U Is For Ulysses Is Undecided

1 U is for Ulysses

Poor little Ulysses can’t make up his mind. Does he go for the tree or the fire hydrant? It’s tough being a dog with all of these decisions!

The little fella in my photo is “My Doggy,” a pose prop by Biabi Meili of EmmePose, available at Pose Fair 2014. I was wandering around Pose Fair, chatting to my buddy, Wendz, when I spotted him and SQUEEEEE’d all over her message box. At one point in our discussion about him she asked, “What are we going to name him?” I suggested Xavier for the letter X, since we are both doing the Inventory Alphabet Challenge. Then she went and named him Red. So instead of waiting another four days to let the little guy out, I named him Ulysses and here he is.

I will admit that I had a little trouble adjusting the poses using this prop, but with the proper camera angle, it still works out. He’s just too adorable not to photograph. In fact, he is so cute I have him sitting outside my showroom to welcome everyone who stops by.

Just don’t make the poor little puppy have to make any tough choices 😉

T Is For Torch Song

1 T is for Torch Song 01b

It’s quarter to three
There ain’t no one in the place except you and me
So set ’em up, Joe
I’ve got a little story you ought to know

~ Lyrics from “One For My Baby” by Johnny Mercer & Harold Arlen

A smokey bar, a melancholy piano and a beauty singing of lamented love. The perfect recipe for a torch song.

I’m not into fantasy or role play so I don’t usually visit Genre, but when I saw the theme this round was “Big Bands” I had to go. And I am happy I did.

This torch that I’ve found
Must be drowned or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
One more for the road
A long, long road

~ From “One For My Baby”

S Is For She Of The Mountains

1 She Of The Mountains 01

In Hindu culture, Parvati, “She of the mountains,” is the consort of Shiva, the Supreme God within Shaivism. But she is a goddess in her own right, the goddess of Power and the source of all power and weapons. She can be both wrathful and benevolent. In some legends, she is the woman behind the man but in others she is superior to Shiva. She is, in other words, the prototypical woman, showing her strength in various incarnations.

Also from Hindu culture comes Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, nature, arts and music. She represents enlightenment, creativity and eloquence. She is also multi-faceted and a role model for everyone.

From Greek mythology is Athena, the goddess of knowledge, strength, just warfare and the arts. She is one of the strongest goddesses in Greek culture. In fact, city of Athens was named for her.

Gods and goddesses is the motif at this month’s round of The Theme Park. You can find inspiration from all three of these goddesses – Parvati by Sax Shepherd Design, Saraswati from .:CoLLisions:. and Athena from Coquet. Each offers a beautiful representation of they goddess they have chosen.

1 Parvati

Here is a closer look at Parvati, the stunning jewels and the front of the lovely tatto inspired by Saraswati. Obviously, the designers of this round of The Theme Park have drawn on the creativity and knowledge of the goddesses they have chosen to honour.

In case you didn’t know already, Pose Fair 2014 is now open! I am using one of the natural Body Shot poses from Image Essentials to highlight my portrayal of a goddess 🙂
