::::: Bella is out at the main store! There are 5 skin tones from pale to dark tan, with 10 makeups each. Each makeup includes 3 eyebrow colors and 3 cleavage options.
Bella is not airbrush perfect, but has a realistic look. I have used more photo sourcing than ever before to accomplish this, however she is still what's called a "hybrid" skin (part drawn, part sourced).
These skins have been developed, as usual, in Caliah Lyon's windlight settings without any extra local lighting.
These settings are devoid of any shadow casting.
The skintones and makeups can look different depending on settings used, so please be sure to try the free demos in your preferred lighting!
There are also 3 shapes available, custom made for the Bella skins by me. (see picture below)
The body ("model" shape) is the same for all 3, but the faces are slightly different. They are mod and copy, so you can adjust them to your own preferences! Be sure to keep a copy of the original backed up ;)

::::: There are 2 content theft awareness campaigns going on today and tomorrow.
As you may or may not know, content theft is out of control in our virtual world and nothing is being done by our "government". They are more concerned with rating "mature" content in an already 18+ environment, probably forced to by concerned parents yelling "law suit" because their under-age kid found a way to enter an adult environment and being exposed to pictures of naked bodies and/or sexually explicit content. It's a shame when a government has to take over the parent's job while its own legal, mature residents are being victimized and need help.
Sorry but that's how I think about it.
Anyway, I just read my dear friend Sasy's blog post about her experiences with theft, and it brought me to tears because as a content creator, I KNOW how it feels, and I can honestly say that being stolen from so blatantly and disrespectfully (the thieves laugh in your face and are proud of it) feels like being raped.
Read it here.
The campaigns ask to not upload or buy anything inworld, better yet, don't even log on, on november 5 and 6, to send a message to Linden Labs.
You can read the experiences and opinions on content theft from noted content creators HERE.
If you are wondering how it is even possible to steal in SL, I'm not going to elaborate, but there are certain tools and third party viewers which enable it.
I'd rather elaborate on how to spot theft, and ask all our customers to check what you buy and where you buy it. If it looks familiar, double check who the creator is, and report any suspicions to the original creator.
You can find out how to do that HERE.
If content theft is allowed to continue and grow, there will be no new original content left, and legit creators will leave.
I will not upload or buy anything today and tomorrow, and therefor am moving the release of my new skin line to saturday, november 7. I hope you all understand, and will stand with us.

::::: Due to many requests (thank you!) I've made a gothic pale tone for the Hope skin line.
She has black brows only, and each makeup includes a regular cleavage and a "push up" cleavage for that tight reveiling clothing ;) .
I have chosen for a more realistic greyish pale skin color instead of the very white.
You can find Hope gothic with 10 makeup options on the Hope skin vendor stand in my main store on the Journey sim!
Demos are free, do try before you buy!

(hair by SLink, tank top by shoparmidi.com, skin is Hope gothic natural which is only available
to members of the VIP update group)

::::: I started working again on the new female skin. Here's a pic of what it looks like now. The body has been overhauled as well, but I am not gonna show you yet *grins*.
I am trying to use more photo sourcing again. Now, I am not an expert nor a pro, and I learn as I go, so be gentle please =P
I've decided on a name, Bella.
(hair by !lamb)
I'll be working on it for some time still, until I am satisfied, but until then I hope you enjoy the new lucky chair items and the new clothing I recently released!

::::: I have decided for various reasons that I am not going to reinstall the store card system.
If you still have a Tuli store card, you have until FRIDAY JULY 31 to send it to me in a folder with a notecard stating your desired item(s).
The cards can NOT be exchanged for linden dollars.
After July 31 I will no longer fill store card orders.
Thank you for understanding and I apologize for the inconvenience!
On another note, I have put a second lucky chair out in the main store, and put new items in!
Hope you like them =)

And, I almost forgot, members of my VIP update group can come to the main store and get their hands on an exclusive Hope makeup called Star in all tones FREE! (activate the group tag and click on the toadstool!)
Thank you for your support!
