You know that fair girl that burns before tanning? The one with the freckled nose? The one with the sensitive skin?

In SL too, I most often wear fair skins because I personally find them the most beautiful for my AV and a truer reflection of my real self. Of course, many of my friends often sport the tanned look, which suits them, but I regularly gravitate to the fairer tones if possible.

In this case, I’m talking about the Gen 4 Fair tone from Minnu Model Skins, which like the other darker tones, contains a wide-variety of make-up choices for a range of different looks. It’s by far my favorite MMs release to date…as I know it is for so many.

For this post, I’ve let the make-ups in the tone guide my clothing choices…and they took me in and out of my inventory for several hours. I’m impressed by the range of looks you can get with just one tone - or even just one skin, since each comes with 2 different eyebrows AND freckled versions.

I do have favorites though…make-ups #3 and #4 (shown here) are definitely 2 of my top picks.

Cachet - the new clothing line on its way from Thora Charron and MMSkins - was previewed yesterday at the Glam Magazine debut with great fanfare.

If your stylings lean towards high fashion, you’ll be wanting to check these out when they’re set for sale sometime in the next week or so I am told. I am also personally excited about Maitreya’s new shoes…you can see pictures of those on the On Your Toes blog and also on Sofia Gray’s.

This is “Max” from Cachet. Worn with MMSkin’s Pale Linda skin and stilettos from Maitreya. Feathers? Check. Glitzy glasses? Check. Fierce belt? Check. Skintight pants? Indeed. You can see it larger on my Flickr stream - just click “view all sizes.”

Coming soon…

Skin ~ MMSkin PaleNF Linda
Hair ~ Coif Sushi (snow)
Outfit ~ Cachet “Max”
Shoes ~ Maitreya Slinky Stilettos (white)

I attended the very well produced launch of the new Glam Magazine today. There were nearly a dozen designers presented in all, including the highly anticipated Paper Couture Spring line, gorgeous new footwear from Maitreya (seriously, amazing), and a new clothing line from Thora Charron and MM Skins!

I crashed promptly after these photos, but here’s a glimpse of what we can expect to see from Paper Couture. In typical PC fashion, it is wearable art. Please, forgive the unrezzed or unclear - my computer actually blue screened after crashing and these are straight from SL with no processing. I expect many others have far better snaps than these, which I expect we’ll see soon.
