Tips for a good Picture –Anna Avalanche

Continuing the last article I would like to give some tips that might help photographers in SL.

I am planning to make a picture contest every week, so this tips and clues will help you when the time comes. So take your “camera” and practice with this tips. When I made the challenge you will be a professional. If you are already a professional photographer and would like to give us other tips please write a comment.

First you need to enable the ADVANCED menu: type Ctrl + Alt + D and a new menu with more options will open.

Go to ADVANCED and enable High-res Snapshot. This is one of the tricks for a good quality picture.



Now Disable Camera Constrains if you want more detail picture, specially for landscape. This will permit bigger zoom.



For big resolution picture adjust EDIT > PREFERENCE > GRAPHICS to the maximum, ULTRA. Take care, this can make you computer slow if you don’t have a good graphics card.



If you want to adjust the sky and water edit your preference at WORLD > ENVIRONMENTAL SETTINGS > ENVIRONMENTAL EDITOR.



To make a personalize edition for the sky and water you will need to open the ADVANCED SKY or ADVANCED WATER window. Just like the illustration below. You can save your configuration if you wish.



After this go to FILE menu and choose TAKE SNAPSHOT. This will open a new window.



This new window will give you picture size, color, and save on disk option. It is always good to remember that bigger pictures will create a bigger file.



The last clue is to enable VIEW > CAMARA CONTROL. A small windows will open. This window permits you to change zoom and the camera angle easier.



Ok, now you are ready. Don’t forget to use good poses and take care where the eyes are focusing.

Have a good shoot!!!!!!

Poem: Strapasson Kidd

Translation and adaptation: Anna Avalanche, Liane Maertens, and Sennaspirit Coronet

Edition for the Déjà vu Magazine: Dodd Roff

Photography: Sennaspirit Coronet

Models: Anna Avalanche, Sennaspirit Coronet



We meet at our secret garden...
Always at the same place...

Is our place...

You are beautiful
Your eyes with a special shine
Your lips with a special smile.

Will be our first time...

I feel your perfume blinding my senses,
Involving me,
Seducing me,
Driving me helpless to you.

I stand still... only looking at you
Admiring the beauty of your “soul”

Our eyes meet each other
In silence...

And, for an instant we become one.



The same toughs,
The same words,
The same look,
The same soul.

I walk slowly in the direction of her hands and
softly I take them into mine...

They have the softness of rose petals

From the rarest roses...

Hand in hand, our bodies get closer

Slowly...

Until I can see my reflection at your eyes.

We breathe the same air...

Your perfume, slowly, invades my body
Making me weak



I breathe your air and move my lips near to yours
and they slowly touch

We stroke our hands.
Our breathing gets stronger.
Our hearts beat faster.

I keep kissing your lips
Making them wet
With delicate bites I can hear you gasping
In my mouth.

I try to perpetuate this moment

Your hands let mine go...
And they hug me
And I hug you.

Passions fill us.
Compells our bodies.

And we kiss…
A deep and strong passions kiss.

Our tongues explore one another and…
I realize the secret of your lips.
Our words, now, are silent...
Our arms close…
our bodies get nearer
ever closer.



Our hands seek out the secrets of each others bodies...
Drawing from the desire in our minds.

Kissing you is like kissing an angel...
A prohibited desire that invades my soul,
A prohibited desire that makes me prisoner in your eyes,
A prohibited desire that silences my words with your kisses,
A prohibited desire that leads me into the paradise,
A prohibited desire that makes me get lost in your arms.

In the sweet warm of your mouth
I find the answers I have looked so long.
My heart is yours,
Your heart is mine.



And in your lips I lost my words...

I am yours
and no one elses.

In my desire my lips whisper
Sweet words at your ears
Between kisses and bites
I tell you my most private secrets.

With each kiss your body surrenders to mine
Your hair mixes on my lips...

I feel you more and more present in me.
My mouth runs along your face towards your neck

You surrender
Fragile as a flower



I feel your heart beats on my lips
I feel your blood pulse on my mouth.
My teeth touchs your skin
Making marks in our “souls”


Your gasping breath is like music for my delight
Your hands caress me

I kneel at your feet,
Like a slave kneels before his master
I venerate you, I adore you
I am yours
Only yours.

Delicately, I hold your feet and place on my lap...
I remove your shoe and silently kiss your foot.



The texture of your lingerie makes my body in ecstasy
My kisses move up along your leg
Smelling your fragrance...stronger...more potent
My hands follow my kisses, caressing your legs
My lips moving up your thighs...
I hold each sock with my hands
And I remove them delicately from your legs
My lips following my hands

I get up
Looking for yours lips
A passionate kiss
Your legs embrace me
And my body holds you strongly against the wall
My hands cover you
Finding your secrets

Slowly your legs release me

We stand toe to toe...
And kiss me
And bite me
And whisper words of desire

I let your body free and slowly, looking into your eyes,
I remove your shirt...
And you remove mine.

Your nails run down my back,
Drawing your desire on my skin
My hands cover your back,
Opening your bra.



I let it fall slowly between our bodies

I embrace you in a kiss,
Our bodies move closer
Your heat mixes with mine
Your skin mixes with mine
My desire mixes with yours

My lips feel your breaths slowly
Kissing your lips
Giving small bites...
Hearing your moaning...
I am near your heart
You hold breath

In ecstasy, your hands caress my hair
And compel me to move down ...

I am kissing your belly...

I stop in front of your skirt...
I open it and it falls softly down your body.

Your body is covered with small lace panties...
Awaking my desires
I hug you and kiss your panties.
I can feel your hair caressing my face
I can feel your body perfume
I can feel your body heat
I can feel your body moisture

Delicately I part your legs
And kiss your thighs

And I run my tongue along until I reach your sex
And taste you throught the sensuous lace
I caress your hips while removing your panties

I get near and let your hair caress my face...
Letting your bouquet fill my senses
You place a leg over my shoulder and offer yourself
for my delight
your moans invade my “soul”
and your hands guide my path...
My tongue wants to dive deep inside your intimacy...
Finding your most hidden secrets
Offering me your sweet nectar
The sweet taste of your body dazes my esprit
and inside you I can feel your desire

Your legs hug me
and in a silent scream your desire flows in my mouth


Silently I let your womanly essence invade my body.
Now you are mine
I know your secrets
I know your desires

The desire changes my body

This savage desire makes me press you against the wall
and with your arms hugging me
I hold your body and your legs embrace me
your hands guides my desire inside you

Our bodies
Our thoughts
Our hearts
Our souls



We are one

I am inside you
you are around me...

And for some instants
all our secrets are disclosed...
all our desires are carried

and your body warmth embraces me
and my body warmth embraces you

No words

We hug
We look
we kiss
we love...

First Life Experience – interview.

Edition for the Déjà vu Magazine: Dodd Roff

The “Olimpo girl 2008” (Garota Olimpo 2008), was a model contest in the Brasil Rio Island organized by AQUILES Amat. This was my – Anna Avalanche - first experience judging a beauty contest, the first contest for Annacarol, and the first international journalist article for Liane. When I realize it I change a bit this text. This is an article about first experience. Normally we get confuse, impatient and stressed when doing things you never did before. Well, Second life as a simulator can help us if used to get a background experience for our life.

This will be an article divide in two parts. The first one, journalist Anna and Liane are also interview about first experience. In the second part the “Olimpo girl 2008” is interview.






How was your first experience as a journalist?
Liane Maertens: Was really great to write my first article for an important magazine, when Anna asked I was a bit unsure if I could make it, but I decided to accept the challenge. I work as a model for a long time at Second Life and was first time I went to a show to cover the backstage and the make off. I was very welcome by the models and the owner of the agency, what made my job easy, all the girls and mostly the winner helped me a lot. Anacarol was very nice answering my questions and was really easy for me to write it down. I really hope more jobs like this and to work for the magazine once more, the experience was really great.




How was your first experience judging a beauty contest?
Anna Avalanche: From the pedagogic perspective a simulator permit learners to feel moments deeply. These simulations require activation of cognitive complex process. When using a simulator we need to recovery information from the memory. Simulators like Second Life help develop strategies to solve problems, make decision faster, formulate hypothesis that anticipate reactions. All this prevents us to be wounded. Well at least physical injured because we use a simulator of course. This is not truth to some people that really leave the moment so intensive that fiction became reality in their minds.

I have been in some contest as a model. The ones I lost I learned more about me and Second life beauty contest. This time I was the judge. The experience was very nice, but hard. I didn’t expect that it was so hard to judge the winner; even so I was only one of the tan judges. I realize that we can have nice experience in Second Life. We can try different situations that never had chance to occur in real life. This could be personal relation, work, and any kind of creation. This new situations can have different approaches. I really believe we should learn more about us, and the Second Life as a simulator can help people to learn more about themselves and about life situations. If you use this as a tool to achieve a higher knowledge for your life this is good. The problem is that some people get upset because lost a contest that is virtual. Sometimes people get so much involved in Second Life and forget this is just a 3D simulator. Anyhow we learn even form a great lost and difficulty but, using a simulator is less painful sometimes.






As Annacarol Beanazzi is from Italy and is the winner of “GAROTA OLIMPO 2008” she deserves a special interview with more questions. We all want to know a little bit more about her.

How was your first experience in a beauty contest?
Annacarol Beanazzi: I liked, this added knowledge on my model career. I learned good and bad things. But this show me how to proceed. The good ones and nice ones certainly serves as stimulus. Therefore I think that I learned even winning the “GAROTA OLIMPO 2008”. With certainty it was a wonderful experience. I like to thank very much everyone in the contest for my first experience in this journey inside Second Life.

How you define yourself?
Annacarol Beanazzi: I am friendly and companion, sincere and calm. I love to make friends I try not to harm people, but if happens I have no shame in ask for forgiveness. I prefer simple and practice things. The nature is something extraordinaire. I love the sea!

I believe at the dialog as the most efficient way to solve problems and conflicts. I early learned that things we won with honesty and dedication is what brings us happiness, because I understand that the human being is moved by dreams and desires. Thus, here and at my real life I try to work to win my own space, always respecting the others. After all, I understand life as a continuous construction, where we have to plant our garden now, looking always forward, never behind, seeing the flowers grow day by day. God gave us all the tools we needed is just know how to use them. Bacioneee ^Ä^

From all things you did and do, would you change something?
Annacarol Beanazzi: No. I always think very much and I do very well until the end and I never regret after.

How is the rhythm of your life as GAROTA OLIMPO 2008?
Annacarol Beanazzi: Until now is normal. The contest ended and the life goes on. I still need to walk a lot. And this was just first step of a long walk. I know that I have still too much to walk and win. The title was great, I loved to win. After all was for that I invested and battled, but I have conscience that only the title isn’t enough, I know that helps a lot but I still need to run after and keep walking.

What is the most difficult part of being the GAROTA OLIMPO?
Annacarol Beanazzi: Well the most difficult is to show that you are more than a beautiful face. Show that you have brains and a goal as a professional.

You want to participate in other contests?
Annacarol Beanazzi: Yes, if I have the opportunity and if I think It is worth. Not anyone, but serious contest as Olimpo. And congratulations to everybody there!


What were the aspects that motivated you to participate at the contest?
Annacarol Beanazzi: Well I always loved fashion. And when I saw myself at second life I decided to practice the dream of being a model, I needed at my second life to have a profession then I decided to invest in this and I liked.
