My SL Movie Poster Challenge: It’s Nice To Meet You

1 Peepless In SLeattleFinal

Monday again, and time for another meme (no matter what anyone else says) from Strawberry Singh! I KNEW this one was going to be a challenge, and it took me most of the day to find the stuff to put it together. Especially because my male avatar only has one set of clothes and one hair style and neither of them would work for this shot! Tom Hanks he ain’t 😉

I panicked when I saw this meme, not because I feared having to try to use Photoshop, but because I had no idea what movie to pick. Because I’m in Australia, it’s actually my Tuesday and I saw Berry’s meme just before I went to bed Monday night. I decided I’d play Scarlett and “think about it tomorrow.” What actually happened was I woke up at 3:21 AM and nearly shouted, “Peepless in Seattle!” – which turned out to be SLeattle as I was trying to re-write the blurb on the poster. Oh…and I managed to do it in Picmonkey, so I was able to get this done in one day instead of the week or two it would have taken if I’d had to use PS \o/

In case you live under a rock, I based my poster on Sleepless In Seattle.

If you want to play along, here are Berry’s instructions:

Monday Meme Instructions: The challenge for this week is to create a movie poster for your SL Avatar or SLife. You can base it off an original movie poster or think of a completely new idea of your own! Get creative and have some fun with it! Remember to leave your link in this meme’s comments so others can come by and see your poster as well.

Got to run…I have to get to the top of the Empire State Building before it closes!

1 Arcade June_035S

I told you I would be posting more from the Arcade, and this time it’s not a fashion post! Although I’m wearing my skin, hair, headband and top from The Arcade, this post is all about the fun stuff! I spent AGES setting up these shots, and I still didn’t manage to capture all of the goodies I put out. And I’m embarrassed about how much stuff was left in my inventory!

I’m not going to say a whole lot, except a thank you to all of the creators who participate in The Arcade. The quality, creativity and whimsy of these items are the reason I fight the lag and “Region Full” warnings every three months to try my luck at this capricious, fanciful event.

1 ABC Bloggers Stars
Seated: Vaneesa Blaylock Left to right: Strawberry Singh, Peep Sideshow, Anarya Elderslie, Lizzie Gudkov & Ravensong Merlin

Vaneesa Blaylock set probably one of the hardest challenges possible – to try to get all 24 bloggers participating in the Avatar Blogger Month together in one place at one time! Since we’re scattered across the globe in heaven knows how many time zones, I don’t think it was possible, even for someone as energetic and positive as Vaneesa. She did, however, manage to gather six of us for a quick photo shoot to mark the completion of the first week of the challenge. For those of you who don’t know, ABC stands for Avatar Blogger Crossfit – if you missed my earlier post, you can check out our training work stations and more about this challenge here.

I was thrilled to meet these amazing ladies who share their views of Second Life with the rest of the world in their blogs. To be honest, I hadn’t read any, other than Strawberry Singh’s, prior to this challenge. It’s been a marvelous opportunity to find these new bloggers (at least to me).

Please take the time to get to know them. Their blogs are all worth a look. And reading them sure beats the hell out of herding cats!
