What a little Cherry!

Warning!!!
This is an HONEST straight to the point shape review.
I do not want hate mail, or hate comments, as all will be deleted.

The shape in question is, .:: Delusions ::. Dottie Shape .

I will do this in… Pros vs Cons.. and I will try to explain my reasoning.

First.. here is the photo..

What a Cherry - pinup

Now, I would like to say, all in all, I like this shape.

However……….

Pro’s.
– The creator offers several shape styles.. “normal”, with or without breast, or ass, for mesh wearers.
- It has nice curves..
- The height is a nice, “natural” height..
- It looks nice with MOST skins.

Con’s
- The shape is NON mod… this is a HUGE issue in my book because, sure she offers, no butt, no breasts but, what about those out there that like the shape in whole but, maybe there is a detail they don’t… like the squinty eyes?
- Tiny squinting eyes.. this is a huge petpeeve of mine, and again this is MY opinion, I am not preaching but, I know many many ppl that prefer to be able to change that.
- There are too many “choices”.. this is a pro and a con… reason is, some ppl, prefer to HAVE a bust line when wearing mesh, I know I do… how about the option to be able to change the bustline just a tad?

Like I said, all in all I like the shape..
I just think that it falls in to a category of designers out there, that for whatever reason, make their shapes no mod.
Now, I have not asked the actual designer why she chose to do this but, I have spoken to other designers, and they have told me that THEIR reasoning is, they are afraid someone is going to copy their product (shapes)…… this to ME seems a silly reason..

Hey, to each his, or her own…

I just think that is the shape, and all of her other shapes, were modifiable then they would be more popular..

AGAIN, I am saying I like the shape.. lol..
I am expressing this because, in the past, I have given a review and been attacked for it and I do not want this to happen again.

If you are interested in this shape, and this, uber awesome outfit, then come on down to the Perfect Wardrobe event.
It’s a PinUp round, and it is really rockin!!

My personal favs were of course, Delusions & AlterEgo!!

I suggest grabbing the shape for sure, if your looking to change your look.

*Domino* Suleika Shape Review

Time for a review.
This is a review of the shape, Suleika by, Hideyuki Ichtama.

Now normally, I do not do reviews of shapes mainly because, shapes are a more, personal interest..
Meaning, you either buy, or make a shape to fit your needs.
Hideyuki’s shapes are mod/copy/no trans.

I was asked to give suggestions, and opinions, so I have decided to do a point by point review.

First off, I love the height, that is a given.
Under 6′ft tall is great.
It removes us from the “amazon generation” and brings us into the comfortably “normal” stage.
Not that there is anything wrong with taller shapes but, we are not “usually” 7 – 8ft in rl.. lol.

The length on the torso is nice, however, the shoulders I found a tad off.

In any shape the shoulders should co inside with the hips..
So, wide hips, wide shoulders, or small hips, small shoulders.
This reduces the “manly” look.

Arm length, great.. for those out there with what many ppl refer to as “alligator arms”.. this is when your hand barely touch your hips.
In rl, if you were to stand up and let your arms hang down, your middle finger would touch your mid thigh… now , take a guess how many just stood up to “prove me wrong” only to find out… DERP..
One small thing in the arm area.. hands.. always make the hands default sized 10..
I know many ppl like various sizes of hand but, most nail designers out there, make their nails fit the defaulted sized 10 hands. :)

The ONLY one single thing about the face that threw me off was, the lips.. they seemed a tad flat..
I wanted to show the creator what would happen if just adjusting those few things, and not take away from their creation.. so, I have put a before and after photo …

All in all, I love the torso, legs, FEET! omg, feet, always make them size 0.. all shoes are to sized 0 but, love the face shape, and the nose and forehead, chin.. neck..

Shape Review!

Note: I chose to widen the hips a tad instead of the shoulders, so that you as the creator, and you all as readers could se what i meant. I also changed my hand size and feet.. and just thinned the lips 1 or 2 points.
the main of the shape is all natural sizes :) .

Thank you, Hideyuki for asking me to review your shape!
It was an interesting experience.
And I hope I made sense thru out this post.

Song of the day, is inspired by HolliPocket!

Lately I have been wanting to work on my photo technique.
So, I have enlisted many volunteers from my, PLURK REQUEST, (list not closed yet! and FYI.. I need some male avies to add to the list! STOP BEING SHY!.. And, yes my plurk is private so you will have to add me :) ) and I am going to start taking their photos but, FIRST.. I wanted to log on and do some damage control on my inventory, so that on MY side there would be less lag, so I can rez the items I will need for this project.

So, as I was going through my items, I found some cute things..
Some as old as 2007 and some as new as… today, in 2011.. lol..

I am going to play this as a lookbook/show and tell…
I will show you the outfit.. and then tell you where you can find them lol….

So… enjoy!

Hair: A&A Skye Hair Dark Mixed Brown

NOTE!!!!
This is the item I have chosen to review….
A&A Hair,AKA Alli&Ali Designs reminds me of the OLD Damselfly hair…
When you turn side to side, the hair over lapses, and flickers and disappears.
I went through all of the recent releases and THIS was the ONLY hair that I could get to work long enough to take a photo.
Now, please don’t get me wrong… SOME of the hair from A&A is very pretty.. in photos, with … touch ups. However, I honestly, think.. that if they just maybe, re textured the hairs so that they are less… I am not sure.. Transparent?
I think with a bit of work the hairs would take on a new look, and be more widely accepted.
This one in the photo, I love it… it’s just that the flickering was driving myself and my partner completely insane.
Possibly I will post a video another day to show what I mean.
This is another reason, I send MASS kudos to the owners of Damselfly, for uping the game on high ar hair.
Now, please, do NOT take that as an insult… member’s of the obvious H.A.R club are the following, however not limited too…
Analog Dog… Damselfly.. and A&A….
There are many out there but, some can make their hairs work, and make them worth buying.
All that said, alil improvement and A&A will rock the market.
