Tuli’s Jade

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, preview, skins, Tuli, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 27, 2010| 1 Comment »

Tomorrow, Tuli Asturias will launch her new skin, Jade.  Jade will be available in 5 skintones and 10 make ups each. You are already used to Tuli making her skins available in 3 eyebrow options, but now she has also 3 cleavages for you to chose from (small chest, medium chest and push up) I love this as I keep my boob sliders way down, and it can look a bit weird sometimes with busty shaded skins, so I’m all for the small chest option!

Mirror Mirror on the Wall…..

Posted in LeLutka, MV-SL-Fashion, preview, skins, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 9, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Lola, the upcoming skin from Lelutka is definitely one of my favorite skins ever. It has taken a while before the brand grabbed me, but with Ife, I became a real  fan, and Lola… oh dear, Lola is just a stunning skin!

The body has been reworked, the annoying little flaw on the nose has been corrected, and with the introduction of SL2.0 and the tattoo layer, there are more make up options than ever. Every eye make up can now be combined with 11 lipstick tattoos. It’s a real incentive to try the 2.0 viewer! (Not that I wasn’t a fan of that already, it just runs smoother for me than the first generation viewers)

Anyway, I think it’s time for picture overload after the cut. Lola will be released in 5 skin tones and every skin tone has different make ups, so I’m just going to show them all.

Coming Soon @ Tuli: Sayuri

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, preview, skins, Tuli on April 17, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Sayuri, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz. Image post processed

Release date for this stunning Asia inspired skin is set for April 22! Sayuri will be available in 2 skintones with 10 make ups and they come in a dark brow only, but with freckle option and cleavage option.

This picture is heavily photoshopped, because I wanted to achive this ethereal porcelain look, but below you see the various make ups, untouched,  on skin tone 1. Skin tone 2 is slightly darker, but just the slightest bit.

I have not adusted a thing in my shape for Sayuri. Tuli has really achieved an Asian look in the skin that needs little to no support from a shape.

I may go Asian for a while. Sayuri and Grazia… it’s love.

Soon @ HuzTats, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

In case you are wondering what Hunain has been up to this week (since it sure wasn’t blogging 😛 ), here is a sample of what will out pretty soon at HUZ Tats. I know, I possibly shouldn’t be writing about new releases from my blog buddy… but well, I’ve been running around in these all weekend (various stages of completion) and I must say I’m pretty in awe with the final results. So yeah, out soon, friggin’ awesome new ink at Huz Tats!

PS: I may have found a new hobby… bullying Hunain 😀

Tuli’s Eva (Coming Soon to a Journey Near You)

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, preview, skins, Tuli, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on March 12, 2010| 1 Comment »

Eva, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Next week, on March 18, Tuli will re-open her newly build sim Journey and that will also be the day that her much anticipated new skin Eva will be released to the public. I am honoured that Tuli has sent me Eva beforehand to try and enjoy and I must admit, Eva is one of the prettiest, softest skins I have worn in a long time.

Eva will be available in a whopping 7 skin tones, so there will be plenty of choice from the palest of pale, to a rich, dark tan. Eva come with blond brows as well as brown and black brows and with a normal and a push up cleavage. I can say but one thing… please ladies… wear a bra or bikini at least when you wear the push up version. Your tatas will never look like the push up version in when you are topless (sorry… mini rant… total pet peeve 🙂 )

Below I have also included a picture of the 10 beautiful make ups Eva will be available in. My favourites are the natural skin, which is just stunning in its simplicity, and make up no, 9, with the soft coral lips. Oh well… it’ll be March 18 in a few days, but if you can’t contain yourselves any longer, you can also go and visit Tuli’s temporary store with discounted skins and clothing in the clearance sale!

Brooke

Posted in 5th & Oxford, AlaMood, Bijou, MV-SL-Fashion, preview, skins, Uncleweb, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 10, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Brooke, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Coming soon is Brooke, a new face at 5th & Oxford. Roslin is in the final stage of completing 2 make up sets for this pretty lady. Those of you who shop at 50L$ Friday may already have a sample of Brooke in your inventories. If you don’t… you really should consider next Friday, because often creators put out samples of upcoming releases. Cute idea huh?

Anyway, Brooke has a really pretty body, like you already know from Audrey and other skins that 5th & Oxford previously retailed under their former brand, but the face is a little bolder than what we knwo from them. This make up is fairly classical, but Roslin has been working on some really dramatic eyes as well.

For this pic, I decided to cleopatrify (neologism, yay) Brooke for this portrait, with the ultra sleek Fanny hair from Uw.St in Meteorite and the soon to be released Celestial choker in aged gold from alaMood. The top is from the GLAVA outfit @ Bijou.

SLurls can be found here.

New stuff @ Truth and Coming Soon@ Dutch Touch

Posted in Coco, Donna Flora, Lucas Lameth, MV-SL-Fashion, Nait Smith, Nylon Outfitters, preview, Rockberry, Truth, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on October 23, 2009| 1 Comment »

I’ve been a bad blogger this week, with lots of things on the shelves, and little output… but hey… what can I say, RL has been busy this week and pretty much kept me hostage. When I logged in yesterday, I found Truth had dropped his latest creations on me and I think it’s a lovely batch again.

From left to right there is Maxine, soft and feminine, Mackenzie, voluminous and drop dead sexy, Cameron, speaking of sexy, and gorgeous to show off  jewelry, leaving the ears and the neck free and last but not least there is Brooke, which is a very casual and a bit messy look.

(wearing: Rockberry Farrah skin, Nylon Outfitters cardi & Coco v-neck t-shirt)

and then I had the pleasure of receiving some of  Dutch Touch creator Iki Ikarus latest skin samples. She’s working on the lovely Jolie skin and these are some samples of what the make ups may look like. Iki and I were raving over the emerald eye liner and some of the bold colours for the eyes, but also I’m in love with the fire engine red lips, and I’m confident it will make the final skins.

Eva by Kira Paderborn

Posted in Corrupted Innocence, MV-SL-Fashion, preview, skins, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on September 23, 2009| Leave a Comment »

Sometimes I think being a fashion blogger is one of the most gratifying things to do. NO!…It’s not about the free stuff. I buy most of the things I feature on my blog anyway. The cool part of blogging is when someone send you their new stuff and you recognise quality, but also still a lot of work to be done, and the content creator is actually appreciative of  your feed back, uses it, and contacts you after a while with new content that is like so much better that you get the blog itch and shove aside a few RL things to take pics and blog.

That is what happened between me and Kira Paderborn. A few months ago she dropped me a pack of her first Envy skin for blogging or feed back, which was really cute, but had still so many issues, that I didn’t feel comfortable about blogging them. When I see flaws and issues, I won’t hide that on my blog, because it would be a buyer beware of sorts, but I don’t like to write about flaws… so instead I wrote my feed back and shared it with Kira, who without any doubt will have swallowed a few times at my critiques, but then decided to actually use it and start on a second skin. The work in progess I have shared with you a couple of weeks ago, and now Eva is ready! And I love the final result… so feel free to click the pic here below to get a preview of all the make ups and skintones!

I’ll add the NSFW body pics after I get back from work later today. But let me finish with telling you that Eva will be released on Friday, September 25 in Kira’s shops Shapes by Kira and Corrupted Innocence, and then also at the skin/shape expo which will start on the 26th.

Galatea

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, Nicky Ree, preview on August 12, 2009| Leave a Comment »


Galatea is an upcoming release at Designing Nicky Ree. It’s currently exclusively available to her group members, and tomorrow, August 13, it will be released to the public.

GALATEIA was one of the Nereides, fifty goddess-nymphs of the sea. Her name means either “the goddess of calm seas” from galênê and theia or “milky-white” from galaktos. Galateia frequented the coast of Sicily where she attracted the attention of the Kyklops (Cyclops) Polyphemos. The giant wooed her with tunes from his rustic pipes, and offerings of cheese, milk, and wild fruit. The nymph, however, spurned his advances and consorted instead with a handsome Sicillian youth named Akis. When Polyphemos learned of this, he fell into a jealous rage and crushed the boy beneath a rock. Galateia was grief-stricken and transformed Akis into a stream.
Some say, Galateia was the mother by Polyphemos of Galatos, the eponymous king of Galatia in Asia Minor. (source: Nicky Ree’s info note card, worth reading because it also explains the various combinations that you can make with the many options that Nicky usually offers)

As with all her designs, Nicky draws her textures from scratch, after thorough research and going through lots of illustrations and stories for inspiration. I wanted to include, aside from the gown and the silk option also a close up of the coral and the texture on the cape, to show the incredible details in the texture.

fri.day soon

Posted in fri.day, KA Designs, LOTD, Maitreya, MV-SL-Fashion, new designers, new releases, preview, Sey on August 5, 2009| Leave a Comment »

fri.day soon, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Oooooh… such speculations… I’ve heard many… who are the people behind Fri.day??? It is the question of the week and of course I do have my own idea about the creative forces behind this brand, but, does it really matter? If a content creator, or a group of creators, decide(s) to startup a new brand, under an alt, breaking free from their previous image and conventions, or not, whatever pleases them… should it all keep us captive for days? I don’t think so, people. I’ve heard the wildest assumptions, culminating in the inevitable “it’s Ginny, I know for sure” . For me counts what I see though, and what I see is original and well made content. Basics for now, but with obvious feeling for style and a knack for crisp textures.

I’d like to congratulate the fri.day crew with what is already looking like going to be a very succesful launch of their brand, and can only express my hope that they will not neglect their original SL projects.

Eva w.i.p. from Kira Paderborn

Posted in MV-SL-Fashion, preview, skins on July 29, 2009| 3 Comments »

When Kira Paderborn sent me her first skins for testing and reviewing, I saw a nice one, but with still a lot of issues to work out. So instead of blogging them I drafted a notecard with my feed back, asked Kira if she’d appreciate receiving it and sent her my comments. And then I heard nothing, and thought I maybe had come across too harsh with my critiques. Until earlier today,  when Kira contacted me, telling that she had been working like 18 hours per day since her first one came out on a new skin, and that she thought she had pretty much adressed all the feed back that I had sent her… and OMG, the skin which for now goes by the name of Eva is so much better than the previous one! No more smudgy body parts, everything well blended, a mouth that is well defined and oh so kissable, just a few minor seams to smoothen out in the process of finishing the skin. I just had to take a photo of it to share on the blog. It is post processed, but not heavily photoshopped.

Big kudos for you, Kira… this one is going to be a stunner!!

NB: skin is not released yet, it is a beta and may change before its release.

5th & Oxford: Body Evolution

Posted in 5th & Oxford, MV-SL-Fashion, new releases, preview, skins on July 12, 2009| 1 Comment »

As you’ll probably know, I have been a huge Tete à Pied/Fleur/5th & Oxford fan from very early on in my SL and I still have their very first skins hidden in the depths of my inventory (thank you CC!). The faces are gorgeous, the make ups impeccable…no smudges or blurs at all and the bodies are smooth and soft. I thought it would be nice to put the 3 most recent skins next to eachother so you can see for yourself what a difference there is between the very popular Vivant skin and the soon to be released Audrey.

Nude pics ahead…so be warned! (more…)

Cana: in the making @ Lionskins

Posted in preview, skins on June 14, 2009| 1 Comment »

Cana, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

When a couple of weeks ago I was talking to Lion Jonesford from Lionskins about her Dollhouse skins, she mentioned she would send me a sample of her newest project, Cana when the body was finished. Yesterday she dropped the 5 skintones on me with the message that she was about to start making make ups. And would love my opinion on the skin so far. Well… what can I say… this is just a hell of a gorgeous skin, with the lips a bit on the plump side (I’ve tweaked my mouth for this photo… reduced the lower lip and made it generally a bit less full), but other than that, it fits like a glove.

Hope you like the photo, Lion… because I sure like your skins! Thank you for sharing it.
