Clover Over?

Today is the last day of our visit with the amazing Clover, I hope you have enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed taking them!

AND I hope we can get Clover to pose again for us soon!

Lupine and Pine

Where I'm from lupine is a common, and beautiful, sight along the roads and fields. It's a long spiked flower, and when I arrived at my friend Clover's house and saw these plants I felt right at home.

So yeah, Clover shows us once again that she's amazing at putting together an amazing avatar, and now ups the game by showing she knows her way around making a beautiful piece of land as well!

Red Rover Red Rover Send Clover Right Over

I have no idea what the title means, but it's fun to say, and even more fun if my gorgeous friend Clover does come over because she's smart and funny and as you can see, has great taste in clothes and hair. AND this was taken at her place, which was fantastic- she provided the modeling, the locale and all the poses.

Yes, right, did I mention she's awesome to work with? I hope you enjoy day two of my friend Clover!

Lucky Clover

I'd like to introduce my friend Clover, who was very patient and kind while we played schedule tag trying to arrange this photo shoot.I think you'll agree she's worth the wait, eh?

On top of the obvious beauty and aforementioned patience, I'm lucky to know Clover because she's a smart, funny and generally awesome person. Laid-back and cool, she's a great person and, as the blog name promises, a beautiful avatar.

I hope you all enjoy the next few days of pics of Clover!

Beach Fun!

This is the last of my shoot with Cheryl, I want to thank her for being so awesome and hope that she will come back and pose for us again, she's truly an amazing person- smart, funny and of course beautiful, AND a true fashionista with some wonderful outfits!

I love this old-school Callie Cline swimsuit, too awesome for words!

Because She Might Burn

I love accessories like sunhats and sunglasses in Second Life. They exist in the real world for a reason- and in Second Life because we love them. Cheryl's beautiful skin won't burn in the pixel sun because she has this awesome sun hat to keep the rays at bay.

Cheryl explained that this wonderful vintage Callie Cline swimsuit (with sunhat!) is more her speed than the Orange Blossom Special she wore yesterday. I think she looks amazing, what about you?

Down to the Ocean

Another true story:

Cheryl is NOT the type of person to wear itty bitty anythings, in real life or in Second Life, (at least not in public, she said with a wink), so when she told one of her friends she was modeling for me, the friend, who to my great surprise actually knew my work with the Herald, assumed poor Cheryl would be posing in her birthday suit and nearly had a heart attack at the surprise of her modest friend posing for cheesecake.

Well, dear readers, as we know, this blog is not like that, but Cheryl wanted to have fun with it anyhow and bought the swimsuit you see here for a special one-time only post in "almost [her] birthday suit" as she called it. She adds that these pictures are dedicated to her friend, Shelly.

I think they're fantastic, how about you?

They Went Thataway

One more pair of pictures of the beautiful Cheryl in her "kickaround clothes." This was well before the party started next door, so no, she's not pointing the way to the rather adult party that formed at the house next door during our shoot.

New Look Old Place

We're still back at the house with the interesting neighbors, and this is the outfit Cheryl was wearing actually before the black dress, she let me get a few pictures of it, which I wanted to do because I thought it was really chic and, if it were in the real world, comfortable- exactly what I imagine a hip, beautiful model like Cheryl would wear to a shoot.

What do you think, not bad for what she called her "kick-around" clothes, amiright?

Well THAT was interesting

This really happened.

When we were looking around for places to shoot Cheryl's pictures, she explained that she had a little black dress she wanted to wear and that she was thinking maybe like a neighborhood, she could be June Cleaver or something.

We found a great neighborhood, beautiful house, didn't pay much attention to the fact there were green dots on the map in the house next door. Then more green dots. I was shooting away, the pictures you've been enjoying for the past couple days, Cheryl says "oh my!"

Yeah, orgy at the neighbor's house. Yes, of course we finished the photoshoot!

Sittin' on the Front Porch

One of the things I'm sure you're all used to in Second Life, especially if you're incredibly attractive like my friend Cheryl here, is getting hit on all the time. Said she, "I just want to find a nice guy, or nice girl, settle down and play family, you know?"

While Beautiful Avatars is not a dating blog, I'll bet we can help. Anyone here nice and looking for a smart, funny and beautiful woman to settle down with?

Meet Cheryl

This is my new friend and new-to-modeling model Cheryl. I think she's fabulous, and to hear her tell it, she has enough clothes in her wardrobe to keep us entertained for the next several years.

I thought her take on the "little black dress" was amazing, what do you think?

Beauty is Everywhere

Justine's idea for her third outfit change of our afternoon together was brilliant and I support it 100%. She and I were both Post 6 Photographers and tried to feature as many body types as possible, but, as she pointed out, the models in this blog so far have been my friends and a couple former models- to this point all the models we have featured have been slim and model-esque, so...

Justine's idea was to pose in an avatar that would help expand my blog's definition of Beautiful Avatar as it should to include beautiful women of all body shapes and sizes. Here we have then, the beautiful Justine:

Beach Closed

I could post pictures of Justine all month, she's amazing, especially in a bikini :-)

We did do a third outfit and location change though, and while I know many of you readers are with me that Justine (in her "busty avatar with the nice butt," as she called it) is worthy of many more posts, tomorrow I'll show some from the third shoot, which was a lot of fun. 

Amazing avatar, right?

Tigress on the Beach

Justine rocked the leopard-skin bikini for our shoot, and she joked that I should call this post Cougar On the Beach. Subsequent conversation assured me she's not yet reached the cougar age group, so I up her one with Tigress.

Isn't she amazing? Remember that just moments before shooting at this location, she looked a lot like a 1960s version of Amy Winehouse.

 

Life's a Beach

As I said in yesterday's post, Justine is fun to work with because she says a lot of funny things, and some of them end up in this blog. For instance, allowing me to Photoshop anything is funny, which was yesterday's adventure.

 Today, the quote in question is "Be sure to get my butt, I love my butt in this avie." We had teleported from the Chelsea to a beach where she completely avatars, as you see. See? I told you Justine is fun to hang out with.

So, I'll shut up because I know you're already looking at the pictures, here's my wonderful friend Justine at the beach, (and her butt).

Something with Photoshop

Justine is fun to work with because she says things like "Do something to this with Photoshop" (hence the title of this post). Cliffhanger ending- I'll share another funny thing she said tomorrow- I think you'll appreciate it way more than this one!

So, here's my amazing friend Justine untouched and one where I've done my best to make it terrible with Photoshop. It's hard to make Justine look bad, I had to work at it. I was hoping for an old-school 1960s comic book feel. Let me know in the comments if I got even close.

And it's not appropriate here except as regards my Photoshop skillz because Justine has a gorgeous avie and of course the vintage style is too cool, but a Leonard Cohen line from Chelsea Hotel #2 seems appropriate given the music talk the last couple of posts:

"Well never mind, we are ugly but we have the music."

So here she is again, Justine as Amy at the Hotel Chelsea in Second Life
