piCS photography at Magic Valley !

After trying to limit on a cute, small & easy to clean area for our gallery & photostudio, I figured out that I need plants around me, water, the dog, mountains and…..PRIMS! After a short search and a love at first sight we found a wonderful new home at Magic Valley…..

I am happy to see you there ! xXx

3 years of wedding photography

Since the beginning of 2008 I enjoy being a photographer in Second Life. I met so many really nice persons from all over the world and a very few of them I even call friends today.
I am sure I could write at least a small book about weird and funny things that happened to me doing this „job“ in SL, but to make it short, I had the idea to collect some of my experience in a funny way.

Enjoy!

The Rose Theatre

I am still touched by one of the most impressing experience I ever had since I started with Second Life in 2007. I knew the Rose Theatre already since last year, when the creator of this wonderful and breathtaking location, Kaya Angel, was so kind to allow me to do a fashion photoshooting there.
Yesterday my beloved hubby and me visited our first event there :

„The best of the Musical Showcases“ which took part in the Opera House. I never ever expected to see such a professional, perfectly organized and stunning show.

More than 90 minutes, the lovely and breathtaking voice of Elvera Lerner, brought us a great variety of music we all know from musicals or movies.


Arielle – Part of your world


Raindrops keep falling on my head


Beauty and the Beast

Usually when I am visiting a concert in Second Life, I get bored after 30 minutes, but this time I felt entertained from the first minute until the last. The mixture between Elvera´s performance and the wonderful stage decoration changing with every song, even during some songs was really stunning. The passion of all the people being involved in presenting this show was omnipresent.
Even my love Alchemist, who usually prefers a completely different style of music („metal rules!“), was deeply impressed and predestined this as his all-time-number-one music experience in Second Life.


Evita – Don´t cry for me Argentina

A wonderful selection of songs from Arielle, Beauty & the Beast, Toy Story, Cats, the Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Evita and many other songs were performed. If you haven´t visited an event on the Rose Theatre, I really really advice you to go there, you won´t regret it.

Wonderful plants and more !

Although I am a little bit sloppy with blogging, I had the urgent need to show you a nice shop I discovered during a shopping tour.

still life **GARDEN** – simatarou Little created a variety of beautiful fields of flowers, poofers, decoration and much more. The prices for her items are more than affordable and worth every Linden. Her customer service is first class and she is doing her utmost to satisfy her customer´s needs (like mine that I needed copyable versions of the items for decoration of Angel Blue Sky).

Take a few moments and have a look here, you will love it !

In love with „The Loft“….

I won´t tell a long boring story how I found out about the new product of my favourite furniture and home-accessoires shop, The Loft.

An amazing and beautiful planket, cuddly, with pillows, changeable colours and 15 very nice poses (couples and single boy or girl). Believe me – you need this!

Have a look and try it, a demo version you find next to the entrance of the shop.

I don´t want to forget to mention that in the past weeks I was delighted at their high-quality customer service. As a group member you recieve beautiful group gifts and if you have a problem, Colleen Desmoulins or Dahlia Elide are there for you with a lot of help and patience 🙂

Thanks again Dahlia for your immediate help after my planket dissapeared in the Linden-Nirvana after the server problems a few nights ago !!

I already liked to read this funny description of the area I landed by accident. I can´t remember how it came to teleport there, but I can´t remember an accident I was more happy about to happen.

A real winter wonderland with amazing nice spots to discover. It took me around 90 minutes to explore and I still have the impression that I didn´t see everything. I am sure that I will return soon.

You are welcome by a beautiful frozen pond and invited to do a single or couple-ice skating.

Don´t yawn! It´s not that booooring ice-skating animation you find on every winter sim, nooooo. You will love it, I have never seen a better one. Especially the couple´s ice-skating animation is worth a try, I promise.

Exploring around, you will find many nice spots for a cool snapshot. And don´t forget to try the tasty wassail, you don´t feel cold any more. But be careful, heavy stuff *hicc* 😉

sitting

After that I needed a short break….noo, no, not because of the wassail…..:-D

wassali

The good thing is – there are so many amazing spots that invite to a short break to sit and take a picture – that there´s even space for a second wassail….
