219 - Triton's cove

Dim Sum pretends to ignore the chirping, whirring, clicking talkative dolphin, who kept slapping the water to get her attention.


How do you take underwater pictures if you're a cat afraid of water?

There's a lot going on here. Reflections of the boats, pier, trees, and clouds above water. Hints of the dolphin, arch, and dome underwater. The froth of an incoming wave just below the surface. The shadow of a tree over the boats and the water surface. Very little DOF.

218 - The emperor's swans

Dim Sum quietly plans an attack on the unsuspecting swans, but, first, she has to figure out how deep the water is. She doesn't plan to lose another life so soon.


As I was playing with windlight and DOF, I noticed the crosshairs of the Emperor of Romanum on me. Uh-oh. Would I get kicked out?

I IM'd OOC that I was just taking pictures and asked if that was okay. Of course, I didn't tell him about Dim Sum's secret plan to attack his swans. He said, "No problem at all, little kitty." :D See? I told you white cats are welcome here. Or maybe only white cats named "Dim Sum," who meow sweetly.  ;D

And, apparently, Opal looks like royalty. Scroll down for my response to Strawberry's "Avatar Look-Alikes Challenge".

Strawberry's memes - Avatar Look-Alikes Challenge

Strawberry's instructions for this week's meme says: "Share a selfie of your avatar and a picture of the person you feel most looks like your avatar, or someone people have told you looks like your avatar or someone you tried to base your avatar’s looks on."

I didn't particularly make my avatar look like any real person. I based Opal's face on an imaginary face that I had been drawing as a child, and I tweaked my shape as I went along, particularly when I got new skin (which I haven't for ages now).

I went to the Celebrity Look-Alike Generator site that she mentioned, but it couldn't "see" a face in my current profile pic, so I used an older pic. And, apparently, Opal looks like royalty. Just the wrong gender.  ;)

217 - Romanum's shrine

Dim Sum listens to the rushing river and sniffs the orange-scented air. If only all mornings were nice and sunny like this.


Michel Karmin was having problems with his Mer Betta tail. He asked for a tp, because he said I wouldn't be allowed in Romanum, where he was.

After we figured out that he was wearing the wrong parts of the product (and he later showed me many other interesting male mer parts), he put on several of his different mer avies, as well as other avies (a very realistic deer and a bat with its own dead tree that it hangs from). He has a gazillion of these avies!

Before he answered the call of "a cute Roman," who needed him, he gave me a notecard about Romanum. But the landmark took me underwater, deep in the mer domain. Dim Sum lost a life, I tell ya!

Romanum is an adult sim exclusively for gay men and white cats. (Well, the "white cats" part is not officially sanctioned, but shhhh!) It is a very adult sim. Not that I'm complaining about the very explicit sculptures all around the sim, mind you. This spot is probably the only PG part of the sim, although I haven't looked closely at the bas relief on that shrine.

The temple (GK Roman Temple Small) and shrine (GK Lalarium Roman Shrine) were created by Grey Kurka (The Curious Prim), whose sim Mythopoeia I've visited before.
