! !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.

First Date, Last Date

1 First Date, Last Date crop sm

I obviously had a lousy first date. I am actually using a couples pose – you can see why my partner didn’t make it onto the pose stand. And yes, this is the last date, too.

Don’t think you are limited to using two people with couples or friends poses. Frequently you can use one or the other of the two poses as a single. That is the case with this pose from !bang for Fifty Linden Friday (FLF), called “my world.” While he didn’t rock mine, the female half of this pose did, so you’re seeing it here. FLF is a one-day sale, so make sure you stop by tomorrow (September 25th) to pick up one of the two couples poses Luna has on special. And while you’re there, don’t miss out on her gift card sale – they are 50% off September 25-27. That’s a bargain at…um….half the price!

I took the opportunity to show off some of the pretties at this round of Shiny Shabby, including the top, skirt and the shoes from fri.day . Yes, if you look closely enough you can see them! I also took the opportunity to give you another sneak preview of Rwah’s sim. I am hoping that if I keep giving you snippets of her work that she’ll actually get around to opening it to the public 😉 Stay tuned – I’ll add the SLurl if she ever does. It’s the perfect place to go on a first date – you can hang onto him if you like him and if you don’t, well, you can just hang him!

Town & Country

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.
