Second Life Movie Poster Challenge 2016: Peeping Beauty

1 Peeping Beauty sm

I was very happy to see that Strawberry Singh started her memes back a few weeks ago. Before her hiatus, I participated regularly; but this is the first one I have managed to do in recent times. No matter how busy I have been in real life, the Second Life Movie Poster Challenge from 2013 was one of my very favourites, and I wasn’t about to miss out this time!

For those of you who want to participate, here are the instructions:

Meme instructions: Create a movie poster for your Second Life Avatar or SLife. You can base it off an original movie poster or think of a completely new idea of your own! Please be careful of copyright issues and try not to use copyrighted elements in your work. Remember to share a link to your poster in the comments (of Berry’s post) and the Blog Memes Flickr Group. You don’t have to have a blog to do this challenge, you can share your image on any social platform you prefer.

In keeping with my original meme, I decided to play on my name. After wracking my brain for movies with “sleep” in the title, I settled on Sleeping Beauty. Thankfully, with the different eye positions available with my CATWA head, it was relatively easy to create a photo with one eye closed and one eye open. And like the last time, I found myself giggling as I created this poster.

Do please pop over to Berry’s blog to see all of the entries. There are details there on Glasz DeCuir’s upcoming exhibition of Second Life movie posters, as well.

Now I just have to wait for that prince to show up so I can fully awaken. I just hope my hundred-year morning breathe doesn’t kill him!

I Suppose It Will All Make Sense One Day

Running her fingers through scattered petals like so many shattered dreams, she has to believe it will all make sense one day.

I visited The Outer Garden this weekend. Owned by bisou Dexler, it is a softly beautiful space. It could easily be a romantic location, but for me it was a place for contemplation. While the photograph may seem a bit melancholy, I left feeling light and refreshed.

Do check out my stunning sandals. They are newly released at Kustom9 by fri.day. Exclusively fitted for Maitreya Lara, they are one thing that makes perfect sense.

I don’t even have to wait for “one day” to know this.

A Face I Can Live With

1 Daria sm 1

I took the Mesh Head plunge at CATWA this weekend. I have tried others, but they just didn’t seem to suit me; unlike Alice, which just seems to be a good fit for me. With the addition of having a CATWA applier for my current skin by Elysium, I think I have switched for good. I have been so tempted by the beautiful appliers for mesh heads, but for the first time, I found a face I can live with. I haven’t taken it off since I rezzed it out of the box and started adjusting my shape, my eyes, fiddling with hairbase appliers, makeup and expressions. And she photographs like a dream.

I really like this cozy little corner I created to showcase some of the items from The Liaison Collaborative. I was going to do a second photo for the dress from Salt & Pepper, but I decided to try out the poses in the couch and it worked. Even seated, it shows off the sexy little number Salt has created for The Dark Style Fair 3. I didn’t even take dozens of shots; well, close, but under 2 dozen 😉

TLC runs through May 30th and the Dark Style Fair through June 4th. Do check them out and discover something new you can’t live without.
