While picking up some hair at Love Soul yesterday, I noticed there was an adorable white/green living room with kitchen in the build, which would be an awesome set for some pics. Then I decided to explore the sim some, and discovered some other pretty corners, like a beautiful pond in a meadow, surrounded by trees, very peaceful… it’s really nice to take time to visit places, not just race in and out to pick up the items I need.

Go to the Explore! page for more pics from Love Soul and a SLurl to visit.

“Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way”

With or without your bike, The Mother Road is more than worth a visit. Be sure to agree to the Sim rules and the fence will open for you.

Go to the Explore! page for a slurl to and more pics of The Mother Road.

Artis Natur  is a lovely place to visit and take pics. It changes with the seasons and right now it’s in spring splendor.  Trees and flowers made by Sachi Vixen of Adam ‘n Eve. She makes her treests look like they are straight from an impressionist painting, it’s REALLY gorgeous.

SLurls to Artis Natur and other places worth visiting as well as links to more photos can be found on the Explore! page

The Northern German isle of Sylt has a SL version called Syltopia. The builders have managed to capture the distinctive caped shoreline and the beautiful low tide on this sim. Certainly worth a visit.

New page with places at Graziasl.com, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

I’ve added a new page with some pics of locations in SL which I thnk are worth exploring. There isn’t much there right now, but I will expand this section shortly, and if you have any tips to be included in this ever growing list, please feel free to send me an e-mail (graziahorwitz[at]gmail[dot]com) with a slurl or leave me a notecard with LM in world.

I plan to add maturity rating and whether or not you can (temporarily) rez objects for photoshoots and such.

Yep, I’ve made a More Than Meets the Eye Fashion Challenge Flickr group. I love making outfits, and I used to do reader style at Second Style for a while, which I’ve always found very inspiring.  So I wanted to do something involving the readers of my blog, which is an ever increasing number. Thank you for that.

So… what is the idea… From the outfits that I make, I pick 1 item every other week, which can be clothes, or shoes, hair, accessories, skin.. anything that I have been using, and I challenge you to get creative with that item.

For starters I’ve picked the high waisted skirt from Whippet&Buck, of which currently all proceeds are going to the Victorian Bushfire Relief. If you follow my blog, you know that I am a total fan of a good system skirt,  because it’s elegant and versatile and (not unimportant if you plan on attending tonight’s date auction at 7Ultra for above mentioned charity) it’s no prim! 

Anyway, I’m rambling. Every challenge will run for 2 weeks, you may submit 5 photos every week and the winner will be featured on this blog and will receive a small cash prize (L$500). As you see, it’s just for the fun of it.  Post editing is allowed, even encouraged, as long as the photos are still about the clothes.

Looking forward to seeing you participate.

Alt, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

So here is another one of the photos that I have been taking with the new Fleur skin. This photo is hardly touched. I have created the softness with in-world lighting and glow. Ok.. I retouched the buttocks, as they tend to look so edgy when you sit (and added the cast shadow)

But what this is about is not discussing photoshop techniques. It is to show you the details of the back of Allure. This skinline is fully hybrid, and showing more photorealism than previous Fleur skins. I think this back is so pretty, with the delicate spine and the shoulderblades so beautifully done. Oh, and did I mention I positively adore the dimples?

Allure will be available as of Sunday 19 October noon slt.

Persephone

Persephone is the latest addition to the vast skinrange at Adam ‘n Eve, and I think that Sachi really outdid herself on this one. Not only does she have a very pretty face, but her body… it is… yeah… hot. Smooth, with an exquisite shading and excellent high lights. I took some portrait photos, but really, do yourselves a pleasure and go try at least a demo. For the Adam ‘n Eve update group members the skins of the first set are currently available at half price in the secret room.

Rosemary Galbraith and Mimi Coral at M&R Cupcakes have new additions to their skinlines AND are having a sale… the Birthdaysuit skins are 50% off at L$ 500 and the new skins are only L$ 800 (20% off) til this weekend.

Having said that, I went totally broke on their new skins. Although one brand, the ladies have been working separately on these new additions. Plush is Rosemary’s new brain child and Magazine is the latest creation from Mimi.
Here are some photos (yeah.. I’m showing off my latest buys)

Tuli Asturias was kind enough to send me a set of the skin that she will release later today, the lovely Elizabeth, which is a tribute to Callie Joubert.

Instead of writing up yet another skin review, I decided to take a series of portraits of these skins. Hope you like them.

Fun

Just before I left for my holiday, my friend NIcky Ree asked if I was willing to model with her for her Kelly gowns. Ofcourse I accepted, and was all the more pleasantly surprised when I learned that marvelous black & white photographer Carl Crabe would be shooting.

I had a great time, and I am looking forward to work with both Nicky and Carl again. They both are great fun to be with.
