::::: When I retired the old S5 skin line, I promised they would be back, all polished up and updated. A few friends are test driving it right now, and I am very pleased with how they photograph! I always try to get a right balance between looking nice inworld as well as in postworked photographs. And I am not a huge fan of the overly realistic looking skins (I tried, but it's not my thing) so these will again have the smooth, sweet look that you are used to from me.

Of course, if you are creative with shape making, you can get all sorts of looks from them, from the innocent girl look to a more adult character.
I like making shapes, I've always made my own, but my time is too limited to develop shapes for sale in my store, so I have invited an experienced shape maker to do that, Alexxis Laszlo.
Right now, she has shapes available in my main store for the current skin lines, and I must say, they look very hot! (you can find them left of the center tree, on the big column)
So if you like my skins, but don't really know how to get the best out of them, take a look at her shapes! There are free demos, and they are modifiable so you can always change things a bit more to your personal liking.

Since I have started naming my skins, instead of using a serial number, the new and improved S5 v2 needs a name! To this end I thought it would be cool to issue a competition to my update group. They have received a package with 4 new S5 v2 skins, and are challenged to create a photo wearing one of the skins. The deadline is december 13, and the winner will be announced on sunday december 14, winning not only the job of naming the skin line, but also a permanent spot for the photo in my main store, all makeups in the tone of choice and a 10,000 linden dollar cash prize. Second and Third place will also receive a prize and a temporary spotlight in the store.
If you are not a member of the update group, but want to participate, you can join the group by paying a 250 linden dollar fee, and look up the competition package in the notice tab in the group window.
I have this fee, to assure that the free items I give out, will go to the people who stick around and really enjoy what I make. This might sound overly dramatic, but I am not the only one to do this, and you will have your money's worth back and much more, in no time at all, assuming of course you stay in =) I send previews and group only skins, clothes and/or shoes regularly.
Of course I also have freebies in store for everyone, not only the group, and lucky chair items.

My S5 v2 test drivers have already posted pictures of themselves wearing the skins:











Thank you, ladies =D
