GrapeEscape by Atomic @ The Chapter Four

I can't wait for Ivy to release the full skinline {Song} but in the meantime she sure knows how to tease us. The {Song} skin in GrapeEscape is available at THE CHAPTER FOUR in the 2 for 1 room so you get 2 skintones for the price of one. Every pack includes 4 different brows and a no brows option, Loud Mouth applier and 2 additional lipsticks with Loud Mouth option. The eyes have a soft grape color under them. This made me wanna do a Kawaii kinda look cause it just fits into the category cute skins. 

CYNFUL has a new release out for THE SWAG FAIR 2 and Cyn and Promise did another amazing job on the texturing and the HUD options but also are they always thinking about the curvy ladies out there as well. The Dime sweatpants comes in 5 standard sizes and 5 curvy sizes for the girls with some more booty. To see all the available options check Cyn's Flickr.

Thanks to Berta Avro from Severed Garden I got to know this store called AYASHI. They make cute anim // kawaii // manga clothing and hairs. I grabbed some cute hairs at the mainstore (which has a beautiful garden) and then hopped on over to a current event they are in, THE BLACK DOT PROJECT. This event runs from 25th July till 13th August. The Kimiko hair is exclusively available at this event and is marked down 15% from it's initial price. Make sure to go try out a demo!! There hair textures are simply breathtaking and I love the black a lots, it's so shiny ❥ Another great find is this new skin from PUMEC, Ensya. The eyes and lips are so pretty. And the skin is half the price of what most skin makers ask and on top of that ALL appliers are included in one HUD. So no extra appliers to purchase and only one HUD for all appliers (incl. slink visage). The only applier to purchase separately is the one for TheShops Mesh Head.

Black & White Portrait Challenge

 

Every Monday I look forward to StrawberrySighns Famous Memes and I was happy when she decided to do a picture meme. As I am not much of a writer I knew this was going to be more something for me. I never did any black and white pictures before and I felt a bit lost when it came to taking away the colors. You can simply click the black & white button in PS but I found it was not to my satisfaction and tweaked a bit with the options but I had to give in, PS knew better then me LOL So, if anyone knows a good tutorial on how to do perfect black & white pictures please leave me a link in comments I would most appreciate.

Even while not knowing how to work with the black & whites I prefer the B&W version of the portrait more. Which one do you prefer?

Meme Instructions: Share a black & white portrait (head shot) of your Second Life avatar. You can post a raw shot or process the image as much as you like. Don’t forget to share it in the Blog Memes flickr group.

Here the portrait in color :
