On the Subject of Review Copies

I can't believe I have enough offers lately to have a review policy! Ok, it's not really a policy, but a suggestion. Recently I found in my email that someone had offered me inventory days ago, but I never got it. Maybe it was that time I crashed at start-up, or SL ate it, but nope, it's nowhere to be found. I'm not the type to ever ask for review copies since I feel like it's not my place to ask for a sample others don't get. It's great to get them of course, but I don't like putting the designer in the place of saying no either.
Anyway, if you'd like me to possibly review something, please send me an IM as well, or a separate notecard letting me know you dropped something on me. I'm going to post this on the sidebar as well.
Thanks so much to those of you who have dropped things on me, I really do appreciate it. Read more!

Minnu Model Skins

I am debuting here some very new skins from Minnu Model Skins by Minnu Palen and Betty Douglas, and I am raving about the gorgeous make-up and shading on these skins! I even love all five tones that I've seen so far! I've chosen to show you 2 very different ones to sort of show you the range that you can expect though there is darker and lighter.
The first is Light Skin- 40's and with the red lips and slightly smokie eyes (and my retro 'do) gives the exact feel of a 40's starlet, which is a look I really love. The red is a prefect shade to compliment the skin tone, it almost gives me goosebumps!
The second one is Mid Skin - Copper. And copper it is! I kept the same hair on for continuity, but it would look much better with a dark brown or black. The eye makeup really stands out to me on this one, the exotic choice of colors that are blended to perfection are incredible.
As for the rest of the body, that's a personal matter. Some people like certain types of nipples or lady bits, and really every person has to see if the skin suits their preferences. However, as I say this, I love all the details on these skins which is really surprising as I'm generally really picky about my skins.
The nipples are nice but not overly realistic and the bits aren't too graphic. I love the shading on the stomach and the collar bones, oh my!
The booty is très delicious as well, is there anything I don't like about these skins? Maybe there could be 3 more hairs on the eyebrows? I'm grasping at straws here. I guess its obvious, I love these skins! The front picture is while wearing the 40's skin, and the back is of copper.

Summer Heels

So, I've been having a fairly busy RL, and am sorry about not letting you all know about the Simone!Design fashion show this past Saturday, but this is another coming up next weekend and I will be posting the information here ASAP.
On to the post at hand, some cute summer heels that will make you feel like dancing. These beauties are from She's So Unusual Shoes by Rowan Carroll. They're called "Gingham CrossToe" and are available in 5 colors including the blue that's shown. A single pair is 75L which is a steal considering how much some other designers charge. It's also worth popping into the store even if these particular sandals don't tickle your fancy, there are a plethora of styles and colors to choose from, everyone should be able to find something they like!
So go have a look around and have an open mind, there are some unusual shoes! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Redux%20NW/147/202/22/

Thievery

Please read the article on Savoir Hair's website called "Hair Thieves" at http://savoirhair.blogspot.com/2007/06/hair-thieves.html to learn about another case of someone trying to sell the hard work of other's as their own. It's disgusting and shameful. That's all I have to say on the subject without boring you all to death. Read more!

The show begins at 3 PM and is being held in Simone's main store at: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Simone/94/108/102/ Read more!
