Lashae or Someone Like Her

This past Monday Strawberry Singh posted her latest "Monday Meme Challenge" which was a bit more challenging than her normal.  Berry challenged her readers to recreate a movie poster inspired by the original.  I had to do a small Google search for movies beginning with the letter "L" and came across Life or Something Like It staring Angelina Jolie and Ed Burns.  I've never actually watching the movie, but I will definitely be adding it to my Netflix queue.

This blog post was honestly the most fun I've had blogging in a long time.  I didn't really want to search through thousands of poses to try and find one to match the pose in the original movie photo; that would have taken a lot of precious time that I don't have to give up at the moment.  So I instead did something that I have been wanting to do for a long time... I made my own pose!  I always thought that it would be extremely stressful and agitating, but I ended up having such a good time that I plan on doing it more often.  Who knows, perhaps some day I will gain the courage to open my own pose store.

If I Close My Eyes Forever

I don't typically take pictures with my husband's avatar.  I'm not sure why other than because (1) he never logs on, (2) he never goes shopping and (3) duo pictures take a lot of time.  Since I have a lot more time of my hands now that summer has arrived, I may spend a bit more time working with both avatars.  That of course means I will have to take Dryden shopping at some point since the world may end before he takes himself.  My husband is very much the same even when it comes to the virtual man.

The beautiful pose I'm using in this photo is a new release by !bang poses.  If you, unlike me, love taking group shots, you should really check out this designer.  Luna Jubilee has a wide variety of couple, friend and group poses.  If you are a VIP member (350L join fee) you can snag Moment at a discounted price for only 88L; this discount won't last much longer, though!  All group poses are modfiable and demos are available.

I spotted the skirt I'm wearing by C'est la vie! while browsing through flickr photos a few days ago.  To all designers who don't use flickr as a marketing tool... you are missing out on many potential buyers!  I have discovered and rediscovered quite a few shops by simply looking through photo pools.  I really love the shape of the Ribbon Belt Skirt.  I do, however, sort of miss the movement of the flexi prims when it comes to wearing skirts in Second Life.  If only we could have the wonderfulness of both types of "material" in one.  The skirt is available in six designs and a free demo is available.
