Darius Kragin - "Femme" (woman)

With mothers day coming up next month it made me think of women, as a gay male what are they to me ? Well the answer was clear and simple Mothers, Sisters, Friends, Nurturers and Protectors. The female form has always held a fascination to all genders in its beauty and softness.

Here is my ode to those marvelous creations we call Mother, Sister, Friend, Wife, Lovers, Daughters, their bodies hold our very creation.

Beauty, of a Naked Woman, celebrating the form and contours of Women Beautiful, in all her Naked Glory -

"Naked, Beautiful, Supple, Succulent, and Soft,
In your Naked Silhouette, I could get lost.
What a Lovely Vision, it is, to see.
You Rouse, such Fervor, such Passion, within me,
Every Contour, a Delight, to my eyes.
The thought of your Nakedness, alone, makes my nature rise.
Nubile Beauty, like a Nymph, rising, from the sea,
Your Body's Siren Song, so, Seduces me.
Each and every inch of it, leaves me, in Rhapsody.
You're a Statue, of Perfection, Contoured Symmetry.
Your Nakedness, Beautiful, Defines, Femininity"

- Robert Gardiner

Skip Staheli - "perfect Imperfection"

Series dedicated to all really beautiful big women of SecondLife and RL

I think there is beauty in everyone and in every shape...  My sister struggled all her life with fighting the pounds and had a difficult relationship with the scales ánd mirror. I saw how much pain she had with feeling not confident in her body.
I myself never made a secret of the fact I truly adore curves. And making this BBW series was something I wanted to do for long long time.. so here it is. I wanted to share how a full figured curvy woman looks in my eyes, how I view the softness of a real women's body...  I hope you Enjoy it as much as I do!

Lincoln Garnet - "Apocalypse Now"

What if the world ended, but you were still here?  Would you search out the last man or woman on earth?  How about the last man AND woman on earth?  Come take an erotic trip to the Day After, where out of the rubble rises a decidedly naked norm,  and where Adam & Eve is now Adam & Eve & Eva .

Molly Bloom - "Molly's Impala"

It was the sexiest of times.  She had fun, fun, fun until Molly's Daddy took her Impala away......

LUMIPro Spotlight

This LUMIPro Spotlight brought to you by Eli Wallace of Gallery Assis.

Skip Staheli - I adore Skips work, he is a master painter in edit. also one of the Assis Aeternum. For me, Skip captures emotion, he feels the image and never disappoints. This image is a preview of his current exhibit at Assis "No Air" - his love of creating shines through in every piece he does without fail, you can see the hours and hours of edit he puts in - would love to be a fly on the wall to see him at work in PS.

Darius - Assis Aeternum . Dar is my right hand man at Assis and invaluable. I have watched his work develop which sometimes leaves my jaw on the ground. His attention to the tiniest detail sets him apart, always a pleasure to shoot with him. This shot was for the opening of Alecat Breda's exhibit Cirque du Freak - a charity event held at Assis for Childline.

Lincoln Garnet - Assis Aeternum. LInc is a big advocate for Lumipro. When you look at his work - you can tell - Yea! thats a Lincoln Garnet. This image is one of the 3 images in his angel set.

Unified Heart 2013 @ Palais Orleans Gallery

After the phenomenal success of Unified Heart last January, we see this fabulous gallery show  back for a second round, and just as phenomenal  as the last.

For those who may not know  Leonard Norman Cohen, CC GOQ is a Canadian singer-songwriter, musician, poet, and novelist. His work often explores religion, isolation, sexuality, and interpersonal relationships.

Some of the best and quite possibly some of your favorite singers have covered Cohen through the years. 


It’s almost unbelievable now to think that we almost never heard Leonard Cohen, the singer. A well-regarded poet from the late 1950s through the mid-’60s, it was Judy Collins who encouraged the middle-aged Canadian writer to try his hand at performing his own songs, and the rest is history. She also had a successful cover of Cohen’s “Suzanne”. (from this article: 30 Great Covers of Leonard Cohen. )

My personal favorite  song from Mr. Cohen aside from Hallelujah is Dance Me To The End Of Love .

Morgana Nagorski, owner of Palais Orleans Gallery, works very hard to bring the best of the best of Second Life art and artists to us. She is also an artist herself and her work graces the pages of The Best of SL Magazine. Morgana says she "
has been a Leonard Cohen fan since her epiphany in 1974, when she woke in the middle of night to the strains of “That’s No Way To Say Goodbye” playing on the radio she had left on when she fell asleep."

With this gallery showcase of Cohen's work she received some good press and press from out of Second Life as well. You can read that article HERE. 

21 of Second Life's best artists worked hard to bring their eye to Cohen's musical art , that have touched the lives of so many over the years.

FROM THE DESK OF STEFAN BUSCAYLET:

Creator of LUMIPro in Second Life

Palais Orleans Gallery Complex has held a special place in my heart as the birth of LUMIPro was through the collaborative works between me and the first curator of the gallery.  Although times have changed, my love of this gallery remains.  Their most recent showing of Unified Heart 2013 represents the works of Leonard Cohen.  A staggering 21 super stars of the art world were represented and I’m happy to report all of the artists are LUMIPro users and most used LUMIPro in this showing.  The buzz created by the show covered every major "who's who" in the SL world and was picked up by major syndication feeds.  And to top things off Morgana received press outside of SL!!   I'm stellar proud of the gallery's accomplishment and especially to Morgana personally who continues to be both a personal friend and supporter of arts and LUMIPro.  If you have not seen the gallery, I encourage you to make it there.  It’s something special.
