{what next} has released a really cozy camping set for the June round of The Arcade. It includes pretty much everything you need for a happy camping experience. From chairs to a fire to the makings for s’mores, a bar, a serving table, food and beer, really all you need is a few friends to make the evening complete.

Second Life Movie Poster Challenge 2016: Peeping Beauty

1 Peeping Beauty sm

I was very happy to see that Strawberry Singh started her memes back a few weeks ago. Before her hiatus, I participated regularly; but this is the first one I have managed to do in recent times. No matter how busy I have been in real life, the Second Life Movie Poster Challenge from 2013 was one of my very favourites, and I wasn’t about to miss out this time!

For those of you who want to participate, here are the instructions:

Meme instructions: Create a movie poster for your Second Life Avatar or SLife. You can base it off an original movie poster or think of a completely new idea of your own! Please be careful of copyright issues and try not to use copyrighted elements in your work. Remember to share a link to your poster in the comments (of Berry’s post) and the Blog Memes Flickr Group. You don’t have to have a blog to do this challenge, you can share your image on any social platform you prefer.

In keeping with my original meme, I decided to play on my name. After wracking my brain for movies with “sleep” in the title, I settled on Sleeping Beauty. Thankfully, with the different eye positions available with my CATWA head, it was relatively easy to create a photo with one eye closed and one eye open. And like the last time, I found myself giggling as I created this poster.

Do please pop over to Berry’s blog to see all of the entries. There are details there on Glasz DeCuir’s upcoming exhibition of Second Life movie posters, as well.

Now I just have to wait for that prince to show up so I can fully awaken. I just hope my hundred-year morning breathe doesn’t kill him!

Beating The Event Barrier

1 Dress for Tea sm

Are you tired of trying to attend shopping events, only to find yourself up against the “The region you are trying to enter is full” limitation? Well, there is a new event that started May 1st that helps you defeat that message! Called Buy Now, it is run through Marketplace. For a limited time, you can purchase new releases exclusively on Marketplace at discounted prices. With close to 50 designers participating, that’s a lot of newness you won’t have to wait to get your hands on! Just pop over to their website and click each vendor’s logo to link you to a preview of their product, then it’s just one more click directly to the Marketplace listing. No more waiting to get in, no more landing on someone’s head and walking through sludge to move off the landing point, no more waiting for the vendors to rez. Simple, yet ingenious!

Apple May Designs is offering the adorable Dress For Tea at a discount for this event in two colours. It is very feminine and just a bit daring. The blue and black are on sale for the event, but there are other colours available at full price. Pick out your favourite and gloat over beating the event barrier!
