Bringing out the good stuff in Second Life®: fashion, hot spots, freebies, etc.

I received a skin to sample, today, sent by Ai Baroque, who I’ve been aware of as being an SL photographer. She made a picture that I really admire here. In the message that accompanied the inventory offer, she explained she had briefly opened a shop some time ago and was now back to making skins. And I was pleasantly surprised, I really liked the face ! Starting with the mouth, especially, it has… character, while being soft. And the face, it’s got a sort of a 60′s good girl, clean look to it, pure, sweet, without being too clean or too fresh or overly young (if that will make sense). And it happens to pair wonderfully with Lamb’s newest hairstyle, I think. Now, I’m assuming Ai Baroque is fairly fresh to this, and I noticed this was the only skin line available at her shop. So. There are a few things that bothered me a little, well mainly one thing, and I’m not sure if it’s an actual flaw or if I’m imagining it but something looks funny in the skin tone of the face. It’s most noticeable on the medium tone (pictured here) and the dark tone, but became visible on the light tone as well after some more peering to compare: it concerns the area stretching from slightly above the eyebrows to the upper eyelids and across the nose that appears to be slightly lighter than the rest of the face. It feels as though I came back from a ski vacation and wore a pair of perfectly rectangular shades with a straight browline. I asked a friend and she said she had not noticed, and after I pointed it out, did not think it was very bad. So maybe it’s me. But I did want to show this skin as I loved the face, and also think I will love to wear it again on occasion. If you want to check it out, it’s at Lyriope !
