Today is my first OFFICIAL blog post for Be My Mannequin? Pose Store! And thus, I have TWO brand new goodies to present to you!
The first pose is portrayed by Vin Raven-Mysterious, the creator of Be My Mannequin? Pose Store, himself, posing for: I Want To Hold You Close. It is a standing, very versatile and unisex single pose! You can find it at the one and only alternative and dark style event: Necrosis and will be there until June 11th! With your purchase, you get the copy/mod pose and poseball, an unlit flashlight, and a clean knife! The flashlight and knife are not shown in the photo but you can check them out on display (and DEMO this epic, versatile pose) at Necrosis! Bonus, its also part of a FATPACK with its sister pose (Lie Still, Close Your Eyes) which you can get 10% off!
The second pose is portrayed by me, using the brand new sit pose: (I Just) Died In Your Arms. It is an in-store release (previously released for the Dark Wednesdays Event) and you can find it at Be My Mannequin? Pose Store's main store or on marketplace on Second Life! Its a unisex, singles sit pose and comes with a shackles bar that attaches directly to your avatar and is super easy to adjust! You can see it in the picture on my wrists! I am in love with how natural this pose is and any prisoner would definitely know their place while in this pose!

"You can't!" I cried, staring out at the beautiful, illuminated planet that was my home world before turning desperate gaze to my captor. Down there were billions of people just living their lives, unaware of the danger above! The unit I had been a part of had been dispatched in secret as not to terrify our people that he was coming to our world. I tried to fight! We all did but we were ambushed and I was taken alive; brought to The Cosmic Tyrant. That's what they call him.
Everyone knew about this guy: he was ruthless and cared about no living thing except himself. And now he was offended by our home world but no one knew why. He'd be beautiful to me if he wasn't the one threatening to destroy everything I loved and held dear.
"I can't?" came that smooth, venomous voice. His piercing eyes turned upon me as a viscous smile curled at his lips. "You want to try that again, Prince?" Our eyes stared into each others and I knew that there was truly nothing I could do at this point to stop him.
With a dark chuckle, the black obsidian that hovered midair over his hands began to spark, dark pink electricity flickering and expanding all around us!
Now I knew I couldn't hold back the fear that lit my eyes. The rumors always said that all is calm, then you see a flash of pink light and then....gone. In a matter of minutes, my home would be nothing but dust floating through space and if I was l lucky, he'd kill me too.
This was it. This is how the world ends.

I've had this idea in my head for a long time. I brought the supplies to the meet up figuring I could probably find somebody that would work good for the photo. Evan ended up making a series with Cameron in the coat and he was the perfect fit for the shot. He even screamed for realz. And the glass in the center actually should be taller than the rest, but the table actually bent that far down under his strength!
Thanks to Sarah, Savannah, and Evan for assisting.
Still have lots more from the meet up, including a 13 part photo-story I haven't even touched yet. (gonna be epic)
This one in its proper habitat, we saw it first in Corpus Critic, Texas. From Wiki:
The relationships of this species and genus to other genera in the tyrant flycatchers are uncertain. It resembles Tyrannus flycatchers, but this may be the result of convergence.

Isaiah 25:4-5 “For you are a protector for the poor, a protector for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the rainstorm, a shade from the heat. Though the breath of tyrants is like a winter rainstorm, like heat in a dry land, you humble the boasting foreigners. Just as the shadow of a cloud causes the heat to subside, so he causes the song of tyrants to cease.”

The bright yellow belly of an actively 'sallying' Western Kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis) is on full display in Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado.
This species of Kingbird is a member of the 'tyrant flycatcher' species group, so named because many of these species are aggressive and more than willing to punch above their weight as they drive away much larger birds that venture too close to their territory. The tyrant group is also the largest taxonomic family of birds in the world, including over 400 species. Here in Colorado the Western Kingbird overlaps with the Eastern Kingbird (T. tyrannus), which we also saw on this particular day. Upon first glance, one might be hard-pressed to make the connection that these two species are closely related as the Eastern Kingbird is largely black and white.
Thanks for looking and commenting!
This photograph captures a Long-tailed Tyrant (Colonia colonus) perched in the coastal rainforest edge of Capurganá, Chocó, Colombia. The bird’s slate-gray body and ivory crown stand out crisply against a softly blurred tapestry of verdant foliage. Its extraordinary tail, nearly twice the length of its body, drifts like a ribbon in the humid morning light, lending the scene a sense of elegant poise and serenity.
I framed this portrait from a low angle to emphasize the tyrant’s regal posture and to isolate it within the lush backdrop. Working handheld with a long telephoto lens, I balanced a fast shutter speed to freeze its subtle shifts and a moderately wide aperture to achieve a creamy bokeh. Metering for gentle highlights preserved delicate feather textures while under-exposing slightly enhanced mood. Controlled breathing and precise timing were essential to capturing this elusive subject at the rainforest’s edge.

This is an immature male vermilion flycatcher. I say immature, because the males start off with a black head and sort of a striped belly and eventually those parts morph to all red. This guy has some black streaks on his crest so I'm thinking just a wee bit immature, but very close to full adulthood. They're so flashy. I love 'em.
In this image, we see a Long-tailed Tyrant (Colonia colonus) perched gracefully on a bare branch in the heart of San Pablo de Borbur, Boyacá, Colombia. The bird’s sleek black plumage contrasts beautifully with its long, striking tail feathers. The blurred green forest backdrop provides a serene atmosphere, highlighting the bird’s striking pose. I used a Canon R5 with an RF 800mm lens and a 1.4x extender, shooting at 1/180 second, f/16, and ISO 800 to capture the intricate details and ensure sharpness in the bird's tail, a key feature of the species.
The challenge in capturing this image was balancing the low light of the forest with the need for a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the motion of this active species. The smooth background draws focus to the bird, while the composition allows for appreciation of both the Tyrant’s long tail and its signature upright posture. As a photographer, moments like these remind me of the importance of patience and the thrill of discovering such elegant creatures in the wild.

An Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus) rests on top of a mullein stalk, taking a break from picking off flying insects that happened to catch its eye. During the summer Eastern Kingbirds are usually solitary, aggressively defending breeding territory (thus the tyrant moniker), inhabiting pastures and meadows of North America. In the winter they migrate to South America where they live tropical forests, occurring in flocks, and mostly subsisting on fruit.

Did a birding trip with Rodrigo Reyes of Birdwatching Chile. From pelagic to the mountain environment in the Andes, we got great views of a large number of interesting birds, including many endemics. Great trip, and I strongly recommend Rodrigo.
This tiny, beautiful bird occurs in montane forest all along the Andes, but occurs more generally in Patagonia right down to the coast. But they did not seem particularly common, and they were always on the move when I saw them so never easy to connect with. I photographed this individual in a Southern Beech (Nothofagus) woodland in Tierra del Fuego National Park in southern Argentina. This one shows off his amazing crest particularly well. The tyrant part of their name is because they are in the suboscine passerine family Tyrannidae, given that name because the first named species in this family was a bit of a bully (Eastern Kingbird) and was also known as "Tyrant".

The tufted tit-tyrant is a species of bird in the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae. This species is found in western South America; its range stretches from southern Colombia south along the Andes mountains to Tierra del Fuego. Territorial, it defends it 's territory from other of the species.
A beautiful display of the streamer-tailed tyrant!
Wishing everyone a great weekend!

This is a gray flycatcher that posed nicely for me on a very warm Sunday afternoon. Guess what it does for a living? That's right. It catches flies. Good birdie!

The bird was silent.
"The Tyrant flycatchers (Tyrannidae) are a clade of passerine birds which occur throughout North and South America. They are considered the largest family of birds on Earth, with more than 400 species. They are the most diverse avian family in every country in the Americas, except for the United States and Canada. Tyrant
As could be expected from a family this large, the members vary greatly in shape, patterns, size and colours. Some Tyrant flycatchers superficially resemble the Old World flycatchers which they are named after but are not related to. They are members of suborder Tyranni (suboscines), which do not have the sophisticated vocal capabilities of most other songbirds.
Most, but not all, species are rather plain, with various hues of brown, grey and white commonplace."kaieturnewsonline
A T-Rex robot has been on the build list for a while now. Not overly happy with the black sensor "face"; it's supposed to be a downward-facing LIDAR with a side-mounted radome but it seems a bit messy or unresolved?
Last winter, thanks to a tip, I was able to see one of these elusive tiny tyrants in the wild: a northern saw-whet owl. We knew the general location but he was a challenge to find deep in the cedar tree. Eventually I realized he was sitting on some prey! If you look in the lower right corner you can see a little rodent foot! We took some photos then left him alone to snooze. Not the greatest photo here but at least his face is in focus and you can partially see his yellow eye. I can assure you this little owl caught his own meal; no baiting involved. I have seen cached meals before but never a situation like this! We learned earlier this year that this extensive cedar grove had been cut down, as the nature refuge wants to encourage return of prairie habitat.
