Second Life

Simply Shane

On first glance, Shane is as tough as the title character of the classic movie by the same name. Protective, mysterious and a little bit dangerous. He projects an air of quiet confidence that is not to be trifled with. That was a side of Shane that was easily captured when I did his photo shoot.

But there’s another side of Shane I wanted to portray, as well. The side that stole a pixie’s heart. A man who is fashion-conscious while maintaining a masculine image. A man who is generous and caring behind a facade of unyielding masculinity. A side that is a little harder to get to know, but worth every ounce of effort.

He’s a bit of an enigma. He’s decent and kind.

He’s simply Shane.

You Don’t Know Jack

I met Jack at the club where I work, Breaking The Rules. Jack was new to Second Life and stumbled in one night while I was working. He was witty and funny and there to make friends.

And he did. He comes into BTR sometimes, but mostly he’s off doing other things in Second Life now, with a whole new group of friends. He’s funny and nice, and now that he’s been around for a few months, he’s found his identity. And he’s found his “look”, with the help of those new friends.

So now, you know Jack. Well, a little bit about him. He’s one part bad-boy biker, one part hard-working mechanic, and a whole lot of parts that you’ll have to find out for yourself.

And Yet Another Sister

Yep. I’ve got bunches of sisters. And you’ll probably end up meeting most of them. I’ve actually lost count of how many I have in Second Life – I’ll have to ask Mom 😉

This is Aquarius. Aqua, we call her. We also call her our ‘girly’ sister. She’s feminine, funny and fiery (even though she’s a blonde and not a redhead like Kali). She loves to laugh and joke around, but if you make her mad, watch out. She’ll bust a caplock on you faster than you can say “Uh oh!” And she loves clothes. We have that in common (it’s the genes, I tell you!)

When I think of Aqua, I think of all things soft and delicate. Pink always comes to mind. So when I started thinking about what to do for her photo shoot, I knew this was the prop I had to use. And she’s pretty as a picture, so it was perfect.

And she’s a dreamer, but with her feet firmly planted on the ground. She’s realistic enough to know everything can’t be as we wish, but it doesn’t stop her from imagining everything turning out with a story-book ending.

This is my sister, Aqua. She’s a loving, joyful member of the family. And my world wouldn’t be the same without her.
