Maihime
Appreciated the December performance of Milky Maihime, Million Dream Florals Dance Show. I got an approval whenever taking pictures at show, but once I was refused by a dance group. So I realized that someone would not like to be taken pictures and became reluctant to shoot a show. This time I jumped on the approval and took many pictures including the backstage.

There were two parts of this show this time, Japanese and Western style section. There was also Christmas mood. A cute children avatar is new to me in the Milky Maihime Show.

After all, the highlight was the line-dance. Although I know that the dancing is automatically done by the dance balls, but thinking about the hearts of peoples behind the avatars that were dancing fully synchronized, I was moved to tears. The stage installations were also wonderful. Thank Milky for superb show all the time!

There are about twenty pictures exhibited at Temi’s Gallery. In case anyone would like to have a copy, please contact me. This time the resolution is not so high though… This exhibition is the 30th at my gallery. The first one was also for Maihime at Holland. Thank you for letting me shoot pictures all the time.

Chinese Square
At the snowy SIM last time, I ran into a Chinese guy, so I searched Chinese SIMs for a change. This SIM is called China but could be a future one that seems like a world of Blade Runner. The height of the cluster of buildings to the bottom that looking far below is about 500m, and including the underground, more than 700m.
China; http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hangars%20Liquides/141/138/2227

The concept seems to be similar as the futuristic city, but this has completely different atmosphere. There is little repetitive structure and are full of variety. If you like to walk around when you enter a new city in RPG, this is the one for you.

The black lady on the left is Djehan Kidd, the creator of this SIM. These SIMs have started in 2007 as a Chinese community, and she made this last year. She said that she was very impressed by China the size of their cities, and mainly inspired by Chung King mansions (a building located at Nathan Road in Kowloon, Hong Kong) to do this.

There are many teleporters located in this town made of five SIMs. You can also call taxi at the call machine that provides an air car like the spinner.

The air car flies slowly so it is possible to have a good view of the city from above. But the air car movement is not easy to foresee, so I repeated the same route several times to take pictures.

There are lounges, buffets and bars in the town. It is joy to walk around to see many spots like strolling in the Kowloon SIM. Although there is few shop, but it is interesting since it is wide and with wide variation. There is also an AI that can make conversation with you.

There is a kind of ruin at the edge of the town. I visited there only twice and there may be many spots that I have not seen. This is made in the sky and there is the original China (a boat and beach) at the sea level.

Makeup 2
The theme of the weekly dance party at Baba was Christmas. But there were a few attendants and only girls at the last. So I was shooting myself while dancing. The theme for the dance will be still Christmas. Please join!

This is the skin that I started last week. I took pictures from different angles. I though this make up is a bit harsh but I was acclimated to it soon. The differences in these pictures are only eye movement and camera angle, but there are some expressions. The shape was made myself at the beginning. I like this one but after looking at many overseas beauties, my mouth looks too small. I wish it could be considered exotic…

There is a face-HUD that provides several expressions that I introduced before using Na’vi. With my face, all faces are too strange to use actually. Please note that these are not made for Na’vi but for human.

Snowscape
Visited the park that was at the end of fall when I was last time. Now it was all covered with snow. I can remember the terrine and bridge, but the scenery was changed completely.
Park: http://slurl.com/secondlife/South%20Farthing/227/214/26

Cozy shops that were amid of autumn leaf last time. The brook is frozen and a hose carriage can go on it. This carriage is prepared for free ride. There are other rides such as a balloon that was introduced last time and pair skating tour.

On foot in the snow. The depth of the snow well depicts a real snowscape. I forgot to remove face lights and it looked as if I was carrying a lantern. Snow also lies thick on the ground at Baba Meeting Area.

Makeup
The man who I went together at the first time said, “Shape change is equivalent to vanity surgeries. You should not often change the shape that you selected once.” So I have been using the same shape that I made myself for five years (there were some minor change though). I think makeup (skin) is free to change, and tried more than five hundreds demos, but it was hard to find suitable one for my shape. The left is that I have used since the beginning. The raccoon type eye shadow is a bit humorous. The right is for a pretentious cutie started one year ago.

The left is for somewhat serious situation, and the right is for suntan bikini or exotic clothing. It seems that nobody has cared my makeup at all, or looked at my face…

Recently I had a change of mind and switched to a bit harsh makeup. All but the first two skins are free. Skin change does have more effect than small cosmetic surgery. But it is impossible to do this kind of strong eye line in RL.
