Some days I just feel like posting credits to a look and a link to my slurl page, other days I am more “talkative”. Today is such a day.

With the release of SecondLife beta viewer 2.1 it has become possible to wear multiple clothing layers (up to 5)and the blouse of the same kind. For instance, In this outfit, I am wearing 2 jacket layers. for the top, and the blouse. Now technically I still could have solved this by wearing the shorts on the underwear layer, the tank top on the shirt ánd pants layer and the blouse on the jacket layer, but hey, SL has this silly bug that leaves a gap between the shirt and the pants layer and I hate that, so this is a wonderful solution.

This means that you could also opt for a tattoo hair base and tattoo lashes, and still be able to wear your favorite tattoo beauty mark and lipstick… see the possibilities? Good development I’d say. Now of course there are lots of residents who couldn’t care less and have other wishes for their SL but hey… sometimes even I get lucky!

Hair: Eha’s Megu black ash (hair band colored)
Skin: Dutch Touch XaYa Caramel cute pink

Taylor, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

This is a quote from the release notecard Nena Janus from League sent out to her subscribo group:

*League* Skin Taylor -Feline- in Blonde!

I got so many requests for a blonde version of Taylor, it looks unlikely that Il do the whole line but I had to do at least one for you, so here it is, with all the options youd expect of the Taylor range: Hairbase (in Blonde), Freckles and Cleavage Options- 8 skins in each pack, 4 skin tones available: Pale, Medium, Sunkiss and Suntan

The skin is available at Harajuku Box skin faire, and to me it is not clear whether or not after the fair, this skin will be still available, so I can only recommend you to go get it while it’s out there.

I really, REALLY would like to shout out to Nena though for a full range of Taylor skins with blonde eyebrows. It is such a pretty face and just the Feline make up is not enough.

So, if you want more blonde skins from League as well, leave a comment with your full avatar name and show Nena how many people want this.

Though not as insanely hot and humid as during the weekend, summer in the lowlands is still more than present. And hence nothing better than something hot, to keep you cool, like this new Xotic dress from House of Hucci. The necklace, which is really pretty, is part of the dress and holds up the draped fabric on the stomach area. I am wearing the dress with Bax Coen’s brown prestige boots, and PXL Creations’ Candy skin in tan (out now) and Kin’s black Cricket hair.

I will post a full review later, but for now, I just wanted to show you how pretty Candy is. This photo is basically unedited, except for some cropping and the adding of a border. I have, however been playing with windlight for this shot. You will find the natural skin slightly darker and more saturated with default light.

Aaaaah… yes… today’s look is about old again, actually, it’s been some time that this skirt and blouse have not been available anymore. It is one of the first things I bought when I first started out in SL, it’s a 2006 item from Mischief, Jackie. Honestly, it still looks pretty!

Janie Marlowe, after having been around forever, with her brand Mischief is going to close her shop and will launch a complete new brand. So no drama, just, after so much time, Janie wants something new and fresh, and a new brand is the way. In the meantime there is still a sale going on on her current collection, so go get some of her lovely outfits before they will disappear forever. I’d like to thank Janie from here, for being such a constant fashion factor in my SL, and I’m looking forward to her new designs!

Like I said, Jackie was discontinued quite some time ago already, but the bag and belt from fri.day are, as well as the champagne Volume necklace from Atelier AM and Maitreya’s verve pumps.
I’m wearing League’s Taylor skin (medium, feline) and Truth’s Roxana in almond.

Aaaaand… more hair!! Truth released 3 new ones again. From left to right, Roxana, a half long messy bob, with and without streak options; then there is Tabatha, a quirky fresh asymmetrical ponytail with both streak options and a colorable hairband, and then, my favorite of the week, Josephine, a classic low in the neck braid which I haven’t seen this lovely since Elika had her limited edition Sea Nymph hair out.

Happy Hairday!!

New @ Exile July 1, 2010, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz.

Look at these luscious, ultra feminine, sexy new hairs from Exile!!! I can’t pick my favorite this week. I am so happy though that Kavar made a Deanna 2 (right) which is a loose style, as opposed to last week’s Deanna updo. I’m also very pleased with Alessa (left) a semi updo, the top layer of the hair casually tied together on the back of the head and April (middle) is just really very sexy. I wish I were better in describing hair, but apparently it’s a part of my English that is lacking. However…yes, it;s going to be a great hairday again.

Flowey’s Flutter Memel is a sweetheart. She’s one of my favorite (but currently not adding new) posemakers, and recently she caught the building virus and now she makes lovely, dreamy skyboxes. Riq Graves, from Reek is my go to creator for quirky well made stuffs. Last weekend he released these cowboy hats with 2 different hairstyles for the ladies (wearing Savannah) and also a hat only version which leaves you more freedom to mod your hair of choice to fit the hat. Also he made these saddle stools, with 6 animations, from cute and casual, to hilarious.

They are out now, in my little shop at Copley Square.

Filed under: /GEEZ/, new releases, poses

Lionskins has a new skin out, Nova, and while I was absolutely NOT impressed or even amused with her previous skin/collab with Leezu, at first glance this skin looks better again, more like the old Lionskins, like Cana and Zulu.  So it was time for an up close and personal with Nova. Nova is available in 4 skintones from ultra pale, to pretty much African dark.

I tried the demos in pale and sun and eventually decided to go get a skin in the sun tone, so I could show you the skin sans demo signs and lines. Oh how I hate them, they emphasize seams that you might not even notice if not for the lines, but once you know where to look for them, even without the demo lines, this skin shows a few subtle seams especially around the ankles and the hips. The template edges on the legs are quite efficiently masked by a skin highlight, but in my opinion it is a bit too harsh.

From a distance this skin looks pretty good, but zooming in on the body, theres is a LOT of noise on the textures, especially on the back. A bit of graininess adds to a realistic look, but too much looks like you have a skin problem. The shading on the lower back and the bum on the contrary is quite delicious. Again, too bad for the noise.

I love the shading of the stomach area, toned, but not muscular. Pretty much the way I wish my own tummy would look like in RL.  I really wish there was at least an option for a bellybutton piercingless skin, though. It is almost a dealbreaker for me, and I think this time will be the only time I have worn this skin with a bikini or undies. It’s going to be strictly PG, or high waist swimwear with Nova!

What I also wanted to share are the legs of Nova, but not because I think they are stunning. The knees look kinda old to me, the toes are so tightly placed on the template that it seems a toe is missing and on  the back of the knees the shading is so dark that my first impression was varicose vein alert. But on second glance, the shading is just too contrasted.

Oh my, now that I am actually scrutinizing this skin, I see a lot of little things that irk me. I like thicker eyebrows, but hmm… it doesn’t hurt to use  tweezers every now and then, and I think it’s ok to use a photo-base… but please… I don’t want pimples on my forehead… or pores on my cheeks… at least, not the huge ones! But… all that taken in consideration, I still like this face enough to spend 1k for this skin. Not in the least for the awesome vinyl lip gloss! Other little (but easy to cover up) issues I have with this skin  are the highlights on the breasts, and the vagina, which… well… nuff said… try a demo if you want to see it.

Last but not least, I appreciate it when content creators offer a little extra, like in this case 2 versions of a hair add-on for the hairbase skin, but please, dear creatives of SL… make it matching to your hairbases, or a lot of people will run around the grid with awful hair, and that is NOT good publicity for either the skinner, or the hairmaker.

Sooooooo… yeah, you’ll occasionally see me in this skin, but I surely hope for a more refined and subtle V2 of Nova. As always, try a demo for yourself before buying a skin. My shape is quite a determining factor in how this skin looks on me, and the effect might be totally different on you.

This Friday is a GOOD hairday, with newness (yesterday) from Truth and just a couple of hours ago from Exile. Exile has 2 new styles out today, Candace, a bombshell do, shown here in Harlow (which is my fave blond texture from Exile)  and Deanna (shown in kindred) which is a gorgeous loose updo with some serious bangs. A little bit less recent is Leslie, shown in whiskey, but I love it so much that I wanted to post it anyway. Leslie is right now available in 2 colors for at the Dressing Room and as everything over there ridiculously low priced!

Truth has 3 new out this week and caters to the long hair fans again with the retro-ish Lucille (worn in teal, yeah i know, i got carried away) which comes in a streaked version as well as a mono color version, Rayne, my fave of the week, adorably punky and also available in a streaked version. As an extra there is also a cute little bow to be attached. And then there is Iris, lovely braids with texture change beads (you can also make them invisible).

I can only say, TGIF!!!

Blogger Challenge: Barerose 2010, originally uploaded by Grazia Horwitz. Photo edited in PS

I was over at Barerose earlier and seriously… June Dion from BareRose is one of the all time most fabulous, consistent and creative content creators of SecondLife, who just is underexposed on the blogs. Maybe because she’s such a constant factor, that people tend to focus more on the novelties, but anyway, I got fascinated all over again with the incredible variety of fashion, fantasy, historical and just plain outrageous outfits, all under 200L$ for multiple colors.

Last year our resident vampire fashionisto, Winter Jefferson, started a BareRose appreciation week, which was a huge success. I wouldn’t go that far, but this week, I’d love to see a lot of you going crazy creative with BareRose outfits!

I have picked the Chimera Huntress outfit for this picture, combined with PXL Creations’s Efe skin and L.Fauna’s red Allure eyes.

I’m looking forward to see your entries. Please leave me a link in the comments, so that I can see yours too!!!

Congratulations, Luca!! (Little RL message… as a reminder that I need to call a special, old friend today)

These weeks are hectic, but it’s still fun to throw an outfit together. I must admit, I am very happy with Hunain being on a (blog) roll right now, no pun intended. His contributions challenge me to be creative and to look into new stuff. Like for today’s look, it probably would have taken me like uhm… forever, to discover the awesome (unisex) pants at Zoobong, or the amazing and oh so affordable stuff from HoC.

Anyway, let’s get down to business, shall we?

In the previous post of Hunain, he hinted already that I would post an Explore! item about White Taj & Black Taj…. well… here it is and I must admit, these builds are awesome. White Taj is modeled after the world famous Taj Mahal, Black Taj is the fruit of  imagination. Both are beautiful and great for exploring, or taking someone out on a date, or both. Lots of places to dance or to enjoy a sunset with that special someone.

Last week Kavar Cleanslate released his newest skin at Exile, and I am really impressed. Well defined brows -in dark and light version-,  a cute nose and kissable lips (not to mention some very alluring make up names!). The body has an overall softness that I also very much like. The breast shading is a wee bit angular, I would prefer them more round, but they do not look like silicone implants, which is an absolute plus.

I love the back and the bum on this skin, for the softness I mentioned before, but compared to that, the hands are pretty detailed, and while in themselves they look fine, they do not match the softness of the rest of the skin. Anyway, that’s just a minor point of criticism, and certainly no dealbreaker! Chloe comes in 5 skintones which are looking pretty fine, though personally I like Chloe best in the lighter skintones.

Before buying any skin, please remind to always try a demo. The way a skin will look on you highly depends on your shape.

Other need to knows: hair Kylie by Exile, bikini by Simone (it was the first one I ever bought, I don’t know if it’s still availale.

Hui is waiting downstairs. The engine of his car running. We’re going out for a couple of drinks and a supper on the town as we need some time to just catch up instead of always talking blog stuff (or something like that). I quickly check my make up in the mirror, and then I’m ready to go. Catch you later!
