Oxbridge photography maestro (maestress?) Beth Pentewyn has a project in hand for SL9B, which includes shots of various Caledonians posed artfully around their dwelling places and creations. She was kind enough to ask Tali and me to be a part of this.... So, fully steampunked up, we spent a while posing for her in the control room at the tower in Burroughs! I wasn't expecting to get any particular mileage out of the control room, yet, but the various dials and levers, and a Bondar-Foehammer Mini-Aurora airship parked outside the glass wall, made for quite a fun backdrop, in the end.
Beth has already recruited several genuine Caledon notables to the cause, and was last seen snapping Sauce Sorrowman as he sat pensively at his chessboard. I will be interested to see what the final exhibit looks like! It will be good, I know; Beth has an eye for these things.

They seek her here, they seek her there...
No, not the Scarlet Pimpernel... think Kinks, instead.
I have been fiddling about with potential outfits for an Ashraya Project photoshoot, as I mentioned a couple of posts back.... This fashion thing is hard work, really, isn't it? I thought the only effort involved would be in opening the boxes and deciding what to wear, but deciding what goes with what to construct the look we want for a shot (Tali is doing the photography. I pose, she goes off into RL and works her digital alchemy via PhotoShop, and eventually I see the results. Which, so far, are distinctly interesting. But I digress) is not as easy as it sounds.
I suppose, really, this is bleed-through from RL... I do not get to be glamorous in RL! And, since SL-me mostly looks good without effort, I tend to coast along on that... so, working out exactly how to fit together makeup and hair and clothing for the best effect, rather than just a good-enough effect, is more of a challenge than I expected.
Still, I progress, I think. And at least my evil hunting habit is paying off, in that I know lots of places where I can get gear I want, if I don't have it. Last night involved a trip out to Gugu Dada for specialist lipstick. In RL, I don't even wear lipstick, not more than once in a blue moon, anyway. Normally I just smack myself in the mouth instead.
So... At the very least, some interesting photos are on the cards. (Evening gown from Azul, accessorized with an Alruneia Sentry cyber-fantasy helmet and visor, anyone?)

Today I are been mostly wearing...
Developments aplenty in my personal SL, but it is not quite time to disclose them all yet... so, in the meantime, and in lieu of any more rants about TPV policy, here is the outfit I wore to the Founder's Day Ball.
Dress, "Tango" from Lady Thera; stiletto pumps from MEB; jewelry from Lazuri; hair, an old standby, "Carolina Jasmine" from Calla; skin from Obsidian's "Truth" line, with body shine from DeVicious and tattoo makeup from Glamorize; eyes, a custom job given me by an ex; AO, "Cassie" from Maldita (no longer around, I think, which is a shame, if so); physics package (not visible in this still shot, but trust me, it's effective) of my own design. I think that's the lot. This SL fashionista thing is hard work, isn't it? Don't think I'll be doing much more of this!
