Shoe Fair: The Designers

Over 50 shoe designers are participating at this year’s Shoe Fair. These designers are spread over four sims. Between the shoe designers there are other non-shoe creators also showing their products. These stores are on the haybale clusters dotted along the walkway. Tons of things, just not shoes, are shown at the fair.

In my all my past posts and this one, I’ve used one of those creators that you can find on the haybales. Find out who these two designer are that I’m showing off today after the cut.

!BANG – New Couples Pose

Perfect timing for the wedding season, !BANG released a new pose just yesterday called Spin Me ’round. I think I’m on a wickedly fast release cycle. So far its been every other day or so. Not sure if I’ll keep up the pace or blog the stuff as often. I may have to figure out how to release in batches.  !BANG does have its own blog so maybe I’ll show off the other angle of the pose there later.

So until I figure it all out, I’ll spam blog some stuff here on occasion.

Bloggers are welcome to contact Trieste Minuet. Please send via notecard with your blog address with the poses you would like to review or just want to be added to the blogger list. Thanks in advance!

Oh, I know people have already asked about the dress: -Phoenix Rising- Encounter (Red)

Store location: !BANG

Couple Pose: !BANG

There are so many cute pose creators on the grid. There is a new pose store called !BANG. With only a few pose sets and almost just as many couple poses the store has outgrown its space. With a couples pose on the ground at the store, you’ll be just as delighted as I was to see the imaginative poses. I’ve used some of the single poses in one or two of my last poses.

Check out !BANG inworld for yourself, if you haven’t already. Super cute things and I’m hoping for more to come … if they can find the space! Maybe that’s why they have the couple pose on the ground?!

Oh also I’m planning new, and very short, home post coming up. Its to showcase the quaint little place we used for the background.

Life began in a garden

Pose Fair 2010 has opened to the public. Last night I got a sneak peek and I’m now utterly broke. There are so many Posers at the fair that I haven’t seen before. Of course the old favs are there but these “new to me” posers really caught my attention.

As much as I appreciate all the Posers, Tillie’s pose stand keep me sane as I weed through my gazillion poses. With each pose set purchase, they go right into my stand. Its a simple system that allows me to organize all my single poses. Tillie’s stand allows you to create your own sets and store hundreds of poses so very neatly. The best part – its one prim. One. Prim.

I can’t say enough about the stand. Version 3.00 is available at the Pose Fair. I highly recommend testing out the demo. You’ll be amazed and wonder why you didn’t have one before!

As soon as Express decides to wake up sign on to SL, I’ll show off some of the couple poses I collected. I told you I went broke at the fair. Most of the items aren’t that expensive either. Its supporting a terrific cause and experiencing new content creators. Win-Win!

(pda) is closing

I was bummed to hear when Izzy announced on plurk that (pda) would be closing. The last day for his store is March 7th, tomorrow. Swing by (pda) before it closes its doors to pick up the two poses packs. Yes two – one from Izzy Bereznyak and the other from Samara Cioc. These packs are loaded with about 100 poses each for only 1000L. Some of the poses are unreleased even! Here’s a little sample of what you will find in the pack from Izzy:

There are even couple poses – some also unreleased – in the lot! Here’s one of the couples poses (She Tried To Be Good) that was my fav:

Again, (pda) is closing tomorrow and is offering giant packs of their poses for 1000L each!

*review* Diesel Works

Rogan Diesel is one  of the most talented pose creators on the grid. During Valentine’s day several bloggers like Berry and Zoe showed off his newest release. For this post, I’m showing a not-so-new-but-still-just-as-awesome couples pose.

Regardless of what two-person pose you choose, its about the people. The poses in his store range from sensual to friendly; perfect for anyone in your life to captue the moment. For instance, today Express and I were just chatting. Our typical day but what a great pose for an everyday occurrence.  Of course, I couldn’t resist switching the pillows to the pink textures.

*Review* StoRin Couple Poses

Express and I finally had a chance to do some pictures. Annah Whitfield has a few new poses planned for release this week just in time for Valentine’s day.  I was very happy to get a sneak peek. Also, there is a 50L sale at the store.  Even some of the single poses are less than 50L. Totally worth the trip (and of course it helps Ann as she prepares for the birth of her first baby in a few short days!).
