Almost Ready For The Ball

1 Almost Ready for the Ball

Who would believe that I am already to go the ball, and I’m waiting for my date to get dressed????

A classic cliche turned on its head 😉

As you are probably aware from reading my blog, I am a devoted user of LUMIPro Blog. It is my one essential for Second Life photography. Stefan, the creator, is currently working on the latest update, so to keep us all busy while he toils, the LUMIPro team has engineered a photo contest. Grab a cutout image of Stefan and take a photo with him, somewhere in Second Life.

The rules are pretty simple, as long as you own a LUMIPro.

You must own a LUMIPro.
You must use LUMIPro in the shot in some way.
Entry photos must be added to the LUMIPro Flickr Group and tagged with I took out Mr LUMIPro.
Only entries uploaded on or before July 31, 2015 will be considered.
By entering the contest you give LUMIPro the right to use your images in promotions as well as social media.
Stefan and I will go through all the entries and pick our top three favorites, and here is what they will receive:
First prize will receive 5,000 lindens.
Second Prize will receive 3,500 lindens.
Third Prize will receive 2,000 lindens.

You can head over to the LUMIPro Sales Gallery to pick up your cutout of Stefan (just buy it for 0L). Then all you have to do is post it to LUMIPro’s Flickr Group with the tag I took out Mr LUMIPro, and you are entered to win! If you don’t already own a LUMIPRo system, you can trial it while you are at the gallery, admiring Stefan.

I also wanted to mention the dress I am wearing. It is from Apple May Designs and it is on special for 25L for the duration of SL12B (through July 20th). Head on over to the Apple May Designs mainstore (or hop onto Apple May Designs Marketplace Store) to pick up this lovely bonus edition of the Bella Gown in purple for a song!

Once again, I am wearing a hairstyle from Hair Fair 2015 – and this one is free! I love the hair attachments from Amacci Hair and I was thrilled to find this updo. It comes in all colours and includes hair bases to match every shade. Stop into the Amacci booth and click on the big 10 to receive your very own. It’s perfect for wearing a tiara 😉

I have to wonder how the ending of Cinderella would have changed if Prince Charming was as slow getting dressed as Stefan!

Hair Fair Kiks Off!

Hair Fair 2015 is officially open!

I was fortunate enough once again this year to be selected for early access. I have to say, the sims look magnificent, and they are easy to navigate. I have no doubt that they will be much laggier than I experienced since I know they will be packed, but persevere! It is well worth the patience required. While you wait to get in, you can join the Hair Fair Demo Group, and this year, there are two additional adjacent sims you can cam shop from. For the details, read on. Full instructions for joining the group and slurls to all of the sims can be found later in this post, or by checking the Hair Fair website.

This year, as I have in the last two years, I found a “new to me” hair designer that I just love! [kik]hair is my find this time around and I am sporting it in my lead photo. And if you venture beyond the cut, you can see more – plus all of the Hair Fair info I promised and a surprise!

Private Instruction

1 Private Instruction

Peep clearly didn’t understand the curriculum of her new school. Being a good girl, she was shocked at being held back after class for detention with Professor Chance. After obediently writing her reinforcement statement on the chalkboard, Professor Chance rewarded her with a lovely ribbon…which he proceeded to tie firmly around her wrists. Guiding her gently to her knees, he continued his lesson, explaining when and why his students are expected to open their mouths. And at no other time…

Whew! I think it’s time for this tutorial to stop. Is it getting warm in here, or is it just me????

The latest round of Romp has opened, and Kuro is offering the desk and chairs that grace Professor Chance’s office. Luana’s kinky side is exposed fully with this group of furniture – both chairs and the desk are available in PG and Adult versions. The desk has a safety feature for accessing the animations – the desktop is bare until you click the key in the drawer, which allows you to rez the desk blotter and accessories. The animations menu is located in the blotter, so if you are worried about nosy neighbours sneaking in for a nooner while you are away, you can change the access to Owner or Group and leave them dejectedly staring at a perfectly good bed alternative with tears of frustration running down their faces 😉

Make sure you visit Romp to pick up these naughty yet delightful items. Now if you will excuse me, I need to do my homework before I meet Professor Chance for another private lesson. I am hoping for straight A’s…it cetainly helps when you enjoy the subject you are studying!
