1 Focus Poses Guitar 6

I am a rock chick and proud of it. Give me Hinder, Shinedown and Alter Bridge over Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake any day. Driving bass line, wailing lead guitar and the primal beat of the drums are what I love. Throw in the heart-stopping voices of singers such as Brent Smith and Myles Kennedy and I am a happy girl.

1 Focus Poses Guitar 7

Focus Poses has an awesome rock pose set available at Pose Fair 2014 called “Guitar.” There are lots of poses in this set, many more action-oriented than I am showing here. It includes not only the poses and guitar props, but an amp, foot pedal and even the stage and a separate LCD screen flashing images of the crowd wildly cheering you on.

Groupies and roadies are, sadly, not included.

Don’t Be A Dummy

1 Dummy 1

Sometimes a girl needs a big, strong, silent guy to lean on.

Just sayin’.

There are a few gacha machines scattered around at Pose Fair 2014 and this has to be my favourite. The Dummy gacha can be found at the Image Essentials booth. I’m showing one of the rares in this post, but this is one gacha that holds a winner with every spin.

Don’t be a dummy – go check it out.

Shattered…In A Fedora

Image PeepSideshow Darkward17 Comments

1 Shattered 3a

Sometimes I try to complicate things too much. I was so excited by the Shattered… pose and mirror prop from Kuro in motion for Pose Fair that I wanted to do a really special photo using it. I initially tried setting up a scene to shoot the photo, but after I did the image for the mirror, I couldn’t get the placement right. I tried again, and the mirror was too big and I couldn’t get it to look good with a smaller version. Plus, I’m lousy at geometry so I couldn’t get the angle right…or acute or obtuse, for that matter.

So, in the end I cleared out the furniture and other props and went with a plain background. I think that is the best decision because I wanted to highlight the fedora I am wearing from JfL Hats and a simple setting doesn’t detract from it.

Luana Dawg, creator of Kuro in motion, is always clever with her poses and props. What I love about this is that she has included not only instructions on how to create the mirror image (except for the math lesson!) but she supplied the pose separetely so you can use the mirror prop as an accessory or with any other pose. I am using the pose that comes with the set, but I can envisage a lot of scenarios where this could work – perfect for a boudoir shot, for instance.

Johnfrancis Laville of JfL Hats hasn’t had a new release for a while, but the asymmetrical fedora was worth the wait. This version will be available at Menswear Fashion Week (MWFW) starting tomorrow, and he is releasing it in other colour combinations in his store soon. I will update the slurl to MWFW when it opens, but ladies, drag your men over for some fresh spring duds. As you can see, the hat works equally well for women, so don’t be shy about letting your inner gangster or showgirl out! *Edit: Menswear Fashion Week is now open!
