Xeniversity is having a grand opening tomorrow and you're all invited! I had the pleasure of checking out the sim today and it is so different from other furniture/prefab shops. The 'build' consists of a platform made up of cubes with platforms on different levels for you to shop in an open, unconfined space. There's already furniture and a prefab there, with promises of more to come soon.
I had the pleasure of seeing the Canal St. Loft prefab skybox up-close and I am so impressed with the textures and built-in features. Here is the official graphic with some pictures and all the specs listed:

Here are some pictures I snapped in-world, totally un-retouched so you can see that the skybox will look exactly like it does in the vendor ad. All the shadows are baked onto he textures so it really does look like this once you rez it!

Outside view (texture-changeable)

Walls (texture-changeable)

Incredible ceiling & Door (it's scripted to open & close)
For a box that is 22x22x12meters, it sure looks big! Here's a picture of me inside the loft skybox. There's plenty of room inside for furniture, or a studio or whatever you want to use it for. The open space is very versatile.


Well, you know I can't do a blog post without a picture of me somewhere… 😀 I think this skybox is great for photographs.
Here's a little tip for you guys reading this, if you can't wait to see the Canal St. Loft up-close; it is set for sale right now, even though the sim has not officially opened yet! Tp to Xeniversity.
Here's a copy of the invitation notecard with relevant date/time information for everyone interested in attending the grand opening party tomorrow:

Wait, what? Five of the same layer? Including regular clothing layers? Like five jacket layers? Oh god *cackles*
I don’t have an SLURL at the moment but I believe Cheap Makeup does have tattoo layers, mostly eyeliners. Not a huge selection but what they have is good.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Floyd/79/187/52 Is the SLURL.
Miamai has some gorgeous makeups including a summer set, and 2 sets of mask makeup. She also does eyelashes and eyeliner.
Another is !Musa!. Plus prim&pixel paradise has a set of fantasy makeups for 100 lindens. Miamai are my favourite, they really are beautiful.

cheap makeup also has a gacha at the festival @ albero with lots of cute eyeshadow/eyeliner/lash tattoos for 40L a pop!
I’ve been LOVING the eye makeups from Caitlyn Carter Designs (CCD) who knows if I spelled it right, anyway they’re fab. (Primarily fashion makeups)
Also, Tattanooga has a HUGE selection, particularly fantasy makeups.
Don’t have slurls since I’m not in SL at the moment, sorry!

I love the Smokey eyeliner/shadow tattoo from there, I use it quite a bit. 🙂
anyone know of a place that sells nipple tattoo layer? most skins nips are ehh…kinda sucks cause some many have great faces. I so hope someone puts out nip layers if there arent any.
So do i get this right? If you want to wear 5 tattoo layers and 5 undershirts and5 shirts and 5 jackets and and 5 pairs of pants and 5 pairs of underwear all at once you can? And when you put on a jacket and already have 5 on how does it know which one you want to take off? And while I am pinching myself with excitement to make sure I am not dreaming this post exists I am also horrified to think what is going to happen with the already completely bogged down and suffering servers when people go from wearing say 1 texture for each of those layers to 25 times that… and we think it takes a long time for things to rez now …
that means I can finally wear things together I never could, because all designers decided to put their things on the same layer(Jackets on shirtlayer make me sad…>.<) specially to prevent me from getting my dreamlook?
and clot my avatar over with glitter and tattoos?
WONDERFULL (*o*)/
Does anyone know any shops with facetattoos? I just realised that i didn't come across much layerfacetattoos yet, allthough I thought thatd be the first thing to flood the grid after the tattoolayers came out.
Dragons from the chin over the cheekbone to the forehead , butterfly with the an eye as center~, tribal designs, vines, flowers, grapes~ fantasy pattern or SCALES*.* for example… whatever as long as it is wellmade 😀
