keep calm...

So I've been having issues with my Firestorm Viewer and its ability to run on my Mac. Lately its been torturous to even take a photo, which makes me very sad, since its one of the few ways I have been able to find to express my creativity in SL. I've told myself to keep all things in perspective, and to look for some ways that this can be fixed. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and keeping calm, like this cute tank set from TASHI says :) Unfortunately, chocolate bunnies are not in my diet so I guess I can substitute that with some fruit ^_^ .  See details for links and info on my outfit.. Happy Shopping! xoxo Tessy

Stix Skins at Skin Fair 2016

Stix Skins has a lovel set of three new faces out for Skin Fair 2016. Above is Bo. I wanted to show you the tones of the skins, thus the collage . Below are Aoife and Chiyo. All come in the same tones as Bo, and all are Omega, Lelutka, Genesis Head and TMP head compatible, and come with appliers for Belleza, Maitreya as well as Omega, and also a few more mesh bits. You can read more about what's included at Stix Skins Blog.  Eyes in the image above are by L'Etre, except the last image in which I am wearing eyes by IKON, and hair by Analog Dog.

I hope you enjoy the post and that you get a chance to check out these skins at Skin Fair. Remember, go with as low scripts as you can, preferably with a full body alpha. This will keep the lag down for everyone and make the experience that much better. 

And now on to the pics...

 This shows Aoife on my system head. Below you can see it on LOGO's Alex Mesh head.  Eyes by IKON and hair by Exile, and I am wearing an eyelash tattoo by Lumae.

 above eyes are by IKON and hair by Magika

And this is Chiyo on LOGO's Alex Mesh head.  Eyes by IKON and hair by Argrace

Thanks for reading... have a great start to your week and Happy Shopping! xoxo Tessy

Lumae at Skin Fair 2016

EEEEEEE! Lol.. that's pretty much what I said when I saw the new skin by Lumae, Eirtae, that you can find at the Skin Fair 2016 beginning tomorrow, March 11th.  

For this skin, there are 8 tones to choose from from pale to dark, and each one is lovely in its own right.  I will let the photos speak for themselves.. there are a lot this time! I wanted to show the tones and how they look on Maitreya, Belleza and Slink bodies, as well as the Logo and Lelutka faces and the default Avi head as well. (This is how I will most likely be doing my next few skin blog posts, and then play around with ways to really showcase the creators work.)

Although I love my mesh heads, I still really don't use them exclusively, so its nice to see creators making these gorgeous skins for our default avis too! The skin look amazing on Lelutka and Logo by the way.  All photos below are raw SL images, just cropped.

All the above were shot on the Maitreya Lara body. The first pic in each row shows the skin with the freckles option, Milk (top) and Tawny (bottom). In case you want to know, the hair in these collages is from Magika, called Serene, and I used IKON eyes for all these pics. I also wore the included eyelash tattoo for the system avi skin.

please note below what is included in each skin pack

 This is on the Belleza body..

And this is on the Slink Hourglass body..

As you can see, they look amazing on each of these bodies, but please always be sure to try a demo for whatever body you do wear. Lumae is very generous in including appliers with her skins. 

Below are photos of the skin appliers for Logo Alex Mesh head and then LeLutka Stella Mesh heads.

 I hope that you liked the pose and at least get a good idea of what the skins look like in SL. I will be doing more skin posts like this too, showing post processed pics and pics that are "raw". I enjoyed it and I hope you get a chance to check out Skin Fair 2016!
