Well, now that we have seen each other,” said the Unicorn, “If you believe in me, I’ll believe in you…

This photo shoot was inspired by another photo I saw on Pinterest. I have a board full of fantasy photos that I want to recreate in Second Life. This took me the better part of a whole afternoon and early evening to put together as I’m not used to getting two avatars ready. Kat, my mini-me was my go to for the water horse. Yes, she has her own for just these occasions. She was good to go once I put a full body alpha on her. All she had to do was hop on the pose ball. Easy, peasy! Yeah, right lol.

I wanted to take a moment and talk about the mermaid tail. It’s by Cynefin and is bento. There is a myriad of colors to choose from, but I bought the fatpack as I have other mermaid related posts I plan to do. A tail poser HUD comes in the package and allows you to use any of your regular poses for above the waist. This took the longest, but once I had the pose I wanted, the rest fell into place. The fatpack also includes a pose pack. You get your lindens worth on this one. Try the DEMO first!

The photo shoot took place on Lac Des Cygnes. No, it is not completed yet lol. It’s tedious work working on the terrain and incorporating different plants, so it looks natural. Well, I’m striving to make it look natural. And boy have I used the prims/land impact!

To my fellow Americans, have a safe and happy Fourth of July. Be kind to one another. TWMA♥

It will cost you nothing to dream. And everything not to. Find your wings.

Located in the south region of France, formerly known as the Aquitaine region now known as Nouvelle-Aquitaine, in a remote area between Pau and Oloron-Sainte-Marie, at the foot of the Pyrenees mountain range, stands Le Chateau du petit lac des Cygnes. The Chateau is located not more than 100 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean and roughly 50 kilometers from Spain as the crow flies. The winters are wet, mild, with occasional snowfalls. The summers are warm, mild, and much drier.

History of the chateau dates back as early as the late 1600’s, with the chateau as it now stands completed around 1705. The family, with ties to the royal court, preferred a quiet life in the countryside rather than the strict regimen at Versailles. It was during the French Revolution that the much-loved family, protected by the village inhabitants, journeyed over the Pyrenees into Spain, then gained passage to the young United States of America, thereby escaping the blade of the guillotine. The family blossomed in the new country and their life in France was but a memory passed down through generations that followed. Centuries passed, the Chateau grew quiet, eventually fell into disrepair, and soon was all but forgotten.

Until now…

About 3 weeks ago I moved Le Lac Des Cygnes from a homestead to a full region. While I am nowhere ready to reopen I thought to give somewhat of a teaser. The storyline is a work in progress and the above paragraphs are the fruits of my labors, or better yet of many, many, many edits. More to follow…soonish.

Be kind to one another. TWMA♥
