This Saturday, Second Life’s First International Skin Fair begins at 1 pm SLT on the Vanity Universe sim, and it lasts until April 5, 2008. In the days leading up to the skin fair, there have been a lot of interesting developments in the skin business.
First, Starley Thereian of Celestial Studios has finally released her line of Vogue winter skins after weeks of dealing with computer and SL bugs. The skins have four different winter looks, including: matte wine lips, a frosty white look, a pale pink look, and deep chocolatey lips. We have heard this may be Starley’s last skin release, but we haven’t been able to confirm this; of course, we hope it’s not true! In the meantime, Starley does plan to put her other seasonal skins back on her sales floor in the near future.
Canimal Zephyr of Canimal has just released her Essence Skins. According to Canimal, each skintone is named after a different feminine quality: Grace, Charm, Mystery, Lust and Charisma. The makeups were named after essences of something else, such as snow, sunset, and poison, just to name a few. Each Essence skin comes with 7 different brow shapes (try them with your other skins, too!), 5 different colored eyes, and directions to change lip and brow colors and add lipgloss.
Fleur used to be called Tete a Pied, but Roslin Petion and CJ Carnot rebranded. In addition, they remodeled their store to look like the Raffles Hotel in Singapore to make shopping easier. They have also started a new Boutique line of skins to compliment their Vivant line. They have already released two skins in this line, the Shoujo and the Parfait. The Shoujo skin is anime inspired and porcelain smooth. The Parfait skin is a girlish, hand-drawn skin. More releases are planned in the Vivant and Boutique lines.
On the first day of the skin fair, Annyka Bekkers will release Blowpop’s Mellie3 skins. These skins will be available only at the fair for the first few weeks, then they will be available at Blowpop’s store. Ms. Bekkers has completely redone her skins from top to toe, not skipping any detail; even the ears have been redone! With each skin purchase, the buyer will get 8 skins: black brows or brown brows, freckles or no freckles, trimmed or bare bikini lines. Of course, the Mellie3 skins will come in Blowpop’s usual range of skintones and several gorgeous makeups.
Finally, we have to note that Minnu Model Skins‘ Generation 3 skins are available in stores. These are the skins preferred by many of Second Life’s models for their classic high cheekbones and glamorous makeups. While the cheekbones are still there, the lips and brows are a touch softer, and the body has been completely redone with many upgrades, including an improved cleavage. Unlike many other skin designers, Minnu Palen doesn’t do the same makeups for each skin tone, preferring to tailor her makeup choices to what looks best on each skin tone.
Be sure to check out releases by all of our featured designers at the skin fair coming this weekend!
