ASHLEY FURNITURE LIVINGROOM

I have very slowly been upgrading Page, adding to an inventory screaming 2009 and violent roleplay gang leader. And..the inventory? Such a mess! (and still after the holidays, but I'm fixing that).

I spent the holidays hitting up sales, collecting make ups from my friend Mock, getting lovely jewels from Brutus of Pididdle and of course my bestie Plurabelle. I also have been stashing jeweled goodies from Chop Zuey's advent event and Earthstones giftie trees, other clothing advents, and lovely things Larcoco has gifted me from C'est La Vie (xoxox) And shoe sales! I took advantage of those too! Narcodix had a 70% off shoe sale! PLUS- I've been loading up on mesh...mesh..mesh!

But yesterday it was time to skin shop. And (^$!! skin shopping, to me, is an absolute HORROR! I spent 2 years wearing Chai then one wearing Tuli. My latest by Mojo followed. So I have been pretty loyal when it comes to wearing skins. But here in 2012 there are so many! And there are templates now that cause many skins to look very much alike (-_-), so it was pretty brutal- the entire 24 hours of blog reading, advice collecting and demo wearing. BUT- I managed to find one I LOVED. Yes. LOVED.

I tried everything from FD to Jesylilo- Glance to Pink Fuel. Curio, old &bean skins I had, My Ugly Dorothy, Al Vulo, Atomic, Ploom, League, even Milok sent me a gorgeous skin from Mothergoose. Oh! And The Skinnery, Mynerva, Dutch Touch and several different kinds from Mojo. They all either did not look right, were gorgeous but too pale (I like to rep my Cherokee heritage) or they looked the same as two other skins minus a few details.

It was a LOOONG process. BUT..I did manage to grab some things on sale for safe keeping from Dutch Touch and Antz, packed up on free holiday gifts left about and like Milok, Nova of Timbaktu sent me a gorgeous skin as well out of kindness. So I have lots of great skins for random rainy days, photos, etc, or when I decide to try a new shape and look. WIN!

So- speaking of win, who'd I pick?

The Body Co.! Who I'd tried before on Chre with ZERO win. Chre looked hideous in Body Co., but Page? Holy wow. I put it on and was like - THAT'S IT! That's the skin!" There was no second-guessing or switching back and forth from skin-to-skin to compare. The dark skin was the perfect shade and it detailed her shape and face with perfection.

Well...that's MY opinion. You folks may think I look hideous!

But I am happy, and as I was telling Aidan Valeska, I've never seen such a perfect pair of "tatas" on a skin since I started SL. Even I found myself staring at my own small boobage.

Happy am I? YES! And now I can play with make ups and hair and lashes and get all kinds of experimental. It's my way of pampering myself during my small vacation at my Decoch getaway in SL, where I'm pictured here at the sim owner's art gallery. I am Loving it!
