‘MMIF 2010′ is the second edition of an annual film festival in 3D cyberspace with a screening in physical space (‘RL’). A seven hour movie marathon with a two hour afterparty.

“The MMIF is a celebration of ‘Machinima’: a new cinematic art form, created with virtual worlds and video games. On 3D Internet platforms like Second Life®, any kind of movie sets can be build for very low costs. The MMIF aims to bring machinima to a wider audience, online – and offline.

Machinima artists from all over the world are present in real time at the virtual MMIF Theatre. They present over 50 short films and have talks with other machinimatographers and an international audience.” – mmif.org

If you are in-world, why not pop over to the event and experience the best in machinima. The event kicks off at 11am SLT and will be showcasing the works of great artists like Chantal Harvey, Bryn Oh, Lainy Voom, Hadji Ling, Colemarie Soleil, Iono Allen, and many many great artists….

Why the new skin? Well, I met this guy on Saturday night whilst I was installing my artwork over at the gallery in the Brighton City sim. Really nice guy with the hottest butt this side of SecondLIfe (as far as ‘puppet’ butts are concern.. hee hee hee). We spent the next few days exploring SecondLife and getting to know each other. So I thought to myself “hmmmmm… I’ll go human and make myself a set of new skins with a hot butt to match.”

I wanted to go all butch about it – Skin, clothes, anims….. I just ended up looking rather camp!!! Hahhahahha!!! I kinda like it though

So, what’s with the cruising? Well, in the search for clothes and shopping for shoes, I saw this sign for Hub’s Garage. The images on the sign looks cool… Sort of set in a dockyard kinda thing. Looks like a great build and wonderful textures. Without reading what it’s all about, I clicked on it and tp’d myself away.

WOAH!!! When I got there, the place was full of men!!! BUTCH MEN!!! I said to myself “I can do this.. I’ll just sashay my sexy little ‘puppet’ tush over to the boys and say hello!!”

I guess the boys weren’t exactly interested in conversation (I soon discovered that Cargo City is one BIG cruising grounds for gay sex!!!). I never really understood the thrill of sex in a virtual world of SecondLIfe – pressing buttons on your keyboard to make your avie go “oooooo.. ahhhhh” isn’t exactly my idea of sex. And since one’s avie is not anatomically correct, one has to go purchase a penis!! AS AN ATTACHMENT!!! hahhhahhahah. (btw, I do not own a penis. So, if you want to buy me one, I’ll be willing to give it a go… hee heeh ehee).

Here are a few snaps from my explorations… Enjoy!!! (Please be aware that the images contain scenes of a sexual nature.)

Saturday was Hollywood Babylon Gala over at the PRIDE sim. It was a charity event to raise funds for the SL Pride event later in the year. Anyway, earlier in the week, my dear friend and partner-in-grime iTony and I was chatting away .. you know, usual stuff like “Guess what? I just saw an avie with the biggest feet in SL” – that sort of things HAHHAHHAHAHAH. (btw, itony did the movie showing at the gala – hundreds and hundreds of hours putting together footages into a FAB movie!!! A MUST SEE OSCAR WINNNING movie clip!!! Was that a bit much? But seriously, you guys must go see it.. way cool!!!)

So, where was I? Ahh yes, PRIDE. Hollywood….. Well… to cut the story short, we became The Starlet Slut Twin. ROFL…… WonderTwins Power ACTIVATE!!!

Here are some snaps for your delight (click on the thumbnails to view LARGE!!!). I’m off getting ready for tonight’s “attack” of The Starlet Slut Twin. We’re heading over to the Brighton Bad Boys Party at 2pm SLT and then over to my dear friends Josh & Stan’s anniversary party in Hiaka. Tooodaloooo peeps!!

You know all those lovely artwork you have in-world? And you go: “Hmmmmm, I wish I have some lovely wooden picture frames to go with that”.

Well… Now you do! The textures all have transparencies in them. So you can use it in-world as it is. Or open them up in your paint program like photoshop or gimp, and layer your own artwork before uploading it in-world

Have fun and enjoy. To view the textures large, just click on the thumbnails.

Just right-click (or ctrl-click if you are on a mac) on the link below and choose “save link as” to download the textures, :

“This film is a little bit of an experiment – what would happen if I gave myself 1 week to film, $50 and made the very first thing that popped into my head, no matter how ridiculous the idea, trying to go with the flow, being productive rather than procrastinating, and not over thinking anything (having previously felt constrained through creating a poem in a very strict style, and this was a way of trying to shake that off).

The result is difficult to explain, it loosely represents how humans are tied to the mechanics of time, we can relive the past through memories, or imagine the future, but our physical bodies cannot stop being a part of time, evolutionary time etc, but nothing too serious!” – tracechops

Most often than not, these notices are spam… .advertising other stuff (usually crap!!!) and their sims in the guise of art and its promotion to attract visitors and increase traffic . Blurried eyed and exhuasted from the lack of sleep and tidying (or rather trying to tidy) my extremely messy and overloaded inventory, my annoying pop-up notices showed it’s “ugly” self…

Two notices that appeared almost simultaneously – “Cat Boccaccio has a fresh new erotic exhibit, opening at Salon de Re’age” and “StarZ Art Corner Sexy Man Contest~ The voting has begun!!”.

HHAHHAHHAHa as I ROFL and LMAO and BMBWFOCL (that’s Bruised My Butt Whilst Falling Off Chair Laughing – Just made that one up.. pretty cool huh?).

Surely, what has this got to do with art? Anyway, I decided to go check it out!! What have I got to lose? It’s not like I’m doing anything of vital importance at the moment, say like World Peace or even World Domination for that fact!! Hee hee.

First stop – Destination: Salon de Re’age for Cat Boccaccio’s Erotica. I took the limou and tp’d myself over to Salon de Re’age over at Roiss2.

(Click images to view fullsize).

“Cat’s challenge as a Second Life photographer is to show the human side of the female avatar: beautiful, natural and sensuous, as they relate to the SL enviromnent. Her photographs invite the viewer to share intimate moments; to find the story behind the picture.” – from Cat Boccaccio’s notecard

I arrived in a gallery full of people with name tags like Lord this and lord that and Ms Something-or-rather, and upon rezzing, realised that most of the guests are “chained and owned” by their master and mistresses…. Hmmmmmmm.. not really my cup of tea. So, after having said my greetings to Cat, I went on my way to explore and view her exhibition.

I looked around but didn’t really stay long as virtual titties and naked women are not exactly my scene. To give credits where they are due, there are some lovely works with great composition and use of colours and light.

Next stop – Destination: StarZ Art Corner Sexy Man Contest. Back to the limou and tp’d myself over to Draconis for some sexy men action.

StarZ Art Corner Sexy Man Contest~ The voting has begun!! ~and WOW! There are 22 truly awesome, sexy man Photos here! Voting is from today..Jan 3rd…til Sunday Jan. 10th! So, take the Limo that is below here….(take it & save it for later or come now!)–Pick up your friends along the way…& come stroll around StarZ Art Corner! VOTE for the Sexiest one! See the beauty that is all around us every day! Our Sexy SL Men!! Yaaay!! - from StarZ posted notice

I don’t really know what to say… When I got there, the place was very laggy and it took a long time for me to rez. And when it does – well, lets just say I wasn’t too impressed with what I saw.

However, there was one shot taken by Silene Christen of a naked back shot of a man covered in tattoos which caught my eye. It was a gem – Beautifully shot and the composition was perfect!!! The shot was entitled “Apollo Lacombe” and I think its the best piece in the exhibition. Truly artistic.

So, is this art? I’ll let you be the judge of it.

“i called it spark not only because of how the image looks, eg reminiscent of bushfires too…they only take a spark…but was thinking about beginnings…given new year celebrations pics. So spark of an idea etc….spark is start of big things ” - Sistagrlro Wei

The “sparks” were so enchantingly hypnotic that I can’t help but feel like jumping into the art work!!! And of course i did !!! LOL.

If you get a chance, see it in-world at The Commons Gallery at Park Galleries of Art – Park (209, 43, 78). It’s a definite must-see.

Some time ago, some friends of friends of elven cousins thrice removed married to some mers asked me for some help with textures. They wanted sand texture for use for the Elven Pride Festival they are organizing.
