My SecondLife Confashions

Taste of Caffeine - Bitter Indulgence The only thing i know about coffee aside from it's aromatic scent, texture and strength; it awakens you. It is a morning routine and a must have that I need my coffee black after my relaxing thought process at 5am, followed by the my daily running, making me feel more alive and to top it off, the taste of caffeine. It is a reminder to snap out of it from everything I get lost and tangle in my dreams; a reality check after the much needed slumber. There are many thoughts layered in my mind and one thing I pride having to train my thoughts; I sometimes let logic rule my brain to justify my emotions and reactions. It is my only safe-proof saviour to differ and separate between Facts and Perceptions. My world is black and white mostly. As much as I love second Life with its idea for a story-line, especially to those budding writers who wish to experience or bringing their stories to life virtually. The Roleplays for those who love a good

My Virtual world of stories The photography that i have done today is taken from my own house. It took me quite some time to find the bookshelf that I needed. It was pricey at first to grab it and at the same time having to assemble it by myself. However when I read the note card that the Creator who made the title that says 'The NC you'll never read', I ended up reading it instead and found it hilarious with a strong justification on why the bookcase is priced in such. Poor guy painstakingly made all 100 copies to be exact and so this firmed my decision to buy it!. Yea that note card that you thought I would never read.. i did and it was worth it because without it, i would not be able to come up with this entry idea. A world of role playing in Second Life is like a window to a library of unlimited imaginations; Anything is possible and sometimes these role playing stories that I partake are never ending. This is the reason why i am still here after all these ye

It has been a long time since I last updated my blog. Been busy in real life. That is just one excuse, secondly it is more to finding the right idea for my second life photography art and the story to it. After more than 2 months of balancing avatar, person and the idea of my next post. I have got it. With the recent event of Enhancement, I so loves. It brings out the childhood memories of mine with these stories. I do hope they have more of these Fun fairy tale events. You can teleport the event here - Enchantment First things first, I love the new Vista bento hands. I am not using any pose, just pure AO and patiently waiting for the right animation. Also, my favourite part of the event is the Hair <3 Totally love em from Tableau Vivant.

Lights.. Camera.. Action.. Drama.. AHH! Drama is unavoidable in Second Life; there is always something made up, something out of nothing. I guess this what makes the world goes around both virtual and real. People are always watching, people are always judging; this what makes most of us hide and conceal ourselves wearing a mask. In this case, our avatars. The only viewers seeing this through the lens are our own eyes. therefore, not forgetting an important message, I always remind myself.  Only you know the real you. Today's event @ UberSl, I enjoy their theme which is called "Famous" it gave me the inspiration to have this photography done. special thanks to Tyrant Laffer for allowing me to use his house to capture this new addition to my second life memories.

Rainy days at a wonderful picturesque sim It has been a while since I've last update my entry, there was so many ideas, events and other new releases but very little time. Second Life is a fast paced time where a month seemed like a year and the days moved like the time; so very quickly. Often, I forgot to pause and enjoy the moments. Today, I decide to halt my time and enjoy this beautiful place, admiring the carefully but detailed environment of this sim. It did not take me long to figure out the best angle or location, I simply rocked up in this attire and found my perfect spot; the bridge overlooking the playful swans or ducks. The rainy environment in this photo is done by me. Therefore, this is the only extra enhancements I did for this picture. My favourite time is always the Morning Rain.

Arch-angel second life photo  This is a little piece of Second Life photography work I did and thanks to this beautiful and poetic sim known as Preiddeu Annwn. It gave me the inspiration to bring the entire picture to life. My concept of this photo is about an angel guiding the spirit ships to the heavens.Clad in Astralia's beautiful make from the newly launched Garden gacha event, I was able to realised this imagery from my imagination. Second Life has kept me busy, but of all things I find joy in my blogs and practising my photography. The downfall in second life sometimes that people you met expect you to react as if the world revolves around them. These expectations comes in the roles of your time, your attention and sometimes your money; All to satisfy their fun in the game. Do not give in. No matter how close your years of friendship to these selfish ones. Remember, to strike a balance between your fun in Second Life and your Reality world. I once told a dear fri

United Colors Latest Release from UberSL  I am very proud of this outfit designed by a special friend.

If you try to, you will be hurt yourself through the sharp spikes embedded into this fabric. Congratulations United Colors for this marvelous design. Furthermore, I truly enjoyed the hair fair which their objectives served a wonderful cause for the kids. Do check out their website by clicking the Hair Fair 2016 blog here.

My Balancing Act  After 2 years of Second Life hiatus and back to focusing in my Real Life. I have returned to this virtual world - at first for a friend and now, reassessing myself within this virtual reality. I remember in the earlier days where I've got drawn into this game and ended up losing my reality. That 2 year break helped me to find the balance; furthermore, my very own SL friends themselves reminding me that second life should be our platform where we gather and share our interest, fun and life. While at the same time, it is a gateway to knowledge sharing and gateway. I have made penpals to some of SL Friends exchanging post cards and gifts; but of course the caution to Second Life experiences; we have to be careful who we give our real life details to.

Creative business ideas, hanging out with friends at fashion events, dressing up like twins and most importantly - friendship, love

+gemposes+ on the edge post - photography by huntressmoon darkmatter Tita and I visited on the second day of Epiphany when it opened yesterday (well technically 2 days ago). I enjoyed being Isleen's personal shopper. I guess having friends to attend the gacha not only helps you save money but also easier to trade amongst ourselves. This is what I enjoy about Second Life, it is not only about the awesome events but having to share them with your friends.

Redrum Subway designed by Bennynatural Carter and Onagh Ashbourne Aside from just another fashion blog and promoting our poses, I do enjoy a good sim location and view. I believe they do provide a good additions in enhancing Second Life photography with environment. The challenge on doing such photography art is having the right wind light, shadows and most importantly, the angle. I have more to learn about it, takes practise to get it just right.

Music for my soul artwork After days of reading tutorials, studying artwork from other designers and also speaking to some, I managed to piece the ideas together. Special mentioned to Ninip resident, whom I just met while he was doing his photoshot with a friend of mine. You can check out his works here -  Ninip Resident Flickr Yeap, I had my recent wave of designer's block again and speaking to him helped me sparked the idea to come out with this concept. I must say I truly enjoy talking to other talents here in Second Life. Today's highlight is the Epiphany event which I always look forward to attend. I actually managed to get in on the second week. But thanks to my monster block, it took me a while to churn out this photography theme. Literally feeling the epiphany Jumping on my funky chair at my home studio, Above is how I felt when I managed to get into the event at a full sim.

Collabor 88 April Event I admit that I do have more works kept compared to the ones that I have displayed. Always felt it was not good enough, not that I have missed out those events; believe me I am so in love with such environment. My biggest challenge is fighting to get into a full sim after multiple tries of trying to teleport in - just to get the latest scope and attire. I am a blogger, but I am not tied to any designers. This is because of the freedom I enjoy in working on my arts; I believe in quality over time frames - I really cannot keep up with the deadlines. Second Life Art requires me to get into the mood, to feel the avatars and the type of emotions I want to invoke. Day by day, I am slowly learning and speeding up my works. I proud to announce that this took me a day to complete - compare to a week or two or sometimes grrrr, I end up tearing my entire works and just chuck it aside. It was not good enough. learning how to create environment as photography pr

Sunrise to a new era My, my. How time flies. First off, I have started Second Life since May 25, 2009. It was a joke to me at first when I've met my rl friend who spoke about such things; Mind you I've found it to be ridiculous at first. After a few months later, I decided to give it a try. And here I am, fast forward close to 7 years later. I am still here - Occasional off and on RL of course. I am sure, a lot of people would have experienced quite the similar cycles of this second life. The new beginnings of a friendship, the lovers, the heart broken, tragedy, marriages and even death. I never expect to still be in SL after all this time. Though, I can tell you this; that it is not an escape from my RL. But, it is my little rabbit hole to connect with my old friends over the years. RESURRECTION BLOOD FAMILY SIM HOME - SLBloodlines The sim that I have decided to feature today for my photoshoot is a secondlife Bloodlines location, known as the Resurrection Blood

After being more active in blogging for the second life fashion scene, I have realised that it gets harder than it looks. The more that I practise in my photo design skills, the more I become very OCD in the outcome of the images. Thus, leading to the end result of having both Artistic and Writer's block. So.. hate that. I guess I could just speed up my work by merely taking a snapshot and then playing with the lightning, but I can't. Pose Fair Today's look has a little twist in vintage design and futuristic geometrics art with a sprinkle of sexy to it. It took me a while to finally find the perfect accessories top, before that I use to wear it as a cloth but ever since I went full mesh avatar, such top was hard to find; until Shiny Shabby Event. What am I wearing; Hair: Tierney by TRUTH Hair @ The Fantasy Collective Accessories top and bracelet: Manis GOLD by Bauhus Movement @  Shiny Shabby Nails: Precious Nails & Rings - Square by RealEvil Industries 

Arden Vesuvino and Huntressmoon Darkmatter collaboration photography shoot I had a fun time having to collaborate with Arden, seeing that we both enjoy customizing our avatars and taking photos to edit. I admit it was rather impulsive and in a short time, we managed to get the location and the type of pose that we want. You may view his works on his Flickr account here; Arden Vesuvino Flickr My Flickr Account if you wish to follow; Huntressmoon Darkmatter Flickr The kind of look and feel that I was going for this time, is eerie but painted with colorful bokeh brushes. I don't know about other cultures but here when we see a lot of orbs; it is normally meant for wandering spirits around you. The sim that we took the photography, you may visit it by clicking on the slurl below.

When it comes to Role Play characters especially in Second Life, I tend to pick the races that are unique and researches are required in order to combine with my imaginations. Before, I was playing as the Lythari and I should post it up next time along with my mesh avatar upgrades. References; http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Avariel http://www.candlekeep.com/library/articles/avariel2.htm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elf_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)#Forgotten_Realms A little background of my roleplaying characters; In regard of any races that I choose to select; whether it is vampire, lycans, sidhes, human, neko, lythari or my avariel, she would always have signature physical trait. Which is, her chimeric or heterochromia eyes; one blue and the other green. The other would be the crescent moon on her forehead. These are the only things that I would not change. You can say it is like a piece of my soul inside every character that I create and unfortunately, they are no

Over the years, I have been watching a lot of tutorials, studying on the edits and also referring to many talented bloggers; especially in their sense of style and photography. I have also been an avid follower of Strawberry Singh and have learned a lot through her tutorials; you can view more by clicking HERE Thank you for sharing your knowledge, though I may not be at your level of experience, you have helped inspired mine. As you visit my flickr, my photography edits are slowly evolving; i hope! I must admit, I do have my moods. After so many years, I finally have the courage to engage her to do one of my profile picture. the outcome; Iconic. Thank you again for everything. Autographed by Strawberry Singh herself <3 and special credits goes to her. Note: Blogging is my passion. I try to buy stuff most of the time from designers to contribute in the SL fashion environment and for their hard work. What I am wearing in this picture; Outfit by Blueberry - Lola Tops

Along these hollowed halls, Night has fallen casts in shadows, Alluring tranquil beckons you to follow.
