Great poses for stunning boots ...

Hello lovely readers,

I know I have been away for a few days, but you know I’m always thinking on you all, that is why I want to remind you all about our participation in the Footwear Expo 2009!

First off I bring you 2 poses from our exclusive collection made just for this fantastic event.

From Tickled Feet I Chubby Collection, pose number 2. This pose makes me feel the happiness around me, it is a fresh casual pose, where your shoes will look awesome in any advert. (Check out the boots, a big thank to Bax Coen Designs for his collaboration for this exclusives poses)



Still with the same collection, this lying pose, number 3, talks for its self, so … here you have it I am sure you will like it as much as I do :P



You can’t buy these poses separately, they come as one collection, Tickled Feet I Chubby is an amazing collection and I’m sure you will be so happy with it.



Come on over and visit our booth, there we have more poses including couple poses just for you to buy, and if you want to see more, stop by our main store :) and you will see the rest of our wonderful and creative collections ;)

Oh, and don’t forget to donate to the Marine Toys for Tots foundation. By buying our fantastic Foot Buddies Group Pose, it is totally gorgeous and I’m sure male models will like this “3some” idea ;) (Toboggan here)



Also the Jeanie in a Bottle is still on sale, if you haven’t bought it yet, what are you waiting for?



If you like freebies, we always have some cheap single poses for you, take a look at the Dollarbie Tree in the middle of our store, and get yours! The last one is Dollarbie Pose 2



Do not forget, if you aren't a member of our group, this pose will cost you some more lindens ;) Join us!

Make sure to stay tuned, because Harlow is preparing a new Street Party, I’ll bring you more information about it during the week ;)

Thank you all from this cloudy Sunday here at the end of the world ;)

Monday Already?

I am losing my days again. Being from "the future", I already get confused enough by the fact SL is a day behind my real world time zone, but I could have sworn today was Monday my time, which would make it Sunday SLT.

Since its not, I quickly found some great things at Harlow to show you.

Pose - International Model 6 #9
Wearing - Moneypenny in Lavender from Milady's Fancy

Moneypenny is a range of business wear for the busy woman on the go from Milady's Fancy. Complete with a pencil skirt in two lengths and slacks, it can take you anywhere at anytime. You need to run to XStreet before November 26th and you can pick it up in Lavender for only $25!!!!

Pose - International Model 4 #1
Wearing - Shakti from Silk & Satyr

New in store from Silk & Satyr is this absolutely gorgeous gown called Shakti. I just love the gold lace detailing and the sexy halter top and sheer stomach panel. These colours are perfect for the festive season parties too! It moves so wonderfully when you are dancing too! Complete with earrings and bodice jewel, its a gorgeous addition to your wardrobe.

Pose - International Model 6 #10
Wearing - Celestial Necklace, Earrings and Bracelets from Darlinks

Lots of parties means lots of opportunities to dress up and accessorise. You will look amazing in the Celestial set from Darlinks. Not only is it gorgeous and eye catching, but its also colour change, so you can match it up with whatever you are wearing.

Pose - International Model 12 #2

Black and white is such a stunning combination and no more so than in the black ice outfit from XTC. Combining a metallic black tube dress with white full length gloves for a look that will always get you noticed.

Striking Poses at Footwear Expo! yay!

Finally the day has come, I am so excited about us being part of the Expo, the 2009 AL Footwear Expo that is taking place to benefit the Toys for Tots. Many poses designers were invited to take part, and of course we at Striking Poses were invited.


Back when Zelly first asked me to produce the adverts for the exclusive poses to be used in the expo I had spent most of my time trying to work out in my head how I would do them. She asked me “I want them to look chic”, chic? Lots of ideas what through my head and so many ideas I would put to use in Photoshop later.

I would like to give my personal thanks to the shoe designers who sponsored us, and who were kind enough to send us pairs of their latest collection of shoes and boots. I have to say a THANKS to the Bax Coen Designs team and to the Magnifico Exclusive staff, girls you made my pictures look so gorgeous and chic, just how Zelly had asked me.

A little about the Expo… the expo is to benefit the Marine Toys for Tots foundation, which you can read about here ^^

All the money raised from our first trio group pose "Foot Buddies Group Pose" will be donated to this excellent foundation. So, what were you waiting for!



Of course a trio group pose is not enough, not for Zelly, so here it is Tickled Feet I Chubby Pack, this collection comes with 3 sitting poses and 1 stand, they are super cool to work with, sexy and stylish, get yours now! (okay not all sitting but you know what I mean :P)



Our Second collection is Tickled Feet II Chubby Pack … 3 standing pose and one lying with a free bath tub! You can use the lying pose separately from the bath tub, you just need to be creative, these poses are so much fresh, casual and sensual.



Don’t forget to look around, and visit our sponsored friends :D I have already been doing some window shopping, and this will all end on Dec. 6th 2009. So I have a huge list of what I want. ;)

Get your Toboggan here! (and follow the red arrow xD)

I have been quite busy the past few weeks. At the moment I’m trying to work out in my mind something extraordinary for Striking Poses and something for our friends who will have business patnership with us (more news about that later)

I ‘m sure you have all heard about the SL Footwear Expo 2009. You have also probably heard that we were invited to participate and of course we couldn’t resist. Zelly has made some very unique poses just for this event, so you won’t want to miss it!



This week our new release was Femm Vice, this is a unique couple’s pose, totally chic. The pack includes copy-able pose balls as well as individual poses, for those people who don’t have a partner ;) You ill always find a use for this pose, couple or not, it's an extraordinary, fashionable pose.






If you like the shoes I’m wearing in the photo above take note that they were created by the wonderful Magnifico grils. They do superb shoes, just looking at the Fano Pumps I’m wearing in black they are fantastic. They also come in various colours and include a hud to allow them to match your own skin. You have to try them, oh and of course with our Poses you’ll look totally GLAM!



I want to Remind you about our sale this week, Jeanie in a Bottle Collection, based on Barbara Eden. This collection includes the most adorable and casual poses. Pop on over to our Main Store and make sure you purchase yours. Not forgetting you can have it at a bargain price (it is a SALE remember?), the full collection will cost you 250L and each individual pose 25L. Like I said… bargain!



Oh, please don’t forget to purchase your dollarbies! They are what you call a real bargain! ;)

Jordan has been updating the list of free shops to rent at Harlow, if you want to expand your business or start a new one in popular sim, then is your choice.
Contact Jordan (Jordan Whitt) who can discuss this further with you.

You can also rent one of our advertisement boards, they are located around the best areas in Harlow. You’ll find them over at the main Striking Poses street and at the Docks. The docks is also where you’ll be able to do some 7Seas fishing ;)

Quickie...

Just sneaking a quick entry in tonight. Ake will be updating you on the newness with Striking Poses tomorrow instead of my usual Harlow blog.

Last week I blogged about the gorgeous Black Lace Fae outfit from Dance Creations. Jaxie noticed my poor fairy was barefoot, so she created a sexy pair of sandals to go with the outfit and until Tuesday night, they are only $25! With 8 nail colour options and a colour change hud for your skin tone, these are a gorgeous addition to your shoe collection and stunning finishing touch for your black lace fae outfit.

Where do my days go?

And here it comes again… Friday!

I just can’t believe the weekend is here again, where are the days going? …. Feels like I do nothing and I end up with lots of things to do and no time for anything else … I’m in shock really.

Anyway … a new weekend means a new release, but this time I do not have a sneak peak! Sorry, I was in a hurry and there wasn’t time for me to do a sneak peak for you, but I will tell you this the poses are very fashionable :P

No matter, I always have something for you, as I said it’s not a sneak peak but news about the release for this week, Wet Dreams, do you remember? What a great poses weren’t they? I already took my favorites from the collection and only 2 of them will be in the blog.

Wet Dreams are poses based on this hot porn star Jenna Jameson, she is super sexy and super pretty!

I chose pose number 2 because it looks so chic, the stand is perfect for a catwalk, with the hand on the hip and the head looking to one side, try it out, I am sure you will love it.



My second choice is pose number 6 … rather hot, isn’t it? … this is a pose that opens your imagination, I got several ideas on how to use it, but I came out with something simple and not …. Mmm … porn xD … the hands up looks hot as ever, I really like this pose, and the legs stand, as I see it as an invitation to play with ;)



I want to remind you about our dollarbie 02, it is a lovely pose full of energy, I am sure you will love it, so don’t forget to pick it up.



The sale is still on, Miss all American is waiting for you with a wonderful price of 250L for the full collection and just 25L for each pose, a big thanks to Zelly for letting our life be full of cheap and amazing poses :D



Have a nice weekend!
