I am leaving for vacation today - off to visit someone very dear to me. I’ll be back at the weekend, but until then, I’ll leave you with a couple new releases from artilleri and cute poses from Grapevine by Grazia Horwitz. If you haven’t been by to check out her poses and shapes, make it a point to visit.

Have a great week!

I talked not so long ago about the wide variety of poses available these days in SL. Ana Lutetia, widely known the same we all know for her rapid blogging of the newest of the new releases and rich Flickr photo stream - has recently opened her own pose shop, with model poses for both men and women. The shop is appropriately called AnaLu and you can find it here (as well as several other outposts - check Ana’s picks).

I am definitely picky about the poses I use in this blog because I try to show clothing, skins and other avatar-based accessories in ways that best display them without diverting focus. The focus should be the fashion, not what the avatar is doing (IMHO).

At AnaLu, you’ll find multiple series of male and female poses - available as both singles and packs, and all with copy permissions (also critical and a total mystery why someone would release no copy poses). I believe Ana now has nearly 150 poses in her growing selection, including some cute sits as well as offbeat, less “modelesque” poses.

More after the cut…
