In the memory of Zelly Mornington

To the SL community and Friends,

It’s a month today since our beloved Zelly Mornington passed away. I’m sorry I haven’t posted sooner, it’s just it still hurts and it hasn’t sunk in yet, and I can’t believe I’m here telling you this. I just wish I had the chance to say goodbye to her.

Zelly was an amazing woman, boss, worker, friend and sister and I am sure everybody that knew her will be agree with me. She was a very passionate person and always gave 110% to everything she was doing. A true friend that always cares for others; she always worried about me, she always wanted to know if I was happy with the steps I was taking in life. She was like a big sister to me, the one that I never got the chance to meet.

I could keep saying more, but my worlds won’t be enough to describe her and from the bottom of my heart … I really miss her. I just want to give my condolences to her family and let them know she will be always in our hearts.

Zelly loved Striking Poses and after she closed she kept working on some new ideas. Before she stepped away from SL, she worked on some ball room dancing poses, the idea was to do a total of 10 of them, but she only managed to create 3 of them and they were never released. She wanted me to do the pictures when all of they were ready, she said to me “use some of your magic to do something awesome for me” … and here they are … Zelly I’m sorry that I am late giving these to you.

But .. I do have something nice, and this is one of the poses from our new collection High Fashion. This pose is perfect for those gowns that have a open side leg, just like the dress I am wearing in my picture:



This is pose number 2, I like the way you look, a cool stand and a very feminine way to put your hands, you are the boss! Totally!

Okey here’s the thing, I don’t know what we have done wrong here in Chile, huge earthquake followed by a tsunami and then many aftershocks each night. Yesterday we even had a blackout that affected over 9 states for 3hours, and we only have 13 states! Please someone give us a break!!! T_T


Anyway … Last Friday I told you about our new collection “High Fashion”, which is available now at our store :D

This collection is the first from Striking Poses new FASHION COUTURE POSE line; these poses are specifically made to go with your haute couture fashion. You can’t miss these! Not now with all the RLF things happening, you will need one of our poses to match all the clothes you will get there ;)

Just how I did ;) …


This adorable pose is number 6, when I first saw the hand near the face I thought "she is talking on the phone!" so I added my particular mobile and voilá!!!

The full collection will be add to Striking Poses flickr account.


As you know, a new collection doesn’t come alone … it always comes with a new SALE!!! And for this complete week our new sale is “Burlesque Queen III”. Half price for fatpack! and half price for single poses!

Thanks for being concern :3

Hi There,

Lots of my friends have been asking if I was okay after what happened in my country, Chile, we got a strong earthquake level 8.8, after that, a huge Tsunami ... I am good, thanks God nothing happened to me and my family or house, for me the earthquake was level 7 and 3 minutes longer >.< ... but we passed in good conditions, I must say, I am a lucky person.

At the south of Chile, where was the catastrophy, lots of towns are gone when the Tsunami hit not with one wave, with 3 or 5 waves one after the other and destroyed everything ... ships are over houses, inside them or betweens trees in the wood houses are over other houses, it's just like a science fiction movie like 2012 or the day after tomorrow.

Some of you have been asking how can they help us ... so here is the info of what I've found

International Red Cross – account Citibank Nº 9941973331 – code ABA:021000089 – address: 153 east 53 Rd. Street 4th floor. New York, Ny 10022

I will be very glad if you wanna help, but I wanna make sure that I'm not begging you, I just want to share my damage people with the rest of you that maybe don't have any idea what an earthquake is like.

There are dozen of kids looking for their parents, calling them under the destroyed buildings ... if you wanna help, do it for them please ... everything counts, a pray, a light a candle, a best wishes ... everything!

I wanna Thank to Zelly to allow me to use her blog for this. Zelly you are the best EVER! also I wanna thank to Nicky Ree, she has been lighting candles for our people and waiting to know how she can help ... you are wonderul Nicky! :3

And how we say "We are strong, we keep moving forward"

Sorry about my english spelling or grammar *blushes*

Ake .. the people seeker

PS. thanks to US, Perú, Bolivia, Australia, Russia, China, Indonesia for your help :3

More ideas for your poses :)

Hello Striking Poses Lovers,

The famous valentine’s day or Vday is coming. I’m wondering how you can tell the difference from Vday and Bday when you say them.. Vday… Bday.. Vday.. they sound the same! anyway I’m not going to celebrate it as it’s my brothers Bday on Vday…. How confusing? Bday.. Vday… haha :p

Anyhow, I wanted to share my happiness with you all, as finally my precious Visa has been granted and I will marry Spad in RL soon :D Yaaay!!

Anyway as I always say, this isn’t about me, but about Poses! Okies, for today I have some of my artwork inspired by this elegant pose collection called Hollywood Starlet which has been modeled on Susan Hayward.

In this picture I used poses 6 and 7, making a Expo car show with 2 fantastic models, as you know every nice expo has gorgeous models, and even that is not a model pose, you can always use it for it.

Sometimes just using torsos and arms can really work well in a shot, which is why I’ve chosen pose number 9, this pose has a nice leg stand, but what I loved more was the head looking up to the sky, that is why I’ve decided to do this picture!

So … don’t forget the hunt we have on, the poses are super great and the included notes are just perfect to express what you want to say but you are to shy to do it :) Look for the red sculpted heart and have fun!

And don't forget the sale for this week! totally cheap :D

Just to remind you, this collection is based on Paris Hilton :)

Have a nice weekend and V Day!

Toodles,

Fairies or Angels ... its up to you ;)

Hello People,

I feel like the wicked witch of the west, ”I’m Meeellttttiiingggg.. Meeellttttingggg”. Can you believe that it is 37°C today!!! OMG and we don’t have any air conditioning systems, not unless you are in an office or shopping mall… but not in the homes here, were to far away for those things.

Anyway I want to show you the original pictures that Zelly was inspired by to create these amazing Fairy poses, from her “Fairy Essence” collection.



Not only for fairies! All you angels can use them too, just like I did! And here is me to show you my angel point of view :3

Pose Number 10


Pose Number 08


These poses are adorable, soft and very feminine, I am sure you will like them as much as I do.

Oh, I forgot to remind you all in my previous post about the shapes we have available. So there we go I have reminded you all that we sell shapes! Bryony was the last one and the shape is perfect for models as it is Stylish, tall and pretty ;)

Today I’m in a good mood, don’t ask me why, as I have no idea. Anyway … I came to show you my favorite poses from the new collection “The Ballerina”.
First, I must tell you these poses are based on the original ballerina girls, some famous and some from paintings. When you can compare you’ll realize how good the work Zelly has been doing with these poses.



Second, I’ll show you my favorites poses, all of them :D … but I have decided to pick out the most amazing ones, so take a look at them, while doing so you’ll also notice I am wearing normal shoes, so no need for those tight fitting ballerina shoes.





Now, the Midnight Mania Party was very successful, we reached the required 150 people to win the prize and they all got fantastic poses… it was a great way to have fun and the trivia we did was hilarious xD
Thanks to all of you for attending and we hope to see you all again!

Zelly last Saturday sent you all in SP group a nice gift, don’t forget to check your inventory , it might be in your Object Folder.



Just to remind you, Attitude is on sale for this whole week, 250L fatpack and 25L single poses, it has a very cool selection of P!nk poses ;)
