Oh wow! - I just found out yet another great thing about Second Life. I get to have autumn twice! I grew up in the UK and then moved to Australia. My RL birthday is in the autumn and it's my absolute favorite time of year."Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness..." I love the melancholy of autumn, with its evocative and magical festivals of Halloween and Guy Fawkes.
In Australia we do have autumn of course, but it comes in April/May and still feels very wierd. What's more, Halloween is in the Spring - the buds bursting forth, the birds singing - just doesn't feel right at all. So it's a joy to be able to play at autumn in Second Life the way that I used to in my childhood.
I was just privileged enough in SL to be a part of the New Shoots Runway Show staged by Metro Models on behalf of Annah Couture and Persona. What an eye-opener to witness how much time and effort has to go in to produce such a professional result! Alaska Metropolitan, owner of Metro Models followed up the show with a note of thanks to myself and the rest of the models together with a Fall Photo Challenge. I am also right in the middle of putting together my piece on coats and boots for the November issue of Second Style so I was definitely in the mood and in the right outfit to take up the gauntlet. Here are the resulting shots - I hope you like them! Check out what the other models have some up with at the Metro Models blogspot (see Hotspots at right).
Both photos feature coats by Sinjun Soyer at EtchD. The beret is by Maria Gherardi and the boots are a much-modded version of Launa Fauna's Buccaneer Lass's Boots in brown available at LF Fashions. Skins are Jessica at Cake. Hair in the closeup pic is Meryl (modded for the beret) in chocolate by Rikka Koi of the soon-to-be-renamed Lucky hairshop. The other is Sabotage from Nuclear Boutique in a tinted version of auburn. These shots were taken at the lovely Silent Sparrow sim - currently looking highly autumnal.
