Ballsy

1 Ballsy sm

I have taken a lot of photos in the last week. I mean, a lot, for me. Normally because work has me exhausted by the time I get home Monday through Friday, I rarely get into Second Life, so my weekends are catch up time for my blog. However, with two big events running right now – Vintage Fair and The Liaison Collaborative – I’ve been excited to shoot all of the beautiful items and have been pushing myself to go beyond the usual two or three photos I normally produce.

That being said, I still get a bit overwhelmed and sometimes resort to using my favourite location, rather than creating my own set. So yesterday, after having done three shoots already, I wandered over to Furillen to gather a bit of inspiration to soldier on.

Now, I hadn’t planned on using the billiard table when I arrived (in fact, someone else was there and leaning against it when I wandered into the room), but when he left, I scurried back down to claim my spot. I have done some serious (temporary) derendering in the room to create a more open space, but rest assured, all of Serene’s painstaking decorating will be there when I return.

This outfit just screams femininity. But one of the greatest attributes of any woman is to be able to combine her womanliness with a bit of the vamp. What says that more than an alluring pose on a billiard table? 😉

After the cut, I’ll give you a close-up of the hair, fascinator, necklace and bodice of the dress. They are definitely worth the extra look.

Not My Mama’s Perfume

1 Not My Mama's Perfume sm

While this definitely looks like it could have been my mother’s dressing table, this certainly isn’t my mama’s perfume. I can’t imagine my dear mum wearing a scent called “Lust”. Or maybe I just don’t want to believe that she would!

Kean Kelly of [ keke ] has created an exquisite perfume bottle gacha for the June round of The Chapter Four. It is a play on the 7 Deadly Sins, upgraded to include Greed, Boredom, Jealousy, Need, Pride, Revenge and the ever rare Lust. As always, these bottles are feminine, delicate and beautifully made. The iridescence of the texturing allows each bottle to play with the light, so be sure to place these where the sunlight can dance upon their surfaces. They are modifiable, so I chose to minimise my Lust; at least for the photo 😉

I’m late posting this, but the good news is that the crowds should have died down at The Chapter Four so you can easily sneak in to steal your mama’s perfume.

Pretty stuff I’m showing off:
