Jahanara

Last week Maxi Gossamar dropped one of her new mesh jewelry sets on me and said that she created an indian themed set for one of the Miss Virtual World contestants this year. I didn’t get a chance to try it on till just last night and I instantly fell in love with it. I really feel like royalty wearing this set. It’s available in white, red and black pearl versions with a gold metal. It’s already up on marketplace as well.

The jewelry and dress from Gizza were pretty heavy so I wanted to keep the skin simple. The skin is actually Tuli! Yes, Tuli Asturias has returned and her mainstore is on the cupcakes sim. She is currently still setting up her store but it is open and she has 4 skins available there. I am wearing Helena in powder tone.

When I put this look together, it immediately reminded me of Jahanara, or maybe she was just on my mind because I was recently reading a book about her. I love reading up on historical south asian women and the mughal empire. Here’s a short youtube video that briefly describes Jahanara’s life.

A crop of the first image is also my iRez photo of the day today. I shared more about Jahanara in that post, so click over if you’re interested.
