[Justine Babii has totally outdone herself this time - with the ultimate photoshoot of the sexiest avatars in the known metaverse. I don’t even want to think about the lag that these models endured to create these historic pictures - I just know it was totally worth it! - the Editrix]

Most of the credit lies with Siobhan OFlynn, who actually suggested a reunion, but some of that same credit should also go to newcomer Aloe Stradling, who happened to make a comment in the Post 6 Model Group Chat that she was honored to be in the group, which opened the conversation, which led Siobhan to suggest a reunion.
The next thing I knew, I was standing on a deck with a dozen or so of the most beautiful people in Second Life.
It was not long after that that I realized that lag and SL’s performance of late would not help me, and I would not be getting any world class pictures of this group. Instead of lighting, clothing and hair, I just worried about getting everyone more or less in line and happy with their outfit without runaway lag causing the slightest of movements to send a model careening into the group, scattering models like bowling pins. (You can see I didn’t do well with this either, as I think each picture obscures a different model!) Ten minutes into the shoot, I gave up on being Picasso and I opted to get a drink and enjoy the company of these good people.
And wow, it was fun. I got to meet several models whose pictures Marilyn Murphy had taken, and they all got to meet the other models for the first time. I hope I haven’t missed anyone, but those that showed up included Siobhan OFlynn, Cicatrice Oh, Bells Semyorka, Fortunate Szondi, Uma Troell, Musimba Yellowknife, Daeynaries Lane, Aloe Stradling, Aurel Miles, Perphides Capalini, Angelica Ludovico, Patrice Cournoyer, Scarlett Niven and Celebrity Trollop. We talked about SL and the things we do here and what it means to them to have been a Post 6 Model.
Siobhan said, for example, “I thoroughly enjoyed being a Post 6 Grrrl. Posing for Marilyn was a really amazing experience. I’d never had anyone take “professional” pictures of my avatar before and that whole morning was just so special. We talked and laughed so much, it took twice as long as it should have, but I wouldn’t trade that experience for the world. Waiting for the article to appear on Friday night, I had major butterflies in my stomach, I have to admit. It was the riskiest thing I’ve ever done with my avatar in her (now over 4) years in SL.  I wondered if I was doing the right thing “for her.” It was probably the most exciting week I’d ever had in Second Life and I was ultimately very glad I did it. My friends really came through for me in the comments, too. All in all, a positive experience.”
Bells Semyorka echoed Siobhan’s words when she said “I loved being a Post 6 Grrl! Post 6 was something I aspired to do since first reading the Herald in 2006. It meant a lot to have this dream of mine fulfilled.*smiles*Â I also loved reading the comments after my entry I found them to be quite funny, some of my friends have now turned the comments into our own inside jokes. Doing post 6 has made me a braver and a tad stronger, after all I survived the firing squad.”
Though the idea was born of a random comment in a conversation, something fun came out of it, and I look forward to more group get-togethers with the Post 6 Models group in the near future. In fact, if you are a club owner or store owner and would like to host a wild bunch, give me a shout, as I think we’re a party looking for a place to land! If you have posed for Post 6 and are not in the Post 6 Model group and would like another invite, IM me!.
Next week we’ll be back with another new member of the club, until then, I hope you enjoy the mini stroll down memory lane!
