Justine Babii — Post 6 Grrrrl

[I have very mixed emotions about this particular feature - it marks the end of an era. One of the all-time sexiest avatars in SL, a great friend, and an amazing photographer is posing as a Post 6 Grrrrl - the Herald's highest honor for avatar art. Sadly, this is also Justine's retirement 
. Despite my pleas, the incredible Ms. Babii is stepping aside to spend more time enjoying RL. While this is a bittersweet time for all of the staff at the Herald, it is also a special treat for our readers. Justine - its been a great run and I wish you all the best! - the Editrix]
This week I had two things to do in Second Life. I had to help Jaime Wheeler finish up things in the new issue of SexySecond Magazine, and Ihad to find a model for my last week as the Post 6 Photographer. Yep, that’sit, I’m hanging up the camera.
It has been a lot of fun being the Post 6 Photographer. I’vemet a string of great people who modeled for me week after week. It was also anhonor to meet those models who Marilyn Murphy photographed too. The whole ridehas been a treat and I thank Pixeleen for wrangling me into it.
I’ve had a great time in Second Life in general. I hit theground running and went to work at SLNN,which was full of great people. Then I met Celebrity Trollop and got to workfor the Second Style Magazine and the Fashionistablog which was a great experience too. I’ve been truly blessed here.
So while I recommend Second Life, I’m online less and less. Real Life is getting its claws in me prettygood, and I’m finding I like it. Going out, I thought it would be fitting to dowhat the models have done and pose here for you. Be gentle, I’m thin skinned,as you can see.
Th-that’s all folks, it’s been a lot of fun!

Wow Justine. Fitting you would be one of the prettiest of all the post 6 models. And you have picked some knockouts over the days.
Thanks for your articles and creative offerings to the readers here. May your RL find you happy and may SL find you back again sometime.

I’m so hoping we wont see a series of beginners mistakes again, like improper lighting, background Fups and stuff like that.

Excellent choice of model for your swansong, sexy and beautiful. Twas an honour being your last post six shoot, still doesn’t stop me being sad to see you go.

[...] the first time in ages, and only one of the old gang was online. I haven't been a regular here in years, so I guess this should be no surprise. I IM'd my friend and then ended up hanging out with her. [...]
