.. last call for a pose ..

Events in Second Life can often introduce us to new creators and exhibitors.  Pose Fair 2017 is no exception.  This event introduced me to quite a few new pose creators.  The two that I am featuring today both are offering Bento hand poses – a fun way to express ourselves.

First up is a single pose from a great pose set from GingerFish Poses. This set is called Smoked and includes a cigarette prop.  The poses come in regular and petite as well as with mirrors.  While smoking isn’t good for you and I certainly do not want to advocate it as a real life habit… I do like the hand poses with this set.  In fact, you could use this one without the prop as well.  In this pic, I am also wearing a great dress from *Cygnet’s Dreams* now at Fantasy Faire.

The second pose that I am featuring is a fun pose set for friends from BellePoses. This set also has Bento poses for the hands.  The pose balls are not linked and very easy to line up.  In our case, there was no adjustment needed which was great!

Pose Fair 2017 is still open with so many of the amazing Second Life pose creators all together in one place to display their creations!  Both of the poses above can be found at Pose Fair 2017 until April 29th.

.. come with me to the beach ..

A day at the beach with a close friend… sunbathing, reading the latest mags, dipping our toes now and then in the ocean, loads of gossip and so many laughs… this is a great way spend a warm spring day.  Still not too hot and the fresh air is so enjoyable.  A cooler close by to ensure we have all the drinks we need and a dog to run on the beach with, what more could you ask for?

041817 wwinxandflair friendsThe pose for two avatars shown above is from Winx & Flair and called Summer Secrets. It is a great girlfriend pose and could be used at the beach, at the house, or in the grass.  It’s adjustable and easy to fit for both of our avis.  

Sometimes when you are at the beach, you are lucky enough to watch the surfers, paddleboarders and even skimboarders.  Occasionally, one of the guys might catch your eye and you spend the afternoon hanging out… maybe he offers to teach you to surf or you just enjoy watching him swim out and surf back in.  Either way, if you are enjoying, hopefully you have the opportunity to stick around and enjoy the sunset into the horizon – a beautiful way to end the day at the beach.

041817 senses couple 70 Pose FairThe above pose and prop are from ::: Senses :::, a pose shop new to me.  This set is Couples pose 70 and it is was perfect for beach pose.  The only adjustment that was needed for our avis was with the surfboard.  The board was transfer so I was able to hand it off to Sol for the pic which made it easier to adjust. 

Pose Fair 2017 is open now with so many of the amazing Second Life pose creators all together in one place to display their creations!  Both of the poses above can be found at Pose Fair 2017 until April 29th.

.. going back in time ..

Sometimes you find a great outfit in Second Life that you just want to talk about.   I found the “Shirley” dress by !gO! at the Shiny Shabby round that opened today.  I generally love Gocha Merlin’s creations and this dress is no exception. It has an 1920’s vibe and the fit for my Maitreya body worked perfectly.  The texture is great and the bow is just perfect.

blog-022017-1920s-new-york-project-2

I decided it would be a great item to blog so I had to think of a good location.  I remembered that I had recently seen  that Jogi Schultz of Schultz Bros. had been building a early 20th century New York City for roleplay – and off I headed to the 1920’s New York Project.  Based upon the website, I knew that the project had recently been moved over to a full sim so I wanted to check it out.  The build is looking great even though it is still ‘in progress’.  It is definitely a scene that lends to an active role play story and adventure.

Initially you land in a train or subway station which looks great and provides the necessary information. As you ascent up the stairs, you will see a ticket booth attendant patiently ready to serve.  You then have the choice to teleport down to the project.  The build has an elevated railway, some great shops that are perfect for the era, a night club, coffee houses, cafes and a ballroom.  There is a waterfront with a park where you can just relax and visit with a passerby.  The textures are realistic and the architecture is quite true to life as well.

If you choose to visit, please note that you do have to be dressed appropriately for the era and if you haven’t had a chance to pick up this awesome dress by !gO!, you will find freebies at the entry point.
