From Japan to SL

  

Short time ago, there was a bikini party at the meeting area Hiromist.




About 20 guests gathered together. Since the dance was so quick and the formation was changed randomly, it was very hard to shoot SSs.




I have not been there through the party, there should be many guests who were not included here.




I had meant to shoot all cool bikinis, but it was actually impossible due to the quick movement. I made a bikini by myself for the day but no one mentioned about it. I asked Pin2 dancing behind me to see my outfit but she was not able to move her camera because it was too heay.




The hideous bikini I wore the day. The eyes are not texture on the bra but eye balls were set, so it was possible to move. But it could not pay off since no one noticed.





  

My friend Pin2 introduced me to a bike freaks meeting. As it was named “Meeting”, I thought it would be a touring with many choppers and hot rods, but it was a dance event.




I do not have a dress for such meeting, so I picked up a similar clothing. The one with a pink gang dress swinging the Japanese naval ensign is Pin2 who is normally gentle.




After all it was very heavy. The dance was moving smoothly but I was dropped out soon while shooting pictures. There were several old acquaintances but I was not able to say hello, sorry for that.




Could it read as “Fantasy Bike Freaks”? I visited there next day to shoot bikes presented on the day but all have gone. This was a famous team who made several events every year. I look forward to the next time.





  

The SIM mainly for dancing, Dance Island is celebrating the 13th anniversary. There might be several events but I did not see them due to the time difference. The glass pyramid is the permanent dance hall and the area surrounded by palm trees is the special event zone.

The theme might be Arabian Nights. In frond of the hall, there are several camels, and nice flying carpets are parked. Sad to say that it is impossible to fly it or to sit on it. I am just floating above it with adjusting the position.




I had been visiting this place whenever I felt lonesome. There were always many people dancing and made me happy in the cloud. There were always some acquaintances and sometime we enjoyed formation dance with my friend and her friends. Once I invited my date here.




In the afternoon Japan time, there is no body, so I danced alone. Wore some clothing that goes with the Oriental settings.




Found a rare dancing named Moon Dance, which might be a dance in a base on the moon where the gravity is low.




Tossed up high, feeling like zero gravity for a moment. Relaxing whole body and falling down while believing him to catch me, I felt a kind of pleasurable sensation.




When writing up to here, I wondered what happens if he did not receive my body, so I visited there to shoot more pictures. When he quit dancing at this moment, I also stopped at the same time and stood up with dry eyes.




When doing this dance in RL, I would prefer a person who I can trust that he does not fail to receive me, and I do not mind being touched my bare body. ^-^








  

After a long interval, I entered but no one is IN, so I visited the Dance Island. There were always some friends to dance and it was so clouded that we had to find a space to do a small line dance, but today there was only one couple dancing in the wide remodeled hall. May be because of the time difference but it became a lonely spot. Outside of the hall, autumn leaves were swirling in the air, I danced alone together with the cool music.




The shopping area had been somewhat empty and nobody was there today. There was a nice chess set in the place. In the Europe, chess sets may be not only for a play but also for decoration. I have never seen an actual play in the SL. There are some sets that cannot be played. Second Life itself might have become a kind of decoration rather not for a play. It is OK as an art,…




I know only how to move the men, but have many chess sets. May be because my father had some but there are many beautiful sets for interior figures. This one is a large set found in RL, that was located a place that looks not good for actual play. The mat seemed to be movable so this could be used actually.






  

Masquerade is nice. I love the music by Khachaturian too. I attended in SL several times. This is an old dance club Pleiades where I visited often. The transparent dress is a kind of bug.




Self-portrait with mask for profile of my blog. There are not so much variations with color change only. This kind of masks may require a magnificent nose^-^　The well-fitting accessories are Mandara.




Masks in RL. I dreamt of them but they need beautiful nose and mouth. There are some that covers whole face, but it could be embarrassing if I picked up a cute one and my nose did not fit in… A Joy of masquerade may be to be able to have other figure and facial expression away from daily ones. It could be also fun to wonder who the person is. In SL, it could have been interesting if the organizer announced to recommend to erase name tags above avatars.




In this sense the whole SL has been a masquerade for me. I enjoyed dancing everyday with different clothing and figure that cannot be done in RL. I have about 1000 sets that were arranged as outfits.




There were dance parties at Baba every Saturday. Kazumi the manager set the theme every time, such as Halloween, Christmas, cherry blossoms, samba, fairy, evil, white, red, black, or cat, Miku-miku etc. There were also theme from uniforms, animation charactors or idle group, some of them I was not able to follow. The below is Alice’s tea party. It was joy to go shopping or to select clothing from the inventory according to the theme.






  

It is that time of year again. There seemed to be many Christmas events in places. Recently I have not been IN so often but attended some of them. Venice is holding the party on the canal as last year. Mizuki kindly invited me.




Saturday night at Baba is also Christmas. They are Hisanori brothers. It seems to glow in green when dying. Is it a STAP cell?




The party at Café Magellan was held for a full week. I switched clothing several times. The left is Miss xtugunmix, and the giant Santa Claus is Mr. Jey Solo. My clothings were seven-years old but they are timeless…

  

Visited a Halloween party at dance hall Magellan, where Halloween was the theme for whole week. I attended with a skeleton but others dressed up and I was a bit overshooting. Ryotaro the chief manager kindly danced with me without showing the least sign of reluctance.




But for some reason I was asked to wear at least a navel. There is a white dot around my belly that is a handmade navel, a torus with a prong at the center.




The hall had an atmosphere of graveyard. There were some skeletons. Someone said that it should be my former boyfriend who I casted away. The Halloween week ends today and next week will be another costume play.

The other day, one of my friends made a public rehearsal. On the previous day I was asked if I have some suitable photos for the backdrop, so I checked my inventory and go out for shooting some scenery in a rush. But by mistake I considered that the rehearsal was canceled and was not possible to attend it. This one is taken at Champs Elysees for a backdrop for cancan.




Some of them might be used but she did not remember which one was. This is one of the Paris taken with different lighting.




This one was Red Square for the music ‘Moscow Nights’. The backdrop for dance show is difficult. If it is in perspective, it looks strange according to viewers position, and if it is detailed the dance will not stand out.




This was prepared for modern couple dance, a street at New York.




This was also for modern dance, a ruined New York.




Might be good for belly dances, now-defunct Taj Mahal.




Taj Mahal at break of dawn. I thought it could be good to switch the lighting according to music change. There pictures were of no use this time. It could be possible to set several backdrops to create three dimensional effect, but I realized that my photograph mainly for landscape will not do for a stage that is a different world for me. This show was only for rehearsal and there was no real performance and the stage was moved and reconstructed, so my pictures became phantom for good or for bad.

  

There was a mermaid show by Elegante Sereia on Sunday 6. The program was almost same as the last one.




Since this was the second time, I had meant to enjoy it together with the stage installations but…




Once started, I swung my camera as usual to see the beautiful mermaid clothing.




This is from beneath. It was too bad that the music was stopped during the performance due to someone shooting a movie. I hope it could have done during rehearsal since the shooter seemed to be the organizer.




The mermaid costumes showed up with black background, although the fantastic stage set was wonderful.　Some pictures in my gallery were also replaced with these ones.

The endangered Venice SIM was saved by Yumix and the first event was held on Sunday. The beautiful festival and cityscape will be introduced at Yana’s blog with movies. The main event was a piano concert by Rulie Cisse.

The site was a special stage in the Palazzo Ducale in the St. Marcos Square, with full of water appropriate to Venice.




The springing particles were designed by Masami.
Sometimes brightly, sometimes benignly, to the music.








Rulie the pianist. Thank you for the nice music!




Spellbound audience. This was said to be a dance party but no one started dancing. Since there are someone who poped in and out (droped and returned?) this does not cover all attendants. Please scroll sideways.
