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.
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!
