Beautiful. Lovable. Intelligent.
These are all meanings of the name “Bella.” And they suit this Bella completely.
At Easter, I sponsored a contest at Breaking The Rules, the club where I work. The theme was, fittingly, I thought, “Best in Peeps.” The winner received a photo shoot with me and a three-photo pack. Because of the differences in our time zones, we just managed to complete the shoot this week.
The results…well, you tell me what you think.
Bellissima.
The Weekly Photo Challenge this week is about Change. It’s the perfect opportunity to introduce my new showroom and studio!
I originally set up a showroom on a ballroom sim. It didn’t generate any traffic, so I opened one at Breaking The Rules, the club where I work. I began to get more referrals from that location, in addition to the continued recommendations from my friends. While I have my work on display there, I did my photo shoots at home.
With the increase in work, I decided it was time to turn my little cottage industry into a full-fledged business. I found a parcel of land where I can set up a full showroom in addition to having my photo studio at that location. I still have the showroom at BTR, but this is now my main place of business.
I’m still in the process of decorating it, but it’s open to the public and I invite you all to come check out the new Pics by Peep showroom.
Change in Second Life is to be expected. Friendships and relationships grow and falter, businesses open, then move or close. I’ve learned a lot about embracing change from my time there. As Heraclitus said, “Nothing is permanent but change.”
Here’s to stepping out and stepping up!
Be sure to check out the other entries this week in the comments section of the Weekly Photo Challenge: Change post.
Strawberry Singh has created another meme challenge! I must admit, I was a bit confused at first, reading her blog on procrastination. I wondered if I should put it off till later in the week đ But since I have a self-imposed challenge to do at least three entries for the Single Frame Stories challenge, I decided to procrastinate doing that one instead đ
Here is Berry’s challenge:
Meme Instructions: Create a new post, copy paste the following ten questions into your post, delete my answers and input your own about your SLife! Finally, donât forget to link your post in the comments so I can come read!
What is the rez date for your current SL Avatar that you use most often?
Peep Sideshow October 18, 2008
Where was the first place you made friends as a newb and got to know people in Second Life?
I guess the first place was the club where I first worked (the infamous booby club!), Miss Barbie’s Place. I have no idea if the place exists anymore; I ran screaming from there when I was asked to inflate my prim boobs to the size of the short bus the patron rode in on!
Where do you spend most of your SL time now?
Either at one of the different levels of our home (the house, the platform where I do my photo shoots or lounging in the trailer-turned-inside-of-my-sweetheart’s-head) or at the club where I work, Breaking The Rules.
Who is your closest friend in Second Life? (only pick one)
Abbie Firestarter Bieber Butter Warden (Abbie Moonshadow)
What is the most favorite thing in your inventory? (only pick one)
CD, my Cyber Ducky!
The last thing you purchased in Second Life?
Maitreya Milia Sweater Dress * Honey (I made sure I bought that last so I didn’t have to mention the two fatpacks I’d bought just before it o.O )
What color clothing does your avatar wear most often?
Recently, it’s been yellow or gold
Do you prefer to walk, run or fly?
I normally walk, unless it’s a LONG way to where I want to go. I usually forget about flying (especially when I’ve fallen off my platform and go splat!)
What is the craziest thing youâve ever done in SL?
Oh, lordy. Whipping out the acrobatic chickens that dance on my shoulders when the music stream at the club goes down, maybe?
(This is where I chickened out, ok? :D)
Who would you like to play YOU, in the movie of your SLife?
If she were alive, Audrey Hepburn. If I have to choose someone living, either Kate Winslet or Alyson Hannigan. I think playing me there would definitely have to be an understudy!
The photos for this post were taken at Dryland, another sim I found through the Second Life Destination Guide. And yes, I seem to have a “fowl” affinity for poultry đ
