Archive for February, 2013


February has been quite the busy month for BamPu Legacies!  I have the honor in creating “themed” clothing and items for the Two Moons Paradise Venue to coordinate with their ongoing Events. This month (February 2013) I was asked to create for ALICE IN WONDERLAND.  I will follow this post with their Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Events soon.  But for now……….

Every time my friends and I visit Two Moons we are delighted with the most engaging entertainment.  Most of you are familiar with a couple of the following talents:

The turn out for the Alice In Wonderland Event has been thrilling!  It’s a delight to see the variety of themed outfits everyone wears as they walk through the castle gates.

I caught a glimpse of Baxter dancing in the air above Shiran as everyone was calling him to come down and join in ~ But I guess he preferred his moment in flight!

Shiran purchased all my clothing sets and every time I saw her, she was strutting about in one of them!  They look awesome on her!

As I was designing away on more outfits, my best friend ~ well hmmm ~ I have so many best friends in Second Life, so I’ll just say Vi is my best building and exploring buddy!  Anyway, she IM’d me in delight as she was showing off my Chelshire Sexy Cat Outfit to her friends and owners of White Tiger and told me she selected an unusual skin (by Fallen Gods) that coordinated perfectly with it!  She rushed in and I had to get a shot of her posing in it!

I’d like to take this moment to THANK SHIRAN for asking me to design for their venue!

Today I’m excited to show you my entry for the 2013 Oscar Fashion Photo Contest (see photo below) which is sponsored by Sascha’s Designs and Styles by Danielle!  I first learned about this contest while visiting The Rose Theatre with a friend. So I thought I’d do a little write up real quick about The Rose Theatre / Angel Manor and plan to add more notes regarding Sascha’s Designs and Stylle immediately following.

Information regarding the contest can be viewed here:

My first visit to The Rose Theatre / Angel Manor was in November 2012 while on another “photo shoot” opp with a friend.  He suggested we visit the Rose Theatre Art Gallery in hopes to continue my inspiration and aspirations for my personal graphics artwork and future plans with it in SecondLife and my personal website.

I have a grand collection of photographs to add to my website very soon. http://tanyaelisehowardphotography.yolasite.com/

The Rose Theatre

The first area we ventured into was the Library!  I gasped at the beauty and perfect texturing throughout which resulted in excellent craftsmanship in design.  I’m quite picky about texturing myself!  There are so many rooms and areas to visit ~ it reminds me of the Smithsonian Institute in that you just can’t see it all in one day!  I had seen photographs of this amazing Library on the web in the past and was delighted to actually be inside it now!  It’s breathtaking and is a “must see” in SL!!

Angel Manor Library

We spent several hours wondering around and taking pictures before we entered the Art Gallery since I was so excited for all the beautiful and entertaining surroundings.  Once inside the Art Gallery I studied carefully the variety of art displayed with impressed thoughts and kudos in my mind for the Artists!  I hope to show my work there someday, too.

I made sure to click on all the visitor information signs for their events, performance venues and art show dates.  This is when I read about the Oscar’s Photo Contest and decided right there and then to enter when the time came around again.

We went back many more times and attended an exquisite Christmas Event:  The Nutcracker Performance. I felt like I was actually living inside SL for real while gazing at the dancers and mesmerized by the music.

The gorgeous stage and extravagant performance hall is one of the most impressive I have seen in SL.  Quite glamorous!!  There is a sort of elegant vintage feel when you are a guest of this venue.  I hope they put on Phantom Of The Opera sometime soon, too!

The palace was built by Kaya Angel.  One of the rooms has magnificent art hanging with a photograph of Kaya and associates.  (photo to be added soon)

And so the time arrived to enter the 2013 Oscar Fashion Photo Contest and I have been a busy little bee changing into an array of evening gowns, setting up my own props at the BamPu Legacies Photography Studio and simply visiting sims to take pictures.  My friends always IM me to come play ~ but I have been on a mission for the last month to get that final photo to submit.  So, here you are!

I decided to take a little break from building since there are so many exciting SL HUNTS going on and wanted to share my accomplishment and some HUNT INFO with you!  I plan to continue bringing you Second Life adventures that I have experienced in hopes you will enjoy and partake as well!

Most of you know there is a place called The Cookie Jar House &  Garden Village Community which caters to your home and garden needs, makes a beautiful setting for taking pictures as well as having a central hub for active and current SL Hunts!  Teleport To:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Michigan%20Bay/37/121/25

 

Upon my entering the main adobe, there were 2 full boards for February Hunts ~ WOW!   And, if I counted it right, there are 43 hunts going on!  (There are probably lots more going on in SL, too, besides these.)

OH WOW! SO MANY HUNTS

The first board I clicked on sent me the Hunt Info titled “The Cookie Jar’s For The Love of … House and Garden Hunt (Feb 1-15)”.  The Info Cards given to you may describe the items in the hunts, discussions about the creators of items you will receive, any possible web links to refer to, any groups you may need to join for assistance, the creator names of persons forming the hunt and a link where the Hunt begins, etc.  The main advertising board for each Hunt will have an item attached to it depicting the theme of the hunt so you know to hunt for to receive your goodies.

The Cookie Jar's February Hunt

Some hunts are different in that they are performed within the same shop or sim, yet most are SL grid wide where you travel from location to location.  From my experience when you find the item and receive the folder it will give you a landmark (and sometimes a hint) for the next location.  While I was there, I clicked all the boards to read about their Hunts to decide which one I wanted to venture on to first.

Since this is the romantic month of Valentine’s Day wearing that perfect lingerie holds a desire for spending amorous moments with your significant other~ I chose “Carrie’s Lingerie BE MINE Hunt” for today.  So off I flew to her lovely shop {Teleport to: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Carries%20Dreams/87/140/22  } and so began the process of hunting for her ordained treasure chest.  I paid a mere $69Linden for the HUD.  Each time I found a chest, the item would fill up on onscreen HUD.  The hunt item is “Carrie’s Be Mine” lingerie which includes men’s and ladies!

Carrie's Lingerie Be Mine Hunt

Carrie’s Lingerie shop is quite unique as she displays several POSING PROPS for your enjoyment and photographic opportunities.  I fell in love with the “Diesel Works – The Debutante Chaise – Red” lounge and champaigne.  Had a little fun posing, took a break and sipped on Champaigne!

The Debutante Chaise

She also creates and sells her own POSING PROPS ~ my favorite is her “Love My Carries’ Shoes Pose Prop” which includes 7 poses with an over sized high heel.  Upstairs you will enjoy her posing room with delightful backgrounds.

Love My Carries' Shoes Pose Prop

A little more about her shop: They are holding a SALE every day until Valentine’s Day.  Her designs are exquisite so I hope you visit and shop with her soon!  She has Associates available for assistance, supports many celebrated SL Groups & Events and has a lovely entry desk area complete with information.

The shop is very well laid out ( no bumpies into other avi’s lol ) and her décor is quite eloquent!  You can purchase her items on the Second Life Marketplace https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/45794.  I love the shops that offer purchasing items as a GIFT while you are there and she has GIFT CARDS available for purchase at her front desk.

Carrie’s Lingerie offers a Reward Program which keeps track of your purchases to accumulate for discounts (click the sign to obtain info).  There are 2 groups available to join, one of which is her VIP Group for higher percentage discounts on your shopping pleasures with her!  If you are capped out on your Groups to join (like me), she has a Subscriber available for group notices and specials.  And most brilliant of all?  If you happen to be low on Linden, you can also purchase with your PayPal and Credit Cards!  Woohoo!

That last treasure chest was a doozy to find (and nope I can’t give you any hints), but once I filled up my HUD and received my luscious gift, I rushed home to try it on.  Knowing she has charming Posing Props, I thought it to be fun to take a few photographs there wearing my new “BE MINE” Valentine’s Lingerie ensemble and to mingle with a few friends.

Shopping With Friends

It’s always a pleasure to meet other hunter’s in the course of the hunt as well as do a little shopping!  Well you know me,  I tend to be a shopaholic! Linden Labs must love me! Her shop was quite busy with hunters and shoppers ~ I am sure she is thrilled!

Valentine's Day Delight

So the end result of my delicious hunt experience allowed me to create more stunning pictures for your viewing pleasure and to add to my collection of art!  Enjoy this hunt and reward!
