Fallen God and Goddess 2012 Election


Dear Fallens, 
I will be honest with you... I simply can't believe this is the fourth year I write this, and soon almost fifth year of the Temple. I know there are many of you who know already how it works, but to all the new Fallens I welcome you to a traditional contest in which we, the residents of SL, elect our favourite God and Goddess.
Before you think: this is not for me, let me explain you how are the criteria:
....
...
...
noone.
Well, you just have to wear one of My skins and be alone in the pic, but that's it. You don't need to be an awesome photographer if you have creativity, fun ideas or a great look; you don't have to sport a great look if you are an awesome photographer ...and you dont have to own any of those if you have plenty of friends.
You don't have friends to vote for you? The public is fair, might support you or you might simply aim at one of the special jury prizes* which are not less rich than than the main ones.
Get your swing shoes on, Fallen, I want your pics, it's time to get out of your skybox and kick the dance fl.., well, Temple. Wish to see you in many and remember: what matters is having fun with it. Please check the participation rules below, some are very important, and thanks in advance for taking time to read them.
Yours, 
Alia

*Special Jury is composed by:
Alia Baroque, Alia, Fallen Gods Inc. Owner, Libertine Owner, Mr. Baroque, the Idiot(TM), The Bastard, The "YouaresomeanIhateyouandwillneverevercyberwithyouagain" guy and Sweetheart Muffin Tom.

PRIZES
(All prizes are for male and female, separate competitions)

First Prize: 3 Full skin lines 
(example: all hybrids + evolution + elves, one gender)

Second Prize: 2 Full skin line
(example: all hybrids, one gender)

Third Prize: 1 full skin line

Runner up: 3 skins of choice.

All contestors will receive a limited edition gift for participating.

More secret awards with weird names will be given at the end of the competition during the Anniversary Event, the prize for those are by tradition a skin of choice.

RULES 
Important: This year all pics shall be sent to Elizabeth Tinsley, mostly because I tend to cap a lot.                       
                         
-   You will need a snapshot of yourself, this is the way people will be able to vote you. Your image will be your presentation card, it will summary all what you want to say so I suggest you take time to choose or to create one that really satisfies and represents you. The artistic value itself of the image and it’s originality will be for sure something that will help you getting noticed by the voters. 

-   You need to wear a Fallen Gods Inc. skin. All the rest: location, outfit, etc. is by your choice. It’s the only requirement, since without it the competition itself has no sense.

-   There must be only one avatar in the image, yourself, otherwise it can get confusing. And it shall be only one pic.

-   You will deliver to Elizabeth Tinsley a FULL PERMISSIONS texture named FGI12 name surname (example: FGI12 John Doe). I will not exclude on prior who mistakes that, but I might not find your texture and so miss to place you in the voting. Also the ratio shall be that of a standard snapshot and monitor size (3:2), vertical and square cuts will have your image deformed. Please do not put your image in notecards, boxes or folders.

-    I will accept your images untill Friday, October 12, 2012.

-   On Saturday 13 I will place out the panels with your pictures, the system will be a single click vote by avatar, for all the pics one likes, so the Jury will be all SL that comes to Selidor. The voting will last untill friday 19 October included, the day before the Fifth Anniversary Celebration. In this occasion the winners will be announced.

-   The maximum number of participants by gender is 30, so if it exceeds that number I will make a preliminary selection based mostly on the picture aesthetics and interesting look.

-      Very Important: Please. Do not contact me about anything concerning this matter in IM or by note. I will have a very busy time untill the Anniversary. (Please remember to send your pics to Elizabeth Tinsley). Anything else that will be needed to know will come by Group notice.

SUMMARY: rename pic as example, set permissions to copy modify and transfer(full perm), drop texture/pic alone to Elizabeth Tinsley) then enjoy the election week untill the Anniversary Party.

Even more Important!!!! : Have Fun!

The Dancing Sun


Dance with the Sun.
Every Hour a shrine,
every shrine some thoughts,
every thought shared for more to come.
Allow Me to waste your time, and slow it down in the richness that can be our mind, this way maybe allowing time to become nothing than just an idea.
Dance with the Sun.

Fallens for a Phoenix

There are moments in which it's not hard to realize what is right and what is wrong. There are moments in which you know what side you will take, because when you hear about something that happened you can reflect your own self in this situation easily: What if this happened to Me? Well I would for sure appreciate any help the creator community could give Me, so I will stand on Gala side, even if never had the pleasure to meet her, and see her surname as a symbol of good luck, to let her Phoenix reborn from ashes in full glory, fire and splendor.

One voice is an event created to support Gala Phoenix, creator of Curio, to fight for her rights. If you wish to know more you can read here: http://curioonline.org/

One Voice Location: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mesh/198/241/22

And if I manage to access the sim and set up, here are the new Fire Salamanders and the second chance over Petite Doves. Salamanders might see soon an official line, though Petite Doves will keep a limited edition for occasions as this. The Sales are 100% for Gala, so I am not ashamed to advertise it, go buy if you like them and help her out, for us creators there's no line between SL and RL.

summer of sanity

The summer poem
"I warn you ,
this is a somewhat
longer post and not featuring
any new release but...
there's a lot of interesting
places
to visit if you didn't yet and a
barechest guy.
(there's also me playing twister,
but am not barechest)
oh, Ligeia."

A.B. Normal - Sonets for Nudebutt est.1765

So comes this time of the year in which I do "the hunt".
Being pretty known for sucking at hunting and loosing hours to find something that is just on the table in front of me, am also pretty known for being quite evil when hiding things. Doing one hunt at least yearly reminds me to have mercy and behave more, not making things so damn complicated to find.
This year, as well previous years, I challenged myself with the Sanity Falls hunt, because:
1. It has a cool bloody story with a tortured woman
2.The starting setting is an amazing sim, where you can immerse completely in the story line and explore
3. The story follows you also while you hunt trough stores (no spoilers)
4. The places I had the chance to discover through the hunt were great
5. The hunt ends June 30, so I had to do it or would miss the game and Kiana would not make kinks with me.


Here's the starting point to the madpea hunt 
(you need a hud to play).
and here are some pictures:






As I mentioned above, I had the chance to discover some really great places which, unless stumbling across a pic on flickr or finding a blog post, I might have missed. (I don't find a lot of time to go around and explore in those last years, and I hate that)

Let's start with Warbug, I ended up being on that sim for almost 3 hours, buying half store, flying on my brand new dirty pig warbug and inviting over a bunch of friends, so it ended up with a hello kitty party.
Visit you must. Black Forest (174,61,21)




Another place is Boho Hobo. (Trillia (191,41,2114)
Go see for yourself, this sim is deep and special.




Then I went out of a store, that was a flashy coloured house, and realized I was in a kid's toy room... much to say here, but will just leave to you the fancy quotes.Thumper (82,53,105)


I never had a thing for Alice in Wonderland, but this museum dedicated to everything concerning the book, author and RL Alice was truly interesting. (Unfortunately no nude pics there, sorry guys) Mieville Shelley (44,175,24)


Second Life chartography: This is just plain awesome, makes you feel afterall it's not just bits and pixels but that we actually have some history and geography going out there.
Just awesome. New Kadath (34,29,22)
(the gallery was not directly part of the hunt, but found it through one of the participating stores)


I hope you enjoy visitng those places as I did,
Yours,
Alia

... ah wait, the barechest guy, yes.

So glad it's finally summer.

Saligia

The seven deadly sins Hunt starts today and ends the 16 of June. Enaugh time to choose your sin?
Hope you enjoy,
Alia

More Informations on the Hunt on 
Selidor slurl
What are you searching for?
A pomegranate, the original fruit of sin (not as often though being the apple)

HINTS
Every sin is associated to the traditional animal rappresenting them, find the creature and you will find your own sin.
Toad - avarice;
snake - envy;
lion - wrath;
snail - sloth;
pig - gluttony;
goat - lust;
peacock - pride.

SALIGIA is a name invented to rappresent the seven sins, a composition of the first letter of each sin from its latin names:
Superbia = Pride/Vanity
Avaritia = Greed
Luxuria = Lust
Invidia = Envy
Gula = Gluttony
Ira = Wrath
Acedia = Sloth
For a more complete and well written information sheet about the whole theme you can check the wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins

Each Mask is a personal interpretation of a sin, and will let you discover on your own how it fits. 
I will add here also the quotes for the wall trophies which I chose personally from Dante Alighieri's Inferno and Purgatorio Poems, and its translations.

Superbia Wall Trophy, 
from Purgatorio, canto X

Vero è che più e meno eran contratti    
secondo ch'avien più e meno a dosso;    
e qual più pazïenza avea ne li atti,
piangendo parea dicer: 'Più non posso'.
-----------
True is it, they were more or less bent down,
According as they more or less were laden;
And he who had most patience in his looks
Weeping did seem to say, "I can no more!"


Avaritia Wall Trophy, 
from Inferno, canto VII

Qui vidi gente più ch'altrove troppa,
e d'una parte e d'altra, con grand'urli,
voltando pesi per forza di poppa.
-----------
Here saw I people, more than elsewhere, many,
On one side and the other, with great howls,
Rolling weights forward by main force of chest.


Luxuria Wall Trophy, 
from Inferno, canto V

La bufera infernal, che mai non resta,
mena li spirti con la sua rapina;
voltando e percotendo li molesta.
-----------
The infernal hurricane that never rests
Hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine;
Whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them.


Invidia Wall Trophy, 
from Purgatorio, canto XIII

E come a li orbi non approda il sole,
così a l'ombre quivi, ond' io parlo ora,
luce del ciel di sé largir non vole;
-----------
And as unto the blind the sun comes not,
So to the shades, of whom just now I spake,
Heaven's light will not be bounteous of itself;


Gula Wall Trophy, 
from Inferno, canto VI

Urlar li fa la pioggia come cani;
de l'un de' lati fanno a l'altro schermo;
volgonsi spesso i miseri profani.
-----------
Howl the rain maketh them like unto dogs;
One side they make a shelter for the other;
Oft turn themselves the wretched reprobates.


Ira Wall Trophy, 
from Inferno, canto VI

Buio d'inferno e di notte privata
d'ogne pianeto, sotto pover cielo,
quant'esser può di nuvol tenebrata,
-----------
Darkness of hell, and of a night deprived
Of every planet under a poor sky,
As much as may be tenebrous with cloud,


Acedia Wall Trophy, 
from Purgatorio, canto XVIII

Ma questa sonnolenza mi fu tolta
subitamente da gente che dopo
le nostre spalle a noi era già volta.
-----------
But taken from me was this drowsiness
Suddenly by a people, that behind
Our backs already had come round to us.

The Faire is dead. Long live the Faire.

I am unsure where to start...but I know how it ended. I got: burnt alive by dragons, drowned in a kid's pool , stabbed by scissors, assaulted by a koala with a cannon, piled up by 8 avatars, some pretty heavy, sold My naked chest for donation sake, got slapped by fish and forced to a shotgun marriage to a tiny black cat. But in general... I had the best time ever. Thank you Fantasy Faire, thank you friends, thanks to all of you that made that event beautiful for eyes, spirit and soul.
Thank You.
Sincerely Yours,
Alia Baroque

I wished to collect here a few pics from the Faire, but realised they are hundreds I wanted to include, so go ahead, check the official flickr group or simply search for fantasy faire recent pics, who knows you might grab some fancy and amusing spotlight.


And now something completely different. I am participating at the Beltane Festival with Libertine. Check the post on My Libertine blog, it has boobs.


Captain Ferret and The Jungle Bungles, will be back (eventually)

Burn Me or Drown Me?


Today, Saturday 28 April, 1pm SLT at the Tides sim, Fantasy Faire 2012
Elementals took possession over dragon spirits, enchaining their bodies with their marks, to make them more powerful for the ultimate challenge: Who will be granted the sacrifice of the Flesh Carver? Drown in the abyss or burnt to the skies?


SLURL
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/The%20Tides/187/128/44


You are kindly invited (oh whatever) to My Jail and bail, this Saturday, lasting just one hour from 1 to 2 pm SLT (and maybe a bit more if the party keeps rocking). You will be granted two incarnations, elemental fire or water through your donations and the higher army will win the right to administrate the ultimate sacrifice over the evil flesh carving idiot (lucky Me).
So come donate, grab home a unique special edition skin set and have fun in throwing at Me vegetables, dead seagulls, eggs, naked women (hint) while you discuss all kind of ways to drown or burn Me, see you there!
Yours (not for long)
Alia
And there's also a small bonus gift for all level of donations.
