A HORSE IS A HORSE.. even in Second life!

SOMETHING NEW POSES

pics taken @ Matoluta Sanctuary

Normally when your at the Matoluta Sanctuary (more info here)
the horses you take pictures of are actually avi's, but what better
place to take horse pose pics than here .. so off i went
packed with the awesome new Cowgirl poses by
Allyson Dwyer of SOMETHING NEW POSES
These poses are part of a gatcha at the Wild West Fair
which is going on until September 5th.

I totally love Allyson's props they are really well made and unique 
themes and fun to work with and i know she tries really hard to
give us something new every time, so pop on down to her shop
you'll be surprised how much variety and what gems she has.

These are pics from Cowgirl 1-4 which include the horse prop
but there are also 2 awesome couple ones that are rares which
i am lucky to have, but i  will show them later as i have a different 
setting in mind for them.

And of course if your a photographer or Sim blogger don't forget to
join and visit the beautifully made Matoluta Sanctuary and see all
the amazing horses that frolic the fields there, as well as other quieter
animals *laughs* 

For the last picture i want to say thank you to Carlos Bricklin

for posing with me ... I used the pose from Cowgirl 04 to give

him an apple when he really wanted sugar 

but i didn't have any, sorry! LOL.

TIME IS ON MY MIND

Argh! Who decided there should only be 24 hours in a day?
and from that 24hrs you need to at least put 6-8hrs aside for 
sleep and a couple of hrs a day to cook, eat, clean, wash-up, 
shower, shop etc etc.

The problem is i want to take and post pictures, but also look at
what everyone else is doing, i want to make picture books and 
learn machinima, i want to read and watch some films, i want to 
do my Sudoku and listen to music, i want to talk with people, 
follow blogs, shop in SL, call my friends on Skype, i want to play poker, 
i want to keep up with my blog and some other art sites i have.

But having said that, there are only so many hours in a day and
i just cant keep up and i get exhausted just thinking about all the 
things i want and try to do, so i get way behind and find myself 
looking at folder upon folder of taken pictures that i never get 
round to showing for lack of time to sort and pick the best ones, 
and there's not only that...
i like to give some kind of info as to where and what it is, cos i 
love sharing...but that all takes time to gather too.

So for today Ive decided to show a few shots from all kinds of 
different places, without too much info about them, i don't know 
how you all do it but forgive me for not having enough hours in 
my day to get as much done as i want to LOL!!!

MATOLUTA SANCTUARY & HARMS WAY

 MATOLUTA SANCTUARY EVENT 

@ Sartre


I don't think of myself as a fashion photographer, im more
of a landscape, scenery, object, face photographer,
but recently i have had the privilege to become a member
of the Matoluta Sanctuary Blogger / Press Group, and 
although i was planning on a location shoot of this Sim,
i hadn't gotten round to it yet, it's on my TODO List!
When i heard yesterday that Harmini Idlemind, owner of Harms Way,
was at the Sim to show her new and exciting Authentic Native Clothing
i went along to see what was happening.

The outfits are awesome ... The male outfit is composed of fringed
buckskin top, pants and moccasin rigged mesh pieces.
It also includes texture change hair with headband and It comes in
six different colors.

The female buckskin dress includes rigged mesh dress with over the
knee fringed moccasins and non rigged mesh choker, headband knife
which is not scripted. It also includes texture gloves and leggings and
comes in different colors.

The Fawn leather dress outfit includes headband and moccasin boots.
The dress can be worn in 5 different length options through clicking on
the dress.

Harms way store has full outfits, fitting for all western/cowboy & Indian/
farm style role-play, and i even saw some for cavalry, also some 
accessories like hats, boots and bandanas.

On August 8th from 4-8pm SLT there is a group only Masau Dance
Event at the Sanctuary. 
The Masau dance is a Cheyenne tradition which goes back to the
time when the Cheyenne came into the black hills or,what is known
as the 'badlands'. A Masau dance is represented by animals and
animal people through dance. 
 
For this event you can buy these costumes at half price today
at the Harms Way Store

Dressing up for this shoot was so much fun, ty to MZ, Chi, Inkie, 
Monavie, Autumn, Naviyana, Manatou, Shalihotra, Sazura, Harmini, 
Ziekling, Mark, Luna, Stella, Autumn & Robert and anyone else i
may have forgotten, for the laughs and your patience.
