Kaejo DaSilva, owner of Renegade, will be releasing new female skins shortly. This is the “Motivation” skin line, which will be available in 6 tones with 4 make-up options, including several pubic hair versions (I will never get used to saying things like this :p ).

I really like the skins, which feature faces that are a tad more realistic than I typically wear (but work very well I believe), and include some well done hand drawn details as well as excellent body shading. Overall, for me it’s a well done realistic skin.

As I said, the initial line features 6 tones (5 of which I have and will show you) and currently 4 make-ups: Gloss, Clean, Glamour, and Freckles. Kaejo says that later on he’ll add more creativity to them in his usual goth/emo/punk style, so look for those soon as well.

Here’s a look at several faces set to be available soon. As a reminder, I do not post process skin posts beyond consolidating, cropping and framing. WYSIWYG.

Light tone, Glamour

Tan tone, Freckles

“Lick, Don’t Bite” is the tagline for Annyka Bekkers‘ brand of Blowpop skins. I’ve blogged her generations many times before and I love all of them, though “Tuesday” is now perhaps my favorite. I know the world blogged Tuesday long before (I’m slowwww these days), but I spent a good chunk in SL this weekend and focused on wearing these lovelies much of the time.

You know the drill - 6 tones, 4 collections, 3 make-ups per tone, freckles, black/brown brows and only 950L for singles! The collection I chose to build the looks around are the Tuesday “All Day” collection, featuring 3 distinct make-ups to take you from dawn ’til dusk.

“Tuesday Morning,” fresh faced and unspoiled

“Tuesday Afternoon” - shopping? Lunch with friends?

I’ll get to Tuesday After Dark in a moment, but my other favorite make-ups of the 4 collections released are the “Shir” collection make-ups, shown here in the Honey tone. They’re totally pretty, and are my 100% favorite Blowpop skins to-date.

I was first introduced to Moxie Polano through Crimson Shadow a ways back. It was there I fell in love a bit - with her dresses that is. Now under her newer label Haute Style & Co. that she shares with Forda Fairlaine, Moxie continues to offer some of what I think are the loveliest gowns, if that’s your thing.

The truth is, I have no real use for gowns in SL on a regular basis - but I still collect them because I can! This “Le Mystique” gown simply took my breath away. From the side gathered bow to the cascade of flowers adorning the chest and the luscious color and delicate skirt. For me, it was irresistible as in something I would very much admire offline.

And another gown to catch my eye was “Dynasty.” Much more subtle, but with an interesting collar (and of course a BOW <3 on the back), it is best appreciated close-up for the lovely textures and details. My earrings are from the queen of bold, Valena Glushenko’s Diamonde label.

Hi! I know my blog continues to be quite still at the moment, but I do carve out the odd hour now and again to play dress up. Hopefully I’ll have more time as the summer rolls in…

At any rate, I chose my outfit based on a color I actually used to steer clear of. Now I find I am grabbing as much green as I can both in SL and offline. This dress is from Nicky Ree - the “Satin Shine Cocktail Dress” - with both a floral and a solid skirt. I collected basically all the colors of the Spring Romance dress, so this was an easy choice for me as it’s the same “cut” with fantastic texturing.

My hair is by my all time favorite Elika T, who (as everyone knows) released two new styles today to much rejoicing. I’m wearing both “Hayden” and “Celia.”

The round-toe pumps are new today from ETD as well. Beyond just being pretty, well-crafted and named after someone I adore, I’ll point out that everything Elika puts up for sale is totally affordable for everyone.
