Skin Fair 2017

Oh, So Faraway

Image PeepSideshow DarkwardLeave a comment

It may feel like it is faraway, but the March edition of BishBox is just 18 hours away as I write this. Yes, the release time has changed from midnight on the 20th to noon, so more people are awake to get the first look at their goodies. This also means that you have right up until noon exactly to hit the subscription kiosk at BishBox headquarters. Just click on the link above for your ride.

The hair I am wearing from Doe: is from the February round of BishBox, so you’ve got an idea of the talent of creators who fill this subscription box for the crazy girls of Second Life.

The skin I am wearing is a gift from [ESODE] at Skin Fair. As one of the sponsors of the fair, they have five locations around the two sims and you can pick up your copy for free at any of them. Don’t be alarmed that the price says 1L; you won’t be charged!

This is a very lovely pale skin with dramatic eyes and bare lips. It comes with the choice of three brow colours and includes system skins, Catwa appliers, full Omega appliers, plus Maitreya and Slink appliers. There is no group membership required, so anyone can pick up this very generous gift. I am wearing one of the default lipsticks from the Catwa Lona HUD, so no other purchase is necessary to achieve this look. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t splash out at Skin Fair! While it runs until March 26th, that isn’t that much longer and won’t be back for another year.

And that is oh, so faraway.

The second week of Skin Fair 2017 has begun, and while there are still good-sized crowds, the sims aren’t full and you can move around without feeling as if you are in lag soup. Now is the time to go and explore; take your time and demo some skins and appliers you haven’t tried before. There are a lot of very talented new-to-me creators participating and I have had fun trying them all out!

Other than my mesh head, everything else I am wearing from Skin Fair in this photo are from creators I hadn’t tried before. A couple I had heard of, but the others are completely new to me. I just love the eyebrows and eyeshadow from [okkbye]; they are great for a redhead – something that isn’t that easy to find! And this is the first time I am using an eye applier. I hadn’t realised (duh…read the information in the box, Peep!) that you could use appliers with the rigged eyes that come with Catwa mesh heads. The one I am wearing is from .euphoric and they are stunning! I will definitely be using appliers with the Catwa eyes whenever I wear one of her heads.

My skin is from ((Biyo)), another new-to-me creator. If you are looking for a dark skin, do check out this brand. I am wearing the lightest shade and it is actually darker than the photo shows (lighting, ya know). It is a bare skin and comes with a brow-less version so you can choose your own. The shading of the face is dramatic, while the body is understated. One of my biggest pet peeves with skins is when the shadowing under the breasts is too exaggerated; this skin has very subtle contouring, which I really like. Other than a couple of light moles, the rest of the skin is clean, but it has…dimples of Venus! You know, those little dimples above your bum that some people have? Too cute, and well done.

Since I wanted to focus on my face (and preserve my modesty), you can only see a peek of the harness I am wearing. It is from Salt & Pepper for Re:Japonica. Salt is the Queen of Harnesses, so even from this brief view, you can see the quality of her texturing, and the rigging is spot-on. The harness includes a 10 colour-change HUD and there are RLV-enabled binders available separately (also with the texture-change HUD). This round, the Japonica event focuses on Japanese erotica and runs through April 5th.

Peruse the credits for all of the details. I am guileless in sharing.

In The Pink

Image PeepSideshow Darkward2 Comments

Black and pink. Classic colour combination. Classic style.

JFL Hats has another new release, this time a worn wide brim Fedora – the Hipster version. I love the texturing of this hat; his use of materials on the leather hatband gives it shine, while the rich suede of the crown and brim seem to absorb the light, allowing the grain to show through spectacularly. Ladies and gentlemen alike can wear this Fedora with pride.

Now for the pink. The dress from Have Unequal at The Liaison Collaborative is classy and fun. While I am showing the back with its diagonal-cut skirt, the back and front have a daring cut-out pattern that takes this dress from sweet to sexy. It is just what you need to keep you in the pink.
