When in the fall of 2007 Miriel informed us that she had bought her own sim, and Fleur (back then stil Tête à Pied) decided to do the same, I was sad… sad because Nouveau, back then the home of Miriel, Fleur, and  until now, Lassitude & Ennui was one of my favourite sims. Beautifully landscaped and awesome content. But… Fleur has developed a pretty pretty sim next to Nicky Ree’s and now Miriel is back in action as well with a GORGEOUS sim. She spent months making textures and raw files for the sim, updating old and creating new content as well as developing a storyline for The Golden Cage, an ongoing treasure hunt which has become a very alluring yet somewhat sad story.

This is the introduction:

Though the public is free to explore this island, this was not always the case. For centuries, the land was entirely private, held by a series of owners for their personal use. In fact, it has changed hands multiple times, collecting a colorful history in the process. There is the allegedly cursed archaeological dig of Robert Neston, the notorious parties of Rebecca Fairfield, and, perhaps most notably, the disappearance of Charlotte West.

West’s time on the island was shrouded in rumor and secrecy. Officially, her husband John West bought the island as a place for her to convalesce while he worked on the mainland. Even before she arrived, though, there were stories: she was mad, or John wished to be rid of her, or both. The nurses and servants who cared for her on the island rarely left and were not permitted to discuss the situation, fueling further speculation…..

Following the hints hidden in the notecards, you will eventually find some gorgeous pieces of jewelry. They will not be for sale. Don’t spoil the fun for others and enjoy your little treasure hunt.

But there is more.. as said.. new jewelry, new and revamped eyes, shapes and finally.. the lashes that Roslin has been teasing me with ever since Miriel first handed them to her (which must have been somewhere in Januray!) These are without a doubt the best looking, most natural lashes on the grid. They are tintable, have a great fit and they don’t cover your eyemake up like some of the, uhm, more dramatic (read Priscilla Queen of the Desert-ish) lashes that are omnipresent these days.

Miriel’s jewelry has always been amazing, and more often than not, extremely affordable. I will have to do a separate post on the jewelry to do it justice, but for now, just take a look at these pretty shinies.
