You know, I had a good spiel built in my head last night about what I wanted to post but I went to sleep, spent more time than I would have thought talking to my mom this morning and put some steak in marinade for dinner later so yeah that's all gone. In general things are going well. Thanks in part to my weird schedule and my agencies taking a tiny summer break, I'm not super busy when I'm online these days. I am doing some of the maintenance stuff I should always be doing but yeah don't always get around to. I've had the updated Tillie's hud for months before I finally loaded it maybe two weeks ago. And while I thought the old hud was full at 600 ish poses after loading the new one and all the poses I had purchased in the interim it was up to 1100 ish. Sad I know but it helped loading them because then I was able to more fully prepare for a show I had because I didn't have to go hunting to see if I had a pose in inventory.
After talking to Miss Keeley about an agency and needing to get a portfolio together, it dawned on me that I hadn't touched my portfolio in over year. So all the new amazing photos that I have had taken over the last year were not available anywhere but flickr. That's great if folks want to go look at the page but if not then it's better to have the book handy. I did update that yesterday so yippee and I was able to add the newest photos from Project 2010 from yzabelle Furhman. I opted for her very reasonable 5 pack of photos that were just for fun as I liked the outfits and wanted them photographed. One so I would quit wearing the outfit incessantly because I just loved it and the other because it was one I had prepped and never had snapped. Part 2 for this month is coming up in a few weeks and those may or may not be contest shots sooooo when I figure it out I'll let you know.
Before I get to the photos, I have to say my same fair issues came up. I went and wandered around all over. The lag wasn't bad all things considered but there just wasn't a whole lot that I wanted to be honest and one store that I got excited in turned into a letdown. I saw a pair of mary janes I adored but then realized they looked eerily familiar. Yep they do because I bought them last year at the fair lol. On the upside, the Kalnins I tried on were so hot that I had to buy them. Along with a few other out of the way shops that I hadn't seen before. It's for a good cause so please go check them out.
Okay so here are my two favorite shots because I don't want the post to get super long and I can't figure out how to make them rotate in a frame. Please go to flickr and check out the rest of them when you get a chance.

I think I'm a Fair Hater
How can you hate a fair you may ask? Well I love the ones with turkey legs and funnel cake but so far in SL I find myself a little blah with fair offerings. It took me forever to get over to the Pose Fair even though I was super exited when I heard about it, like I am with all fairs. Granted real life was so kicking my pixelated booty the last few weeks but eh no excuse for a certified poser like myself. I roamed the whole fair barefooted and missing as many prims as my vain self can tolerate. I bought lindens when I started JUST because I didn't want to be broke by the end of my perusing. It was nice to see new stores and I picked up something at This is a Fawn's shop and swear didn't know poses were among the offerings at the main store. After that and another stop at another new store to me, don't freak out!, I swore no more than one purchase at each store. At that point it was kinda not an issue. I roamed all the stores and can't say I bought too much after that as I still had most of my lindens lol. The problem with poses for me is no matter how well made they are there are only so many ways my body can pose to the left with my hand on my thigh. And because I am a pose whore I tend to hit the bigger spots as the poses are released so there weren't a whole lot of new items in LAP, Behavior Body or the like that I hadn't seen already. And the picture frames I had been so excited about from the feed seemed way too bright to be cute against my skin tone. I did grab poses at LAP and found another cute luggage set at StoRin called globetrotter but I seem to never go broke at any fair even if I do luck upon a few new places to roam. That's a good thing I guess lol more money for hair and pencil skirts. And it did give me a chance to go to Veschi and pick up some truly funky things so all in all I guess my fair snobbery isn't a bad thing.
And because I wasn't distraught about my interview for Maniera which had wrapped up shortly before my perusal I guess I wasn't prone to impulse buys. For those of you wondering what interview well I applied to be one of the agency bloggers and found out yesterday that I was selected so you'll get to see much more restrained input from me on the My Maniera blog that I'm hoping blogger quits trying to direct to a feed and lets the link go through. If not the address for those that need it is http://manierainc.com
Toodles for now
