Pose Fair 2012

PF2012

Pose Fair 2012 opened April 15th, and runs through April 30th, 2012.  Plenty of time to visit the 120 stores that are participating.  Two sims full of favorites, and I’m sure you will still find a few ‘new to you’ places!  The regions are arranged  with a variety of stores and family oriented stores on POSE FAIR NORTH, and more mature and adult content stores on POSE FAIR SOUTH.  For a listing of stores, and slurls check out the Pose Fair 2012 post here.

Pose Fair 2012 also is having a Photography Competition on Flickr, with judging taking place on May 2nd.  Featuring prizes of $15,000L for First Place, $10,000L for Second Place, and $5,000L for Third Place!

Around The Metaverse

Fishkill, NY

The day is over, time to relax on a warm blanket.
Toasted

Ami : Go, I think Mrs Grouch is watching us.

GoSpeed: Let her watch, She has no power over me at all.

Ami: Really?

GoSpeed: Yup, if someone is going to hold a grudge for years, not say a word about it for years, and then throw it in your face without explaining why? You then come to the realization they really don’t mean much in the grand scheme of things.

Ami: I would pity them.

GoSpeed: Why bother, it’s a waste of time and feelings. I’d rather feel good about someone than hate them or pity them. If they want to clear the air fine, otherwise I can do as I please.

Ami: Nods…. So what did you do today?

GoSpeed: I visited a nice large estate with plenty of open water and committed  acts of mass genocide.

Sunset in the Fruit Islands

Ami: What?

GoSpeed: I went fishing in my German trawler. I netted whole schools of fish and other sea life (including baby seals), asphyxiated them in the dry air and then placed them in  crates full of ice.

Ani: Go, you’re nuts.

GoSpeed: Yes I am!

Sailing the Seas of SL

In the past two months my interest in Second Life has picked up with the advent of my rediscovering of sailing and flying. Flying is a bit trickier than sailing as the average speed is much higher. This higher velocity makes sim crossings more hazardous and exposes you to more ban lines and full parcels. Typically in the past sailboats were the ship to use. Powered boats were frowned upon as crass and too easy to use. That’s all changed now and powered vessels are common place on the grid’s waterways. Me being different prefers the bigger, less common ships. Ships like oil tankers, aircraft carriers and destroyers:

See you on the high seas!

Year In Review: Top 5 Blogs in 2011

There are so many lists out there of all the cool stuff you should buy in Second Life. All the top designers, shoe makers, skins, poses, blah blah blah. Well, what about the girls who spend their free time and money advertising all these beautiful things for YOU!

Whether you like it or not, bloggers are part of the equation. I wanted to share, because no one asked me to, some of my personal favorites.

NOTE: I do not know ANY of these people in Second Life or in real life.

COUTURE PHOTOGRAPHY

Syra Hyun
This woman knows how to put some shit together and make it sing. She has a stunning eye for detail and beautiful composition in her photographs. They are totally works of art.  Also, if you look back at her beginning 2011 you can see how much she has developed her skills. She’s gotten more brash and bold about doing avant garde images and doesn’t seem afraid of anything you put in front of her.

Just Look…s…

Just sharing a couple “looks” with you today…

First… have you ever seen something, maybe on flickr or a fashion feed and desperately either wanted to try the item or maybe get something from the designer and gone out of your mind to find out where it was from?
That is what I did for this, hair…
In the end, once Sweety shared it with me, I did not get THAT hair but, I did end up with this adorable hair because, I felt it fit my style better.
So of course, I am sharing it with you!

TWO Things I Am Loving Right NOW!

Two things that will warm any heart.

1. Mia Snow’s Winter Pine Trees

I follow Mia on her flickr and when I saw her Winter Pine Trees pop up on the Contacts, I was enchanted.

These trees are a welcome diversity from all the tradition “holiday-gasm” we are going to be seeing over the next month. They are beautiful, artistic, and totally MODIFY! I have a bone to pick with a number of bulk nature builders in Second Life. Nothing is ever Modify rights!? It’s like you have to buy a 100 pack just to get all the size options, and then you’re stuck for an hour trying to figure out which fucking tree fits in your shop or home. It totally chaps my ass.

So, THANK YOU MISS MIA SNOW. I love you so very much. You’ve solved all my problems in one beautiful blow! You’ve made well crafted sculpted trees and now I can adjust them to fit EVERYWHERE and ANYWHERE!

I highly recommend you picking these up. They are only $300L and you get 8 versions. Here’s a taxi to her shop! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Twomoons%20Island/54/26/22

2. Arctic Greenhouse’s Red Poinsettia

My second love right now is Arctic Greenhouse, mainly for the poinsettia. You see, in real life, I have cats. Cats and poinsettia are NOT a good combo because they are poisonous to those little guys. So in the name of all things Second Life, if I can’t do it in reality – I WILL DO IT IN SL!

Heh.

Honestly, these are the most beautiful sculpted flowers. Every flower that Arctic Greenhouse has, and they have A LOT, is really beautifully created. You can tell that creator, Logan Bauer, really has a genuine love for floral arranging and gardening. He sees not only in the beauty of what it is, but what it can become.

Here’s a taxi to his shop: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Alternate%20Reality/140/157/54

Random pics

Yeah, still suspended from G+ . It sucks watching all my SL friends use the service while I am in a penalty box. I’ve been reviewed after 2 weeks and apparently it is my name that is causing the hang up. I will try to keep the GoSpeed name if I can. If that’s still a no go then why bother? In the meantime enjoy some meme pictures I’ve created with GIMP:

Hair Fair 2011 – Hair Fair Photo Contest II !

Whose Hair Will you Wear

It is time for our Second Hair Fair 2011 Photo Contest. When this years build was created, it was always the intention of the committee to make it as photogenic as possible. We invited aDORKable Poses to join us once again in this endeavour. This year they have exceeded our expectations, and the sims are really fun to be at.

Many have already taken such incredible pictures of the builds, we want to step that up into a mix of Hair Fairs latest releases, you and the pose oppurtunities available. This contest starts NOW and will end on the day after Hair Fair officially closes – which is the 16th of July at midnight.

The photo you enter must have you – or someone granting you permission to take their pic – in the photo with NEW Hair Fair 2011 hair on. Posed on one of the aDORKable poseballs set up at the fair, with the prop and/or fairground in the background. The hair must be recognisable as Hair Fair 2011 hair, and the pose must also be recognisable as one at the event. So be careful when cropping your pictures.

You will find all the rules on the flickr group page, but please please make sure you tag the photos and put the description in as asked. Failure to do so will void your entry, and that makes us cry.
