IT'S ANOTHER MESH...SMH

[Leezu!] has done it once again by creating another beautiful item to add to its ever-growing mesh collection:  Nataly.  This one-shoulder, stripe sweater is available in four colors and in three sizes.  Sexy as it is beautiful, I'm sure you'll want to purchase all four!  As with any mesh item, please purchase a demo before buying the actual product!

AND...each top is 50L; 150L for the pack!  I don't know how long the Nataly sweater will be available at this incredibly low price, but if I were you, I would head immediately to [Leezu!].  I would love to say "...before they're all sold out!" but this is SL; nothing is ever sold out unless it's a limited edition. 
Below is the direct TP.

LOVIN' THE SKIN I'M IN!

A new skin designer has hit the Grid!  Jinx Mahogany, owner of Jinx'd Inc., has just released her first two skins called AZARIA. Available in Tan and Snow skin tones, Jinx has expertly captured the difficulty and artistry of skin making and made it seem effortless.

Both skin tones are available in six makeup colors, each in eight variations (with and without a hair base; freckles; cleavage and freckles; and cleavage, freckles and hair base). I love how detailed and subtle the freckles Jinx has scattered around the nose and eyes area.

Jinx has also generously included with each skin four non-modifiable shapes:  medium, medium thicker, small, and tall.

N-Core vs. Similar

I am a shoe-a-holic. My husband had bought me a pair of N-Core's latest release called Poison. If you don't know what they look like, the picture is below. So, I have been wearing them, switching colors, looking all smexy walking across the grid, when I received a notice from Similar of its new shoe also called Poison (image below).





N-Core Poison









Similar Poison


I immediately opened the notice to see how I could spend my husband's money.  When the texture rezzed, what do you think I found? THE EXACT SAME SHOE!!!!!. I took the liberty to IM Larisa in-world asking her if she worked with N-Core, to which she stated no.  I then asked why did she have the same shoe design and name as N-Core, and she said Nuria/Claire is using her (Larisa) shoe base. She stated more little threats about "two can play this game" until she finally settled down and said it is just a "friendly competition". In my mind, why didn't she just say that in the first place? 

Today, Nuria responded to my previous inquiry regarding what was going on. Apparently, Nuria stated that N-Core was chosen as a nominee for the Avi Choice Awards and won (congrats Nuria/Claire). After her win, she stated she received a note card from Similar (Larisa), who was also selected as a nominee for the award, with threats stating that it will copy the design of N-Core's shoe. 

Here is what the note card stated...


"I want to sincerely congratulate with you for this award you earned, and most of all deserved, I'm really happy you got it as I feel that a big part of me is in this success too, I really feel close to you in this happy moment and I'm sure that if things go on like this, in the near future you'll be able to share the same lovely feeling when we start reproducing your creations, the same way you look like to enjoy doing lately...

best wishes and hugs
Simone"



Upon talking with my partner, Tata, we put on our N-Core Poison shoes and looked at the picture of the Similar's Poison shoe. We found 3 differences: The strap on the back of the heel is not on the N-Core, the heel is different, and of course, the toes are definitely different. Is this still fraud in any kind of way?  To be fair, the Similar Poison shoe comes with various strap options (one of which is already on the Ravenna shoe), including the option of cute chains to fasten the straps.

After being a little bit more nosy, I found out that the images for shoes in Similar ads do not contain an avatar foot; it's made in a 3D rendering program.  Is this a way to entice the customers to buy Similar shoes? I will let you decide.


 More to come!!!!

IT'S MY FIRST TIME. IS IT YOURS?


Welcome to my inaugural blog post.  My goal is to show you how I combine the myriad array of fashion SL has to offer. I hope you like what you see!

I love all animal prints!  Maybe that's because I'm a Leo in real life *shrugs*.  Adding an animal print -- whether it's a pair of shoes, boots, handbag, scarf, jacket, leggings, or top -- to your outfit will always give it that extra oomph that you were looking for.  

And always remember:  less is more.  So, only one animal print item is all that is needed.  Otherwise, your friends will be calling the local zoo to report an animal has escaped and is on the loose!

 Until next time...Smooches!
