What's your posing niche?

niche (nich)  n., v. <niched, nich-ing>
                 
                  2.  a suitable place or position: to find
                       one's niche in the world.

A posing niche is therefore the pose that you do perfectly. Something that you've just got down, and never fails to impress. Throughout looking at sceneries on stardoll I have found that certain people just excel at a certain pose.

(click on any scenery to enlarge it)

For example, .naima's niche is the body tilt. She was the first person I ever saw do it, and she has perfected it.

Melinda is probably the most talked about model on this blog, but that's just because she's so talented.

 

Looking at these sceneries it's impossible to deny that. 

As seen in these first 2 sceneries Melinda uses items as clothes. The cream top is actually layered chairs! It's a very good item to use for clothing because of it's shape, texture, and ability to shrink to a small size. It's no longer for sale, but you can easily find it by searching the starbazaar for chairs. I found one being sold for only 5sd!

New writer to the blog, Rockinellee also has a niche: Head tilts.

 I really love head tilts because they add so much character to a scenery.

 

Being stuck with your head always facing forward can get rather old, so this really keeps things interesting!

Elle has perfected the head tilt, and makes it look effortless!

This is Lauren-d's second feature on editorialized. She is currently in the final two of Pearl.Models, which is where these sceneries are from.

 

Her unique niche is elongation. I know you may not think that's a real form of posing, but I think it really adds interesting qualities to here sceneries.  

She uses clothes, and posing to elongate her body, making it look very elegant and unique!

This is the first editorialized feature for VianneX3!

Her niche is hair posing! Sounds kinda weird right? But if done right, it can be really stunning!

She takes hair posing beyond horse hair, and it really adds a nice touch to her sceneries. 

Sceneries from various clubs (Pearl.Models, ModelingWorld, RENTM, and juniormodels) and users personal sceneries .

Having a posing niche can be helpful because it makes you memorable! If you have a certain continuity in your sceneries people will be able to recognize you. Of course you don't want to do the same pose every time, but it's always good to have a back up pose. One that never lets you down (:

So do you have a niche? What makes you, you!?

PS: 50% of you think .pease. will win MelsModels! Will you be right?

And 78 votes? Wow! who knew there were that many of you lurking around, reading posts but never commenting...

Who's That? ;)

Wondering why there is a picture of three random people above? If you guessed that they're the new writers, then you are correct.

There is Linus, or Dog_boy96 who was once Linnea or .pease. if you remember [which you should cause it happened like a week ago], and we're happy to still have him as a writer, but under the name Linus.

Next we have Elle, or RockinEllee. She's going to keep you updated on all the latest modeling competitions on stardoll. Elle is a well known model on stardoll and is involved in many competitions, she judges and competes! As well as that she also will be posting about other things to do with fashion & modeling.

And last but not least, we have Sarah, AKA Sary.Babyfayce, who I discovered while perusing the comments section of the blog. She has great style and I believe she has been in a few modeling comps...?

I hope you like all these new writers and welcome them with open arms. :)

P.s

RAGE June 2011 is out. ;D

Spoiler: Rare Beauty Magazine

A new magazine on stardoll has appeared:

 It's called Rare Beauty Magazine, and the covergirl of the spoiler should look pretty familiar to all you avid followers...

It's .Naima! She said in her interview (posted a week or so ago on this blog) that she wanted to be in more magazines, well it seems her dream is coming true!

The writers are: Aima_girl and Bmb28

and the graphic designer is: RockinEllee

As you see they are a little under employed, so if working for a magazine is your dream job, go here:  http://rarebeautymagazinesd.blogspot.com/

What do you think of the spoiler?

Out of the box poses!

So lately I have seem people become very creative with their poses, and I thought I should share them with you!

One cool out of the box pose, is sitting on a chair:

One very unique (and amazing) pose that I've seen is tilting the body:

scenery  by .naima

In stardoll modeling one of the biggest flaws is the lack of ability to do anything but face the "camera" face forward. What Melinda did in the scenery above is what I believe to be the beginning of a posing revolution! Thinking outside of the box, and never letting stardoll limits get in the way of creativity -Way to go Melinda!

Another very talented model is Xoxo_Zoey:

This pose is so creative I love it!

This scenery is also very creative: incorporating another object into the pose adds a really unique effect!

Another out of the box pose is tilting the head:

Scenery by Rockinellee

Tilting the head can add a really creepy effect to a scenery, as it does here. But it can also just be impressive cause trust me a pose like that is not simple!

Lastly I will leave you with my out of the box pose:

What do you think of all these amazingly creative out of the box poses?
