SLink Miyu: Asian Beauty


SLink Miyu Face, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

The latest addition to Siddean Munro’s skin collection at SLink is a lovely Asian face. Miyu comes in 4, slightly desaturated, skintones (I bought my skins in fair, which is the 2nd lightest tone). I think my absolute favourite make up is the one with the glossy red lips and the blush high on the cheeks, that gives it a very youthful look, but there are 12 make ups per skin tone at this point. the highlights on the lips tend to be slightly pixeled in close up. But all in all, it is just a beautiful face.

SLink Miyu Body

The body is the same as on the previous Bijou skin, It has a lot of highlights, which either you like or not. I don’t think it’s exagerated, but it does have a very glossy look to it. It has a nice body definition. A well defined rib cage and a hint of abdominals. I’m not a huge fan of the nipples on this skin, I feel that they would look better if the aureola blended a bit more in with the skin, but that is personal ofcourse. Miyu has a cute behind and lovely hands and feet (!). I did spot a few faint seams on the legs. That might be something to work on for another release. It’s not very obvious, it requires a lot of zooming.

The skin come with a separate “pubes pack” in various tintable shapes, the fatpacks also contain as a mani/pedi pack as an extra prezzie.

Separates sell for L$ 1200. A set of 3 sells for L$ 2800 and a set of four is available for L$ 3100

This outfit started whit Luc’s Kahto choker. We were talking about an extra gem to ad to these sets, and I suggested him a Tiger’s eye. I love the warm golden brown of this stone. He made a tiger’s eye texture, and it looks so pretty on this piece. It made me want to pair it up with more rich colours, and since it’s pumpkin time, this top from Kit Maitland just suited me fine, and I found a matching purse at Cachet as well. The classical bob hair is from Zerlinda Boucher, who is quite new at hair making, but who has some pretty cute styles out by now. Oh well, and while I’m describing today’s outfit anyway, the new Tuli pumps by Fallingwater Cellardoor from Shiny Things made me squee and buy the whole lot sans thinking. The trousers are the black high waist trousers from Muism, and the lace top is part of the Phoenix sweater dress from Celestial Sudios. The skin is Elka, from Chai

(Un)look of the Day


LOTD081022, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

While on a random shopping spree yesterday, I ended up in this gloomy sim, following a link from Willis’ blog. There I found this lovely, eerie broken doll skin, that I just couldn’t resist and which made the base for this outfit. As I said last night to my friend, I just think I look friggin’cute like this in a odd kind of undead way. Might use it again for a Halloween party or so.

This style is so close to my RL casual preferences. When not at work, I love jeans with plaid or tweed and some good boots. So when I found out that Muism made some plaid jackets… I had to have at least one of them.

Jeans: The Rebel @ Kari
Boots: Old Boots in Brown @ Shiny Things

Da Shape

Ever since the launch of Fleur’s new skin Allure and this photo being in the shop among other gorgeous work from fellow Allure afficionadas, people have been asking me if they can buy the shape I’m using for Allure.

Well, you cannot. It’s fast becoming my default shape, because she gives almost every skin a very cute and quirky look, and I’m not giving my look away. However, I did create this shape out of one of the shapes that I sell in my shop, Inès, and whereas the one in the photo is different, Allure looks great on Inès as well.

Inès and some other shapes, as well as my poses ( I should really add new ones * sighs* ) are for sale in Rue d’Antibes.

The hair is from Zerlinda (beta) who has a couple of cute styles out at PXL Creations, the earrings are from Viva La Glam (taken over by aliens by now?) and the breautiful hibiscus is from Eleonora Newell

Fleur Allure

Been a busy bee over the past few days, taking photos of Fleur’s latest addition to their skin range: Allure. She’s quite different from Vivant. The body has more photorealism, the mouth has elements of the delicious Shouju skins and the over all skin is just more detailed.

A full review will follow sooner or later, for the next couple of days I’ll stick to posting some of the photos I made.

Yesterday I found a note from Ryan with a picture attached and the IM “I can so see you in this gown… Teal perhaps?” Well, ever since I met Ryan when I started blogging for Second Style, he has been tipping me on things every now and then, and this guy just has a keen eye for great textures. So whenever he gives me a heads up, I usually follow up on that asap. Like last night. Fantasia is a shop I would not likely visit on my normal shopping trips. I’m not really into fantasy, Gor and other RP, and this shop just fits nicely in that category. On the other hand, I do realise that there are some amazingly talented designers in that niche. Like Dream Resistance, the creator of Fantasia Fantasy Clothiers.
In her shop a fair collection of fantasy attire. The teal decadence gown that I´m showing has a matching hood and veil so that it is a wonderful outfit for the free women of Gor. Now, wearing that is not my piece of cake, but the primwork, and the texture, and the slight middle east look and feel of the design, makes it a very lovely piece. The Court gown is a beautiful piece as well. the belt is a textured prim, not full prim, and sometimes i just like that better. I opted here for the full outfit, with the transparent undershirt and the lace collar, but you can play at will with the various layers. And again, great primwork, and lovely textures.
Fantasia Fantasy Clothier offers outfits for both men and women.
Other info: The hair is Sky Everett’s Sairawen hair (hair fair) and the skin is PXL Creations Linda Passion Make up (soon to be released)

Crate Digger

The new bag @ Kari rocks. Think you’re done spinning after the weekend, DJ? This is one of Menno’s multi texture items. Buy one, get 6 if you like. Or 12, since like most things at Kari Menno offers his items sized for both men and women in the same folder.

*Dances off to RL*

Summertime, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Ok.. it’s yesterday’s look really, but as I was going through my inventory, trying to get some order back in the clutter and deleting and boxing up some old stuff, this dress from Marly’s struck me again. So I matched it with a straw hat from Icon, and a pair of old mary jane clogs from Shiny Things for the rural look and feel and headed off to the Far Away for some photos.

[Update 080630] I have removed my items from SLounge. Still a nice place to hang out though 😛

Hiyas! I just finished setting up a new shop at SLounge, which is a cozy and laid back club to hang out and dance with your friends.

My poses are there, and I’ve put the Parfait freebie shape out again for a limited bit not jet determined period of time. Now if only I can find enough freetime to finish the tons of new poses that are in the making…..

My main shop is located at Rue d’Antibes. Over there you’ll also find my other shapes.
