Cirque du MetaBody

(click to enlarge)

Being a male ballet dancer in mother Russia is highly prestigious, but I dreamed of something more. In my case, I literally did run away and join the circus, -- the Cirque du Soleil to be exact. Yes, I am still throwing people up in the air and catching them. That's what I was hired to do. But I don't have as much pointe work now (that's brutal on a foot!), and I love all the imaginative costumes and music. I hope my parents will someday forgive me and come see me perform. I think they will like what they see.

MetaBody has a collection of avant garde avatars you can download for free, modify how you like, add your own elements, and submit your creation for the next installment. This was a lot fun to do and many good pieces I can use in the future too! Your original creations must be submitted by November 30th. Head to MetaBody for more details.

This photo series was inspired by the new Tableau Vivant Perla Sweater for men and Low Rise Sporty Pants. They reminded me immediately of type of clothing you would see in a dance rehearsal. So enter the Russian dancer! The sweater and pants work great together, but remove the top and you have very sexy low rise pant that is barely hanging on. They are so low my modesty gene kicked in! lol I worked hard on a shape to go with the awesome new Tableau Vivant Marilyn Skin. With the pale brow on Tone 3, I could create a nice color theme. If Mr. Russian Dancer looks vaguely like someone famous, that was an accident, but since it looked good, I just went with it! lol

UPDATE: Pixel Ballet performs "The Nut" (their version of The Nutcracker) starting December 2nd. Shows are Sunday 5pm SL, and Wednesday 2pm SL. Come Early! Seats fill up fast!

News Event: RMK Gothic Halloween 2

(click to enlarge)

Elegance in All Hallow's Eve with a lovely dress that comes with a broom, pose tree, and pumpkin cart from World's End Garden as part of the RMK Halloween storyteller quest. For the men, the Prince of Phantom in purple. This suit can be worn in a variety of ways. It comes with long pant, and knickers, jacket or vest. Topped off with a cool new monocle from Air. I feel like a Land Baron in this outfit. When ten percent of the grid suddenly went poof this week, that was me, Prankster Land Baron Dev, pulling a little trick or treat on you. *winks*
