Great Gatsby






The Great Gatsby is a novel by the American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is about American society enjoying prosperity during the "roaring"" 1920s. There are 4 movies made of, based on this book.
When i made my pictures i thought of this sphere.

Nic shows her highwaisted mesh skirt from the Valentines Hunt at R.icielli. The mesh python clutch and the hair attachment ( worn with a hairbase and shown on most of the pictures) are from that hunt. You need find golden hearts. They are very easy to find. Each heart is 15ld. Don't know how long that hunt will be there.
The jacket is from the hunt at 22769. LAST DAY today!!! You can find 6 hunt items ( the word "love" ). When you have all the items you have a womens and a mens outfit. Because it is the last day i will make it easy for you to find just this jacket. The hunt item is behind the bench near the scarfs.
I combined all with parts of a dress from Gabriel and the boots from slink ( both shown before).
Oh and because not everyone likes mesh.. a same sort of hair but not mesh, i wear at my first picture. The pompadour hair from shop Seu.

the Raspberry Harlequin

It is the story of this little girl
In the beginning it seemed to be a normal day: playing piano
but then suddenly everything began to blur
everything turned out to be so extremely weird, it troubled her.. she felt lost and alone
"may be when i have a better overview it will help" she thought
but then....looking down on everything around..it happened..
she terribly fall down... life can go like this you know..but then a rope came from above
Her "Large Puppetmaster" was the one who helped her out....she is dancing again in life..

Was it because she did eat to much dark raspberries? Could she better eat the normal raspberries? Was she addicted to something? The reason why all went wrong you may figure out yourself :)
But think about your life ..it can sometimes go wrong and weird ..isn't it? I hope however that you will find your helping puppetmaster... in what way or in what form... it doesn't matter, just hope something will help you out of trouble...

It always surprises me how the creation of a post ends. First you see the next colour on luna's blog. " Hmmm do i like that colour?..What is in my inventory?" ..Then going to shops and search there with area search with that colour name..remembering in what shop you saw such a colour..... "what is on marketplace?"."Shall i go like a super vamp or a vintage woman, like streetgirl.. or.. or.. or.. Does the name give me inspiration ? " All sorts of thoughts. Then the descision comes.. "I like those clothings :)) so i will wear that.. "." How to combine?.. where to go to make my pictures?" ...Taking pictures..from high.. from low.. from far... from close.. lights changing..Then some pictures need to be photoshoped a little bit..and being busy like this a story pops up ..
"How amazing is this!" i always think.. from just a colour to this! I didn't know of it in the beginning.. there is more beyond us then we know.. we do not know all the things that influence ourself..

Enough now about this.. what does Nic wear?
The outfit is a promo at marketplace. And yes it had the name raspberry. The sweater comes with the scarf, a short jeans and Uggs boots and a legging.. but i put on my beloved radical boots from Maitreya and the shorts from Mon Tissu and a legging from Fishy Strawberry. That cute harlequin hat, i had in my inventory already loooooong time..always nice for carnival. Fitting for this weekend..it is carnival time in Europe at the moment. But the designer Vanilla Sola left Second life for an open grid, because of all the theft in SL.. what a pity!!
