Pixie Rain: straddling Art and Porn in Second Life.
Some of the machinima and blog-posts on this site are adult in nature and contain scenes that some people may find disturbing.
If you feel this might be you, please exit now.
Other elements are warm and cuddly and have a "feel good" factor.

This weekend saw the WarBug Annual Air Show -
Saturday for US pilots and groupies; Sunday for Europeans. The weekend was a
collaboration between Arduenn
Schwartzman and MadPea
Productions.
I was asked to be Official WarBug Correspondent,
and like my heroine Kate
Adie, I grappled the mantle with both hands and jumped in head
first only to land on my feet and smelling of, if not roses exactly, then certainly
nothing worst than aircraft fuel.
Lots of people there - and a pleasure especially
to see Bert
Jedburgh and Alex
Latino. Met some old friends and made some new friends.
Laughed a lot!
This was a high-toned, good spirited event and
competition and thanks to all the contestants for their sportsmanship and good
humour!

You can go fly and dogfight in a Warbug plane by
visiting Arduenn's Second Life region Black Forest - another fun and funny place
to hang out.
Here is my short film as a memento of the weekend. My apologies
for not being able to get all contestants into the film.
The last time we chronicled the Adventures of Pixie Miku was
June 2011 in 'A Man Named Soup'.
Now, over a year later, a new Pixie Miku arises!
This avatar is made completely of mesh by Utilizator Mode. Check out his marketplace store or visit in-world on the
'Peaceful Haven' region.
I love it! Thanks Tutsy!
This picture is also the first I have created using
Photoshop CS6, part of the Adobe CS6 Master Collection gift generously donated
to me by the wonderful Herc Serpente.
The new PS CS6 'Color Lookup' adjustment layer is
brilliant!
The CS6-only application 'SpeedGrade' will radically change how I
work in Premiere Pro and After Effects - both in terms of workflow and output.
I can't wait to use it!
Tutsy, the Puddlegums and I are big fans of
Arduenn's work. His sense of humour, sense of fun and creativity scream out at
you in most everything he makes.
Arduenn is currently working on a rather hush-hush project
with the much respected MadPea
Productions. We look forward to seeing the outcome of that
collaboration in a few months or so.
Tutsy and I discovered Arduenn's SL region, Black Forest , by accident when we were
looking for a specific scene for my MachinimUWA V entry, "Fwd: Evolution". As it happens,
we did find what we went looking for but on another region entirely! And then,
the scene in question didn't actually make it into the final cut of the film anyway!
And thus was the circuitous route that the Mistress of
Serendipity introduced us to Arduenn's creations! Since then, between the lot
of us, I reckon we must have purchased at least one of everything in his stores!
Of special interest to us in this particular blog-post is
Ardueen's fabulous 'WarBug' aircraft and the dogfights which occur in them at Black Forest.
The cumulative Combat Score for successfully shooting down
an opponent is displayed on this website. I am currently ranked #67.
Rocky Vansant - a charismatic and fun guy that I have met
before - is ranked #1. However, he somehow neglected to mention this fact while we were dogfighting...
Last week, I was dancing at Old
Lar's House when I received an IM from Arduenn. In amongst
our much longer chat was buried this gem in reference to the v2 iteration of
the LLab viewer:
And so was born Arduenn's latest creation - the V-2 Warbug Rocket - which I am
grateful to be recognised as the Muse for and to have received a free copy of.
Saturday morning Tutsy and I piled over to Black
Forest itching to dogfight against all comers in our Red Barron and V-2 Rocket Warbugs,
respectively.
It is fair to say that Tutsy and my skill level was a tad or
two under Rocky and Arduenn's. But, it was nevertheless great fun and highly
recommended!
Watch this short film to see us in action - 'The WarBug Jitterbug'!:
Glasz DeCuir has a new project called 'The Face of
Machinima'.
The project aims to collect avatar portraits of
machinimatographers, producers, actors, musicians, voice artists, builders - in
fact, all categories of avatars who work in machinima production teams - and
display these portraits as part of an exhibition at the AviewTV Machinima Gallery.
Tutsy and I were both invited to submit a portrait each. I
volunteered to take them.
I made two of Tutsy and two of myself. We'll decide which ones
we will submit over the weekend.
The following is from a photoseries exhibition currently
being held at 'The Gaggery' in Second Life®.
The Gaggery is a gallery space for fetish art featuring images,
mixed media, machinima, performance and installations. It is part of a sim-wide
adult RP community 'The Blacklist' on the Cataclysm region.
The Blacklist is a kinky hilltop town and cummunity featuring
the Blacklist Bar and Club, Fetishista House and, of course, The Gaggery itself.
Nutri-Nutt™ was invented in 1973 by Professor Q. Shackleton
PhD - the distinguished geographer, Rotarian, golfer, mountain climber and
sperm donor.
He founded the Nutri-Nutt™ Corporation in 2010.
Nutri-Nutt™ is a multi-purpose product made by old men,
according to an ancient recipe. It's a versatile face cream and makes for a
tasty light snack.
Nutri-Nutt® Donors
Hundreds of old men are milked at Nutri-Nutt™ every day, to
provide us with the raw ingredient for our range of products.
The sperm of men over 50 has been
scientifically proven* to have a number of health benefits including weight
loss, breast enlargement and improved complexion - it can even boost IQ!
We harvest seed in commercial quantities at
the Nutri-Nutt™ factory - by machine, and also by hand...

Doris the Intern
Nutri-Nutt™ runs a popular intern programme - and here is
one of our newest interns, Doris Tenenbaum - on her first day!
Doris is keen to learn the business
and is hoping that by getting a regular supply of Nutri-Nutt™ (all our
employees and interns are provided with free samples!) that her acne will clear
up.
Hello Doris! Welcome
to the company! We’ll start you on the fast-track programme immediately...
There is work to be done, Doris!
No time for note-taking now, Doris-
here come your first two 'donors' - there'll be time for asking more questions
at your tea break in a few hours...
Manual Sperm Collection
Looks like these two are very keen - they appear to want to
get started right here on the warehouse floor!
That’s it, Doris, open
wide and tell them how much you love it - these two hairy brutes will break you
in...
The Fast-Track to Corporate Success!
Some of our donors prefer the manual method to help them
dump nut - it may take longer, but results show that we attain a much larger
yield. These two old duffers are regulars and they like to spend a bit of
time taking turns to pump a fresh, new intern, before they donate.
That's it Doris,
you're doing great! Why don't you try sucking on that big chopper while
you get fucked? Then we'll show you how to milk them.
Advance Sperm Collecting
Use your mouth and hands to milk them, Doris - here they
go! Remember to catch as much as you can in your mouth and in your hands,
and try saying something dirty to them as they ejaculate - that often makes
them bring up more.
Make sure you properly clean out their tubes and drain their
sacks - don’t leave any behind - a nice, big guzzling suck will get out that
last bit.
Now it’s over to the collecting buckets...
Every sperm is sacred
Here's the collecting bucket the men ejaculate into before
it gets poured into the processing vats.
You can spew the load you've harvested into here, Doris. Don't spill any and watch out, it's coming
out your nose! Good job.
At this rate you'll be on track for Employee of the Month!
It'll
be time for your tea break soon, but first we'll show you the packing
department, where we fill, label and box up the jars of Nutri-Nutt™ before
shipment.
Nutri-Nutt - Shipped worldwide
After mixing and processing, the Nutri-Nutt™ gets jarred and
then boxed up.
Doris appears to be a natural with
heavy loads!
Our product is then shipped to stores worldwide - and even
delivered direct, to some of our greedier mail order customers.
Nutri-Nutt™ - you can spread it on your face, use it as a
body cream and even eat it! That’s why
millions of consumers around the world ‘start the day with a load’.
* Warning: Contains semen.
May become highly addictive.
Actual sperm count may vary between jars. Terms and conditions apply.

Adult Scene Director's MachinimUWA V
Entry
'Fwd: Evolution' by Pixie Rain
"A Cybernetic
Shaman and Cybernetic Dancer
travel through space, time and the inner dimensions in search of
wisdom..."
This is a non-adult film.
However, we've always supported our adult directors here at 'The Pornstars' when entering the UWA Machinima
contest. Last time around Bert Jedburgh, Pel Beaton and Scooby Mode all
submitted entries and were covered here on the blog.
This time we have Pixie Rain, who is of course one of the
most talented movie makers to work in the adult genre, doing what she does best
with her usual class and artistic style.
'Fwd: Evolution' is a superb movie, superbly titled
too as it aptly describes the journey you'll embark on when you watch this film.
Some wonderful imagery and some thoughtful
content mean I enjoyed watching several times for very different reasons. You
should listen, watch and absorb the movie in order to get the full effect and
the Director's message.
Also on later viewings you can, as I described to Pixie
yesterday when we spoke "take a magic carpet ride" and just let the
scenes and images flow past you. I think probably John Lennon put it best
"Switch off your mind, relax and float down stream".
The film does indeed take you on a journey and it feels like
a literal one as Pixie's editing and filming techniques really take you on a
flight through the movie's entire length - always going forward, always
evolving.
Look out for the Cybernetic Shamen, who can be seen
throughout, white rabbit like!
We wish Pixie all the best for the UWA Awards.
Machinima
of this stature from artists involved in the adult scene can only help gain
respect for some of the wonderfully produced adult content which gets released
by others too. Much of which fully deserves praise by a wider machinima loving
audience.

Transcript of
McKenna's lecture (courtesy of http://www.erowid.org):
If the truth can be told so as to be understood, it will be
believed.
Human history represents such a radical break with the
natural systems of biological organization that preceded it, that it must be
the response to a kind of attractor or dwell point that lies ahead in the
temporal dimension.
Persistently Western religions have integrated into their
theologies the notion of a kind of end of the world, and I think that a lot of
psychedelic experimentation sort of confirms this intuition. I mean, it isn't
going to happen according to any of the scenarios of orthodox religion, but the
basic intuition that the universe seeks closure in a kind of Omega Point of
Transcendence, is confirmed.
It's almost as though this object in Hyperspace, glittering
in Hyperspace, throws off reflections of itself, which actually ricochet into
the past, illuminating this Mystic, inspiring that Saint or Visionary and that
out of these fragmentary glimpses of eternity we can build a kind of map, of
not only the past of the Universe and the evolutionary egression into Novelty,
but a kind of map of the future. This is what shamanism is always been about.
A Shaman is someone who has been to the end. It's someone
who knows how the world really works, and knowing how the world really works
means to have risen outside, above, beyond the dimensions of ordinary space,
time, and casuistry and actually seen the wiring under the board; stepped
outside the confines of learned culture and learned and embedded language into
the domain of what Wittgenstein called "The Unspeakable" - the transcendental
presence of the other, which can be unsanctioned in various ways to yield
systems of knowledge which can be brought back into ordinary social space for
the good of the community.
So in the context of ninety percent of human culture the
shaman has been the Agent of Evolution because the shaman learns the techniques
to go between ordinary reality and the domain of the ideas. This higher
dimensional continuum that is somehow parallel to us, available to us, and yet
ordinarily occluded by cultural convention out of fear of the Mystery, I
believe.
And what shamans are, I believe, are people who have been
able to de-condition themselves from the community's instinctual distrust of
the Mystery, and to go into it, to go into this bewildering higher dimension,
and gain knowledge, recover the jewel lost at the beginning of time, to save
souls, cure, commune with the ancestors and so forth and so on.
Shamanism is not a religion - it's a set of techniques, and
the principal technique is the use of psychedelic plants. What psychedelics do
is they dissolve boundaries and in the presence of dissolved boundaries one
cannot continue to close one's eyes to the ruination of the earth, the
poisoning of the seas, and the consequences of two thousand years of
unchallenged dominator culture based on monotheism, hatred of nature,
suppression of the female and so forth and so on. So, what shamans have to do
is act as Exemplars by making this cosmic journey to the domain of the Gaian
ideas and then bringing them back in the form of Art to t struggle to save the
world.
The planet has a kind of intelligence that it can actually
open a channel of communication with an individual human being. The message
that nature sends is "transform your language" through a synergy
between electronic culture and the psychedelic imagination; a synergy between
dance and idea; a synergy between understanding and intuition and dissolve the
boundaries that your culture has sanctioned between you - to become part of
this Gaian Supermind.
I mean, I think it's fairly profound, it's fairly
apocalyptic. History is ending. I mean, we are to be the generation that
witnesses the revelation of the purpose of the cosmos. History is the shock
wave of the Eschaton. History is the shock wave of eschatology. And what this
means for those of us who will live through this transition into Hyperspace is
that we will be privileged to see the greatest release of compressed change
probably since the birth of the Universe.
The twentieth century is the shudder that announces the
approaching cataracts of time over which our species and the destiny of this
planet is about to be swept.
We're going to arrive in the third millennium in the middle
of an archaic revival, which will mean a revival of these physiologically
empowering rhythm signatures, a new Art, a new social vision, a new
relationship to Nature, to feminism, to ego.
All of these things are taking hold, and not a moment too
soon.
