1 Isle of Mousai_014

I first saw photos of Isle of Mousai over on Honour McMillan’s blog. It intrigued me, with its eclectic design. Main Street meets Steampunk meets Goth. It was fairly busy, with most people hanging out in the Main Street area. I chose to move on, rather than having to pose in front of the throngs.

The castle/mansion was never out of my line of sight. Whether I was admiring an angel or looking for my reflection in a pond.

Even when I flew up to the little house perched atop a floating island to peer over the land, it was there…off in the distance, its gables and foreboding facade making its way into my vista.

It’s a great place to visit. It is an Adult sim that will be hosting live music performances. There are signs near the landing point to give you the details.

Take a friend. Explore. See what this mystical place has in store for you. Just be careful if you head up the steps to that house. I got the distinct feeling it might be haunted 😉

Making Myself At Home

1 Small Town Green

This year I have promised myself (no, it’s not a New Year’s Resolution) to visit more locations in Second Life. I see lots of beautiful places on Flickr and blog posts and I have a list of spots I want to visit – which seems to grow faster than I can tick them off my list! I’ve even been known to add a place just so I can mark it off 😉

One of those places I hadn’t yet visited is Small Town Green. After a horrendous experience shopping at The Season’s Story (that’s a whole ‘nother blog post right there!) I decided I needed a quieter location to shoot photographs. I wanted a cozy nook to curl up in while wearing this oh-so-soft-and-snuggly sweater and leggings and the thought of building my own set was too much for me to bear (where were you when I needed you, Rwah????). So I took a quick peek at my list and Small Town Green seemed to fit the bill.

It really is a pretty sim. And when I stepped inside this house, I simply made myself at home. Curled up in this comfy chair, I had a lovely time discussing everything from the weather to the pros and cons of trying to shop at a busy sales event on the first day with Mr. Bambi. We watched the horses and the moon playing across the water. We even went so far as to play Rock-Paper-Scissors to see who would clean up the mess on the floor.

By the way, Bambi thinks I need to practice patience a bit more in regard to shopping at time-limited events. And even though my Rock won over his Scissors, I ended up tidying up before I left. As he reminded me, I am the one with opposable thumbs 😉

(I’m still trying to figure out how he managed to make scissors!)

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.
