HYMENAIOS

~Greek God of Weddings, Receptions, and Marriage~

Often referred to simply as Hymen he was said to the son of Apollo and one of the muses in some cases or an ordinary Athenian. His job was to attend every wedding, and if he did not the marriage was thought to be destined to end in disaster. Because of this, the Greeks would call his name and traditional wedding songs even called to him.

The Charites were Goddesses of beauty and their job was to dance and bring joy into the hearts of men. They were often seen with Aphrodite. Aglaea was the youngest of the three sisters.





I've started playing around with Bakes on Mesh now that I've got some time to do so. I picked up an Enfer Sombre skin that I really love, and I have to say that once you get the hang of it this BoM stuff really does make a world of difference. I especially like how well BoM and Applier things kinda meld together so I can use the applier of one and the layer of another in a nice cohesive way to create a look I'm really happy with.

I used that with Hymenaios to create a look I felt was very soft since his role is weddings and those are usually known around here for very gentle and elegant styles. For the dress I was actually inspired by a photo I saw of someone wearing a lolita dress as a wedding gown, and how just truly lovely they looked. I got this dress during a sale Violent Seduction had some time last year and I've been absolutely in love with it, but it was a case of all dressed up with nowhere to go. I'm glad that this finally gave me a nice way to wear this dress and have fun with it.

Thank you for being here with me today. I know we're all facing a lot of uncertainty and rough times going forward. I hope you all are well, and safe at home. My job is closed for 2 weeks at this time, but I count myself lucky that I may have a job to come back to once this has passed and that this may be the worst I face of this. I hope all your loved ones are safe, and that you are too. Things will get better, and as long as we hold out together in time we'll all be in a place where we'll be alright again.

Take care of yourself. I'll probably post quite a bit in the next two weeks, and I'd like to thank you for reading this and giving me this small place where I can take a break from daily life and just for a moment pretend that everything is fine. It will be fine again, but uncertainty is scary for all of us.
