"When Horses Fly" by Bambi Chicque

“When Horses Fly” by Bambi Chicque

 

The Year Of Our Lord 1554:  Among the fjords of Bergen, one might capture a

glimpse of merhorses flying among the birds or gliding atop

the waves and tides of the azure seas…

Fast forward to 1846 where James Wilson and James Boehner sailed along the shores

of St. Margaret’s Bay in Nova Scotia when they spotted a great merhorse

with a flowing mane…..

Sometime in 1913 another observation by a steamer crew sat back in awe as one

appeared alongside with a smooth, yet furry seal-like body

reeling along the ocean’s mist….

And now in 2015 you can enjoy a prodigious scene with wondrous

flying horses at my SL12B BamPu Legacies & The SL Photographers Exhibit !!

Be sure to click the stars for a superb flying effect in front of the

turquoise Merhorse and elven bridge!

Enjoy!  Bambi

"SL12B Dreaming" by Bambi Chicque

“SL12B Dreaming” by Bambi Chicque

SL Community Celebration is upon us once again honoring our 12th birthday year!

Doors will open June 21 through June 28, 2015.

KEEP UP TO DATE: SL12B

“What Dreams May Come” is this year’s theme!

As I have been building there and flying around shooting photos for the SL12B Guide,

I am more than impressed with everyone’s envision of this

topic which touches us all in a melody of motifs!

We all love the multitude of fantasy faires, themed events, unique and different installment builds

along with visiting sims where the creator has peak elements of techy concoctions to present!

So, when we visit any of the SL Community Birthday Celebrations,

strolling along the sidewalks or riding the pod,

we spend hours upon hours filling our eyes, cameras and mind with the most

imaginative inventions where the Creator’s dream came alive!

You will find representation of role-play sims, universities, information centers,

charities, entertainment venues, art installments & galleries, scientific displays,

designers of many types

 exhibiting some of their creations available at their shops

….and more and more and more!

∻⊰♡ ⊱∻

This is an event where you will find our newcomers roaming with eagerness to learn,

creators and builders visiting one another’s exhibits and chatting along

with compliments and ideas, buyers and freebie hunters

looking for something odd or new or a souvenir to rez out

(all gifts at SL12B are free) and awe over,

bloggers snapping away for photos, writers writing away,

video experts shooting live footage,

entertainers galore at their scheduled events and wondering around afterwards to

say “howdy” to visitors, etc, etc, etc…..

the list flies on and on and dreams ever more!

∻⊰♡ ⊱∻

It’s my opinion that this event stands out with utmost importance

for all the citizens of Second Life

and reveals vast levels of reasons we are all here and spend so much time designing

who we want to be in this vibrant virtual world.

∻⊰♡ ⊱∻∻⊰♡ ⊱∻∻⊰♡ ⊱∻

Now a little rambling for me…and you…..

I personally prefer to dress a little more in casual fashion or jean-style attire while here;

taking me away from my endless role-play and exotic inventory folders.

Reason??

Well, I feel more comfortable and I prefer to do my part to keep the scripts and lag down.

This isn’t an event I want to go to and show off myself,

I want to see what everyone else is showing off!

∻⊰♡ ⊱∻

AVOID LAG – Just a little hint:

Once the celebration opens and with all the mixed ingredients, materials, scripts, textures,

music and huge crowds of avis…..there will be lag.

What can you do?

First off, close out everything!

Close out all browser windows, close out any programs you have running,

turn your preferences way down, turn off your mic,

wear non-scripted articles of clothing (why not go with just layered items?),

make sure you have X’d out all your messages that are lingering,

only have one inventory available (not two),

delete any landmarks that are hovering at the top of your screen and, in fact,

try to go just invisible!

Can you imagine how much this would help if everyone did this?

∻⊰♡ ⊱∻

So, now for my photo presenting my rendition of SL12B ~ 12-Year Birthday!….

The Annex sent this fashionable “Carrie” Skirt in Bird Of Paradise texturing just on time

for me to search for something comfy and casual; yet dressy enough for my photo!

(Actually, I am thrilled with it!)

I took the scripts out of my hair and found some non-scripted pumps to wear!

If you have ever been a Builder or part of the SL12B Team/Entertainment/Press

at any of the SL Celebrations, you know that at first peak

you see an endless and limitless row of empty sims after sims stretching out to dreamland.

The clouds pace and puff above you traveling around and around

until you finally start to see the spectacle of items

going up and up and up daily…..

and finally…..

towers and towers of intelligence, colors and complexity appear!

That’s why I thought I would give you a little “SL12B Dreaming” peak at what that’s like!

Enjoy!  xoxo Bambi

"In The Beginning There Was Poetry" by Bambi Chicque

“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!

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…

regardless of religion and/or gender.

How simple and utterly true!

“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!

"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!

I followed along the SL10B 10 Year Anniversary walk along with many friends and sometimes just on my own.

I am STILL not finished!

I was amazed at how much I learned about various histories of sims, projects, details & upgrades within Linden Lab,

interests of our citizens and the enormous amount of creative people we have among ourselves!

"Inspiration" ~ Dancing at SLB10

“Inspiration” ~ Dancing at SLB10

A lot of interactive sections took my special interest.

I decided to visit the sites sometimes in casual attire and others…..well you will see below….

It’s hard NOT to stop at every display to read, click or just set back in awe.

Almost every vendor has awesome free gifts for you to take home, too!

(Oh my ~ my inventory totally grew..expanded…packed!  Wonder how long it will take me to rez it all!)

I made sure to keep a special folder with information, note cards and landmarks for places to visit once this event has ended.

The Scout ~ Vian!

The Scout ~ Vian!

Vian was my SCOUT!  She was always one step ahead of me sending me landmarks and lists of places to go visit.

Every time we got together, we found ourselves laughing and yet separated as I would go one way and she would go another! LOL

Here she is posing for me at Spellbound ~ One of the most magnificent designs I have yet to see.

If you haven’t been yet, today is the LAST DAY!

The SL10B Birthday Cake is spectacular!  

Below this “dripping-in-icing-and-kiwi-and-chocolate-and-strawberry” cake is one of the main stages for dancing and entertainers.

If you watch the local chat, you could chuckle all day!

SL10B Bear Avatar ~ Bambi Bear Dancing

SL10B Bear Avatar ~ Bambi Bear Dancing

Today I decided to go ALL BEAR OUT and wear SecondLife’s gift to everyone (free on marketplace for a limited time).

I took a stroll down the History area where I posed a few times as a for sure Female SL Bear! 🙂

This one made the crowd around me cheer and laugh.  I could hear the sound of the cameras going off! hehe

So I’m sure somewhere out there on the web is another picture or two of Bambi wearing this cute Bear outfit!

Met a few folks there and shared some “fun times” stories together.  It’s wonderful how much we all love SecondLife!

The Bear Avatar Costume was quite easy to put on, nothing to alter ~ Just bear and GOOOOOOOOOO!

~ PLEASE RETURN SOON ~

I cannot even begin to count how many photographs I took and will be posting them here…..

….along with a fun surprise….

OKIES…hopping back in now ~ still have people to see and places to go at the SL10B Event!

Hope to see you there!
