Futa Love Fest '09 - Halloween Edition

Last saturday we had the Futa Love Fest '09. This time the theme was Halloween, on of my personal favorites. Halloween is just too cool as you can dress up as zombie!... or other things for that matter.

Here you see me dressed as a headless waitress and it was a success. At my left in the distance is Shye, she was dressed as an orange panther! It looked rather sexy even more with the set we found for her.

The whole party was great. We had 75 people attending and most stayed around for a hour or more. At some point we had 46 people in the sim, and that's just amazing.

Because of the dressing up, all the people with different clothing, scripts and all the stuff we decided to do the party at the beach. There isn't a heavy build there and with the decorations in the centre of the sim it would be really hard.

I was glad to see many where dressed up. It just gives the whole event something extra i find. Shye and me spend quite some time at these events, this one was rather easy compared to other Futa Love Fests, and though we love putting time and money in it to make it look great, it kind of finishes with the people!

The picture above is the poster i made for the Futa Love Fest. At the left is a small overview picture of the event, to give an idea of how it looked. As you can see not too special, but fun never the less!

Favorite Places...

I said in my last post I would post about interesting places that I see...  aside from my home sim Cataclysm.  I like builds with a sci-fi flair... either to look at or to explore, or both.  You've probably seen Insilico and Wolf's Moon and lots of others that are really cool to explore, and I will probably write about those later.  Now, I want to take you to a different place... one you may not have found on your own.

There isn't a lot to explore, there.... and there aren't a lot of people there, either.  But it's a cool place to see, to wander, and to take some pictures.  It's called Hangars Liquides.

The buildings are nice and unusual, and there are flying taxis!  Check it out!

More pixels to peruse...

I was playing around with a photo effect I saw Alysa do... of course I put my own spin on it.  Most of this effect was done in-world with a background glow prim.  Only some quick filters and channel adjustments in Photoshop to finish it off.  Ain't I purrrrrty?

I do plan to post about some of my favorite places, aside from Cataclysm, soon.  There are so many cool places I've seen... it's good to spread them around.  If they remain my secret, they could just... disappear.  Anyway, look for more posts about that, soon.

The Beach at Cataclysm

I have to disagree, a bit, with Alysa. I love beaches. Beaches in real life, mostly... not the crowded destination beaches, but rather the quiet, secluded beaches where you can feel the sand between your toes and watch the surf and smell the salt air.

Beaches in Second Life obviously are not tactile or odorous... and few are done well... I'll grant you that. But there are some that give you a taste of it. Just a small taste.

The beach at Cataclysm is small, and it will still see improvements. But I like it. And it's a good excuse for a change of scenery during an event. Beach parties are fun. And it's an excuse to get naked! (As if we need any excuses)

And as proof of it... naked dancing at the beach at Cataclysm!

Beach party at Blacklist

This night, well it was night for me, we had our first beach party since we got this new build. And now we officially sort of opened the beach and placed it hopefully on the map.

The party was a good success and i was very happy that Lectra decided to DJ as i love all the oldies she play. Most songs i can almost sing along. After Lectra, Yoshi took over. She has always a good set and she is a great musician in her own field. We from Blacklist are so lucky that she does live sets now and then, she's awesome.

The party went really well, lots of chatting, jokes, funny contests. I'm not a real fan of beaches and even less in Second Life as it's always so cheapish, if you get what i mean. I did slacked a bit on the decoration but we really lacked time and seeing i am not that super enthusiastic with beach parties... But for a next one i do got some new ideas thanks to Angeli.

Cuddles

I love bedtime cuddles with Alysa. It's a time to wind the day down by having a nice chat and connecting a bit beyond the pixels. A few minutes to wish each other pleasant dreams and an easy day the next day, before our pixels meet again. I'll do my best NOT to flood this blog with pictures like this. Alysa will appreciate that, I'm sure! *grins*

High Places

High places seem to be immune from the influences of the Blacklist Witch, who you saw in an earlier post has taken over the town with her magical spells, summoning the forces of nature to do her bidding. The roots and trees and evil natural forces have infested the city at ground level, but so far it seems their reach is limited. Seek high ground. Save yourselves! The high ground is free of this evil infestation.

Halloween 3

Yes i love Halloween. It's something we hardly celebrate where i live and here in Second Life i can go wild with it. Already planning for two nice parties and dressing up. It's so sweet. But before we get there a lot has to be done. Decorating is more my thing then building, i enjoy it more as it goes easier for me. But you also need to build, it saves money and it's great to make your own things. So there... a picture, proof *coughs* of my abilities... I call it... "What is she building?"

Halloween 2

Shye is off to dinner, leaving me alone in this hostile world. It shows what it means... Food > Alysa *winks*. But before she left we did finished a super cool build. It was just awesome how fast it went, except for the texturing, as that was a pain but Shye had a nice solution for one rather tricky spot. Its a little house that is carried around by a tree. Not a full tree, only the bottom, but if the tree would be complete it would had been a big tree! We had the idea to place a house on wooden beams, making it a walking house, but i found some great artwork so it became a tree. I just adore the whole picture and i am really proud of our achievement. Building such things is so much fun!

But now you all got curious and i cou

ld say.. "Go check it out at Blacklist lazy sods!!" but though i normally would do that i just can't help it to show a picture. I am proud to present..... "From the Sea it came", after another shot.. hehehe.

Halloween 1

Last night we started at the big job of transforming Blacklist so it be ready for Halloween. We decided to start early so we could enjoy the work and time we would put in it, and of course we hope you all will like it as much as we do.

The theme of this year is hard to describe, i did made a picture called "It came from the Sea" but it has nothing to do with the sea. But a witch appeared at the beach of Blacklist and started her magic, summoning and growing large roots by her evil magic. She send them into town where they started chaos, overwhelming the place, growing wildly through the town. Not all places are affected, as the battle has just begone!

Settling In

Well, the blog is only a few hours old.  Still kicking the tires, so to speak.  I've spent some time adjusting things, adding things... we'll see what Alysa thinks when she awakes.  

In the meantime... she showed you her bum, it's only fair I show you mine.  Here's an old photo. I promise, I've not put on a ton of weight since this was taken. You should know, I'm a bit of an exhibitionist.  Alysa frequently reminds me of that.  

One could see it as practicality.  Think of all the Linden Dollars I can save without having to update my wardrobe all the time!  And the time saved by not shopping or contemplating what to wear!  And not needing to re-sort my inventory after every shopping trip!

Anyway... we'll probably update with pictures of our Halloween decorations in the sim, soon.  We did a lot of work today, but still have miles to go.

Until then...

Proof

And as proof to Shye's ever wise words.. some pixels of my bum.

But first.. Shye and i will work on this blog together. As a not English person you will notice more errors in my stories! On the other hand, if your not English you might not understand all the words Shye writes down here. So it balances each other a bit!

We both got our own style, not only in writing but as well in taking pictures and editing them in SL. I hope you will enjoy reading and watching the pictures we will pos

t here. For the art, or most of the futa art you need to get in to Second Life though.

And now... the picture!

Welcome to Our Ponderous Thoughts on Pixels!

Alysa and I will be posting our thoughts on our experiences in Second Life. We'll be pondering on many things pixely! We co-own the Cataclysm sim with three other pixel-people, so you'll hear about what we do there. We also like digital art, and have a gallery in our sim, so you'll hear and see what we do there.

As we are an adult sim, and we are adult people, we may write about and show some adult content. So stop in frequently and read our musings and be titillated by an occasional salacious photo!

~Shye and Alysa~
