In my previous blog entry, I said that Tuli's new prototype Hope skin reminded me of Gala and D-Skin because of the beautiful face. Well, here's a picture of all 3 side-by-side for your viewing pleasure. I think, all of these skins are really well done but if I could pick and choose, brows from one skin, and lips from another, the combination would be my ultimate dream skin.
What do you think?

When Anya Ohmai is a famous RL artist (if she’s not already), we can say that she was famous in SL first! These lil’ fairies are so delicate and artistic. I wish you guys could see how their wings flutter, when I have time I will do a quick video, maybe?

Meet Cajsa (pronounced CAI zha (CAI as in Cairo, Zha as in Asia). I’ve said her name wrong for years, and have recently found out the correct pronunciation!
Last week, Cajsa sent me a copy of her shape, probably cos I asked her if I could play around with it. I love tweaking shapes for my friends. Some of them have loved the results, and some did not like being Gogofied*. My usual shape tweaks includes overall body adjustments, and facial reconstruction.
Cajsa already had a lovely shape before, so I didn’t have to make any drastic adjustments. I modified her lips, eyes, a lil bit of the nose and face Shape. I still thinks she looks like Cajsa, and not someone else. Whenever I tweak shapes for my friends, I usually try to keep their look similar, cos I don’t want to give them a NEW face, but an updated face.
I love the like the body tweaks cos the shape is a bit more slender, and a lil taller. Cajsa told me that the after shape works better with Standard Sizing, and she went down a size! Cajsa has a poll up at her blog and more comparison pictures of the shape, if you guys want to check it out!
I didn’t know if Cajsa would like my Gogofied version of Cajsa or not, but she does!! She’s wearing it with no adjustments (for now) but she said she might add her smile back. You can see the new shape in action on her blog (here and here).
Shape modification is not a service that I offer, but I think it’s so fun when some friends trusts me to play around with theirs.
*What is Gogofied? Poutier lips, and ends up looking like my twin or my sister.

Does a store build matter? Absolutely. I don’t really mind if a store is built badly (or no build at all), as long as the vendors can be seen clearly. This was not the case when I went to Filthy Skins a few weeks ago; the store was so blindingly bright and all the interior textures were tinted Blue, so I couldn’t see anything! I ran from the store as fast as I could after grabbing demos and didn’t think about these skins until last night.
After trying on several faces, I settled on this Candy skin. I think it’s lovely, and very “me” except for the Pale tone (worn below) is not really my idea of Pale, but more like a warm Sunkissed tone. Despite being too tan, I still wanted this, and I will try to make it work with Blonde hair, but I must warn you I look a bit like Snooky’s Blonde sister 😀
Check out Candy in Pale Tone:
I love this face! And it’s perfect for Dark Brown hair, but maybe even OK on Blondes.
Do you guys think the skin is more suited for Brunette or Blonde hair?
I’m really glad I gave Filthy Skins another look, cos I think I may have found a new favorite skin store.
Kyoot released the new Last Thread Tanks this weekend and they’re so pretty! I think the cleavage is so sexy, and the loose thread at the bottom of the tank is just a great touch. Howeverrrrr….. the side seams really bugs me! I know Saeya Nyanda can do better seams than this, cos it just feels incomplete to me, to not align it, and also not add side-shading to create a more “finished” look.
I’ve posted an example of what I think is great seams on a striped top from Ingenue. I love how Betty Doyle lined her textures up nearly perfectly, and also added shading along the seams.
For most of us who take photos staring straight ahead, the side seam is rarely ever seen, but what happens when you DO notice it? Designers who take more care into creating nice seams really sets themselves apart from designers who do not.
What I’m Wearing:
Hair: Elikatira – Other, Again & Maitreya – Lara II
Filthy – Candy (Pale)
Kyoot – Last Thread Tank (Spring)
Ingenue – Trixie Halter (Blossom)
BOOM – Feel Free Shorts (Pure)
Magic Nook – Neon Candy Ring
gala lips, tuli eyes, and d skin brows..
You look *absolutely gorgeous* in every one of them. Actually, you look gorgeous in *everything* you’ve ever posted. (*wonders how she does that!*) Imho, the Gala skin gives you a younger, fresher look, while the Tuli skin gives you a more polished, mature look. The look of the D-Skin lies somewhere in between (good choice in photo placement). I just wish I could wear the Gala skin. It makes me look angry, no matter which shape I use. (weird, I know).
Desiree, you should try changing your bald(hair) cap. It’s not the shapes that really mess with eyebrows its the bald cap.
As for the skins, gala’s skin + dskins eyebrows=epic win
I notice the new Gala line makes my avatar look sad no matter how I try to edit it. lol
Anyway ty for the comparison 🙂
Tuli has evolved a lot. I love how she is constantly improving her line. I would like to see fresher lips on her line sort of like the Gala skins.
