Kicking Back

1 Kicking back_006

I actually won’t get much time to kick back this week in SL. With four photo shoots and two sets to DJ, plus doing some pretty serious power shopping, I thought it was wise to grab a quick shot of me relaxing. I can’t imagine sitting down for long the rest of the week!

That also means I won’t be blogging as often. Clients and VIPs come first. But Cao, here you go…a quickie selfie, just for you 😉

A Slightly Twisted Surprise

Slightly Twisted_005JS

I did a little shopping yesterday. Well, maybe I did more than a little. I hit Fifty Linden Fridays, FaMESHed and The Dressing Room Fusion. While I did make purchases at all three events, I really didn’t go overboard – yeah, I’m surprised too! And after getting dressed up in some of my goodies, I needed a location to shoot. I had seen several photos on Flickr of Slightly Twisted and decided it was the perfect place. Wouldn’t you know it, in a surprise worthy of the sim name, I found myself shooting more landscapes than photos of myself – there’s a first!

This place is simply enchanting. It is filled with little creatures and vignettes, lovingly crafted. I simply could not choose a favourite location to photograph, so I just kept snapping at every turn. I’m not going to flood this post with a lot of the pictures; go, visit, and discover for yourself.

Quick As A Snail

Vivid Vivacity

That’s how I feel, having been up since 5am. While I’m normally an early riser, that is extra early for me. Even my cat was wondering why the lights were on at that hour. So I need to get moving on this post before I succumb to a nana nap at mid-morning!

I have seen a lot of photos of The Sleepy Snail at Metales on Flickr and other blogs and decided to venture over for a look-see. I really never thought snails could be beautiful, but this location is lovely, serene and haunting. I found myself playing with WindLight to discover the brilliance of the sim, especially the reflections from the bejeweled snails and the ethereal play of light on the filament and filigree surrounding them. I hopped on the back of this mid-sized fellow to show off this new dress from .::Vivid::. for the current round at Designer Circle. Being able to use the HUD to adjust the colour of the dress and the stones and studs embellishing it came in very handy; I finally chose the teal jewels against the white dress to complement the bright tones found in these creatures. I never would have imagined I would be standing astride a giant snail for a photograph! Therein lies the wonder of Second Life – where we can joyfully partake in others’ imagination.

Be sure to visit both destinations – Metales for the stunning snail experience and Designer Circle for this cute frock.
