New Pose Sets - Sugar & Spice @ [LAP]

Long Awkward Pose In-World

Finally got these two sets out at my Main Shop location and I'll be rolling them out to my satellites soon.

These sets were inspired by Avril and Taylor for a bit of punky and sweet. I named them Sugar and Spice. This is my first time using a lot of hand morphs with the poses, I normally avoid it because SL isn't reliable with hand morphs - but I think these came out okay. I would recommend using an emoter HUD with them for added fun!






If you haven't yet you should join my flickr group, see what others are doing with [LAP] poses, get sneak peeks of new poses and participate in fun bi-monthly contests!

Hope you all are having a great weekend! <3 Dove

Sugar & Spice Coming Soon to [LAP]

I'm having a bit of delay getting my couples and group sets boxed up, so in the meantime I'm working on singles pose sets and freebies for my group. Yay! Here's a peek at some poses from two sets I've just finished up last night: Sugar & Spice. Inspired by that punkyfresh Avril and sugarsweet Taylor. These will be coming to my shop this weekend sometime. <3

Important Shop Info - Pose Replacements!

If you have purchased pose sets from me between June 20th and July 17th, please read on!

In my sets I included two versions of my poses. One set is more AO-friendly, but the ones labeled PR4 are the ones I am replacing at your request. I goofed up and left the heads loose on them, and the photographers and bloggers out there have been heard. :p I reupped them ...once again...and now the PR4 (priority level 4) poses are now completely static. No loose heads. Hooray!

So if you would like a replacement set, please get your transaction information to me in a notecard and I will get it back to you as soon as I can. Sasy posted this helpful information that I'm going to paste here for those who don't know how to find transaction information or what to do with it:

The page to go to on the second life website is: https://secure-web4.secondlife.com/account/transactions.php

what you need to paste will be the whole transaction, something like this:

898826647
Date:time of transaction
Object Sale
Description: something something
Region: a place
Destination: a person
L$150

You will find your transaction details by looking on the day, using the dropdown, that you purchased the items on and highlight by running your mouse over the transaction, then if using windows CTRL C, then CTRL V into a notecard in world, then send to Dove Swanson.

Sorry for the hassle everyone, and yes, I have lots of newness coming to you guys very soon, as well as some freeness for my group (you should join it if you're not in it!). Thanks!

Non-Fashion, Spank me.

***UPDATE****
FIXED!!!! A very helpful forum user was able to give me a tip. Apparently the newer models come with bundled (forced) security software. So, if you come across this problem, make sure to uninstall the 'edata security' software. That's all I did and it fixed it. I'm only bumping this to make sure people know and just incase anyone else has this problem you guys will know what to tell them. Thank you everyone!
****UPDATE****


I know this is poor form to post something non-fashion related on the feed, and doing so with my shop blog. :o Whoops. But this is important to me.

Some of you might know that I've been struggling with a dying computer for weeks now. I finally decided to call it quits with the old beast and so I got a new computer wednesday. It's lovely, it works wonderfully. I didn't actually try uploading anything until Sunday, and that's when I ran into a problem. For some reason I can't upload - at all. I have no upload dialog menu. I crash if I try to force it to find a file. I crash crash crash. I've done everything I can think of - uninstalled, reinstalled, different accounts, different viewers. Today a friend pointed me in the direction of a JIRA that is my problem exactly. Apparently it's a new model Acer issue, as that's what my computer is too.

If any of you want to take a look at the symptoms in the JIRA comments and give me ideas or suggestions - I'd love that also. But if you could just take a moment to go there and simply vote on the issue, I'd appreciate that muchly.

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-7264

This is rather crucial...it might not seem like much, but without the ability to upload - LAP comes to a grinding halt. I'm going to steal a computer from my mother or brother to try and use for uploading in the meantime, but that will be such a tedious process I can probably assure you that I won't accomplish much at all. So, for those of you who care about this at all, and my sanity, please vote!

Thank you! <3 Dove
