Strange Pixels

For a few days now, I’ve been tinkering around with a post featuring Tokeo.Plastik.  Then Achariya issued a Posemaker Challenge, and I knew they would work well together.  This outfit is just the kind of thing I go pose shopping in:  Simple pants and a top, hair up and out of the way, to best see the poses and how they affect my (somewhat oddly shaped) avatar.

The challenge:  show a five-pose sampling from one of your favorite posers.

I deliberated over this challenge a bit.  Do I show some ecclectic finds from a favorite little out-of-the-way shop, or do I feature one of my solid favorites from a place more well-known?  When I looked through my pose stand to see who I had the most poses from, there was one clear winner.  The fabulously talented Dove Swanson, and her shop Long Awkward Pose.

Dove’s poses just suit my avatar so well.  Quirky without being crazy.  Fun without contorting the avatar too much.  Full of attitude, each pose seems to tell a story or convey a definite mood.

Oh yes, and back to Tokeo.Plastik:  they’re running a big sale as they prepare to clear out stock and move to a new location, so run on down there.  Their lovely displays of interesting  items in a candy-like array of colors is like shopping crack to me, I just can’t resist.
