Planning Her Escape

PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

Pose Fair 2017 has opened today and this is the opportunity every photographer should be taking to find the poses that make every picture shine. This event showcases not only the known posemakers in Second Life, but is a chance to discover some exceedingly talented newcomers – or new-to-you creators.

Every year I seem to find at least one posemaker I wasn’t familiar with, and that holds true for this year, as well. Artis is a brand I hadn’t heard of before, but Tamara Artis creates beautifully natural yet seductive poses. One of her Pose Fair Exclusives is “Caged.” While the concept of using a cage for poses isn’t new, what I love about this set is the feeling that each pose brings of a caged animal, resigned to being imprisoned, yet the hope of release is apparent. You just know that if the door is opened the creature will quickly flee her captivity. Lovely poses, and while I didn’t use it myself, Tamara provides a shape that is designed to work best with the pose prop. I noticed this in some of her other work, so I will definitely try one out.

The angle I shot from also helps to highlight the beautiful Rita sandals from fri.day at the current round of Collabor88. I really loved this round, as can be seen from the credits, and these shoes come in a very springy pallete that will work well through the next two seasons. They are very pretty and delicate, yet have enough of a heel to act as a weapon, if needed, during her daring escape.

Pajamas All Day, Sweet Dreams All Night

Image PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

Ah, lovely, lazy days where the biggest accomplishment is actually getting out of bed. Snuggly covers, soft pillows and the glow of sunlight peeking through the window; just enough to warm the room, but not enough to cause a painful squint.

The inspiration for this post is the print by {what next}, part of a series available at the March round of Collabor88. There are wall and floor versions of three prints in both mono and pink versions. They are great additions to any cozy bedroom. Or living room. Or anyplace you want to conjure up the feeling of lazy and chill weekends.

All a reminder that pajamas all day lead to sweet dreams all night.
