What’s the most annoying thing at wedding receptions?
Once you’ve finished shoeing them to within an inch of their lives* you may be relieved to know you can now recreate that experience in Second Life as well! (Playing aeroplanes that is, not the shoeing) Well, not exactly..but this pose, from a series called ‘Balance’, is perfect should you wish to photograph yourself participating in such madness. The pose is from a chap called Idoru Cyberstar ( LOVE the name) aka ‘The Posemaster’ and he’s just released a series of excellent poses for your delectation. The sets are called ‘Balance’, ‘Protect and ‘Sentry’ and individual poses are L$40 each. I think the poses are perfect for storytelling (if you go and take a peek you’ll see what I mean) because they have a narrative quality to them that makes them different to your standard SL modelling pose.I don’t think I’m surprising anyone by stating that the Japanese designers are some of the most creative on the grid..it’s eclectic creativity at it’s best and never ceases to amaze, and ‘The Posemaster‘ seemingly carries on this tradition for a touch of the avant garde (I wonder what the Japanese equivalent for that phrase is?) To round off the Japanese theme I’m wearing a freebie favourite of mine from Honey. I acquired this off XstreetSL a long time ago, BUT I didn’t realise that there was a store on the grid until today. I took a peek and was pleasantly surprised – great value dresses and tops with the same stylish flair, as well as some utterly random gubbins that only Japanese designers could come up with. The prices are great; for example there are some gorgeous dresses for a mere L$50 and the prices are pretty consistent throughout. There’s also some menswear in the shape of jackets and vest tops..not as great a selection but quality nontheless.
There you go then, that’s my contribution to international relations for the day! Right then..where’s that Mojito?

Kittylicious! Amanda Shape
If you’re after a funky tomboy shape that looks great in baggies, tatts and bracers then I think I’ve got *just* the shape for you!
In actual fact, I’ve been planning this shape for a while, and I’m really pleased with the result. It’s inspired by my BB Amanda Shinji, aka Miss Cyberpink..and I’m pretty sure she’ll shit herself when she sees this..hee hee! If you’ve never met her let me start by telling you that Mands is the coolest person I know in SL. Not only that she’s been my rock since Dee passed. She’s done such a lot for me too..she saved me from losing my virtual home for a start. It must sound strange, but even though I have no idea what she looks like in RL, nor have I ever heard her voice, I can say hand on heart that she is 100% the best friend I never thought I’d ever have after losing Dee. That left such a gap, and although Dee could never be replaced I’ve found a friendship just as rewarding, fun and absolutely vital to me..aren’t I lucky? Mands is in a lot of ways my polar opposite, yet don’t you find that it’s often the differences that often make friendships and relationships work so well? What we do share, we share so well: a love of dance music and cats, movies and motorsports amongst other things. I’m so pleased she’s found a wonderful partner in Sable Sunset and it really does make me so proud when I hear her dropping some phat beats down at Republik!
Anyways, enough flannel..if you’re after a funkalicious shape to wear down the club in world this one is DEFO the choice you should make. Amanda features subtle curves and norks that won’t poke your eyes out. The body is well proportioned with lovely legs and a hint of the athletic. I’ll be putting her on sale very soon, and she’ll be on offer at L$50 for a limited period:) I’m wearing her with LAQ skin here and I think she looks bloody lovely..just like the real deal!
Shinjles, this one is for you babes- with lots of love from me, and a heartfelt thank you for everything you do xxx
Who says skinny girls have all the fun?
Not when you’re wearing ‘Cherry Dahling’ they don’t! This is one lovely, squashy, big-bellied and love-handle blessed shape, and isn’t she *GORGEOUS*?
Cherry Dahling takes curves to the extreme and sprinkles some extra nomminess onto them, ESPECIALLY when you team the shape with LAQ skin and hair! I was playing around with ideas for photos when I tried this combination and I was just blown away with it. I think it looks stunning, but that’s because of the craftmanship that goes into LAQ skins. A quality skin + shape are the best investments you’ll make in your Second Life, and skins such as this one don’t come cheap, but quality shapes to wear with them do-from Kittylicious! of course! You can pick up this shape for L$100 at my stall in Malt by clicking on the link to the right of this post, in the sidebar.
