The Pretty Face pose for men...

Men can be pretty too. Hey everyone! I want to release one more male pose for the men before I resume female pose releases. I am trying to have more of each. This man knows he is handsome but he is not arrogant or deceited about it. He might be a little shy and sweet. He has a slow smile that can make any heart melt like chocolate. My store is expanding slowly so there will be a few new things after New Year's. Happy New Year to you all! May you enjoy a productive, happy and enriching 2016! You can find my pose on marketplace: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Variposa-Pretty-Face-pose/8298718. Will be added at the mainstore soon!

Fashion post, bring it on...

Hi everyone! I want to share a fashion post with you. And I have some news to share with you! My news is that I will start taking clients for photography! I am very excited about it and I hope to meet lots of cool people! It's a good time to add a bit of change. One other bit of news, I am now a blogger for Poisoned Diamond. They are a new brand and the necklace I will show you is at the Punky Bish event. I think their designs are edgy and on the avant garde side. I want to explore my edgier side. The creator is Aude Adored. You can find her flickr group here . I am blogging the gun necklace in gold by Poisoned Diamond. The guns also come in black and silver. The color and texture is great. The skin is from alaskametro<3, it's the v2.1 skin in bronze at the anyBody event. I love the tone and the texture. I also love how the skin has a sad, thoughtful look to it. It has character. I often have a pretty skin but this one looks more artsy and tender. It works with

Photograph pose released!

Hey I'm back and I have 2 announcements. First is that the A Night Before Voodoo hunt has started! The pose is out at my store and you just click the Voodoo face to receive it. I hope you like it! I am #20 on the list. The starting point is in Sugarplum . Second bit of news is that I have a brand new male pose out. I call it Photograph, the name is from the Ed Sheeran song of the same name. I think male bloggers and male models will like it. You got a tilt to one side and an arm extended out from the hips. It is elegant and suave. The hand at the hip is that way so that the fingers won't dig into the hip bone. They might if you wear thick jeans though. So this will work for tight pants. I am wearing the same pants from the Fashionnatic Vidor set. I am going low budget for awhile. I'll see about changing an outfit soonish. If you have any suggestions, let me know! They must be mesh and reasonably priced. And yeah, I finally went out and bought the Slink Physi

A December Hunt...

Hey there! Fabulous news! Variposa will take part in a cool Christmas hunt! It's called A Night Before Voodoo hunt. It's hosted by Allyson Dwyer of Something New poses and  Jἀḱḛ VσσĐσσ кησχ  (jakefromst8tefarm). The starting point will be at Club Voodo. This is very exciting for me. I have never been in a Christmas event before. Call me lazy or whatever but I didn't feel like participating before. This year I just feel more motivated. Maybe it's because I'm studying business and accounting now. *shrugs* I have been working for the past few days on a pose just for the hunt. I joined the hunt last minute but I knew I could come up with something. The pose is below and will be available inworld soon. I may even put it up on marketplace after the hunt ends. Thanks to the lovely Jenjen Sommerfleck for letting me use her land for this shot. If you would like to rez at her place, please IM her inworld. The forest was built by Felix. I darkened the backgroun

A second Jewelry pose released!

Hi everyone! As promised, I have yet another Jewelry pose, the second in the series that is great for showing off your jewelry and baubles that you can wear on your arms and hands. I placed it inworld and on marketplace days ago. It is 50L. If you are a LUMIPro user, you will be getting it in the new LUMIPro version coming in December! I have also prepared a few other poses for the amazing photographic HUD tool. Thanks to Stefan Buscaylet for creating such an amazing tool. Take your photography to the next level with the LUMIPro! Believe me, you will be glad you did. Using this gadget has drastically changed my photography (along with Photoshop of course).  You can find the tool here . Happy Black Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving for those celebrating the holiday! For style credits, it is the same as Jewelry pose 1!

New Sugar pose for the men!

Hey lovelies! I am proud to present a new pose for the men - I haven't forgotten about you. I just needed to find inspiration. This new pose is Sugar pose, inspired by the Maroon 5 song, Sugar. I just love the melody and beat of that song. Who else but Adam Levine could croon and make that song sound so suave? This is a great casual pose for males. With head held high and the body tilted to one side and legs planted wide apart, this pose exudes confidence and masculinity. Feel like a conqueror in this pose. Finally got to do another photo with Julio. He has a different skin and a different hair. The body is the Slink Physique Male. It is a great mesh body for males. You can find this pose at MP  and inworld . If you have any pose ideas, let me know in the comments below, thank you!

Jewelry modelling pose

Hi lovelies! I am back with a new pose. It will be part of a Christmas pose set. I call it Jewelry Pose 1. You can show off your rings and bracelets with it. It is elegant and classy. Women love to get jewelry for Christmas, at any time really. I think that the best jewelry gifts are given at Christmas, it's just more special during the season. I am wearing bracelets from Izzie's. The big, red ring is from Maxi Gossamer's. The smaller ring on the opposite hand is from Lazuri's. The dress is from Just Because. I love how it hugs the body. This is the Ashley dress in Copper. You can find it at FAMeshed now. I really love the texturing. The hair is absolutely gorgeous. It resembles my RL hairstyle closely with the layering and how the bangs fall onto the face. It is the newest hair from Argrace, MIYABI. Seen here is one of the dark browns. Styling: eyes: IKON Hope in Ghost hair: *Argrace* MIYABI head: CATWA Jessica mesh head skin applier: *YS & YS*

The Autumn Leaves and Catwa...

Hey lovelies! I hope you are enjoying the colors of the falling leaves and the smells of warm food and beverages. I love the orange and red hues on the trees. I just don't like the pine needles that fall on the cars and driveways lol. I am here with a new outfit, this is a fashion blog entry. Tempura looks so autumnal. I took a few photos outside the ballroom entrance. It feels so peaceful and quiet. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/tempura%20island/125/44/33 I went and bought the Catwa head. It is a bit expensive but very well made. I chose the Jessica version. I might get Annie later on, but we'll see. I love the cheekbones and the nose. Some may find the lips to be too full. I still love my old default shape so I doubt I'll wear this head all the time. It is a really nice head. I found that I had to resize the hair from Truth, it's sculpted hair and it might still be at the mainstore inworld. I haven't checked in awhile. I like how the old s

Happy Halloween everyone and a new release!

Hi everyone! It's good to be back blogging. I am finally ready to release a new pose set. It's my first full-length fatpack. Five poses are included. Evil Queen Poses were inspired by Regina Mills from Once Upon a Time. On the show, she first played the Evil Queen. The poses were modeled after images I found on Google. The dress is awesome, a mesh gacha item from {Acios}, the Once Upon a Time gown in M, it's the ultra rare so it comes in all the colors. It came with a texture HUD. I found it on marketplace. Yay for finding gachas on marketplace! I set up a vendor I got years ago from PXL at my shop, taxi is below. You can try each pose. The images have not been retouched except for some fixing of the hair line. My head is a bit bigger than the standard sized head. Visit my store inworld: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Refugio/164/75/72 My fatpack is available on MP for purchase: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Evil-Queen-Poses-Fatpack-by-Varipo

NEW! Faint Sleep pose!

Hi lovelies! Are you ready for Halloween? It will soon be here! There are already so many goodies out for sale around SL. You can visit the gacha events or gacha yard sales and you'll see it. I have a new pose I just finished, Faint Sleep pose. It is a new release for Halloween. I did recolor the eye lids, lips and photo in Photoshop to make it look more dramatic. I even had to fix the dress since it was not made for a mesh body. I still love the dress though. It shows off the legs nicely. I really like the final version of this photo. The build I used was from Sweet Revolutions, it's the Silvan Secret Dungeon. The textures are really well done. Have fun out there and I hope to update blog again really soon. I am busily searching for more ideas.

This October.... Variposa will be participating in The Photographer's Hunt. It will run for October 1st to October 31st. It is the first hunt that my store has ever participated in! So exciting! Here is the teaser I made and the pose I will be contributing to the hunt. I wanted to do something for Halloween. Fainting was one of the things that came to mind. I will try to make at least one more.

New release, Long hot summer pose

Hi lovelies! I hope you all had a fun, joyous summer! I know I am sad to see that summer is over. It was a hot one, wasn't it? School has started up again. I will try to post here as often as I can. I finally got around to uploading the Long Hot Summer pose, it was in a fashion post I posted months back. It can be found here . I will have it at my inworld store soon. You can come see the new store building here . This pose is just expressive. She enjoys the heat but she also is extending her hand out to feel rain and the relief that it brings. Cool water can ease our suffering and revive us. I really had fun setting up the shot at Black Basalt Beach. It has become my summer escape place. Where is your escape?

Variposa store news!

Hey all! Hope you are having a fun summer and enjoying those sun rays, while wearing sunscreen of course! I wanted to let you know that Variposa is now located at Emerald Island ! It is a nice sim and the LM will take you to a beautiful landing. Just walk straight ahead and my store is on the left. There are 3 brightly colored statues outside my store. Emerald Island is the home of Emerald Couture, owned by JieJie Emerald and there is Club Emerald. By the marina is the rental office. There are parcels and skyboxes for rent. Check them out! The club has regular DJs every week. Last time I checked, there was an application for DJs, hostesses, dancers and a club manager. There are 2 sim managers as well, Chelsea and Lacie. They are very friendly and helpful. Come on over for a visit! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Emerald%20Island/183/44/23 Victoria Lenoirre Go here Go Back To This Site

New release pose for July 2015!

Hi everyone! I am finally back with a new release. It is You Sexy Thing pose. If you can view restricted items on flickr, you will see a nude version of a photo where I use this pose. Judging from the reactions I got, I'd say this is a pretty sexy pose.  I decided to put on at least a bikini for this shot. And I have a surprise for you all! You are not going to believe it! First off, I got a new mainstore location. I did not think I would but a very good friend of mine found a sweet location. The sim owner is a kind lady who makes clothing for men and women, Jiejie Emerald. She is also looking for renters. She also owns a club on the sim. I am still setting up my store. I am in the process of reorganizing my vendors and loading the pose stands. But if you would like to take a look: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Emerald%20Island/154/109/22. The real surprise is that I am restructuring Variposa a bit. I will not only sell mod, copy and no trans poses but I am

It's Too Darn Hot...

Do you like it when it's hot out? Or do you like it when it's breezy and cool? I like a bit of both. I love variety, which incidentally is where the name Variposa derived from. This time, I chose a different location. Maybe you were bored of seeing Black Basalt Beach each time? I remembered a gorgeous sim with beautiful warm colors. It is called Just Another Tequilla Sunrise. It is the ultimate place to go for a fall or summer scene, spring even. If you have never been, you should visit. You will love it! Arol Lightfoot has done such an amazing job with the landscaping! For this post I am wear eye color and lip color from SlackGirl. Lips are Ronda Coll for the Ross event. Eye color is Naja for FABULOUS! Monthly themes. Incidentally, "Too darn hot" is a song from the musical, Kiss Me, Kate. I love musicals. They are so fun to see and sing along to. I have never seen Kiss Me, Kate but I hope to see it someday soon. It is a song by Cole Porter. His song

Store news...Variposa is not inworld for now.

Hi lovelies, Sorry to say this but I have decided that it's not fair to you or me to keep an inworld store when I don't have much time or energy to maintain it. Also, I feel like it was a bit too cramped and too uniform like the other stores. I liked the sim it was on but it did not allow for my brand's individuality. I wasn't able to have the sort of build that my store truly needed. So, I will be on marketplace until I find a more suitable inworld arrangement for my needs as well as for the optimum shopping experience. Thank you!

Long Hot Summer

Hey, I hope your summer is fine. Don't you wish for a long, hot summer? The title of this blog post is a country song by Keith Urban. I am not a big country fan but this tune appealed to me. Long, hot summers are the best. You can enjoy the sun and warm weather. It is a time for fairs, picnics, boating, vacations and so much more fun! Speaking of fairs, I hope you find time to check out Hair Fair 2015! It is always one of my favorite events each year. This year is no exception. I will post some of my favorites soon! Makeup seen here is by SlackGirl, Marika. You can find it at Designer Circle. Again, I am posing at Black Basalt Beach but at a different location. I walked along the beach until my back was facing the lighthouse. I love the windlight here, the sand, and the waves. That wave behind me looks awesome! I waited for the waves to be at certain positions for my photos, as you can see. Credits: eyeshadow: SlackGirl Marika for Designer Circle  eyes

Swept Away...

I am continuing my summer beach theme here. I decided to return to Black Basalt Beach. I joined the group for 350L and where else can I rez pose balls and furniture? It is such a beautiful locale. This time I am standing on a ledge near the lighthouse. I like the mist and spray effect that is going on by the rocks. I installed a few water splash brushes in Photoshop to even out the water a bit. I think the brushes will work in Gimp too. Make sure to load the .abr files and unzip the package. Here is a closeup of the lovely makeup by SlackGirl. It is available at the SWANK event. The hair is from Exile, from June's collabor88. It is one of my new favorite updos now! I love how a strand of hair slants over the face creating that windswept look.  The bikini is from Summerfest '15. I recommend that you check it out. It has summer outfits as well as some summer furniture. I will be sure to go back soon for some of the furniture. I found a set that I want. I hope you

Gonna soak up the sun...

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Happy belated July 4th! I forgot to say that in my last post. I wanted to show off one of the bikinis that I bought this summer in SL. There are some really nice ones out there. Summer is a great time to relax in the sun and enjoy fresh air at the beach. The great thing about SL is that beaches in here can be vacant, not crowded like in real life. Eye makeup is Meyla is dark blue by SlackGirl. It comes in 8 smoldering, lustrous hues. So here is my closeup. I have a cozy lounger and touselled beach hair, The lounger is from The Loft from the June round of collabor88. It is so nicely textured. Hair is from Damselfly at the July round of FaMESHed. I feel like my avatar spent a day on the beach as the wind blew her hair off her face. The bikini is also from FaMESHed, a sexy creation by .miss chelsea in the color Dusk...it's a dark purple. The trendy shoes are Marrakesh by Essenz. They are just so cool! And lest I forget, I brought

Summer in the city...

Hey, I'm back from a short break. I needed to focus on midterms. I aced both and am waiting to hear about the third one. :-) Can you believe that summer is halfway over? I can't! I LOVE summer! Summer in the city is one of the best summer songs I have ever heard. The beat and the tempo makes you feel the movement and bustle in a true city, without the noise from traffic. Below I have included the version by Loving spoonful. If there are any covers, I would love to hear them! This post features a boyish look. If you follow me on flickr, you will have seen my photo where I sport the sweats. That was my first time ever wearing sweats in SL and photographing it. The photo was called On my own. The brand is called ADRIATIC LINE by Ellan Verne. I love how he textures. Photos were taken at Old New York and a store where you can buy athletic courts. I'm at one of the side streets in SL New York. This is one of my favorite city sims. The outfit comes with the baseball

Don't you worry 'bout a thing...

Summer is such a wonderful season. You can relax in the sun, dance in the sun and go to the beach. It can be a carefree time and you can feel like there is nothing that can ruin your mood. Relax to a relaxed beat like Don't you worry 'bout a thing, the Stevie Wonder 1973 version. I also like the Tito Puente version. For this blog post, I am showing you SlackGirl's SpringShadow in a pastel green. It will be available for the FAD July round coming soon. It has a fresh, shimmery and light feel to it. Coupled with the Coquet. Ruby outfit in turf along with the sandals and it just fits to create a fun, summer look. The outfit and hair are from the June round of FaMESHed. I love that event. Oh and the matching eyes was unintentional. Eyes are from IKON. The sandals by Essenz are called Barbados and I just adore them. Strands of pearls adorn your ankle and the soles are thin and delicate...it is the next best thing to being barefoot. And this time, I went w

Afternoon seduction in SL, the elegant way...

Hey there! I want to show you a brand new eye shadow from SlackGirl. It is called Paris Dream Shadows - Famous Station. It comes in eight smoldering, sultry colors. I chose to wear it in blue. As you can see, it matches beautifully with the WAYNE Venus dress that I am wearing. WAYNE is created and owned by ChadWayne. He is a talented photographer. Perhaps you have seen his portraits. The quality is stunning. I paired the dress with Chop Zuey's Sea Mist set, a release from last summer. This is my first time showing them off. I do not usually wear jewelry because I am not that good at matching accessories. It definitely takes practice. For this photo series, the setting is in the afternoon. I am in a building at Basilique, owned by Canary Beck. It is such a lovely sim. The seduction part, that is because the pose is called seduction. The pose is one of my latest creations. I wanted to seduce my viewers with this pose. I studied photos and arm positions for awhile and I

A bird without feathers...

Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying your summer and that you weren't too broken up about the season finale of Game of Thrones. I have heard that many were shocked and upset about what happened to the characters. I won't include any spoilers to those who haven't seen it yet. Hopefully next season will make up for it? The title of this post is a song on the Game of Thrones soundtrack. A bird without feathers is a composition by So on to my blogging feature, I give you a new outfit and makeup set by SlackGirl. I'm wearing the Phoenix Outfit and the Dragon eyeshadow for The Instruments June round. The event opens on June 20th. All photos were taken at Cerridwen's Cauldron mainstore. The detail on the builds and the light effects is fantastic! I love the stone textures. If I owned a sim, I'd set up some of these  builds and go wild with decorating. Check this place out! The entire outfit is just stunning! You must wear the dress, headdress, shoes

You don't have to try so hard...

Hey everyone! I hope this post finds you all well. The title of this post is from the song by Colbie Caillat, Try. It's a song about accepting yourself for how you are and how you look. Most people today are not happy about at least one thing about themselves whether it's how their nose looks, how their voice sounds, their height or any other thing that people can complain about. We all know by now what the airbrushed male and female looks like and what people think is "hot" or "gorgeous." I have been struggling with my feelings about myself too. Each day though, I try to tell myself at least one thing I like about myself. So if I stare in the mirror it's not because I love my reflection, it's because I'm looking at a positive part of myself. It could be my eye color, hair color or if I'm daydreaming, I think about a nice day outside. We can each take small steps and brief moments to tell ourselves how beautiful we are. It may be s
