Elvis Presley!

After a lot of people asking me when I was going to make some more male poses, I finally put together the Elvis pack! Not only was Elvis the king of rock and roll, but he brought some moves into the mainstream that middle class America had never seen before. I've taken some of his most famous shots and brought them into SL for you. I hope you enjoy them! :)

Tyra Banks & Anna Nicole Smith Poses!

I'm falling a bit behind so I'm doubling up on posts today. I have a lot of customers suggest different celebrities that they'd like to see, so this week all my pose packs have come from customer suggestions.

First up is Tyra Banks. Not only is she one of the most gorgeous women that I've seen she is also wildy successful. I think almost everyone in the world knows who she is. I couldn't find a lot of photoshoots by her (believe it or not) but I managed to find some poses that I thought really captured her style and strength.

Next is Anna Nicole Smith. It is said that Anna knew from a young age that she was going to be famous and famous she was...also, infamous. Very flamboyant, very sexual...and yet vulnerable. I tried to make these poses capture a little bit of all that. I hope you like them. :)

Stop by Striking Poses and check these out...you won't regret it!

Just A Girl In The World

Today I present to you Gwen Stefani. Have you ever noticed how many different looks she can achieve? Her style encompasses so many different levels I couldn't even begin to list them all, but they are all great as far as I'm concerned. One thing I learned about Gwen after viewing numerous photoshoots is that she can achieve "art" with just her looks. It's like she is walking talking art. I think she is probably the only person I've ever seen that strikes me that way.

Anyway, come visit Striking Poses and strike a pose with Gwen. Let's see what kind of art you can achieve! :D

Fergalicious!

This week I give you FERGIE! Now I have to admit, I had never even heard a Fergie song until I started working on this pose pack (yeah, I know I live under a rock) and I have to say, I like her music! :D It wasn't hard finding some great shots of her, and hopefully I've been able to capture a little of what makes Fergie so charismatic.

Why don't you go see for yourself how hot you'll look in some Fergie poses? ;)

While you're in the store, be sure to check out the cute new Jennifer Simpson dollarbie.

Caroline in the City!

Ok, so who remembers Caroline in the City? Lea Thompson? I don't know about you, but I used to enjoy watching that show, but never could see what Caroline saw in Richard. lol Oh well. Anyway, you may also know Lea Thompson from the 80's movie, Some Kind of Wonderful...love that movie!

This pose pack was a special request from none other than our beloved hair blogger, Teagan Blackthorne. Teagan bears a "striking" resemblance to Lea, doesn't she? :D

Marilyn Monroe @ Striking Poses!

After much demand, I decided to do another Marilyn Monroe pose pack. What is it about Ms. Monroe that we just can't get enough of? Is it her timeless beauty? Is it all the scandals that rocked her life? Do we just want to save her from her untimely demise? Whatever the reason, our love affair with Marilyn has never and will never die.

I chose some very playful sexy poses for this pose pack. Come on by the store and step into Marilyn's shoes!

Clara Bow comes to Striking Poses!

Today I'm featuring a pose pack based on the lovely legend, Clara Bow. According to the Wikipedia:

"Clara Gordon Bow (July 29, 1905 – September 27, 1965) was an American actress and sex symbol, who rose to fame in the silent film era of the 1920s. Bow was renowned for her sexual magnetism and became known around the world as "The It girl", where "It" was commonly understood to mean sex appeal. Though she was shy and reclusive,[1] she is known as the quintessential flapper."

Can you imagine? Being "The It Girl" of your generation? Well I can't promise these poses will do that for you, but I can tell you that you will look fabulous posing with the 1920's It Girl. ;)

Bette Davis Strikes a Pose!

This week I present to you Bette Davis. I think almost everyone has heard of her. Now Bette was not known as being a great beauty, no, she was a sheer force of nature. She knew she was not what society deems as "beautiful" so she used her brains and incredible talent to catapult herself to stardom. Today she remains as a legend. I was able to find some wonderful pictures of Bette and this is my small tribute to her legend. :)
