				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>&#8220;Movies inspire me.&#8221;</em> That is this year&#8217;s theme for the annual Hair Fair Photo Contest. Obviously I had to go for sci-fi, not only because it&#8217;s one of my favourite themes in general, but because crazy big sci-fi hairs in SL have always made me throw lindens at the designer in a blink of an eye.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/hf13scifi1cs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4563" alt="hf13scifi1cs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/hf13scifi1cs.png?w=500&#038;h=500" width="500" height="500" /></a>The contest ends June 28th, so there&#8217;s still time to figure out your favourite movie hairstyles and to have fun with pictures before that. Hair Fair itself begins July 13th, so there&#8217;s still a long time to wait. More details on the contest can be found <a title="Hair Fair Photo Contest" href="http://hairfair.wordpress.com/2013/06/17/hair-fair-photo-contest-reminder/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

Alice has a <a title="Alice Project - Summer Sale" href="http://blog.alice-project.net/2013/06/13/alice-project-summer-sale/" target="_blank">big summer sale</a> going on until June 27th and has just released <em>Create Your Own</em> packs, which allow you to mix-match hair colours from all her HUDs ever, but only five different copies of the hair. This is great if you normally use just few colour-combinations, but if you want to be able to change your hair colour often, the <em>Infinity</em> packs are still the way to go. Alice&#8217;s HUD system has saved my blogger-behind on countless days of &#8216;but I need this green hair in slightly darker hue and with golden highlights&#8217;, so I wanted to give kudos and praise where it&#8217;s due when speaking of upcoming Hair Fair.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>She is another archetype of female villains: the beauty with a touch of insanity in her eyes. Or more than a touch. There&#8217;s always a smile, soft words, warm, decadent tones of colour, strong perfume lingering about the scene&#8230; and the smile.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/darkrose1cs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4556" alt="darkrose1cs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/darkrose1cs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>She&#8217;s often unhinged, often obsessed about something, regularly portrayed as possessed and supernatural. She mixes girly dresses and innocent beauty styling with that glint in her eye that suggests a dagger hidden behind her back. She&#8217;s the villain who murders people, then sets them around a tea party with dolls, humming while serving cake.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/darkrose2cs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4557" alt="darkrose2cs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/darkrose2cs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>Perhaps it&#8217;s the contrast between beauty and brutality, innocence and insanity that makes the combination so popular. The childlike manners make the murders all the more creepy, but oh so very successful in captivating our imagination.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gemini &#8212; the Twins &#8212; is one of the duality signs for a good reason. Like the other such signs, it often feels like there&#8217;s two people at the price of one. Best (or worst, depending on your point of view) part is that both of them are smart, witty, communicative air signs, whose need to know and find out will keep them talking to accommodate their sharp intellect.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/gemini3bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4550" alt="gemini3bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/gemini3bs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>Gemini mind is always on the move and requires challenges. It might get distracted by another challenge before completely finishing the first task, though. Focus, especially when it requires monotonous, patient tasks is not Gemini&#8217;s strong suit. She wants to find out new things, investigate, talk about them, ask questions, let her mind dance around the refreshing influences.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/gemini2bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4549" alt="gemini2bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/gemini2bs.png?w=500&#038;h=400" width="500" height="400" /></a>Although also one of the mutable signs, Gemini tends to find balance between seeing both sides of the coin and compromising and finding a way not to give in too much. She&#8217;s great at understanding problems, situations and people: at least intellectually, when not too much emotions are involved. Like all air signs, she flitters away from the darker, deeper seas, preferring the lightness of air.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/gemini1bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4548" alt="gemini1bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/gemini1bs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>Gemini might often feel like a modern version of Jekyll and Hyde, with their proper and extremely wild sides wrapped in one person. The unpredictability shows in their looks where they prefer one thing one day, another the next, like their wardrobe was put together by several people. In a way it is, for The Twins do love to shop.</p>
<p>The skin by Essences and the <em>Gemini</em> necklace by *Perception* can be found in the current round of <a title="Zodiac" href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mint%20Tulip/137/209/22" target="_blank">Zodiac</a>. The dress by Valentina E. and the bracelets by Maxi Gossamer are available in <a title="FaMESHed" href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Fresco/224/195/1503" target="_blank">FaMESHed</a> and the purse by [HAND]verk and the furniture by Apple Fall can be won in <a title="The Arcade" href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Country%20Club/168/236/3115" target="_blank">The Arcade</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It would solve many problems. At least there are days when it feels like that, isn&#8217;t there? Perhaps that is one of the reasons why many roleplaying games feel so liberating: you can solve problems with an axe and not be thrown to jail. Or live with remorse the rest of your life. Most likely you will get a reward, possibly including half a kingdom and hand or some other body part of a royal person. Convenient!</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/biggeraxe1bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4541" alt="biggeraxe1bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/biggeraxe1bs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>It&#8217;s not a bad thing to at least get to emulate such solutions when in reality most of us have to daily just plaster a smile on our faces at people we fervently imagine getting a piece of axe-problemsolving instead. Logging into a virtual world where you can just run around, hack and slash and visibly defeat things is practically a form of therapy.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/biggeraxe3bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4542" alt="biggeraxe3bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/biggeraxe3bs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>So truly: when things begin to annoy you the next time, try a game. After a few hours of killing virtual population in inventive ways and being praised for it, the edge of frustration is surely gone. Sometimes taking a bigger axe is the right choice: as long as it&#8217;s made of pixels.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a feeling of depth in the sky when it darkens. It reaches down, covers the world, becomes a more tangible part of it. Gone is the illusion of distance, of the various shades dancing on the edges of blue covering the heights above us: during the night sky is all around us.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/feathers2bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4535" alt="feathers2bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/feathers2bs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>The night makes it all a part of the same in our mindscapes, closes all distances, brings everything within touch range. It hides the sharp lines of logic and reality from our eyes and lures out the other senses, invites imagination, becomes a sensation instead of a sight.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/feathers1bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4534" alt="feathers1bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/feathers1bs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>Enough so that if you look up to the calling depths around and above, you could almost believe that all it takes is letting go and diving upwards. For the sky is just another sea.</p>
<p>The feather hat and accompanying accessories by Zibska are available in <a title="The Gallery Gift Shop" href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Zapico/8/194/778" target="_blank">The Gallery Gift Shop</a>. The <em>Concubine</em> dress by [ SAKIDE ] can be found in <a title="Port Seraphine" href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Port%20Seraphine/128/156/504" target="_blank">World Goth Fair Port Seraphine</a>. The skin by +Nuuna+ and makeup by Beautiful Freak can be purchased from <a title="WGF Cursed" href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cursed/73/127/1003" target="_blank">World Goth Fair Cursed</a>. Speaking of World Goth Fair, it will close 12 hours later than originally intended since it opened 12 hours late: you have time to goth-shop until noon SLT on June 1.</p>

This means that <a title="Gothika in WGF" href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cursed/107/123/1006" target="_blank">Club Gothika in World Goth Fair</a> will be having a party of fourteen hours. Yes, fourteen. Seven DJs, seven different gothic themes, <a title="World Goth Day Prizes" href="http://worldgothfair.wordpress.com/world-goth-day-events-at-club-gothika/" target="_blank">ridiculous amount of prizes</a> with the winner takes it all principle and all around gothic entertainment.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/wgdvampire1bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4516" alt="wgdvampire1bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/wgdvampire1bs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>I&#8217;ll be hosting the <em>Best in Vampire</em> party at 2-4pm SLT for DJ Acerose Razor and decided I liked my hostess look so much that I&#8217;d blog it. The ruins behind me are where the party will occur, right in the middle of the <a title="Gothika in WGF" href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cursed/107/123/1006" target="_blank">WGF Cursed</a>. The first shift starts at 10am SLT and the party eventually stops fourteen hours later at midnight SLT. You can see the DJ and theme schedule <a title="Theme Schedule" href="http://worldgothfair.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/snapshot_033b.jpg" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Now what are you waiting for? Get your goth on and join us in <a title="Gothika in WGF" href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cursed/107/123/1006" target="_blank">Gothika</a>!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who knows where the evolution will take us? Who knows where it might have taken other civilizations elsewhere, merging and combining with their surroundings instead of taking control over them with tools.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/alienplant1bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4505" alt="alienplant1bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/alienplant1bs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>Perhaps there can be a symbiosis between humanoid life and flora, if nowhere else than in our imaginations. Sinking in limb-like roots that allow moving about, skin absorbing alien lights, humanoid hands kept for their usefulness, hearing becoming less vital when the senses are attuned to pollen and pheromones&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/alienplant2bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4506" alt="alienplant2bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/alienplant2bs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>I have always enjoyed such moments of trying to envision how life would look like through the eyes of something so alien that their priorities and needs in life differ completely from human. It gives perspective.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;color:#444444;line-height:1.7;">Almost all of the alien plant can be acquired from the new round of </span><a style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.7;" title="Genre" href="http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Liberty/56/21/3197" target="_blank">Genre</a><span style="font-size:14px;color:#444444;line-height:1.7;"> that focuses on scifi. The skin by Jalwa is not actually green, I just played with windlights. The tentacle outfit by The Stringer Mausoleum went perfectly together with the mask and ear pieces by Spyralle, hair is by Analog Dog and the <em>Biologic Evolution</em> body tattoo by Fallen Gods Inc. completes the look.</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They come in many sizes and shapes. Sometimes even without any visible ears or tail. They have white skin (or fur), gothic coloured hair and clothes and a penchant to clap their hands at vampires, instead of running away like more sensible rabbits would.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/gothbunnies1bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4491" alt="gothbunnies1bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/gothbunnies1bs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>Who&#8217;s to say that bunnies cannot have tiny fangs as well? Or at least a preference for colours that are not pastels? Maybe there&#8217;s a secret bunny underground, opposing the damnable association to pink? Begone already, abomination unto the gods of colour!</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/gothbunnies2bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4489" alt="gothbunnies2bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/gothbunnies2bs.png?w=500&#038;h=400" width="500" height="400" /></a>One must remember though that no matter what colours a bunny wears or style she prefers, they cannot escape their true nature. You can cover them in black and blood-red, give them bad-ass weapons and observe them trying to fang-hiss while wiggling their noses, it&#8217;s no use: the cute is always there.</p>
<p><a href="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/gothbunnies3bs.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4490" alt="gothbunnies3bs" src="http://astalianda.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/gothbunnies3bs.png?w=500&#038;h=750" width="500" height="750" /></a>You cannot blame them, though. There are two defences a bunny can have: run fast or be too cute to kill. Have you ever tried to run in high heels or a gala dress? Did not think so.</p>

They are all in our heads, in our own limitations and comfort zones. Leaving them, daring the edges will get you easily cut. But perhaps you win more room to move in by learning exactly where the edge is. Perhaps the edges move in time and should be revisited.</p>
