S Is For She Of The Mountains

1 She Of The Mountains 01

In Hindu culture, Parvati, “She of the mountains,” is the consort of Shiva, the Supreme God within Shaivism. But she is a goddess in her own right, the goddess of Power and the source of all power and weapons. She can be both wrathful and benevolent. In some legends, she is the woman behind the man but in others she is superior to Shiva. She is, in other words, the prototypical woman, showing her strength in various incarnations.

Also from Hindu culture comes Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, nature, arts and music. She represents enlightenment, creativity and eloquence. She is also multi-faceted and a role model for everyone.

From Greek mythology is Athena, the goddess of knowledge, strength, just warfare and the arts. She is one of the strongest goddesses in Greek culture. In fact, city of Athens was named for her.

Gods and goddesses is the motif at this month’s round of The Theme Park. You can find inspiration from all three of these goddesses – Parvati by Sax Shepherd Design, Saraswati from .:CoLLisions:. and Athena from Coquet. Each offers a beautiful representation of they goddess they have chosen.

Here is a closer look at Parvati, the stunning jewels and the front of the lovely tatto inspired by Saraswati. Obviously, the designers of this round of The Theme Park have drawn on the creativity and knowledge of the goddesses they have chosen to honour.

In case you didn’t know already, Pose Fair 2014 is now open! I am using one of the natural Body Shot poses from Image Essentials to highlight my portrayal of a goddess 🙂

Rainy Day Spring Fling

1 Rainy Day_009

I have had a lot of fun with the new offerings from The Theme Park. This month’s theme is “Spring Fling” and there are a lot of really lovely items to get you ready for the changing season. I have been a bit slow off the mark blogging them – the round began on the 15th, but I promise I’m not finished and it runs for three weeks!

To start you out, though, I am showing off this feminine and flirty maxi-dress from Coquet. and this adorable pose set from an lar [poses]. There are three different dresses to choose from (I naturally chose the pink) and the pose set includes matching umbrellas for the poses. This isn’t the first rain-themed pose set I have owned, but it is one of my favourites due to the natural poses and the pretty floral umbrellas.

This pose also works well to show off my new manicure, thanks to ~SongBird~. Since it is named “Peeps Nails” I knew it was destiny! The colours are true to the Easter Peeps it is actually named for and come with either white or black tips. These nail appliers for Slink hands are vivid and springy and perfect for brightening a rainy day.

You are probably becoming familiar with the setting – I have fallen in love with the little flower garden I grew in the back yard of my show room. Feel free to pop by anytime if you would like to take a few pictures or just hop on the swing and let out your inner child. If you want to do it in the rain, there is a pinkish rock you can click for instructions on how to start your spring shower. Don’t you wish it was that easy to summon – and end – the rain?
