Pose Me Pretty: !bang

! !bang Pose Me Pretty

I’m back again this week to showcase another of my favourite posemakers. !bang is another longtime fave of mine and I am honoured to be an official blogger for this store. Luna Jubilee makes such feminine female stands that they are always among my go-to poses. While there are lots of great stand and sit posemakers in Second Life, Luna’s are always so natural that taking a photograph using them is like capturing a snapshot, rather than a posed shot.

The pose I am featuring here is a new release for We < 3 Roleplay this month. Notice the stance, the slightly-cocked knee and the perfect placement of the fingertips. So realistic, as if she has just paused on her trip through the forest.

Luna also makes great couples poses, ranging from friends to lovers. She has some *ahem* racy couples poses available at this month’s round of Romp and a female-female pose available at Cosmopolitan. But just because a pose is designed for specific genders, don’t let that stop you if you want to use them with a different pairing. I had intended to use a photo of the female-female pose with Chance and myself, but sadly, my computer wasn’t co-operating and kept crashing when I clicked the shutter. You’ll have to trust me on this, but with a bit of adjustment, you can often mix things up to suit your situation. You can even try it out in the store before making the purchase since !bang couple poses are in an adjustable box, rather than poseballs (for which you have to have edit rights and a hell of a lot of patience!)

Go on. Visit Luna’s store. You’ll get !bang for your buck and !bang-on poses.

Town & Country

1 Evergreen Nook 1

Just when you have wound down from shopping at the early events of the month, it’s time to gear up for Shiny Shabby and My Attic @ The Deck. There are loads of goodies at both events, and I took the opportunity to take a few of them out for a spin.

My destination was a lovely sim called Evergreen Nook. It is all decked out for autumn with a very rustic feel, so it complimented the Town & Country theme of My Attic this round. My skirt from K-CODE, earrings and bracelet from Cae and shoes from Essenz are all from this event, and I found perfect compliments from Shiny Shabby with my scarf from Apple May Designs and pose from !bang. They’re all reasons to get up in the morning and get out and about!

You can see the scarf and accessories better in this photo. The scarf is unisex, so you can pick up a matching set for you and your significant other.

Head into town to do a little shopping then make your way to the country to enjoy the lovely autumn weather.

Scent of a Woman

1Scent of a woman

Women! What can you say? Who made ’em? God must have been a fuckin’ genius. The hair… They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls… just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips… and when they touched, yours were like… that first swallow of wine… after you just crossed the desert.

~Al Pacino as Lt. Colonel Frank Slade in “Scent of a Woman”

I love this movie. It is my favourite Pacino film. While this quote inspired the movie’s title, the movie is actually about integrity, living with one’s mistakes and accepting the consequences, unexpected friendships and passion. Oh, such passion.

There is little that is not to love about it.

There is also little not to love about this jumpsuit from Salt & Pepper, available at this month’s round of Shiny Shabby. Correction – there is everything to love about this jumpsuit! It hugs your sexy curves, has a demure collar and a delightful chain on the back. Very classy, yet definitely an outfit that will drive a man to indulge in the scent of a woman.
