Chantal - a magnificent gown from Sissy Pessoa's new collection.
The broken glass
And the rusty nails
Where the violets grow
Say goodbye to the railroad
And the mad dogs of summer
And everything that I know
The opulent steampunk castle at Elonia seemed a perfect place to shoot the diamonds and gold.
What some men will do here for diamonds
What some men will do here for gold
They’re wounded but they just keep on climbin’
And they sleep by the side of the road

Still playing catch-up… but I’ll get there… eventually. So, next on my list is white… Week 21 in the 52 Weeks of Color bloggers challenge. And I did a little white search in my inventory and found something I had never worn before… not because I didn’t like it… but because I rarely get this dressed up. It was a group gift from PurpleMoon Creations, a favorite of mine.

Since Gidge brought up The Sound of Music, my mind went straight to Edelweiss when I looked at the pictures from last night’s shoot.
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss,Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever
I shot these photos at the blanc part of the noir et blanc installations at World’s End. It’s such a beautiful sim and very uncluttered so it struck me as a good spot to make a short video tutorial on using the Zoom keys to change your cameral “lens” in Second Life. Most of the time we zoom by pressing down the option or alt key and ten using arrows, view or the mouse to move our camera about and to zoom in. That’s great, but it makes for very distorted close-ups. This little video will show you how the zoom controls work and contrast proper and improper methods of zoom.
I went to the World’s End last night and contrary to most apocalyptic movies, it was lovely. Dressing for the world’s end is a tricky business – do you want to get all Mad Max and ready for anything or do you want to hold fast to your own aesthetic and be at ease? I don’t know the best choice for every world’s end scenario, but for the World’s End build in Second Life, this feminine, soft pastel print dress from e!, or Eclectic Apparel and Accessories.
In the popular parlance of X Y is X, Beautiful sim is beautiful. In the preferred X Y is Z way of saying it Beautiful sim is delightful, delovely and divine.
I made a trip to WideWorld Paradise – an sim exploring surrealist art – and think I could spend hours exploring its features. When I saw this gorgeous blue tunnel with orange peacock trees, I decided to wear the blue version of the Samuela dress from LaLei. The cross-banded sequins give it a nice modern look, especially with the bit of exposed midriff. It comes in six colors, pastel pink, blue and green and cream, gold and silver.
Isn’t the setting gorgeous? When you teleport into WideWorld Paradise, you are offered several places to teleport to, but don’t rely on just that. There are surprises for the intrepid explorer.

I know, I know… I’m horribly behind on the 52 Weeks of Color Blogger’s Challenge… but I’m still doing it… so give me a lil’ credit here!
This weeks color is brought to you in a mix and match outfit I’ve tossed together. The top is from FK Virtues and the shoes are from N-Core.
I LOVE this sweater from FK Virtues. It’s very easy to adjust to fit your shoulders and the fabric texture looks sooooo soft and comfy and warm! And the off the shoulder look is just sexy enough. The shoes from N-Core, well… I have the fat pack and the color choices are just beyond crazy good! I love that you can make them shiny like patent leather or leave them a matte finish. Every part is customizable too!
Now for what you have been waiting for…. the pictures!
