Jennifer


Jennifer

Well folks meet Jennifer she is the latest shape release at CS Shapes and I love her! Jennifer has been designed with a Brazilian body form in mind, so she is tall, leggy and has fabulous curves in all the right places & as you can see has the perfect pout! Where better to pick up a skin to match the shape than Shine who caters for Brazilian type skins. I've blogged Shines skins before and they're fantastic (p.s there is an mm board & luckychair there too).

If you're not familiar with CS Shapes then you should be because for me Xanthe Audeburgh gets the proportions absolutely perfect and I'm sure you'll agree we've all tried making our own shapes & it's much harder than you would think. CS Shapes has both male & female shapes & there are demos to try out so you can find the perfect you!

 Throughout my whole time in sl I kept the shape I made for myself  on my very first day, until  that is, I picked up Lana at CS Shapes at the surf N skate hunt. What  occurred to me  most about having this new shape is how great other skins looks on it, I'd tried so many skins in the past that didn't seem to suit my shape, REALLY!...sounds odd I know but it's true, so it just goes to show what difference a greatly designed shape makes!

Rat Princess

She was the princess of the rats. Normaly she never went somewhere without her family. They crawled over her coat - which had been made of the corpses of her shortliving friends - and loved to massage her scalp with their tiny paws.

Sometimes their movements made her jump. The tiny snouts tickled her normaly when they whispered into her ears. Silently hissed ideas about food and prosperity. Hints where she might find the next source for clear water. Ideas how she might find a partner.
Running with Rats
The rats had always cared for her. Her parents had to work a lot so they let her alone at home even when she was a few month old. The old and verminous house was filled with rats. Somehow they cared for the neglected baby instead of trying to eat it. They stroked her with their tail and brought her food they stole in the neighbour houses. With the time she was able to communicate with the animals.

She was also able to speak with humans but she often did not know what exactly she should talk with them about. The rats were more easy so she stayed with them. Or more they stayed with her. Crawling over her arms enjoying that they were safe when she was around.

And as the rats had been nicer to her than even her own parents she liked being with them much better than being with the ones of her kind.
rat coat back
When seeing the mi$e coat at Deviant Girls I was not able not to buy it. The design is wonderfully unique with the coat which is covered by albino rats and even looks like it is made of their fur. The coat comes on the jacket layer and of course the most of it is made with prims. The most rats sit on the shoulders and also form the hoodie. It is also possible to wear the coat without the hoodie as it are many rats and not everybody likes those animals. It is nice that the rats are not symetric placed on both arms, this makes them look even more like they would be alive and crawl over the coat. There are also getas with rats available at Deviant Girls but I prefered the combination of tight trousers and highheeled boots with the coat.

In green light

Eliza's body followed the beat. She moved her hips in an energetic movement before spinning around. The few loose streaks of her hair moved around her face and tickled her cheeks. Every body around her supposed that she was just having fun. A lot of fun. But she was working. She was one of the true rangers. Their legend has caused the fashiontrend most people followed at the moment. Corsets, Pants which looked like being made to use them as riding pants and old fashioned pistols. Of course the pistols were not allowed in this club. It was her club she had opened it to find her prey. It was much smarter to let people come to her than to search for them. And it was much more profitable. On the surface Eliza seemed to be like a spoiled brat, rich, the source of scandals and of course the creator of trends.
dancing in green light
She did everything to keep that reputation. Her club was always filled with people and she was in the middle of them. Kind, funny and damn hot. Most of her guests had no clue about her real identity. And her human guests had no clue about the real identy of those sometimes very unique dressed ethereal looking people in the club. Eliza had founded this club which was popular among the humans and the nonhumans to attract those beings who lived in disguise among the humans. Fairies, Elves, Pixies and even now and then an ent. The magical shields she had woven were strong enough to keep the real shape of her magical guests hidden from the humans. She was a dragon wandering around in her human form to punish those who acted against laws which were older than humans were able to imaging. She was one of those who dragged fairies who did not bear anymore to be ruled by Titania back into the fairylands. She spend ages on teaching unwilling pixies to sing and now and then she took care that those of her kin did not spread their hoard everywhere and behaved as greedy dragons should behave. Eliza simply could have killed those beings but there seemed to be less magical beings everyday so she only took care that their dance of the dead followed some rules. Once the true rangers had been hunters but now they were more busy with keeping the prey alive.

The caustic corsets from blue blood are great. They have two lacings at the front and at the bottom they end in a flowerish cut, which reminds on petals. They are available in two colour packs one in which the most parts of the corsets are made of black leather and one in which two different kinds of coloured fabric are used. All of them have the same cut and come on the Jacketlayer. For those who might want to combine the corset with a jacket or a coat there are also extra layers included into the set. Those are still boxed which is smart of the creator as it means less items in the inventory until they are needed. The Noah pants are also from blue blood. They have many details and are as the corsets handmade. They remind me a bit on rinding pants as they have an inlay of an other colour at the inner thights. They are available either made completly of leather with an inlay of leather and the bottom of the flares in an different colour, or with the inlay and bottom of the flares made by using tartan cloth. The trousers also have sculpted leg pieces which are worn on the thights. Those have amazing pretty paterns on them. But it is also possible to wear the trousers without them although I think they look cooler if the leg pieces are worn.

City Runner

Sina stared up to the tower. She had gotten the task to climb on it in the morning. Now it was the right time. Some time ago she had found a small advertisement in the newspaper her parents read. The text was mysterious. It said "Become a city runner. Help saveing New Badenbaden from the black knights." Sina lived in New Badenbaden and she loved the town. Some things were not really the best there but it was the city she lived her whole life in so she was attached to the town. She had no clue what a city runner might be also not who the black knights were. But she was bored and curious. So she wrote an application and placed it under a barrel near the bridge. This had been demanded in the ad and it had been which caused mainly her desicion to aply.
Lightning in the city
A week later she got the first instruction letter. She found it in a magazine she bought. Sina was the only person who read this magazine. Sina had seen "Musical saw - Past, Present and Future" in a kiosk when she visited her aunt. She did not play a singing saw but the magazine was intresting. In her opinion most of the stories were invented. She did not believe that the first singing saw had been played by a maya princess, but the stories made her laugh so she ordered the magazin in a kiosk near the house she lived with her parents.
Lightning running on metal
After she had aplied to become a city runner she always found a letter with tasks in the magazin. Sometimes she was ordered to hide something at a special place. At other times she had to take notes about her classmates, teachers or neighbours. But she liked the ones which were like the one she got in the morning best. Those letters instructed her how to get to different points in the city. At the beginning it had been exhausting for her to climb onto towers and to balance over steel beams but after a year of training it was like a relaxing walk for her to get onto the roof of the tower.
Lighting looking over the city
The Lightning avatar is one of the gifts in the on going hunt at 1st act. Lightning is a Final Fantasy character and the similarity of this avatar to the gamecharacter is amazing. The avatar comes with skin, shape, eyes, hair and of course all the clothing. The primparts are mod so it is possible to make them fit an other avatar if you do not like to use the complete one. The quality of the complete avatar is stunning and its great that it is an hunt gift. The avatar is of course great for roleplay.
To take part in the hunt you have to teleport to the 1st act store. In the middle of it you see four cutouts of avatars. All those avatars could be won in the on going hunt. To start hunting touch the avatar you like to get. You will receive a hud. After wearing it click on the shards on it to get the hunt hints. The hints wihttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifll also tell you in which area you should search for the shards which are also the hunt items. The shards are not visible but if you click on the right object the shard appears and you collect it by touching it. The hunt is fun as the hints are all easy to understand. If taking part in it, it might be a good idea to wear as few scripts as possible and to have low avatar rendering costs. I made the hunt yesterday together with Paco from 22769 and the sim was really crowded. But the huntgifts are definitly worth to stand the lag.

In Which Sian Travels

Artefact 3


I seem to be standing on a geometric structure arranged around some sort of long-dead tree. There are no doors or windows. It was left here, presumably, by some intelligent agency. Readings indicate it is between twelve and seventeen million years old.

Artefact 2

There is no animal life on the planet now beyond the plankton level.

The weather is clement. The sea is utterly tranquil. It's beautiful. I could stay here forever.

- Last transmission of RSF Exploratrix FLiS27

Outfit: [Bare Rose] Cyber Diver
Gauntlets: [Bare Rose] Night Arms Lady
Shoes: [Graves] G102 Alpha Boots (just the prims, retextured)
Earphones, tattoos: Sian's own

[ashton penn?]

Ashton, the new group-freebie from -Belleza-, is a face that could be seen quite often on the feeds during the past days - nonetheless, I couldn't help but to wonder who he reminded me of once I slipped into the skin. After a good while, and after deciding on a proper haircut, I had an epiphany: Ashton had a touch of younger Sean Penn!

[ashton]

The more mature, but not 'old' looking skin comes in 5 skin tones (tan, deep tan, medium, pale and sk), and each of them either with hairbase, bald, with chesthair or without. Please keep in mind that the group has a joining fee!

Also free: the stunning and vibrant "Summer Breeze"-eyes from Poetic Colors and VITAMEN's latest gift for June, a tight-sitting pair of boxer briefs in black which are certainly a good basic and belong into every man's underwear drawer.
