Second Life

If I Pretend It’s Not There

1 Lady of the Manor2

I was working on a photo yesterday when Rwah IM’d me. We chatted for a while, with her telling me she was finally getting her sim together, and shared raw shots of photos we were working on back and forth. I was struggling with an angle and set to showcase the dress from Apple May Designs I am wearing, but Rwah just didn’t get it. Honestly, neither did I (it wasn’t this photo, by the way).

She had told me that I should come to see what she had done already, but not to go into the kitchen – it was “a bit of a mess.” Then she told me to get off my platform and use her kitchen to shoot my photo. With trepidation, I TP’d over and into the glorious, gore-fest she had created. The stuff from which nightmares spawn. Telling me to make myself at home, she then proceeded to leave me all alone in this room where horror is the recipe and terror is the final dish. Below is a (pardon the expression), raw shot of her kitchen.

I couldn’t quite bring myself to do it.

Not only am I the kind of person that watches horror movies with squinted eyes between barely-splayed fingers of one hand while gripping the thigh of my companion with claw-like talons of the other, I was suffering from that Second Life phenomenon known as texture refresh. Yes, the textures on the baby, blood and table cloth kept refreshing, making the fabric and skin appear to crawl like thousands of maggots were just beneath the surface, struggling to get out. And come at me.

No. Just NO.

So I plopped myself down in the rather safe confines of the parlour next door and included just a glimpse of the gruesome scene next door. If I pretend it’s not there, it’s not…right?

There ya go, sis. I got off my platform. Ya happy now? 😛

Windswept

1 Windswept 2

Standing on the edge of the abyss, hearing the waves crash against the rocks, gazing at the keep across the chasm, she is overwhelmed. It is beautiful. It is awe-inspiring. It is…perfection.

I’m talking about her bum, of course! The skirt from -PixiCat- at The Arcade will give curves where there is normally just flat road, and it is just accentuated by the pose from !bang for We < 3 Roleplay. The stance is just enough sassy and flirty, yet feminine and delicate. Seen from the front (you'll have to trust me on this – sorry!), she looks positively demure.

I wanted to find a location that lent itself to a windy feeling to highlight the hair from Tableau Vivant at The Arcade, and Skye Elgol, one of Alex Bader's Studio Skye showcase sims, was perfect. It is actually his castle and keep showcase sim, so the vista is at once foreboding and mystical. I added the crashing waves in Photoshop; I just thought it helped give a sense of a windy, desolate landscape.

But I am warmed in this windswept place by the sexy little cock of my hip 😉

Sail Away, Sail Away

1 Paper Boat

Sail away, sail away.

My boat may be made of paper, but I am setting off into the mist, ready to face whatever crosses my path. No anchor, no life vest – just me and the open sea. No storm is too fierce, no gale is too strong to keep me from sailing wherever the winds take me. Across the seven seas or into a secluded lagoon, I will be a valiant sailor.

Come along with me, as we sail away, sail away.

This photo was inspired by Johnfrancis Laville’s latest release. I have more than one sailor hat in my inventory, but none as perfect as this. You can find it at the JfL Hats mainstore.
