More Than Meets the Eye

Over the past few days weather has surely given us the impression in my part of the world that summer is over. Huge amounts of rain pouring down, wind causing trees to crash (unfortunately also the famous Anne Frank chestnut tree that she could see from the attic window)  and, oh well… it’s time for fall!

Jip and Yri are the two lovely new faces at Dutch Touch.  With an improved body shading and make ups a plenty, these are just must haves. Jip is available with dark brows only, Yri comes with brown (also suitable for the more fair headed among you) and red. For Jip, Iki has made some gorgeous liptsticks on the tattoo layer, but you’ll find that they might also work with some of your other DT skins.  All skins have bald and hairbase versions, freckle options and cleavage versions.

Visit Dutch Touch to try on the demos. Jip and Yri might look different on you because of your shape

On the rare occasions that Hunain and I go shopping together, we usually end up challenging eachother. Last night, he wanted me to show a suit at Aoharu and he was wondering which one to chose. I dared him to go as far away from his usual beloved black, and pick white, which, being a good sport, he did.  I picked pink, because I bet I’d look hotter in a man’s suit that he would. I’ll leave Hui up to posting his own look with Aoharu’s Elegant Suit, but in the meantime, here’s my take on it.

Look of the Day, July 12, 2010, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Some days I just feel like posting credits to a look and a link to my slurl page, other days I am more “talkative”. Today is such a day.

With the release of SecondLife beta viewer 2.1 it has become possible to wear multiple clothing layers (up to 5)and the blouse of the same kind. For instance, In this outfit, I am wearing 2 jacket layers. for the top, and the blouse. Now technically I still could have solved this by wearing the shorts on the underwear layer, the tank top on the shirt ánd pants layer and the blouse on the jacket layer, but hey, SL has this silly bug that leaves a gap between the shirt and the pants layer and I hate that, so this is a wonderful solution.

This means that you could also opt for a tattoo hair base and tattoo lashes, and still be able to wear your favorite tattoo beauty mark and lipstick… see the possibilities? Good development I’d say. Now of course there are lots of residents who couldn’t care less and have other wishes for their SL but hey… sometimes even I get lucky!

Hair: Eha’s Megu black ash (hair band colored)
Skin: Dutch Touch XaYa Caramel cute pink
Eyes: SLink Eyescream Flecked Forest
Lashes: Magika Real prim eyelashes (no alpha interference)

Tube top: BOOM Her Pleasure void
Top:BOOM Bodacious hot pink
Blouse: Mr Poet off shoulder white shirt
Shorts: Surf Couture Cafe shorts
Shoes: GOS Espadrilles (various texture possibilities available)

Necklace: U&R Dogs Rigoletto necklace
