Skin Info

The skin in this set is a V2 "prototype" skin, that I started work on over a year ago. Demos are available if you'd like to compare what changes have been made. Overall I feel like it's a smoother skin (which I think translates well in windlight). Only one makeup (with 2 variations) is available for the Bootleg Annie costume. More will be availabe with some of the costumes that we'll be releasing in the coming days and weeks.  Who knows, if there is enough interest, maybe I will develop it as a full new line of skins.  I've taken some photos below of the skin out of the pirate context to show it on its own.

Right now there are only two skintones available. Unlike past Vogue skins, these tones are moddable via the pigment sliders. I'm afraid that means the eyebrows and pubic hair are NOT moddable.  In the event the skin is developed into a full line, I'd love to get some feedback regarding which people prefer to mod, skintone or hair color, since it's not possible to do both without some serious finagling.

Stay tuned for some exciting new costumes coming up. And until then, get to swabbin' the decks, ye hornswagglin' scurvy curs!

New School Collaboration Available Now

I'll try to keep this short and sweet, since I know it's been blogged already. I just wanted to post a quick heads-up that the New School collaboration between myself, Kari, TorridWear and Zyrra is now available at Celestial Studios.

I've been out sick so I'm a bit late getting this information out, but if you've missed it, be sure to check out this big set which now includes a jacket fatpack buying option.  Torrid posted all the information over on her blog, so read up there for all the details.

Thanks to Menno, Torrid, and Zyrra for working on this project with me and being ever so patient when I kept passing out with fever. <3

New Handbags

This was a really fun project for me, being the first time I ever attempted a handbag. I went with one of my favorites, the hobo bag. There are tons of colors, styles and materials to go with virtually any outfit.

These are sculpted prim handbags. There are four versions included in each box. There are two attachment points (left shoulder and left hand, as illustrated in the top photo) and two options for each: custom hold pose or no custom hold pose (in case you actually WANT to whap your friends in the face with your purse when you type).  Mucho thanks to Torrid Midnight for whipping up these awesome hold poses for me!

Here are a couple larger photos to show detail (click to view full size):

And here are all the options. Please stop by to see them bigger, so much detail is lost in these little thumbnails.

Handbags are at their new permanent home, just to the right of the Celestial Studios entrance.

Please note: I've had some reports of poses not engaging when the purse is first attached. I'm not sure if this is a conflict with an AO or what exactly, but detaching & reattaching the purse seems to fix it.  So if you experience this problem, please detach and reattach your bag to solve it.

Sexy Halloween Goodies

Sexy, funny, cheeky, cute - it's all here in the latest release from Celestial Studios & Last Call.  These costume packs include all of the contents listed on each vendor - complete Halloween looks from head to toe (excluding skin & hair).  We had so much fun making these and were crying, often, from laughing so much.  We hope you have fun with them during the trick-or-treat season and MAYBE, just MAYBE you'll end up the girl on the block who gets the most candy in her basket!  Okay, that sounds so bad but it was supposed to be cute o.O  You'll find these costume kits at both Last Call & Celestial Studios on our new items walls.  They're priced at 300L/kit. <3<3<3 After November 1st, they will move to their permanent home in Burlesque Dolls.

The ads are self-explanatory and list the included items, so here they are!

 

Prim Eyelashes

26 new pairs of prim eyelashes available now.  I made 2 different collections.  "Classic" for more every day wear and "Club" for those who want to release their inner false-eyelash-batting drama queen.

Vogue eyelash wearers, please note.  These lashes are constructed a bit differently than you're used to. They are made out of cylinders instead of torii and each lash is in three seperate pieces.  This will hopefully make it a bit easier to get a perfect fit but may make it a bit harder to mod them if you're not used to modding one prim at a time.

Here are all 26 new eyelashes.  Stop by the store to see them bigger and better. :)

Note: the eyelashes are totally tintable, if black is not your thing.  You can make some pretty cool combos on the club lashes. 

Spring Things

First, a set of 4 springy makeups for the Vogue Skins.  These are sheer and colorful and go beautifully with almost any spring pastel pallette.  Even the red has a sheer glossy finish, inspired by my favorite Vincent Longo Cherry lipstain.

EDIT: I forgot to mention these skins are also available next to the Spring Enchantress display at Last Call in the Dazzle sim.  They were not made specifically to go with that release, but they do look great with it!

To go with the skins (or with anything!) are a set of eyes with lighter iris colors. 

I hadn't made eyes in awhile, and I do love making them. I don't know why.  I think they're such an easy way to totally change your appearance.

Anyway, I'm releasing the Spring skins as "Special Edition", which in this case means that they will be available for a few months and then replaced with Summer skins, but I plan to bring them back into the full time collection when all four seasons are complete as a "Seasonal" pack.

More Eyes

New today, ten more contacts. This line is called the "Natural Series".  Some of these shades are a wee bit on the "unnatural" side (violet, aqua). They are just not as dramatic as the last two batches, thus the title.  I may do one more series of eyes in the near future, just to balance out my walls.  I will probably also take the time to rework them for IMVU one of these days, I've got a couple requests for that.

Jeepers Creepers!

New peepers at Celestial Studios!

I have released two series of eyes today.  I've been playing with these contacts for awhile, and I'm finally happy with the results! 

The first series is called "Deep Eyes", which is fairly self explanatory. Very dark and shiny shades, which I love when I wear blonde hair. I like the contrast.  There are 10 shades available in each series, priced at L$75 for one or L$375 for the complete set.

Here's the full range, and a sample of the individuals for detail (click to enlarge):

The second series is titled "Mirror" and is a super bright and shiny/reflective collection. Which is what I like to wear with dark hair. I'm just weird like that.  These have also been described as "Lazers". (Ty for that one Sol). :P But I like them!  I think they're very striking.
