Coming Soon! ... tomorrow xD

Hi there!

Guess what, I have a sneak peek for you all today! YAY!!! Just in time before the new collection is released :D

Coming soon at Striking Poses


I hope you all have enjoyed our last release, The Ballerina. I found them totally adorable, the poses are just beautiful, really.

The Ballerina Fatpack

I also hope you have all received Zelly’s gift, was away to say thanks all for sticking by us. The giftfor those who don’t know was a box that contains 3 random poses and it should be within your inventory under the name of “SP_Group Gift”

01.10 Group Gift

Don’t forget that you can still grab the dollarbie poses, they are in the middle of the store, and you can get them for 1L if you are member of our group, or for 25L if you are not. If you want to be part of our group, just click on the board and it won’t cost you a slot as it is an automatic subscription group ;)

Dollarbie Pose 01

Dollarbie 2

My friend Lou asked me for a picture, together, so I managed my self to do something cool, in my opinion of course(my desktop pc is horrible slow), so he is posing the "Male Models 02" pose number 01 (based on Vin Diesel) and I am on "Posh and Spicy" pose number 10 (based on Victoria Beckham)

Lou and Ake

So, stay tune as more will be coming during the next few days!

Something for Tuesday :P

Hello Everybody,

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.

The Ballerina Inspiration

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.

The Ballerina 05

The Ballerina 07

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

Striking Poses is back!

No, I am back! :P

Yes, I had been on my holiday’s hehehe, not that I went anywhere. I needed a break to take care on some RL things and now I have to wait for answers … I hate waiting…. To wait for someone to tell me yes or no while my life is on hold till I get this answer….

And well… I broke my laptop, how? I changed on the graphic settings in SL to try and improve the way my pictures look, but I didn’t know that so I broke my graphic card T_T

I am here now and so is Zelly, finally she got her laptop and she can get to work creating some new poses for us. Oh and this next collection, OMG! You will love it … so here it is .. a sneak peak for you xD

Welcome to the Teenies?

If last decade was the Naughties, does that make this decade the Teenies? Something to ponder while you check out these awesome new finds from Harlow.

Pose - International Models 11 #6
Wearing -
SSC Cupcakes Daydream from Body Doubles

I love Body Doubles shapes and I especially love the new Skin Specific Collection shapes. Cupcakes is one of my fav skin places, so I have an extensive collection of make ups and skins from there. Having a shape especially made to show them off to their best is such an awesome plus! I'm almost tempted to give up my modified Leah Remini for it! But not quite...

Pose - International Models 11 #2
Wearing -
Elf Girl from Nushru

Nushru was very generous and gave its group this gorgeous dress in red and green for Christmas. Its so cute that Quiver made more gorgeous colour combinations available and they are very affordable too and have matching boots you can purchase seperately.

Pose - International Models 6 #9
Wearing -
Flounce & Faun Kardi's Heirloom Gown & Silq'waggi Heirloom Earrings and Necklace from Silk & Satyr

New in store for '10 is this gorgeous gown from Silk and Satyr. With a gorgeous laced decolletage and bare shoulders, its a stunner for any remaining parties celebrating the new year, or just a night out with your loved one. teamed up with the special Heirloom jewellry from Silq'waggi, you will look amazing!

Pose - International Model 14 #9
Wearing -
Mix and Match Tops from Dance Creations

I love the mix and match range from Dance Creations. With them in my inventory, I always have something for any occasion. I was feeling a bit animalistic tonight, so found the gorgeous cheetah shirts to share with you. At such ridiculous prices, you can stock up your inventory too!

Pose - International Models 11 #4
Wearing -
Golden Dreams Bangles from Zari

The perfect finishing touch to your outfit can be found at Zari. The Golden Dreams chunky gold bangles will look great with an evening gown or just jeans and a tee. Check out the rest of the amazing jewellry on offer in store on Harlow.

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!!!

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!

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 ;)

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



Have a great weekend!

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!
