That is also why I created this scene where the room was filled with warm sunshine. Let me tell you about my featured items!" Read more on the blog.

An older set from deviousMind, Lorelay, was the perfect outfit for my deep sea Princess, and the extravagant hair from Mythril completed the look. The hair is actually animated and looked perfect when underwater, making it seem as if it was swaying around in the water like kelp." Read more on the blog.
