Wednesday night I was maddened by a lightning-induced connectus interruptus because Kala had invited me to the "Midsummer Night's Dream" event at Seven Ultra Lounge. The connection resumed 10 minutes before the start and I hadn't even bought wings yet!!!!!!
To my amazement Kala was actually ready to go (Mat's jaw drops in astonishment), but so laggy the poor beauty couldn't even see my outfit.
After I finished whining and worrying, off we went - the setting was beautiful but full of scripty avs and wings and leaves and music and particle effects and god knows what all. Many more revelers arrived after I took this shot - mostly clever good-humored women, a pleasing crowd!
I didn't look very forest-y, not even very fae (the ancient word for fairy apparently), more burnt-in-hell demonic:
As for his outfit, Kala just "threw this together" from existing outfits you see. A tendril here, a silk there, and it gels by sheer luck into a Titania so ravishing Michelle Pfeiffer would burn with envy. I could say the same of Judi Dench, but she didn't really wear an outfit, just three skimpy leaves. On television.
[Yes the same Judi Dench who now plays wrinkly old M in the Bond movies.
But when she did Titania she was young, more or less nude, dyed green and nary a wrinkle in sight. A bit of Brit Shakespearean trivia for you.]
So as this herm Titania danced before me, I just gazed in mute admiration. Wait of course my admiration is never mute but you get what I mean. My dance partner rarely saw himself rezzed, but I took zillions o snaps and here's the one I added to Seven's Flickr:
And now I have a question for you - WHO do you suppose won the prize for Best Costume? If I thought there was any doubt in your minds I would keep you in suspense - yes our very own KALA!
Back for a moment on our low-lag rooftop (well a bit laggier since Arta and I bought a planet), I recorded the languid magnificence of our dear lag-tormented darlin, because we are all hopelessly besotted:
