<p>While I am waiting for the Clothing Fair to rez in one window, I am catching up on blogging some other acquisitions. Such as the oh so sexy Mourna outfit from Silent Sparrow, which I decided to pair with the new Nomine skin, Mosaic, that I reviewed the other day.

<title>RFL Clothing Fair: Adam n Eve</title>

<![CDATA[
<p>The <a href="http://slrflclothingfair.blogspot.com/">SL Clothing Fair</a> benefitting RFL opens tomorrow at 3 PM SLT. Just as last year the fair will consist of a total of 9 sims, with 8 of them built to represent the theme of &#8220;fashion cities of the world&#8221;. Each participating designer will have at least 4 RFL items in their store (and do make sure to shop from these so that you can take part in the photo contest) and many also offer exciting new releases. Its a fabulous chance to browse some of the best designers in SL and raise money for an important cause at the same time. It is, of course, also a fabulous chance to experience first-class lag, so make sure to travel lightly in terms of attachments.</p>

<p>The press preview isn&#8217;t actually starting for another hour, but I am going to be a little sneaky and at least offer a look at some of the new items offered by Adam n Eve at the fair. I&#8217;ve been itching to share these for a few days now. Plus, a new Exile hair and a brief look at Tuli&#8217;s Eva skin, which will be released on March 18th. I expect to do a more in-depth review of that soon.

<title>The Nomine Mosaic</title>

<![CDATA[
<p>Quite recently, Ran reviewed the latest male skin from Nomine, Noam. The release saw some fairly significant changes in the style of the skin which we both felt made them work on more shapes, and naturally I started hoping that a new female release might be on its way too. I&#8217;ve liked the look of a lot of the previous skins too, but they&#8217;ve not quite worked for my shapes.</p>

<p>Yesterday, then, saw the release of the new female skin, Mosaic. I ran over to check them out and found a face with just the right blend of youth and attitude for me, so when Munchflower offered me a sample pack for reviewing, I was more than happy to say yes.

<p>I do like an excuse to get naked save for some jewellery. In this case the excuse consists of Launa Fauna&#8217;s special Lapine skin for the thought-provoking <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Mirror/128/128/2">Melt</a> installation and Siyu Suen&#8217;s first new release for the <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Accessory%20Fair%202010/206/154/22">Accessory Fair</a>.

<p>At last, I can show the full skin tone and facial hair range of Noam, now that Munchflower Zaius has rolled out the full line. Besides the addition of  many additional facial hair/makeup options, there&#8217;s been a number of tweaks between this and the pre-release version <a href="http://www.hippoiathanatoi.com/Oldfashioned/Entry/Noam_Noam_Noam/">I reviewed earlier.</a>

<p>Tonight was one of those nights in SL.&nbsp; The textures&#8212;especially the alpha layer for the boots&#8212;just wouldn&#8217;t load. At least not until it was almost bedtime for me. But, I just had to get this post out, with the latest and very cool release from Solange and with the sexy &#8220;Viewer 2.0 Ready&#8221; boots from Adam n Eve.

<p>So&#8230;Viewer 2.0. Can&#8217;t say I like the UI (but until I get a lighter skin, I can&#8217;t judge it fairly; dark skins are devilspawns), but I can definitely say I like some of the new features, not the least the tattoo layer and the alpha layer. The best part is that there is already content out there for trying out how useful these layers can be, such as two collections of add-on makeups and face tattoos from sachi Vixen of Adam n Eve. Oh, and a 69 L Hump Day face tattoo, which you really ought to get even if you don&#8217;t have the viewer yet since it won&#8217;t be around later.

<p>Swaffette Firefly knows just how to catch my interest. One of those amazing, all-around designers who can produce formals, casuals, and historical wear for avatars in SL, these brand new Captain Shirts are really very nice. Nice ... and ruffly.

<p>Ran and I used to do quite a few hunts in SL, though it has been a good while since we had the time to do so. Plus, our inventories are insane enough as it is, at least mine. But the <a href="http://magicandromancehunt.wordpress.com/">Magic &amp; Romance</a> hunt organized by Morgaine Price of Mer-Elf Creations did tempt me to do some store-hopping since it is all about fantasy-inspired clothing. It is also quite a small hunt, so it won&#8217;t overwhelm you if you give it a try.</p>

<p>And if you do, make sure to check out the regular on-sale items offered by the stores too. Such as this forthcoming release from Mer-Elf Creations, the Wish gown.

<p>Corsets are undoubtedly a weakness of mine in SL. Lately there&#8217;s been a few attempts at producing a corset that gets closer to simulating the very cinched-in waist of a tight RL corset by using sculpted prims together with invisiprims. The latest such attempt comes from Silent Sparrow, where hyasynth Tiramisu of late has been adding some interesting prim pieces (and jewelry, even) to her repertoire.</p>

<p>For this look at her prim corset, I&#8217;ve paired it with another weakness of mine and another new release; a lovely long and flowing hair with beautiful flexi curls and no bangs from Jolie Femme.

<p>It&#8217;s been awhile, but Munchflower Zaius of <a href="http://munchflower.blogspot.com/">Nomine</a> has released a brand new male skin, and it&#8217;s ... well, it&#8217;s quite pretty, which I think is the plan. Before I go further, though, note that this skin is from a preview release, and Munchflower is not entirely done with the skin line. So, on to the particulars.</p>

<p>It seems to be the season for new hair textures, as both Tiny Bird and Exile have launched whole new texture lines for their hairs. I am really liking the overall look and the colours from both designers, and in both cases I feel they&#8217;re softer and richer. Exile, in particular, has really improved the reds, plus made some colour packs that are very excellent value for money.

<p>Its the season to don a mask and be mysterious and alluring. And when you want to do this in SL, where do you go? Why, to Illusions, of course, where Siyu Suen provides masks for all imaginable occasions as well as an array of other accessories, from sculpted roses worn in your mouth to horns in all shapes and sizes.</p>

<p>Siyu is very good about providing for both ladies and gentlemen, so it seemed fitting that when I dragged Ran into my post, we would use matching outfits from hyasynth Tiramisu of Silent Sparrow. She, too, is an excellent provider for girls and boys and everything in-between.

<p>Alienbear Gupte has lately produced a number of jewelry collections in collaboration with clothing designers. For one of her Valentine-related releases, she has teamed up with Sparkle Skye, and the result is the Princess Venus jewelry set and the Ciara Fae gown. I was given the opportunity to review both.

<p>It&#8217;s been awhile since I&#8217;ve picked up a new skin, so when I saw that <a href="http://lelutka.com/blog/">LeLutka</a> had a new male skin following their earlier release, I had to check it out yesterday. And today? I took the plunge, and will explain why below.

<p>Sexy new hair and sexy new lingerie, does it get better than that? Whether or not Valentine&#8217;s is on your mind (it really isn&#8217;t on mine, its not a big thing here at all), there&#8217;s always room for more of such goodies. And this week its provided by, amongst others, Magika and Insolence.

<p>I love brocades. There&#8217;s something so sumptuous about them, and its one of those things you don&#8217;t often get a chance to wear in RL. So, I indulge in SL, and the latest release from Haven Designs presents an excellent opportunity for this. And since it put me in a mood for patterns, I combined it with a henna tattoo from Huz Tats.

<p>My Internet play time is currently being eaten up in large chunks by roleplaying, so hunting down new clothes and accessories in SL has had to take a backseat. Indeed, even when a review copy lands in my lap it takes me rather long to get a look together and photos done, especially since my trusty photographer (that&#8217;d be Ran) is even busier with roleplay. But, we&#8217;ve got a king to murder, and that doesn&#8217;t happen every week, so that&#8217;s how it goes.</p>

<p>However, today I did manage to get something done with a recent release from Sascha&#8217;s Designs, the sexy and sassy Tally Hoo set.

<![CDATA[
<p>As mentioned by Ran in <a href="http://www.hippoiathanatoi.com/Oldfashioned/Entry/Renaissance_Man/">his review</a>, the Renaissance collection from Donna Flora and Ardigraf Designs includes outfits for both men and women. I don&#8217;t imagine I need to note that I leapt at the chance of reviewing the female outfits. I was familiar with Donna Flora from before, but Patrizia Blessed was new to me as a designer, and a very pleasant surprise.

<p>In a short while the feeds will be full of pink and red as we near Valentine&#8217;s Day. Its not a big thing here in Sweden, but a bit of girly romance never hurts even so. The latest release from Sascha&#8217;s Designs, Ula, offers quite a bit of that, with a bit of a period-inspired flair.

<p>As Freyja <a href="http://www.hippoiathanatoi.com/Oldfashioned/Entry/3812/">hinted</a>, I&#8217;ve my own Ugly Duck review to share, this time of one of Fade Lei&#8217;s new male skins: Gabriel. There are four tones available, with the lightest being more of a gothy RP-aimed skin, but the other three&#8212;Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael&#8212;provide some excellent variations. And it turns out, those variations go along with a very handsome, 100% hand-drawn skin.

<p>This is something completely different from both my usual taste in skins and my usual shapes. The explanation is, once again, those character portraits that Ran and I are doing. This time I needed a skin that would suit a slim, athletic young woman, nothing like the curvy, sensual shapes I normally tend to use. And there really wasn&#8217;t anything in my inventory that quite fit the bill. </p>

<p>However, since I had chased off Ran to Ugly Duck to try out the new male skins, I decided to have a look at the female too.

<p>I warned that there would be more skin reviews coming. First up today is the latest release from 5th and Oxford, the lovely Brooke. She launched a few days ago in three tones and five different makeup themes with six faces per theme. In short, Brooke offers lots of great, versatile looks to choose from, so there ought to be something for most everyone.

<![CDATA[
<p>This week is turning out to be quite the feast for a skin addict like myself, and the timing couldn&#8217;t be better. Ran and I have recently revived our project for creating character portraits for our MUSH using SL avatars (the first ones are up <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/22710140@N04/">here</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ran_garrigus/">here</a>), and that means we&#8217;re suddenly finding that we definitely can never have enough skins. So, we&#8217;re both on a hunt, and yesterday I struck gold when Dutch Touch released SjORs.

<p>Today I am returning to the future for another look at some of the items created for Rezzable&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Greenies%20Home%20Rezzable/147/187/61">The Future is Now</a>&#8221; show (read more about it <a href="http://rezzable.com/blog/winter-jefferson/">here</a>). I am particularly pleased by the chance to, once again, combine Skin Within and Tekeli-li. I think Ayesha Bisiani&#8217;s beautiful and imaginative skins go particularly well together with Tekelili Tantalus&#8217;s fantastic creations. So far, they&#8217;ve mostly met up in fantasy-inspired ways, but this time we&#8217;re talking SF.

<![CDATA[
<p>Late last night (for me, anyway) a pack of review copies from Luster arrived. Luster is the new brand from Lo Jacobs, formerly of the Church of Luxe. Not, admittedly, a brand I was very familiar with, since &#8220;regular&#8221; clothing make up a pretty small part of my SL wardrobe. However, I was intrigued by the description of Luster as having a &#8220;storybook asthetic&#8221;, and when I tried a few of the pieces sent out, I found myself quite charmed.
