WOMEN RULE MAN'S WORLD by Maloe Vansant

am not a woman of many words , so i keep it very short ,let the image speak for itself, and yes we women rule most men's world, Mister Brown eat your heart out,we let you men think its a man's world and wind you around our little fingers with all we have , body and mind .

a little piece from the poem  'Imagine a woman' by Patricia Lynn Reilly





Imagine a woman
in love with her own body.
A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.
Who celebrates her body and its rhythms and cycles as an exquisite resource.

Imagine a woman
who honors the face of the Goddess in her changing face.
A woman who celebrates the accumulation of her years and her wisdom.
Who refuses to use her precious life energy disguising the changes in her body and life

ONE MAN GUY - by Benjamin Glendale

Benjamin Glendale is delighted to have been invited to display a selection of his work at Gallery Assis.

A long time resident of Second Life, Benjamin is rediscovering exploration in SL and taking snaps of his adventures, primarily for his own enjoyment but also to be shared with others. Ben doesn't confine himself to one form of image over another, he takes photographs of people and/or places, landscapes or buildings, as inspired by his surroundings and the events taking place.

Additionally, as a gay man, some of Ben's pictures are taken at the beautiful and imaginative places created for and by other LGBT people. One of his objectives is to give these places a platform to be seen by other SL residents, because of the hard work and wonderful results achieved by their creators.

The collection at Gallery Assis is entitled "One Man Guy". It is inspired by the song written by Loudon Wainwright III of the same title, exploring the ramifications of "being your own one and only". The images are:

Unplug
Solo
Whistle
Three cubic feet
Through and through
Selfish trick

CONNECTED by Sydney Bonde-Garnet

There is a Chinese myth that says we all have an invisible red string attached to our ankles that connect us through destiny.  It can be stretched and tangled but never broken.  This red string transcends time, places and people.  It is the belief that we are all connected and when it is time for us to meet, we will.  This series is dedicated to those whose red string has brought them together, to share in each others life, to commit and embrace their destiny.
