Red Hearts, Broken Wings

1 Red hearts broken wings sm

I have been in newness overload for the past week or so. Not only am I in the thick of things with Skin Fair 2016 and The Liaison Collaborative, along comes Apple May Designs with two new releases. You can pick up the sexy little thong and pasties set at Whore Couture right now, and the jewelry set (arm cuff, bracelet and ring) will be available on March 14 at Cosmopolitan. OK, so you cant see the ring in this shot, but it’s got a matching stone to the bracelet. And to make it even better, the stones are texture-change to match your wardrobe!

I can’t fail to bring your attention to the amazing wings I am sporting from Bauhaus Movement. They are, in a word, epic. I can just imagine that I am rising from the depths of hell in these wings. And while you can’t really tell, they are shattered. As in, additional attachments with pieces of the wings floating around me. Awesomeness in the guise of brokenness.

One more reminder about Skin Fair 2016: Click the pic for details on the Pale Girl Productions blog, and SLurls to the landing points of both sims are below that.

I’m just nice like that 😉

Tuff Chick

1 Tuff Girl sm

Even tuff girls love their shoes.

I’m not a biker chick, but while prepping for a client shoot, I decided to hop on the bike and see how it felt. It felt…strange. Uncomfortable, even. But with the right outfit and hair, I can pretend I’m in Rome for a day. Hey, Audrey Hepburn did it in Roman Holiday, so why can’t I? OK, so that was a scooter, but let’s not pick nits 😉

Honestly, this photo is all about the shoes. Fringe always makes me feel like a bit of a bad girl, albeit in a princess-y way. There is just something about the feel of the fabric swishing against your ankles to make even a debutante turn into a tuff chick. These babies are from Apple May Designs and can be found at the current round of Shiny Shabby. It is the first anniversary of this amazing event and there are some awesome gifts from these incredible designers. I’m not showing the gift from Apple May, but trust me, it’s worth putting on your shoes and heading over!

I Don’t Have To Find Out

This week, I received notice that I have been nominated for an Avi Choice Award for the Arts in the category Favorite Photographer/Photo Studio. I can say I was shocked to receive another nomination, but at the same time I was touched and pleased. I honestly hadn’t realised the awards were coming around until a couple of weeks ago when Cheri messaged me to let me know she had nominated me. She suggested that I ask for nominations on my blog, but that just isn’t my style. The nomination is, to me, the real honour; I wouldn’t feel right about asking people to put my name forward. The fact that more than one person chose to nominate me without prompting lets me know that what I do here is appreciated.

That said, now that I have been nominated, I will humbly ask for your vote. All you need to do is to click on the image below or in my sidebar, scroll to the Favorite Photographer/Photo Studio category, click the button next to my name and then press the Vote button. While you are there, please peruse the other entries; there are loads of very talented people listed in the Arts categories. I don’t know a lot of them, in fact, I wasn’t even familiar with several of the categories, but there were even more to which I was happy to give my support.

I feel honoured to be asking for your support. I probably wouldn’t continue taking photographs without the encouragement I receive.

Or maybe I would. I’m just glad I don’t have to find out.
