The SL Bare Ass Challenge

I think a lot of people – bloggers and non-bloggers alike – took part in the SL Bare Face Challenge. Well, my sister, Maddison Haven, tagged me on Facebook to join the SL Bare ASS Challenge. Not being one to back down from a challenge, I joined in 😀

The rules are simple: take side-by-side photos of yourself clothed and naked. Shameless ass shots ARE mandatory 😉

There was another rule that said “no airbrushing” but since I noticed that part AFTER I had Photoshopped the hell out of my wonky SL arse, I’m going to just ignore that part.

I tagged Caoimhe Lionheart, Wendz Tempest and Strawberry Singh on my Facebook post, but I’m not limiting the challenge to them. Here is my call out to any blogger or Flickr friend or just anyone who stops by my blog to participate in this challenge.

An ass is a terrible thing to waste.

Pretty stuff I’m showing off (besides my arse):

The Bare Face Challenge, Naturally

Bare Face_001 S

I saw a challenge photo by Caitlin “Caity” Tobias on Flickr and I couldn’t resist. The hardest part for me was the “NO Photoshop!” rule. I’m dying to fix my nose, jaw, chin, neck and arm 😦 But other than cropping, I resisted…somehow!

It’s a fun challenge, and a simple one: take a close up wearing only your skin (hair is fine). No other makeup, no eyelashes, nuthin…just you. Hey, I didn’t cheat: I’m just smart enough to choose Hart Larsson as my skin maker, who included lipstick and eyeliner with my everyday skin 😉

Scroll through Flickr and you’ll see quite a few bare faces, all naturally very lovely. And maybe not as surprisingly as you might think.

Suitcase Full of Dreams

1 Suitcase Full of Dreams1

I’m packing all my wishes
In a suitcase full of dreams
Big ones, little ones,
Never-to-come-true ones
All the dreams I ever had
And all of those I never will.

I’m sticking out my thumb
With my suitcase full of dreams
East or west, north or south
or somewhere in between.
I’m heading down the highway
With my suitcase full of dreams.

Sorry about that. I just felt like bursting out with a little bit of bad poetry on this Monday evening. Yeah, I know, I should have been hitchhiking in the photo…or changed the poem 😉

Don’t let that stop you from visiting Shutter Field where you can pick up your very own suitcase full of dreams flowers for this round of The Challenge.
