Skin Fair Top Picks: Pt. 2!

The countdown is on... only a week left for this year's Skin Fair! Where does the time go?! ..As I said before, there's definitely some amazing and unique skins, and all kinds, too. So without further ado, here is the second installment of some skins I think are definitely worth checking out:

---

1. Store: **SHINE**       Designer: Love Foxdale      Skin: Anela

Anela is a beautiful natural looking skin that highlights the better assets. It comes in 4 tones: Deep Tan, Tan, Pale and Ultra Pale. I picked the 'natural' makeup to show you. It gives the Anela face a soft look. I especially admire the darker the tone the rosier the blush and lips become. There's also 3 cleavage options and 5 makeup options (on skins already).

---

2. Store: MONS       Designer: Ekilem Melodie       Skin: Cat

Cat is an exotic 'hot mama' skin. Her body is toned, but not overly, still giving her a very feminine look. Cat comes in 3 tones: Light, Bronze and Tan, each with different brow color options - so she could definitely look good in just about any hair you choose to wear, be it blonde, red, black, etc. Ekilem has also included 3 brow bases: dramatic, exotic and sexy. And, there's 4 makeups (on the skin already) called dark, smoke, soft and spring!

---

3. Store: *Step Inside*       Designer: Lany Jun       Skin: Runa

Runa is a great skin because of all the detail. There's shine in the right spots that match the face and the body perfectly. There's 4 tones available: Dark, Tan, Normal, Rosy Pale... Each tone is based on eyebrow tint and cleavage options... Runa also comes with an assortment of tattoo/makeup layers. There's 15 eyeshadows, 5 blushes, 1 layer for freckles (love!) and 9 lip color options! So definitely lots to play with that will give you a very unique and customized look. 

---

4. Store: ND/MD       Designer: Moonlay Laval       Skin: Eboni - darkest

 
It's sometimes very challenging to find a darker tone with any decent detail..I'm convinced this is one of the best skins out there for anyone looking to have a very unique one-of-a-kind skin in all SL! 

Eboni comes in 3 makeup options: brown, copper and plum. There's a cleavage option (undershirt/tattoo layers), pubic hair options and Lolas/Tango appliers! There's 2 versions of each skin with and without a hairbase and the eyes called Asabi are even included. Def. a must try... Also be sure to check out their mesh avatar, Tahira

MESH BOOTY!

Now I am loving mesh, but it is hard to find jeans... at least jeans that keep it round in the rear (know what I mean?!) See...I don't mind having a flat butt in sl but when I can get a nice round butt I go for it! And that's why I'm so glad to tell you that Butterfly Effectz just released their Booty Pop mesh jeans! Check it out:

They are currently 199L a pair, so pop on over to BE to try a demo!

Get your SALE on!

They're here today... and that's right...gone forever the next! Several sales are taking place across some of my all-time faves stores, like The Body Co. and Cheeky Pea who will be retiring certain creations, very soon.

I've always admired the extremely lovely detail of Body Co. skins but always held off getting one, 'til now (I know, bananas right?!). The Body Co. will be retiring all skins after the sale. So grab them up while you can for - GET THIS! - 50 - 75% off! Pretty amazing... I got my hands on these lovely ones:

(left to right: Chocolata - hair (extra light ebony)  .. Lilac (06 Tan) black hair ... Orchid (05 Sunkissed) - black hair )

You not only get the skin in each pack you buy, but you also get the corresponding shape which makes this an even sweeter deal. And, please note, this sale is not in their main store, it is at The Warehouse!

Cheeky Pea is also moving forward and saying bye-bye to all their sculptie products in-world as they head toward being all mesh. Find these items for 50% off for a limited time, 'til they retire to the marketplace.

Happy Shopping :)

Color-Changeable CLOTHING! ..YES!

As you know I love bringing you the very latest in Second Life fashion design so just imagine for one second when I feasted my eyes on a female avatar whose clothes started changing colors....! I literally thought I was seeing things - 'til it kept going on. So I had to ask what was going on?!  Well the answer led me to find out there's a new trend already hitting the mesh market, starting with the vision of designer/creator Kimberley Zsun, owner of KzD'sign... Because I had to know all the details, we ended up having a little Q and A and it went something like this...

Q. Tekila Vella: so why make clothing and shoes color changeable? and when did you start?
A. Kimmy (kimberley.zsun): i make clothing because i like to be busy and make exclusive creations. I started 2 years ago

Q. Tekila Vella: what makes this product so special?
A. Kimmy (kimberley.zsun): it has an auto-color menu built in that can be started and stopped, works with 3 speeds or people can choose static color handmatic, the glow and bright and shiny can be set on newer outfits also

Q. Tekila Vella: who is this product for?
A. Kimmy (kimberley.zsun): it has mutliple users like cyber/scifi clubbers, party people, general and mesh like users

Check out this montage video to see a preview of her creations and the hud that makes the magic happen:


In the outfit I'm wearing, there are also shoes and nails available that also, yup - color change!! : )

Personally, I've always wondered, where will mesh take us next - what would BE that next level, and I believe Kim has found it! Definitely stop by her store to check out the many mesh outfits she currently has out available..

NEW EYES!

I don't normally blog about eyes...but...I find these to be very unique and beautiful!

 

They are the latest release from Candy Mountain called . dew . They come in regular eye-wearing options and in a prim option, too! The eyes are not sold separately but for 200L you get 8 pairs which makes it very worth it!  Creator, Mynx Legend, has also set out a group gift set. Just 75L to join the group. You get 4 pairs of these eyes in special colors! 

Not to mention...the skin I'm wearing can currently be found at the Structure Your Skin Project! All skins there are 99L. I am wearing the Shannon skin by Surrogates and I have to say I haven't been able to take it off in weeks now! Also, the mesh hair I am wearing is a group special from Burley called Diana. It's 50L to join the group and in the special pack you get a mix of hair colors with roots for 300L.

Happy Shopping! Lv, Tekila V.

Today's SL Breasts

Boobs, jugs, fun bags - whatever you like to call them, they have once again regained prim popularity in Second Life. Currently, there are 3 main contenders producing prim breasts, including Mused, Lolas and Ecorp. But what's the difference from each? Who has the most realistic and who doesn't? And, why should I spend my $L on these? These are all questions I have had for some time, until I ran into the Modern Lady: Fashion for Breasts blogger, Tayla Arado (shown below).

Here's our little Q and A:

Me: How are the current prim breasts different from those in the past?

Tay (tayla.arado): Three years ago we didn't have clothing options and what we did have was so poorly made it looked bad, Now we have so many options

Me: And, with this change, what do you think needs to happen from this point in time?

Tay (tayla.arado): I think that designers need to open their minds, Its a common misconception that prim breasts means trashy or that you have to be nude all the time. I think that we should view these just as we did prim feet, they are to make our avi better!

Me: What are the differences between each store?

Tay (tayla.arado): Mused has two kinds, one is just a normal kind, the other is milk maids, milk maids are options for lactation and you have to constantly milk them or they get "diseased" It will often times cause you to buy all new boobs or the healing potion for them, the other mused are nice however! Also, they have updated their system to apply clothing to them no matter what kind of applier you have, so clothes are easily worn

Tay (tayla.arado): Lolas have Push ups and Naturals. Naturals are hardly ever used thus clothing ehhh its questionable on how that will look. Push-ups look the best, they have the most clothes. every designer has these, they are the best! Lots of options for clothes lots of skin appliers you don't have to worry about them getting diseased they are reliable

Tay (tayla.arado): Ecorps, they jiggle which is AMAZING! they also do lactation However... they look like two basketballs underneath your shirt, they don't look real there's no way to get them to look real, theres clothes for them though! But no skin appliers so your constantly be coloring them to your skin like prim feet

Me: Can you sum up why should women really be interested and enthused by this product ?

Tay (tayla.arado): I think women should be interested in this product because it gives us a sense of realism, no more lumpy breasts, we create a more smother us. The image of female beauty soft and smooth.

Tayla went on to mention that the prim breasts are resizeable, meaning they can be set to however big or small the consumer desires, while still maintaining a more natural look.
