Another good Shop at Harlow

Hello fellow readers,

I’m posting today to tell you about a really nice shop that has just been rented on Harlow, and just for this post I’ll be talking about shops instead of Jordan.
Blush & Bashful Boutique is a new shop here in Harlow at the Docks, and I have to admit I’m happy about this shop opening, why? The owner of this store is a very good friend of mine, Gigi Sapeur.

She is an excellent designer, her clothes are always of good quality, the textures and hand work are perfect. She always puts in realistic details into her designs making it hard to resist buying them all. Also just to add she has very reasonable prices!

I have had the pleasure to model some of her work in the past and I just love it, and today I am going to show you how good she is.
As the summer is starting here where I live, I got the “Peacock Bathing Suit” a lovely and very sophisticated one piece swimwear in a lovely pastel green colour with 2 peacocks on the front ;).



(Pose used here " Maximus # 9)

Now, if you are in a city and want to look chic and casual, this “Lil' Miss Plaid in red” will look lovely on you all, it’s a 2 pieces suit that suits all girls of every skin colour. The kilt top comes with a strapless option and the skirt matches perfectly with the colours of the top, it’s a very nice suit for the beginning of autumn and of course make sure to wear a jacket, if you plan on being out for long time :P



(Pose used here "Sexy as She Goes # 9)

And to finish, I for you something for those days that we don’t want to dress so much, and feel comfortable at home, well, Blush & Bashful has a selection of panties saying “I love you” in many languages like Spanish, Japanese or French :O . The top is not from the set of panties, but I found this great “Beware of Bridezilla tshirt”, clever uh? … and if you take a close-up look you will see the wrinkles in it, as I said before Blush & Bashful has really great clothes collection at wonderful prices.



(Pose used here "Attitude# 2)

If you want to expand your shop with a branch we still have some shops to rent, take a look to the info and if you want to see any in game, taxies are waiting for you.

Hump Day Quicky!

Just have a short post for you today to make up for the novels we've been posting lately lol.

Pose - International Model 11 #6
Wearing - Red Carpet in Rouge from MEB

Omg how gorgeous is this gown??? Its the premier release from the winter collection from MEB due for release mid-November. If the rest of the collection is anything like this, its going to be an incredible season! The detail that has gone into this gown is amazing. From the delicate ruching to the jewel touch on the shoulder, its a simple, elegant gown, and sure to make you look a million lindens on a special night with your someone. The colour is amazing too...and I'm not a big fan of red, but I loved this shade! Heck I just love this gown!

Wearing - Guenevere Set in Silver from Aluinn

Gorgeous jewellry sets are another weakness of mine, and the new Guenevere sets from Aluinn have just rocketed to the number one spot on my favourites list. The detailing and design is impeccible and this is one set that looks just as good from the back as it does from the front, so its perfect to wear with your favourite updo and strapless gown. In a choice of gold or silver metal, its one set you will want in both. I wonder if I can get away with wearing it with jeans and a tshirt?

Pose - International Model 6 #7
Wearing - Pumpkin Ensemble from Rainbow's End

Perfect for this time of year is the pumpkin ensemble from Rainbow's End. I got such a smile on my face when I popped it on and just had fun watching the smilie pumpkin faces as I moved around. Complete with pumps, pumpkin pasties and full body pumpkin tatts, its just a fun outfit for this time of year.

Told you I would be short and sweet today. I haven't had a chance to edit the rest of my pictures, so I will save them for Saturday!

Check out the list of vacancies Ake posted yesterday if you are interested in joining us here on Harlow. I know I can't wait to see what she will be posting next - especially if its teasers about new poses from Zelly!

After Party :)

Here we go!

Good day fellow readers,

Today I have zillions of photos to show you, all from our very successful Harlow Costumed Scavenger Hunt Party … *breath*

A lot of people were around and we all really had great fun, I must confess I was kind of busy taking the pictures, but that is the photographer job … it is not a party if you don’t have a picture to show, right?

So … first at all I am going to congratulate our 2 winners, eKitten Magic, she won the scavenger hunt running all over the sim with her 2 headed baby and pram and not to forget smoking her cigarette! Well don eKitten! And our Best in Costume winner Kyrian Lafavre, wearing an adorable puppet dress with spiders and all that stuff … has to be the best Halloween costume so far :D



We had a real mixture of costumes and I am sure you didn’t realise that we had a real vampire in among us at the party, thankfully he was kind and didn’t bite us ;)
So, more to see, I will add some pictures and you can find the rest on my flickr ^^

Enjoy them!











We still have some shops to rent, take a look to the info and if you want to see any in game, taxies are waiting for you.

With 100 Prims $500.wk we have

Store 35
Store 41 (this store it won't be vacant till Friday

Manic Monday Goodies!

Wow the party at Harlow was a hoot yesterday. So many creative and fabulous costumes and the Scavenger Hunt was a blast too. Congrads to the winner of the best costume, Kyrian Lefavre, who took home the $3,000 and to eKitten Magic, who won the Scavenger Hunt and all the goodies that was in the prize pack. Tydeyz had the sim rocking out and Rhianna kept the fun going. Thanks to all who came by for the fun time we all had.

I'm still recovering from Zelly not being blonde! What a shocker that was!!! Even more shocking them me just dressed in bubbles!

Now on to the great finds I have hunted out for you on Harlow this week.

Pose - Working The Camera #10
Wearing - Hail Storm from XTC

Yummy yummy yummy! I just cannot get enough of XTC and leather! New this week is Hail Storm, a fabulous mix of black and white leather which makes up this sexy and fashionable outfit. The black corset and patch on the butt breaks up and highlights the sexy white leather and makes this an outfit you will love to live in.

Pose - Camera Candy #9
Wearing - Good/Bad Girl Tee for D3 and Distressed Leather Choker, Bangles and Cuffs from Zaris

I love T-Shirts, especially funny and clever ones. New from D3 comes a range of "Good Girl Gone Bad" shirts in a range of colours which go so well with your favourite jeans, leather pants, or even a sexy little skirt. I dressed them up with the new Distressed Leather range of jeweelry from Zaris. They are just perfect for a more goth or rock look.

Pose - Full Tilt #1
Wearing - Reaper Remixed Shirt from Insatiable Fashions

Perfect for this time of year comes a sexy low cut shirt from Insatiable Fashions. You can never have too many tees, so check out this store and keep adding to your collection!

Pose - Omg I completely forgot to write this down!
Wearing - Venice Anise from Silk and Satyr and Diamond Hearts in Gold from Zaris

From Silk and Satyr comes another gorgeous gown from their Venice collection. Like the Chianti, which I featured last week, it also comes in a full skirt with gold overlay, but I decided to show off the slimmer skirt with train. The gold touches around the neckline and hem are perfect for the Diamond Hearts set from Zaris. Featuring a solid diamond heart with a chain down to a dangling open diamond encrusted heart. Its just a beautiful set that will dress up any outfit or gown.

Pose - Hot Salsa #4
Wearing - Tamara Sundress from Catagory 5

I found this delightful sundress in a pack of three colour options free at Catagory 5 when I was exploring the sim and thought I would share it with you. Its a lovely dress for wearing shopping, hanging out or just wandering around exploring the grid.

Wearing - Abnormal Brain Hat from Fire Good

Another fun item from Fire Good is the abnormal brain hat. A large, colour changing brain sits up on your head, and poofs out brains and stars when you click on it. Its another one of those things that amuses me no end and makes SL more interesting and fun!

We have a few vacancies at the moment, so if you are looking for a fabulous new home for your store, come on by and check the sim out.

Midweek Fabulousness From Harlow!

Getting excited about the Scavenger hunt yet? I know we at Harlow are. I haven't even begun thinking about a costume yet...cos I just have so many to choose from. How do you decide something like this? Good or bad? Scary or sexy? Ack too many decisions!

Pose - Sultry #7
Wearing - Jordan : Naughty Nurse from Multiple Personality Disorder Cameron : Striped Silk Pjama Pants from XTC

Cam took little persuasion today to come and play hospital with me, especially when he saw this super sexy costume from MPD! I'm not a very good nurse though....I appear to have chopped off one of his arms...oops! Complete with shoes, stockings, hat and even a nasty looking syringe, its the most sexy naughty nurse outfit on the grid, and its only $1!!!! You need to run in and snap it up today, and check out the rest of the costumes in store on Harlow.

Pose - International Model 8 #2
Wearing - Teardrop Gift Set from Aluinn

I love classic and tasteful jewellry sets, and Aluinn has some of my favourite designs, and is just the perfect finishing touch to any gown or outfit. There are so many gorgeous sets and designs in store that you will have trouble deciding on which to pick up...or get your SO to pick up for you *wink*

Pose - International Model 4 #10
Wearing - Keys to My Heart Tank Gift from Insatiable Fashions, Too Tight Leather Pants from XTC and Ornate and Black Pearls Bracelet from Aluinn

I have to admit, these pants from XTC are my favourites! I pretty much live in them and just keep changing the top I wear with them. This tank top from Insatiable Fashions great with them and its cute and fun too. Check out their store for more fun and flirty tanks and shirts at wonderful prices. The Bracelet from the Aluinn gift bag just finishes this outfit off perfectly.

Pose - International Model 6 #10
Wearing - Liaison in Red from Awesome Designs

From Awesome Designs comes Liaison, a cute flexi dress, or wear the longer ballgown skirt and you are ready for a night out dancing under the stars with your special someone.

Pose - International Model 7 #9
Wearing - Jewel Top Gift from CS Fandango

I love how you never just get a simple top or dress as a gift from CS Fandango. With this cute tank top, you also receive matching earrings, a bangle, belly ring, belt and a pair of flat shoes. The rest of the stock in store is just as wonderful too! Definately a store to check out.

Pose - International Model 5 #4
Wearing - Black & Yellow Stilettos from MEB and Silk Pants from XTC

I love a gorgeous pair of stilettos, and this pair from MEB is just incredible. Not only are they super sexy with a stunning high heel, but the colour combination is stunning too. They look great when just lounging around at home or for wearin gout with on of your favourite outfits. I chose to lounge around in my silk pants from XTC.

Check out the post by Ake to see the vacancies we currently have with us at Harlow.

Its so great having Zelly back with us. Just in time for the big party too. We all know she can never pass one of those up! Hope to see you there in your costumey best too!

Pose - Girls With Guns #8
Wearing - Teresa in Black from Catagory 5

From Catagory 5 comes a sexy outfit perfect for swinging through the thinck of battle and for winning any war. With sexy tight pants and a lovely corseted top, you will look amazing in any situation. Available in a choice of colours, you will definately find the one for you there in store.

Pose - Attitude #5
Wearing - Dorkenstein Bolts from Fire Good

Move over Incredible Hulk, its the Dorkenstein!!! Fire Good sent these adorable bolts out through their subscribo group recently. Just an example of why you need to hit up subscribos when you see them. Check out the store for more fun items for Halloween and any occasion.

Pose - Scream Queen #11
Wearing - Chianti from Silks and Satyr

I love gowns and dressing up, and from Silk and Satyr comes this gorgeous one that will add sparkle to any inventory. I just love the gold overlay for the skirt that can be worn or left off. There is also a slimmer skirt with train option if poofy skirts are right for your evening.

Pose - Camera Candy #3
Wearing - Deseo from Ali Couture

Sexy, seductive and just a little bit naughty, thats the designs you will find at Ali Couture. A supersexy form fitting, and exposing, dress is the Deseo. Complete with gloves, ring, armbands and even a patch for your eye, its a sexy number for a James Bond bad girl! Oh Mr Bond, where are you?

Pose - Framed in Beauty #8
Wearing - Purple Tulip from Calla

There are some lovely hairs at Calla, and one just perfect for wearing with a gorgeous gown for a special night out is Purple Tulip. Its drawn back in a low ponytail at the base of the neck and pearls are intricately threaded into the hair to give it a special touch that makes a simple style really glamorous.

Pose - Camera Candy #10
Wearing - Rae - Chic in Pink from RLF

New from RLF is a range of skins called Rae - Chic. They are so cute and with a variety of colour options, as well as skin tones of light, tanned and dark, you could find something there for you!

Weekend!

Hello,

Finally it’s Friday! Woohooo, weekend is here and lots of things are happening, we at Striking Poses and the folks of Harlow are preparing for our “Harlow Costumed Scavenger Hunt”, I’m sure you have seen all the adverts around the sim and of course the one that I’ve included in my blog posts.

If you haven’t seen it, here you go … again :P



There are many wonderful prizes including 3k linden dollars! So mark your calendars for this October 25th, you have enough time to find the perfect costume, remember there is also 3k Lindens for the best in costume!!

This is my favorite part, when I get the chance to show you my work with the poses; I took the last one of the ISM 14 Collection. This picture was made last week before I went to work, I was enjoying the sun before it set, I love this pose, it makes you feel in touch with your deeper self.



If you like it (I’m sure you do!), it is International Supermodel 14, pose number 10.
I also have a different pose for you, it is a group one and is made for girls, but if you know how to modify them then you can also use it with a boy ;) just like I did…



Here are my SL siblings, having fun at Harlow’s beach and well … I just can say how much I love these guys ^^

Okay, that is all for today, I want to send a big hug to Zelly, she is sick and we don’t know when she is coming back, so Sweetie, if you have the chance to read my post … GET WELL SOON, WE MISS YOU!

Hugs and kisses for you =*

Do you feel that sometimes you have a lot of things to do and you want to get them all done? But for the life of you, you just can’t do it? Well, I am living that now, I just can’t get focus on doing anything! XD

Anyhow, here I am, I’m sorry I’m not able to show you a sneak peak, as our lovely Zelly is away for a few days, we just hope she comes back soon!

It was difficult for me to choose my favorites poses from the newest collection “International Supermodel 14”. To me, they are all great, just perfect and the mood I was in today I just couldn’t decide. After a short while something came, like always.

So here we have a picture for you, I went back to my old style and used a real life background, and I have to say I’m really pleased with the outcome!

One of my favorite poses is number 2, it is a classic stand with hands on the hip, I am using his on my hud, it just looks really gorgeous. With the perfect outfit you will be the queen wherever you go ;)



With my next picture, I decided to create something themed along the lines of “City Night Time”, I took a casual outfit and my new boots and there I was, walking to a bar downtown. Of course my night wouldn’t be complete if I wasn’t using pose number 9, from the same collection. Now I am looking sure of what I want, and what I’m going do.




Next week we are holding a hunt and it is called a “Scavenger Hunt”, I’m sorry I have to confess I had no idea what a scavenger hunt was, I had to translate it. I’m sure you all know what it means, Rhianna has a list put together that will contain a list of items that you’ll need to find. The first person to come to us with all the items on the list will win all the prizes, that’s right, clothes, gift cards, poses and 3000L$!! Also! We will have another 3000L$ for the best costume, so don’t come in your casual outfits, come in your best Halloween suit and come on over for the hunt! (I know a few stores in Harlow have some really good Halloween items and someone of them are free.. great eh?)

The following advert will be updated with more information soon :P



Love!

Mid-Week Updates!

Its Wednesday, which means I'm back with some more stuffies from Harlow for you to enjoy.

Pose - International Model 4 #1
Wearing - Dollarbie Gift from Drop Dead Diva

Another new store on Harlow is D3 - Drop Dead Diva. I popped on in to check it out and stumbled across their dollarbie gift, which put me in an Alice Cooper frame of mind. Maybe it was the tight leather pants, but I dug out my Alice eye makeup skin and went posing in a graveyard. There are some really cute outfits in store, so do check them out!

Pose - Enchantress #5
Wearing - Grunge Boots from MEB

I love love love boots! MEB's grunge boots are just perfect for stomping around SL in and look fabulous with jeans! These boots come with a handy resizing option - and be careful when doing that. With wonderful textures and gorgeous detailing, these boots will soon be a staple of your footwear wardrobe!

Pose - Chiquita Buena #10
Wearing - Moneypenny from Milady's Fancy

Milady's Fancy has some of the most gorgeous clothing in SL and this outfit is one of my favs. Perfect for Autumn, it has a luxurious cowl neck sweater with several skirt options. Available in a variety of colours, you will soon find the right one for your changing wardrobe.

Pose - Darling Divas
Wearing - Jordan: Fury in Red & Cameron: Fortress from XTC

I just had to sneak another fangirl post in this week, especially after Cameron was sent this amazing new outfit for men from XTC. Not only will you find amazing dresses, corsets (drool) and jackets for women in store, but the men's designs are breathtaking, so you ladies need to drag your partner, boyfriend, boytoy - any male you know - in to check it out. I love this dress though. Tight leather, textures and coloured, its simply gorgeous. There is a selection of colours available too, so there is definately one for you!

Pose - International Model 14 #9
Wearing - Cameo in Vanilla from Out.Rage

Out.Rage has this lovely dress with bands of gorgeous purple detailing around the waist and hemline. After all, its not Autumn everywhere and this dress will be just the thing for wearing out shopping or hanging with friends. With a sit smart skirt option as well, its a great addition to your inventory.

I'll see you back here on Saturday with some more awesome stuff from our stores at Harlow.
