“In The Beginning There Was Poetry” by Bambi Chicque

In The Beginning There Was Poetry

Images and metaphors are primary speech, conveyors of truth

— durable yet pliable, precise yet ever expansive in the vision of the world

(and ourselves) they set before us.

Ultimately, every picture tells a story!

“Take Me To The River” by Bambi Chicque

Today is the last day to enjoy SL11B and I wanted to quickly share a great

relaxing and posing exhibit that you might want to “jump in and breathe in”

before midnight tonight!  I took these photos right at the beginning of my

exploration on Enchant and fell in love with Marco Antonio Diego Rhapsody’s

design and build!  Make sure to visit MAD Garden of Eden! which was designed

to be a tranquil social hangout!

Great job, Marco!

DARE TO DREAM by Bambi Chicque

Life holds momentous magic

For those who Dare To Dream

Dare To Fly

Dare to be the ever chosen one to touch the sky

Make a foofaraw glide

Into the lollapalooza you dream to be

Record your life

And brand who you are

With the best significant legacy.

The 2nd  photo was taken for the SL11B Guide and while

there taking shots of this gorgeous and mysterious garden

I chanced upon the “owl” which gave me the tour and playtime

this exhibit has to offer!

Tori Landau is the Builder of this beauty and wishes to promote…

“Dare to Dream of a time when peace & respect for everyone prevails

regardless of religion and/or gender.

How simple and utterly true!

"Galaxy Dance" by Bambi Chicque

“Galaxy Dance” by Bambi Chicque

The restless wind has seen all things in every kind of light

Rising with the full moon to go howling through the night

The sleepless wind has heard all things between the sea and sky

In the canyons of the city you can hear the buildings cry.

The dust has settled from production of the SL11B EXHIBIT GUIDE 2014;

so now I have time to show you some amazing exhibits and photos I have been

collecting along the way!

Owl and I dashed over to the IMPRESSIVE DJ STAND sporting our

SL11B Robot Avatars; tossed on a few accessories and away we flew for

a fantastic time and photo shoot together!

July 5, 2014 will be the last day SL11B will be open.

If you have not had the opportunity to pick up your own Robot

– you can grab it either at SL11B or Marketplace!

This is a shot I took of IMPRESSIVE for the SL11B Guide 2014.

The canyons stretch across the full sim area and you will find

hidden caverns leading to all sorts of surprises, dance areas and

you can even be the DJ!  I was certainly “impressed”!

This is an example of a cyber cavern leading to the main stage

Kaz (kazuhiro.aridian) – the magnificent Builder of this beauty spent

at least 2 months preparing Impressive for our celebration!

I get a kick when I read and catch up on what he’s up to:

[call me kaz]

I look forward to following him and to see what he creates next!

Kaz is an amazing 3D Modeler and Texture Artist!

“Behind The Scenes” SL11B Press Team ~ Bambi Chicque

First I would like to say it has been an honor and super pleasure to

work on the SL11B Celebration Press Team in many aspects.

But most especially bonding with the ladies who collaborated with me

“Behind The Scenes”!

Thank you, Saffia, Alianna & Debby! *hugzzz*

❤  ❣  ❤

If one only knew the longest of hours spent and even preparation still

in edit mode glimpsing at the early morning sun peaking through your curtains as you

sit diligently at your keyboard with 4 or 5 programs running, responding to emails,

zapping proofs into dropbox, jumping inworld to shoot photographs, searching

spreadsheets for vital information, double checking SLURLs and URLs, sorting

inventories and grabbing yet another cup of coffee….

Only then would one know the experience of “Behind The Scenes”!

And, it is entirely worth all the efforts and significant excitement of the end result!

I wanted to take some time today to give a SPECIAL THANK YOU

I contacted her during the set up period of SL11B as we are both

exhibitors there and asked if she could squeeze some time in for me!

She has always been there for me and her answer was “Of Course”!

Melonie created 12 exclusive poses for my Simba Lioness and Simha Lion

for our SL11B Enchant: BamPu Legacies and The Photographers of SL. SL11B Exhibit and

I am thrilled with the animations she also added to them!

My favorite is the Lion Trainer pose (shown here)!

working until the weeee hours of the nights taking photographs for the

What can I say about Max…..One of my favorite SL Photographers and friends

in SL!  I always enjoy his work as he adds it to his FLICKR stream and all the fun

comments we make back and forth on our SL feed!  He has an eye for landscape

and brings the beauty of all we enjoy within the deep realms of our amazing

sims in SL ~ as eye candy to our souls through his work.

He is quick to send out Christmas gifts and greetings throughout the year!

Such a pal he is and I am truly honored to have him join our team!

Melonie and I have enjoyed a splendid friendship and I am one of her favorite customers

for her Razmataz Poses!  She creates supberb posing possibilities for all of the

SL Photographers and Bloggers

to conquer particular themes, provides props and much more!

I have been a member of her group since I joined SL and it’s always a pleasure to get

a sweet IM from her as we discuss new ideas together.  I helped her just a tad with some

ideas for her Mermaid Pose series a while back and made sure

I had all of them in my Mermaid Closet!

Melonie came to my regard when I asked if she would create some EXCLUSIVE POSES

for my Simba Lioness and Simha Lion for our SL11B Exhibit!  She worked hard to make

these poses just perfect for them and you can enjoy hopping on these majestic beauties

at our exhibit!  (I am adding them to my BamPu Legacies Shop today.)

Yep, that’s me!  I couldn’t wait to get the email that I was accepted as an Exhibitor

at the SL11B Celebration!  I remember traveling throughout SL10B taking photos,

collecting gifts and hoping to be a part of their 11th Birthday!  *Yeah!!*

So, I wanted to share my idea of hosting some amazing photography with a variety

of styles, personalities and concepts to what we can cleverishly

(yes that’s a word in the dictionary lol )

put together for an ever loving audience in the real world as well as our inworld!

I have a new exclusive framed photograph on the 2nd floor as a gift for everyone, too!

As a part of the SL11B BIG HUNT……come see what you can find as you glide through

our dreamy exhibit and don’t forget to bring your umbrella!

"SL11B Ride The Pod" by Bambi Chicque

“SL11B Ride The Pod” by Bambi Chicque

As Owl and I were tweaking our “BamPu Legacies & The Photographers of SL” SL11B exhibit,

I had to set up the Pod Generator info that was sent to me!

As soon as the task was over, I hopped on the passing by POD and Owl joined me!

And away we went….with a breathtaking surprise…..

Here is how the POD works:

You can hop on the POD as you see it coming by or even at a distance.

My suggestion is to slide in at a starting point station so you can see and do it all!

The POD will travel on a designated route throughout the entire SL11B Celebration sims.

This gives you the chance to set back, relax and take it all in!

As you pass by an exhibit be sure to read the CHAT

as it will give you a description for that model!

One could jot down notes as to which exhibit they would like to return to

or just hop off and explore!

But here is the fun part………

Ride The Pod Bucket List LOGo

As the POD travels through the outer sections, it will change into a Hot Air Balloon and

fly you around and even a nice comfy Boat to glide you along the waters edge!

We were unable to complete our tour yesterday morning,

BUT IT’S ON MY BUCKET LIST #1 THING TO DO

when the celebration opens on June 22nd NOON SLT!

And I suppose you already noticed, two people can ride together!

Soooooo! Add this to your SL11B BUCKET LIST, TOO!

Keep up with all the news, details, highlights, event schedules and more!

I’ll be posting more information on our BamPu Legacies & The Photographers Of SL, soon!

To visit us, just click your VIRTUAL POD HERE!

Can’t wait to see you all there!

SL11B ~ The Mysteries Of Sanctuary

"Beware Of The Future" by Bambi Chicque

“Beware Of The Future” by Bambi Chicque

Have you started your SL11B Celebration Landmark Folder yet?

You did?….Great….Because here is another to add to your “Must See & Do List”!

If you love roleplay……..

you will love the mystifying Sanctuary CCS Dark Role Play Comminity’s Exhibit!

We all enjoy the roleplay fairs and hunts to snatch up all the

greatest of wardrobe items for our closets,

so now you have a place to wear it all when you visit SANCTUARY!

◄₪※₪►

I spoke at length more than once with Stevie Basevi since I was elated with her exhibit and

I even took the time to visit Sanctuary CCS Dark Roleplay 8XP myself.

It’s quite evident that she has been more than diligent in the building process of her exhibit

to exemplify what you will encounter at Sancturary!

This is a great posing area for anyone

interested in capturing yourself amid exotic creatures, too!

"Dueling Moon" by Bambi Chicque

“Dueling Moon” by Bambi Chicque

She has an assortment of items, landmarks and information snuggled into a box for you

to pick up while there; which I do advise that you keep this handy so you, too, can enjoy

the endless roleplay and possibilities Sanctuary has to offer.

◄₪※₪►

SANCTUARY CCS Dark Roleplay 8XP

Upon entering Sanctuary, your curiosity will suddenly gloze bursts in your mind.

You will want to see and do everything!

~ Enter the realm via stargate ~

Land at an extraordinary lost world……

for whom some called it Sodom, but now is simply “Sanctuary”!

Eons ago, man’s great age of technology and science came to an abrupt end.

Evil burst forth and the world was torn asunder.

Strange and exotic creatures were unleashed.

The world was changed and struggled to survive

against the legions of undead horrors.

◄₪※₪►

Sanctuary was an enclave of safety on the new chaotic “Earth”…….

…….Or was it?

"World Stuck In Time" by Bambi Chicque

“World Stuck In Time” by Bambi Chicque

(I took about 50 photos of Sanctuary’s Exhibit and finally

decided on 3 as a sneak peak!)

Shown here in “World Stuck In Time” is her Sanctuary Globe!

◄₪※₪►

The seat of power and Sanctuary’s only city is indeed Sodom,

of the biblical Sodom and Gomorrah.

Legend speaks of these twin cities of depravity and decadence

being destroyed by a vengeful god.

In fact, a pact was made which allowed only one city to be destroyed

and the other to be spared.

The great Sultan grieved for his lands and made a bargain with the Djinn,

which he promptly broke. His punishment was having all that made him human,

torn from him, his body forever encased in a crystal orb.

◄₪※₪►

The great city of Sanctuary now resides in a hidden place, away from the world and reality.

As time passed, magical beings flocked to it; vampyres, werewolves, elves, demons,

angels and many others.

In the city of Sanctuary,

you will find great mysteries, horrors and pleasures, still awaiting discovery.

◄₪※₪►

Sanctuary is also participating in the SL11B Hunt!

Remember, the Opening Date is JUNE 22, 2014 ~ NOON SL TIME!

Okies…so now I must go open all my goodies I picked up at Sanctuary’s Exhibit….

Hope to see you there, too!

hUgZzzzzz ~ Bambi

Oh ~ btw…………………………………………….
