Camp chairs, hunts and general mayham...Week 4



This has been a week of unaccomplished tasks. Things I wanted to do didn't get done. Unplanned shopping trips, and lack of patience with the camp chairs meant I wasn't one of the hundreds of Avies by now wearing the dress from Evie's closet. Ivalde had a great sale though with lots of deals on black dresses, I bought a few and promptly lost a skirt from one of them, from my inventory
while taking photo's. (something script related I think...) And there was a great hunt but I forgot the name of it! Most hunts end up with getting a lot of cute but never worn items that get purged from my inventory months later.

Dresses, Ivalde , Skin, Redgrave - Jennifer, Eyes, Redgrave, Shoes, L&E Hitomi, Ears, Illusions
(rest to follow..:))

Week 3 - We're off to see the Wizard !!















































The Magic of Oz is a new sim based on one of my favorite Children's stories (by Frank Baum) and Classic Movies.




This sim has shopping and is also a beautiful recreation of the places in the story. Here you will find the Emerald City, Munchkinland, the Witches Castle and even the flying Monkeys!

My latest incarnation has me exploring the wild places of SL as a faun.

Body (my own pixie); legs, horns from Titania's Court by Rian Maltese, Skin and eyes by Redgrave, Jennifer Skin, Julia Eyes, Clothes; Stitched by Vigo Creations, Brown Cuffs PE-MO spike Cuff, Poses by LAP.

Week 2 - Burning Life, A Day in the Lag, and a Faun......









Cave, Burning life Arrival Area

The Man!!

Yesterday I took in a fashion show at Burning Life. The show was at Centre Camp and it was a fun and somewhat wacky look at the

Burning life theme.



Needless to say there was a lot of lag. After taking off most of my attachments and reducing my prims, I was surprised to see an
Avie with 11K prims!!!

These are some of the Models for the show. (and lots of prims are expected for them!)

Taking in Burning life is somewhat of a challenge. You can watch the shows and events which are ongoing. You can try to see most of the builds which I have been doing today by flying around the sims. You can also do a tour by following the webpage and clicking on SLURLS.
(Some fun stuff there.) http://burninglife.secondlife.com/

You may find yourself logging out and back in a few times when your 'puter gets overloaded...

Probably the best way to experience BL is to do so as a builder, scripter or in many of the various volunteer positions available to you. There is so much to see you almost need to be there for a whole week to really experience it.

Burning Life is a microcosm of Second life without all the money and commerce. There are plenty of Freebies, lots to do and see, and just about all the creative people in SL are involved.
Like SL it has all the negatives as well, Lag...., a confusing scheme, (just ask someone for a map of the place), and a somewhat disjointed atmosphere. One day in the future, when all is seamless in the metasphere, we may be nostalgic for the days when things were still being worked out.
I must admit my analog mind does get dizzy sometimes!
