Pose Fair 2012 - A little bit of country

(Lost Angle Industries - Fence)

I had a pretty great childhood growing up about 100Km north of Brisbane in what, at the time, was a pretty rural area.  We had more animals then you could poke a stick at including horses, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, genie pigs and the occasional frilly necked lizard. I believed learning to to drive by scooting around the paddock on the rider mower was perfectly acceptable,   I believed that goon a fortune (think cheap and nasty cask wine pegged to mum's hills hoist) always made for an entertaining evening and to this day I still believe the kindness with which you treat an animal speaks volumes about your character.  Yes, you could say I'm a bit of a country girl at heart, so when i see country inspired props in Second Life, i always feel a tug at the hearts strings and just can't walk past them.  Fortunately for me, the third annual Pose Fair offered up country inspired props that would make any wannabe cowgirl's knees quiver!

Lost Angel Industries launched an entire new spring collection at Pose Fair and every prop is just amazing.  The Fence prop (which is the in the above photo) comes with 10 individual poses, which are all fantastic!  There is also a group version available which is just as much fun.  Great as both a pose prop and a decorator item, it was definitely one of my must haves.

(Lost Angel Industries - Straw Bales)

Another fabulous country prop is of course some good old straw bales also from Lost Angel Industries.  Use it by yourself or drag some friends along, this prop comes with 8 poses, some subtle, some quirky and all a little bit fun!

(Captivity Co - Mesh Horse)

I fell in love with this Horse prop from Captivity Co the second I saw it.  With 10 different texture / coat options and 5 inbuilt poses, it really is just adorable!

Pose Fair is open now and runs until the 5th of May.  If you haven't been yet, you really must go.... right now... that's an order!

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Sepia

I think I may have actually clawed my way back to the current week's challenge, go me!

For the love of lindens, it has been an expensive week!  So, you've heard about this 'little' store called Mon Tissu right?  I have been waiting with baited breath for their opening since I saw the very first teaser pictures on plurk and O...M...G, i'll have one of everything in each colour kthankx :p   Thennnn Glam Affair goes and releases their new Jadis skin and it is stunning!  I don't buy fatpacks of skins often, I usually just grab the 'clean' version so i can tinker with makeups myself, but after demoing the Jadis skins, i snapped that fatpack up faster than you can blink.  Soooo long story short, after my little spending spree, my Sepia colour post just had to show off my new stuffs!

Welcome to the master plan

We are the face of a new generation

We are the ones who have no reservation

Don't give a damn 'bout  your cold calculation

Welcome to the master plan

Don't care if you understand

I've had a long running love affair with the jewellery made by Mister Naith Smith of NSD but when I saw this jacket, I knew instantly, that this affair was about to extend to his clothing line too!  There are three new jackets available in his store now but the Gallagher would have to be my favourite.  With the option to wear the hood up or down, extra modifiable bits included so you don't have to worry about forgetting to copy them and an overall super comfy feel.... it's definitely a winner.

To have stars in your eyes and a thorn in your side

You don't know what it feels like

Staring out your window, counting headlights

Lyrics from Counting Headlights by Liam Titcomb

Nothing burns like a memory

A picture book and a pile of your clothes

You and me going up in smoke

A sure fire way of letting go

Yeah nothing burns like a memory

Lyrics from Nothing burns like a memory by Heidi Newfield

Dirty little freaks

So raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways,

All my underdogs,

We will never be anything but loud and nitty gritty,

Dirty little freaks,

Won't you come on and raise your glass...

I've had a few people lately ask where my skin is from because I don't credit it in every post.  This isn't because I want to take anything away from the wonderful designer or because I don't want to share it.  I don't change my skin all that often and I will always credit it when I do like I did way back here.  So if I haven't credited it in a while, it's pretty safe to assume I'm still using the same one.  But for those that are wondering Atomic's Audri Abyss 2 in porcelain by the amazingly talented Miss Ivy Graves is currently rocking my skin world.

Lyrics from Raise Your Glass by P!nk

Love is evol, spell it backwards, I'll show ya

Cause you just did the impossible, gained my trust,

Don't play games, it'll be dangerous if you fuck me over,

Cause if I get burnt, im'a show what's it's like to hurt,

Cause I've been treated like dirt befor'ya

And love is evol, spell it backwards, I'll show ya...

Tee*fy is a brand I discovered at The Dressing Room and i love love love them.  They only have a small range at the moment but I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with next.   My next shout out for the day has to go to Kookie!  These shoes aren't new but they are new to me, I only found them yesterday and thus far, I'm refusing to take them off...  <3!
