Poser Pavillion
Newness from Picture This! Poses



It's another round of Poser Pavillion, who's theme is centered around the same Sci-Fi goodness as the current round of the Garden. I've released two new pose sets. Trinity is an action pose pack that comes with mesh guns (though you can use any item) as well as a two person action pose Jedi vs. Sith. The 'Jedi' pose comes with a male and female version while the 'Sith' pose is unisex. Like Trinity, it comes with the light sabers.

Defender of the City


It's release day for FATEplay and this round is all about magic. It's time to get your wands ready or your transformation gear because Damien Fate's current releases are all about Harry Potter and a personal favorite - Sailor Moon. Okay, so it's not /totally/ Sailor Moon, but the Rena releases are inspired by the senshi scouts from the very popular manga and anime series. Rena comes in the color schemes of our favorite gaggle of teenage girls including the outfit I'm wearing now. Each outfit comes with many options for sizing and a black and variant on the corset for something a little different.

Thunder! Heart! Power!

If you spin the wand, be prepared to shower your foes with love and justice.

These Boots Are Made for Something



Ever hear the song 'These Boots are Made for Walking'? It was sung by Nancy Sinatra back in 1966. It's sort of a dark little song in the wake of go-go pop music that topped the charts so long ago before there was internet and youtube. Hucci released these sexy black boots - in both leather and suede - and I feel as though they are certainly made for...something.

Storybook Saturday
The Evil Queen


For this round of Storybook Saturday, I wanted to remain a bit on the generic side and allow for creativity for anyone doing the challenge. An evil queen can be from a popular fairy tale or it can come from the imagination. I actually chose to draw inspiration from a digital artwork from Deviant Art simply called 'Raven'.

Next Saturday's theme

I Want to Believe


Every round of the Liaison Collaborative always seems to top itself with each new theme and the latest round of The Garden has proven no different! It's the best thing I've seen in Second Life in a long time with so many fun, exciting things centered around the current theme - Area 51. Creativity is at an all time high here! Not just with the color theme, but with the wide array of FUN items. I think my favorite items in this round are the flying saucers from Pixel Mode and the alien chairs from the creative team at 22769. There are also rideable rocket ships, playgrounds for children, an amazing build from Barnesworth Anubis, retro fifties items, desert themed furnishings, a trailer home from Cheeky Pea...the list goes on! Check out the Liaison Collaborative's blog for a complete list of participating stores.

Vintage


Collabor88's stunning new celebratory round has only recently come to my SL list of things to do. Mostly this is because of technical problems I've been experiencing and I didn't want to crash every thirty seconds. Despite the amazing and awesome things available to shoppers, my favorite item is the dress from ISON. Anything that takes me to the glam of vintage deco is a top favorite for me.

The theater I am standing in is part of the Looking Glass' shopping district. Despite being an older build, it's still a beautiful place to visit, though I'm not sure how long this gem in SL will be here as it appears the Looking Glass is moving locations.

Also, the windlight I am using here is called Epi Vintage Windlight. It is part of William Weaver's phototools and is already integrated into the latest version of firestorm. However, if you would like to get the windlight, see William Weaver's website on the Resources page.

Storybook Saturday
The Roman Empire


"Veni, vidi, vici."
 I came. I saw. I conquered.

It's Saturday! Time for a new week of Storybook Saturday. This week's theme is the Roman Empire, which expanded throughout the reaches of Europe to the Middle East. I was inspired to do this challenge after visiting the numerous role-play SIMs in Second Life revolving around ancient times, including the Isle of Pandateria - also known as Ventotene. 

There are many wonderful things in SL revolving around ancient times, including housing prefabs, costuming, decor. The dress I'm wearing from GSpot is available at the latest round of We <3 RP. Also, if you really want to get a good look at an interpretation of Rome, check out HBO's Rome because it's absolutely stunning. Special thanks to my friend Julia Caesaris Minor for posing with me!

Storybook Saturday
The Medieval Court


Today's Storybook Saturday kicks off with the medieval court theme. I am not sure if I've ever worked so hard on a blog post in my entire life. For one thing when I think 'medieval court' I think just shy of the pre-renaissance era with the Tudor architecture and the colorful society that made up the king's court. I had a serious hard time finding a suitable place to take my photo - and that is after trying to find a suitable dress that I felt represented the 'look' of the times I was going for. But here I am, Princess Kel dressed up to the 9's in a court gown. If you want to participate, read about the challenge here.
