Welcome to the New Age

The new year, and the new skins. Every year in Second Life I come to find more talented skin makers, the tastes of the people in skin evolves, and the quality each year surpasses the last. No joke, I really do believe that skin making takes a lot of skill and talent. Then again, I'm not a builder whatsoever, nor anything of the sort, but with how picky SL residents are, and the fact that you skin makers are able to meet our demands.. Props to you, guys. So, that brings me to a little store that you might have heard of, The Body Co.

The Body Co for the last year has gained a lot of popularity for the realism of their skins. I do have to admit that their highlighting and shadows on the skin is superb, they even give a slight shadow to your armpits so it creates an illusion of dimension. My one and only complain, apart from the price that has stopped me a couple of times from investing in more of their skins, is the fact that you have to actually use their make ups, and the make ups that are made for the body. They don't actually come with the skin, like they do in so many other stores, but you have to buy make up packs that are compatible with the skin, and that skin only. Now... On the plus side, you do have a lot of customizing options with their skins, and it blends flawlessly every single time. On the other hand.. it does also limit the way you can customize the avatar, and it can also get a little pricey by the end of the day.

Now, with that said, until Jan. 31, you are able to get most of The Body Co. Skins for only 500L. And their make up packs for 250L. By the end of the day you're saving a buttload! Now with the sale the prices are very reasonable, and you can get one of the best skins in the grid for almost nothing. The sale is located at theWarehouse, and in there, you can also find a lot of old favorites from big stores like Armidi, and Leverocci, and for only 100L. It's for sure worth a walk through after you get your skin.

Make sure to stop by the sale today and get your own skin today! And remember.. just because you are limited in your make up options, doesn't mean that you're not able to customize your skin in any way you like. I added freckles to my skin, and my own lipgloss from LAQ. If you're looking for individuality, you can very well still get it with these skins.

The World is Not Enough

So, going through the grid, I found a great place for men's clothes that also has some female goodies, and well, I thought, why not?

You might have heard of it, it's a little place called Kauna and their clothes... well, they're to die for! The opened shirt for women it's a must have for all girls out there that like to raid their man's closet. And the military jacket that they have? Extremely cute! And not only that.. it has limitless combinations since it comes with an HUD that you can control the color of every piece of it, like the actual coat, the strands, the buttons.. so.. you can make every wacky combination your heart desires.

Today I'm going to be showing you my favorite looks, a suit for me, and the opened shirt for women, which make for an extremely sexy look for all. Classy and sexy, reminds me of James Bond. And since the model's name is James for my guy.. well, kinda fits, right?

Also, last note for Kauna, it's extremely reasonably priced. The suit was around 800L, and the shirt around 250L on me? So.. not that big of a dent in your pocket for the quality mesh work that they do.

G Field Newness

So, as I've said before.. I'm a sucker for anything vintage, so when I saw the newness from G Field, I ran and got it in a jiffy. It also has a matching hat you can buy for it.. But.. I don't know, I have always hated the fact that you need to modify your hair, and the hat, and spend about three hours making it look right just so you can wear it! It's for that reason alone that I only buy hats that come with hair attached to them! >< Someone should look into this problem, I swear.

Today, I'm also in love with this Alice Project hair, which is gorgeous. Gives a certain innocent feel that makes it look rather cute.

I also bought a new pair of shoes from G Field to match the dress, because I am a shopaholic like that.. the end result.. well, adorable!
