Its the season to don a mask and be mysterious and alluring. And when you want to do this in SL, where do you go? Why, to Illusions, of course, where Siyu Suen provides masks for all imaginable occasions as well as an array of other accessories, from sculpted roses worn in your mouth to horns in all shapes and sizes.
Siyu is very good about providing for both ladies and gentlemen, so it seemed fitting that when I dragged Ran into my post, we would use matching outfits from hyasynth Tiramisu of Silent Sparrow. She, too, is an excellent provider for girls and boys and everything in-between.
Style Notes & Slurls
On Ran:
Skin: Adam Crius Deep Tan Shaven by The Abyss
Hair: Madison Dark Midnight by Calico Creations
Clothes: Kurai Suit Blood by Silent Sparrow
Accessories: Velodorno and Perorno by Illusions, Laudanum Oxblood by Lassitude and Ennui
On Freyja:
Skin Lila LaRue Porcelain Autumn by The Abyss
Hair: Whimsy Cinnamon by Analog Dog
Clothes: Kurai Tart Brass and Kurai Cropped Jacket Brass by Silent Sparrow
Accessories: Velodorno and Perorno by Illusions, Samara Black by Adam n Eve
The lovely Kurai ensembles feature swirly brocade and ankhs, and come in a delicious array of colours of which Blood and Brass are our favourites.
Ran is in the Kurai suit, which comes with prim pieces for male and female avatars. There are also more options than shown for the suit as well, in case you want to cover up a bit. But I didn’t want him to. I am wearing the Kurai tart in the first image (sold as a set or in pieces) and the Kurai tart skirt with the Kurai cropped jacket in the second image. The lace on the skirt is beautifully done and has a real sense of fragility to it.
The skirt is actually a little shorter by default than shown here, as I had to resize it to fit my hips. But it does come with panties.

On Ran:

Clothes: Kurai Cropped Jacket Blood by Silent Sparrow

On Freyja:

Clothes: Kurai Cropped Jacket Brass by Silent Sparrow
Accessories: Delitesco and Mezzadorno by Illusions
In the first picture, both of us are waring the Velodorno and Perorno masks, available for men as well as women. In these closeups Ran is still wearing Velodorno and Perorno but I have switched to Delitesco and Mezzadorno.
All the masks are scriped to change the colour of the mask itself as well as the trim, offering an array of rich mask colours and several different metal trim. The masks are also beautifully fitted to the face, and they even handled Ran’s rather considerable nose on this shape without any problems.
Velodorno, Perorno and Mezzadorno are classic, elegant masks featuring beautiful filigree decorations, and they’ll suit any occasion or outfit. Delitesco features a subtle lace overlay, so there will be some alpha issues with bangs. It adds a lovely air of mystery to your gaze, however. All the masks are particularly excellent with Silent Sparrow clothing, which often features swirly brocades.
We’re both in Abyss skins—Adam Crius and Lila LaRue—and with hair from Calico Creations and Analog Dog.
