I have had this picture on my desktop for about two weeks now; I’ve been trying to think of a really substantial quote for a cause I totally support. But alas, my troll brain wasn’t playing nice and I was struggling to find inspiration…
So I looked at my Stand4Love post from last year, and realised I’d actually said then what I needed to say.
My feelings haven’t changed, so my quote remains the same.
We all need to make a Stand4love.
You know, we’re really lucky in Second Life to have such a great variety of pose creators in-world. They share their wonderful poses and props with us so that we can convey a myriad of actions, emotions and activities on our blogs and in our photographs. We’d be lost without them.
I’m always eager to find new poses, and I was DELIGHTED by Gidge Uriza’s latest pose collection that was released this week.
Gidge is the talent behind the ‘Pretense’ label (love the name, was formally Status Poses) and released a five pose pack called ‘Styptic’, and it’s sublime. It’s all about simple, fluid poses for when you want to look naturally posed in your photographs. The transitions between poses are gentle and they work wonderfully well; I’m really loving them.
You may be surprised to learn that it is actually incredibly difficult to create well-balanced, natural poses, but Gidge has risen to the challenge and met it head on with gusto. These are just fabulous.
I think ‘Styptic’ going to be my favourite pose set for a while to come, and an essential pack for bloggers to have in their inventory. Well done Gidge, I’m really looking forward to your next Pretense release!
*Styptic five pose set costs L$200, demos are available in store. HIGHLY recommended!*

The very best monthly group gifts, in my humble opinion of course, come from IKON.
Because each month VIP group members are treated to a new pair of eyeballs from this exemplary brand.
The gift is available between the first week of each month, and is ALWAYS spectacular.
Granted, you know that you’re going to get a pair of eyeballs, but when they’re as awesome as the ones produced by Ikon Innovia it’s always a pleasure to receive them.
This month the gift is a pair of eyes from the ‘Destiny’collection, called ‘Maya’. They’re fantastic; a stunning blend of jade and yellow tones with ribbons of gold. (The collection of 36 eyes is available exclusively at The Boutique until June 10th, after which they will be available in-store)
If I had squillions of Lindens I swear I’d buy every pair in this collection because they are just AMAZING. The colours are all breathtaking and have been perfectly blended to create eyes that glimmer and glisten. The lighting upon the iris is utterly sublime and the size options in every IKON pack mean you can guarantee that your eyes will definitely have‘it’, if ‘it’ is being totally delicious. ( I tend towards the ‘M’ size)
If you aren’t a VIP group member, then poddle along to IKON now and join up and get these awesome eyes while you have the chance.
I promise you’ll be captivated by them.
