May the Forth Be With You

I’ll admit it – I’m a geek. I’ve loved Star Wars since I was a kid, and have always gotten a giggle from May 4th being Star Wars Day because of the easy replacement of the date into the series’ phrase “May the Force be with you.” With today being that date, I wanted to do a little tribute photo to the series.

None of these items are particularly new, but I love both the atmosphere and the outfit that I was able to assemble. I hope you like it too!

Perfectly Relaxing

I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for summer to get here. Thankfully, Trompe Loeil is helping is get ready early with this amazing new set that they released at FaMESHed, which opened yesterday. The set consists of two different types of chairs (one with a towel on it, one without) in both white and black wood, a beach towel, this pool area, and a free umbrella as a gift to celebrate FaMESHed’s fourth anniversary. All of the fabrics have a ton of different texture choices, which just adds to the awesomeness of the set.

There are also a couple of great accent pieces here from a new gacha set by ChiMia from a machine at this month’s Gacha Garden. The lemonade can bucket and beach bag really add a lot to the scene, I think.

In addition, one of my favorite stores, [ kunst ], has released this great new leather cuff for the event MIX. It’s so incredibly customizable, so it’s sure to fit whatever outfit you put it with. Enjoy this early taste of summer! I know that I will.

Defending the Throne

Like many people, I enjoy the TV show Game of Thrones. I’ve been waiting for the new season since the last one ended last year, and rushed to watch the first episode when it came out a couple of days ago. Then I saw this rendition of the Iron Throne from the series that Amitie released at Lost and Found, and knew I had to do a photo that included it. The photo is not a re-creation of any particular moment from the show or the books that it is based on.

One of my favorite events of the year, the Fantasy Faire, opened its gates last week, and I have pulled in a couple of the Relay For Life donation items as decor pieces for this castle.

Full credits for the outfit and scene are below.

Captured

I really love sci-fi and fantasy, so this time of year when Second Life’s Fantasy Faire is open is like heaven for me. There’s not too much science fiction there, but the fantasy elements are incredible, and from a wide range of creators. For this photo, I used the Puzzle Orb (Silver) from !Musa! as an accent piece, along with many pieces from Neurolab to create an alien atmosphere for the photo. The real star of the show, though, is the restraint and pose set from Ama. and Nais, at the event ROMP. They really give this photo so much feeling and emotion.

There’s also a non-PG version of this photo that is be on my Flickr. As it is a Restricted-rated photo with full frontal nudity, you need to be signed in on a Flickr account to see it. It is how I truly pictured this photo looking.

Temptation

When I first saw these wings from Blueberry at The Epiphany, I was so sad that they were in a gacha machine full of female items. Then, I saw just how good they were, and I decided that I needed them anyway. They were definitely worth what I spent getting them. Paired with these pants and boots that just came out from [Body Factory] at Men Only Monthly, it makes for a perfect look for an incubus.

One Shining Moment

As soon as I saw this basketball gacha set that Bad Unicorn was releasing at The Epiphany, I knew I had to do a photo like this using one of the event-exclusive animations. I just love how high-quality it all is, especially the rare basketball court. With the right lighting, I think it really pops and becomes spectacular.

This hair is also brand new from Tableau Vivant at Kustom 9. It’s a big change for me, but I like it!

Sick Day

I was feeling fine when I went to bed last night, but I woke up this morning with a sore throat and congestion. I guess I caught something from the guy I was next to on the plane flying home a few days ago. Lucky for me, Dynasty came out with their “Care Package” gacha set at The Epiphany a couple of days ago. It looks great with the the Stationed in Soho set from Sayo at the same event. Seriously, though, this couldn’t have been better-timed to match what’s going on for me right now in my real life. It’s crazy how things work out like that sometimes!

After the Game

A friend of mine recently held a sportswear-themed event, which had me scrambling to figure out what to wear. I came up with this outfit, which I totally love. I must admit, I have a *bit* of a sportswear fetish, especially for American-style football players. Now that I’m back from my trip, I decided to throw together a locker room set and photograph this outfit. The shoulder pads are no longer available, but after I told the creator (who happens to be a friend of mine) that there really weren’t any good football pads out there, he’s going to put them back on his Marketplace store soon! There is also a much more adult version of this image, which can be seen on my Flickr stream! I’m pretty excited, because this is the first adult photograph that I’ve put out there for public viewing. take a peek and let me know what you think!

Tropical Winds

I’m currently a tropical paradise in Real Life, but when I saw this new shirt at The Men’s Department from Fabulous and Trendy, I knew I had to photograph it in a tropical locale in-world immediately. Unfortunately, that means the photo quality is a bit lower than usual, since I’m on my laptop. I also love these jeans, which are at the same event.
