*Photo taken by Cranky Git

As a rare surprise, when I logged into Second Life yesterday, my sister, Cranky was online. We hardly see each other, so I was thrilled to hear the little “ding ding” of my IM box. We were both working on photos and when she finished hers, she popped over for a visit.

I was trying to find the perfect angle to show the stunning back of the dress from Salt & Pepper for We < 3 Roleplay. In the time it took me to adjust my camera angle and light for the first shot, Cranky announced she had a present for me. I squealed, as I love gifts, but I wasn’t expecting something as special and lovely as this.

This photo…just beautiful.

Thank you, sis, for for the gift of your talent, your friendship and your love ♥

A Face I Can Live With

I took the Mesh Head plunge at CATWA this weekend. I have tried others, but they just didn’t seem to suit me; unlike Alice, which just seems to be a good fit for me. With the addition of having a CATWA applier for my current skin by Elysium, I think I have switched for good. I have been so tempted by the beautiful appliers for mesh heads, but for the first time, I found a face I can live with. I haven’t taken it off since I rezzed it out of the box and started adjusting my shape, my eyes, fiddling with hairbase appliers, makeup and expressions. And she photographs like a dream.

I really like this cozy little corner I created to showcase some of the items from The Liaison Collaborative. I was going to do a second photo for the dress from Salt & Pepper, but I decided to try out the poses in the couch and it worked. Even seated, it shows off the sexy little number Salt has created for The Dark Style Fair 3. I didn’t even take dozens of shots; well, close, but under 2 dozen 😉

TLC runs through May 30th and the Dark Style Fair through June 4th. Do check them out and discover something new you can’t live without.

In A Mystical Place

It has been a long, tiring day at work. I’ve been having more of those lately than I care to have. But I am trying to get my feet back under me when it comes to my blog. I have so many lovely things queued up to show you from so many wonderful designers. I will do my best to give them the attention they deserve.

Today’s photo is rather mystical, which goes wonderfully with the jacket and skirt from Salt & Pepper for the May anniversary edition of We < 3 Roleplay. The sandals from fri.day for Uber fit right in. I’m not a roleplayer, but I do know how to scout out a great location in Second Life, in this case, Rustica.

I keep wondering when my world will slow down and I can settle back into my usual routine. Instead, I keep waking up in a mystical place. I guess I’ll have to learn to embrace it.
