Skins

Dark Imaginations

Nomine and Tekeli-li are two of my favourite stores and that always makes for a good combination. In this case, a forthcoming skin from Nomine and one of Tekeli-li’s releases from Hair Fair (still open for another week). And that’s all that’s needed, save for a nifty place to photo. These shots are in fact taken on the sim where Tekeli-li can be found, a smaller version of the grand build that used to sprawl across a full sim but still with plenty to discover.

Summer is Here

Almost a week into it, Hair Fair is still going strong. I’ve got another pretty updo to show today, this one from Amacci. Its meant to be used with a hairbase and has no bangs, which of course is just how I like it.

I am also wearing one of the new skins from Curio that were released for the opening of the new Truth District shopping sim where you can find some great creators and a really nice build that should make for great photo opportunities.

Summer Revolution

Hair Fair is here! And with it, oodles and oodles of new hairs from some of Second Life’s best creators. With the heat we’re feeling this summer, it seemed only natural to hit the beach with my first hair reviews of the fair, as I focus on the two new male hair styles from Shag.

Hair Fair: Exile

This years Hair Fair opened yesterday (well, yesterday for me when I am writing this) and the sims are already packed. Fortunately, demos for many of the hairs can be tried in advance through the Hair Fair DEMO group.

My first post shows a hair from Exile together with a brand-new dark skin from Adam n Eve, a great makeup for dark skins from elymode and a cool prop from LostAngel.

A Look at Lea

Launa Fauna has been making lovely skins and really yummy makeups for a good many years now. Her latest skin, Lea, has just been released and I am sharing a bit of a look at her today. I am also showing a new corset from Nomine and a new hair from Wasabi Pills.

Fancy Date (and I’m Late)

I have been utterly scatter-brained of late. This is a post I prepared for some weeks ago…

But, better late than never. The fancy car is a photo prop from Glitterati, setup with a bunch of poses for guys and girls. I had to bring my own guy, though. My skin is PXL’s Gaia, which I will get around to featuring properly, my hair (and Ran’s) is from Amacci and the dress is from .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

The Allure of Sakura

Sakura, the third new skin from Adam n Eve, is available both in the store and at the Skin & Shape Expo. I am showing off this lovely Asiatic skin with the help of some fabulous new props from LostAngel Industries, part of the Water set for their Seven Elements series.

Oh, and these shots are quite processed, so do demo the skin to see how it looks on you.

Skin & Shape Expo: Lyndsey from Adam n Eve

Another day, another skin from the Skin & Shape Expo. This time it is the lovely Lyndsey from Adam n Eve. I am also taking a closer look at a new jewelry set from Dark Mouse, who recently released a spring collection.

Skin & Shape Expo: Dany from Adam n Eve

The Skin & Shape Expo opened today, with booths from talented skin and shape makers filling two sims. Easy to navigate and with a low-lag build, browsing through it was a breeze.

sachi Vixen of Adam n Eve is offering three new skins at the fair. I am starting with a skin particularly dear to me, the lovely Dany.

Sara in May

I haven’t found the time yet to do justice to Tuli’s latest release, the lovely Sara, with a proper skin review, but I am at least offering a look at her here. Lingerie is always a good reason to get mostly naked, especially the gorgeously detailed and oh so feminine sets from Insolence. I am also wearing jewelry by Dark Mouse, from this weeks Disco Deals.

Dark Wings

These last few weeks I have spent mostly in neither RL or Second Life but rather in Westeros. As the maintainers of the largest A Song of Ice and Fire fansite, Ran and I have been swallowed up by all the news reporting for HBO’s new Game of Thrones show which is based on the books.

Today’s look is definitely echoing Westeros too in a nod to House Targaryen; lilac eyes, silver-gold hair and black-and-red clothing in the form of the Blood version of Silentsparrow’s latest release, the Corbie Suite. I am also wearing the lovely new Paige skin from Adam n Eve.

A Sensuous Wind

I have a weakness for pose props, especially those that are a bit out of the ordinary. Sensual or sexy certainly does not hurt either. The latest release from LostAngel Industries, Winds of Desire, fits that description very well.

My skin is also a brand-new release, Tanisha from Adam n Eve, and my hair is a recent-ish release from Truth.

Last Chance for Fantasy Faire

The Fantasy Faire is closing today. Maybe I will manage to squeeze in something more after this post, but if not this—featuring a mermaid outfit from Mer-Elf Creations and a skin from Plastik—will be the last Fantasy Faire post while the faire is still running.

That said, for various reasons fantasy is foremost on my mind right now, so expect to see more over the coming weeks when I get some spare time.

Dark Nymph

The week is flying by fast (at least here) and the end of the Fantasy Faire is looming closer. If you haven’t already been there, what are you waiting for? There’s outfits like this lovely set from Evie’s Closet and cool fantasy skins such as this one from Adam n Eve.

A Faire Maiden

The Fantasy Faire is now open and I am continuing my coverage of some of the many goodies available with two great gowns from Naergilien Wunderlich. I am also using a new skin from Adam n Eve (also available at the Fantasy Faire) and a new set of gown poses from LAP that I picked up at the Pose Fair.
