Too lazy for a dance ... but not for a talk xD

Hello,

Half the month has gone already and I am still waiting for my documents T_T but…. In mean time I play with poses and work my magic to find you the best ones to show you.

Today I am in a lazy mood (as always), I just want to be sit and do nothing, it’s the reason why I have this picture for you. Using pose number 01 from the Tickled Feet I Collection. There are few other sittings poses in SL that I like, and this on definitely one of them, it’s just plain cool, with a touch of attitude, don’t you think so?.



This pose is available at our booth at the Footwear Expo, grab your toboggan and enjoy all the sights covered in snow! I also made my own snow man :D (You have to come see it!) You will also find more poses and the rest of our collections that were made exclusively for the Expo.

Woohooo Its Thursday!!!

We're bouncing through another week here at Harlow. I'm sitting on the docks with Rhianna watching yet another fishing tournament in progress. There must be at least 15+ people down here today all going after a share of the fishing pot which stands at $760 at the moment, but donations keep bumping it up higher.

So why am I telling you about this? Because the last dock store is still available to rent, along with four advertising boards. Your store or business can be seen by our fishers as they stand around for 45 mins competing in the tournament. And don't forget, Rhianna hosts at least 2 - 3 a week.

Wearing - Cropped Jeans and Papillion Top from Dyn

I decided to give fishing a go before the tournament started. I wasn't alone in that thought either. We had a lot of people here getting ready long before the official start time. Perfect for fishing, shopping around during the Sim Wide Sale or even yardsale browsing is the sexy Papillion assymetrical tunic and cropped jeans from Dyn. If you haven't checked out the amzing style and design at Dyn lately, you're missing out. They just keep going from incredible to incredible.

Wearing - Kissed Bikini Black & Kissed Ripped Jeans (dark) from Alexohol Fashions
Pose 1 - Jessica Alba #2
Pose 2 - Tatiana Del Toro Dollarbie

New to Harlow is Alexohol Fashions. Just released is the "Kiss" range which features...you guessed it...a bright pink kiss. Its just adorable! I especially liked the kiss on the butt on the bikini pants. I had a little giggle over that! The jeans are very awesome too, so check them out and see if you would like to be Kissed by Alexohol!

Wearing - Dots Bikini from Viviane Fashion & Ornate and Black Pearls Bracelet from Aluinn
Pose - Jane Fonda Dollarbie

I hit up the subscribo board when I was having a browse through another of our new stores, Viviane Fashions, and this bikini was sent to me as a thank you. In a gorgeous shade of grey with little black dots, it goes perfectly with the bracelets in the gift in store at Aluinn. But you receive not only the bracelets, but also a gorgeous teardrop necklace and earring set, and if you are male, there's an onyx ring in there for you. Both stores have incredible designs in clothing (Viviane's) and jewellry (Aluinn) that you are bound to fall in love with.

The only thing more fun than flying around Harlow on my new flying noob is the Sim Wide Sale which is still going on. Some of our stores have stock up to 50% off, so you can bag lots of awesome bargains by shopping at Harlow this week. The yardsale is still in swing as well. Check it out and see if you can bag more great deals up there too. Remember, it is for a great cause and you'll be helping needy families have an awesome Xmas!

Its Monday!

Firstly...the Yardsale has swung open its doors and is ready for you to come browse through the things we no longer want, but you might. It will be running for two weeks, so keep checking back as more stock will be added when it becomes available. And if you have a linden or two to spare, think about dropping it into the donation bears to help us raise money for needy families and kids this coming holiday season. We're starting early to make this an awesome Xmas for the people in Plumas County!

Secondly...we've had the builders in and made some adjustments to the Striking Poses building. Here's the gorgeous Zelly hanging out with them during a break in building. The adorable cardboard robot builder is back and I'm still wanting to take her home with me lol. And this time, our other builder was having a "Sweet Transvestite" moment which gave us plenty of giggles.

What they have done is put in a couple of new entrances into the Striking Poses building. This one is situated in the middle section where we keep our dollarbies, new releases and sale items. There is also another one further down in the main pose section. What this does is make it easier for you to come in and out when you are shopping around the sim.

Have you checked out the Fishing Tournaments at Harlow yet? Rhianna has been hosting a couple a week for the past few weeks and the turn out has been incredible! Every tournament has had at least 20 people on the docks fishing for fishy friends, poses and the cash in the fishing pot. There is still one store available to rent right in the middle of all this action, and Zelly has added some advertising boards. Your billboard or store will be seen by our fishers. In fact, there is another fishing tournament being held right now!!!

Don't forget the incredible Sim Wide Sale going on this week. Some of our most popular stores are slashing their prices and giving you some amazing deals on their fabulous items.

New LL restrictions have Ake and Zelly working overtime this week to rebrand and reshoot all advertisements, posters and poses, so Ake is taking a break from blogging to work on that. I'll be filling in her shoes and keeping you company till she returns.

We're Having A Yardsale!

Yes that's right. We at Harlow have been cleaning out our inventories and on Monday you can see what some of your favourite designers have to spare and save big money on clothing and furniture.

To get there, just look for the sign on the sim and click it for a landmark that will take you to where we've set up the sale.

As part of the Yardsale, we are helping to raise money for the Feather River Toy Run. This is a yearly fundraiser which raises money to help the less fortunate kids and families in the small community of Plumas County. This is the 7th year in which money has been raised to give toys to the children and food to families around the holidays. Last year, events and fund raising in Second Life helped feed an additional 20 families at Thanksgiving and Xmas. This year we've started early and hope to make the holidays better for more families.

How can you help?

There are donation bears set around the yardsale and every linden helps and is greatly appreciated. Also some of the items on sale were donated by friends of the Toy Run and store owners here at Harlow with all proceeds from sales going straight to the Toy Run. Or maybe you have some stuff cluttering your inventories the you no longer want or need. If you would like to donate it to the fundraiser, just box it up, slap a piccy on it and put everything together in a big box or folder and drop it to me, Jordan Whitt, and I will forward it on.

Running along with the Yardsale is the Sim Wide Sale on Harlow. Look for the signs in the windows of the participating stores and snap up even more bargains.

A little bit of Drama?

Greetings!

How is everyone doing? I hope you are all as good as I am! Today could be the last day we spend showing you the older poses, rumor has it that Zelly is working on a new collection, and from what I heard it is going to be absolutely awesome!

Anyways, I will call this week, the “Retro” week collections, on Tuesday I showed you the Grace Kelly collection, what a wonderful set of poses they were. Today I have for you a mixture of a collection, which is named “Drama Queens”. We all know we like to see and have drama in our lives, so why not grab this fatpack and start acting like a Drama Queen! ;)



The pose to the left is number 8, and the one to the right is pose number 9.

If you like sales, well this is your opportunity to take part in one. We at Harlow Sim are holding a huge sale, you need to find the “sale” logos (big red star, just like the picture below) and well.. SHOP! :)



Don’t forget that the “Body Slam” pose is still in store for members at the wonderfully low price of 1L! And being a member all the dollarbies will also be.. 1L! Just remember though, you need to be a Striking Poses member! If for whatever silly reason you are not a member, then join us! The group won’t cost you a group slot, just click the board in the shop and POW! Welcome to our fantastic group full of wonderful surprises and gifts.

Pay attention to the Harlow subscribe and keep an eye on the 7Seas chat, as the date and time will be announced there for the next fishing tournament!

Oh, and remember if you are looking for some wonderful shops to rent, then Harlow is the place! We have only a few shops left, but they are waiting for you! Just contact Jordan Whitt for more information on the pricing, prims and availability.

That’s it! I’m off for the weekend!
