<span style="font-family: inherit;">Strawberry Singh is so demanding with her memes and her nosiness and her challenging us to do things we've never done before. I mean REALLY. Inspiring me to find a screencap thingy and make my first ever machinima. Pushy, pushy, pushy.</span><br />

<li style="list-style: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong style="font-style: inherit;">Which dance are you sharing in the image/video and where is it from?</strong> These are both dances from the <a href="http://secondlife.com/destination/ministry-of-motion" target="_blank">Ministry of Motion</a> - "Want You Bad" then "Happy Happy!" I like the second one the best because it's the dance I do when I really want to embarrass my kids. </span></li>
<li style="list-style: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong style="font-style: inherit;">Which is your favorite dance in Second Life?</strong> – There's 2 also from MiniMo. If you've known me for any length of time, then you'll know I'll bust out into either the Bootiepop or Baby Oh Yeah at any opportunity. Being in front of a live audience of hundreds never stops me either... hi, everyone still traumatised from Mr Virtual World 2011! </span></li>
<li style="list-style: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong style="font-style: inherit;">What are your favorite dance animation stores in Second Life?</strong> – Apart from Ministry of Motion; there's Humanoid, Akeyo and A&M Mocap.</span></li>
<li style="list-style: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong style="font-style: inherit;">Are you a frequent dancer in Second Life?</strong> – Unf. Yes. I used to spend an obscene amount of money on dances, and I kept an antisocial alt just for clubbing so I could bliss out on something really meaty with a ridiculous BPM and not be interrupted. I'm also happy to accompany the ladies in my life to a ballroom. I used to work for one of the top gown makers in SL, Miamai - so I could write it off on tax as market research. </span></li>
<li style="list-style: decimal; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em 3em; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong style="font-style: inherit;">Are you a frequent dancer in the real world?</strong> – I am. But only when no one's watching. </span></li>

...because in the year 2713, I'll still be around. Sure, I'll be wearing enough face spackle to regrout the Sistine Chapel; and I'll likely have grown <i>so</i> much more taller and emaciated that I won't dare stand still for more than 5 minutes in a strip club...<br />

I've been drifting around in this outfit or a while <i>(ever since the recent makeup fair, as you'll guess when you look closely)</i> frightening small children, furry animals and anyone with the faintest modicum of good taste. I know that in theory fuschia and orange are <b>so very</b> wrong together, but it totally pushes my buttons.<br />

I refuse to accept liability for any eyes that may be gouged out upon viewing this post.<br />

Dear Berry;<br />
<br />
I finally stumped up <a href="http://strawberrysingh.com/2013/06/10/my-sl-movie-poster-challenge/">and did one of your memes. </a> I know we agreed that I was going to do Twilight, but I couldn't find any Sparklepires to skin.<br />
<br />
It's just a shame that you haven't seen this movie. You'll find the <a href="http://m.iphotoscrap.com/Image/215/1297157319.jpg">source poster here. </a><br />

Last night Winter took me to <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Electrobit%20City/68/36/3228" target="_blank">Electrobit City</a>, an 8-bit wonder of the SLworld! For all avatars of the Nintendo generation, Electrobit city is run by an amazing team of 8-bit fanatics. They have created a few areas (some still under construction) where people can navigate through parts of the Mario universe in the more modern...</div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
...and 8-bit style. These areas are complete with sound effects from the game and iconic Mario characters. We're trying not to show too much as there are some really fun things to discover. In the future it's looking like there will be some RP opportunities in the 2D-3D community and well!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once you land take a moment to adjust. I highly recommend clicking the flashing pole when you arrive and take the tutorial to learn how to navigate. There's a fun prize for completing it. <span style="text-align: center;">There's also something fun in the first level when you reach the castle so don't give up, just watch out for the Goombas!</span></div>

...and all of a sudden he realised that he existed. Why? Was it important? He spent some time on his back, just watching the gulls whirling above him as he mulled this over. "Yes," he decided. "And no. I'm here, that's unmistakable. I feel these splinters working their way into me, when less than a breath ago I was of these boards myself. But I feel no urge to act upon this knowledge. Hmmmmm..."<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/8518326652/" title="Arcade I by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img alt="Arcade I" height="527" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8369/8518326652_146fb9957e_b.jpg" width="1024" /></a><br />
<br />
He sat up, so suddenly that his wooden form quivered a few times as it locked into place. Brushing shavings off his thighs, he looked around at his new world in delight. "It's all so <i>dimensional, </i>so full and it has air, and space, and light, and volume and... and how do I know these words? These concepts?" Something flitted past the corner of his vision as he gleed over life. His head turned. It turned much further than yours or mine could. But it was worth it.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/8518326064/" title="Arcade II by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img alt="Arcade II" height="800" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8112/8518326064_eb74bb0174_o.png" width="1024" /></a><br />
<br />
There she was. A glory of youth, of vivacity, a vision constructed of cherry wood. She was pretending to not notice that he was staring at her, but of course he was too new to understand the wiles of women. She struck the most coquettish pose to exaggerate her grace, then arched her form into a perfect arabesque as she circled the carousel on her skates. He was enchanted, as was intended. After the perfect amount of time had elapsed, she chose to notice his presence. She skated up to him, then stopped - sending a shower of sparks across his body. He covered his face with a wince, then lowered his arm as she circled him. "You are handsome;" she advised him critically "but you are lame. Come with me. Let's remake you."<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/8517211521/" title="Arcade III by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img alt="Arcade III" height="650" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8525/8517211521_aaeb9fbd09_b.jpg" width="1024" /></a><br />
<br />
She led him to a trove. A sunlit cave of wonders that was also a game of chance. He darted from the red machine to the blue one, and lost his balance somewhere near the yellow, completely overwhelmed. He knelt on the green carpet and whispered, not daring to look up. "All of this? I can choose from... ALL OF THIS?" She giggled, taking delight in his confusion. "Shhh... don't fret, pretty splinter. I want you to look good on my arm.

She led him back into the open, marveling at how easily he took to wheels. But everything is easy to learn when you are brand new, and don't have a head stuffed full of misconceptions. They frolicked along the boardwalk, he barely looked down at the planks that were his creator. She took great care to remind him that she was smoother, that her curves were more appealing and that her cherry wood was of great value. And she reminded him often. He smiled at her, not knowing that he should have been unhappy at her game.<br />

<br />
"Oh look!" He led her by the hand to the stall where balloons bobbed against their strings, and gazed up at them in delight. He untied one from the rack to hand to her, then realised that one single balloon was not a fitting enough tribute to her beauty. One more. Another. Several more to balance them out. And now to add these and... "For you." he bowed as he presented her with his prize.<br />

<br />
Disaster!<br />
<br />
He grabbed her ankles as she was carried off shrieking, the winds claiming her from the pier. Luck was on their side this day, as he was able to haul her back from the skies. "But..." he asked her in puzzlement. "How...? You don't look that light?" not realising of course that this is a <i>dreadful</i> thing to say to a lady, no matter which kind. She sobbed in his arms, tears of sap running down her face as she confessed "I'm not re-hea-hea-lly cherry.... I'm just BALSA WOOD WITH A CHERRY VENEER. " She turned her face away in shame, not daring to meet his gaze.<br />
<br />
He looked at her, stricken as she pulled out of his arms, preparing to flee. He shook his head and inwardly declared <b>no</b>. He clutched her heaving form and pulled her in close, then turned her face to his and told her steadily. "I don't care. You can't leave. I love you. I have no idea what love is, or what I'm supposed to do with it. But I LOVE you."<br />
<br />
She stopped crying in disbelief. She had been so contemptuous of him, not realising that his was a heart of oak. Her entire being lit up and she beamed at him, then took his hand and whispered. "I'll show you exactly what you are supposed to do with this. "<br />

That was three years ago, readers. They fell in love, mad delirious eternal light filled love. They now have five beautiful children that they hold very high hopes for, even Bricky who was their "Very Special Child" and was treated no differently than the others. (Even if he <i>did</i> have to wear a muzzle in public.) The children were always happy to visit <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Country%20Club/168/242/3115">The Arcade</a>, especially on a Friday night when they were kicked out of the caravan so Daddy could stuff Mummy full of sawdust.<br />

<a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Country%20Club/168/242/3115">Oh yeah, and visit The Arcade. </a><br />

Sparkly mesh unicorn horns that shoot out temp rez cupcakes. Or hearts. And lightning bolts too apparently. I'm trying to persuade the creator to work in a double rainbow too, but she kept wanting to know what it meant.<br />
<br />
<br />
And why is this coming soon? Because sparkly unicorn horns that shoot out cupcakes and lightning bolts, that's why. <br />
<br />
Accourse the only things even approaching awesome enough to go with this horn are this brand new <b>Clumsy</b> hair by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Magika%20Land/130/132/23">Magika</a>, and this delicious <b>Fucking Unicorns</b> tank top by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Space%20Illusion%202/69/61/21">A:S:S.</a> <br />

If you fall you can always run to the nearest umbrella for a ride back up. It's also handy for exploring the sculptures floating away from the main installation.

<br />
Okay - if you've ever even looked at my blog, my flickr, my plurkline or even just said hello to me in passing; you'll know one thing.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I love Lady Gaga. </b></div>
<br />
Oh yes - I really <i>am</i> that mainstream and I'm completely unashamed of it. I've never pretended to be cool, just... cold. <br />
<br />
I have a problem though. I'm finally getting to see her in concert this Saturday night - <i>omg omg omg</i> - and it hit me hard the other day. WHAT THE HELL AM I GOING TO WEAR? It's easy for me as Winter - he has <a href="http://incoldbloodsl.blogspot.com.au/2011/04/goodness-gracious.html">flaming bras</a>, <a href="http://incoldbloodsl.blogspot.com.au/2011/03/second-glance.html">polar bear coats</a> and <a href="http://incoldbloodsl.blogspot.com.au/2010/02/it-isnt-easy.html">kermit jackets</a> up the ying yang - but not so much for the poor bastard whose head he has taken over. I have been seriously eyeing off everything in the house and office this week wondering if there's any way I could turn it into couture. My cat just doesn't feel safe any more.<br />
<br />
Luckily... I can just get on my baddest Monster self right here. <br />

<br />
<br />
I've willfully and somewhat guiltily deconstructed the Cascade dress from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eugene/104/189/33">Epoque</a> that was only available at the Blur installation two years ago, and edited what's left of it to match my glasses from <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/88976">Chic Zafari</a>. Obviously you can no longer buy this item - sorry! - but the Warrior hair that I'm wearing also from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eugene/104/189/33">Epoque</a> is part of the current sale, all hairs half price. <br />

<br />
On my bottom half it's all <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Corona%20del%20Mar/161/178/51">Ladies Who Lunch</a>. Faint Paulse also gets it, and I'm wearing her mesh Laurella pants and Troopa boots. Finishing up my Little Monster Mash I'm in Damon skin from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/World%20of%20Beauty/35/132/24">Tableau Vivant</a>, Poker gloves from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/CheerNo/84/75/31">CheerNo</a>, lipstick from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rockhopper%20Harbour/63/53/23">Sorry.Asia</a> and the Famous Lady ring from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Love%20dAlliez/71/194/23">LaGyo</a>. <br />

The new <b>Cachet</b> Hair from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/LeLutka/128/128/26">LeLutKa</a>, meant for girls... I guess. Does anyone else remember when this brand used to be called Cachet? This comes in three styles, but the one that made me stop in my tracks was this pony, mesh heaven rigged to move with you.<br />
<br />
Also, I now happily own this <b>Maelle Shoulder Jewellery</b> from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Namaste%20Isle/131/129/27">Indy & Co</a>. It comes in three different configurations of chains, and in a fullbright option. The earrings from from <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Existence/108/182/22">Pididdle</a>; I have had these for a long time but they <i>needed</i> to be worn with this. <br />

From the epic <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/World%20of%20Beauty/100/109/3842">Fairy Tales in 2012</a> event - these 2 lusts. This <b>Damon</b> skin by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/World%20of%20Beauty/35/132/24">Tableau Vivant</a>. It's chalky and creamy all at the same time and comes in six makeups - I decided to not wear the vampy one, can you believe it? <br />

Oh look; what a surprise. Winter's in a skirt again. Could you blame me though? I have long admired Irie Campese of <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Offbeat/82/187/23">So Many Styles</a>' aesthetic, but I've never been able to buy her clothes. I saw this haunting item at the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/World%20of%20Beauty/100/109/3842">Fairy Tales</a> sim, and decided on a whim to try it on. I don't think I'll ever take it off, and it was a dream to shoot. Look at the way it moves!<br />
<br />
<br />
I had been hoping that someone would make some really kickass male boots - Puss, hello? - but I can hold out until the next year. It will take me that long to pick out all of these glass splinters from between my toes anyway.<br />
<br />
<br />
DAMNIT, when's it gonna be MY turn to be a Princess? <br />

I like to think that after almost 6 years in SL I'm fairly well travelled. However today my partner Eve asked me if I'd been to 2 Fish yet, I hadn't. Should we go now? "Great!" said the ignorant vainpyre "I love Dr Suess!"<br />
<br />
It <i>wasn't</i> Dr Seuss.<br />
<br />
I was very unprepared. <br />
<br />
After arriving and having a quick look around and delighting in the whimsical build <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cariacou/127/27/1026">"The Inevitability of Fate"</a> I complimented the creator Rose Borchovski on how amazing it was. We mentioned my photos for a moment and I blithely commented back how I hoped I could do it justice. Eve and I wandered the sim, jumping on poseballs and snapping pictures. Then she asked if I had the sound on. I hadn't until then, so I did. And that's when everything snapped into place, and made shocking sense.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I still took a few of my substandard photos which I'm posting here, tiling issues and all. But I also turned off <i>photographer eye</i> and absorbed what was happening, the tale that was being told. It's interactive in that there are poses in all the installations so you become part of the history, plus there are triggers that when you walk through them, they hand you props and items to wear. There was more than one spot that was overwhelming and I came very close to having to leave. I have never been affected by a sim in Second Life like I have this one.<br />

<br />
I don't want to talk about it too much as I feel it's better off experienced rather than read about on my shallow fashion blog. <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cariacou/127/27/1026">But you should go, you really should</a>. Just be prepared to be challenged and leave yourself time to think. I myself took away from it a new perspective, and a reminder of what's important. You can also see Eve's view on the installation <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/evepetlyakov/">here. </a><br />

<br />
Thank you, Rose Borchovski.<br />

So my main modelling agency Avenue asked me if I'd teach a masterclass - <i>their words, not mine!</i> - on styling.<br />
<br />
I wrote and presented my hour long lecture, and within that time I made the class do evil, unforgiveable things. Sure they had a purpose behind them, but it was also great for the lulz. You haven't lived until you've made a class full of weeping models go back to Ruth status. But of course the pressure was on for me to look like some fierce and fabulous GOD OF FASHION. And this is what I wore. I added a hat at the last minute after I took these pics... but I'm happy to leave it off for this post. <br />

Because you should always start with the basics... and if sequinned chartreuse hotpants aren't a staple for any wardrobe? I don't know what is.<br />

I just couldn't get my thighs to spread more than a foot apart like the other bloggers.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/6948779069/" title="Whore Face by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7052/6948779069_1498da0042_b.jpg" alt="Whore Face" height="696" width="1024" /></a><br /><br /><br />Kiss kiss?<br /><br /><br />__________________________________________________________________<br /><br /><br />So <a href="http://pixelphasion4men.blogspot.com.au/">Bouncer Criss</a> and I dared each other on plurk to out slut each other.

Just a quick one today, as I believe I have found the best facial hair in either world. Better even than the whiskers on Oscar Page's Mom. <br />

<br />
<br />
It's from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Utopia%20Isles/224/32/403">Birth</a>. This is the new Thor skin. And this design is named Maori. I can't imagine how long this would take me to do.<br />

<br />
<br />
And it would be a damn sight messier if I ever attempted it. The Thor skins feature a really interesting range of scrub, and come with different muscle tone and bodyhair options. I made sure that I wore the furriest for this blogpost to entice Elusyve back inworld. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Eyes are from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Jewelry/48/181/37">Fashism</a>, hair from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Mushroom%20Island/162/217/3930">No.07</a>, jacket and pants from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Evocative/170/76/31">LaPointe and Bastchild</a>. They have a far better waistline than this really, but Monica demands that every man that comes close has to edit their waistband to just above ball level. </div>

Plus if I was to go out in public at night time here dressed in my signature white on white with extra white then I'd have several beer bottles smashed over my head.<br /><br /><span style="display: block;" id="formatbar_Buttons"><span onmouseover="ButtonHoverOn(this);" onmouseout="ButtonHoverOff(this);" onmouseup="" onmousedown="CheckFormatting(event);FormatbarButton('richeditorframe', this, 8);ButtonMouseDown(this);" class=" down" style="display: block;" id="formatbar_CreateLink" title="Link"><img src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" alt="Link" class="gl_link" border="0" /></span></span><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/5965984275/" title="MVW Swimsuit by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6016/5965984275_2538ec619c_o.jpg" alt="MVW Swimsuit" height="654" width="1000" /></a><br /><br /><br />I wasn't one of the top five - <span style="font-weight: bold;">congrats to Jax Aster of USA!</span> - but I think I still managed to contribute something, even if it was just making the announcers choke when I started my bootie pop in the swimsuit section. Complete with real hand drawn wedgie and epic schlong shading on the thong. Can you believe that several hours beforehand I was looking classy and relatively normal in a wetsuit until I started talking to Jori Watler?<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/5966540388/" title="MVW Formal by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6122/5966540388_bc826a3fe8_o.jpg" alt="MVW Formal" height="729" width="1000" /></a><br /><br />For the Formalwear section, I wanted to stay true to my chosen land. Some research turned up a bloody marvel - an Israeli/Australian designer who now lives in Iceland named <a href="http://www.dezeen.com/2011/04/08/when-gravity-fails-by-sruli-recht/">Sruli Recht.</a> He works with materials native to the region - horse and reindeer leather, the wool of stillborn lambs, whole seagull carcasses and... umm... <a href="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2010/04/0sruli10.jpg">minke whale foreskin.</a> I took his aesthetic to my poor beleagered employer and friend, Monica Outlander of <a href="http://www.blogger.com/slurl.com/secondlife/Amat%20/71/202/3001">Miamai</a> and she created this wonder of a coat. Which will be released later on. Yep, I bet you hate it when I do that. Don't think this means I'll stop though.<br /><br /><br />At the end of it all I had a damn good time, and learnt a lot of things - <span style="font-style: italic;">espesh from the mindblowing styling skills of my competitors </span> - as well as making some new friends. Plus it was cool to see how far I could get just by being me, pale loud goofy clumsy ME. Now pardon me all, I have to go get the pliers out and try drag my fangs back down into place.<br /><br /><br />__________________________________________________________________<br /><br />What Winter Is Wearing<br /><br />National<br />Hair - Magnus in White by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Neverwhere/249/128/42">Wasabi Pills</a><br />Skin - Brent in Light by <a href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/CheerNo/128/140/27">CheerNo</a> <span style="font-style: italic;">(worn throughout) </span><br />Eyes - Sunlight eyes in Azure by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Jewelry/48/181/37">Fashism</a> <span style="font-style: italic;">(Same brand of eyes worn throughout)</span><br />Outfit - Nordic in White by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/THE%20NILE/215/125/3501">N.A.M.E </a><span style="font-style: italic;">(I freakin'<span style="font-weight: bold;"> LOVE</span> this store, you need to go see it.) </span><br />Boots - Fur Trimmed Boots in Grey <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/LightStar/209/207/27">by LightStar</a><br />Axe - Velde's Skull Splitter Axe by <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Azora-Veldes-Skull-Splitter-Battle-Axe-Level-1/1324687">Azora</a><br /><br /><br />Swimwear<br />Hair - Arianrhod in Pearl by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Synchronicity/190/171/29/">Discord Designs</a> (Thank you so much Kallisti!)<br />Tattoos - Loiuse by<a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Tiki%20Tattoo%20Cove/34/168/22"> Tiki Tattoo </a><br />Necklace - Sharkstooth Necklace by <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Josef-Mens-Sharktooth-Necklace/1999201">Josef</a><br />Thong - Quezban in Red by <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Tori-Torricelli-Qezban-Swimwear-TT100925/1464145">Tori Toricelli</a><br />Feet - Jolie Pied Pivoting Male Feet by<a href="slink:%20http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sanctum/22/124/22"> SLink</a><br /><br /><br />Formalwear<br />Hair - Soldier Boy in White by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Silent/195/130/3">Shag</a><br />Coat - Valur Jacket by <a href="http://www.blogger.com/slurl.com/secondlife/Amat%20/71/202/3001">Miamai </a>(not yet released)<br />Pants - Fur Trimmed Pants in Black <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/LightStar/209/207/27">by LightStar</a><br />Boots - Fur Trimmed Boots in Black <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/LightStar/209/207/27">by LightStar</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Bwkb6nM4qUQ" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" width="560"></iframe><br /><br /><br />My buttcrack gets it's starring moment at 00:30:20 if you want to see the madness for yourself...Winter Jeffersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15646570561982603712noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455480000368845140.post-80792159542871737522011-07-04T22:44:00.018+08:002011-07-04T23:34:57.628+08:00Le Voleur De Paon<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/5901358264/" title="Magus Banner by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5312/5901358264_0db0a91499_o.png" alt="Magus Banner" height="215" width="1000" /></a><br /><br /><br />So I'm one of the 20 male models in SL currently trying to prove that they are really really <span style="font-style: italic;">really</span> ridiculously good looking in the <a href="http://www.thebosl.com/">BOSL</a> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr Virtual World 2011 </span>competition - yep, I'm Mr Iceland of course.

But things evolved as they often do when your fairy godmother Monica is a bit of a creative genius, and I ended up looking as if I'd made good on my promise last month to molest Frolic's peacocks. It's okay - it's a far more fulfilling life for them as FASHION anyway.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/5901307632/" title="Winter Magus Blog by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6036/5901307632_421c9c3508_o.png" alt="Winter Magus Blog" height="753" width="1030" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/5901308448/" title="Winter Magus 2 Blog by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5231/5901308448_5a438688d5_o.png" alt="Winter Magus 2 Blog" height="760" width="1030" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/5901306008/" title="Winter Magus 3 Blog by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6018/5901306008_f7e54d0653_o.png" alt="Winter Magus 3 Blog" height="595" width="1030" /></a><br /><br /><br />What I'm loving on in this post - the cape is called <span style="font-weight: bold;">Magus</span>, it's by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Amat%20/71/202/3001">Miamai</a> and it's not out yet sorreeeeee but the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lenoire</span> hair is, and it's available at <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rhodium/35/83/21">Hair Fair</a> until the 15th of July. Be aware that I've modded it a fair bit though, there's meant to be some girly stuff on top. I'm still mad about my <span style="font-weight: bold;">Vincent</span> skin from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/World%20of%20Beauty/86/131/27">Tableau Vivant</a>, this is the January tone and I also got my <span style="font-weight: bold;">Claw Pants</span> from there too. <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Heart%20and%20Sole/165/213/24">Nuuna Nitely</a> makes wonderful bold makeups and I'm layering several of them here, most of them from her new <a href="https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Nuuna-tattoo-makeups-v8/2416798">Version 8 makeup pack</a>. My <span style="font-weight: bold;">Taped Guts</span> are from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/SiniStyle/148/90/37">Sinistyle</a> and the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sequinned Leggings</span> are from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sanchon/56/170/1710">Fishy Strawberry</a>. Just out of view - the huge and inventive stream of cursewords from when I crashed two minutes before showtime.<br /><br /><br /><br />I have no idea what the end results of the styling competition were, they may have announced it but I was too busy trying to untangle Winter Junior from the sequinned tights. It's also a mad giggle watching the audience wake up when the very blindingly pale man appears on the runway after the Costa Rican guy and tries to convince them that dead with shitloads of guyliner can be beautiful too.Winter Jeffersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15646570561982603712noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1455480000368845140.post-44865550314289292942011-06-04T10:50:00.007+08:002011-06-04T11:13:37.793+08:00Alone In A World That's So Cold<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/5795505536/" title="Prince Blog Header by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5157/5795505536_a0f9f30f0b_o.png" alt="Prince Blog Header" height="245" width="1000" /></a><br /><br /><br />.....so it was just one more of those mornings where you put on new hair and think "Oh god I look like Prince AGAIN today."<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/5795505080/" title="Prince Blog 2 by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3202/5795505080_d1701071e2_o.png" alt="Prince Blog 2" height="637" width="1000" /></a><br /><br /><br />Surely I can't be the only one this happens to?<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/5795504494/" title="Prince Blog 1 by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3590/5795504494_b21414d70b_o.png" alt="Prince Blog 1" height="672" width="1000" /></a><br /><br /><br />I finally managed to break my month long crash-every-single-effing-time-I-take-a-photo hoodoo which is partially to blame for the fact that my blog turnaround is something like three weeks between posts now.

I always try to keep that work - which is barely work because I LOVE IT - off my own blog as I like to think that I provide an unbiased view of menstuff that I consider to be awesome. Consider this a disclaimer. <span style="font-weight: bold;">But. </span>I was the completely dumbstruck recipient of a <a href="http://thebosl.com/bosl_blog/2011/03/bosl-awards-2011-official-nominations/">BOSL Awards</a> nomination for "Best New Model" (which Rissa Friller deservedly won) and you can't rock up at something like that in off the rack, can you? So I asked Monica <span style="font-style: italic;">(okay whined at her incessantly)</span> if she could make something epic for us to wear to the event, and I told her about my love for the creations of <a href="http://outlaws-eden.blogspot.com/2011/03/there-are-no-words.html">Haider Ackermann</a>. He's a Belgian designer that is simply the master of drapery, and I heart his work so hard. Moni had a look and took her own special view of his style and turned it into something that had me weak at the knees.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/5661277868/" title="Spellbound2 by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5106/5661277868_d96d801882_o.png" alt="Spellbound2" height="654" width="1000" /></a><br /><br /><br />She knows just what I love, and so she sprinkled it liberally with high fashion spikes, sparkly black diamonds and a Gagaesque crown. Because me constantly wearing the last one she made pissed off Elusye so much.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/5661277436/" title="Spellbound1 by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5144/5661277436_1a53068101_o.png" alt="Spellbound1" height="652" width="1000" /></a><br /><br /><br />It's going to be released in the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Amat/63/161/2002">Miamai</a> store under the Black Label marque on the 30th of April - this weekend - and it's named <span style="font-weight: bold;">Spellbound,</span> so look out for it.

This is also the new <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/LeLutka/111/181/29">LeLutKa</a> hair called <span style="font-weight: bold;">SJ</span> which is the one they released the other day that WASN'T the one on every second blog.<br /><br /><br /><br />I promise this wasn't just one big ad for my boss, I freakin' LOVED these two designs and I would have blogged them no matter who made them, I swear. And just to finish this off I'm going to show you the emerging morphing talent of <a href="http://strawberrysingh.com/">Strawberry Singh.</a> She really wants you to ask her to make these kinds of pics, she does.

I've bought a few of Vanilla's gothic style suits and when she released this I was quite happily surprised. She sent me a notecard asking if I'd like a review copy, but I'd already bought it a week earlier. Can't get a more genuine endorsement than that, can you? It also comes in a femme version ladies, and it's just as hot. I'm also wearing a facial tattoo from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/White%20Widow/116/99/22">White Widow</a> named <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sun</span>, I was lucky enough to win a giftcard to the lovely Julie Hasting's wonderful store a couple of months ago and I walked out with almost the entire inventory.... and still wanted more.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/23953758@N05/5639593421/" title="TCR 1 by Winter Jefferson, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5264/5639593421_5eb5766d79_o.png" alt="TCR 1" height="697" width="1000" /></a><br /><br /><br />I'm finishing off with mine most beloved <span style="font-weight: bold;">Brent</span> skin by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/CheerNo/141/142/26">CheerNo</a>, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Apocalypse X </span>hair from <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hells%20End/3/99/38">_ZION_</a> and eyes named <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Hunger - Satiated</span> by <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Copley%20Square/30/51/24">Insufferable Dastard. </a><br /><br /><br />And satiated is something that I will never, ever be.
