::::: My main store has a new home on the reopened Cupcakes sim! I'm in the process of redoing all my skins in softer, less saturated skintones and it's proving to be a more challenging endeavor than I had expected because of the sheer amount of textures to be uploaded and applied, not to mention SL's usual hickups, so I'll be adding more faces and tones as I go.

Available now are Bella, Sayuri, Claire and Helena in the first 3 skintones Pearl, Powder, and Petal. A lighter and a darker tone are on my list of things to do, as well as Lolas Tango appliers.
Helena is a new face previously featured in The Dressing Room, and some of you may remember Bella and Sayuri. After the last sim rebuild, they somehow didn't make a comeback. Requests for them kept coming, so I decided to bring them back, though slightly altered.

Included with each purchase are brown (default), blond or light, black and red brows on the skin, dimples version, subtle and boosted cleavage variations on undershirt and tattoo layers, nail concealer on glove layer, 30 lip tattoos (matte and glossy) and a bonus shape.
Free demos are available, so do try before you buy!
For those who ask, I take my vendor pictures in the AnaLu*studio*5 windlight setting.

::::: The Deck is celebrating its first anniversary! I have a limited edition Sayuri makeup (both tones are included) available for FREE at my The Deck location.
Other stores at The Deck are also generously giving away free items and I have heard whispers about even more gifts (not hidden) spread around the sim!
NOTE: ONLY AVAILABLE THIS WEEKEND, MAY 8 AND MAY 9 and only at The Deck.

:: Check the The Deck blog entries The Deck celebrates part 1 and The Deck celebrates part 2 for more info and an overview of most items.
:: SLurl to The Deck

The sim is probably going to be full most of the time, it can't be helped, but don't give up, keep trying, you have all weekend! It will also help with the lag if all of you DETACH any animation override, HUDs, prim attachments, gadgets, and come barefoot and bald wearing a bikini (The Deck IS after all beachy!). Believe me, nobody will be looking at you funny.

::::: Sayuri is available now at the main store as well as 3 custom shapes I made for her.





Please try the free demos in your preferred lighting and wearing your favorite hair! (this goes for all skins and shapes in SL by the way!)

I've added a link to the windlight settings I use to create and photograph all my skins to the sidebar (to the right). I never use facelights, other light sources or prim lashes.
Also, the main store SLurl has been updated to the correct location.

There are many tips and tutorials about changing the windlight settings to make your avatar look the best, or to create special effects without having to do any postwork in an external graphics program.
Most recently, for example, blogger Gogo has posted useful info and links here.
