When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad.
When Kavar mentioned he was going to write a post highlighting some of his favorite items in SL, I thought it seemed like a great idea and decided to copy him by doing one of my own. I’d actually love to see more people do this as a meme on the fashion blogs. Give your favorite designers some holiday love, and help the rest of us with our holiday shopping at the same time!
The first thing I noticed after going through Kavar’s post was how much overlap we had in our favorites though I guess it’s no surprise really because we do so much of our shopping together. My first pick is one that wasn’t on his list, but it’s because it’s his hair. Yeah, I know, this is the Exile blog, and his hair is always spotlighted here, but I absolutely can’t have a post about favorites and not mention Exile. Illicit was the first Exile hairstyle I ever saw, and it quickly became a favorite along with the great black texture he had even back then. Now it’s a year later, and there are so many great textures, and each new hair becomes my favorite until the next new hair is created, but Illicit will always have a special place in my heart because it was my first and because it led me to my best friend.
Read on after the cut to see more of the favorites in my inventory.

So usually all my posts on this blog are all me me me! New releases and such. But today I would like to take some time to just pay respects to the things I really like that I didn’t make, that make my life more enjoyable, better looking, easier and over all more fun. I would invite anyone who reads this to do the same, its a good time of year to show some appreciation 
Being a creator means I spend most of my time making stuff, and the rest of it photographing it for ads and vendors, So I will start with animations because I always need male and female ones for different images and things so I have a great many. Also I feel I’m guilty of not crediting them nearly as much as I should.
Long Awkward Pose (LAP)-
Seriously my favorite pose store. I have most of them and make special break times to hunt for them when I see the name in a hunt list just in case shes hidden ones that aren’t in the store lol. Dove Swanson has a way with poses, and not just female ones, her male ones are just as well thought out and executed. I always find the right flow and feel I’m looking for, and there’s a real range of stuff to from really casual low key to glam to funny and really sexy. Also if your on a budget they are really affordable (buy the packs of them, its a great deal) My only complaint is she has a rl life and I can’t tie her up in the basement and make her create poses 24 hours a day 
. So Basically if you use poses and haven’t been there, or haven’t been in a while, go there, immediately, and spend a lot, you won’t be sorry.

Vista Animations-
Creator of my AO Animations of choice for the last couple of years. I like to mix and match a lot so I just use the latest version of Zhao and switch them in and out when I feel like a change. Vista Barnes creates some great animated poses though so my stands and walks are often marked with the Vista brand. I Also recently bought a Male model pose pack from there and was really happy with the poses and the pricing. Definitely a store to check out if you haven’t already or haven’t in a while.

Striking Poses-
I remember the first few fashcon ads for Zelly Mornington’s Striking poses store. I also remember every time I went for a bit it was in a different place lol But what a great idea, Poses based on shots of famous people ranging from all times and walks. I have a growing collection of Zelly’s poses and I have to say I’m always happy with what I get there. I suppose there is a part of me that wishes she did more men’s poses but other then that I would recommend a visit. And I would also recommend the Drew Barrymore set (the pose above is from that set) just cause I really like those

Persona-
My final animation pic is Persona. Myllie Writer makes all kinds of things, poses, clothing and jewelry, but more to the point she makes my current favorite male sitting pose, aptly named male sit sexy seen above. I have several of her poses and they are all very nice and interesting also as many of you will have already seen in the blogs, she makes some great clothing so definetly worth a look if you haven’t been.

On a more personal note, lets talk about the things that are on my person next.
