1 Forbidden Love

It’s the classic story: the beautiful, wealthy young woman falls madly in love with the boy from the wrong side of the tracks. Every moment they can steal away together is cherished. One day she will find the courage to forsake her family’s wishes to be with the one she loves.

Until then, it will be as if a dream.

The pose from !bang is available until January 15 at this round of Oneword, with the theme of “Dream.”

1 Trailer Trash Princess

Sometimes she actually gets out…even if it means hanging out at the bus stop, waiting for a ride.

I shot this photo at my sister, Rwah‘s sim, square pegs in round holes. You may remember it from previous posts where I shot there, but it is nothing like it was before. From a desolate beach to a small, forgotten desert town, she has teamed with her friend, Jordy Zipdash to create this eerie, but oddly inviting location. She has reopened it to the public and will have a new Flickr group coming soon. I’ll link to the group when she gets it set up, because she is re-introducing square pegs with a juried photo contest! The contest will run through January 31, with the winner receiving 1000L, second place winning 750L and third receiving 500L.

There is no need to wait until the Flickr group is open to head over and start shooting, though. Edit: It’s open now! Rwah is generously allowing people to rez on the sim, if you need additional props or to set poseballs or lights, with a 30 minute auto-return. Please be polite and don’t overdo it on the props; the sim is fabulous as it is and it is always the best policy to pack out what you pack in and who needs a crowded Lost & Found folder, anyway? You no longer need to be a group member for rez privileges, a rarity for the ravenous location photographer.

If you stop by, make sure you say howdy to the folks; I’m sure they’re missing me by now.

Avatar in a Box Challenge – The Magician’s Assitant’s Nightmare

1 Avatar in a Box Challenge - The Magician's Assitant's Nightmare

Vanessa Blaylock is one of the most creative people I know in Second Life. So, leave it to her to come up with a zany challenge! This is the Avatar in a Box Challenge, whereby you put your avatar in…um…a box. Pretty simple, actually – it’s sheer genius and leaves a lot of room for creativity.

My mind, as it is sometimes wont to do, took a bit of a left turn as I was thinking of what to do. What I originally thought was a simple idea became a little more difficult when I had to figure out a way to build my box and find a pose that works. I ended up editing two trunks to create my “box” and made my own pose after searching my inventory and Marketplace for a suitable pose – and failing. All poor Chance had to do was lie there and not get abused by the rabbit 😉

The premise of my photo is simple: the poor magician’s assistant’s worst nightmare comes true when, during rehearsal in a dark basement, the magician suffers a heart attack midway through cutting her in half.

So, maybe I stretched the bounds of the challenge with this photo, but hey, it’s an artist’s prerogative 😉

Check out Vanessa’s blog comments for other entries in the coming days, like Strawberry Singh’s entry. And Vanessa is planning on issuing a new challenge every Friday, based on inspiration by an artist. You can leave a comment about what artist you would like to see there, too.

Now, dammit, where did I leave that duct tape???
