LeLutka will be releasing the Flutter skins later today, and it comes with all new skin tones! There are 5 skin tones to choose from: Alba, Bisque, Bronzed, Ivory, and Mocha. Each skin tone includes Light and Dark brows, 12 makeups, Breast Enhancer on tattoo layer, 2 Hair Base (Sookie & Walnut color), and nail cover tattoo (to work with prim nails).
LeLutka – Flutter Dark | Light Brows
This new Flutter skin is pretty, but it’s not my favorite LeLutka skin to date. Unlike the previous Gem skin (which is perfect, btw), this skin has more highlights on the nose, and around the face, especially the upper cheeks. Depending on how bright your Windlight setting is, this might be too contrasted. My own Windlight setting is super bright, so I toned it down a bit for these pictures.
I have a preference for fuller and more defined lips, and on Flutter, the lips are definitely less defined and it’s probably better for people who like making thin lips as opposed to pouty lips. I’m used to LeLutka being a certain look (pouty, less mature) so this new look is a lil’ different and will take some getting used to!

These Whippet&Buck Frilly Little Bra & Knickers are so adorable!! Guys, if you’re thinking of what the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, might I suggest buying a fatpack of these for your crush!
I’m teasing you guys with Gala’s soon-to-be released Cupid skins, but I’m showing the body first because I’ve just realized today that I’m changing my skin tone preference for Gala skins. Usually I wear Petal [Dark] but since I’m into the nicer sunkissed glow, I’ve been wearing Sundust [Light] a lot. It’s my tone of choice now! Has that ever happened to anyone? I wore Petal forever, but I think either my Windlight settings changed, or my new monitor is different.
Gala fans, you know the drill. Cupid comes in 6 makeups (2 versions each), light/dark skin tone and GORGEOUS brown brows.
I think I like this skin just as much as I like Elf (maybe even a little bit more), the nose is adorable and the lips are adorable!!

Hello from Baja Bay! I know everyone on the grid is already rushing towards Christmas, but let’s dial it back and enjoy the last few days of November. I am at the gorgeous Baja Bay beach sim enjoying the breeze and using it as the perfect backdrop for today’s photos.
Have you seen this Kira Kira Shirt by Katat0nik and White Crow? It’s adorable, love at first sight! It inspired me to change my hair color today to match the anime drawing and pastel colors. I’m alternating between cute and classic styles lately, since both appeal to me.
I can’t stop playing with expressions! Being able to do expressions effortlessly have been such a huge desire of mine for years. I have used various HUDs available to play with the default SL emotes, but they pale in comparison to what mesh heads can do. I want my avatar’s face to reflect the mood in the photos, so I will try to use appropriate expressions whenever I can!
What I’m Wearing:
LOGO ALex Mesh Head
LeLutka – Cat Hair (FitB)
Katat0nik & White Crow – Kira Kira Shirt (Yellow)

I’ve been wondering why so many SL residents aspire to be models. According to the SL Wiki site, this is an unskilled job, along with Dancer, Shop Attendant, and Bouncer/Security Agent.
Model
Another very glamorous unskilled job is becoming a model. Hiring is done in a similar way as with dancers, but the truth is, there are not many modelling job opportunities. There are a few modelling agencies around, and clothes designers usually contact them to organize big fashion events, just as in real life. These attract very large crowds and are certainly one of the best and more fun ways to present your clothing lines to the Second Life public.
To become a professional model, you’ll have to do a serious investment in yourself. To earn a large amount of L$, you not only need a gorgeous avatar, but highly-priced items like a special skin, hair (often prim hair, which is expensive), good make-up techniques, and catwalking animations, preferably unique (thus, often you have to pay someone to create them for you). To become a famous model, expect a recurring investment in more animations. Still, the job usually pays well. And you get the glamour and fame that comes with the job.
The above description is so inaccurate!!! I personally cannot name any SL famous models and I’ve heard that the pay is terrible or they’re only paid in stuff. I guess modelling could be considered a role-play activity, the chance to partake in an activity that’s ‘glamorous’ and be in the same place with other people.
My advice for newbies, or people who want to be a model for the money or fame (lol) is to start a blog instead!

Being a blogger isn’t that complicated, but neither is being a model. I’m sure there are more “skills” required to do both well, but I only have blogging experience and anybody can start a blog!
To start blogging, just buy stuff, wear it, take pictures and publish it on a blog.
To start modelling you have to buy stuff, wear it, find someone to hire you or join a modelling agency and pay them a ton of money… and maybe they’ll find someone to hire you.

If you’re not a blogger or a model, what do you think of these two jobs?

My friend Lashy asked me if I've ever heard of Blue Blood, a shop that specializes in kawaii gothic fashion. I had but I don't recall owning anything recent from there, so Lashy showed me her collection of Blue Blood outfits. These are well done and the sculpts are amazing. I don't often photograph anybody else so I was quite nervous about how these would turn out but Lashy looked great! I may start turning more friends into fashionista bloggers against their will 😀

This is probably my favorite jewelry item that I’ve blogged in awhile. I received a notice announcing new releases from Pacadi Jasha recently, and the photos accompanying the notice were very photoshopped. Of course, I’m skeptical about the items being enhanced to look better than it actually is in-world, so when I tried on the jewelry I was so pleasantly surprised it is exactly as pictured. My photos are not as great as Pacadi Jasha’s ads but I think you can buy this product with total confidence.

Each jewelry set incudes a HUD to change the chain texture, gems, stones, shell and resize. I love the HUD design, it’s so sleek!
