Hi All, Alice here! 

Strike-a-Pose is an amazing shop and is very popular with us users of Stardoll. Unfortunately, I have been unable to actually buy an item from Strike-a-Pose - but still can strike a pose without it!

This is inspired by lilrosamae's blog post about using decor materials to look like you are posing; but I have uncovered items that are posing without being labelled as Strike-a-Pose.

Strike-a-Pose is not as cheap as some members would quite like; but there are some items that are cheap that have the same aesthetic. 

Tips for Uncovering 'hidden gems': 

1. Look all the time in your 'local' shops. I found an amazing Posed Fall Look from Pretty 'n' Love featured in the picture below...

2. Check the Starbazaar for items that might be from other stores that carry the same aesthtic and look as the ones from Strike-a-Pose.

3. Perhaps follow lilrosamae's guide into using your decor to create a pose! 

Not everything has to be branded. 

There are hidden gems.

You just need to look.
