I am no stranger to Another Shop's skins. I have previously blogged them, and fell in love with them - and their price. At the time, they were only $100L for an entire skin tone with all makeups. Amazing! However - Eloh Eliot has lowered her price once again to - FREE! Awesome? Yes, but thats not all. She is also offering these to us with full permissions. OMG. She has included the texture files in the pack, which is absolutely incredible. I had planned on making my own skin after the first of the year, so these are great for me to experiment with first. I also love the fact that I am now able to create my own makeups with these files.

Though, while I am very excited and happy she has done this, I and still wondering what her train of thoughts were when she decided to make them full perms. With all the idiots around who will no doubt resell these, it is difficult for me to understand why someone would offer such amazing skins with full permissions. But still - if people would respect other people's creations, I believe this is an incredible thing to offer. In a virtual world where it is possible to copy a person's look, it is great to know you can create your own makeup that reflects who you are.

When Roxana Demina dropped some review poses on me, I tried them out right away. Being a pose maker myself, I know how difficult making good, quality poses is. Seriously, its not an easy task. So, I was curious to see these.

These are really cute poses - very natural looking, and very realistic. Those two things are what I look for most in a pose, so it makes these awesome to me. These poses fit my avatar quite well, but according to her profile - she even makes the same poses for different sized avatars. I think thats a great thing to offer others. Pictured is a pose from "Beachy" to be released in 2008, and two poses from the "Reserved" AO (only $200L for an AO - awesome!).

She is looking to give her shop a new start, and is doing away with some of her items... so us shoppers get cheap goodies! Her older poses are put in a vendor for only $20L each, or $250L for all 15 of them!

OMG, the holidays came so quick this year, and my awesome partner got me so many things, I can't wait to blog about! But anyway, I will start my blog now :P For those of you who read my blog often, you know I am a huge fan of Alienbear Gupte's work. Every time she releases something, I go into mega-fangirl mode and skip happily to Le'Bear Castle. So, guess what?! She is having a 50% off sale on selected items! Just look for the items with a red border! Sale lasts until January 1st.

I bought soooooo much stuff. This one is the Princess Calanthe, and is very beautiful. I purchased this, and only realized that the back dropped down when I was trying it on at home. Totally an added bonus! I think this would look stunning with some backless gowns I have. ^_^


Two sets that I've been wanting for months: the Queen Nevada and Princess Nieve. I love the elaborate pieces on the Queen Nevada. While the Nevada is more formal, the Nieve could be worn in less formal occasions, which is why I love Alienbear's work so much - you can wear most pieces will almost anything. In the top floor of the castle, you can also find stunning crowns to go with these, that are also on sale. I picked a few up, but decided to only picture the main set.


This is the Krystelle '07 Christmas set, as well as the Christal set that was made for shine. These two are not on sale, and the silver Christal set is all sold out. Then, why am I blogging these? The Krystelle set, because it is so stunning, and at $1000L for the entire set, it is total awesomeness. The Christal set made for Shine... I am blogging this for a different reason. Ready for a story?

When it first came out, I stood in front of the display that said only 50 to be sold. I debated for several hours, and when my partner Bats came on, he suggested that I don't get it. Days went buy, and I regretted not purchasing it. When it sold out, I felt terrible that I didn't purchase it. I went to the Shine fashion show, and seen a few there. I swore they were just out to make me miserable. But, when Bats and I exchanged gifts on the 24th, the last gift he gave me... was the silver Christal Shine set! OMG, I was so excited, yet angry that he kept it from me. So, I feel very lucky to have it. I am blogging this because I think it is the best work Alienbear has ever created as of this posting, and since there is still 2 gold sets available for sale - it would be depressing if they all didn't sell out.

This will most likely be my last post until after Christmas, so I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I will still be logging on in-world (to hide from the RL family), so if you have any questions or anything, feel free to send me a notecard. Have a safe holiday~~

To make it easier to find things on this blog, I've decided to make a page completely dedicated to the SLURLs of the shops I blog about. Shops are constantly moving, and closing, more are opening, so this is a constant work in progress. If you have some to add, or notice some that has moved or is no longer there, please let me know.

Gah~ My IMs have been capping lately, and I'm crashing on log in sometimes, so if you've IM'ed me lately, I probably didn't get it, so feel free to drop me a notecard~ I apologize, SL can be a pain sometimes!

Anyway. I've been stalking the fashion feed lately, and have been noticing a few things from a place called Aphrodite Creations. Every time I see an item from them, I think to myself: "ooooo, pretty!" and put them on my list to visit. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to visit them (with all the Christmas freebie gathering and all!), so I was ecstatic when the creator dropped some review copies on me.

This outfit is really cute. Like, seriously. I put the Midnight one on when she passed them to me, and wore it the entire day (which is really good because I usually change 3-4 times a day O.o). It is the Tender Allure outfit, which I love the name. Very creative, I think. I usually have trouble finding things to wear with my boots, but these look great with a variety of them. Really cool. The colors on these are nice as well, I'm not much of a "color" person (I much prefer whites, grays and blacks), but these are definitely the kind of colors I have no problems wearing. This pictured set includes the Grape, Cherry and Midnight colors.


They come in a ton of color options as well. This one is Rose, Lime and Gold. There are other options as well, all of which are equally as cute. The price of these is really great as well - only $150L for a package of 3 colors! O.O -Or- you can get the fat pack of all 12 colors for only $450L.

I love these, I think they are absolutely adorable - though, if there was one thing I would love to see on this outfit : prim or sculptie lower arm attachments. I love the look that those provide - makes it a little more realistic than just the standard clothing cut. These are still nice the way they currently are though.

In addition to Tender Allure, she also has some other really amazing pieces of clothing - like a gorgeous looking gown/dress called Winter Wonder. I'm definitely going to have to come back to this shop in a few days to buy some other things ^_^

What: Tender Allure - $150L for 3 colors, or $450L for a fat pack of 12 colors
Where: Aphrodite Creations, Star Scythe (71, 196, 130)

OMG, I have soooooo much stuff I want to blog, and not enough time! But anyway, today's blog is about Blowpop's newest skins. I am no stranger to these skins, I got one from her update group a while ago, and they have only gotten better. These skins come in a ton of makeup options and many skin tones. Because there were a bit too many for my blog post, I chose my favorite tone (Cream) and my favorite makeups to picture.

There are a few things that I'm not too sure about. One is the tinting of the eyebrows and .... other body hair. I get frustrated with working the sliders (which is why I don't like editing shapes and things), so tinting hair that way is very intimidating for me. But~ The notecard that came with the skins was helpful, and made it less scary. (By the way, I love the title: "Caring for your Mellie" - Very cute and thoughtful!) I did get the eyebrows to the black shade I wanted though, so that was good. The makeups from left to right: Sapphire - Sunlit Copper Gloss, Amethyst - Soft Pink Shimmer, and Emerald - Clear Gloss.


I think the body is my favorite part of these skins. The shading is really nice, and I am fond of the shading around the bewbs. It seems to be difficult to find skins with the amount of cleavage I like in my skins, but these ones are great. The belly is well done as well. These skins just keep getting better and better - I think Annyka Bekkers is definitely a skin creator to watch. I do like these skins, and for the price, I think they are a great deal.

Also: If you like these skins, keep in mind that she takes really great care of her group members. I was a member for a while, but that dumb 25 group limit forced me to leave it TT_TT. If you have group space, Blowpop's update group is really a great one to join.

What: Melle2 Semi-Precious Collection - $799L a skin, or $2399L for a pack of 4
