So I am coming up with other ways of doing photos. Some come out good, others not so great. Learning process =) I am struggling to get what is in my "in bin" to my "out bin" in blogging sense. I hope you enjoy.

BTB QUOTE:
Virginia was clad in garments cut from the beautiful, many colored robes of concealment of the free woman. But, proud of her beauty and glorious in her joy, she had boldly shortened the garments almost to the length of slave livery, and a light, diaphanous orange veil loosely held her hair and lay about her throat. She wore the robes of concealment in such a way as not to conceal but enhance her great loveliness. She had discovered herself and her beauty on this harsh world, and was as proud of her body as the most brazen of slave girls, and would not permit its being shut away from the wind and the sunlight. The garments suggested the slave girl and yet insisted, almost demurely, on the reserve, the pride and dignity of the free woman. The combination was devastating, tormentingly attractive, an achievement so tantalizing and astoundingly exciting that I would not be surprised if it were adopted throughout Ar by the city's free women, rebellious, proud of their bodies, at last determined to throw off centuries of restriction, of confinement and sequestration, at last determined to stand forth as individuals, female individuals, sensuous as slave girls but yet rich in their own persons, intelligent, bold, beautiful, free. I mused to myself that slave raids on Ar might grow more frequent.

The ancestors of some of them might have been Chaldeans or Celts or Syrians or Englishmen brought to this world over a period of centuries from different civilizations. But the children, of course, and their children eventually became simply Gorean. In the long ages on Gor almost all traces of Earth origin had vanished. Occasionally, however, an English Word in Gorean, like "ax" or "ship," would delight me. Certain other expressions seemed clearly to be of Greek or German origin.

So, I have been busy doing absolutely nothing. Really. Lazy. No, but seriously I have been working on my shapes, and a special thank you to Poppy for helping me on an issue. ;) Thanks doll.

So, a lot involved in the world of Bourbon. I am currently working on some dancers as well. But, let us move to fashion. I know not many creators make maternity gowns, and this took me a very long time to find something amazing to do. And this is what I came up with. Enjoy =)

Okay, I am not sure who might read this, but I did manage to put a new shape together with the Wowmeh body and the slink hands and feet, instead of Wowmeh hands and feet. Yes, there are some issues around the connection areas, wrists and ankles. Now, according to the Wowmeh note card you can fix the changes via playing with the shape, (torso muscles) etc. So I got as close as I possibly could. Also, Slink will be producing its own mesh body coming out some time soon. Stay posted!

Issues with Mesh Bodies. So far as with the Wowmeh, the alphas to things like, slink hands, feet, body, sometimes hair, accessories like sleeves, seem to be a bit of an issue. You can only wear so many. Even collars with alphas, something has got to go. Otherwise, it is pretty and curvy, the Wowmeh body. I am hoping this liquid/fitted mesh comes out soon to see how well it will do. =P

Enjoy the recent release of Soedara's Siv!

I just have to say, Soedara makes me a follower of the Pani people of Gor. This clever little get up is great, even for the slaves not of the Pani. Clever, sassy, and so show off. This little outfit will be sure to capture the eyes of many.

Rebelliousness of Her

BTB QUOTE:

To be sure, many of the dances of female slaves are lovely and sensuous; others, of course, are piteous and orgasmic. In all fairness, though, one must note that there is a large variety of slave dances on Gor, and that there is some variation from city to city. The institution of female slavery on Gor is doubtless thousands of years old; accordingly it is natural that there should be great complexity and refinement in such a delicious art form as slave dance. There are even, it might be mentioned, hate dances and rebellion dances, but most dances, as might be expected, are display dances, or need dances, or love and submission dances; even the hate and rebellion dances, of course, conclude, inevitably, with the ultimate surrender of the girl to her master as a love slave.

I must say, The World Goth Fair is now open and on! I would like all who might read this to know what the hell its about first. The World Goth Fair has proceeds of some of the items going to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation. I will give the Web Page of this wonderful foundation in a moment. The foundation helps spread awareness for the subcultures around the world. Because of the gothic subculture, Sophie was murdered brutally. Misunderstanding. Help spread awareness by visiting this Fair. Thank you <3
