Rock on!

My dad collects records. He's an old fashioned hippie and I recall sitting on the floor listening to CCR, Pink Floyd, and Queen on his old record player everytime I went to visit. You know the rules: touch the edges only and if you scratch one of them I'll dunk you in the creek.

Mykala has made a new version of her record player on the floor and given it a table to sit on and 20 awesome poses. A thick fur carpet to kick back on and gorgeous album art to capture those long ago years. The turntable spins so you can kick back and listen to the music with a bit of verisimilitude.




She also gave me some photography tips, so I'm playing around lol


Virtual Elements!

I've been sitting on this two weeks and I'm really excited to announce Mykala's new line! It launches tomorrow, January 1, and it's called Virtual Elements. As Mykala says, "This is an inexpensive line of simple photography elements that can't be classified as "props". " And yes, I made pictures...they aren't gorgeous, but my main idea here was to catch the element itself as viewable as possible. Group discounts apply at the Virtual Elements shop and the VIP area will have it's own section, their discount also applies.

This one is called Leaf Storm, versions 1, 2, and 3. I love it and at the moment it's my favorite! Swirls of leaves just suits my elven nature.


Petal Storm also comes in 3 versions. All these will be sold both individually and as fat packs where applicable. Sexy flower bikini in the first picture not included. I see tons of flexibility in these elements and I really look forward to what you artists do with them!

These beads totally make me think "retro pin up girl" but well, I don't have photography skillz so I did the best I could. Sexy Beads also has 3 versions, as seen, and are a great touch of elegance to any photograph.

I HAD to pair up the Shower Bubbles with the Relax me pose prop. And you can see how well it went together, so it was a good idea. With several different ways to wear them, they offer a lot of versatility and suggest that just barely covered look that is sexy as crazy.


There's only one Snowstorm, but I think it's enough. Makes me think of magical white winter wonderlands....mountains covered in snow...An awesome addition to any winter picture!


Stardust also comes in 3 versions and wow. I really can't wait to see what you guys do with all these, but this is definitely another one I'm looking forward to seeing. Bright and almost magical, these stars are a must have IMO.

Down on the Farm

I'm a farm girl and this prop made me think of the days I got up to take care of the animals. Of course, I don't know if I looked quite this good lol

You get up at sunrise to wander over to the barn (actually, you get up at dark thirty, but artistic license and all that).
Little stop to look behind you and see if the various birds are trailing for their food. We had ducks, geese, and chickens. The trick is to distract them with food so you can go take care of the pond. lol
Little playing on the fence before my grandpa came out and yelled at me for taking too long.


Real farm work is an all day thing and just when you think it's over it's time for evening chores..so it's no wonder at the end of the day I just wanted to relax against a fence.

New Prop and a gift!

Sorry I didn't get this out sooner, been a bit under the weather..but here's the latest scoop from Virtual Props & Poses! You'll notice the men's poses are suspiciously absent, that's because all my mens were suspiciously absent!

The Kiddie Pool was released a couple of days ago and it's all kinds of awesome! With men's poses, female poses, and group poses as well as toys you can use in your props it's a complicated build and well worth every penny!



I almost missed the lovely gift showered on the group members! Bad SL! The 2010 Commemorative Pose Prop was released to us and I think it's awesome. This one includes both male and female poses.


You can find this in our notices if you missed it as well. Thank you Mykala!

New Beginnings for VP&P

It was a dark and stormy night. The dame said to meet her in the alley left of the tp point. The rain fell down the neck of my jacket, causing shivers to go down my spine. It was a dark night to be out, but she said she needed my help. I'd heard this area had been build by lilsparklez Sprawl, who owns Vagabonds. It looked good, this was no dive.


I found the VIP room and a sign that said if you aren't a VIP you'll pay full price, but no dame. I thought maybe she wondered off into one of the other shops out of nerves or a need to shop, so I retraced my steps.

Directly ahead of where I came in I found the group poses and just right of that were the pose sets, she wasn't in either room.


'At least there are obvious signs placed out, so I can find my way around easily,' I thought to myself. No, that dame couldn't get lost here. I know she needed help, but if I couldn't find her I couldn't help her.

I moved on to find this little adult shop secreted away from the eyes of everyone. I didn't think the dame was a triple x kind of girl, but you never knew what these classy broads hid in their closets. As I stepped across the threshold I was warned that this is an adult store. She wasn't here either. I stepped out into the rain filled night to look around.

I was at the end of the road, there was only one place left to go: into the depths of the main store. This seemed more like the kind of place for a high class dame to hang around. Props neatly arranged for viewing, trying out. I didn't see her and went on upstairs to find the members area, empty but for the members gifts....for now. Maybe she got in a bit of trouble or maybe she changed her mind. She left me nothing but a note telling me she needed help, so I had nothing to go on. I shrug my shoulders and head back to the front. It's Christmas and I might as well pick up the Christmas wrap I found when I walked in the door.

It only cost me 250L and now maybe I could get some gifts wrapped for my loved ones. Since it is only available until Friday at noon it is limited edition and the 10 poses looked fun. With one last glance around in hopes the dame had appeared, I flicked my collar up and headed home.

(editor's note)I can't be the only one who thought of a detective story the first time I tp'd in! Hi! My name is Jalestra and I'll be helping Mykala out with the blog. I won't promise every entry will be this detailed, but I had some fun with it!
