I haven’t made a new shape in a few months, so I thought I would do one for this new Laqroki skin. I loved the way the face on this shape turned out; it’s really adorable and curvy in all the right places. I almost didn’t sell this shape after I made it, cos I wanted to keep her for myself! If you’re looking for a new look, check out the Melinda Shape from Juicy — style card is included!
Purchase this shape at Juicy in-world or on Marketplace.
This is going to be a good shopping weekend, there are so many new releases around the grid to keep you blissfully broke.
Truth has released 3 more amazing hairstyles. These weekly new releases have totally spoiled me, I feel kind of incomplete when there isn't one! Shown below are Giselle, Leah, and Cheryl in Cocoa colored. For some reason I've been craving different hair colors this week, not just my usual Platinum Blonde. This Cocoa texture is a really nice rich color, I lurve it!

Addict is a newly launched brand by Kianna Noel. I'm wearing the Addict PYT Tunic outfit, it includes the Tunic tank top, leggings, under shirt, and belt. This outfit can be easily mixed and matched with other items or worn alone (seen above). It's gorgeous and I love that she included ALL the possible layers & thoughtful enough to include an undershirt for people who want a more modest look. I can't wait to see more items from this brand 🙂
What I'm Wearing:
Truth – Giselle (cocoa)
Truth – Leah (cocoa)
Truth – Cheryl (cocoa)
Perturb – Themisto Choker
Perturb – Themisto Earrings
Addict – PYT Tunic (Olive, White, Pink)
L+R+W – Venpus Pumps (Black)
Alirium is a gorgeous place, it was worth the dozens of crashes I suffered to snap this photograph. I really wanted to have shadows enabled for this picture but SL was just not cooperating with me.
I saw this gorgeous Jungle Blossoms outfit from Little Tasta on Elle’s blog and I really wanted it for myself. This may be geared towards Gorean fashion but I think that anyone can wear this, for all types of outdoorsy looks… Um.. Cute jungle girl? Island style? Natural and environmentally friendly bikini? There’s so much potential here. I tried on a few other outfits from Litte Tasta and I really dig this shop.
What I’m Wearing:
Exile – Kylie (Champagne)
Little Tasta – Jungle Blossoms Green
Clothing Fair 2009 ends today, so if you haven't gone yet, take a quick fly around because there are some limited edition items and besides, it's for a good cause! Well, some of it anyways! I made a rule for myself that I would only purchase items inside RFL vendors so the proceeds would go to charity, but that was so hard this year! Unlike last year, I have even more stuff so I didn't want more of the same items.
[ Haven Designs – Dara Silks | *tal* RFL Limited Edition Marishka ]
I did purchase the fantastic *tal* RFL Limited Edition Marishka silk outfit which I love. It's silks, but not revealing at all, there are actual pants!! I saw these on Sai Pennell's blog entry and she I thought hmm… that's cute so I purchased one, and it looks even better in person!!
And I did break my own rule about purchasing from RFL vendors only when I stumbled into Haven Designs and spotted the yummy white Dara Silks outfit on the wall. I really dig these outfits because they're revealing but unlike other silks where it's literally just 1 piece of long flexi covering the crotch, these look like they could be the traditional costumes of some sexy tribal women.

Sad news! Friday will be releasing hair less frequently and focusing on clothes and accessories after Hair Fair. You can read more about it at the official Friday blog. I am wearing the newly released Raina style in Happy Blond, I love posh updos like this, it’s perfect for so many looks.
The stunning Moon River jewelry set I’m wearing is from Magic Nook. I love that it’s over-sized and comes in a gorgeous Turquoise color.
I couldn’t think of a Turquoise dress to wear with the jewelry so I’m pairing it with Zaara’s Mahari dress which has some Turquoise colored embroidering and goes perfectly with it.
What I’m Wearing:
Wunderlich’s has just released this Limited Edition Marie Antoinette ‘Tassles’ gown. There are only 20 copies available in each color. I have 1 of 20 of the Pale Pink version available (even though the color looks more Purplish than Pale Pink). When you teleport to the main store, you’ll see an individual vendor for each color, showing the number of gowns that are left. Once the gowns are sold out.. they’ll never be available again in that particular color (or ever!).

Redgrave skins sneak peek!
Emilia Redgrave will be releasing these SOON! The Leona skin is the first Redgrave skins released for 2009. Like all the previous Redgrave skins, Leona is beautiful and comes in a variety of makeup. However, with this release, Redgrave skins will include 2 versions – with hair drawn on and without. Some people like skin with hair drawn on the scalp because it helps create a more natural hairline. I would have liked 2 different brow options if I had the choice between drawn on hair or lighter brows!
Here's Leona 'Pale' with gorgeous makeups! Lots of new eyeshadow colors in this release.

These skins might be launching as soon as next weekend! Keep your eyes peeled.
I’ve always loved your shapes. Never remove my juicy shape. But I can’t help but notice that on nearly every shape post, someone will ask why you don’t do demos, and you don’t respond. I stopped buying after laura (which was a long time ago) because I hate it when I buy something and it doesn’t work out the way I wanted it to. You’re a talented shape maker, Gogo, and I know I’d own a lot more shapes from Juicy if I knew it would work with my skin.
hi Delilas! Leave me your name and I will send you a gift 🙂
This is a really cute shape! Even though I don’t play SL anymore. I always check in your blog. Makes me miss SL. >.<
Very pretty!
I just wish you had a demo of the shape so I could see how it looks with my creations before I buy it.
Oh I absolutely agree! I’m a one-skin woman, I only change my skin when the quality is reallly aged (like every year or even 2!), so if a shape doesn’t fit my skin, I wouldn’t wear it.
Gogo! We need shape Demo’s!!
Wow! My jaw dropped. I might buy it though I’m very attached to my shape, she has a great body, though!!!
I love your shapes too, Love looking at them, But have to agree with so many awesome shapes to chose form demos would be great 😀 But from the photos they really do look stunning.
Looks great. 🙂 I too would suggest that you consider adding demos for your shapes — at least so people can see how faces would look.
*blows a kiss* http://www.skintilicious.com/#post71 Totally gorgeous shape, you did really good on this one! I only changed it a liiiittle bit, cuz it’s so perfect.
I really like the hair and the bra/shirt in this post. Can you please let us know where they are from?
The shirt & “bra” are from Mon Tissu, the shorts are from BOOM and the shoes are from Maitreya Gold. I’m not sure about the hair though and I’m curious as well, it’s cute.
The hair is Iris from Truth (:
I agree with everyone else…demos would help
in choosing a shape. I just got Sophia and not quite
happy with the way it looks with my skin…would love to
try a demo of Melinda!
I make shapes FOR a skin. It’s certainly wearable with any skin you’d like, but would prob have to tweak some. If it’s worn with the skin that’s listed in the included style card, it should look exactly like the vendor image. 🙂
It’s cool that you make shapes FOR a skin but…you’re shapes are really great and some might not want to wear the skin that the shape is for (or can’t afford it). Plus, it kinda sucks if you walk around and see everyone looking the same as you….just saying.
I’d love to demo your shapes and that’s the reason why I don’t buy any from Juicy. But I did take a chance with the Chelle shape…and I did buy the skin in the style card but ended up hating the skin and modified the shape a little to fit my next skin.
For 800L I’m at least expecting to try a demo, and I’m not buying a shape to wear with only one skin when I have over 30 sets in my Inventory…
Uh, you can wear Juicy shapes with ANY skin you want to, but I make faces that I think are attractive to go with the skin it’s made for (info listed in style card). If someone wants to wear the shape with some other skin(s), they should tweak, or wear it as-is, but I do not recommend that. Everyone knows that one shape does NOT fit all skins, ever. I tweak my shape for every new skin, so there’s a Gogo version of every brand/skin that I wear, hope that makes sense.
Gogo, I bought this shape several months ago and it is my FAVORITE shape and consequently the only one I wear now. I do have the skin suggested for it, but I actually found it too dark for some reason so I’m using Ebba Fair 02 and love-love it! It works with ANY colour/style of hair (right now I’m wearing blonde).
To those questioning the cost, 800L for a shape you will probably wear ALL the time, and one that works with a LOT of skins (with some minor tweaking, as you have to do with every shape) is really not that much. I consider it a good investment because now I’m not constantly trying to find a better shape or tweak the one I have on. This one is PERFECT.
Seriously – take the plunge. You won’t regret it!
Love ya Gogo!
