Skinthesis

Skinthesis is dedicated to providing you with quality hybrid skins in a wide range of looks that will work with almost any shape! Cane Sutter is pleased to present to you the first wave of products, the Mindi skins, which come in 6 tones and a growing range of makeups to suit your every fashion need. Skinthesis skins are created using both handpainting and photo-sourcing from Cane's own collection of personal images to achieve a nice balanced look that will provide a touch of realism to your avatar without going overboard and making it look out of place in Second Life. Cane does custom work if you're interested, so if you have a specific makeup request, or want your own personal distinguishing marks such as moles, scars, or tattoos, please state your interest in a notecard so Cane can get back to you with details and a price quote. Among the demos that I tried out were these really cool metallic skins; if you are inspired to make your own Bond-style Goldfinger video for You Tube, for example, you could wear the Gold Dust Woman version of the new Mindi line. In an imaginative fantasy tribute to my own name, I might just have to rush back to the store and get my own copy of the Bronzed Goddess, which sounds and looks so perfect! There is also the warm, coppery Lucky Penny, which made me feel like Beyonce, and the truly cosmic Silver Lining, which makes for a wonderful opportunity to create a very interesting and playful costume. The Mindi line also comes in Dark and Ethnic variations which suit women of African descent; although it would be nice to have more designers take on the challenge of representing a greater, more realistic range of skintones for women of color, Sutter has created some lovely makeups that have face-flattering dimension and gloss. Mindi in Dark or Ethnic skins has fourteen options for day and evening, plus the Revelry Collection, which is a great foundation for special events, even more interesting costuming such as 17th-Century French courtesan roleplay, and very dramatic runway shows. For all of you looking to reminisce about the 80's when you pop in to the themed parties with your miniskirts and mohawks, leggings and tunics and rubber bracelets, there is the makeup of the Radical Collection. You too can have shiny fuschia lips and deep slashes of blush, just like Robert Palmer's model-perfect video vixens! A recent addition to the store is the Flapper Collection, so you can be Daisy to your Gatsby with heart-shaped deep red lips and a charming beauty mark right where it should be. I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille!http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sterling%20Pointe/148/150/22/

Shapes and Tats at Divahtoos

Divah Latte makes tattoos and shapes and takes portraits; her shop Divahtoos has locations at Tahitian Dreams' SuperNova Enterprises Complex and the Hot Tropics sim. Divahtoos are perfectly and dramatically visible on darker skins, and themes range from the sweet (butterflies, hearts and swirls, and stars) to the sexy (Lick!) for women, and totally thuggish for the guys--tear drops, anyone? Her Everyshape line includes pregnancy shapes and voluptuous plus sizes as well as a child shape; the adult women are grown-ass, sweet-faced sistas--no snobby, twiggy models here! Divah offers thirteen Everyshapes currently that have hips and breasts and thighs, very hourglassy, very curvy shapes that your special friend will love to hold, and I expect that more are on the way, as what she has displayed is listed in ABC order, so there is room for thirteen more, at least. she also makes custom shapes and custom tats. Her portrait studio offers a number of choices for combinations of textures and poses at affordable rates with stylish personalization on display. I can't wait to see what she makes next!http://slurl.com/secondlife/University%20City/228/144/282/

Glowing Skins for Ethnic Girls and Boys

I spent over an hour happily and enthusiastically collecting demos of skins and hair and shapes to sample in Shiloh Jun's store Shybooty, and it's a wonderful place for women of color who are not at all shy about having generous booties! Now I am back at home trying on my new stuff, and I'm definitely seeing faces and bodies that remind me of my momma, my aunts, my sister and my girlfriends. Distinctive facial features were complimented by vibrant, glowing and flattering selections of makeup looks, and subtle details to the shading and freckling of skins overall gave them a realistic depth that pops on the screen. I found the shapes a bit too top-heavy for my personal tastes, but if your lover likes his or her hands full, well, you might like Shiloh's shapes too, and she also has a line of BBW shapes and kids' shapes available too so that a genuine family can be represented. Among all of the interesting offerings in the store is also a line inspired by the looks of Miss Universe contestants representing a true United Nations of feminine beauty, including Misses Brazil, Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, Trinidad, and Miss United States. They look so lovely, I hope more are on the way so that we can really play, maybe have our own SL pageant! I haven't even tried on any of the hair, tattoos or clothing I bought, let alone any of the men's shapes and skins, so when I do, I'll try to remember to report back! Even though I love my own shape and skin, the one I've been in since I first came here nearly two years ago, I plan to be playing with these new, fun, very authentically black pieces for a long while. If you want to look like a sista should, I encourage you to explore Shybooty too.http://slurl.com/secondlife/Marqi%20Global%20HQ/89/217/24/
