G Is For [Gos]

1 G is for Gos

What else could I choose for the letter G besides [Gos]? Don’t answer that – it’s hypothetical 😉

These days, if I’m not wearing Slink add-ons, I’m wearing [Gos] pumps/stilettos/heels. Although I love the variety of choosing from so many designers for the Slink add-ons, the quality has as much variety from amazing to ZOMG-what-were-you-thinking? Not only is the skin-matching a breeze with [Gos], but Mr Voom puts out consistently fabulous shoes. From the style to the quality of textures and design, I don’t think he has put out a pair from the Boutique that I either don’t have or don’t want.

Give me a pair of these babies and I’m a giddy girl!

F is for F***in’ Princess

1 F is for F'ing Princess_007

Today instead of highlighting a single item, my Inventory Challenge entry is based on a theme. Almost every little girl wants to grow up to be a princess. I have never outgrown that, but at this point, since it hasn’t happened yet, I’ve gotten a bit adamant about it. Maybe a little pouty. Maybe even f***in’ obsessive.

This theme has popped up in my blog before, but I couldn’t let this challenge pass without doing it again. I just didn’t have the patience to wait until I got to the letter P 😉

I’ve got it all here – tiara, bed with multiple mattresses and the obligatory pea, plus a multitude of shoes to drop outside the castle. If the first prince to find one isn’t to my liking, I’ll just move on to the next. I’m not taking any chances this f***in’ time!

E Is For Eternal Dream

1 E is for Eternal Dream_002

Every fashion blogger in Second Life has one thing they use in every post – a pose. But rarely are the poses the centerpiece of the photo. In fact, a lot of bloggers don’t even credit the pose or posemaker. I have never understood that – they are willing to credit every other thing in their photographs, but not the pose that shows it off.

Since I began doing credits for my blog I have always included the pose, whether it is still available or not. I have a huge respect for pose makers and I believe they should get the same attention as the dressmakers, hair stylists and jewelers. So, today, E is for Eternal Dream Poses, one of my favourite pose stores in Second Life.

Eternal Dream Poses may not be as well known as some of the others, but Fata Boa makes very natural poses – something that I value. Yes, some pictures scream for more drama, but for the most part, if the outfit is the hero of the photo, a natural pose is my choice. She also creates fun pose props, such as the little birdie shown here. He can change his plumage to compliment your composition – even he is a fashion maven! Or is that raven? 😉

1 E is for Eternal Dream_017

I have been lucky enough to have been chosen for early entry (more E’s!) to this year’s Pose Fair, largely because I am a blogger who does always credit poses. I am hoping to have a few more to feature during the alphabet challenge. If they don’t fit the day’s letter, I will still be showing them off. Just keep an eye on my credits 🙂
