The Asian Pacific Heritage Festival returns for its second year, as a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in Second Life. During the month of May, this vibrant festival celebrates and shares the vast culture, diversity, and history with the virtual community through live music, photography exhibitions, traditional food, the parade of countries, discussion panels, the open market, and more.
Achariya has started an interesting new photo project, by photographing avatars as they are — with little advance notice to change! Check it out, my eyes are closed and lots of cleavage, LOL!!
I’m a bit of a body skin collector and often change them depending on what suits my face skin. For years, I wore Pink Fuel body skins; they were my favorite because the shading was not heavy, and the texture was smooth with few imperfections. Even though I have several body skins that I’m happy with (including many tattoo fixes from Izzie’s), I jumped at the chance to try the free Next Level body skins from LAQ. If you use Maitreya, Legacy, Reborn, Belleza, Slink, or Omega (appliers), you’ll be able to wear these body skins. I am currently wearing it on the Maitreya LaraX body, and it’s just as good, if not better, than any body skins currently available from other brands.
I paired the LAQ 1.5 tone with my Glam Affair L005 face skin, but wanted it to be a touch lighter to match better. To fix this, I created body tint tattoos and listed them on Marketplace for L$10. If you want an exact match, like I do, be sure to check these out. You can easily tint the tattoo layers to match any face skin you’re wearing.
Recently, I found myself longing for a smooth body skin without highlights or shadows; I was tired of using dozens of body skin fixes to achieve the desired look. So, I am overwhelmingly impressed by this body skin. Mallory Cowen, the creator of LAQ, is a pioneer when it comes to texture skins in Second Life. She was among the first brands to create realistic skins with beautifully designed signature LAQ faces. I wore them for many years and think it’s nice to incorporate a bit of LAQ into my current look. I have also been asking Mallory to create some EvoX head skins, which I am know will be a success.
The generosity of some Second Life brands blows me away. Teleport to LAQ to get your hands on these free body skins.
New Truth hair! And check it out, I am not wearing my normal Swedish Blonde color. I really love the contrast between the new Hush skin tone from Lelutka’s Mila skin (out tomorrow!) and this dark Night hair color.
I just wanted to attempt a ‘sexy’ picture today cos I hardly ever do those and I don’t think I’m very good at it. The pose and couch I’m posing on is the Justified Couch by Glitterati (out now!) with 10 built-in poses. For 2012, I will try to do more fun pictures/posts and not just ones showing off outfits or new releases all the time.
I’ve made a new shape for one of my favorite skins at the moment. If you’re looking for a cute face with a petite but curvy body, visit my shop on Juicy.
This shape is called ‘Marina’ and goes perfectly with Gala Phoenix’s newest ELF skins. All shapes are copy/mod and includes a style card.
You look like you’ve just escaped from Wisteria Lane. Very kittenish and cute – yet your look says “Guess just how my hair got this messy?”
