I realized the flaw in my plan as soon as I hit “publish”. I had intended to blog a few things from my wonderful pile of Dark Eden things and then a few more and then a few more because it’s getting late here in Fannie land and if I don’t get my sleeps I’s a cranky girly. As soon as I hit publish on that first post, it occurred to me that I should probably blog the rest of it or you’ll either go to Dark Eden and see all the cool things there, making my blog posts worthless, or you’ll go to Dark Eden and only look for Erebus and be mad that I didn’t tell you all the great things to look for! Either way, Fannie doesn’t look good, so I’m burning some midnight oil to get some of this sexy goodness on the web for you.
First of all, let’s talk boots, because Dark Eden has them and they are magnificent.
Above you see the queen of the Dark Eden line of boots, Tanith. It comes in two styles, one with the engraved metal buckles and one without. Each style comes in 7 colors and each color is L$200. You can get all of the colors in a fatpack for only L$800. To the left is a great boot, Thetis, which also comes in seven colors and is L$150 a color (or the whole set for L$600). Thetis also has a set of matching strappy “gloves” which are more like prim leather bands and straps that are highly recommended for just L$25 a color. This is one of the reasons I so love Dark Eden. It’s good stuff and it’s a bargain- imagine eight pairs of these elegant and stylish babies for only L$600!
Speaking of sexy fun and bargains at the same time, I didn’t get a picture of them, but if you’re a fan of BDSM things, Dark Eden sells a multi piece all prim rope outfit called Shibari. It’s as if you’re wearing a nylon rope (in any of five colors) for just L$250. Take a look at their display of leather harnesses also, all prim and top quality.
If you’re looking for something a little less fetish and a little more mainstream, take a look at the incredible deal that is the Nu Kua skirt outfit at left. It’s just L$50. That’s not a typo, L$50. It includes two arm bands, a choker, two thigh garters, two types of shoe, the top on undershirt, shirt and jacket layer and two sizes of the skirt, which has an adorable fringe hem I might add. If L$50 is too much for your budget, the pieces are sold individually as well she said, her tongue firmly in her cheek. (But actually, the pieces really ARE sold individually, so if you want a killer garter and nothing else, go to dark Eden and pick it up for just L$15). Nu Kua comes in a choice of 7 colors.
While you probably don’t think of Dark Eden as a place for jewelry, do take a look at their “Chants” which are complex arm, wrist and ankle coin bangles. You have the choice of Gold, Silver or Black Iron. I got the latter and am quite taken with it. For L$200 it’s a good deal for a very well made distinctive piece of prim jewelry. You'’ll find them on the second floor, but they are most easily seen by standing on the first floor near the Tanith boots and using your camera to go straight up.
Finally, to the left here is the dark Eden Cephalopod silk in Obsidian. The silks are all prim, and include several pieces of gorgeous prim metal work to complement the silks. They come in your choice of obsidian or silver, and the whole set is only L$250. I found the fit to be funny until I realized that they are meant to hang on your hip, not tie around your waist. Once I figured that out I was good to go and they nearly fit my avatar out of the box. There are two sizes of everything complicated in the folder for even more ease of use.
Well dear readers, that is my pile of wonderful things from Dark Eden. I was only familiar with the place in passing until the last week or so and I’ve really come to be a fan. God quality, imaginative and very sexy merchandise for a very reasonable price. Sounds good to me and I hope it does to you as well.
