A Special Thank You to All ...
No event is a success unto itself. It takes many people working together to create a memorable, enjoyable extravaganza. Below are the people who participated in making this event... the success it is...
Organizer -- Hayden Cerise
|
The concept of a Design-n-Dance competition has been a vision of Hayden's for almost as long as she has been serving through dance. And now in it's third year, she's humbled to see her dream realized. Hayden has been on break from Gor as she became increasingly busy with her work as a photographer and a blogger in Second Life. She plans a return to Gor fully in August. A Gallery of her works can be found in Skybeam Tradewinds. Please see her profile in game for details. |
Builder

An incredible builder! Smokes has been building in Second Life for years. His creations are always uniquely "Smokes" ... He can create grunge builds that make you pause and blink -- to elegant and classy builds that leave you in complete awe. Smokes has designed some fabulous malls and stores for friends and family in addition to creating each and every gallery for Hayden's exhibits. He gets as many comments on the creativity of his gallery builds during opening night, as she gets for the photos taken. Smokes created the last two year's fabulous Design-n-Dance builds and is back again this year with another "Smokes" original design. Smokes and Hayden have been friends for over six years, both drawn to the creative aspect of photography in Second Life. He's an awesome photographer as well as builder -- and his work in photographs can currently be seen on the second floor of Hayden's Gallery. Thank you so much, Smokes. |
Event Photographer

My name is Adria (AdriaRickman) and I'm the Senior Scribe of Hellenos, which is a Gorean city of education and training since around 2007. I've lived there for approximately two years, with a short break - but boy was I glad to get back. My main job is to sort and update the library, traveling to other libraries, finding quotes from the web-making sure they're correct and then adding to our scroll cases.
I also maintain the Hellenos website, updating city events. In my spare time, I manage the market so there is never a time I get bored. I take snapshots of events - no Photoshop or backgrounds. I'm not a professional by any means. I just try to get the best picture I can with the little snapshot button! I am honoured to be asked to take photos of this years Design-N-Dance Festival, by Hayden, who I consider an amazing photographer, and Kal Hocken, after they saw my event photos on our Hellenos website for the celebration dance for Khalida. So thank you and I hope I do a great job for you. Hayden first met Adria when she posed for Hayden's "Free Women of Gor" photo exhibit. And after seeing her snapshots of the event in Hellenos, we immediately contacted her to see if she would do us the honor of being our festival's event photographer. We are so happy to have her on board with us and look forward to her event pics ! |
