Pose Stores in SL

Posted by : tiffani_celestalis Monday, July 22, 2013

I've been on the hunt for really good poses. A few months ago I was really into taking quick snapshots and then hacking around in photoshop, especially with composition (mixing photos).

Now I've been thinking of doing that again. But I'm bored with my poses! So.. time to shop. Here's my pose store hopping.

Price Range: 25L per pose (200L for a set of 10, 1750L for a set of 100)

A lot of poses to choose from. Nice big open store. I like lots of empty space instead of claustrophobic stores.

Wetcats
tp: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Etherea/41/231/24

Price Range: 40L per pose (250L for a set of 8 or 10, 100L for a set of 5)

A nice variety of poses. Including interesting things like a set of flamenco (dance) poses with some very unique positions outside of the safe, fashion poses. Some of the poses here did pop out -- and standing out from the crowd is always good in posing for an audience.

Di's Opera
tp: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Bonaire84/35/79/21

Price Range: 75L per pose (600L for a set of 10)

Another one of those fashion pose specialty places. The words couture, glam, and french phrases adorn the very elegant pose stands. Huge posters adorn the walls. It tries very hard to create an ambiance of fashion culture. The poses do stand out though, with interesting asymmetry to many of them.

Del May's
tp: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Terravia%20Island/231/36/23

Price Range: 50L per pose or a custom fatpack:

10 Poses = 400L$ (normally 500L$)
20 Poses = 800L$ (normally 1000L$)
30 Poses = 1200L$ (normally 1500L$)
40 Poses = 1600L$ (normally 2000L$)
50 Poses = 2000L$ (normally 2500L$)

A fancy store that screams artsy. The poses I tried include crawls on all fours, and head back anguished howls. Kind of cool and economical too.

Isomotion

tp: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Jaffee/25/251/1252

Price Range: 25L for some poses, 50L for others, 100L for many of the animated walks (1500L for a fatpack of animations)

I liked isomotion from a model perspective. It seems very geared for models including model walks and realistic turn capture poses. So runway wise it's a good place to shop. There are no pictures so you have to try out the poses yourself on the stands. On the positive side the animations are well named so when you have them in your inventory, they are easy to fish out.

MORPHINE
tp: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tuvuca/225/218/22

Price Range: 50L per pose (there is a special 20 pose set for 200L but I could not find the fatpacks)

It's very much like the other fashion type pose stores. Big poster ads, but no reveal into the individual poses making up each set so you have to try out those stands.

tp: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/GABRIEL/173/104/24

Price Range: 100L per pose (about 1600L for a fatpack of about 30+ poses)

Agapee was a popular place for sl models. There is a large variety to choose from including gown poses, kimono poses, mermaid dress poses, etc. There is a lot to choose some with some good repetitions (e.g. mirrored poses).

DeePosed
tp: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Taygete/178/162/23

Price Range: 75L per pose or 1200L for a fatpack of about 20 poses

DeePosed pops up a please do not take photographs in the store, so I did not. It's another fashionable place for posing with a unique presentation. When you try a pose there, it rezzes a mini photo setting for you, like a wall to lean on, or a fake mini rainstorm.
