you want to support our RP project in a way that can be displayed, you can purchase this epée for only 50L$ !

What Are You Reading? v3

Book Lovers

I've personally started reading the newly published English translation of a very famous story/myth of Kiều   (the Penguin Classics one translated it as  Song of Kiều  ) by Nguyễn Du. 

It has a very big place in Vietnamese literature (and history) and talks of the life of Kiều  and how her resilience, and literary talent empowered her to. The original novel/plot itself is Chinese ( Jīn Yún Qiáo Zhuàn) and is set in China (it's loosely based on real people like the Jiajing Emperor from Ming dynasty and the sea lord Xu Hai). But its importance is that the author redid it into a very lyrical poem about a beautiful, smart and strong woman. It touches upon a lot of social themes, especially how difficult it was for women (so it is quite feminist compared to the original novel).

I like this translation because

(1) it's in English - my Vietnamese reading skills are bad, I can read them relatively right but to comprehend what I've read - that's another matter ;

and

2) Timothy Allen has a detailed introduction to both naming systems for Chinese and Vietnamese, and also comparative overview of history of the turmoil at the end of Ming and Lê dynasties.

I'm really glad that Vietnamese literature is starting to be rediscovered by foreign readers so if you want to check it out!

P.S. My great-grandmothers' generation would have known this >3000 line poem by heart apparently, although it might be partially because there wasn't much else to read at the time lol
