Criminal V.2

3/9/13

Song by FionaApple

Happy Women's History Month!

I had originally planned this song to be a courthouse drama back in the days (last summer) when I thought I would be cutting my chops in another venue.  I had started the set, had the costume and did the choreo, actually the first dance I ever did on my HUD.

Then I found this pirate courthouse, months later, and the moment I stepped in it I knew that this had to be "Criminal" and I would be a Salem Witch.  I was giddy the moment I saw the Judge's bench.

Now finding a Puritan Woman's Outfit was harder than being a Yeti.  Thanks to Sexy, Chewie, Saphy, and Kiriam and many others who scoured MP and through LMs at me.  Sometimes all it takes is many eyes and different search terms.  Saphy and I found this one at the exact same time.  I made the bonnet by modding one from a different outfit.

Not too bad...

...but of course it is always better when it is a pile on the floor. ;-}

When I went to set this to the theater, I was thrilled that since it was all full perm, I could link it into one big set.  Oh but NO!  When I set it down, it was just a bunch of blobs.  Low prim wonders turn into their original shapes when linked.  Now I know, but it took many more hours of trying to figure out what went wrong and if even it was a problem in other people's viewer or just mine.

At least the mover works…

I did learn something that I was suspecting but no one had dared to tell me except Cherry, when you add a pose to the Spot On Mover, it will take over in between every dance change.  I suspected it because so many of the crowd pictures from "Short Skirt, Long Jacket" were of me in different parts of the stage and disrobing in my starting pose.

The challenge for this one was to finally get to use the reveal object script which in this case was the flames to burn the courthouse down...

...while I disappeared in a puff of blue flame (which I could not get a good picture of).
