I hope you’ve had a chance to visit the Vanity Universe Skin Fair 2009 because there are tons of new skins to try and buy!! I’m loving some of the new stuff released from some of my favorite brands.
Kira Ahn debut these Sally skins @ skin fair, but you can buy the entire line at the main store as well. I think Sally is just beautiful, and one of the best KA skins yet.
Sally comes with 3 brow options, and 10 makeups per skin tone. Normally I’m a Light Brows girl, but this time around I have to say I love the Dark Brows on these.. such a dramatic contrast to the sweet face. It reminds me of Megan Fox’s brows!
Here are all 10 makeups available (I’m wearing Sunkissed skin tone):
These are STUNNING…………
Visit KA Designs Island or get it at Vanity Universe Skin Fair 2009
What I’m Wearing:
Truth – Abbey (mocha)
Kira Ahn Skins – GS2 Sally (Sunkissed)
Stellar – Luscious Leather Dress (Plum)
Narcotix – Kurvy Pumps (Purple)
I didn’t need or even want a new mesh head, but for L$99 I decided to give the Akeruka Milena head a try. I haven’t worn an AK head in a long time, so I honestly don’t remember what I thought of them before. Today I’ll share my honest reaction to this Milena head. First of all, it works really well right out of the box. Since it’s made for EvoX, I was able to wear the exact same skin and makeup that I already use with my LeLutka EvoX head. I didn’t have to press any buttons or change settings to get it to work, it just did, and that was a nice surprise.
As with any new mesh head, I tried to tweak the shape to look like Gogo. The nose and lips were fairly easy to adjust, but the eyes gave me a hard time. I wasn’t happy with the profile or the chin either, which were the most challenging areas for me. I also noticed that no matter how I adjusted my shape, the closed-eye animation made my eyeballs poke through the eyelids. The eyes are rigged too tightly against the lids, so that’s definitely a problem if you like to use blinking or closed-eye animations.
Even though this head is only L$99, I don’t think it’s inferior to Akeruka’s full-priced mesh heads. It seems to be the same product, with the same HUD and the same challenges. I really hope those issues get fixed, because overall it’s easy to use and looks great right away.
If you just want a pretty face and don’t care about closing your eyes or using animations, this head might be perfect for you.
If I wasn’t obsessed with prim shoes, I would totally be a Mermaid in SL! I’ve always wanted a Mermaid costume but I’ve never had one until yesterday. I’m so in love with it, especially when worn with the Mermaid AO. It’s so fun and relaxing to watch my avatar float around and do little turns in the water. I love it!!
Visit Evie’s Closet for this Nereida Mermaid costume and Mermaid AO.

The Maitreya Lara body is nearly a decade old and it’s still going strong. Despite other bodies on the grid looking quite good, I’m kind of loyal to the Maitreya body because I like the body shape and the HUD. If you own the Lara body, wear the HUD and hit the redelivery button to get the free update.
So what’s all the rage about LaraX? My first impression is that I really like the new smaller shoulders. The other updates are not that noticeable to me, so even though Maitreya says to consider this a whole new body, it’s basically the same body with some tweaks. However, the change is enough that most items created for Lara will no longer fit. You can always switch back and forth between the two body versions as needed.
The mesh of the LaraX body is also smoother and more defined. The geometry has a better flow, resulting in a rounder and softer body. LaraX has:
- Rounder wrists and ankles
- Thinner wrists
- Reshaped shoulders
- More defined groin area
- Reshaped arms
Because of these changes to the weights and to the mesh, content made for Lara will most often not fit LaraX. LaraX should be considered a new body, requiring content that has been made in her specific size and with her specific weights.
We will keep offering the original Lara body (V5.3) alongside the LaraX body. They will come together in the package. So that you can switch between them according to your needs.

What’s included in the Maitreya Mesh Body LaraX package? A lot! I was pleasantly surprised to find mesh lingerie from Addams, Blueberry, and Velour included. There are also body parts mods included for Appliers and Bakes on Mesh (BoM).
Hello from Glenshalane Woods!
I coveted the Ichigo Spirit outfit from Insomnia Angel (@ Arcade), but I didn’t want to play for it. Thankfully, my friend let me borrow this outfit so I could frolic around SL for a while as the cutest Strawberry girl.
