Song by Paloma Faith (here)
"All in the blink of an eye,
There you were standing there"
Paloma Faith came into my life recently and I love her! I had a hard time picking which of her songs I wanted to do, many of them have a certain"je ne sais F U" to them that really do not go with my personality.
"Thirty Minute Love Affair" won out, and once I committed, it became obvious this was a time traveling song. Having read Orlando, again, not too long ago, I felt my time travel should also include some gender swapping. Being a big fan of Tilda, my costume choice was influenced as much as possible by Swinton's Orlando, going for the Romantic poet. OK, that was before I took it off.
I recruited Renae, Belle, and Ender to do pics with me for the three monitors on my time machine console. I wanted past, present and future selves to illustrate short 3 picture stories. So based on their personalities and inclinations, I put Renae in the past, Belle in the "present" and Ender in the future. Now keep in mind the present time for this act was the Victorian Era, with a steampunk twist.
Renae is my fairy princess, so the "past" with a fae world & medieval themes were easy.
She pulled out this cool post-apocalyptic-ish outfit and skybox that made me think of the "future's past" on another planet.
Belle's "present," the Age of Steam, took us to the Steamlands. These were most fun since it involved hanging out on my favorite sims.
We started at our sim on her airship with The Time Machine a la H.G. Well's, courtesy of The Steam Hunt.
The second stop was The Joy of Steampunk. The Nemo build was a requirement. She makes a cute sailor boy.
Onward to Port Babbage....
Next we came ashore in Port Steelhead, at the exotic El Casbah....
Then it was Ender's time and we started in the "future," a retro 50's sim....
I pulled out a 21st century skybox, and put on my male avi again in honor of my fave fag to hag.
Finally we went all cyberpunk at a truly futuristic sim....
Overall, this act was a super blast! I do not know if the full concept got through, you do what you can in this biz. I did my best to have the monitors pre-rezzed, thanks to a Chewie-tutoring lesson. There were 40 pics on the monitors, changing every 10 seconds, to fill up the length of the song with just a little left over.

For each time period I had 3 pics, for 3 time periods, and 3 diff "lovers." So, yeah, Belle got 4, but she is special.
