Cate

1-cate-sm

One of the most anticipated releases for Skin Fair 2017 is the new LeLutka mesh head, Cate. Well, here she is, and she is stunning!

This is a younger looking head (she even comes with braces), with beautiful, pouty lips and a much softer jawline than Simone. She looks gorgeous in the default Glam Affair skins, but I love this new release from [PXL]. Ava is a very versatile skin as it looks fabulous on both the Cate and Simone heads. I was wearing Simone with this applier when Cate arrived. I’m not sure which one I prefer it with. I’ll probably blog it with Simone later, in fact.

Skin Fair 2017 opens on March 10th, so get your Lindens ready. You’re going to spend a lot.

Two Sisters’ Views

I was working on a different photo of the Freya skin from *Birth* for Skin Fair 2017 and as I often do, I asked for an opinion. Since my sis, crankygit was online, I asked her. She is always brutally honest in her feedback and I trust her implicitly. So, when she told me, “sis, you can do better,” I stopped right where I was. I popped over to see her and she whisked me into her house, tossed some chain link fencing behind me and within moments, she showed me this…

Frickin’ awesome.

I hopped off the pose stand and while just hanging there in awe, I clicked off another shot. Different. Nice. It shows off the skin, which is absolutely stunning, and also a bit of mood. I have found that I tend to change up my style when I am doing photos for Skin Fair – straight shots instead of my usual style. I hope this one does the skin justice while allowing me to be true to who I am as a photographer.

The contouring of Freya is beautifully done and the eyes are just wow! So sleepy-sultry-sexy. I didn’t wear any other cosmetics; what you see are the natural eyes and lips that come with the skin. Of course, *Birth* has some wonderful cosmetics that I will try out with this skin, but for this shot, I wanted her to be just as she comes: beautiful and unadorned.

Cranky posted another version of her shot on her Flickr stream. Go see it here. I insist.

Two sisters. Two views.

Something Old, Something New, Something Yet To Come

1-erin-full-sm

I am kind of fudging a bit, calling the watch from RealEvil Industries and harness from phedora “old”. They were just released in the February BishBox. They are great accessories, and should tempt you to sign up for the March edition, which releases on the 20th. It may not be too late, even, to get the February box at the BishBox headquarters. Click the link above and go check it out.

The “new” is definitely the stunning Iris lingerie from Salt & Pepper for Whore Couture Fair. From what I am hearing in group chats, this is a tough event to get into; but keep trying – it is open until the 31st, so there is plenty of time. The lace on this bra and panties set is exquisite and the collar (in either a decorative or RLVA version) is just so pretty and delicate. Must haves, for sure.

The “what is yet to come” is a sneak peak at the Erin skin by Izzie’s for Hair Fair 2017. This is release for Catwa mesh heads – I am wearing it with Kimberly. I love the options with the skin – you can add freckles, contours and moles – or any combination of those you choose. I honestly hadn’t found a skin I really liked with Kimberly (don’t ask me why I bought it!) until now. I am wearing a lighter shade than I normally wear; maybe this head just works better with lighter tones. But whether that is the reason or if this is just that spectacular a skin, I’m glad I found this combination.

Here’s a closeup:
