Double trouble

This is my first attempt at a double avatar photo, using some of the tips in this tutorial.  I might try this technique again, it's quite useful for showing off a lot of stuff at once.  Editing the images together is super easy, but I did have to mess around quite a bit in-world.

Anyway, what I'm showing off in this post is my Black Friday haul from The.Plastik,The sale runsuntil 23.59 on Monday, so if you have any linden dollars left, do not miss it.  There's between 30% and 50% off almost all the clothes and accessories, so stock up. Fatpack prices have also been slashed

Also, please note that today is the last day of this round of Enchantment - which also means its the very last day you'll ever be able to get your hands on any of the exclusive prizes.

Like the legend of the phoenix

I hope this post doesn't sound all braggy, but I'm kind of stunned to find out that I won The White Armory's fall photo contest. The reason I'm so surprised is because there really were so many wonderful entries, and any number of them would have deserved first place.

The photo started out as a representation of the phoenix (I blame Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky', playing everywhere all summer long). However, as I was working on it, the idea evolved and I created a Melisandre character (from A Song of Ice and Fire).

We Love Role-Play: The Elven sorceress

I had too much fun taking these pictures. One of (*chanimations offerings for this round of W<3RP is an  updated Sourceress - "Summon and Spell", a photo prop magic circle which gives you a ton of effects to play around with, and which is super easy to use.

A beautiful dress from Senzafine, characterful skin from The.Plastik, and circlet from ellabella went to create this powerful Elven sorceress. Cross her at your peril!

La fille du cirque

That's it - no more blog.  I've had enough and I'm running away to the circus (inspired by some Twisted Hunt extras from Aeva).

The corset is from the TH Gatcha at Aeva - 10 colours in total, 30L a pop. I got the one I wanted - ruby, pictured - on the fourth try, so I didn't do too badly. They're all delicious though! The tophat is a free giftie - it's copy/mod so I hacked it to match the corset.

More pics and full credits after the jump.

Fairest of Them All! hunt

I spent quite a bit of time today running round grabbing prizes from this hunt. At 5L per prize, it's a little bit more expensive than usual, but there are quite a lot of previews available.

Prizes on this hunt are really top notch - including clothing, jewels, skins, hair, and some great photo props, all following the fairytale theme of the hunt. Have a look for yourself on the prize preview page!

Luckily, I'm not completely redundant and can show you some items which there aren't currently previewed - a skin and a mesh gown from Bonne Chance, and wings from The.Plastik. A couple of extra hints (where they're not currently on the hint list) after the jump too.

FOTA #12 Bonne Chance -  [Milk] Rose skin - prize 1 of 2 at this location
FOTA #12 Bonne Chance - Rapunzel mesh gown - prize 2 of 2 at this location
FOTA #47 - The.Plastik - Naira mesh wings (blue also included in pack)

Free blogger-inspired gift at Adorkable Poses

So. True.

Especially that bit about the inventory.

Natures's Hunt - The Fairy Trail

Some gorgeous prizes to be won in the second Nature's Hunt Spring Blossom, running till May 31. The theme of this hunt is The Fairy Trail, so as you can imagine, lots of the prizes would be great for fantasy roleplay.

I don't often include non-clothing prizes, but some of them items on this hunt are so lush, I couldn't resist incorporating some of them in the pics.

There are over 100 stores in the hunt, so here's just a tiny selection... there may be more pics to come!

Photo exhibition - Morgana Nagorski's 1001 Nights

If you 're interested in silks, orientalist art, interiors or Second Life photography, this new exhibition is a rare treat.

Morgana's exhibition focuses on life in the harems of the Ottoman empire.

Or in the words of the artist, "my new exhibition ~ 1001 Nights is a glimpse into the seductive, sensual, sumptuous world of the seraglio, as depicted in the Orientalist paintings which inspired this series".
