"Washed Up Mannequins" by Bambi Chicque

“Washed Up Mannequins” by Bambi Chicque

The Mannequin!

They are used, yet not necessarily abused..

We see them with draped furs, diamonds & denims

Some have beautiful heads,

Some are bald and some, well they don’t even have eyes!

But if you watch one closely for a long periord

You just might catch that magical *wink* a time or two!

Watch out, a huge smile will blossom on both yours and theirs.

We turn and walk away while they stand all alone

Through the nights of closed doors

And after a few years of perpetual stiffness

They may begin to sway…

Off to the storage or alley’s way

Where do these lovelies all go?

Wondering minds want to know…

By Bambi Chicque

We in SL seem to be mesmerized by mannequins, dummies & models!

We see them in all shapes, colors and forms.

Such a delight to have them hanging around with useful purpose

or just simply decorating our gardens or parlors.

I fell in love with all: Anc’s Mannequin as the headless horse,

Remarkable Oblivian’s steampunk-ish and soiled, AND the newest

one to my inventory is 22769’s Tailor’s House Mannequin designed

for the Fantasy Gacha Carnival !

I’m encouraging you to snag up Black Tulip’s “Beauty” Pose Collection, too!

She has 2 sets and both have mirrored poses.

I use these elegant poses all the time!

Hope you enjoyed my lil’ review as much as I did creating it!

These mannequins are

gorgeous in every way – Bravo to all these Designers!

"Mama Wata Sightings" by Bambi Chicque

“Mama Wata Sightings” by Bambi Chicque

The mystical shrines of Mama Wata deities are often rendered in their most ancient

primordial interpret of the mermaid.  The ancient Africans, known as the Dogon’s,

claim to have known the existence of mermaids and mermen

4,000 years ago and titled them as Nommos.

The archaic homes for Mama Watta and Nommos’ is written to be from

Orion’s Belt (Sirius celebrated star system) and were water spirits born from the sea.

Stories from Londoner’s Naturalists Henry Lee (1883) recounts that “in

the sea of Angola, mermaids are frequently caught and resemble the human species.

They are taken in nets, and…” are heard to shriek and cry like women.

Mami Wata derives from the words mommy/mammy and water.

Although there are no real historical roots to Mami Wata,

their stories can be traced linguistically through the languages of Africa.

To ask one from that beautiful and mysterious part of our world, they would say

Mami Wata came from the ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia

(derived from two African words “Mama” and “water”).

The first honored water goddess in Mesopotamia mythology reads from the

stories of their Creation Flood, also known as “Mami”; Mami Aruru

was a known ancient Babylonian prayer as the

Creator Of Life (Dalley 2000, p. 51-16, Stone 1976, p. 7, 219).

Where ever our beloved mermaids came from or live today,

I always vision them to be free, gleeful and perky!

Splashing about with their great tails,

walking on air above the sea bubbles and blissfully watching the ships from afar.

I imagine they make their homes in the deepest of our seas among sunken ships

where treasures have been collected to decorate their ocean quarters.

Creatures of such beauty must exist!  I believe in mermaids, don’t you?

Special Note ~ The Fantasy Collective is still open!

Gentle reminder to all you merfolk….

your dreams will come true with this round of fantasy

Under The Sea wardrobe, accessories & décor!

Happy Swimming!

"My Home, My Space" by Bambi Chicque

“My Home, My Space” by Bambi Chicque

☽ ↭ ☾

My Home, My Space

I am not alone as I gaze

There is a peace with spiritual delight

My tranquil world within the planet’s haze

All full moons are upon us tonight

Ne’er til land the Heavens spew

Stray stars quicken for love’s embrace

My traveling companion howls hereto

This is my home, my comfortable space.

I thought it was about time to update my profile photo

and have had an idea in mind for a while.

Upon flipping over The Plastik’s new

Areiya Circlet Silver RARE

and

CHARRY’S new

Nevermore GOLD Headpiece RARE,

the time was perfect to

put my wardrobe together for this idea!

Ultimately, my Saturday was full of posing with

various outfits and decor and I finally completed

a few of the photos in the wee hours of

Sunday morning, before Church….wheeew!

Hope you enjoy!!

Gentle Mother, font of mercy,
Save our sons from war, we pray,
Stay the swords and stay the arrows,
Let them know a better day.
Gentle Mother, Strength of Women,
Help our daughters through this fray,
Soothe the wrath and tame the fury,
Teach us all a kinder way.

….For Mercy during war.

“Night Lands” by © Bambi Chicque

Here goes for the first set of pix I made after I

“shopped-til-I-dropped” at one of the most poignant and impressive events I have yet to blog!

THE SECRET AFFAIR is all about the HBO Series “GAME OF THRONES”!

(I have DVD-taped each and every episode in all seasons so far – I am sooooo hooked!)

I have been building up some momentum to take more pix as soon as I can!

My lovely inventory is loaded with just about everything on display at the GOT Event!

“Experience The Vision” by © Bambi Chicque

How do you perfect perfection?

Birdy is among that perfect list!

And I was … touched by the impact ALL of the GOT Designers put forth

in design, texture, mesh modeling, etc, etc, etc!

KUDOS to all Secret Affair Game Of Thrones Creators!

I mentioned Birdy since my very first roleplay skin I ever purchased in SL

was hers.  Not to mention the lavish and well decorated shop that I went to

many times for photo shoots! *grins*  I have watched Birdy rise to the top!

So the first item I panned to find was her new skin for this event:

Daenerys Skin PORCELAINE(+SLINK+LOLA+PhatAzz)!!

(I just love it when an event/fair skin has all the extras loaded into the pack!)

Thanks so much, Birdy! 🙂

So in honor of all the items Blade and I are wearing and decorated with,

please be sure to visit this passionate event (with GACHAs) so you, too, may enjoy!

I spoke with Manna Montana Volcatius
