2009-07-07T13:19:00.000-07:00

We'd like to appologize to everybody who's following our blog for the long gaps and missing updates - still having problems with blogger/firefox and uploading of pictures fails about 95% of times so still trying to find out what exactly causes that.. Anyhow.. we've finished the new simbuild in June and the exhibition from our photocontest is still in place - you'll find it at the uppper floor of the theater, and here another congrats to our both final winners:

Allessa Volare's "Birdcage" and Kimberly Mirabeaux "Pin me up"

Congratulations again to the both of you!

!dM deviousSkin "Koi" and "BeijingFlower"

2009-05-04T02:47:00.001-07:00

.!dM "Koi" - makeups from left to right: coralReef Captivate, goldFish Allure, deepOcean Entice

It's spring! And to match up with the returning colors outside and the blossoms slowly taking over the trees, we start out Asian! All in the sense of Chinese PekingOpera and KoiFish, two cheerfully colored skinlines found their way into our mainstore. Both come in 6 colors, "BeijingFlower" with 2 shades each makeup, "Koi" even 3 shades each: Entice, Allure, Captivate.

All skins with and without little asian tattoo on the back of the neck included. Grab demo!

So here a little overview of what's in each color pack:

• !dM skin (copy/no modify/no transfer) in the color(s) you have purchased. Each color comes in different shades. "BeijingFlower" includes a stronger shaded 'Lotus' eyemakeup, and a softer 'Blossom' version.
"Koi" includes 3 different color shades, "Entice" being the softest with subtle little darker spots, "Allure" being a strong uni-colored eyeshadow and "Captivate" is the 'true koi' with both darker colored and black spots.
All shades have a little asian tatoo symbol on the back of the neck, and come as well with a plain skin without these tatoos in each pack (this plain skin is not included in the DEMOS)

• Both allColor packs include a bonus hair!! "Koi" comes with !dM CherryBlossom "TwoTails" in 3 versions (long, medium, short), "BeijingFlower" includes !dM CherryBlossom "PonyTail" as well in long, medium and short. Please DO read the information on the resize-scripts and how you delete the scripts out after adjusting! (this is important to help with the lag)

• !dM deviousEyelashes (copy/mod/no transfer)
Two pairs to choose between facial attachment point 'nose' or 'mouth', or wear both if you feel dramatic *winks* - it's mod so you can match it up with your eyeshape, and allows you to tint it in any color you like. Unless you're good in building, we suggest to make a backup copy before modifying it.

• !dM deviousSkins eyebrow shape (copy/mod/no transfer)
Make sure you save your current hairbase before attaching this new one, because it will alter your eyebrow settings to match up with your new skin.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
-------------------
These skins are set with all sliders to zero, so there won't be any problems with the latest viewer 1.23 -
If you DO have problems with other skins since the last viewer update to 1.23, please have a look at the JIRA and cast your vote! (you log in to JIRA with your SL login information) - copy/paste the following address in your browser:

(*chanimations - FetishCabaret SET 14 "CabaretBeauty"

2009-04-21T09:12:00.000-07:00

•
======
-CabaretBeauty-
Fetish Cabaret SET 14
======
•

-CabaretBeauty- takes us behind the scene and stage curtains - with lots of love for details and a few secrets for picturetaking! The set contains photography props and poses with the following properties:

5 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* cabaretBeauty (headMove)
• (* cabaretBeauty (gettingReady)
• (* cabaretBeauty (kneelingOver)
• (* cabaretBeauty (nailsDrying)
• (* cabaretBeauty (goesWild)

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.

POSES-SPECIAL:
------------------
No more poseballs - sit on the beauty chair or dresser themselves. On first sit a menu pops up allowing you to pick which pose you'd like. After that, you only click the chair/dresser (depending on which you are sitting of course) again, and you'll receive the menu to change between the poses.

POSE-ADJUSTMENT:
---------------------
An easy and intuitively to use adjustment-menu allows you to move the positioning of your avartar - height, rotation, everything! Speak /1a in open channel for the adjustment menu. 'Postion' will allow you to move your avartar more forward, backwards, left or right (X and Y axis) and of course up and down (Z axis), if needed 'Rotation' menu gives you more options.

And that's all YOU have to remember, from there on the script does the work and remembers the avartar custom settings of the 50 most frequent users who adjusted their positions as long as chair and dresser stay rezzed and the scripts are not reset. Unfortunately it cannot keep the positions when picked up back to inventory and will rez back on default settings - but since the adjustment is easy and quick, this shouldn't be a problem *grins*.

PROPS (detailed info to each after listing):
----------------------------------------------
• (*FetishCabaret BeautyDresser (no modify/no transfer) - 23 PRIMS
• (*FetishCabaret BeautyChair (no mod/no copy) - 3 PRIMS

Attachments:
• (* BeautyLipstick (no mod/no copy)
• (* BeautyBrush (no mod/no copy)
• (* BeautyMirror (no mod/no copy)
• (* BeautyMask (no mod/no copy)

The chair and dresser come in an unlinked group when rezzed - so show as one combined object in your inventory. This allows you to move the chair around freely or use either of both props alone. If you want to move/rotate them together, make sure you have both selected in edit mode, this will save you time of re-adjusting! You do this by keeping [Shift] key pressed, then right-click choose 'edit' on the dresser, and (with still pressed shift key) right-click choose 'edit' on the chair. When both are highlighted with the blue/yellow lines, you can let go of [shift] and everything moves as a group now. - in worst case, re-rezz from inventory to go back to the original alignment.

As well, keep in mind the /1a chat command to adjust your avatar position up and downwards!

The brush and mirror go with the 'gettingReady' pose - if you click on the mirror, it will function as a soft facelight. (only if 'nearby local lights' are enabled in preferences!)

The (*BeautyLipstick can be used as random accessory or together with the 'kneelingOver' pose in the chair... and it has one specialty: on touch, you get a color menu to pick which color you'd like it to be - that way you have a color somewhat similar to your skin's lipstick color.

The (* BeautyMask is my little 'extra surprise' for you *smirks*.

All attachments come with 'transfer' setting so you can pass them to your model - or if you're unsure they'll give them back to you, rezz them instead and position them.

PHOTOGRAPHY-EXTRA:
------------------------
The 'special trick' for this set - I added you a little gimmick that allows you to fairly easily create a mirror reflection when using graphic programms for picture post-processing. To make the steps required for creating a reflection easy on you, the mirror glass has a touch script included that will set the BACK of it to transparent or half-transparent (with reflection stripes) on click. As well one click position will set the FRONT to a greenScreen or blueScreen. I posted an image-example as well as a mini-tutorial how to recreate the effects yourself on our blog and my flickr stream!

(please copy into your browser - or hit the 'Tutorial?' button on the dresser and it will speak the link to you in open chat so you can click through SL)

(as with all pictures, image rights reserved!)

And as with everything scripted: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

That's all you need to know, so from here on.... have fun in front of the scenes, behind the scenes, after the scenes.... and any time.

(*chanimations tutorial - POST-PROCESSING 'Mirror Reflection'

2009-04-21T06:11:00.000-07:00

.

Above is the final image which we'd like to create - and in the following comes how you do it!

Please click the image to see it in large for all the texts - and here a few added extra tricks!

1. Know what you're doing
If you go into your bathroom, bedroom, or any other mirror you have at home (even the surface of your TV will do for the basic understanding) - check what you actually SEE in the mirror depending on which angle you look at it.

Example:
if you're straight up in front of it, on the same level looking inside: you see yourself straight upfront from the same hight level in the mirror as well.
If you're sitting on the ground looking up into it... you see the higher ends of the walls if not even the ceiling. (imagine how your view through the glass would be from the backside: you'd be sitting on the ground as well looking up at that ceiling, right?)

If you make yourself aware of what angle will be seen, your images will turn out MUCH more real appearing than if you just take a random angle!

2. It's a mirror - flip your shot through the framing help horizontally!

Even if it would look okay otherwise - everybody knows a mirror in real life - any will notice "something is wrong" if you forget the flipping.

3. Blur/Desaturate the reflection a little

True, in RL it has the same colors - but with the 3D the eye can see, it is easy to understand that it's a mirror. In a flat image, you need to be a little more helpful to the watching eye to show 'distance' to it. gentle blurring and desaturating is one way to do it.

I'll search you some wiki links on how reflections work and post them here once I found them ;-)

(*chanimations: FetishCabaret SET 10 - "ShowDiva"

2009-04-13T06:18:00.000-07:00

•
======
-ShowDiva-
***MULTICOLOR***
Fetish Cabaret SET 10
======
•

-ShowDiva- is available in different color packs (corresponding to those colors of the 'ShowGirl' set) and a special color edition in peacock feathers (those are NOT included in the MultiColor pack!) and contains photography props and poses with the following properties:

4 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* FeatherBoa(1) open
• (* FeatherBoa(2) open (HeadTilted)
• (* FeatherBoa(3) presentLeft
• (* FeatherBoa(4) presentRight

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and in a multiPoseball which responds to /1 show and /1 hide and allows to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.

PROPS (no copy/no modify/transfer):
----------------------------------------------
• 4 different shaped feather boas, corresponding to the poses of the set. They come in the color of the pack you chose. (Available color-packs are Black, White, Red, Pink, Blue and one Multipack that contains all fan colors)
• (* Cigarette Holder **BLACK/SILVER**

The feathers are digitally illustrated - so no fuzzy halos or edges and only 100% feather goodness ;-) The boas come with 'transfer' setting so you can pass them to the model - or if you're unsure they'll give them back to you, rezz them instead and position them. (Each has about 184 - 193 prims so if that's the route you're going, make sure to free up some prims beforehand)

The FeatherBoa comes as well with an option to turn fullbright on/off - for some lightsettings it is better to work with fullbright (it also reduces the alpha transparency issue SL has), while for other scenarios (especially nightsetting) it might be too much to have everything dark but one glowing FeatherBoa - this option should help you adjust to your surrounding perfectly :-) You either click the boa, or if camera positioning wouldn't allow you use chatcommands:
/100 FBon
/100 FBoff

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: The above described option to toggle between fullbright on/off is not included in the black boa. Why? Simple: the dark textures don't require it for the transparency and black on fullbright simply looks weird cause it stays black, but the greys are over-the-top-too-much bright. Hence why I decided to save you all from unneeded scripts. ;-)

And as with everything scripted: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

That's all you need to know, so from here on.... have fun and keep in mind: "You are the Show!"

======
-SoftStings-
Fetish Cabaret SET 9
======
•

Most likely the most fetish you can get:
-SoftStings- set contains photography props and poses with the following properties:

2 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* kneel_SafetyPins
• (* kneel_Pins (armStretched)

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and in a multiPoseball which responds to /1 show and /1 hide and allows to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.

PROPS (no mod/no copy):
----------------------------
• (* FetishCabaret safety-pins w/ satin ribbons - arm right
• (* FetishCabaret safety-pins - arm left
• (* FetishCabaret safety-pins back (spine)
• (* FetishCabaret safety-pins back (chest)
• (* FetishCabaret safety-pins (mouth)
• (* FetishCabaret - Long Latex Gloves
• (* FetishCabaret - SafetyPin marks

The props come with 'transfer' setting so you can pass them to the model - or if you're unsure they'll give them back to you, rezz them instead and position them. For the back, I have included one a version with chest as attachment point for those who are collared and wear it on spine - and the same pin-ties with spine as attachment point who wear jewellry pieces or collars vice versa.

Please take note, due to the differences in avartars and sizes, you might need more or less adjustings to bring the ties between the arms in the right position - in most cases it is enough to make the pins smaller or bigger though and move their positioning a little on the avartar. Unfortunately there is no universal solution for this. - The size of the safety-pins can be adjusted by touch menu - please read included notecard for information regarding the resize script!

And as with all scripts: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

Have fun playing and snapping and keep in mind:
"Pain's not for everybody - can't have the Show stop though!" *winks*

----------------------------
• (* FetishCabaret Spiked Paddle **Black/Silver** - left hand
• (* FetishCabaret Spiked Paddle **Black/Silver** - right hand

The paddles come with 'transfer' setting so you can pass them to the model - or if you're unsure they'll give them back to you, rezz them instead and position them.

Aside from that, this set is easy and there's not much more to know.
If the poseball doesn't toggle between the poses: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

Have fun playing and snapping and keep in mind:
"The Show will also go on with JUUUUST a little bit of extra pain!"

-The TightRopes-
Vintage Circus Set

-The TightRopes- is another performance set of the (*chanimations Vintage Circus series. It contains photography props and poses with the following properties:

4 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* tightRopes,
• (* tightRopes_Joy,
• (* tightRopes_BalanceForward,
• (* tightRopes_laying

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and in a multiPoseball which responds to /1 show and /1 hide and allows to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.

PROPS:
--------
• (*chanimations - Tight Ropes (no mod/no transfer),
• (*chanimations - Lace Parasol (no mod/ no copy)

This time not much to say.... The Parasol comes with transfer settings so you can pass it as well to your model. Or if you're unsure they'll give it back, rezz it instead and position it.

The TightRopes and poseballs come in an unlinked group when rezzed - so show as one combined object in your inventory. This is to make it easier for you when adjusting positions of your artist on the ropes. Make sure you have all two components selected in edit mode when you need to move/rotate them in a group - this will save you time of re-adjusting! You do this by keeping [Shift] key pressed while you select the three items in edit menu.

If the poseball doesn't toggle as it should - make sure you're in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

For a successful Show!

(*chanimations: VintageCircus "The Trapez"

2009-04-13T05:55:00.000-07:00

"Ladies and Gentlemen - The Show begins..... "

•
======
-The Trapez-
Vintage Circus Set
======
•

-The Trapez- is contains photography props and poses with the following properties:

4 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* trapez,
• (* trapez_hanging/(* trapez_hanging [bit lower],
• (* trapez_layingOverBack,
• (* trapez_layingStomach

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and a multiPoseball which responds to /1 show and /1 hide and allows to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.

The hanging pose is doubled to offer a good 'non floating' option for different avartar sizes, but is otherwise the same.

PROPS:
--------
• (* Trapez (5m rope) (no mod/no copy/no transfer),
• (* Trapez (10m rope) (no mod/no copy/no transfer),
• (* Trapez (static) (no mod/no transfer)

This time it's a bit difficult with the rights. So here a short explaination:
The Trapez is included in 3 versions - two animated, that will swing on click, with different rope length; and one that's static since it might be far easier to do pictures for you that way instead of trying to catch the swinging model with your camera. *chuckles*

Anyhow... the swing-script in the trapez is 'no copy' - while all my poses as usual are 'no transfer'. So that's why you have a 'no copy/no transfer' item in the end. So make sure you pick up your trapez again when you use it in a sim for pictures!

And as with everything scripted: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

For a successful Show!

-The Human CannonBall-
Vintage Circus Set
======
•

-The Human CannonBall- is a circus performance which was first shown in 1877 - and now finds its way straight to the grid. *smirks* This set tells another little Vintage Circus Story. It contains photography props and poses with the following properties:

4 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* cannon_ignitiate,
• (* cannon_ignitiate (crouch),
• (* cannonBall,
• (* cannonBall_Fly

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and in 2 multiPoseball which respond to /1 show and /1 hide and allow to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.

PROPS:
--------
• (* The Cannon (no mod/no transfer),
• (*chanimations - Ignitiate? (no mod/ no copy)

Both the Cannon and the Ignitiate-torch are particle-scripted on touch. So you can ignitiate whatever needs to be on fire in your picture story ;-) - The torch comes with transfer settings so you can pass it as well to your model. Or if you're unsure they'll give it back, rezz it instead and position it.

The Cannon and two poseballs come in an unlinked group when rezzed - so show as one combined object in your inventory. This is to make it easier for you when adjusting positions of either the 'CannonBall' or the one lighting the cannon. Make sure you have all three components selected in edit mode when you need to move them in a group - this will save you time of re-adjusting! You do this by keeping [Shift] key pressed while you select the three items in edit menu.

"Discover your true Power....."

•
======
-The Sourceress-
FireRitual
======
•

-The Sourceress- contains photography props and poses (or maybe it's even gonna become part of the ritual room for your RP character!) with the following properties:

3 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* energyFight,
• (* magicKneeling,
• (* magicKneeling (fist)

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements, the second version of the magicKneeling is included so you can pick and choose if rather soft evocation or a more dramatic expression.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and in a multiPoseball which responds to /1 show and /1 hide and allows to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.

PROPS (detailed info to each after listing):
----------------------------------------------
• (* Sourceress "FireRitual" (no mod/no transfer)
• (* FireSkull (full) - left hand (no mod/no copy)
• (* FireSpell - right hand (no mod/no copy)

The Poseball comes in an unlinked group with the Sourceress FireRitual pentagram - so it shows as one combined object in your inventory. This is to make it easier for you when adjusting or rotating position of yourself or the model. Just make sure you have both components selected in edit mode when you intent to move it together!

The floor-pentagram is surrounded by sculpted skulls and candles and, if your light surrounding requires it, allows to turn on/off glow and lighting effects simply by clicking it. The candles are created with digitally drawn particle flames - no transparency halos or unreal-looking fire but exactly what you'd expect to see!

The hand-attachments come with 'transfer' setting so you can pass them to the model - or if you're unsure they'll give it back, rezz it instead and position it.

Depending on your personal taste or light surrounding, you can touch the skull to give some extra 'fire'. Touching it again will turn light and glow off. As well it reacts on /1 show skull and /1 hide skull to offer you more variety in the picture. Touch is as well active on the FireSpell for the other hand - only there's nothing to hide but some neat effects to explore! (It does require for at least 'basic shaders' and 'nearby local lights' being enabled in preferences - 'at least' cause Windlight is obviously more picture taking fun ;-) )

Last but not least as with everything scripted: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

That's all you need to know, so from here on.... have fun!

You'll find us at Abraham/120/160/30 if you are interested in single poses only or to preview the poses on your avartar!

Summon and Spell

-The Sourceress- contains photography props and poses (or maybe it's even gonna become part of the ritual room for your RP character!) with the following properties:

2 POSES (no mod/no transfer):
--------------------------------
• (* Sourceress,
• (* WaterMagic (spreadFingers)

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements. (The pack includes the poses as single animations and of course used in the poseballs of the Spell)

PROPS (detailed info to each after listing):
----------------------------------------------
• (*chanimations Sourceress Spell (no mod/no transfer)
• (* Sourceress particles for both hands (no mod/no copy)

The Poseball reacts on /1 show and /1 hide, and contains both poses - you toggle between them with pageUp/pageDown. It comes in an unlinked group with the Sourceress Spell - so it shows as one combined object in your inventory. This is to make it easier for you when adjusting or rotating position of yourself or the model. Just make sure you have both components selected in edit mode when you intent to move it together!

The Spell offers you a few options - you can use it plain as floor-pentagram surrounded by skulls and candles (as the small picture on the poster shows), or you can add some extra-magic via chat command:

/1 show sphere
/1 hide sphere
(that's the upper picture on the poster!)

and
/1 show beams
/1 hide beams

If your light surrounding requires it, you can turn glow/fullbright/light of the floor-pentagram on and off by clicking it.

And as with everything scripted: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

That's all you need to know, so from here on.... have fun!

7 POSES (no mod/no transfer):

• (* HorseFront_bondage

All POSES are static and come with 'copy' rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements.

The pack includes the poses as single animations and in a multiPoseball which responds to /1 show and /1 hide and allows to toggle the poses by using the pageUp/pageDown keys.

PROPS (detailed info to each after listing):

(98 for the horse, 1 for the poseball and 22 for the saddle)

(64 for the horse, 1 for the poseball and 7 for the saddle)
• Two FetishCabaret wrist cuffs w/ lock (decorative only and unscripted!)
(no copy, no modify)

The poseball comes as solo and in an unlinked group with the CarouselHorse and the saddle - so it shows as one combined object in your inventory. This is to make it easier for you when adjusting or rotating position of yourself or the model, and as well to allow for pictures without a saddle, combination of the low-prim saddle with the high-prim horse and so on... Just make sure you have all three components selected in edit mode when you intent to move it together in a group! In worst case - rezz it back out from inventory, there it comes aligned again as it should be. :-)

By clicking the torso of the Horse, you get a menu allowing you to chose between regular wood, bleached white or black. Along with that depending on your personal taste or what type of picture you'd like to take, you can hide the feathers of the horse with open chat command:
/1 hide feathers
/1 show feathers

The cuffs come with 'transfer' setting so you can pass them to the model - or if you're unsure they'll give it back, rezz them instead and position them.

And as with everything scripted: Make sure you are in a sim that allows for scripts to run!

That's all you need to know, so from here on.... have fun and keep in mind:
"The Show must go on!"

!dM Exhibition: "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Seven Virtues" by Elise Capalini

2009-03-14T04:47:00.001-07:00

We're happy to announce our current exhibition at deviousMind's home sim:

"The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Seven Virtues"
by Elise Capalini

It was a rather spontaneous decision - but one well worth it! Elise's "Seven Deadly Sins" held me captivated in January already when I didn't even know yet there would be a 'part 2' at a later point. The final idea to exhibit her artwork was born with the fact that after the finishing of our storebuildings, we suddenly had an empty basement to fill - and as poses aren't made that fast, the thought of an exhibition was near. How near though showed when Elise passed one of her newest pictures to the (*chanimations flickr group - "Restraint" is one of 14 stunning images of her Sins & Virtues project, and the way she visualized it made me smirk and well... in a way a bit proud as it featured part of my 'CarouselHorse' and 'Suspended' of the FetishCabaret series. Anyhow, from there the connections to why it MUST be displayed in our sim became quickly apparent... Looking back on her previous 7 Deadly Sins, which she had finished already in January 2009, now the amazing 7 Virtues - it so called for the 'black' and 'white' of our two newest store builds of 'light' and 'darkness' and well... all the empty space. Or better, the empty space called for Elise! *chuckles*

Here's what she tells us about the project and exhibition:

"I first had the idea to do a "wrath" photo a few months back...I'm not entirely sure where the idea came from, only that I do spend a lot of time in my roleplay contemplating good and evil...sins and virtues. From there, it was an easy step to complete the sins.

The virtues...they took longer! A friend suggested it was because I wasn't very well acquainted with them, whereas the sins I knew pretty well.

Thus, this photo series was born. My sincere thanks to Chandra and Lucca for hosting this exhibit... my "restraint" photo would not have been possible without Chandra's amazing props.

If you would like to buy any of the images, feel free to IM me in-world and we can go from there.

Enjoy!"

The fans come with 'transfer' setting so you can pass them to the model - or if you're unsure they'll give them back to you, rezz them instead and position them.
(Unless you have deleted the re-size scripts in the fans, you might want to consider passing the explaination of the functions as well to them to avoid any accidential clicks by them!)

Finally available and open: deviousSkin!

It took a while of building and terraforming and building again and texturing - but finally the store is set up and the first 5 skintones of "Tally" skinline are out in the shelves and for sale! 3 makeup lines dominate this digitally illustrated skin so far, "Natural" for your fresh and natural looks, "Nightout" for the glamorous appearance styles, and "Vogue" for all which firmly believe 'dramatic' isn't enough. And you can be curious for more in the future - promise!

Tally "latina" Blackberry Nightout and Tally "fairRose" Vamp Nightout

Props used: Feather Fans of (*chanimations "ShowGirl" Multicolor set
Poses: (*chanimations, yet to be released - but it's gonna be a fun FetishCabaret set! *smirks*

What makes this skin special?

Soft but clear skinshadings, no overdone highlights, and no patched together photographs - patiently illustrated body details - and so far everybody says they love the lips! *winks*

At this point, a majorly huge thanks to our 'deviousGuineaPigs' beta-testers *winks* Faith, Nathalia, Tallulah, Vivienne, Coralie, Artika, Karigan, Elise and Krasa - all your patience and detailed feedbacks were highly appreciated and stay unforgotten - they are part of this skin now :-) A second thanks goes to Vivienne for jumping in that on-short-notice to shoot the above storeposter with me this morning! *hugs lots*

Tally "golden" FallLeaves Vogue
Pose: (*chanimations, (* kneel_opened (fists)
Outfit: U-Sha Fantasie brown by Husky GFX

Why "Tally"?

The answer is simple - I wanted to name it after one if not THE longest of my SL-friends - she bought me my first skin back then when I was a broke newb and still convinced the ....erm.... linden skin makes my av look 'beautiful'. *laughs still and bangs head* - but I am sure we all remember those days back then when we started SL... when we first found out there is primhair... *laughs* and well... hadn't run into a skin-store yet. - Anyhow... so "Tally" seemed to be the appropriate name for my first own skinline! And in that spirit, I am currently getting a newbie starter pack together that will be available for avartars younger than 30 days in our mainstore - keeping you updated on that one!
