In the Gardens of Martyrium

 

Again, I had a very cool photographic experience around the Martyrium build from +SEMPITERNAL by %anxiety. 

When I decided to make a post featuring Martyrium, it seemed pretty fast forward at first. Then I rezzed it and quickly realized that this was going to be challenging. I was going to have to create an environment for it. At first I thought maybe something very cold and formal. Or hot, kind of lost in the desert or something :D. But I didn’t like any of those. Then I pulled a tree out of my hat (you can never go wrong with a tree). Another. Grass. More trees. Flowers. Butterflies. Sunny bubbles. A joyous, bucolic, tender, happy, and peaceful garden was born. Martyrium looked so nice in it. It felt like home. Then I had to be a pretty summer flower too. Finally the rewarding part where I got to pose and shoot feeling pretty, fresh and playful in my little Martyrium garden world. I took a few pictures inside but really couldn’t stay too long because I felt too claustrophobic. Now the question: is this thing straight or is it not ? I’d say it depends on the pictures… or it moves around 😀

In the end, another beautiful SL photo adventure with %anxiety 🙂

Eden Stone Crush

“All great and precious things are lonely.”
—  John Steinbeck, East of Eden

So…

I recently adopted two wonderful babies. They are called + Sempiternal Eden Stone Light and + Sempiternal Eden Stone Dark by % anxiety. They are insanely awesome.
I was in the % anxiety store, browsing for the next toy. And then I saw them. It was love at first sight. Sempiternal Eden Stone. For days I would find myself at the store when logging in. And I would go back to the demo again. Dilemma: The Light or the Dark? I bought the Dark. Rezzed it and immediately went to get the Light. Of course. I had to have them both. They are one and they are two.
This set is one of the most exquisite things I have seen in my whole ten years of Second Life. I just spent a few days playing in them, shooting, exploring, experimenting, trying to figure things out, discovering the lights, the symmetry that isn’t one, the sick geometry, the possible angles, the refined and intricate roof lines, the gothicity of the whole thing, the refinement of the beige and gold, the rawness of the reds and darks. They are mazes, labyrinths…
I am in awe, head over heels in love with these two marvels. I also find them exquisitely bipolar. Fear and peace. Light and Darkness. Oppression and Relief. So many more dualities than I can count. It’s vertiginous. The photo possibilities are endless. Behind each corner, beauty.
This just blew my mind.Thank you % anxiety guys. Seriously. I had a blast.

Hi Guys!

So summer is at the door and it is time to start trying on pretty looks for the beach. In this post I am featuring  La belle .ingénue.‘s new Thong  that comes with a Hud with 50!!! textures/patterns/colours and Bralet with a Hud filled with 29 colours/patterns/textures for the cups and 27 colors for the straps. No need to be a mathematician to see that there are literally hundreds of possible combinations. I chose to use them as a bikini but the thong can be used as a pantie as well and the top can also be used as a bra or even as a top. They are sexy, fresh and pretty and the hardest part of this post was to stop playing with the Huds and pick just one combination to showcase 🙂

So, this post is special to me because I am featuring my oldest and best friend in SL’s creation. I have known Mandalena Sivith since 2009. We were actually roommates at the sorority house where we had both landed in our first days of noobiness ^^. We met, sat on a sofa, chatted and soon enough we were shopping around. Mandalena has always had a talent to find creators no one else knows, to put outfits together and look spectacular, and she has been in charge of customizing and fixing my shapes practically since day one. In a nutshell, she has magical powers when it comes to beauty and lots of other things :). Mandalena has wanted to open a store in SL for a long time, and now she did! She is just getting started with Bento shapes, bodysuits, dresses and shoes, including the awesome distressed stretch denim boots I am wearing in this post. And there is much more to come!

I hope everyone will give her a warm welcome by checking out her work:

La belle .ingenue. Marketplace and InWorld stores

Also, she is looking for bloggers, so if you are interested send a notecard with your name and your blog’s url to Mandalena Sivith. Requirements: Your avatar needs to have a mesh body.

♥ ♥ I love you darling mu, you are beautiful, fun, creative, talented, smart and mad as a hatter :D. Keep up the good work! ♥ ♥

14 Days, 7 Bikinis, 7 Shades of Skinnery

OK. Guys. I got soooooo sidetracked!!! I blame it on Tropical Summer Fair (that closes tomorrow ^^), the Arcade (OMG I get totally distracted b y the Arcade, it’s terrible, bad, bad gachaholic) and alllll the bikini makers on SL :D. So… I went to the Tropical Summer Fair, and then I went to the Arcade, and then I went to all the events and then I decided I had enough bikinis for a week worth of beach looks, and then I started experimenting different tons of skins, then everything became a blur and here I am, two weeks, seven bikinis, seven skins later… Still alive and apparently back in business.

Blue Dream: Spring Spirit of the Forest

 

Blue Dream: Spring Spirit of the Forest

 

Blue Dream: Spring Spirit of the Forest

Location:

Lost Unicorn, A Unicorn Forest Sanctuary, Faerie Tale

You may encounter this beautiful spirit if you enter the forest deep enough during the last days of spring, just before the summer. She makes a short appearance every year, and if she is so inclined, she dances around, blowing butterflies here, arranging a few flowers there… all the pretty things you can see in the forest during the summer are there thanks to her kind, happy, generous heart.

She is usually a pretty happy spirit and does all those things very spontaneously, it is like a painting for her, she just flutters around and makes things beautiful because it is what she likes to do. She was born in a forest lake, which is why she is always dressed in blue. She may live in the forest, but the water is her element.

That is why she is always wrapped in a cloud of mist and surrounded by myriads of tiny drops of water that look like golden beads. When she is roaming around, working on her masterpiece, all the plants, the trees, the moss, everything turns into a luscious green after having been sprinkled by her happy blue trail of love.

Petite Mort Mansfield Vintage Playsuit will be available as an exclusive for the Tropical Summer Fair June 3rd-17th, along with many other original items that will help make your summer hot, sexy, fashionable, unforgettable ;). The catalog and event location will be on Seraphim as soon as the event starts.

Petite Mort’s playsuit is inspired by the famous beautiful curvaceous 50’s-60’s platinum blonde pin up model and actress Jayne Mansfield. These suits were worn at the beach or on a poolside during the summer, but as you can see from my pictures you can also wear them in the jungle, at the zoo, in space, at the carwash or wherever you decide to take them :).

This playsuit was a joy to blog. I really had fun researching the life and character of Jayne Mansfield, then trying to pimp my avatar until it looked like her, and then taking her on adventures, making her smoke, and just spending time watching her be a pin up… yes, I do spend some time looking at my avatar :D. I love the textures, the fun patterns and it definitely has a sexy retro pin up feeling to it. It will be available in 10 delicious colors and patterns. June 3rd-17th. Can’t wait for the Tropical Summer Fair!

Blooming in a Lovely White Lace Dress

Lea’s life has become like a dream come true since she has started modelling. She gets to be the centre of attention, to travel to the most beautiful places and wear the prettiest clothes, shoes and accessories. She loves it! For today’s photo shoot the team and her went to a little piece of paradise called The Yorkshire Dales. It is a little village, a very pretty flowery place, with a happy feeling to it.

The sun is out, the breeze softly warm, which is great to feature the outfit of the day including a gorgeous little white lace dress that really feels wonderfully springy, pretty, light and sexy, and is enhanced by fabulous and fashionable pewter leather and wood clogs, a statement witchy necklace made of stone and wood that reminds of the colours and materials of the shoes, as well as a great hat that could have belonged to a ship captain. It came in several colours but she picked white to match the dress, and it does the trick, she looks adorable in her springy pure white clothes, a bit like an angel.

The photos are coming out nicely and everyone is relaxed and enjoying a great day in the countryside. It is like a holiday. While sitting, smiling and just being pretty, Lea’s mind wanders and she is thinking that if this is work, then she might become a workaholic. It is just so much fun posing, wandering around in fabulous outfits and having the men’s undivided attention, she feels like she could definitely get used to this lifestyle.

Freedom!

Hi guys!

Today I will let an extremely talented artist speak, or more accurately sing for me. First of all, because I’m a bit lazy ^^, then because he’s so good at expressing it , awesome to listen to, more than pleasant to look at 😉 and  last but not least because this post is all about FREEDOM.

Why Freedom? Let’s just say that I have made an attempt to apply for a sponsor I did not really love, and I struggled to make a post because I was not able to be true to myself and I felt stuck and miserable. I gave up, did not do the post, made the decision not to apply, and then I made this post with an absolutely delicious feeling of FREEDOM.

So let’s celebrate and sing and dance and listen to a wonderful song that brings love for life, joy to the heart and tears to the eyes. Ladies and Gents, I give you Pharrell, FREEDOM!

Heads Or Tails ?

 

Lea had a strange dream. She was on  stage in an odd theater that had no roof and no walls but it had a wonderful ancient wooden staircase that lead nowhere. She was on top of the stairs and she did not want to go back down so she had nowhere to go, then she realized she was all dressed up. She was wearing a short black dress with an open back, a jewelry set of pearls including a necklace that was short in the front and like a river of pearls in her back; it was gorgeous. And she had this extraordinary up-do and very high wood and leather platform shoes. The whole outfit gave her a sensation of self confidence, elegance and sensuality. She started posing for the invisible cameras. She could not see them, but she could hear their shutters, so she knew they were there and she kept posing, sometimes turning her back playfully like in a game of heads or tails.

A Green Sunday

Lea was urban by essence. She was born and brought up in the middle of the city jungle. But every now and then, she needed to escape the noise, pollution and permanent tension of town. Then she took the car and drove to the countryside, found herself a neat little green corner of paradise and walked until she got tired. She had a passion for trees and felt peaceful and quiet when she was amongst them. She also loved picking flowers. The sound of the birds. The sensation of the cool grass on her feet.

For this walk she was wearing her army sneakers, khaki overalls that she wore as jeans, a pink cotton halter top, a pretty flowery scarf,her Lennon style sunglasses, a bag to carry her bottle of water, phone, car keys and, you know, the loads of very important stuff girls carry in their purses 😉

Peace & Love @ The Beach

 

Today my Lea is a Peace and Love Doll, she has flowers in her hair and she is going to play Hotel California with her friends on the beach in her awesome tie dye shirt. She might just kiss that boy, too. And go for a swim in her pretty bikini. Not necessarily in that order. Oh, and everything looks soooo cool through her kaleidoscopic glasses!

So, word of the day: Make Love, not War. And don’t walk on the grass… 😉

Cool at the Library

Lea works part time at the library of the university to help paying for her studies. That way she also spends more time on studying and getting homework done than if she was at home. She likes her job.She loves books. She is a jeans tee shirt flats always reading a couple books kind of girl and it’s perfectly ok for her to be as casual as she desires in this particular working place.

This morning she got up early enough to have time to wake up while having coffee and staring at her laptop screen as she always does, then she grabbed her mini jeans skirt, a summer top and her laced leather sandals, checked in the mirror and thought that her prettiness level was ok. Then she remembered she needs to wear something warm even in the summer at work. The library is always dim and a bit cool, especially when you spend long hours sitting there. So she picked an old army shirt abandoned by some ex lover.

On her way out she took her car keys and the big leather bag she uses to carry books back and forth. Mirror check again:pretty and cool. Perfect!

Life After the Storm

 

Lea was born only a couple years before the Big Storm. She could not remember the world as it was before before the apocalyptic incident. Her mother used to tell her stories of green pastures, apple trees and cool breezes, but for Lea they were only bedtime tales. In real life what existed was the permanent heavy hot air carrying sand, dust and whatever was on its way.

The young woman has to fight for her life every single day. She has to fight for food, water and survival. She learned to protect herself and doesn’t go out before sunset. Wandering in the daylight is too dangerous and she can hardly breathe when the sun is out. At night the temperature plunges and she needs to wear warmer clothes but at least she doesn’t risk to be grilled alive and the chemicals in the air are less aggressive in the cool night, although she needs to wear a mask at any time of the day to go out.

A Reading in Italy

 

 

 

Lea was back on the island. Since her book had been translated to Italian, her agent had been receiving invitations from book stores and literary circles all over the country to come and read for her audience. They were organizing an European tour anyways, so this would give her the chance to go back to the villa on the island where she had loved to stay while she was in the writing process.

She had done her first reading today and it had gone well. For the event she had picked silken red and blue paisley rompers and a lace top that formed a dressy chic but still boho ensemble that she completed with a pair of flat leather sandals. She had left her hair flow simply over her shoulders.

Now that the mundanities were over with she was spending the best part of her day walking uphill across the Italian countryside in the warm spring breeze coming from the sea to go to the beloved villa. She met the shepherd with his sheep and his herding dog on her way home and they walked together for a bit.

The Mysterious Black Box

 

When Lea went home after work Friday night she found a mysterious package on her living room coffee table. It was a black round box wrapped in a big black satin bow. There was an envelope on the box. She opened it, took out the handwritten card and read: “Dear Lea, please follow the instructions below carefully. Wear everything you will find in  the box. Do not wear anything else. Be ready at 9. A car will come and pick you up. Love. M.”

She put the card on the table and pulled on the silky bow to open the mysterious box. It was full of luxurious sensual clothes and accessories: a black stretchy dress with lovely lace decorations and a tiny black bow, a bit like the bow on the box. It made her think of M. unwrapping her and she shivered lightly. She kept looking. A wonderful pair of black platform leather shoes with laced heels. She couldn’t wait to try them on. Then she found a big damask posture collar, leather arm bands and a mask. All black.

Her eyes widened a little. She had been seeing M. for a while and she knew he was into some kinky stuff. And she might have mentioned occasionally that she would like to play along someday. But this took her by surprise. She would follow the flow anyways. What did she have to lose? A night home alone watching tv? She didn’t have too much time to think if she wanted to get ready. She took a shower, washed her hair and arranged it in a pretty up-do, then started getting dressed. The dress and the heels were amazing. She felt very sexy, very woman. She was going to pick some underwear in the drawer and remembered, “nothing else”. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and smiled. The dress was very tight. “Oh boy…”  She was putting on the leather bands and the collar when she heard the car parking in the driveway. She took the leather mask and finished adjusting it while going downstairs. This was certainly going to be an interesting evening.

One Girls’ Day Out, Two Dresses

 

Today it is girls’ day out for Lea and her friends. Time to drive downtown and enjoy everything the city has to offer…

She began the day with a fresh iced caramel latte at the café, then went for a stroll in the city, wandering around, visited an art gallery, went shopping… She bought two new summer dresses that she was happy to showcase for her friends when they met up later in the day. One was all black with just a little detail of sheer dotted fabric on the shoulders, it was very simple and elegant. The other one had a tribal colorful skirt, said “Wild One” on the top and had a tiny little belt. She loved both and couldn’t wait for an occasion to wear them.

Now she and her friends were going to go for a mani-pedi, a meal,  drinks…

Life is good!

Kawaii United Patrol (KUP)

 

 

 

Lea is part of the KUP (Kawaii United Patrol). It is fun, really. All she has to do is roam the city at night and check on the other kawaii girls. If there is any trouble, she has her weapon of choice, the Pink Bubble Gum Blaster that will annihilate all the bad guys in seconds. Her wings are helpful because she can fly high above the city and have a good view of what’s going on, and they enable her to fly down fast as an eagle, should anything catch her attention. As for the outfit, well, it makes the villain’s jaw drop and that gives her time to shoot them with tons of bubble gum.

Now seriously 🙂

Just a Little Celebration

 

Lea is happy today. She has been renting the villa in Tuscany for six months to work on her novel away from the stress and distractions from the life in the city. The main theme of her new novel is the heat… hence the choice of Italy as a writing place. Today she is particularly happy because she sent her script to her editor who wrote back after a long couple days of anguished wait saying it was fabulous and they were going to publish it.

Lea danced for joy, then started making calls for an improvised party: all the people who had been helping her and supporting her throughout this long, awesome, sometimes painful process. She wanted to celebrate with them. She started getting ready for the evening. It was warm and nice and she picked an extra long festival skirt full of happy colors, then a suede bandeau top with fringes, a straw hat – the party would take place on the patio and the sun was very hot until late in the day – copper bangles and an intricate necklace with an amber stone in the front and a butterfly in the back.She playfully braided her hair and put on her dark red nail polish. She was ready!

She went to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of Italian wine and went out to the patio. She took a sip, closed her eyes, enjoying the taste of the wine in her mouth, the warm breeze, the sun on her face… She was in heaven for a while. Then she heard the sound of a car approaching from a distance. Her first guests had arrived. She turned her heels and went to the front of the house to welcome them. It was going to be a great night.

Relax by the Lake

Lea loves spring. She loves spring because it means the lake cabin season is on. She has spent holidays in that cabin since she was a baby. It belonged to her grandfather who passed it to her mother who passed it to her. She is there right now, for the first time this year. She is sitting on the bench by the pier, slowly waking up after a good night sleep. She always sleeps well at the cabin, everything is very quiet until morning. Then a concert of sheep, goats, geese, ducks, cows, a thousand birds and the children of the farm begins. This morning the sun gently stroke her cheek and she woke up, smiled and opened her eyes.

She put on her old ripped, washed up blue jeans and a pretty turquoise tank top that she had bought at a garage sale before departing for the lake and went out to sit on the bench built by her grandfather with a huge piece of wood he brought back from the mill when she was still a little girl. She is sitting there, feeling happy and cozy in her favorite pair of jeans. The have lived a great many things togother, her and those blue jeans. They are all ripped and thorn but they are her favorite thing to wear ever. And the cabin is the perfect place to do so. She rolls up the legs of her pants, goes to the big stone under the tree and puts her feet in the water for a while. It is cool and refreshing. The lake is still too cold for a swim.On the other hand, the sun is hot already and she ties a knot in her cotton top so that she can enjoy its warmth on her belly. She feels fresh and happy as she smells the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and walks back inside to take a cup and get ready for the day.

Take Away Wheat For Mouth

Gotta Love Indie

Today I decided to enjoy the spring weather and go out for a walk on the beach. It was one of these days when it is not cold anymore but not warm enough to go out without a jacket. I chose to wear my leather sandals and the harem pants and ruffle top I bought last summer at a festival. I also took my favorite leather jacket, the comfy blue one with the indian elephant embroidery on the back. It would protect me from the wind and make me look fantastic :).

The beach was empty as the summer had not begun yet, and I had it all for myself (the perks of living in a beach house). The breeze on my legs  felt delicious through the light cotton pants, and I could feel my nose and my cheeks getting pink and warm in the sun. The wind blew my hair as i was walking along the ocean, making it look and feel like what I call “happy hair”. The exercise, the sun, the air, the smell of the sea… After a while I felt wonderful and walked back home, being sure this was going to be a great day.

Tomorrow night the witches will be celebrating and dancing under the moon all night. It will be the biggest party of the year and Melusine is getting ready for the occasion. She built a fire under her cauldron and prepared the special ingredients to make her favorite purple hair dye color. She got her nails done, picked the short bats dress, attached a flower to her garter, stepped in pretty heels, put on her hat, and… Tadaaaaaaa ! Doesn’t she look gorgeous?

Harness My Dress

Sooooo, the thing is… I went to 50 Shades of Lust a couple days ago and I must admit I went a bit crazy on the sexy leather latex fetish black goth stuff ^^. So there is going to be some of that in the next few posts. It is a fun style to play with too.And then I will go back to being my eclectic self 🙂 I built this outfit around this PaperDolls Harness Dress.I played with the black and whitish look, with the hint of color coming from the pale skin and the rose of the lips. Hope you like it as much as I liked doing it! ❤

Standing Ovation for Madame Krystalle

Madame Krystalle’s Cabaret Performance Receives Standing Ovation.

Krystal has found a job at the local cabaret, it is not the Folies Bergères, but it helps pay the bills and get her name out there. Her stage name is Madame Krystalle and, after only a few weeks performing, her success is established. She sings every night for a full club and is very proud to do so without the help a microphone, “A Capella, like Edith Piaf”, she always says. As long as she keeps singing or even talking, the public is mesmerized. Her voice has something magic. When she was a child, she already showed special skills to entertain a wide audience of little girls at the orphanage with her songs and jokes. She is a very independent self-taught woman and she likes to be in control of every part of her show.

She writes her own songs and sews her own costumes from head to toe. She does so at night, after the shows, then rests during the day. She is a night owl and does not see much sunlight, which she says is alright, as she likes keeping her skin pale. Most of her outfits are black and simple, although extremely elegant, like this dress spiced up by a feather boa and a lace and feathers headpiece. She feels very comfortable in it and knows that all the men’s eyes in the room are on her as she finishes her show and bows to her public.

Obsessed

So here comes my confession ^^

I am obsessed. I have been obsessed with Second Life for the last 7 years, sometimes less, sometimes more, but I always come back to it even though sometimes I need a break.

With time, my obsessions inside SL have changed. Love came and love went, I spent some time roleplaying a Master/Slave relationship, being a vampire and blooming into a clan Queen, roleplaying in Gor, you name it… the obsessions changed, but they were always there.

The only obsession that remained since day one and never left me is… of course… shopping. That is one steady obsession. I still remember my first days hoarding thousands of freebies that clugged my inventory for at least 3 years, then the joy of having found the way to get some linden dollars and actually buying things… a skin at Laq, a dress at Indyra, nice heels… I have never stopped buying clothes, skins, hair, shoes, eyes… ever since. Have you ? 🙂

With the years obsessions changed, but I never grew tired of buying pretty things and dressing up my avatar, which I like to call playing paperdolls. I do it over and over and over again. I buy something I like, then build a head to toe outfit from there, including clothes, eyes, hair, shoes, skin, jewelry. And when I’m done… I start over again… and again… and again… If I had to describe my style, I would say I am casual most of the time. I am a brought up by hippies jeans-tee shirt-flats kind of girl, and I think I’m a bit like that when it comes to dress my avatar. Casual-pretty dresses-boho-hippy-ish with a liking for gothic-punk-dark-ish things (and I might pull a gown off my sleeve occasionaly just because I have decided to be a princess that day). Oh and I love heels. They’re just so pretty and on SL you don’t have to sprain your ankles to walk with them. I love that. That and teleport! Isn’t teleporting absolutely amazing? Personally, it is the first thing that brought me joy in SL. Now you have to know I’m a bit silly.

Exploring Second Life is also something I enjoy, visiting new sims (there are some wonderful creations out there), and I’d rather take my avatar on a journey to find a nice shooting spot, than taking studio pictures, even though I will take shots right in my home occasionally.

I also love taking pictures, that has also been a steady obsession. It started when I was a six year old suntanned wild kid and continued ever since… I need to take pictures. I have had times in my life when I couldn’t for a reason or another, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I also studied photography and video for a few years in an earlier stage of my life, when photography was still made with rolls and in dark rooms with all kinds of stinky products. So it was a bit like witch and magic school. You shook up potions and images appeared.

So a while ago, I thought I might as well start a Second Life blog, where I could share my obsessions/passions for shopping, dressing up my avatar, exploring second life and taking pictures altogether and tadaaaa, this blog was born!

Reader, as Jane Eyre would say (oh, right, I also have an obsession with literature, so the occasional words, quotes… inspired posts might appear here and there), thank you so much for your attention, I hope you enjoy your visit 🙂

XOXO
