Fab Free Photo Challenge Submission – Let me show you my Tauntauns

September 5, 2014 by Pru Rexroth 3 Comments

Well hello there everyone! So this post is a little bit more about myself than some of the others. Don’t get me wrong, there are some awesome freebies and cheapies to be had also, not to worry! This month’s photo challenge was to depict yourself with your SL pets. Well, in my many years in Second Life, I’ve had man virtual pets, cats, dogs, fish, even horses. Still, those are all pets I could have or even have had in my First life. That got me thinking, if I could have any pet, what would it be. Well, I’ll tell you, I’d have a darn zoo of both real and imagined creatures! lol One thing most people might not know about me is just how dorky I really am. So, I’ve decided to let my geekiness shine through.

I chose Taun Tauns as my Second Life pets. Yep, here I am a modern-day Twilek complete with pretty blue skin, thanks to La Petite Morte, perfectly matching nails from {ZOZ}, and even the Lekku on my head from SDS. At first I spent a lot of time trying to figure out an “authentic” looking Twilek outfit. Something a character in the Star Wars stories might wear. Then it occurred to me that if I dressed up like a Twilek and posed with my little Tauntauns, I wouldn’t really be showing myself, just a character. So here I am, part Twilek, part Pin-up, part tatoo’d freak, fashion-obsessed super geek and I love it!

Since this post is also about my pets, are these Tauntauns not just freakishly cute!? Okay, maybe only my fellow Star Wars nerds will think that as I do. lol So if you fall into that category, these are a MUST HAVE, especially considering they are FREE! Yep, free, and you get all four versions in the same purchase. In addition to the four types, each one comes in a stand-alone version and a hold-able version.

Wanna know where to get everything, and more about what I’m wearing? I thought you might. Here are the details, Enjoy, and may the Force be with you!
