Makeover Madness Contest




September 21 - October 4, 2010

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Details and Rules:



NOTE ** This contest is open to both male and female avatars. In the event a male wins, they may gift the skins from LionSkins to a female friend. All other prizes remain the same.

What's more fun in SL than shopping?  Well, for one thing, shopping for a makeover!  Have you grown tired of your look? Want something new and exciting?  Well, have we got a deal for you!

LeeZu! is hosting a makeover contest.  Show us your worst look and convince us that you need a makeover desperately.  Need new hair? Skin? Clothes? Shoes? Shapes? Eyes?  LeeZu Baxter, owner of [LeeZu!] Couture clothing, in cooperation with Music Hyun, owner of *p_OO_f*, professional makeover consultant, Serenity Mercier, owner of the popular Ananke Media Systems which brings you PhotoStage, and Lion Jonesford of LionSkins, maker of quality skins in SL, is ready to give you the makeover of your life!   And all you have to do is show us that you need one.

Take a photo of yourself, the less flattering the better, and submit it to us along with a short paragraph telling us why you deserve a complete makeover.

RULES:

All photos must be square format, either 512 X 512 or 1024 X 1024.  Any photos submitted that are any other size will be automatically disqualified.

Post processing is permitted but should not alter the essential avatar appearance.  No morphs!

One submission per avatar. If you have an alt that you want to enter, that is permitted, but the entry must be submitted under the alt's name.

DETAILS:

Create a Folder called "LeeZu! Makeover - Your Name" and include a notecard telling us why you need a  makeover. Maybe you had a bad hairday, or got caught in a tornado.  Just have fun with it.

Take a snapshot of yourself at your worst. Think 'opposite of glamour shots'.  Include the photo in the folder "FULL PERMS" and name the photo "Help Me - Your Name". Remember.. all photos MUST be square.. either 512 X 512 or 1024 X 1024.

Submit the folder which should include a notecard and a photo to Barbara Nicholls. All submissions will be judged by LeeZu! management and the person needing a makeover the most will win the grand prize.

The SL 50 sim media concert by Mankind Tracer


3 hours of live video concert


Be there!


More information at Second Friends


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brief Recap from previous Peace, Love and Belief IV (see link for original post)



"On October 3rd 12-3PM SLT Mankind Tracer will be holding the largest ever multi sim concert event in Second Life's history. The event is also confirmed to be featured in the SL Destination Guide!

Over the past few years, Mankind Tracer, SL's most recognized live performer, has held his Peace, Love & Belief Concerts, with the last PLB III on 34 different sims. During PLB III, Mankind played a few songs at each venue, jumping from sim to sim for over 6 hours straight. While this is still the recognized record for most simultaneous sims, Mankind will be going for 50 sims at Peace, Love & Belief IV.

The major difference this year is that PLB IV will be a Live Video Concert. The concert is planned to last for three straight hours. There will also be a live audio stream just in case residents don't have the ability to see video. Mankind will stream his live show across SL via the new "stage screen" and thus will not need to jump sims. This year, there will still be the Land Mark Board which, as with all previous PLB Events, will clearly display the names of all participating venues/sims and each will be clickable to their respective LM's."

From covers to originals, Maximillion Kleene sings each song as if it was his own. That angelic voice hovers in the air reaching our ears and capturing our hearts.







Max is four years old today on the Second Life grid. He has earned the title of one of the most popular live singers on the grid.





I am privileged to have met him and hear him throughout my entire time here. Without Max and other musicians, Second Life would have not been such a fulfilling place.




Congratulations Max! We love you!

Virtual Lab has just uploaded a beautiful club concept from Switzerland.



Machinima artist and dj,  Eifachfilm sent a shout through THE A LIST! and we came over to check it out.






When I arrived, I was struck with a sense of peaceful existence with the digital grid. I could feel no lag!



Following the stairs as they unfolded in front of us, we climbed our way to the club.


You have to see this place. The photos do not give it justice. You must go to experience it.

Nikopol's Club


Fiche technique          France - 2002 - 1h42
                                       Animation - Science  Fiction
Réalisateur :                Enki Bilal
Scénario :                     Enki Bilal  Serge Lehman
d’après la Trilogie Nikopol d’Enki Bilal
Image :                          Pascal Gennesseaux
Musique :                     de  Goran Vejvoda
                                       Sigur Rós Vénus


New York 2095.
Une pyramide flottante au-dessus de
Manhattan... Une population de mutants,
d'extra-terrestres, d'humains, réels ou syn-
thétiques...  Une campagne électorale. Un
serial killer boulimique qui cherche un corps sain et un dieu à tête de faucon qui n'a que sept jours pour préserver son immortalité.
Un pénitencier géostationnaire qui perd un
dissident subversif congelé depuis trente ans
 et une jeune femme sans origine connue, aux cheveux et aux larmes bleus...
Trois noms : Horus, Nikopol, Jill…
Trois êtres aux destins convergents où tout est truqué: les voix, les corps, les souvenirs. Tout, sauf l'amour qui surgit comme une délivrance.

Les personnages principaux sont au nombre de trois. Le premier est surnaturel. C'est le dieu Horus, athlète à tête de faucon, condamné à mort par ses pairs pour rébellion, qui n'a que sept jours pour exécuter son plan démoniaque :
investir un corps humain et séduire une femme qui lui garantira l'immortalité. Sa proie sera Alcide Nikopol (Thomas Kretschmann), le défenseur des opprimés, déporté pour avoir tenté de combattre le pouvoir officiel, qu'un court-circuit dans le pénitencier où il était congelé depuis trente ans ressuscite.


Nikopol (guerrier doté d'une jambe artificielle
de métal) et Horus (mi-homme mi-oiseau) deviennent rivaux : ils tombent amoureux de la même femme, Jill (Linda Hardy), pur fantasme, énigmatique pin-up en phase de mue, qui avale des pilules pour empêcher son passé de resurgir, et pleure des larmes bleues, indélébiles sur la peau humaine.


Nikopol séduit Jill en lui récitant un poème de Baudelaire  "Une Charogne" . La cérémonie des lèvres est rythmée par une dégustation de bordeaux. Déployant ses ailes au-dessus d'un New York évoquant le Metropolis de Fritz Lang,
l'homme-dieu au pouvoir de Superman a des désirs physiques, et les pulsions de viol d'Amphitryon : sous l'apparence de Nikopol, dans une chambre d'hôtel à faire gémir les fleurs du mal, il pénètre le corps alangui de Jill, jouit de ses étreintes et de son abandon tel un alien.

New York 2095.A floating pyramid overManhattan ... A population of mutants,extra-terrestrial, human, real or syn-thetic ... An election campaign. Acompulsive serial killer who seeks a healthy body and a falcon-headed god who is only seven days to preserve his immortality. A penitentiary who loses a geostationarysubversive dissident frozen for thirty years
 and a young woman with no known origin, to hair and blue tears ...Three names: Horus, Nikopol, Jill ...Three people whose destinies converge, where everything is fake: the voices, bodies, memories.Everything except the love that comes as a relief.The main characters are three in number. The first is supernatural. That the god Horus, the falcon-headed athlete, sentenced to death by his peers for rebellion, which has only seven days to complete his master plan:invest a human body and seduce a woman who will guarantee immortality. Its prey is Alcide Nikopol (Thomas Kretschmann), the defender of the oppressed, deported for trying to combat official power, a short circuit in the penitentiary where he was frozen for thirty years revived.

Nikopol (warrior with an artificial legmetal) and Horus (half-man half-bird) become rivals: they fall in love with the same woman, Jill (Linda Hardy), pure fantasy, pinup enigmatic phase of moult, which swallowspills to prevent his past resurface and weep tears of blue indelible human skin.

Nikopol Jill seduces him reciting a poem of Baudelaire's "A Carcass". The ceremony was punctuated by the lips tasting of Bordeaux. Spreading its wings over a New York reminiscent of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, man-god power Superman has physical desires, and impulses of rape of Amphitryon: under the guise of Nikopol, in a hotel room to mourn the flowers of evil, it enters the body of languid Jill enjoys his hugs and his abandonment as an alien.
