PXL Luthien, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.
Inspired after the WoW Night elf chacracter, PXL Creations has translated the essence of it to the beautiful Kim base skin and made it into a beautiful fantasy skin, which was released earlier today. Luthien comes in 1 skin tone and 5 different lip colours. Every skin pack has the plain and the tattoo version of the skin.
It’s a must try, especially with halloween around the corner. it’s a great base for costuming! You’ll find PXL Creations on their own sim now, so update your old landmarks!

Look of the Day, October 02, 2009, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.
Today’s look has some folklorist influences, the poofy skirt from Ingenue’s One Boy outfit is reminiscent of the skirts from the Black Forest costumes and the Chinese florals cardigan from Nylon Outfitters… well… what’s in a name, right? I’m wearing it with J’s long boots and Coco’s v-neck tee shirt. The locket is from Yummy.
Today’s skin is Blowpop’s Carmen (tone A, Ay Candela1) and the hair is Exile’s Juliette in chimera with the wonderful new textures!

5th & Oxford : 50 L$ Friday, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.
OK!!!…I admit it… this is been one of those weeks that I’ve been spending mostly in underwear or not wearing anything at all… with all the new skins and shapes from the expo, the new stockings at Blowpop, and now this delicious Little Miss lingerie set from 5th & Oxford….
It’s a preview of their next big release and Roslin has been a total tease about it, sharing pics with me while working at it… the end result is so lovely though and totally sexy with the soft shiny texture of the undies and the “mousse” look of the stockings.
It will be available from 0:00 til 23:59 on Friday, October 2, 2009 and yes, it’s only 50L$! For the slurls to all the other participants in 50L$ Friday, join the group in world.

Blowpop Fishnets, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.
Annyka Bekkers did it again.. after venturing into drop dead sexy lingerie, Miss Blowpop herself now has made the most perfect fishnets on the grid. They come in tights and stockings, whole and ripped, plain and seamed…. seamed in the right place that is… on the back of the leg, not where the templates meet, because those have been tackled to the perfection.
The fishnets come in 12 pretty colours, but somehow, I still like the blacks best…
Other need to knows: Skin, River (beta) Dutch Touch, Hair Samantha from Truth, Tattoo Cherry Blossom from Aitui

I find myself grabbing the bluer things in my inventory lately… Dunno, I love the calming effect of blue. Anyway before I start some psychological exposé about what draws me to certain colours as related to the state of mind I’m in or the influence of stress on my choice of colours… I just wanted to make an outfit with this cute open cardi from So Many Styles. I’m wearing it with Maitreya’s coal turtleneck, and Whippet & Buck’s black Stein shorts and Blowpop’s awesome fishnet tights. To finish the outfit, I’ve picked Fusemelon’s antique Forget me not knot pearls.
I’m wearing River, which is a work in progress from Iki Ikarus @ DutchTouch, and Fusemelon’s sassy City Life hair in pitch.
Oooooh… and for once I remember the pose I’ve used… because it’s the awesomest pose on the grid, I think! It’s The Dakota, from Long Awkward Pose.

I’ve been running around in the same outfit for days now, I guess that means it deserves to be blogged. I also realise it’s pretty much a Coco outfit,but the white t-shirt is one of my fave basics in my inventory, and their new roll up jeans has these cute pockets so I couldn’t resist buying it when it was released last weekend. The tied around the waist striped shirt is also one of the things that I keep digging up from my inventory. It is really well made, with a lot of attention for details.
With all these goodies, I’m wearing Shiny Things Jane Wedges (has anyone heard from Fally recently? It’s been ages that she has made new shoes!), Kari’s industrial watch and Illusions Cord necklace.
I’m a little in love with Belleza’s new Jesse skin. I’m wearing make up 9 in the sunkissed tone, and Evie, from Truth, is today’s hair,

Cake Bella, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.
Not at the skin expo… but absolutely worth mentioning… Stumbelina Ophelia, over at Cake, has a whole wall full of new yummy Bella skins. I’m only showing 5 of the 8 skintones, and 5 of the … uhm.. 20 or so make ups.
Slurl to follow once I can get back in world.

Skin/shape expo: Various skins, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.
A quickie blog post to share some more of the skin/shape expo. Imandra Wycliffe, creator of [42] produces line after line of affordable, gorgeous skins. Fugue is the latest of them They come in some bold make ups, making these good for costuming, but also the natural version I’m wearing here is very pretty.
Next to that is skin no. 63 from D-skin. I heard rumours a while ago that DynamiteTanaka Payne had left second life, but this and other new skins from his hand at the expo proof those rumours wrong. D-skin has always made some of the cutest faces around, and no. 63 is no exception.
Heather Beebe from Rockberry is becoming a solid name in the skin market. After the smashing succes that Uma was, now she introduces Farrah. It’s a beautiful sophisticated face, slightly more mature than Uma, but absolutely radiant.
Last but not least, there is Orchid from relatively new skinmaker Myrtle Spyker. Her brand SkinTight is still quite new, but in this short time Myrtle has shown creativity and has been growing a lot. Orchid has an overall pleasant body and some really pretty make ups which, unlike some skins, work well with default lights as well. Also, her molten metal skins are really worth trying!

I’m wearing Sacha Frangili’s latest creation today, Pudding in Pisang. It’s a beautiful formal which comes with Sacha’s usual plethora of skirt options. There also is a matching bolero to go with it, but I love the collar on this gown that goes with then strapless top. I’m wearing it with Exodi’s latest release, the gorgeous Kamen set.
Today’s skin is Belleza’s Jesse, and I’m wearing Truth’s Evie

So… we have a skin/shape expo, and almost half, if not more, of the merchants are shapers… then that calls for a shape post on More Than Meets the Eye, even if I’m not really comfortable blogging shapes. After all, even if I closed my shop about a year ago… I still consider myself to be a shaper, and I have a personal vision about what I think a good shape is. That’s why I have decided this post is not going to be a shape review, but a shape comparison.
I have taken 9 shapes, plus my own for reference, since that’s what you guys see me in all the time, and 3 skins and put it all next to each other, so you can see the difference. I’m sticking to the same order of shapes in all 4 series of pics (1 set of body pics, and the 3 x10 face shots).
The shapes used:
OK… sit back and relax… some shapes look a bit weird on some of the skins, but hey…. for comparison’s sake…?
First, the series of body shots… these were all taken in the same frame, with a fix camera position, so the tall shapes are really tall… and the short ones… yes… really short (My length is 62 BTW)
For the faces it was difficult to keep a fix camera position, because due to the length of some shapes, and the shortness of others, you’d either see the boobs or the top of the scalp instead of the face. So beware… if the face looks much bigger than others… it’s likely bigger for real… but maybe not this much!

click here for more make ups
Belleza’s Tricky Boucher did it again. Last year he won me over with Bella, and now he releases Jesse at the skin/shape expo. She’s gorgeous. I bought one fatpack when I was at the expo earlier, but while taking piccies, … I got greedy.. but now the expo is full and I can’t get back in for more!!!!! :-(. There are 2 skint tones available at the expo, this sunkissed, and a darker tan, I don’t even know right now how many make ups there are for Jesse, other than I bought make up 12-15, so there4 are at least 15 :-). It’s a must try, k?

[update: October 06, 2009] 10 days have passed since I blogged this, and the basic RL info about said “Corporation” , which Mr. McMillan agreed to give asap, has not been disclosed as of yet. I repeat, I have not been asking for sensitive corporate information but for data that should be publicly available anyway, like a chamber of commerce no. and their investor relations webpage. Hence I’m leaning towards the conclusion that Mr McMillan has gotten carried away with the SL business play, and that there is no multinational behind his SL shop after all. Also, you might want to check the comments to read what some of my readers have to add to the topic. *sighs*
…..is that they might raise awkward questions… like: What Corporation is it you claim has taken over your uhm, high end SL business? It for sure is a question popping up in my head when I found Vasgez McMillan’s press release about Victoria-V being taken over by Switzerland, Germany and UK based Exclusiva Corp. So I googled… and googled… and yeah, googled some more and boy did I find interesting things… but nothing about said multi national, other than mentions in Victoria-V’s blog, and above mentioned press release on the feeds.
Since the press release offered precious little traceable information, I decided to contact the listed Exclusiva Director of PR, Candy Starsider, to get some more information about this corporate take over that apparently is about to facilitate customers to buy SL designs in RL, but Candy could not disclose as much as a registration office number for Exclusiva, or direct me to their corporate site and/or investor relations site, which I find odd to say the least. She kept saying that she was not allowed to disclose that kind of information, that they would gradually give out more information and that in due time Vasgez would absolutely answer my questions. Well…. I didn’t ask for their long time strategy or the past 5 years profit… I only wanted a website, or a verifiable chamber of commerce number. After all, their financial statements should be deposited there by legal requirements, and last 5 years’s profit should be public information anyway.
Considering the reluctance to share basic and public information about Exclusiva Corp. , or the lack of knowledge about the corporation Ms. Starsider is supposedly to be the Director of PR (and thus an employee, getting paid, and hopefully getting pay slips as well), to me it’s another case of bragging, of SL CEO group tagging and masking a simple SL re-branding with a “corporate” take over, especially since a simple question lead to silence and defensive behaviour…..
If anyone can find something substantial on Exclusiva… by all means, feel free to comment, inform me…
