From the very first skin, that she put out earlier this year, til this one, Ryker Beck has been developing so fast. Where her first skin were awesome, and incredible for a starting skinner… Sienna is a seasoned product.. smooth, crisp textures, no smudging and or blurring to cover up hard to handle template issues… no… this skin is just pretty much flawless.

The body is toned, the legs even muscular… maybe a little too much for my personal taste and not balanced with the tone of the torso and the arms, but that is not a flaw, that is my personal preference. But… and I have to admit it, Ms Ryker totally nailed the leg shading and it they really look like the legs of a runner, long and athletic. What I’ve always loved best in Ryker’s skins is the back… yes, call me weird…. but I love the way the back is drawn on this skin, how the skin seems to lay supple over the muscles. And the dimples… yay! Sienna comes with a notmal and a cleavage option, as well as a freckles and a non freckled skin and light and dark brows.

Normally I start with a make up selection of the skins I feature on my blog, but this time I am going to end with them, because there are 16 make ups in total… and I could not pick a couple of them… so here they come… :

Other assets: I’m wearing hair by Truth (Lucinda on the collage, and Cameron on the make up shots) Coco Designs’ khaki  v-neck, Adam ‘n Eve’s Mistral shoes  and DP Serendipity ‘s Luna di Miele Champagne lingerie.

I agree… when Truth said he released this batch of hair, I thought… wha… today??? Well… yeah… he’s been working on them over the last week.. and lag probably couldn’t be worse on the sim already due to the clearance sale… so.. oh well, why not add some new to the old and keep everyone happily immobile. Clockwise starting upper left are Trina, Lizzie (yeah, after Ms Nerdific herself!), Lucinda (my fave of the week) and Penelope. Anyway.. I’m not making sense.. I’m tired after a really bad night and an even worse day at work… so I’m going to make me a drink and relax some.

Other assets: Skins Sienna by Ryker Beck @ Exodi and t-shirt by Cocoro Lemon @ Coco Designs

A simple, basic look for today, very much like what I’m wearing in RL today. The turtle neck sweater is a group gift from Coco Designs, and the skirt (slightly tinted) is the 2811 black velvet skirt from Pixeldolls. Clothing that basic needs a little accessories, so I’ve picked Icon’s LF gold/wood necklace and Coco Designs’ double belt. My beloved Bax prestige boots are perfect with almost every outfit… but I really love wearing boots with a long skirt… so they were my first choice for today’s outfit.

I’m wearing Hannah, from Truth, in coffee and Tulli’s Bella in fair (Sophia make up), which, according to the latest news, Tuli has finished and will be released onFriday the 6th!!!!

And then about the ribbon I’m wearing… November 5th has been declared Step Up day… step up for content designers, step up against content theft. This is the short of it:

Step UP! is a campaign centred on a special day of action that everyone can become involved with, and that can empower and inform people about the problem of content theft, and what they can do about it.
We are aiming for a day that draws together action, education and celebration. We want a focus that empowers people and allows them to express their own creatvity in a variety of ways. It also draws attention to the strength of feeling that there is here on the grid.
Step UP! Day will be November 5th – Guy Fawkes Day or Bonfire Night in the UK.
Action:
a) On this day – no-one uploads textures to the grid. This should show the economic power of people acting together, without harming content creators. We want Linden Lab to see the power of the feeling about the problem of content theft – and to discuss urgently strategies for tackling it.
b) As many people as possible wear an orange ribbon as a sign of support for creators.
Celebration:
The day ends with parties. Bonfire parties. That means that all around the grid, people have parties.
We’re encouraging every club to hold a Step Up! party. We encourage every musician to play Step UP! events. Everyone on the grid has a part to play. Everyone can take part.
Read more about it here. There are various initiatives against content theft going on this week, but Step Up is the one I choose to support.
