The Princess and Her…

Prince? Toad? That’s the question and that’s my quandary for this week’s Single Frame Story. The prompt this week is “watch”. When I posted a photo of this sign on my Facebook page today, a friend decided I HAD to have it in Second Life. So when I logged in tonight, there it was waiting for me 🙂 So I decided to make it a part of my challenge photo this week. Thank you, Stufly! ♥

I took a LOT of shots of this pose. I loved the lighting on this dress with so many different Windlight settings that I just kept switching them and snapping more pictures. Then came the really hard part; selecting one to finish for the blog.

Well, I couldn’t decide (imagine that!). I ended up with two photos using different cropping and different techniques. The theme is identical, though. And I’ll have a hard time choosing one this week. Who knows? I may wimp out and post them both, since I know I can enter more than one 😉

I won’t run a poll this week, but you’re more than welcome – indeed encouraged – to leave a comment on which one you like best!

And now, I’m off to search for my prince…erm…toad…erm…prince…erm…

You get the drift 😉

I’m not sure if she meant it as a real challenge, but I took Strawberry Singh‘s request to show her mine literally!

Nothing I’m wearing is new. Well, the hair is newish, but as I’ve mentioned before, I have an almost bottomless inventory. So I dug out some of my peacock-proud finery and snapped a few shots.

My outfit is compliments of Gizza (dress – old group gift), Ho Wear (fan), Analog Dog – .b (hair), Magpie* (necklace & earrings) and [MANDALA] (bracelet, rings, nails).

Now, if you’ll excuse me, this peahen sees a peacock with a fine display of plumage and I think his feathers need to be ruffled 😉

PS – I’m dedicating this post to my Second Life mom – a TRUE peacock, in SL and real life! ♥

We Have A Winner!

Well, it’s a good thing we can enter more than one picture into the Single Frame Stories blog challenge…because we had a tie!

Readers were evenly divided between Vanilla Peep and Death by Vanilla. Make sure you check out the Single Frame Stories later to see all of the entries!

I was a bit concerned that Vanilla Peep didn’t really tell a story on its own, so I added some text. I’ve included the updated photo here.
