Strike A Pose Review + DIY Leg Pose
Yesterday brought a new store, Strike A Pose, a store dedicated to clothing to give the appearances of different poses for your medoll.
Sadly, it was limited and the numbers were low so it sold out within hours, leaving people who missed it a little annoyed at how little warning we were given.
Stardoll also promised access to the store for non superstars today but obviously everything was gone, taking away that hope they had given to non ss.
I found this extremely deceiving of Stardoll, they should've just kept it for only ss or they should've had more pieces of each to give non superstars the chance to own some of the items.
I loved this collection nonetheless and, though disappointed I couldn't get a piece, I think it was a great idea and I'm definitely going to buy some in bazaar when it becomes sellable (I've already made a deal for the street style latte pose for then).
The most popular item, no doubt, was the New York Blazer Denim. As I recall, it was the first to sell out and there's already a lot of people looking for it, I'm sure it'll become quite rare in the future.
If you, like many others, missed out on it, here's a simple way to mimic the look.
You'll need:
- Some jeans for male dolls
- 2 pairs of the same shoes (make sure they cover your entire foot)
- a shirt (preferably long)
- a big, tall item (I used a decor guitar case)
- another decor item (I used a flower pot)
You might also need a jacket, depending on the shirt
1. First place the jeans on your doll like so.
2. Put your dolls shirt on like normal.
3. Put on one of the two pairs of shoes.
4. Place your tall item on your doll, to cover your leg.
5. Flip the other pair of shoes and place them so it looks like a foot.
6. Cover the other half of the second pair of shoes with another item.
7. Add a jacket if it looks too messy... Or if you think the outfit would look awesome with a jacket.
8. And you're done!

Fashion Fix - HB Valentin Jacket
One of the months hotbuys, the Valentin Jacket, has been released.
On the hanger it looks gorgeous, a casual yet classy jacket. 1
However, when you try it on your doll, you get something with a gap in between your doll and the jacket, covering your hands. 2
It looks a bit weird, and obviously real life jackets don't look like that, so how can you fix this?
All you need are some black items, like that tank top and skirt! 3
Simply place the items to cover up the gaps and put them behind everything else.
You should end up with something like this! 4
I hope this helped you in some way. Styled this in an awesome outfit? Show me in the comments!
Until next time...

Outfit Of The Day #7
 |
| Bonjour Bizou Tompkin Square Dark Jacket - 14sd Top designed by TerryBear - 10sd Hot Hot Buys Lace Denim - 18sd Cheap Monday Carly Ellwood Shoes - 13sd |
I love the top, I just bought it from TerryBear's bazaar and I don't think this shows it off enough, so here's what it looks like underneath the jacket in all it's glory.
It's cute and I have quite the obsession for ponies and unicorns as the My Little Pony sweater I'm wearing as I write this would suggest. I have about 3 pony shirts in real life so it's only fitting I have a unicorn shirt in the virtual world as well!
Love it? Hate it? Don't hesitate to tell me below!

Callie's Picks #8 - Head Over Heels
There was a clear Valentine's Day theme and a lot of nice pieces.
This time the chosen items and their prices weren't too scandalous, the worst probably being that heart top, originally a freebie, and the Special Edition Guitar, which if I'm correct is quite rare.
Nothing in this collection really stood out to me at a first glance. There are some quite nice items though a lot of them are definitely not the sort of items I would buy or use.
Overall though, this collection is okay, though I think Stardoll could've chosen better pieces.
The items that captured my attention at first are probably the Micro Hearts Fall Dress (priced 20sd) and the 2010 Dress Inspired by Marc Jacobs (priced 25sd). I bought them as soon as I saw them.
These are my favourite items of the collection:
What do you think? Are you happy with Callie's choices for this issue?
