1 K is for Kinky_030

I’m talking about the hair! Sheeeesh, what did you think this post was going to be about? 😉

The Salome hair by [LeLutka] is my go-to hair when I want a hairstyle that is a little bit avant garde. It is one of those items that I would never delete, or if it accidentally disappeared from my inventory I would run to replace immediately. It’s almost two years old, but I think a lot of people would agree that it is just an amazing hairstyle. I’m not sure if I would describe it as controlled or uncontrolled kinky, but it is sexy and funky and perfect.

I also made this pose for my photo. I knew that I was going to use this hair and I actually wanted my hands to be closer to my head, like I was primping my hair. That didn’t work out lol I still have a lot of learning to do before I am able to translate my avatar’s body into exactly the position I see in my head. I have even more respect now than I ever did for the ability of pose makers. That they are able to create poses that make our avatars look natural and not like Quasimodo is a real talent!

J Is For Jump

1 J is for Jump D

I wasn’t quite sure what to do for the letter J. I could have gone with a designer, but I wanted to do more of a theme. When “jump” popped into my head, I started looking for poses in my inventory. I found a couple, but they weren’t what I wanted. I was going to give up on the idea and try to come up with something else, then I happened to stumble across this tutorial on pose making by Gogo on JuicyBomb. Since I had an idea of what type of pose I wanted, I decided to give it a go. So, I downloaded DAZ Studio, followed Gogo’s instructions and started playing around.

Yes, that is it in my photo. Not only am I jumping, but I am joyful, jubilant and jolly-well proud of my little creation. Is it perfect? Nah. But I made it! I’m going to call it beginner’s luck, though, because I tried another one and it was a joke!

But there’s no need to be jealous because here is the surprise I mentioned yesterday – I’m giving it away!

All you need to do is visit my marketplace store or stop in my show room in world to pick it up. It is sitting on the shelf just as you walk in, so it’s easy to find.

I only have one request: if you use it in a photo for your blog, please credit it. I think that’s a small price to pay for a Poses by Peep original 😉

I is for Ivories

I is for Ivories

I have always loved the phrase, “tickling the ivories.” I took piano lessons as a child, but I abused the poor things, rather than tickling them. I love music, but I am an appreciator – not a musician. I am lucky that I can play an iPod since I have had little luck with instruments.

I may be following the spirit of the law, rather than the letter by choosing “Ivories” for my I entry in the Inventory Alphabet challenge, but I loved this picture so much that I couldn’t wait until I got to P for Piano. Besides, I have something else planned for that letter 😉

And, I have a very special post planned for tomorrow. Yes, J is shaping up to be a bit exciting for me. I am even planning a little gift for you, so make sure you check back tomorrow to see what you need to do to get in on it.

Yes, I is for “intrigue” – no hints, no spoilers, I shall be impenetrable!
