“The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements – the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution – weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.”
― Lawrence M. Krauss, A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing
Carl Sagan said we are all star-stuff and shooting these pictures for this post made me think of him. The keke glitter constellations and the anc. mist clouds made me think of galaxies and nebulae. The windswept magical dreaminess of the Papillon dress from Moon Amore only added to that. It comes with a color change hud that allows wearers to choose colors for the bodice, skirt and embellishments. This particulate texture has a field of clouds that inspired the direction I took with the shoot. The fluttering of butterflies are optional. You can wear the skirt with no butterflies, with just the butterflies on the skirt or with the long kite tail of butterflies. As you can see, I went for maximum butterfly. The outfit also comes with a gift of balloons, but left them out. The balloons come in a range of pastel colors to coordinate with the dress.
I used the Stockholm&Lima Daydream curtain to “ground” myself in the heavens. Besides it is covered with butterflies. It also has a texture change touch script that allows you to choose from several breeds of butterfly.
Exile’s gorgeous You Send Me hair was the perfect choice as it blows in the wind like the skirt. What I really like about this style is that it looks good from several angles, not just straight on from the front.
LODE made a wonderfully beautiful head and face accessory set with flowers and moths. I am not sure if I could stand still with moths on my face in my first life, but my avatar has tremendous self control. The skin is Glam Affair’s Avril applied to the Stella Lelutka mesh head.
Sleekly curving Daydream pumps from Garbaggio come in a wide range of colors with a lovely moonbeam sheen to them. Go to Collabor88 for these and most of the items mentioned in this post.
