Adorkable Poses Closing Sale

 
 
Adorkable Poses Closing Sale by Adorkable Peapod

Adorkable Poses Closing Sale, a photo by Adorkable Peapod on Flickr.

This longstanding and loved pose shop is closing it's doors with a sale and promise that most the products will still be available on marketplace. This is a great place so calling all posers to this grand sale and farewell to the inworld shop!

The info. about this closing reads: "It’s been a long time coming… it’s time to close Adorkable Poses.  I have had an amazing four years of making poses and getting to know some wonderful people.  My real life has just gotten so busy that I am not able to keep up with my store as I would like.    Thank you all for your love, support and friendship.  I never dreampt that what started out as a fun little hobby for a stay at home Mom could turn into something that actually helped my family financially.  I couldn’t have done it without my amazing customers and I appreciate it so much.  Thank you to the bloggers that have also been so kind to blog my poses.  You all are such an asset to store owners and I know I wouldn’t have made it this far without you.  A special thank you to my friend and biggest supporter, Sasy Scarborough.  Without you, I would never have even had a store to begin with.  I will forever treasure our friendship and every bit of business and personal advice that you ever gave me.
Everything in my mainstore is 50% or more off, now through June 9th.  I will do my best to get everything up on Marketplace.  If you have any unused store credit, now is the time to use it as it will be gone after June 9th.  You can check your rewards balance at the front of the store.  Single poses are on the first floor and couples and props are on the second floor.
I do hope that I can periodically create something for fun or for an event here and there but I guess we’ll see what the future holds.   I still have commitments to a few more events that I will be keeping.    Thank you all  from the bottom of my heart for everything!  I’m off to have a good cry as I feel like I’m losing a limb or something!!"

It All Starts With A Smile ... And Ends Wednesday May 15th.

Last night I visited the beautiful sim, "It All Starts With A Smile" on Onyx Isle, with a friend and had a little time to look around, then revisited with another friend, Belinda Barnes today.  We noticed sim owner Kaelyn Alecto and I spoke with her a bit about the sim, since I fell in love with it right away.  Sadly, she advised me that she is closing the sim this Wednesday, May 15, due to tier costs.  I'm happy to have had a chance to visit though and she said I could blog it so others can visit before it closes.  Upon landing I was in a small village-looking area with a fun pose carousal and ferris wheel on the board walk and a cute coffee shop and other stores, but over the back hill I found a beautiful haven of flower fields, cute and beautiful pose spots all over in the form of a piano plateau, car with  mini camper poser, tree house, fairy ring, ruins, and so much more.  Bel and I found a nice cabin to explore and pose in and around yet another bend I found a beach area with even more beautiful photo ops and poses.  It's very much worth the rush and visit over there before it closes.  The Huge lettering on the hill says it all, "Smile"... and you will.

The Adventures of Bel and Soni: Unleashed Dreams, A Steampunk Tale of Untimely Significance

Check it all out online here for easy reading: http://retropolitan.org/Retropolitan_Magazine/Home.html
The Adventures of Bel and Soni: Unleashed Dreams, A Steampunk Tale of Untimely Significance

Untitled by Kara 2
My friend Sonicity Fitzroy who writes for Retropolitan Magazine in SL began writing a serial drama last February 2012 as an exclusive to Retropolitan with all rights reserved to Sonicity Fitzroy and Lowe Runo Productions.   Each month since then a new chapter has graced the pages of the magazine and in this month's episode 15, the little girls are growing up much faster than is natural by crossing over into the as yet mysterious realm 13.  This creative and exciting story has fresh twists and turns each week with past steampunk, present, and futuristic aspects all woven in.  Soni is a RL published author taking her writing skills to a different level with this fiction chapter story.

A couple of times I've sat in as an extra for photos including playing the role of an elderly woman and also that of a man. Sonicity plays herself as Soni and Belinda Barnes has the role of Bel.  Bel also takes many of the photos for the series. Their personalities are such that Soni is the brains of the couple and Bel is the brawn and together they are a strong team.

The Retropolitan magazine is a fun periodical in SL and this series has been a great addition that I look forward to continue reading to find out how the rest of their saga unfolds in the future.  Don't miss out, have a look at it if you have not already.  This is just another creative way stories are played out in SL and shared with others.

New World Enlightenment, Masters of the Singularity

Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Glinda/128/128/90

So I visited this wild place and had to share.  check it out at the above link which might take you right in the middle of it all.  And by "It all"  I mean a bizarre, almost maze like, area of various rooms or places that make for a great explore, photo ops, and some fun freebie finds. The giant ant in the tunnels can grab you if you are not careful or you could get stuck in an area  (well if you forget to tp back to start)  You really have to be a good explorer to find some of the passages to progress and other times you might just fall through some invisible hole in a floor or something. I was confused when I walked out into an upside down area and couldn't get my camera to right things for me until I found the hidden door to move on to another area.  Then when I was done I was dropped to a ground level to find a large fun spot with various games, activities and things to play on that was also super fun. Good luck!
( Maybe some pics will show some of the excitement: )
