The Chapter Four – Matthias Zander

Sail Away With Me

This post is a bittersweet one for me. Originally and at its core, this post is announcing that I will be out of town for the next couple of weeks, so I won’t be able to post anything during that time. It will be strange not being able to express myself through Second Life photography, but I think it’ll also be a good break.

I was also going to make this a post celebrating Pride Month, since I will be out of town until July. With the events in Orlando over the weekend, though, this post turned a bit more mournful. I hope that all of you will stay safe, and enjoy Pride Month peacefully.

Captured By An Elf

A few weeks ago, a photographer whose work I really enjoyed approached me and asked if I’d be interested in collaborating on a photo shoot with him. Today, Static Frenzy (click his name for a link to his Flickr, NSFW) and I got together and did a series of fantasy-inspired photos with him as an elf that captured me, a satyr. In the photo here on my blog, he is standing guard outside the cell that he has thrown me into. We also did some more adult photos, some of which will be posted on our Flickr photostreams soon.

In this post, I’m wearing some great new faun legs from [Gauze&Trap] that are at their main store, as well as a great vine wreath on my head from Persefona that is available at Cosmopolitan. The incredible cage that I’m trapped in is new from Pucca Firecaster Creations at We ❤ Roleplay. We were lucky that it came out just in time for this photo, because it’s perfect. The quiver of arrows on the ground is a new gacha item from Spell that is available at The Chapter Four. Full credits for my avatar and for the scene are below! Keep an eye out for the other photos coming soon to Flickr.

Surf’s Up!

N4RS has been one of my favorite furniture brands for years because of their high-quality mesh and animations, and today they released a great new surf board at Collabor88. It’s available in three different versions – a PG version that has individual poses (like the one I used for this photo) and cuddles for couples, and two adult versions – one for male/female couples and one for male/male couples.

There haven’t been many swimsuits that have come out yet this year, but I’m wearing one from Faboo. that is in a gacha machine at The Jersey Shore right now. I’m also wearing new jewelry from BENJAMINZ, [The Plastik.], and [ kunst ] that is available at The Chapter Four and The Liaison Collaborative.

Summer Starts Now

The official start to summer in the northern hemisphere isn’t for another month, but the round of Whimsical that opened today will make you feel like it’s already here! This great set from SAYO is at the event in a gacha machine, and looks like a perfect summertime reatreat. As you can see, I’ve also gone blonde for the first time in a long time! I used to be blonde, but switched to dark hair a few years ago. It’s been my goal the past couple of days to get a good blonde look put together, and this is the result.

The hair that I’m wearing is from *drot*, who I am now an official blogger for! It came out today at Whimsical, and I was able to tint it to match my hairbase really well. It also comes with a hair base, though, which is great if you don’t have one that will work with it.

At The Pub

From the first moment I saw this English pub gacha set by MadPea at 6 Republic, I knew I had to collect the whole thing. I love things like this where you can collect a matching building and interior from a machine, and it all looks put-together and cohesive in the end. The little details in the set are really great, as well. In my mind, it’s easy to imagine the noise of the patrons as the chat with each other and drink their drinks and feel the energy of a busy pub.

I’d also like to highlight the untied bowtie that I’m wearing. I recently became an official blogger for Ama. and though this is an older item of theirs that is in their main store, it’s the first thing from them that I am blogging since that happened. I’m so happy, proud, and appreciative to be on their blogging team.
