Pure Fantasy

 

An old friend dropped by to see me, he wanted to see TRYST and when he saw it, entered into the spirit of  the sim by changing into  a Faun,  I could not resist taking a shot of him, I love visitors who enter into the spirit of things,  Dragons fairys merfolk are all such lovley beings,

Thanks GG for   allowing me to take this shot, and welcome to TRYST

Much Love

for the sheer joy of it

 

I love to create  art, with fabulous variety of builds  within different  sims its  criminal not to.

Such places of beauty,  mostly open  to all,  and being a bit of a dreamer I find it impossible  not  to try  to create a  CGI that is worthy of the  place.

This was taken at the beautiful Alirium  Sim,  if you get time it really is a wonderful place,

Much Love

I really have had it,

There is a cancer awareness  event  going on atm, in SL, and I had a few prims to spare, so set up an area for  those who had no use of a studio, to  either take a photo or I would have happily done it for them, sadly someone sent me a  very visible message, rezzed all items and set the fire effect to max so it looked like it was burning down..

 

It was not only  hurtful but also very petty and downright evil in the circumstances.

I am aware of my non popularity in  some circles,  I guess as one friend  put it,  they cant  label or box me so they   feel  threatened.

Thankfully I dont suffer such paranoia, I admire peoples creativity, Jealousy is such a negative emotion,  as for EGO I  truly do find  that kind of distasteful, we are all gifted in many ways, its just finding   out what that gift is and developing it.

 

I would love to see  those peeps who  really do  feel theyre superior  a few weeks after the sewage worker had   gone on strike  LOL , yep I have a very evil sense of humor.

SL for me is just another creative outlet, and I so do love  to see the fabulous creations within  it.

I guess I thought  modelling  would allow me to explore more of the detailed work, and it does to a point, but not being much of a party person, preferring to build or  take  photos, I dont mix much.

I would always try to support a great cause though,   which is why the event on my sim saddened me so much, ahh  such is the viciousness of some individuals within the modelling circuit.

I would  say the worst thing I have learned in SL  since  joining this  group, is  mistrust, and thats   very very sad.

 

With  that said, I have met a few and again with sadness I list them on one hand, nice people, so maybe its time to  leave the model scene and just explore  the fabulous world that  is SL.

Have a beautiful  week

Much Love

TRYST

Finally I  have kind of  finished TRYST,  my virtual  world in a virtual world.

I guess  for anyone  who isnt  involved in this type of activity, its a difficult thing to understand, and  I admot some of my friends think I am barmy,  well, I say  dont  judge anything til you try it.

Also for many sick and ill People    Virtual  worlds give a platform   that allows them  some kind of  ability to do what they used to do in Reality and  may  be unable to do at present.

Its not prim perfect,  but will get there as I  find more building skills, and if any builders visit I am happy to talk constructive critiscism.

These are   just a couple of  shots of TRYST, I hope people  who may  visit, enjoy its intention as a place to be at peace with all life.

Much Love

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer every three minutes, and every year approximately 50,000 die from this disease.

We are back!

PRETTY BALD IN PINK Photo Campaign is a charity project aimed to promote knowledge and support for cancer victims, families and everyone affected by this disease. Like last year, the idea is not to raise money, but to raise conscience and awareness about a subject that concern us all, to some more direct than to others.

Images will be posted on the PBIP blog, flickr and other media.

not Happy

Being a  bit of a free Spirit, I am having possibly oneof my worst ever times in SL,  Thinking it may be my hub  connector for the internet, I  buy a new one,  all singing all dancing,  supposedly the best,  now either my computer  has  changed into a monster, or  the new hud isnt singing  its got  frekin tonsillitis, cos its sure  as  hell is slower even than my last which sadly  has started ot want to be reset every  couple of hours, I am  so far through building TRYST and  today I log in 6 times to  be booted out, Logged out I should say,  logged back in  in a  safe hub several times only to be  chased round  by  some nutter with  his attachment  dangling  and  a title of  I love wet willies above his  head,…. I am  NOT joking,  jeeeeez,   I get logged out  maybe a merciful logout  on that one,  then   attempt to get back to home, I log in again to  yet again be redirected to  a safe hub, this time  a lycan/vampire wants to take a  chunk out of  me,  this is  getting so ridiculous, I have spent over  an hour  just trying to log into SL  and  its not gonna happen, few more days like this, and I am seriously gonna check out inworldz,  and   ask for  flaming refund  on the two full accounts I  damn well forked out for, not to mention a refund  on this damn wireless  connector,

ohhhhhhh sometimes  I do so long for the simple days,

I hope your day is a muc better one than mine,

Have a good one

Much Love

Blondes Have more FUN

I am kind of in Love with this New Hair from EMOtions, its  just meeee lol. I also have  this thing for  clothes from RICIELLI, mainly cos theyre stylish, not absurdly priced and  easy to wear.

This is  an unedited photo,  I kinda like the  challenge of doing on edits,  mainly  to see if I can geta  half decent shot, but I find it depends on the quality of the clothes and skin you wear, not to mention the  Hair,   Its been a mad  couple of days for me, I offered to help a model  to style cos she asked me, after spending a couple of hours with  her, I offered to take a couple of pics of the finished thing, so I opened my sim to allow her in, and within a few minutes there was some nut job guy  floating round, who I may add I did not know, so I asked him to leave, and  got in a minute in response,  so in a minute I asked again,  no response,  soooooo i did what any normal girl would do when faced with a nut job  I booted  him  rom  the sim.

Returning my attention to the said model, who was so busy chatting him up could not be bothered to  respond to my request to please  get on the pose stand, after several attempts of getting this girl to do ths simple act and still getting no response, I booted her too.

Sometimes its just not worth the time and trouble, plus I hate bad manners, arrogance and  sheer ignorance,  ok rant over, back to  normal service resumed lol.

Have a  greatttt  Day

Much Love

A world within a world within a world

I am embarking on a New Build, its keeping me  busy and  pretty  quiet at the moment, most of  my  spare time is devoted to this project.

Its a big build, but I am sadly restricted on prims, with only 3,750 on a homestead  its  finding a compromise for detail, and  trying to figure a ways to do it with the minimum prim.

The trouble  is  I love  tiny details, such as birds in trees, and leaves in water,  and its so  driving  me bonkers, trying to  work them or an illusion of them into the build.

I  will  in the end be  rezzing on a 1 prim platform in the sky to  dress and style  LOL, but as I spend my SL time alone,  its not really a problem. and  that means I get extra trees and birds into the build.

I was hoping to have this  finished  by  the end of this month, but  sadly it seems  that it will take longer.

Once finished I am hoping to  have a  party and open the sim to all  for a few months, before I pull it all down and start all over again.

So  this is TRYST so  far.

Have a super day,

Much Love

so I need to upgrade

Ok welllll  when I  log into  the blog it asks would I like to upgrade  to pro, and seeing other blogs, they  are obviously pro. but often its not the fact that theyre  a flashy design website,  its what is in them that is the key.

Upgrading my avatar here with an emote  hud, was  soooo not  good,  I think we have all  seen photos and  avis,  with  that really freaky  insane grin  forced onto their face  by    the said  hud.

I see  a  lot of  photos on Flicr  of  avatars  with  such  like, ok it may be  my personal  dislike, but seriously,  who  grins like a chesire cat every 15 seconds.  and its not even a pretty chesire cat.  yikes.

 

I was laughing  so hard  when I grabbed this shot, because of that look on my face. there are moments in Second Life, such as only half your  head rezzing  or just clothes and no avi,   these are what I call  priceless SL moments, and sometimes  if we are  fast we can catch them in a photo,  theyre a never ending source of amusement to me.

Ok yeahh  small things amuse small minds, I hear you thinking.

Well  my amusement is  fine by me,  the only person I would ever wish to take the  piss out  of  is myself, and it hurts no one.

Now  I need to  go look at this upgrade  lark,

Have a beautiful day,

Much Love
