I'm a bit of a busy bee today. I'm dabbling in the DFS farm system in SL (again) at the moment, and so far, most of my day has been spent doing a quest for some Chives. It's all a bit bizarre, honestly, but I'm not mad, because it gave me the chance to edit some pictures and catch up on some of my favourite youtubers at the same time as completing it all. I may have gone a bit OTT though, because I bought 5 huds... and if any of you have already done this chive quest, you'll understand my slight amount of "omfg what have I done".

In other news, Moss&Mink has been very busy! I've paired together a bunch of her new items, available at different events which I'll of course list below... but all of them have a freakin' stunning finish and I'm once again blown away by how talented Cielo is!

There's also this adorable bodysuit from Miss Chelsea that I feel could be dressed up with the skirt (not shown) for a hot date or worn separately as shown above. The lace detailing is beautiful!

Lastly, Empire's shoes finish the outfit off with an appropriate amount of oomph!

I want it.

Pose : I kinda forgot to write it dowwwwn! I'm sorry.

Location : Remnants of Earth (Roleplay area, please be courteous)

It took me a little while to actually get this shot, and that's okay, because I ran around SL like a complete lunatic trying to figure out what it was I wanted.. then I found this futuristic police-type car thing and my butt sat there and I was content.

I have been doing a bit of running around SL lately, and it's actually been surprisingly pleasant.

Rather than sitting on my platform, or standing statuesque at a filthy sim where no one actually talks to anyone else but peacocks their avatars around as though they're King of the world, I've been exploring. October is the perfect time to do this, because people get all creative thanks to the onset of Halloween. (In a detour from your currently scheduled programming, the word "Onsent" apparently means "The beginning of something, especially something unpleasant", so I left it there because Halloween is fun, but ultimately kinda spooky and therefore almost unpleasant. Pls just love me today. My head is up my backside.)

ANYWHO. Ultimately what I'm trying to say is, get your butt off your platforms, step away from the sex sims and away from your platforms, and do some exploring!

Maybe one day I'll update that Locations page to include all these fantastic places i'm finding, but I AM incredibly lazy, so we'll have to see. :P

Have a fabulous Tuesday!

Let's talk a little about inspiration.

Most people who involve themselves in the SL blogging and flickr community will immediately see where this photograph is inspired from. AliceinChains Arun has been a long-standing member of SL, and is well known for her use of flowers and lighting in her pictures. I took a quick study of her pictures yesterday, and where I am no-where near her level of editing skills, I'm not at all mad about how this picture turned out, and I have learned a couple of things along the way. Isn't that what inspiration is?

You can find Alice's flickr >Here< 

I want to make a quick note and say while I have enjoyed this attempt to re-create something from someone I admire, I by no means intend to continue along this path. I am absolutely adoring learning at the pace I'm currently going at, and believe that my pictures should tell a story.

I want to work more on getting emotion into my images, along with becoming more comfortable with shading, exploring different angles, and eventually moving to slightly edited hair - mostly hairlines and fly-aways. I am grateful for every single piece of information I have garnered and hope that although I may take inspiration from other artists, I present what I have learned in a way that is "Pickle".

Today I want to challenge you to take inspiration from someone, and put YOUR personal spin on it. Whether that be a blogger, photographer, DJ or any other creative outlet, give it a go and see what you learn. xoxo
