everything that drowned me..

"everything that drowned me

taught me how to swim."

night songs..

"Aphrodite," I pleaded to the moon drenched sky.

"Tell me, if love is meant to heal, why does it destroy those who choose it?"

From somewhere beyond the clouds, I heard the Goddess laugh.

And I knew.

Anja shape from .lovelysweet.

 So, being away officially from SL has not kept me from at least doing one of the things I've always enjoyed, and that is making shapes :) I've made a few and had time to actually update my MP store. Here is the latest, and this time I also made a pose to go with it (see images below) . The pose is free if you get the shape (it is included). This shape is on promo pricing on MP, and its a STEAL!

I make very good shapes with attention to detail for the faces. It is something I am very good at, and I do not apologize for not being humble about it. (And when I mean good, I mean I make realistically proportional bodies with lovely faces and profiles)

 However, I do not believe that pricing these at high prices is necessary. The price, in this case, does not indicate the quality.  Please do not be fooled by higher prices on shapes. They are extremely easy to create (I know, I've made at least 1000, no exaggeration, over the past 11 years in SL) and have almost no other cost associated with them since you do not need to upload templates or meshes for them.

The shape is made to be used with Catwa's Catya Bento head and Maitreya's Lara mesh body. I used an Atelier Pepe skin, Brigitte, that's a bit older and I believe it was a group gift. I did test it with various other skins, and as usual Glam Affair, Pumec, Atelier Pepe, MUDSKIN, Skinnery and Deetalez as well as others I had in my inventory all really suited this shape. She is very slim and about 5'9".  Currently, I have my shapes up for a promo price of 99L and then after a few weeks I go up to 299L.

You can see below more images on the shape as well as the pose included. Have fun and enjoy!

Tonic body update!

So, when I received my Tonic body update with Bento hands and the ability to switch between foot height on the HUD, I was super stoked. And, now, with the update to the body that includes aureola/nipple appliers, I was over the moon!

I had to log in from my SL leave to do a post on this..how could I not?  Like, seriuosly, how cool are these babies??

Note: The image above was NOT photoshopped. This was taken with Firestorm viewer using Strawberry Singh's portrait windlight on Ultra setting, and cropped for the purposes of my blog. 
The image below was post-processed.. enjoy xo


I know its different for people but I really think these are lovely and so natural looking, and they work with ANY skin you use, not just the pretty Lumae ones that the body comes pre-loaded with (which have also been updated by the way! Please do go check them out.) I am using a skin from PUMEC (which includes Omega body appliers in all their gacha skins, yes!) with my Catwa Alice non-Bento head. The aureola/nipple appliers come in a range of tones and worked perfectly, just one click and you are set.

I am using a pose from MILA poses for bento hands it works perfect with the Tonic bento hands, too.
All in all, I am really liking how the creator has kept up with updates. Now, I just wish more creators would make skins with Omega body appliers included. The Tonic body comes Omega enabled, which is wicked cool. I've a ton of skins that would look lovely on my head, but I cannot use because the body is just for either Maitreya or Belleza. Skin makers, please please follow PUMEC's lead and include Omega appliers for the body (and head if you can!) in your packs! You might actually get more customers :)

Lovelysweet...

Well, it has been a bit since I officially "left" SL. In essence I did, and even though it was a hard choice to make I felt then and still do that it was the best choice for me and my family. I do love doing photos and actually do enjoy blogging, but the pace I was keeping was hard to maintain. I have been battling with Lupus for a few years, and recently had a very bad flare -up. Needless to say, not only was this painful, but also scary, and made me realize that my life needs to be more balanced.

That being said, I do like making shapes and other aspects of SL, and I dont' want to completely leave forever. So, I still pop in every so often to make a shape and put it up on MP.  I am able to take the photos and post it up now that I have time too!

This shape is made using the updated Belleza Freya body with bento hands, and the Lelutka Chloe Bento mesh head. I love the Lelutka heads, and their HUDs are so elegant and easy to use.

I really love customizing my avi, and am flirting with the idea of creating some videos on how to do that for newbies and old timers alike. I have the time so I certainly will look into it.. fun times!

Look below for links to stores, etc.
As always, have a blessed day!
