Market Day

Image September 9, 2015PeepSideshow Darkward6 Comments

The apples are picked, the harvest is done. Now it’s just a waiting game until I can load my wares and head to the market.

If I were my mother, I would have made apple butter and pressed cider to take along; but I’m afraid those skills passed with her. Instead, I’ll just sell the fruit, fresh from the trees. They are juicy and sweet, with just a bit of a tart bite to them – perfect, in other words.

And no, I didn’t do my picking in this outfit; it is special, just for Market Day. I have donned my new hat from JfL, and of course, these boots from fri.day are made just for looking pretty in; I would have scuffed the heels if I had tried to climb a ladder while wearing them!

The hat is a new release you can find at the JfL Hats mainstore and the boots are available at the September round of Collabor88.

Before I go, I will let you in on a secret. I tucked a dozen or so apples aside in my kitchen for when I return. I may not be able to make cider, but my mother’s pie recipe is one that I have ingrained in my memory.

Almost Ready For The Ball

Image July 13, 2015PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

Who would believe that I am already to go the ball, and I’m waiting for my date to get dressed????

A classic cliche turned on its head 😉

As you are probably aware from reading my blog, I am a devoted user of LUMIPro Blog. It is my one essential for Second Life photography. Stefan, the creator, is currently working on the latest update, so to keep us all busy while he toils, the LUMIPro team has engineered a photo contest. Grab a cutout image of Stefan and take a photo with him, somewhere in Second Life.

The rules are pretty simple, as long as you own a LUMIPro.

You must own a LUMIPro.
You must use LUMIPro in the shot in some way.
Entry photos must be added to the LUMIPro Flickr Group and tagged with I took out Mr LUMIPro.
Only entries uploaded on or before July 31, 2015 will be considered.
By entering the contest you give LUMIPro the right to use your images in promotions as well as social media.
Stefan and I will go through all the entries and pick our top three favorites, and here is what they will receive:
First prize will receive 5,000 lindens.
Second Prize will receive 3,500 lindens.
Third Prize will receive 2,000 lindens.

You can head over to the LUMIPro Sales Gallery to pick up your cutout of Stefan (just buy it for 0L). Then all you have to do is post it to LUMIPro’s Flickr Group with the tag I took out Mr LUMIPro, and you are entered to win! If you don’t already own a LUMIPRo system, you can trial it while you are at the gallery, admiring Stefan.

I also wanted to mention the dress I am wearing. It is from Apple May Designs and it is on special for 25L for the duration of SL12B (through July 20th). Head on over to the Apple May Designs mainstore (or hop onto Apple May Designs Marketplace Store) to pick up this lovely bonus edition of the Bella Gown in purple for a song!

Once again, I am wearing a hairstyle from Hair Fair 2015 – and this one is free! I love the hair attachments from Amacci Hair and I was thrilled to find this updo. It comes in all colours and includes hair bases to match every shade. Stop into the Amacci booth and click on the big 10 to receive your very own. It’s perfect for wearing a tiara 😉

I have to wonder how the ending of Cinderella would have changed if Prince Charming was as slow getting dressed as Stefan!

I Don’t Wanna Spend Another Christmas Without You

Image December 8, 2014December 8, 2014PeepSideshow Darkward5 Comments

I don’t want to light a fire
Unless it will warm your heart
I’m playin no holiday songs
I need you to sing your part
And baby if I could have just one wish come true
I don’t wanna spend one more Christmas without you

Lyrics from “I Don’t Wanna Spend Another Christmas Without You” by ‘N Sync

God help me, I’m quoting ‘N Sync.

I have been trying to do a second post with the hats from JfL Hats for the Jewelry & Accessories Expo since last weekend. Nothing has seemed to work. Today I headed over to Calas Galadhon and ended up at South Farthing. I tried multiple locations and poses, but nothing was striking me as “right.” I was about to give up, and then that bloody song came on the local music stream.

I am not a boy band fan. I am especially not an ‘N Sync fan. But something about that song struck a chord and I was able to create a photo that seemed to capture the spirit of the lyric.

As Grumper said, “No one is immune [to the power of boy bands].”

I hate when he’s right.

On a happier note, Queue Marlowe of Analog Dog has reintroduced separate bangs with her latest release, Bangers. I matched one of the sets with my standby Nicky ponytail and matching hairbase from Amacci to solve the problem inherent to wearing a hat in Second Life. Thank god for hair attachments and bangs!

(But not boy bands.)
