I did this pose from standing.

I didn't find it hard to do at all.  And I had to keep going back to frame one becuase I was having a rendering problem and had to re-do it a number of times.

As for the universal poses, I was trying them with Sydney, or Miki. I was playing with both that night. .... and her eyes popped out a bit.  Ouch.  Maybe it was  Miki because I remember thinking she had a facial morph which was probably why. 

Oh... and Wardrobe Wizard does indeed have a make art button that works.

The only thing I don't procrastinate is procrastinating. That I do right away.
