Torrid Midnight has been in SL for a very long time. She seems to have taken on everything creative from art to clothes to animations (and that’s only the stuff I know about for sure myself) and mastered it, so it’s no surprise that she’s one of my favourite posers these days.

She’s also been extremely prolific lately, coming out with new releases nearly faster than I can keep up (but I can, mwah ha ha!), and each and every one of them are so different and fresh too. The quality of the anims are fantastic too, with smooth transitioning. Nor will you find overpriced pose packs; I think all of the packs are around the L$500 range, which I think is pretty reasonable.

Geometry is one of my favourite sets for standing poses, so it’s not surprising as I was going through my Torrid poses, that all of the ones I liked came from that set. On the left is Geometry 04, in the center is Geometry 06 and on the right side is Geometry 03.

The Adore poses are a set of five poses for couples, and one of the only ones I’ve never really had to adjust to fit properly to me and my pose partner. Maybe Cat and I were just lucky, but I like to think it’s fate. I liked them all so much, but these three stood out to me for the feelings they evoked in the photos, even though they’re fairly simple and taken with a backdrop. And yay for offering a fatpack option of these poses!

The Step pose set is one of the newest sets, and when you buy it, you get 10 different poses you can put in your stand separately, if you want to use your own stairs, or you can use the included menu-driven stairs, which is the lazy blogger’s dream.

Torrid’s latest set is the Paraplu pose set. When you buy the set, it comes with two versions of the Paraplu, the shown one above, which is pattern-changeable, and a closed one you can use as a prop. One of the coolest things about Torridwear animations is that there is almost always a matching AO to the pose sets, so if you really like one of the sets and want to walk around with your umbrella (ella, eh, eh, eh, eh), you can!

Torrid makes some of my favourite poses ever. I could have taken so many more pictures, but…well, all good things seem to have to come to an end sometime, right?

Make sure you check out Torridwear if you’ve never been (though I can’t actually imagine anyone not having been to her store).

And, today is kind of a special day, so stay tuned for the Animations Day 4 1/2 later on today, featuring Kari’s pose props!

You’d have to ask Catero what he’s wearing if you want to know. I have no idea of any of it except his pants, and that’s only because i have the same ones in black…so if you want to know about his pants, they’re Gritty Kitty Chute pants.
