Pose Fair 2012 - It's a couple thing

The third annual Pose Fair still has a few days to run, so I thought I would show you some of the yummy couple poses available. 

(Glitterati - Wrapped)

Glitterati, in my humble opinion, makes some of the best couple and group poses available.  They nearly always fit my shape right out of the box and there are very very rarely ever limbs sticking in places they shouldn't b,e but perhaps most importantly, is Katey Coppola's ability to capture emotion through her work.  The poses above and below are both available from the Glitterati booth at Pose Fair and they are both just so adorable you really do need to have them!

 

(Glitterati - The Whole Day)

 

Pose Fair this year definitely offers a little something for everyone.  Single poses for your every day consumer, gorgeous intimate couple poses such as the two above, family poses and props but.... Pose Fair wouldn't be complete without a little adult fun!  (Please note, this blog is probably NTSFW from here down!)

(Exposeur - Outta Me, Onto You)

I have to admit, I didn't really know very much about Exposeur prior to The Festival of Sin... yes I know.. I live under a rock... but... I had such an awesome time at Festival that I couldn't help but run to Exposeur at Pose Fair to see what goodies were to be had and of course... Ruby didn't disappoint!



(Adorkable & Exposeur - Million Dollar Man)

There are a few fun collaboration pieces available at Pose Fair this year as well that a worth checking out.  This one is from Adorkable and Exposeure and I just love everything about it!

On a side note, I had to bring out my poor male alt today to shoot these photos and I just have to say, I have renewed respect for the male bloggers of our little world.  Your job is tough and so many of you do it so very well!)

Pose Fair runs until April 29th so get your butts over there.

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!

Introducing Leah by Glam Affair

Meet Leah, the newest addition to the Glam Affair skin range, isn't she just lovely?  As anyone who is bored enough to read my blog would know, i'm a huge fan of Glam Affair skins, awaiting each new release with baited breath and it seems with each new skin I find a new favourite.  Leah is no exception, quite possibly my favourite Glam Affair skin to date, from the subtle make up options to the gentle smattering of freckles across her cheeks, she is just so perfect in every way. 

Leah comes in 5 tones with 3 different eyebrow options, 13 different makeups, 3 freckle layers and and an additional 20+ lipsticks for you to mix it up a little... how is that for choice?

Leah is available from Glam Affair right now, so jump on the taxi and get demoing

I believe in pink. 

I believe laughing is the best calorie burner.

I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.

M is for medley

As you may have heard Squinternet Larnia, the fabulous designer behind Donna Flora, has been exceptionally unwell fighting a nasty battle with an even more horrible disease, so when I saw Cajsa Lilliehooke was organising a little tribute/ pick me up A - Z Challenge, I knew I just had to be a part of it.  I scored the letter M (great choice, I must say!)

I don't know Squinternet personally, but I do have a great deal of admiration for the stunning collection of designs, both clothes and jewellery, that she contributes to our second lives.  Designers bring so much colour to our world here and the opportunity to try and bring a little bit of happiness to her at a time she really needs it, was simply too much to pass up. So Squinternet, stay strong, fight hard and get well soon, but in the mean time, know that there is an entire community sending positive thoughts your way.

And so they laugh at the sad sad clown

There is a new event taking place right now called Epoch Legend and if you haven't visited yet, then quite seriously, stop whatever you are doing and goooo, it is fabulous!  The event is divided into three sections (landmarks to all sections are available from the Creators Cafe) and Maylee Oh of The Secret Store has released this stunning Circus outfit for the event.  So often in Second Life I find myself wearing many many items that I wear or would wear in my day to day life, so I had a lot of fun branching out into something new.   The outfit is mesh and includes the hat, the outfit itself and the stockings, and is available in the 5 standard sizes... really go visit, take lots of $$$, you won't regret it.

Just one word caution regarding the Epoch Legend event, many of the builds are mesh and you will need a mesh enabled viewer to attend the event.

The amazing background set that I am using in this picture is a release from Tableau Vivant and you can get one of your very own by visiting Festival of Sin.
