Pillow from Ezura Xue for Stand4Love
Ezura Xue made the cutest pillow for the Stand4Love project, it even has holding pose, all for free. So I really needed to make another photo with the pillow in it.
Photoshopping
Today I wanna show my first steps in the wonderful world of photoshop.
I've always taken a lot of snapshots in SL, but those magical moments always kept hidden in my inventory. I tried once to get some pics on my computer and photoshop them, but that wasn't a big success. I experienced lot of difficulty to work right on my Macbook.
But.......since 3 weeks or so an iMac joined my "Apple family" and so i thought it was worth to give the photoshop thing another try, That was not as easy as it sounds, but with trying and deleting i'm getting somewhere. Not even close to perfect, but for a photoshop newbie good enough (at least thats what I think lol)
I am really going from tutorial to tutorial, take the lessons learned into the photo, "Yay, it worked!" But the next day I have forgotten what I did, which tool i used and the program smiles at me:
" You'd better go back to the tutorials, dear!"

Second Life
In the virtual world Second Life my name is Shelly70 Resident. I have been a resident of this virtual world since june 11, 2011.
For all the people who now think: What the hell is Second life?!
Second Life is a 3D world where everyone you see is a real person and every place you visit is built by people just like you.
Did this make you curious? Take a look at the website http://secondlife.com
Over a year ago i had never even heard about Second Life, or SL as residents call it. I just finished a book (Karen Rose, I can see you) where murders took place on women who played in a virtual world called Shadowland.
That made me wonder if such a thing existed in the real world, and good old Google gave me Second Life. I just had my 1st birthday, rezday, as an avatar and getting more and more interested in photography and fashion in SL.
Recently I came across a wonderful project in SL, Stand4love.
Stand4love is an awareness charity project to promote the visibility and rights of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Straight loving couples to have the right to marry and be recognized by the law across the world.
It's a picture campaign in Second Life to spread awareness and promote equality and tolerance.
When I saw this I just had to participate. I believe strongly that each of us has the right to love without discrimination and intolerance!
