She is water.  Powerful enough to drown you.  Soft enough to cleanse you.  Deep enough to save you. ~ Adrian Michael

I want to take a moment and thank Shantia Soulstar of Amara Beauty for the lovely skins she creates.  In my 7 1/2 years in Second Life, I have worn only three skin designers.  The first skin was worn for a year and the second for three years.  Then mesh bodies came along and I finally caved and joined the mesh revolution.  Unfortunately, the skin designer I was wearing at the time was not making skins for Maitreya and I had to look elsewhere.

I was so happy to have found Shantia at Skin Fair 2015.  Her store was then known as Zoul Creations.  Della was the first skin I bought, then Kristy.  I moved on to Gabriela and then when Bento heads came out in 2017 I wore Sandra for a time then finally settled on my current skin, Rebecca.  Shantia has a variety of lovely skin tones, and the darker tones work well for the Native American look I have tried to cultivate so very carefully.  She is also a master at creating the most beautiful eyebrows I have ever seen.  Can you tell I am a fangirl?  Just try one of her skins.  You’ll be one too.

Another reason for this post…I was working on sorting out hair in my closet and decided I needed a new profile photo for 2018.  This is something I try to do at least once a year. It doesn’t hurt to clean your closet out once a year either.  Well?  What are you waiting for?  Get to it!   Spring will be here before you know it.

Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥

The Sleeper Awakens

Don’t forget to love her.  The little girl you used to be.  Perhaps she lies within you.  Untucked.  Sleeping peacefully.  ~ Kiana Llanos

Kat Sangria

It’s been three long years trying to bring my mini-me into the mesh age.  As Kat has always been 7 years old it was important to me to keep her at that age.  Not a toddler, not a tween, but somewhere in between there.  It’s been difficult, to say the least.

While I have a couple mesh bodies designed for the older child the cons have outweighed the pros in regards to using them.  The inability to find clothing, skins, mesh heads and/or more for a 7-year-old was very disheartening.  I just gave up and put Kat to bed hoping one day she would awaken.

A few days ago I had my Catwa group open and someone mentioned a mesh body for kids.  My eyes perked up and IMing the moderator got me the landmark.  I went, took a look and promptly bought the AVI(L) Twen mesh body.  What cinched the deal for me is that it is compatible with Catwa heads. I had previously purchased Catya by Catwa in hopes of using it with the other bodys but unfortunately no luck.  With AVI(L) the Catwa head is seamless.

The body can wear clothing sized for the SMB mesh body but it’s a good idea to DEMO any clothing if possible before purchasing.  There is also some clothing made just for the AVI(L) and with purchase of the mesh body, you get a small assortment of clothing to start out with.

Deetalez skins are the only skin maker at the moment, and in a limited amount of tones, but I am hoping that maybe other skin designers will get on board in the future.  Also offering the Deetalez skin in all tones would be a plus.  If any hair designers read this, maybe consider offering a line of hair for flat chests.  So many nice hairstyles I could have used except they were made for avatars with boobies, which made them unusable and limited my choices.  What I was able to find works well though and makes me happy.

I look forward to using Kat in future posts.  There is a backlog of quotes and a multitude of inspiration I am anxious to use now that the sleeper has awakened.  Be kind to one another.  TWMA♥
