(Sorry for barbarian English :D)
I’m leaving my SL projects. Freak Show will be closed after our last show, GODart.
Freak Show has been an amazing adventure inside feelings, arts, provocations, people, and I’ll bring it in my heart forever. During last months many things changed. Inside of me and outside of me. I understood SL users are fed up with SL pictures, they love to create more complex experiments, like machinima, RL pictures, sculptures, performances and much more. I told with many people during this period, overall people that followed me ever. Same feeling. Art through SL pictures is over. I don’t think this is a bad thing, cause people are tempted to imagine something else. Like moving images, or 3d sculptures. More fantasy, more passion. This is a good thing for art connected to SL. Inside of me, something changed. I understood Freak Show time is ended. We did three showrooms: Freaks VS Beauty Paranoia, Pornosophy and now, GODart. I’m so satisfied. However, Freak Show born like a pictures show, and cause of this global perception, it has to been closed.
My relation with SL changed. Maybe cause I have so many things to do in RL, maybe cause I left Flickr, maybe cause my feelings with people I met on SL changed. Sometimes you have to understand when you have to finish a period of your life. I feel this, Freak Show time is ended.
In spite of that, I’ll ever support SL and Virtual Art, with or without Freak Show. My IM will be always open to help people to promote artistic events, to join projects and to bring SL art outside of Metaverse.
And maybe, one day, I'll do something else (yes, I’ve already some ideas :D).
And these are, for now, my projects:
1) To gather all works together I'm creating an interesting project @ ItaliaSL sim. Thanks to this fantastic builder, Miskat Qinan. He is one of the best builders of SL, I love him and his work. (And also thanks to Jacopo Perenti, owner of ItaliaSL, who gave us space for this project.)
This building will be called: FREAK SHOW MUSEUM. Structure is amazing, all made by Miskat; he realized a divine project, and I love atmosphere he was able to give it. You can see all our galleries there, Freaks VS Beauty Paranoia, Pornosophy and GODart (when we'll finish the show on my land). We'll do a fucking cool closing party, so stay tuned, a lot of fun is waiting for you!
Freak Show Museum will be here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/ItaliaSL/163/164/1148
This is the introduction about the structure by Miskat Qinan.
The FREAKShow FACTORY
developed by | endless | by Miskat Qinan
Her concept FREAKShow has been revolutionary from the start and her policy of showing art without selection and censorship sure have shown us the wide spectrum of what people consider art.
FREAKShow lets the spectator decide. There is a place for everything. And in that way it also becomes a showcase of the variety and diverse talent of Second Life.
It shows me one of the reasons why SL is so addictive for many. You can show your vision, share your work. And this in ways never possible for many in their first lives.
This sums up pretty much why I am honoured to have been asked to modify one of my existing builds and have it used as the FREAKShow FACTORY (museum).
With the third show coming up, the factory will eventually permanently host the first 3 ‘generations’ of FREAKShow.
Within the factory, which functions as a museum and event location another space can be found.
It is a replica of Elwyn, the hidden garden named after the man who kept alive while others attempted to destroy it. Loglady specifically requested this to be in ‘her factory’ as well.
I am proud that the work amazing works created by so many is now hosted in one of my builds and that I could have add a little world outside of the factory creating the atmosphere that will help give FREAKShow its legacy.

2) About location for GODart: I bought a 6000 mq land, and there we'll do the show. I'm building this place in line with theme of the show, I hope you’ll like it. When GODart will be finished, I’ll move all works on Freak Show Museum, so people could come to visit all entries together.

FREAK SHOW PRESENTS
GODart - between sacred and profane

[ENG]
Tell me what is your religion.
Religion is not only a spiritual organization with symbols, beliefs and practices. Religion is linked to Trascendental and Spiritual concepts, and also with the consciousness of the Limit of Human Mind. Who believes in no-one over us, who believes in a Thinking Entity that rules the world, who doesn’t care about the meaning of life, who thinks that Religious Institutions are only a way to control people, joined into the same symbol. Who needs Religion to live better, who entrusts all the life to God. In the name of God history took place; wars, homicides, love, humanity, help, solidarity, lies, power, self-improvement.
Religion defines our culture, traditions, hates; Religion creates rules and liberty; Religion can be destructive or creative.
Tell me in what you believe. Show me your personal concepts of Religion. Do it through SL medium, this blank canvas available for you, in which you can explain your idea with freedom.
I know, it’s another hard theme, full of delicate arguments. No censor as always, everyone can explains own vision of Religion and Faith. And I want to underline that a different thought about Religion is not offensive, but only personal. And we have to respect all different points of view. Cause world is various, and this show wants to link all this concepts together.
So, show me your GODart, the art of God, even if you think he is dead ![]()
This will be the first Artistic Showroom about the concept of God. God as faith, God as life, God as hate, God as an Entity or as Caos, God as Nature or as Organization. Your Religion: past, present, future. Utopia, Reality, or only.. Myth.
To Join: leave a comment here or IM Loglady Loon.
As always, only one work, fullperms into a box with a facultative note. Work has to be unpublished.
Send it to Miss Faina Cortes.
No selection, no censor, only freedom.

Raccontami qual’è la tua religione.
La Religione non è solo un’organizzazione spirituale con simboli, credenze e pratiche. La Religione è connessa a concetti trascendentali e spirituali, ma anche alla consapevolezza dei limiti della mente umana. Chi crede che non ci sia nessuno sopra di noi, chi crede a un’entità pensante che regola il mondo, chi non si preoccupa del significato della vita, chi pensa che le Istituzioni Religiose siano solo un mezzo per controllare le persone, unite sotto uno stesso simbolo. Chi ha bisogno della Religione per vivere meglio, chi dedica tutta la vita a Dio. Nel nome di Dio la storia prende vita; guerre, omicidi, amore, umanità, aiuto, solidarietà, bugie, potere, accrescimento personale.
La Religione definisce la nostra cultura, le tradizioni, gli odi; la Religione crea regole e libertà; la Religione può essere distruttiva o creativa. Dimmi in cosa credi. Mostrami i tuoi personali concetti di Religione. Fallo attraverso il mezzo Second Life, questa tela bianca disponibile per te, nella quale sei libero di esprimere le tue idee in libertà.
Lo so, è un altro tema molto forte, pregno di argomenti delicati. Niente censura, come sempre, ognuno può esplicitare la propria visione di Religione e Fede. E voglio sottolineare che una visione religiosa differente non è offensiva, ma solo diversa, personale. E noi tutti rispettiamo i punti di vista differenti. Perchè il mondo è vario, e questo show vuole unire tutti questi concetti assieme.
Mostrami la tua GODart, l’arte di Dio, anche se pensi che sia morto ![]()
Questo sarò il primo showroom artistico sul concetto di Dio. Dio come Fede, Dio come Vita, Dio come Odio, Dio in quanto Entità o Caos, Dio in quanto Natura o Organizzazione. La tua Religione: passato, presente, futuro. Utopia, Realtà, o solo… Mito.
Per partecipare: lascia un commento qui o imma Loglady Loon.
Come sempre, un solo lavoro, fullperms dentro un box con nota allegata facoltativa. Il lavoro deve essere inedito.
Inviatelo a Miss Faina Cortes. Niente selezione, niente censura, solo libertà.

Diga-me qual é a sua religião.
Religião não é apenas uma organização espiritual com símbolos, crenças e práticas. A religião está ligada a conceitos Transcendenais e Espirituais, e também com a consciência do Limite da Mente Humana. Quem acredita em ninguém por cima de nós; quem acredita em uma Entidade Pensante que governa o mundo; os que não se preocupam com o sentido da vida; os que pensam que Instituições Religiosas são apenas uma forma de controlar as pessoas, estão juntos no mesmo símbolo. Quem precisa de religião para viver melhor; quem confia toda a vida a Deus. Em nome de Deus a História teve lugar: guerras, homicídios, amor, humanidade, ajuda, solidariedade, mentiras, poder, auto-aperfeiçoamento.
Religião define nossa cultura, tradições, ódios; Religião cria regras e liberdade; Religião pode ser destrutiva ou criativa.
Diga-me aquilo em que você acredita. Mostre-me o seu conceito pessoal de Religião. Faça-o através do meio do Second Life, esta tela em branco à sua disposição, na qual você pode explicar a sua idéia livremente.
Eu sei, é um outro tema difícil, cheio de argumentos delicados. Sem censura, como sempre, toda as pessoas podem explicar as suas próprias visões de Religião e Fé. E quero salientar que um pensamento diferente sobre a religião não é ofensivo, mas apenas pessoal e temos de respeitar todos os pontos de vista diferentes. Pois o mundo é variado, e este espetáculo pretende ligar todos estes conceitos em conjunto.
Então, mostre-me a sua GODart, a arte de Deus, mesmo se você acha que Ele está morto.
Esta será o primeiro Showroom Artístico sobre o conceito de Deus. Deus, como fé, Deus, como vida, Deus, como o ódio, Deus como uma entidade ou como Caos, Deus como Natureza ou como Organização. Sua Religião: passado, presente, futuro. Utopia, Realidade, ou apenas… Mito.
Para aderir: IM Loglady Loon in-world.
Como sempre, apenas um trabalho, full perms, em uma caixa com uma nota explicativa. Os trabalhos devem ser inéditos.
Envie-o para Miss Faina Cortes.
Nenhuma seleção, sem censura, apenas a liberdade.

PORNOSOPHY - The project

What I have to do? CREATE A PORN PICTURE, UNPUBLISHED, AND SEND IT FULLPEMRS TO MISS FAINA CORTES, INTO A BOX (FULLPERMS the box too) WITH A NOTE ABOUT THE PIC (note is optional). SHOWROOM WILL TAKE PLACE INWORLD, NOT IN FLICKR.
[ENG]
Sex is the engine of the world. Sex is necessary to our body and our mind. Sexual desire makes us human and lets us survive. But most of all, we love sex.
Pornography is the explicit representation of all the above. Unlike erotism, pornography does not hide behind intellectual standards, it is not censored, there is not emotion, it is just a mere physical act, perfect and wonderful.
In pornography we can find the truth, in pornography we bare ourselves and our perversions, without conflicts or shame.
This kind of representation has always existed in men's history, and it is also the oldest. The first pornographer in history was the painter painter Parrasios, who lived at the times of Socrates, he was in love with the prostitute Theodora and painted her naked (in Greek "painter of prostitute" = pórnē gráphos). With the passing of the centuries the figure of the prostitute developed, and she brought with her interesting representations. We would like to recall the huge success of the closed houses in the history of the world, the specialized magazines and porno movies.
That said, I do not understand why one cannot pursue knowledge here on Second Life as well.
That is why we would like to organize a pornographic exhibition, here at Freak Show. Total freedom of expression, no boundaries of historical time, only exhibitionism and perversion. A way to share together what we have more intimate and valuable. We do not expect many entries, we are aware that this theme is delicate and persona. It is a challenge. Yes I am challenging you again! I challenge to bare yourselves, to show some balls and to express yourselves through the Art of pornography. Because this is what this is about, Art. Many of you are already doing this, some don't do anything else. I am talking to you but most importantly to who has never done it. This second life is worth being lived too.
Thanks Mavi Beck for translation

Il sesso è il motore del mondo. Il sesso è indispensabile al nostro corpo e alla nostra mente. Il desiderio sessuale ci rende umani e ci permette di sopravvivere. Ma soprattutto, il sesso ci piace.
La pornografia è la rappresentazione esplicita di tutto questo. A differenza dell'erotismo, quest'ultima non si nasconde dietro canoni intellettuali, non è sottoposta a censure, non c'è emotività, è un puro atto fisico, perfetto e meraviglioso. Nella pornografia ritroviamo la verità, nella pornografia mettiamo a nudo noi stessi e le nostre perversioni, senza conflitti, senza vergogna.
Questo genere di rappresentazione è sempre esistita nella storia dell'uomo, ed è anche la più antica. Il primo pornografo della storia fu il pittore Parrasio, vissuto ai tempi di Socrate, che innamorato della prostituta Teodora la dipinse nuda (in greco "pittore di prostituta" = pórnē gráphos). Col passare dei secoli si è sviluppata la figura della prostituta, che ha portato con sè interessanti raffigurazioni. Ricordiamo l'enorme successo delle case chiuse nella storia di tutto il mondo, fino ad arrivare ai giornali specializzati e ai film pornografici.
Detto questo, non capisco perchè non si possa portare avanti la conoscenza anche qui su Second Life.
Ed è per questo che vogliamo organizzare una mostra pornografica, qui al Freak Show. Totale libertà d'espressione, nessun vincolo di tempo storico, solo esibizionismo e perversione. Un modo per condividere assieme quello che abbiamo di più intimo e prezioso. Non ci aspettiamo troppe adesioni, siamo coscienti che questo tema sia delicato e personale. E' una sfida. Sì vi sfido di nuovo! Vi sfido a mettervi a nudo, a tirare fuori le palle e ad esprimere voi stesso attraverso l'Arte della pornografia. Perchè di questo si tratta, Arte. Molti di voi lo stanno già facendo, c'è chi non fa altro. Io parlo a voi ma soprattutto a quelli che non lo hanno mai fatto. Anche la seconda vita vale la pena di essere vissuta.
[FR]
Le sexe est le moteur du monde. Le sexe est nécessaire à notre corps et à notre esprit. Le désir sexuel nous rend humains et nous permet de survivre. Mais avant tout, nous aimons le sexe.
La pornographie est la représentation explicite de tout ce qui précède. A la différence de l'érotisme, la pornographie ne se cache pas derrière des standards intellectuels, elle n'est pas censurée, il n'y a pas d'émotion, c'est juste un acte physique, parfait et merveilleux.
Dans la pornographie se cache la vérité, dans la pornographie nous nous mettons à nu, nous et nos perversions, sans conflits ni honte.
Cette forme de représentation a toujours existé dans l'histoire de l'humanité, et c'en est également la plus ancienne. Le premier pornographe de l'histoire fut le peintre Parrasios, qui vécut au temps de Socrate, il était amoureux d'une prostituée nommée Théodora et la peignait nue (en grec, "celui qui peint des prostituées" = pórnē gráphos). Comme les siècles passaient, l'image de la prostituée a évolué, et a donné lieu à d'intéressantes représentations. Nous voudrions rappeler l'immense succès des maisons closes dans l'histoire du monde, des magazines spécialisés et des films pornographiques.
Ceci étant dit, je ne comprends pas pourquoi on ne pourrait pas poursuivre cette recherche de connaissance dans Second Life également.
C'est pourquoi nous aimerions organiser une exposition pornographique, à Freak Show. Liberté totale d'expression, aucune contrainte d'époque, rien que de l'exhibitionnisme et de la perversion. Une façon de partager ce que nous avons de plus intime et de plus précieux. Nous ne nous attendons pas à beaucoup d'exposants, nous sommes conscients que ce thème est délicat et personnel. C'est un défi. Oui, je vous lance à nouveau un défi ! Je vous mets au défi de vous mettre à nu (de vous mettre nu), de montrer du courage (d'avoir des couilles), et de vous exprimer au travers de l'Art de la pornographie. Parce que bien de cela dont il s'agit, d'Art. Beaucoup d'entre vous le font déjà, certains ne font même que cela. Je m'adresse à tout le monde mais surtout à ceux qui ne l'ont jamais fait. Cette seconde vie vaut le coup d'être vécue aussi.
Thanks to Lolaa Shepherd for the translation. I love you sweety, I really appreciate it <3

性,是万物的发动机。性是我们身体+精神的必需品。性欲使我们成为人,让我们生存。但最重要的是,我们热爱性。
色情,是这些的直白表达。和“煽情”不同,色情并不在审美的外衣下遮遮掩掩,不被智力所审查,也没有感情,简单完美到只不过是身体的行为。
在色情中我们找到真相,没有冲突和羞耻,我们暴露出我们自己以及我们的变态。
人类历史中,这样的表达方式从最初就存在。有记载最早的色情艺术家是和苏格拉底同时代的Parrasios,他爱上了妓女Theodora,为她画过裸体 的像。(希腊文里,妓女的画师=pórnē gráphos *【色情】一词的词源)。时光流逝,几十个世纪里,妓女,及其的代言人,一起发展出新的面貌。我们想要唤起藏在历史的大门后面的曾经辉煌 的记忆,色情文学,色情电影。
毕竟,我不理解为什么人们不能在SecondLife里面追求知识。
这就是为什么我们想要在freak show组织色情展览,完全的自由表达,没有界限,只有表现欲和性变态。一个分享的途径,分享我们所私密而珍视的。这个主题敏感又私人,所以我们并不预期 有很多投稿。这是个挑战。哈!我又来挑衅了!看看你敢不敢暴露你自己,显示出一点勇气,通过色情艺术来表达你自己。是的,这是件艺术的事情。你们中的一些 人已经做过之类的事,还有些除了这个什么都不做。当更重要的这个是,我想要挑战那些从来没有做过的人。这样的第二人生值得去过。
Thank to aston for this translation, I'm cryying for that *___* you all rock guysssssssssss!!!
