comme il faut

This is an old freebie from Bossa Nova - I’ve decided to include it on my Hair Fair gift box, that’s up for grabs at my booth on the orange sim. And I’ll tell you why:

On those times where we’re all haunted by the lag, this, my friends, is a real crime of fashion. Srsly. What’s the point of having such a huge ARC if everyone will see you gray? Your shoes didn’t even rez for me, I can only see your textures because I’ve focused long enough to take the picture.

Honestly, I’ve been walking around the fair very bald and dressed like shit, because, c’mon, nobody will pay attention to me with all that yummy hair to look at. But I’ve decided to accept Ach’s challenge and try to do my best with no prims.

(skin by Chai, suit and necklace by Paper Couture, mani and pedi by The Body Politik, noob hair)

Just another top for the BLOCS collection. Six colors avaliable, all layers, only 75L. Visit Comme il Faut today!

All of them were drawn on the very same templates. Only the color differs, and details like eye makeup or glossy-matte lips. The freebie ones, except for the wine makeup, were “rejected” and given away as gifts just because I thought they were’t “wearable” enough. The wine makeup, actually, was made on the last minute *just* for the hunt, because I thought people would want something more basic and easier to match to their outfits.

These skins are not meant to give a realistic look, I never intended that (first, because I love hand drawn skins, and second, because the market for realistic skins is already oversaturated, I wouldn’t risk entering it). Lips are made to give a fuller, rounder look (just like Lovey’s or the Paon line from Vivant/Fleur). They may not work on every avatar, specially if you already overdo the fullness sliders. A little adjusting could make it work, I always adjust my mouth sliders when trying on a new skin. I’ve even included my own shape for reference inside the complete skin package.

These are shown with the prim eyelashes included on the (non freebie) package. I don’t like the look of drawn on eyelashes, and linden lashes just plain suck, so I keep my slider set to zero. I’m assuming most female avatars wear prim lashes and already have their favorite (I, personally, love the ones from Cake, edited to be on top only), but anyway I’ve included a pair, already fitted to the included shape.

And, btw, adequate lighting can also do wonders for your appearance. Just sayin’.

So, if don’t mind adding some fun, colorful makeups to your inventory, come join our group and/or stop by the store to have some fun with the hunt, before I change my mind and put it all down to stop the complaining.

I’m really, really sorry, but it seems LL broke some scripts I was counting on, scripts that were tested and were working seamlessly yesterday. I’ve spent all my afternoon and most of the evening trying to fix them. Now it’s super late in my part of the world. I’ve been up since 7 am, I’ll get some rest and then tomorrow I’ll decide what to do.

Believe me, nobody is more frustrated than I am.

If you’re curious about the skin line, I’ve just sent a fatpack to my update group… just search for “comme il faut”, with quotes, on the groups tab. The group is free and open for joining.

Now I need some sleep.

Hello, my gems! Its been a while, isn’t it? How you’ve been doing while I was away? Are you eating your veggies? Exercising everyday? Using condoms? Good, good girls. I’ve been a bit ill last month, but now I’m fully recovered and I’m ready to rock again!

Listen, I have some GREAT news and some AWESOME news. Wanna hear? So, the great news: we’re having a 50% SALE in all RED items, plus 4 brand NEW, ubercool, special, limited editions… and ALL THE HAIR! That’s right, ALL hair is 50% off! That’s only 50L for any pack of hair, w00t! Actually, the sale is on since wednesday night, but after setting it up the interwebs fell down, and I’m only able to blog it now.

The AWESOME news: we’re almost finishing a WHOLE NEW LINE of hair, with brand new textures… AND SKINS! I even have put a dollarbie skin just for my pretties on my update group, just to give you a taste:) (If you aren’t on the group, just click the sale sign at my mainstore). I’m so excited about the new stuffage, I can’t wait! We’ll have a new building to, to accomodate all the new awesomeness. That’s why all the hair is on sale: whith the new textures, I’ll have to raise my prices a bit, cause all color packs will now include 5 colors, but now you have a chance to get all Le Salon hair for only 50L per pack! How awesome is that? “But Moire! When can I have the new stuffage! I can’t wait!” Just a little while, pretties. The sale will be on the mainstore untill  07/12, and then we’ll reopen with all the brand new goodies.
