Whising you a very Merry Christmas!!

FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!!! :D


We have different traditions all over the world, and here in Chile, we wait for Santa Claus to come at midnight, we have our Christmas dinner around 8pm, we chat and the kids go out to try and track down Santa Claus (let me tell you that even a airplane light can be santa ;) ) then when the clock reaches midnight, all the kids run inside the house as “SANTA CLAUS HAS COME”!!!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee … okay, Santa must lost my special parcel because didn’t arrive today :( wait … I am still on time, maybe is hiding somewhere …

Anyway … Zelly, Rhianna, Jordan and I want to wish to all of you a wonderful day, full of joy and ZILLIONS OF PRESENTS!!!




Okay, and because today is Christmas, I'm gonna be nice and tell you what I'm wearing :)

Xmas Eve Eve...

...at least in some parts of the World, and in SL. For me it is Xmas Eve and a little girl very special to me is turning 4 today. She's still asleep at the moment...and gonna be very upset when she finds out she slept through Blues Clues!

On to the goodies from Harlow!

Pose - Male Model 2 #1
Wearing - Belleza Johan Shape from Body Doubles

I thought I would start us off with some man candy today. I love Body Doubles. Its where I got my shape from and I have never deviated from it. I like how they look so natural and in proportion. Skin Specific Shapes have become one of their trademarks. They do a range of shapes to work with your favourite skins to show them at their advantage. Cos after all, you pay enough for them that you want them to look good!

Pose - Sexilicious #10
Wearing - French Kiss from Milady's Fancy

This was one of the fabulous dresses we gave away at the recent rooftop dance party from Milady's Fancy. If you didn't win a copy but love it as much as we did, here's the one deal you will not want to miss out on. Only on XStreet for a very limited time, when you buy this in Tropical Storm, you get 6 more colours FREE!!! Thats 7 dresses for only $200! You'll have a dress for every party over the holiday season!

Pose - Sassy #9
Wearing - Elf Girl and Rawr Boots from Nushru

Isn't this just too cute for words? Nushru's gift to the group this holiday season is just so adorable. In gorgeous red and green shades, you can bring out your inner elf and have some fun whilst looking hot! The boots are the perfect finishing touch too!

Pose - Pulse Racer #4
Wearing - Pink Vest and Red Tie Tank from Evie's

Tanks and jeans would have to be my fav casual outfit in Second Life, as well as RL, and from Evie's come two new tanks to add to your collection. You can dress them up or dress them down, and still look amazing!

Have an awesome Xmas!

Saturday on Harlow.

Wow I love the pics Ake took in the previous blog. She has such a way with poses and pictures! Simply stunning!

Also stunning are some more surprises from the Harlow stores.

Pose - Girls With Guns #2
Wearing - Ana in Red from Catagory 5

A gift to you from Catagory 5 is this cute dress, called Ana. It was sent out to the subscribo group last week and is still there as the welcome gift when you join up. I really love how you can wear it as a strapless dress or if you are feeling demure, there is a white layer with sheer puffed sleeves.

Pose - Framed in Beauty #2
Wearing - Xmas Gift from MEB

Under the tree in the present from MEB you will find these cute red stilettos and leopard print red pants with belt. The top is my own. They are simply adorable and perfect for a shopping excursion!

Trying not to melt x_X

Hello!

I’m melting here in Chile, temperatures hitting 36°C and with 10% humidity? Eeeek, I’m not a great fan of our Chilean summers, at least I don’t feel all sweaty and sticky today, it’s very dry and I like it like this, just not liking the 36°C temperature!

This is why you’ll see me wearing summery things, and not winter clothing that makes me all cozy and warm xD

Today I visited a friend’s house, and managed to get a nice breeze of fresh beach air :D

So, let’s look at my selection for today … Quiet Elegance, based on Claudia Cardinalle, this is an older collection. The poses are just perfect for portraits, so have a look at my pictures and you’ll see that you can use them anyway you want, and you will always have an awesome shot or advert ;)


Pose 01



Pose 02



Pose 06



Pose 10




I hope you enjoy, Zelly will come soon with new poses and other wonderful surprises for Striking Poses :D



Have a great weekend!

Toodles!

Humpday on Harlow!

Wow I can't believe we're just over a week out from Xmas already? Seriously, where has the time gone? I bounced around the sim last night and stumbled upon the Xmas pressies left by some of out fab stores.

Pose - International Model 14 #10
Wearing - Xmas Gift Earrings from Silk and Satyr

Hunt around under the tree and you will find these gorgeous earrings from Silk and Satyr. They will dress up any outfit this festive season and make you stand out in a crowd.

Pose - International Model 3 #1
Wearing - Xmas Gift Tanks from Evies

If you look closely under the tree, you'll find not just one, but two presents there from Evies, this cute butterfly tank top in black and in white. They will look great with jeans or a flowing skirt.

Pose - International Model 6 #9
Wearing - Luna Lu from Cup of Crown

I'm still trying to decide if I feel more like Liberace or Queen of the Universe in this outfit. Either way, its fun and I like it! Its a dollarbie at Cup of Crown, one of our new stores, so pop on by and check them out!

I hope all who came to the dance party on Sunday enjoyed it as much as we did. It took all of us to stop Zelly from stripping while she was dancing up on that pedastal. I think she could have a second career there! Congrads to all who won the incredible dresses we were wearing! I hope you are enjoying them!

See you on Saturday!

Summer is here T_T

Hello lovelies!

I’m in a great mood, you all must know why ;) (not because summer is here and we got 30°C and I was melting)

I want to thank Jordan for her lovely post and to everyone that attended our wedding, to see you all there was the most amazing gift we could have :D

The other day I was kind of bored … well … not bored really, I just needed something to distract me, so I started to do some photo shoots, and I managed to do some nice pictures. In my opinion. :P

I used the Drama Queens Collection, this is an old package based on an old drama queen actress, this collection is totally great, all the poses have a special stand that makes you feel like a queen, they has style and quality, I am sure you can take that Drama Queens out of you using this poses ;)

Pose 1




Pose 2



Pose 5



Pose 7



I hope you have enjoyed my selection, and don’t forget that Striking Poses always bases its poses on real life celebrities.

Why not stop by our store and try some of our awesome poses, also pick up the special offer and dollarbies for you all, but don’t forget, if you want that dollarbie you have to be part of our group, if not … you’ll have to pay more for it.

In Sale



Dollarbies!





And have a look ... these are our latest releases :)





If you want to buy the special poses made for the Footwear Expo, just wait a little bit, they will be soon at the store :)


Sadly I couldn’t make it to the party last Sunday, so I don’t have pictures to show you, but I heard it went pretty good :D so, if you missed it … what a pity! xD



Okay, that is for today!

Way To Go Ake!!!!

I'm taking a break from the normal Saturday blog I write to congradulate our very own Ake on her wedding today to her beloved Spad.

It was a gorgeous ceremony celebrating over 2 1/2 yrs of love, laughs, good times and bad. It gives me hope that maybe somewhere out there is alight at the end of my tunnel instead of all those trains that keep running me over.

Ake looked so beyond gorgeous as she pledged her love to Spad in front of their friends, which included such names as Nicky Rees, Cerberus Noel, (omg I am such a fangirl of them both) as well as Zelly and Rhianna, whom along with Cerberus, were on bridesmaid duty and looked stunning as clouds on my screen. I can't wait to see the official pics to see how gorgeous they really looked.

Congradulations Ake and Spad. I wish you continued love and happiness as you both bounce along life's road together.

Don't forget the fabulous Dance Party tomorrow from 3 - 5pm SLT where you could win the dresses off our backs! Which reminds me, I need to come up with my trivia questions before Rhi spanks me! See you there!

Wednesday...just!

Ack I'm late! I feel like the White Rabbit! At least I can just squeak in with my Wednesday post. I've been having massive "Emerald" issues this week. I only use Emerald for photo taking, and its very hard to do that when half your inventory is missing! So after being a big girl and downloading the latest Emerald viewer, my inventory is back and I have my pictures done.

Pose - Working the Camera #8
Wearing - French Kiss from Milady's Fancy

Continuing with the preview of the Dance Party dresses you could win, here's the dress Zelly has for you. From Milady's Fancy, the dress is called French Kiss, and its simply gorgeous. With black lace around the hemline and the decolletage to accent the vibrant fabric of the dress, its perfect for the upcoming party season!

Pose - Sassy #9
Wearing - Knitted Minidress from Amanda's Fashions

Another new release from Amanda's Fashions this week is this adorable knitted minidress. This strapless little number would look incredible worn on its own, or with a long sleeved shirt and jeans underneath, It also comes with knit stockings to complete the look.

Pose - Snow Bunny #2
Wearing - Trailor Trash Skin from Oceane

Is it wrong that I totally love this skin? I dunno if its cos it fits how I feel at the moment, appeals to my sense of humour or just makes my boobies look fantastic...either way, I love this skin! With smudged makeup and tatts already on the skin, its a winner for those days when you just want to vegetate around the house in your lingerie and curlers.

Oceane's other new release this week is Veronika. Available in 9 makeups, its a strong, vibrant skin for a strong, vibrant woman.

Need a new spot for your store, we have some fabulous 100 prim stores available, as well as a couple of 50 and 75's. Come see the sim and check out fabulous build and what we can offer you.

I have 3 remaining poses to show you from the Tickled Foot ll Chubby collection, each of them are unique and very special so let’s begin with pose number 5.



This wonderful pose also includes a luxurious bath tub, all so cute, it is a really original pose for all you designers and models to show off those nice pair of shoes, or some jewelry or maybe hair, or even prims nails?

Next up is pose number 6 , a casual stylish pose, I love just love the position of the leg and how the hip goes a little to the side. It’s not just a shoe pose, it is an ideal pose to use daily, and yes, I have added it to my hud



The last pose, is number 8, totally cute, look at the legs they seem to be in a jumping position, kind of, this pose will look good if you stand in front of a wall or tree, or whatever you think that makes it looks great xD

Bouncing into December

Its December already! Wow! Another year is drawing to a close and a new one is right around the corner. Its a time for putting the past to rest and open a window to new opportunities, experiences and even people. This has certainly been one year I am looking forward to saying goodbye to.

Its also the time for SHOPPING...either for yourself or the people close to you.

Pose - Wet Dream 7
Wearing - Look Short Design Tank and Blouson for Ladies from Connors

I love the tank tops from Connors. With two options in each pack - sheer and print - they are very versatile and incredibly sexy. I love jackets, and this one is not only a great design, but also looks fabulous when you wear it.

Pose - Sexilicious 10
Wearing - Duality from XTC

Continuing with the black and white theme from XTC, I have Duality for you this week. Its one of the most versatile designs in store. You receive a white knit dress, which you can wear many ways, leather corset and black leather pants. You can create your own look using these pieces and look amazing.

Looking for a new store spot in a fabulous sim? Then swing by and check out Harlow. You get great support staff, access to the sim subscribo network and promoted on this blog. Not to mention some of the best rental prices in SL. Or maybe you would like to advertise your business on one of our advertisement boards. There are some outside the main Striking Poses store and some down on the docks, where they are seen by people who come to take part in the fishing tournaments.

What December brings ...

Merry Xmas!!!

Oh wait, it’s not Christmas yet! You would think it was Christmas with all these adverts and promotions going on in game and in real life! … hehehe never mind … I am here to bring the best of Striking Poses and that is my gift for all of you xD

Like everyone else that went to try and win the lovely red winter jacket from the lucky chair, I was fortunate enough to get mine rather quickly! Or so I thought, I clicked to sit, my screen went black, and the game froze… After some mintues of panicking my screen unfroze and I was still sat in the chair with my new Red Winter Jacket!

So I thought I’d use my new jacket in the picture for today, oh and to make things even better my wonderful boots from Magnifico came with a colour changer and the red from them matches perfectly with my jacket! =0*

We all know that a wonderful jacket and lovely shoes don’t make a picture, no no.. it’s the pose that makes the picture! That is why Striking Poses is here, to make you look perfect in whatever you wear. The pose I chose comes from the second collection of Tickled Feet II Chubby, and is totally adorable ^^ this is pose number 7, and you can just buy it with the complete pack.



About the packs, I still have one pose to show you from the first collection of Tickled Feet Chubby, this is the last pose, number 4. This is a is very special pose, I am sure you can use your mind to create something original with it ;)!



Whoever said that you can’t climb with boots? Hah, with Bax Coen Prestige Boots you can go anywhere you want and nothing will stop you ;) I heard they were made to be never take off :P

Where to buy this collection? Well they are now at the Footwear Expo, so take your toboggan and visit our booth there, try the other poses that are there too and get your favorites. Don’t forget to donate some lindens to the Marine Toys for Tots foundation and get this fantastic trio pose called “Foot Buddies Group Pose” you will have fun using it ;)



If you are looking for a shape that is different and lovely, Striking Poses has the perfect one for you, our last creation is Bryony, with a cute face and tall size, perfect for modeling … Bryony is for you!




Soo ... have a nice day :)

Toodles!



Ake in December mood!
