[#707] Madness

I had enough, it’s time to beat this habit
I’m growing cold, I’m caught in your madness
Soon enough, you’ll only end tragic
I hear your voice, the comfort in sadness

Couples poses can have different categories and meanings. It isn’t just for the relationship and romantic variety of photography that it usually gets associated with. They can also be considered action shots or even friends and family pics depending on the pose itself. CuCa Poses mixes a bit of action and romance with the “Ride Or Die” poses sets currently available at Pose Fair. This is the first pose set in the group and as you can see there could be action taking place before or after the scene I put together. There is even a slight hint of romance there and has a movie quality about it.

I’m also excited that Cold-Ash released two new items at the beginning of this month. The “Hawthorne Shirt (Plaid Pack)” is a part of the March round of The Men’s Department. Being that I am a sucker for button down flannel shirts this really was a must for my closet. To go along with it is the “MILES Casual Chino Pants” which is available at the Cold-Ash store. These are great for when you aren’t feeling jeans but won’t be going anywhere that requires dress pants. Anyone that is a fan of Cold-Ash will definitely want to grab these up.

[#526] Come Home

OneRepublic, ♫Come Home

In the virtual world you can have family, you can claim blood relatatives if you want and you can also call family someone you met that you have kept a great friendship for so long that the bond is strong enough that they are family. For this photo I borrowed someone I consider to be my sister and the best part is we might give each other heck with jokes but know when we get to a line and not to cross it.

I’ve known Xandria for a few years now and she herself has dabbled in photos so when I asked her if she would be kind enough to sit in on a photo session (I know that I can do them myself and have the means to but just do not have the energy or mental will to do so) she was kind enough to donate a little time so that I could complete my idea and could clear it out of my headspace to give more room for other ideas that I need to work on this week.

The only item that I am featuring as the pose set being used here is from Image Essentials. The “Polished” set worked well for my idea as well as the location that was passed along to me by my fellow blogger and friend, Gwen (thank you so much for telling me about this place!). Now that sims are starting to change their landscapes to autumn photos are going to take on a different look and feel and that is just how seasons go. Missing Melody has a fall ambience with many different photogenic spots at its location. I found a really well decorated house with all the things that make houses look good (and that maybe I would use if I knew anything about good decor work in the virtual world).

Image Essentials Polished Pose Set features:

  • Bento enabled poses (must have a bento capable viewer to use properly)
  • 5 different poses to choose from (with mirrored versions)
  • Pose HUD included so can easily pose yourself
  • Regular static poses also included to put in a pose stand for ease of use as well

Xandria is also wearing something that I’m sure the gals out there might truly like (if they don’t have it already) is the newest additions to the Addams and Blueberry store as a co-released product: the “Frank” halter crop top (Addams) and jeans (Blueberry). The crowds should have died down by now so it should be very easy to get these releases and there are tons of options of single colors as well as FATPACK options for those who are into that (as I tend to be with guys items when I can).

I think it is time for me to put this blog to bed and leave you with my sister’s style credits so until our paths cross again, happy shopping and onto the next conversation…

[#333] One Of Us Is Going Down

Because I’m hyped up out of control
If It’s a fight, I’m ready to go
I wouldn’t put my money on the other guy
If you know what I know that I know

I have returned with some more goodies from events such as Men Only Monthly, Ultra, and The Chapter Four. After a small break due to yours truly being a bit under the weather, I come back with a little inspiration.

A little bit behind this photo shoot…not long ago I went to see xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. The original movie is one of my guilty pleasures of sorts when I feel like I want a lot of action. So I thought I would see what I could do to represent that in the virtual world. I think that I caught the overall feeling of an action type movie in the photo and I hope that you agree.

I’m one again wearing the Modulus “Milo” Skin that’s still available at the Ultra event up until the 15th of February. However, I went with the “Nude” variation to appear more darker complected than what I normally wear.

{Fe Style} has the “Orlov” jeans for purchase at Men Only Monthly, which is also running their current round until the 15th. There are 8 different denim choices to pick from and has sizes for Standard (xs-xl), [SIGNATURE] Gianni, and SLink Physique mesh bodies.

At N21 you finish out these winter months with the !Aphorism! Winter Parka. I feel it really goes well with the jeans, they both fit perfectly and did not clip into one another when I was shooting for this posting. The coat has an option to add a fur trim to it as well as the ability to change the fur in a HUD. A shirtless option is also included within the included HUD as well in case you decide you want to show the world that you truly are fearless. It comes with sizes for [SIGNATURE] Gianni, SLink Physique, and also TMP.

The Chapter Four has just begun its new round for February and with that I bring you the “Jasper Eyes” from MESANGE. 15 excellent color choices for you to pick from along with a HUD that gives you the option to change the size of the pupils from xs to large. If you purchase the entire BEAUTY PACK with all of the above mentioned colors, you are able use them with Genesis Lab eyes along with the Standard Mesh and Omega Appliers it already comes with.

After putting this post together I’m all set to get some popcorn and watch an action movie. That leaves you free to take a look at the credits below and take a taxi to these events to browse around. Until next time, stay stylish fellas!
