This is going to be a very picture heavy post!! Sorry… I’ll try to keep the waffle down to minimum!

First we have Briar by Aura… due for release TOMORROW, exclusively (for now) for Stumblebum! I am so so so so excited about this skin because I AM IN LOVE WITH IT!  She comes in 6 tones, 5 seen here (oops blogging delete mishap… SORRY)

With each tone you get cleavage options and freckle options… the lady garden isn’t bare but has a lil patch, but that doesn’t bother me as I barely get naked, although I think Tyr is releasing a fix to that (think!).  Each tone comes with 16 makeups, and they are LOVELY, I srsly just love the lip on this skin:

If the makeups weren’t enough choice, you get 6 lipstick tatts too!   Each is only wearable in it’s own tone though, so you won’t be able to mix and match with other skins, as the watermark with show through.    Overall I found no cons to Briar, the shading is lovely, my tummy and bum looks toned.. I don’t care about the lady garden because I don’t look at it, but you might! So demo before you buy if it bothers you!

HI. ELIKA RELEASED MESH.   Yes I woke up this morning, checked plurk and saw the epic Elikagasm going on… I was lucky enough to see the hair before it was released, in the development stages and I loved it then, I love it even more now it’s on mah head!!!   Two styles: Over and Locked.   Over is a lovely braided style that sits nicely over the shoulder, and Over is a different look for me, with the poofy bit atop the head and the longer hair over the shoulder, but srsly excited to see what Elika does next.. and yes, there will be clothes  EPIC. CLOTHES.

Dekade reopened recently and offered 2 mens and 2 womens skins!  Here you can see Grace and Bridget (shown in pale and tan respectively):

I’m not entirely sure I am in love with Grace as much as Bridget, but both come with brow options and the usual other options, hair bases etc etc.   They also work on a tattoo make up system, just a couple of combos from each skin shown below:

Here is a couple of Grace:

And a couple of Bridget:

Overall the skin is lovely, the shading is just fine, but i’m not sure it’s very “me”. I do love the makeup being on tattoo layers though because SO much versatility.  I think i’ll wear it around a bit, to get used to it!  Go and try the demos, you might fall in love!

Wasabi Pills has released.. AGAIN!  This is the Dragon mesh hair that is unisex!   Just your basic longer hair style with bangs clipped to the top of the head… But I do love a good WP release

Also finally, new Truth.  This is Gianna and Gianna 2.  Both come with rooted/streak options so there is plenty to choose from.   I am loving the shorter version (as it doesn’t cut into muh boobs).  Also i’m a big fan of the streak, so these are a hit in my book too!

And that… my fair people, is that!  I tried to make it short, I hope you go and demo everything!  Here are your taxi’s:

Aura (not out til tomorrow 01/02) | Elikatira | Dekade | Wasabi Pills | Truth

It’s like therapy.. but with hair.  I HAVE LOTS OF NEW HAIR *squees gently*.   Now, I had a bit of  meltdown this morning after I couldn’t find the collage option in Picnik, thankfully my plurky friends (Annie, ty!) helped me out and I learnt I was just not seeing it where it used to be, but it was still there.  I don’t know how you guys blog, but I make minimal touch ups on my pictures.  I usually throw them into Picnik and just collage them up for ease. I have PS and I do my Frooti store ads in that, but for an easy, and simple life… Picnik is fab. I am so sad it’s going, like really really sad.  It’s being “moved” to Google+ but from what I’ve seen and the rumblings I’ve heard.. not all the faaaaabulous options will be available.

I did look at alternatives like Picassa and FotoFlex etc… and they are nice! And do a lot of nice things, but nothing will beat Picnik! Anyway, now that sad is over.. HAIRAPY! That’s what I needed and that’s what I got:

Truth released both Alexis and Tammy yesterday!  Alexis is cutesey with her double high ponies! and Tammy is a high high high single pony.  I love them both!  Simple yet effective

Exile also released new hair!  2 Regular releases (and boys hair too!) and 2 TDR releases!  We have Misha, Meg, Josie and Rayanne!   Misha and Meg are just LOVE LOVE LOVE.  I absolutely adore them.  I think Meg might just be my new staple!! With her semi windswept look, ohhhh yes.   Josie is avaiable at The Dressing Room Blue and is a cute short style, and as a bonus Rayanne is a TDR style but only available at the mainstore as a special!  She’s a beaut too, total fairytail type hair

Wasabi Pills released a new style too, it’s braided over the front and just a normal, long style at the back.  I still can’t take pics with shadows in Wasabi Pills hair with the stupid alpha bug! GRRR!  It’s gorgeous though and you should definitely check it out. Cherilyn is her name and being cute is her game!

Tyr of Aura also released a new, pre-prelease teaser of Briar!!! Isn’t she a doll?! It’s available in the tones below, and each tone comes with the lipstick options at the bottom. She is a beauty, I am so happy to see Aura skins again!

Hello ratfans! Sorry been awfully busy in the old RL and stuff, but redsoledrea sent me her new skin to take a peek at, and as the ever thankful blogger I am, I needed to blog about it! I am a bit late with it… but here is what I found:

When I put the tones on, I immediately fell in love with Milky, the others weren’t really “me”, so I just stuck to taking pics in Milky.  The skins come with a OO option, which you can see on the main pic, that’s the boobalicious option!  The shading on the skins is really nice, except on the bum, I wasn’t a big fan of the bum shading, but as I rarely take pics of my bum that’s not really a problem with me, it’s just a little harsh for my liking.

The release comes with 6 initial makeups and all are very sweet, nothing too major or dramatic, and nothing too bare.  I did, however, have a problem with the lips.  I found them to look a little “flat” that’s not to say other people won’t love them, perhaps i’m just used to a really pouty mouth. (almost typed potty there, would of been true!)  The lips themselves are fine, but they do not suit me at all and i’m not sure why, they look a little like handdrawn lips (and perhaps they are!) and Willis and handdrawn have a HARD time meshing.

Overall it’s a really lovely first release (apart from the Skin Fair Skins – they were released already), I am going to keep a close eye on Boho Beauty and see what develops! Cos I reallllly love my stomach and boobs in this skin, muchly!

The hair featured is also new hair from Wasabi Pills!  Isn’t she a beaut?  Comes with a Bow or Clip attachment, but you don’t have to wear either.  Sachiko is 100% mesh, so please demo!

I can’t give you an SLURL for Boho Beauty at this time, because I couldn’t find it online and I logged out already and i’m about to be booted from the PC!, but it is on the Chic Sim!   Here is your taxi to Wasabi Pills
