La Sylphide has just released two fabulous new skins!! The Katie & Poppy have just two skin tones for now, and 8 makeups each.
This is Katie in Bronze and Tan skin tone.
This is Poppy in Light and Tan skin tone.
I love love love the lips, eyes and nose on the Katie skin. I'm looking forward to lighter skin tones on these, but the Katie in Tan is perfect with the dark brows.
Tp to La Sylphide for the full line! 🙂
This new Hearts Don’t Breakeven hairstyle from Exile is so soft and lovely! I forgot to tell you guys that Exile launched a new pack of hair color – the Ice Blonds! As you know, my favorite Exile hair color was Stefani, but with the launch of Ice Blondes, I may be changing my preference to Snow Queen (worn above) or Shimmer. I also love Pink Bubbles, such a delicious and delicate shade of Pink.
Which new Exile color is your favorite?
Katat0nik released this gorgeous Delicacy dress in such cheerful pastel colors. I love this dress so much, it oozes indulgence and sexy.
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – Hearts Don’t Breakeven
Donna Flora – GABRIELA necklace
Katat0nik – Delicacy Dress (lt blue/average)
LOGO – Infinity Chloe Hybrid Mesh Avatar Chloe
Jamman – Ultra Mesh Fingernails
Last year I did a quick "how to emote in Second Life" tutorial, and I still see a lot of people searching for that entry so I thought I would mention it again today.
It's been several years since I've joined SL and we still don't have new facial expressions, what's up with that? Why can't we have emotions that DO NOT SUCK. For example, I just want to smile or frown while having my avatar's eyes relaxed and not exaggerated into ugly expressions. Is that too much to ask for?
How to emote:
1. Press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+D, to bring up the Advanced client menu
2. Go to Advanced -> Character -> Slow Motion Animations and click to enable it
(Slow
Motion Animations is a feature that slows down animations on your
client only, so others will not see this but it is useful when trying
to capture dances, emotes, poses, etc.)
*note: Don't forget to
uncheck Slow Motion Animations once you're done using it, otherwise
animations will look too slow on your client.)
3. Play with the random expressions on the Emoter and snap away!!
My favorite emoters are built into the Mysti-Tool HUD by Mystical Cookie.
These are fun to play with but I still think there should be a way for residents to make our own or at least have more control over the facial expressions.
Remember the Fabulous Fashion TV episode featuring Katat0nik? You can now watch it with quicktimes or download it on itunes! If you pay attention, you can see my avatar spinning around on a pose stand for a minute. Hahaha my first modeling gig.. 😛

I’ve been seeing several people wear Mother Goose skin so I went to the store to check it out. I’m wearing one of the newest release, Esmeralda, and it’s very pretty at first glance but upon closer inspection, I feel that this skin needs a lot of work.
The skin tones are not given names, but numbers. I am wearing tone 2 and tone 3 – each skin tone comes with 4 makeups and also freckles version.
I’m very impressed with the freckles on these! They’re subtle and complements the skin tone perfectly. I also like the no-freckles version too.
Here are some things this skin does NOT do well…. there are seams all over the legs, arms, and torso (pretty much everywhere). That’s bad. Seams are bad! Some seams you can live with, some you can’t… if it’s pretty much all over, that is sloppy. I also think the textures is sloppy throughout, here are some examples below:
When it comes to skin texture, I truly believe that less is more. If you put too much or don’t blend it well enough, the area looks like skin disease or something. It is not a nice effect at all.
I’ve seen some pretty ugly toes in SL, but I’ve never seen toes that don’t extend all the way. These toes are not ugly, but the texture needs to be extended further so it doesn’t look gross (odd) when you wear flip-flops or open-toed shoes.
The Esmeralda skins from Mother Goose costs $1,000L per pack of 4 or $300L each. These skin are pretty and I wish they were done with more attention to details. Hopefully the creator will improve the future releases because right now, I feel that with these.. “you get what you pay for” which is average or slightly below average skins for a cheap price. They’re like cheap shoes, it’s great to wear for a little while but they don’t really hold up to well.

A closer look at the Yukata from Edelweiss that I wore yesterday. I’m wearing the mini-skirt option, but this Yukata includes 5 types ranging from mini to full length (long). There are two sash types, and a HUD to change the color. The Zouri (shoes) that I’m wearing are made for regular system feet, but I re-sized and re-positioned it to wear with SLink’s mesh (flat) feet.
This is one of my favorite finds in a while, so I probably will wear it for days 😀
What I’m Wearing:
Pink Fuel – Harley (Peach)
Truth – Qopi (Blondes05)
Edelweiss – Yukata
VCO – Bunny Phone (RARE3)
Beetlebones – Hearts Sling Pouch
