Mysti

 

I met Mysti when I was Halloween hair hunting. We talked and became friends, she took me to her fav hair/skin shop, DrLife and invited me to her home. I asked her if I could do a blog item on her because she has such a cute avi. 

Yesterday I visited her at her home in the sky, above the house of her SL parents, whom she knows now for 2 years. Two years is a long time in SL, Mysti puts it down to the fact that her SL Mum is always around when she needs help and that she has been a support right from the beginning.

I liked her home immediately, it's lovely and so nicely decorated. Mysti told me she spends a lot of time there. When I asked her why a child avi she said  'that's a long story, do you have enough time?' I told her I had, so she told me the whole story.

Afterwards we went dancing and had great fun. She is a nice person and don't let her avi misguid you she is a bright intelligent woman!

Thanks so much Mysti for letting me in!

SaliMar

Smiling and me visited this creative 'art experience' at SaliMar, an enchanting very well made sim. Smiling said 'there goes my reputation when you blog this item.....' Sorry sweetie, but I think many will be interested to have a look at this artistic sim.
Salimar is a residential place, a medieval Tuscany kind of town on a hill, where people can share art experiences. It's also a community you can join, the SaliMar group organizes music events and other forms of art. There is even a blog: http://salimarblog.com
All made possible by the gentle owners and builders of the place Mila and Rod. 


Smiling and me we did not have much time to wander around the place. I entered (of course) with my feet in the water and we walked over the bottom of the ocean beneath the legs of a giant woman to a small exhibition place where we found hot artistic nude pictures, a sort of SL porn or was it the Second Life Botticelli?
I liked the pictures; high quality. I show you the hottest one (of course, big smile).


The house in the sky is great fun too. Well don't linger go and explore. Here's your taxi to SaliMar

Mr. and Mrs Redgrave

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Redgrave..
Nope this is not my first Redgrave skin and I'm sure it will not be my last, but hey I love the new Jessica skin, coz it's so different from all the others I have. I bought it after walking around in the demo version for a few days ;-)
This skin makes me a redhaired girl and I like it for a change. Lots of freckles, red lips and smokey eyes.


Matt is wearing his Redgrave Cruz skin, although he bought a demo of Craig, the new Redgrave male skin a few days ago, which is btw awesome on his avi. However, he did not have time to go and buy it.

Mysterious Wave

This afternoon Smiling was here and he tp-ed me to an awesome sim called 'Mysterious Wave', aww really enchanting AND this time I entered the place with dry feet (landed on solid ground). Well not for long coz there's a lot of water there. 


The sim is made by the French artist Cherry Manga. No notecard or other info to be obtained so I clicked on the land and I got the following info: 'sim minimalist , sculptures exhibition on a musical and outstanding atmosphere that inspires creativity . A world apart: art, sculpture, concert and plant by Cherry Manga , Elfe Imako & Anley Piers'. 

Wow Smiling and me we liked the place; so creative and full of surprises and works of art. Reminded me a bit of Bryn Oh's Immersiva. 


We walked around and of course I took too many pictures. We noticed Cherry was there and we IM-ed her. A friendly lady, telling us we were welcome to explore and blog ;-)
Let my pictures tell the story...

Intrigued like to see more? Here is your taxi to Mysterious Wave

But hey, what the heck that's marketing AND it's a nice house, low prim (164) and not too large (30x12 meters). Interested? More details see the link or IM the maker.

Michiel Bechir, a photographer

one of the works of Michiel

not a standard exhibition area 

posing with my friend Michiel in front of one of his works  

Yesterday evening I had an appointment with my friend Michiel to talk about the exhibition in which he is taking part with 4 of his works. Wow this exhibition space was not the regular dull building, but an open space with lots of flowers and grass.  

Let me start with introducing Michiel Bechir: he is Dutch like me and one of the few SL friends I have known for ages. We both love travelling a lot in RL as well as in SL. He sends me LM's to awesome places and sometimes we go exploring together.
He is also one of the few SL friends with whom I share RL info. For instance last year he informed me about a super nice villa with a private pool on the Greek isle of Cephalonia in which he had stayed in spring. I went there in autumn and had a lovely holiday at this truly awesome villa and ditto island.  

Michiel explained his passion for taking pictures in SL and showing them to a broad audience:

'I try to capture exceptional and/or beautiful places in SL. Most of the time my pictures don't show people but landscapes and special constructions, but also surroundings that have unique characteristics. The new SL viewers have extensive possibilities to adjust the settings (i.e. sky & water) which I like to experiment with. I try to picture an SL place in a way I experience it, I seek the ultimate representation.  

The places I shoot are usually very quiet, that's why I have the idea not many people know about these unique places. With my pictures I hope in a modest way to give more publicity to these awesome sims, and inspire people to visit them.

I noticed the quality of the sims is getting better and better over the years, which inspires me to seek new worlds that are suitable to shoot.'

Inspired, like to visit? Here is your taxi to the exibition space.

But best part is; this is only the prototype, MD-1 will be able to fly around on it's own and Matt biggest wish is to have MD-1 talk to me ..... (big smile)

Stairs

When I see a staircase nowadays I cannot help but take extra care when descending. Reason: I felt down RL stairs a few months ago. I won't bother you with drama stories, but I was shaken when the Xray pics taken last week showed that my back did break during that fall. At least this explains why there is still pain after months of sessions with my physio/manual- therapist. 

So this 'broken' girl in RL shows you an intact girl in SL sitting on the stairs.
