Happy Holidays and Happy New Year for Lady Victoria!

Hi lovelies! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was relaxing and nice. I enjoyed the time spent with my family. Plus, I got a surprise gift on Christmas in SL, an engagement ring from my boyfriend, Sir Roo of Totley. No, he's not my master, just a sweet Englishman I met in late October. He's so sweet. No word on the wedding yet. :-) Anyway, I haven't made any new poses yet. I have been kept busy with custom animation jobs. I have been having fun making AO stands and walks. It's challenging, but fun. After New Year's, I will definitely create some new poses. I am always thinking up ideas. Check out my store at marketplace: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/70706 . I will be updating it soon. Love, Lady Victoria Go Back To This Site

Laidback Pose released!

Hi Lovelies! I just released my newest pose this week! It's a relaxing sit pose. You can use it if you want to sit with your back against a tree, relaxing in bed against the headboard with a pillow behind you, or even if you're camping in SL. I think it's one of my most versatile poses yet! I'm really happy with how this texture came out.  The flowers add a nice touch to it. :-) You'll find it inworld here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Salt%20Creek/180/228/22 That's it for now! Take care and have fun! Go Back To This Site

New Release at Lady Victoria's!

Hi lovelies! Just released my first animation for my shop, the Basic Chest Press. It's not the first ever animation I've uploaded, but it certainly is the first one I'm selling in my shop. I'm very excited and happy to do so. Come try it in the stand! It is called barbell press in the stand. Happy weekend all! Visit my shop here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Salt%20Creek/180/228/22 Go Back To This Site

New Pose, Sensual!

Hi lovelies! I am happy to bring you my latest pose, Sensual pose! It's great for photos that you want to look sensual, sexy, or just reflective. I like to use it in the rain and with a great windlight setting. Sunrise works as does many of the other settings created by SL residents. I am working on improving my photo skills, so I have been busy with that. Until soon! Lady V Go Back To This Site

Happy Thanksgiving all!

Hi lovelies! Happy Thanksgiving from Lady Victoria! Enjoy the holidays all! I'm almost done with a zombie crawl and then I'll start on the male AO. I am still trying to come up with a name for it. And then I'll need to come up with a look for the product picture to go with the name. Designing the packaging is one of the hardest part about what I do. If you have any ideas, let me know! Inworld I'm Victoria Lenoirre or Lady Victoria Lenoirre. :-) Have a great Thanksgiving! Namaste. Lady V Go Back To This Site

Updates from Lady V?

Hi lovelies! Sorry for not updating, busy in RL with work. I am getting ideas for new poses. In the meantime, I will start work on a male AO, my first ever! I am so excited about it! It was originally for a client, but he didn't want to pay my rate. So with the help of my friend Amon, I will get started and get it out as soon as I can! Love, Vic Go Back To This Site

What's going on with Lady V?

Hi lovelies! So sorry for not updating for awhile. I have been busy with animations, custom animations. The halloween sim is finished. It looks great. I have a vendor set up there. The LM is http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lepusia/55/99/22 . Once you arrive, go to the red tp pad looks like a red paw print, click to sit, and click on Town Corner. From there, go to the Hardware Store and you'll find my vendor in there, right next to Dandara Swords's vendor. She sells Harry Potter stuff. Very cool! I like Harry Potter, what about you? I have seen the second to last movie. Has the last last movie been released yet? I don't always keep track of what movie comes out in theaters or on DVD, you know? I hope to release a pose soon. Yes, I miss releasing poses. And I like choosing the outfit and background texture for the product picture. I have not forgotten. Poses are how I got started! :-) Until soon. Vic Go Back To This Site

Busy and a quick update!

Hi lovelies! I am almost done with the last and fourth animation for that halloween sim I talked about last time. This last one is a bit of a challenge. I will just say this, it's a walk animation. To me, a walk is one of the hardest animations to create. It's maybe 75% finished. Hope my client, Aldora, likes it! I intend to finish it days before October 1st. The sim will be open to the public sometime in October. I'll put up the LM here when she says it's ok. Can't wait! Besides that, I have been blogging for the UWA. You can find the link on the sidebar. This is my latest post for the blog. I'll release a new pose soon, I hope. I've been really busy, but a pose shouldn't take me as long as an animation. A pose has only 2 frames while an animation can have any number of frames from 5 frames to even 900 frames, maybe more. It can get complicated, but if you know what you want...it's not so bad. That's all for now! Namaste. Vic G

Happy Labor day!

Happy Labor day lovelies, if you're in the US! Hi to all who visit this blog! I have not updated the Brinda collection yet, but I will soon! I have been working on some halloween animations for this halloween sim project led by Aldora Magic. The woman is amazing and so nice. She loves to help, loves to get creative people working together, and she loves breedable animals. :-) I can't wait to tell you more! Until soon! Vic Go Back To This Site

I'm Listening pose...NEW!

Hi lovelies! I have just released the I'm Listening pose, the second pose in the Brinda's Namaste Collection. I modelled it after the AO she used and it really fit her personality. Go here to see it: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Salt%20Creek/177/229/22 Have fun and happy travels! Go Back To This Site

New - Backwards Glance!

Hi lovelies! Wow, I've been busy! I've been planing and scheming about what I'll do in the future. If you recall, I mentioned that my oldest SL friend passed away. I miss her keenly and I hope she is very happy wherever she is. To honor her and my memory of her, I am creating a line in her name. I'm calling it Brinda's Namaste Collection. In Hindi when you say Namaste, you are telling someone that you honor their soul and in turn, you honor the goodness in them. Brinda always respected good, talented, and smart people in here. She encouraged me in my animating endeavors and in so many other aspects of my life. She inspired love and respect in countless people in SL. We all feel the loss deeply. This is where you can see my newest release and pictures of her and some of my other friends on the walls: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Salt%20Creek/183/238/2 Namaste, be well, Vic Go Back To This Site

Sad news and an update

Earlier this week a dear friend of mine, brinda Allen, died in her sleep. She was only 69. I miss her profoundly. She has been like a mother and beloved friend to so many. My latest blog entry can be found at the link that says "Lady's Personal Blog". For this monday, my Feminine Sit pose will be set for 30L at Salt Creek. The LM can be found in earlier entries. Be well. Vic Go Back To This Site

Animation Update

Hi lovelies! Sorry for not updating soon enough. It has been busy with me. I have 2 bits of news though. They concern the animations I made. I am done with the 2 I told you about, however they weren't up to par. Though with animations, if you don't have an actual model to go by...it's a hit or miss thing. The "crazy" animation, was probably closest to being acceptable. But, it was just a little stiff. I will put it out into a pose stand in a few days. The bellydance move was not satisfactory. It had snake arms, some swivelling, and belly thrusting, but I guess it wasn't enough. I'm thinking of making my own belly dance animations for my own pleasure. I'd like to get more movement in the legs...travelling across the room or at least a few meters. It is a challenge but a fun one! Perhaps someday I'll make another crazy animation. I might have more ideas up my sleeve. ;-) I will try to post again soon. I need to transfer some files to thi

Animation Creation

Hi lovelies! Guess what? I have started making animations. I'm working on 2, both are custom animations. The most challenging one is a belly dance animation. It must be sultry, sensuous...and realistic! I'm using Qavimator. I'm still learning Blender. Fortunately, I know a little about belly dancing technique. It helps me to watch youtube videos, but I also know how it's supposed to look when I try the move myself. What animator doesn't try the pose/animation while they're creating? When I finish, I'll put it in a animation stand at my store. I'm so excited to see how it'll turn out! Just a cool illustration I found by googling belly dance. Go Back To This Site

Moody Sit and Monday Midnight Mania Group

Hi lovelies! Did I mention I'm in the Monday Midnight Mania group? Well if I didn't, I apologize. I have posted a few of my poses in that group a few times already. I think I joined the group last month. It's a great group owned by Kiera Seda. I'll post the group URL later. This monday, Moody Sit will be available for 30L! That's less than half the regular price! So come over and see it. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Salt%20Creek/177/229/22. If you like it, then purchase it. Have fun and take care!

Lady Victoria's blog is becoming syndicated!

Hi lovelies! Days ago I filled out some forms to be added to some SL feeds. I'm so excited! I've just been added to the SL Chic Critique blog! There should be a linkback at the end of this entry and a link for them is on my sidebar. Oh happy day! I'll write to you soon! Go Back To My Site

Unveiling Moody Sit

Hey Lovelies! I released my Moody Sit pose a couple days ago. It's a ground sit that I originally made for a client. Both legs and crossed and you can see that the woman is leaning forward. But, her head is raised a little. Come to my shop in Salt Creek and try it. I hope you have fun trying it out. I had fun making it. Any feedback is welcome. Here's the link again if you'd rather insert it into the URL bar in your own browser: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Salt%20Creek/177/229/22.

Animation in Blender?

So many people probably recoil in fear when they hear the word "Blender" as in the sculpting 3d program that you can get free from blender.org. It is hard to install and it's even harder to use. But all is not lost. If you look for blender tutorials, you can find some really helpful ones. Lately I talked to a fellow animator who said I should try to use Blender to create animations. So, I will try. It seems somewhat easier than what I had expected. So if I don't release anything soon, you can be sure I'm struggling in Blender. Mesh is coming to the maingrid, Agni, and I want to know how to create with Blender by then.I still don't fully understand about mesh, but what I'm hearing is that it will be more expensive to upload mesh objects. Here's a link to a blog by Nalates. If I can handle GIMP and SL viewers, I think I can handle Blender. :-)

Happy Rez Day to Me!

That's right, it has now been a year for me in SL. On this day at 11pm Eastern time I rezzed in Morris AKA Ahern. I was new, lost, and awkward. I was surprised when a woman, now a dear friend, IM'ed me and started helping me out. I had walked by her at least twice. Her IM's stopped me in my tracks and then others around her started to IM me also. While I haven't heard from them since my first week, I still talk with her regularly. I don't know if I'd be in SL if it weren't for her. Days later, she showed me her sim. I was so amazed and awestruck. And I still am. Her sim is my home in SL and I am always struck by its beauty and the tranquility I feel there. I've met so many more helpful people since that night. Not all have been nice, but I have certainly learned a lot. I have learned building basics, how to get along with others in the virtual world like the code of conduct in SL (no pushing, no griefing, how to AR people etc), how to create my own stuff

My Lovely Temptress pose

Hi Lovelies! I have released my latest pose as of several days ago. I was busy with other matters, so I did not get the chance until now to blog about it here. I have a new shop in SL as well. The sim is Coyote Country Saloon. My friend kain has a store there too and she told me she liked it there, so I have finally established myself there. I am still decorating and setting up there. The vendors are working there. I will have to include the LM later. If you don't want to wait, you can check out my marketplace page on the side widget. I have made it my mainstore in marketplace, instead of the Ross store. I have also left my store at Verona Beach. I loved it there and I loved the landlords, but it was too quiet and isolated. I felt a bit depressed there. I needed a change, so now I have a change. And I hope it's for the best!

What's coming up?

Hi lovelies! Well first off, Happy 8th birthday to SL! That is epic, isn't it? I'm pleased to say that my rez day is approaching...2 more weeks! I can't believe it! I've learned a lot, had a lot of fun, made many great friends, as well as had my share of disappointments. It has been a good experience for me, above all. I just want to give a big warm thanks to all those who have helped me along in my journey. I wouldn't have gotten this far without them. I have gotten inspired and am working on more poses. My latest one will be done soon. The good news is that I have finished the custom poses. I will keep an eye out and ask around for anyone who wants custom poses. In the meantime, I'll be keeping busy. Until later! VL

Birthday and free gift!

Hi lovelies! My birthday has passed! I gave out a female sit pose in group. I'll take a pic of it soon. It's free to those in my group. For others, it's 75L. I hope you like it. I spent a week on it. I love it! Yay me! *hugs*

SL economy findings and what I'm up to

Hi lovelies! I logged into my dashboard this morning and I read the information that Linden Labs has released about the SL economy. The value of the Linden dollar has gone up and the user base is relatively unchanged. Here's the link if you want to read the whole thing, it's cool. I have a few poses I've made for a client. I need to get product pics and then I'll put them up for sale. Hopefully that will be soon. I do have 2 more poses to do. I like custom work. It's a good challenge when someone gives you a project to do and you have to figure out how to achieve it. Making poses in Qavimator isn't easy, but once you get the pose looking how you want it...it's such a reward! I feel like I've won the lotto!!!! LOL. Nah, but it's just a GREAT feeling! I can't wait to get to my 20th pose! In the meantime, I'm trying to get ideas for some freebies and items that feature my logo. Although, I am wondering if I need to redo my logo. Hmmmm...lots to

Sorry for not updating, lovelies!

RL has been keeping me busy. And sometime last week I took on my first custom job/jobs. A client wants me to make several sit poses for him...for his builds. I'm really excited and I expect it will take me a few weeks to do. I do do custom poses. I like the challenge. I'll keep you posted. Later y'all! Have a great week!

See this view, right!: Aladdin's pose

I released this pose a few days ago this week. I had to name it Aladdin's pose, otherwise my vendor wouldn't recognize it and then I couldn't even turn on the vendor. Haha. Hope you try it out!

Statuesque Sit Unveiled

Hello lovelies! Just days ago I put out this gorgeous pose in all my stores. I hope you guys love it as much as I do! I created this at least a month ago, but I wasn't sure what to do with the arms. I always seem to talk about the arms. But to me, no pose is complete without the right arm positioning. I was just thinking last night how making poses is like making sculptures. You have to work at making the figure stand just so to get the desired effect. When you're done, you have a masterpiece! Though with poses, the art can only be seen when an avatar is sitting on the pose ball. It's all art to me. Speaking of art, my article about Sabrinaa Nightfire will soon be ready to be read in Palais SL Magazine. I wrote it in honor and remembrance of her. She was such a talented, bright woman and artist in SL. She really had an awe-inspiring presence. Once the magazine is available to the public, I will let you know. I am just so touched and humbled by all the gifts I saw at Erato o

Unassuming Pose

Days ago I released it at most of my stores. It's not at The Bottoms sim. That store is under construction. I am redecorating my stores though. I can't seem to attach pics. It's a standing pose. Arms crossed and one leg crossed over the other. It's a fun photo pose. I put it in my pose stands. I hope to eventually have one pose stand to sell with all the poses in it to be used with a photo studio. There are so many out there, I know. But I could just make the poses. I'm also thinking of an AO. I took an AO class at NCI. But we'll see. Have a great weekend!

Lady Victoria Store updates

First off, I wanted to say that I did not give up my store at Verona Beach. I really didn't want to, but I felt that I wasn't benefitting from the location. It's a nice sim and there are some cool texture stores near my store, but it was just so quiet. All my advertising hasn't really helped at Verona. However, I talked to rosal, who manages the sim, and she and Funloving convinced me to stay. I'll give it one more try. I reduced prims I'll be using, but that's okay for now. Sometimes you got to cut back. Besides, I have some low prim vendors. All I need to do now is add some decorations and furniture to the store. I have plenty of room. My second bit of news is that my friend, Henrik Abruzzo, has let me put a vendor and 2 pose stands in his store. They're on the first floor in one room to the right of the main room. He gots 50% of any sales I make. I think it's a pretty good deal. And I just love his store and the ambience. He's a great guy. Joi

See this view! Pose released!

Hi lovelies! As of today, you can now buy See this view! pose. It's #4 in my Celestial Pose series! I was inspired by that gesture in Disney's Aladdin when Aladdin is up on the roof with Jasmine and he gestures out at the city below them when they are up on the roof or on the magic carpet. It has been awhile since I last saw that movie. I intend to make a See this view! pose that points the other way too. This was another challenging pose because of the arm that points out. The arm would look disjointed. It's like you have a cloth wrung out and you want to loosen it. It took me an hour or so to unwring out the arm. I'm pleased with the results. And the outfit was from the She Wants Revenge closing sale. The jewelry was included in the outfit. It's an Adored outfit. It came in blue, purple, red, and black. You need to go to Hayman , all outfits are 10L. Hurry! But the pretty pumps are 80L, sorry ladies. I really liked them, but I think I have enough shoes. And a bit

Provocative Pose and Picnic rug released!

Hi lovelies! I finished Provocative pose today and uploaded it! It took me days. The problem was the distortion around the elbows. That's if the joints look like they're poking out of the sockets. It just shows as black or brownness on the avatar. You don't see bones. Lol. It just looks ugly. After a million tweaks it turned out like in the pic. Then I polished the picnic rug.I have 4 cushions and 3 poses in each cushion: star gazing, picnic sit, and lying down cradle. It's set at 150L. I might upload another flannel texture maybe a blue one. I'm not using MLP, just a script that detects several animations in a prim. It's great. Take care y'all!

Lazy Lounge Pose released!

This is a perfect pose for lounging on a sofa or chair! Only 75L. It is probably my best pose so far! You can see it at my Verona and Ross stores! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Verona%20Beach/136/60/23 http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ross/54/134/52

Picnit Sit pose

Hi lovelies! I have just released my latest pose inworld, Picnic Sit pose. It's great for sitting in the grass or on the beach. It's at Verona Beach, Ross, and The Bottoms, http://slurl.com/secondlife/Pineapple%20Bay/19/75/36. I have a new location at Lili's Couture as well.http://slurl.com/secondlife/5th%20Avenue/35/58/22. It's a free slot until I get business going. Then it's a 40/60 split.

Moonstruck and Redemption Poses Released!

Hi Vic Store Lovers! I have just released 2 new poses, pose 2 and pose 3 of my Celestial Pose Series. Moonstruck Pose It was inspired by the Moonstruck movie starring Cher and Nicolas Cage. It is one of my favorite movies, by the way. If you haven't watched the movie, you should. Redemption: Sun Exultation Pose I love the sun. Sun exultation was my first choice for the name. But then I realized that it reminded me of one scene in the movie The Shawshank Redemption. Tim Robbins was brilliant in that movie, by the way. It's a very powerful feeling when you feel like you've been redeemed or saved by something or someone. I want to dedicate this pose to the people I've met in SL who make me feel like I've been saved or redeemed. We're all put on this earth to do something worthwhile like helping others. I've slowly begun to realize how lucky I've been to meet the people that I've met. I will always be thankful to them. I also have one umbrella sculpt for

Picnic Sit pose!

Hi y'all! Lately some of my friends gave me this cool idea to make a picnic blanket with some poses! What I want to show you is my first sit pose...Picnic Sit! I took a few pictures at Ode this afternoon. The tall grasses and the wide open field made it the perfect place for a photo shoot. The price will be set at 75L. I realize now that 5L is too low of a price. My picnic rug will be for sale soon. I need to redo the poses on it. Take care, y'all!

Now you can visit me on marketplace!

Busy day for me, but I finally added 2 items to marketplace! Which ones? Star gazing Lying down cradle https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Boxed-lying-down-cradle/2006770 Both are set for 5L. Please come see them! Tell your friends or anyone who wants affordable poses! The price may go up in the future, but we'll see! Thanks all! Join my group too, if you like.

My first set of products

These are pics of what I have so far. You can get them at my Verona beach store for 5L. The sofabed is 7L. Lying Down Cradle Sofapose1 Star gazing Sofabed This is 7L because there is an extra pose, one that I didn't create but I thought it would be fun to include. Come try it and see what it is!

Welcome to Lady Victoria's blog!

Hi Lovelies! My name is Victoria Lenoirre, I own Miss Vic's Store and the group is Miss Vic's Store Group. That group can be found in search or from my groups if you click on my profile inworld. I am also working on some signs...like a VLC signboard and some directional signs that say "New", "Free", "Animations", etc. I have 3 poses out...star gazing, sofapose1, lyingonsidecradle. All 3 are at my shop in Verona Beach . I am working on animations and more poses. Plus, I finally figured out how to make sculpties with Precision Sculptor. I like to work with programs offworld. And one last thing, I plan to set up a store at marketplace. I'll post the link as soon as I can! :-) I will post some pics later. I hope you are all well! Take care, Vic
