Ballsy

1 Ballsy sm

I have taken a lot of photos in the last week. I mean, a lot, for me. Normally because work has me exhausted by the time I get home Monday through Friday, I rarely get into Second Life, so my weekends are catch up time for my blog. However, with two big events running right now – Vintage Fair and The Liaison Collaborative – I’ve been excited to shoot all of the beautiful items and have been pushing myself to go beyond the usual two or three photos I normally produce.

That being said, I still get a bit overwhelmed and sometimes resort to using my favourite location, rather than creating my own set. So yesterday, after having done three shoots already, I wandered over to Furillen to gather a bit of inspiration to soldier on.

Now, I hadn’t planned on using the billiard table when I arrived (in fact, someone else was there and leaning against it when I wandered into the room), but when he left, I scurried back down to claim my spot. I have done some serious (temporary) derendering in the room to create a more open space, but rest assured, all of Serene’s painstaking decorating will be there when I return.

This outfit just screams femininity. But one of the greatest attributes of any woman is to be able to combine her womanliness with a bit of the vamp. What says that more than an alluring pose on a billiard table? 😉

After the cut, I’ll give you a close-up of the hair, fascinator, necklace and bodice of the dress. They are definitely worth the extra look.

A Face I Can Live With

1 Daria sm 1

I took the Mesh Head plunge at CATWA this weekend. I have tried others, but they just didn’t seem to suit me; unlike Alice, which just seems to be a good fit for me. With the addition of having a CATWA applier for my current skin by Elysium, I think I have switched for good. I have been so tempted by the beautiful appliers for mesh heads, but for the first time, I found a face I can live with. I haven’t taken it off since I rezzed it out of the box and started adjusting my shape, my eyes, fiddling with hairbase appliers, makeup and expressions. And she photographs like a dream.

I really like this cozy little corner I created to showcase some of the items from The Liaison Collaborative. I was going to do a second photo for the dress from Salt & Pepper, but I decided to try out the poses in the couch and it worked. Even seated, it shows off the sexy little number Salt has created for The Dark Style Fair 3. I didn’t even take dozens of shots; well, close, but under 2 dozen 😉

TLC runs through May 30th and the Dark Style Fair through June 4th. Do check them out and discover something new you can’t live without.
