Today (Friday May 20, 2022) Glam Affair has an EvoX skin for Fifty Linden Friday... it is called Flo FLF Basic Line... the demo has 6 skin tones http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Beauty Avatar couture/158/88/31

For example, you can get a 7 Deadly Skins EvoX skin(Tabea) at the May 14 Saturday Sale price of L$70 get it here - requires a LeLutka EvoX head Then, if you go to the eBento event and get the GIFT at the 7 Deadly Skins booth, there is a matching body skin for free get it here you have to join the free eBento group to get this Stuff like this pops up all the time... try the DEMO before you buy to make sure you like it

You said best and newest... so let's do it! Starting from scratch, it's gonna cost in the L$8000 ballpark if you pay full prices. You don't start with skin. You start with head, then shape, head skin, eye color, and body skin. Then fine tune with brows, lashes, hair, skin enhancers (e.g. freckles), and makeup. The newest heads are HD and BOM. I am currently going with LeLutka EvoX (Lilly). There are other comparable heads but LeLutka rules the creator school at present (as evidenced by the last SkinFaire). If you can't edit shapes, learn to edit shapes. I either tweak the shape that comes with the head or buy a shape for that head, then tweak that. Always buy shape based on how the face looks then edit the body shape to your liking. Editing body shape is easy once you figure out the editor. Skin alone does not determine what you will look like... it is always a combo of head, shape, skin, and eyes. Now get skin for your head. Sometimes a shape comes with skin. You buy the head skin first, then match a body skin to it. Matching body skin is easy... its just matching the tone. When you are shopping for head skin and trying demos, make sure you are doing it with the eye color you want, as eye color is huge in determining final look. For skin creators, I like them all but always check out Glam Affair, The Skinnery, 7 Deadly Skins, DeeTaleZ, and Enfer Sombre. It is possible that you can get a great skin on sale. Don't be in a hurry. One more recent development is Velour. They make body skin and makeup and several head skin creators are using their color palette. The picture below is me with a Glam Affair head skin in the Velour Porcelain tone. The body is Maitreya (with petite add on) and a Velour Venus Porcelain/Skinny skin. Good luck!

There are some adorable Summerhouse Gazebos there... the tiny demo model is 3LI but full size is 28LI

hey, how come twitter gets porn and tumblr doesn't... wait, it's cause tumblr listened to the same lawyers that told Linden Lab it couldn't have gacha

I think you are in luck! If you go to just about any shopping event (except those marketing to men), you will find what you are looking for. Check Seraphim every day to see what's new and look thru the web galleries. Some places such as Fameshed X and Fetish Fair will be gold mines. When you see something you like, visit the event for a demo and/or go to the store of the creator.

You might wanna post this in the inworld Bellisseria Events group secondlife:///app/group/0913c244-8878-95ba-c08c-81fc2214b555/about or if this is gonna last a long time, the Parade of Homes

Carrots are coming in nicely this spring... anybody like carrots?
