FASHION & MUSIC: Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin starring DeeDee Deepdene

MUSIC: Natural Woman
ARTIST: Aretha Franklin
MODEL & PHOTOGRAPHER: Dee Dee Deepdene
FASHION: Lingerie is Vanessa by Nicky Ree. Shoes by Stiletto Moody. Any silks or cloth effects are sculpties designed by me. All poses created by me and available from DeePosed, my store. If you want amazing, natural looking photography poses, please visit DeePosed: SLurl http://slurl.com/secondlife/Saiph/184/101/23
INFO: I am the model, artist, set creator, pose designer for all my pics. Each image takes on average between 3-5 hours to do and what I capture is 99.9% what you see with the exception of colour enhancement and minor retouching. With nearly 600 poses in DeePosed store, you will appreciate the amount of time put into all my image creation. I create all lighting and shadowing in world using a standard viewer. I try and build in as much realism as I can i.e. with gravity effects for hair or creating individual shadow elements for objects in view. It’s a constant learning curve and always maintains my interest.

I’ve always liked emotive, evocative and sensual imagery in the human form and am always intrigued as to how far I can reflect this in what I do in second life. I hope that people can see that in my pics.

LYRICS:
Natural Woman

Looking out on the morning rain,
I used to feel so uninspired.
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired.
Before the day I met you, life was so unkind
But your love was the key to my peace of mind.

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel,
you make me feel like A natural woman.

When my soul was in the lost-and-found,
You came along to claim it.
I didn’t know just what was wrong with me
Till your kiss helped me name it.
Now I’m no longer doubtful of what I’m living for
Cause if I make you happy I don’t need no more.

Cause you make me feel, you make me feel,
you make me feel like A natural woman.

Oh, baby, what you’ve done to me,
You make me feel so good inside.
And I just want to be close to you
You make me fell so alive.
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel,
you make me feel like A natural woman.

FASHION CALENDAR: Clothing Fair Kicks Off Today.

The Clothing Fair committee is proud to present Second Life’s 4th Annual Clothing Fair benefiting Relay for Life. Events are set to launch today Saturday, March 13th at 3pm slt and run 24/7 through Sunday, March 21, 2010 when the doors must close at 9pm SLT.

The Clothing Fair began as a dream three years ago with 34 stores participating in this event for Relay for Life. Since that date, it has grown to over 150 designers over 9 sims and has raised over 11 million Linden Dollars for RFL.

This year is no different. Prepare to be immersed in 8 of the greatest “Fashion Cities of the World” surrounding a center sim patterned after the UN Sculpture Gardens containing sculptures from some of SL’s most talented artists.
We have some of the cream of the crop coming together in the fashion world of Second Life bringing designs from all over the world to this virtual shopping experience. Each of these designers dedicate months of time getting ready for this event. They are all committed to raising as much money for Relay for Life as possible.

This year we are again inviting the Live Musicians and DJ’s of Second Life to join us. Covering 24/ 7 through-out the fair, fund raising, and letting us all know just what can be found through-out the 9 sims.

The Clothing Fair 2010 promises to be even better than ever, featuring:

Over 150 Clothing Designers

Live Music and DJ’s to keep you entertained while you shop

St. Patrick’s Day Party with RL Keltic Music performed by LabGraal
