About the Image

It’s been a while since I’ve had the time to create a photo. For this image, I wanted to show the girls on a St. Patrick’s Day girls’ night out at an Irish pub. There are several quaint Irish pubs in-world, but since I was unable to find one that allowed rez rights (for the pose balls) and also did not have a creepy naked guy standing in front, I decided to build my own scene.

The girls are all decked out in their green St. Patrick’s Day finest. The outfits and accessories came from three hunts: The Green Freaks Hunt, The Fab Free St. Patty’s Day Hunt, and the Velour Mall St. Patrick’s Day Hunt. The items were all between 0L and 25L each. There are lots of fun gifts on these hunts!

Sláinte! Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! ☘️

A St. Patrick’s Night to Remember

St. Patrick’s Day had arrived, casting a verdant spell over the city. Serena, Ella Rose, and Luna headed out on the town and found themselves drawn to a cozy Irish pub tucked away in a corner of the bustling streets. Each woman carried her own secrets, dreams, and desires, but tonight, they sought solace in the camaraderie of friendship and the spirit of celebration.

Ella Rose, with her fiery red hair and a mischievous glint in her emerald eyes, was the life of the party. She exuded an aura of confidence, masking the insecurities that gnawed at her heart. Tonight, she craved the warmth of laughter and the thrill of adventure, hoping to forget the weight of responsibilities that burdened her shoulders.

Serena, with her gentle demeanor and a smile that could melt the frostiest of hearts, sought refuge in the comfort of friendship, yearning for a sense of belonging in a world that often felt indifferent. Tonight, she wanted to lose herself in the melodies of Irish folk songs and the comforting embrace of friendship.

Luna, mysterious and enigmatic, always seemed to drift through life like a wisp of moonlight. Her eyes held untold secrets, and her spirit danced to a tune only she could hear. Tonight, she sought inspiration in the stories she knew her friends would tell and the whispered promises of the night.

As the three women stepped into the pub, the air was thick with the scent of Guinness and the sound of merry laughter. The walls were adorned with shamrocks and leprechauns, casting a festive spell over the room. Without hesitation, Ella Rose led the way to the bar, her laughter echoing like the chime of bells.

They ordered a pitcher of stout and found a cozy corner table by the hearth. As the night wore on, they shared stories of love and loss, dreams and disappointments, their voices rising and falling like the ebb and flow of the tide. With each tale spun, the bonds of friendship grew stronger, weaving a tapestry of shared memories and unspoken understanding.

As the clock struck midnight, the pub erupted into a chorus of cheers and applause. The music swelled, filling the air with the lively strains of an Irish jig. Ella Rose leaped to her feet, her eyes sparkling with mischief, and pulled her friends into a spirited dance.

As the night drew to a close and the last notes of music faded into the silence of the early morning hours, Serena, Ella Rose, and Luna exchanged knowing smiles and called for an Uber to take them home. Though their paths may diverge, they would always carry with them the memory of this night – a night of friendship, laughter, and the timeless enchantment of St. Patrick’s Day.

“There are good ships and there are wood ships, these ships they sail and tame the sea. But by God, the best ships are our friendships, and may they always be.” (Irish toast)
