We recently ran a contest for a pin up girl to appear on a poster at our store. The winner Bourbon Zenovka won a make over at Adam n Eve and a photo shoot with Second Life Photographer Alia Whitfield. This lovely image of Bourbon is the poster which is now in store beside the boutique. Congrats again to Bourbon and many thanks to everyone who entered, the competition was a lot of fun!
Alia Whitfield and I have spent the last couple of days looking at the pics and swapping notecards with our thoughts and opinions to whittle down to a winner. It was tough! Thank you all for taking the time and energy to post such fabulous pictures.
Special mentions to:
Alia ‘There are a lot of really worthwhile mentions, like Belle LaFavre’s simple black-on-red shots, Bex Hathaway’s Lion Tamer in Red, and Tox 2 by Silvernia Hathaway. All very well done shots.’
sachi ‘I loved the mood of the sepia style shots from Silvernia Nakamura. Connie Sec did some beautiful and eye catching compositions with lingerie and hot latex! I thought Whimsy Winx’s Drow in the water pool was absolutely stunning. I really loved the composition of Frosted Foto’s shots and she got some serious brownie points for using my sim for some of her photography! I noticed! I also really liked Mika Hope’s Bo Peep.’
Guns and Stilettos by Grazia Horowitz which Alia felt was ‘very good and has a lot of attitude. This would actually be much higher on my list if she had thought to list your products in her description, because I had to pick out what -I- think is there. I like that she included the gun (not just for the name) because the outfit takes on a very gun-moll appearance with the hat and high collar and mini and I also love that she got your newest (I think!) sculptey heels into it. And most importantly, -sexy-.’ While I particularly loved the earlier pics that Grazia did of herself in my new Alanna skins. So stunning I may have to find a place in store for one somewhere!
“Diver Girl” Pinup by vye Graves. Alia said: ‘I LOVE this because I feel she put a LOT of time and effort into getting it right. Even though I would have liked to see a light source on the avatar herself, for an “amatuer” photo it’s very well done and she’s obviously poured a lot of care and energy into it. This is what I like to see in contest photos, personally, as it speaks of wanting to win and I think with so many entrants the person should really want it. ESPECIALLY the first one. And I anticipate that kind of adventerous spirit would be fun to work with. Or, a nightmare. It could go either way. ;)’ Sachi thought it was a stunning shot and really loved the use of the boat and the night ocean. Vye obviously put a great deal of thought and effort into her shot and it showed.
Not This Time, Clark by Bourbon Zenovka. Alia felt the pic is cute and not just because she’s wearing my hair! She’s picked a very attractive and becoming pose for the outfit and what is a very modest shirt becomes tantalizing as the arch in her back makes it look as if the hem might rise up over her skirt’s waist. It’s very teasing and her expression (it’s hard to make your average SL deadpan look like an intended expression in a photo) suits the overall feel of the photo very well. It’s an obviously well-thought out piece and I like that she’s managed to combine pin-up with a high fashion feel. Sachi thought this was a very clever idea, well thought out and loved the title and composition of the pic. I loved how Bourbon was telling a story in her images.
In the end it was a very tough call to choose between Vye and Bourbon so we called in a third adjudicator who said ‘I think Bourbon’s Not This Time Clark picture is probably stronger in terms of the contest. As far as showing off the products of Adam n Eve this one is the winner.’
So the winner is…
Not This Time, Clark by Bourbon Zenovka. (Pictured at top).
Congrats to Bourbon, we’ll be contacting you in world about the prize! Thank you to everyone who participated and all the pics had wonderful qualities, even if not mentioned here!

We enjoyed ourselves so much we may do this again towards the end of May so get your picture and Adam n Eve thinking caps on!
It’s been a fun week of fae in the adam n eve workshop. Hot on the heels of the lovely winirose outfit, I made a second outfit called Woodland for fae and one for the guys too! There are lots of options and prim attachments included and these are on sale for just 450L$ each so step on over and try a demo. With six colours to choose from maybe it will inspire you to get your fairy groove on too!

Why not find your fairy!
My fairy is called Feather Goblinglow
She is a bringer of riches and wealth.
She lives in high places where the clouds meet the earth.
She is only seen in the light of a full moon.
She wears pale blue like the sky. She has gentle green wings like a butterfly.
winirose Runo asked me if I’d ever considered making fae outfits and this beautiful Spring outfit was born! It comes in 6 delicate floral colours and there is a brat pack available for those who would like them all because they can’t choose! 450L$ per colour and 1800 for the fat pack giving 1/3 off discount!
Many people in Second Life seem to enjoy the idea of modelling but while there are agencies and catwalk shows the opportunities to be a model on a pin up poster seem to be limited. We thought it would be fun to offer our customers the chance to be a May Model Poster Pin Up at our store, Adam n Eve.
