Since I couldn’t release anything last week because of RL duties (even if I had planned to release two dresses), I have decided to toss in no less than THREE new releases for this week.
Here’s what will be coming to Wunderlich’s in the following days:
The ‘Angela’ dress (originally planned to be released on the 31st of July, as the picture says; but as I already said, that, unfortunately, wasn’t possible):
Angela will come in 24 colors, of which ‘Wine’ is shown above.
The ‘Draped Roses’ dress:
This dress comes with the long flexi skirt shown here as well as with a short, single prim skirt. It can also be worn with matching ‘hot pants’. ‘Draped Roses’ will be released in 23 colors.
Last not least, the ‘Velvet Chains’ dress:
The babydoll skirt shown here is fully flexi, with no less than 40 prims. The chain is an extra flexi prim for added realism (see right picture). This dress, just like the ‘Draped Roses’ dress, will also come with a single prim skirt and can also be worn with short pants. It will be released in 26 colors.
The three dresses will be released on Friday, 6th of August 2010, at Wunderlich’s. As soon as they are released, I will do another blog post.
Style notes: I’m wearing Wunderlich’s ‘Aneta’ skin with various makeups in several skin tones in all pictures. The hair is Jacinta by Truth in – gem. Dresses, as listed above, all upcoming at Wunderlich’s.
Hope you like the sneak peek

I’ve released a new skin – Aneta.
Aneta comes in five skin tones with 24 different makeups and two versions for each skin – with and without freckles.
Aneta is available as single makeups (per skin tone) – the ‘with’ and ‘without freckles’ version of each makeup in one package is L$ 250. Also, fat packs (again, per skin tone) are available too – all 24 makeups in the ‘freckled’ and ‘non-freckled’ version are L$ 2,000.
Demos of all skin tones / makeups / ‘freckles’ and ‘no freckles’ are of course available at L$ 0.
The new Aneta skin line is available at the ‘Latest releases’ wall as well as in the skin store, which is close to the teleport point of my main store – SLURL: http://slurl.com/secondlife/ZoHa%20Islands%20E/198/69/22

I’ve just released my first series of summer bikinis. Three different designs, each of which comes in many different colors – all of them come on underpants / undershirt / pants and shirt layers:
1. The Flower Monokini:
Available in the following colors (click the image to enlarge!):
2. The Terry Bikini:
Available in the following colors (click the image to enlarge!):
and, last not least, …
3. The Beads Bikini:
Available in the following colors (click the image to enlarge!):
For a week, each bikini color (that’s four clothing items!) is L$100; after that, they’re L$150.
The bikinis are available at the newly established ‘Under- and Swimwear’ building of my main store and, currently, also at the ‘Latest Releases’ wall – both are close to the TP point:

Hope you like them
My latest release are the ‘Puzzle Skins’ – Skins with a seamless jigsaw puzzle overlay; some in solid colors, some with a gradient on them. Think 3D-Puzzle.
Each color pack is L$300 (fat packs with all 19 colors are L$3,000; free demos are, of course, also available) and contains four things:
First and second, the skin in the corresponding color – one with and one without a hairbase.
Third and fourth, two different Viewer 2.0 Alpha Layers which can (but don’t have to) be worn with the skins. When worn they’ll punch tiny spaces between the puzzle pieces. One of the alpha layers even converts the avatar’s teeth to ‘puzzle teeth’ (and the other doesn’t; that’s why they’re different).
The skins are available for male and female avatars.
Here are some of the available colors – clicking the images leads you to the corresponding Flickr page, where you can see a larger version:
The skins are available at the skin store of my main store and, currently, also at the ‘Latest Releases’ wall – both are close to the TP point:

After documenting the Victoria’s Secret catalogue Photoshop disaster, I had a weird idea. Since I mentioned in that blog posting that the pictures from the catalogue look so much like SL snapshots, I thought, well, why not reproduce those pictures in SecondLife? Idea was in my head, and it wanted out; so I just started.
I started by making skins that would befit the models. To create those, I used a skin resource pack of mine which I haven’t published yet.
Then, I photosourced some underwear – NOT from the Victoria’s Secret catalogue pictures, of course, but from some licensed resource photos I have.
Afterwards, I created a first pose for one of the pictures in Poser. Lots of trial and error here – if you ever created poses you’ll know that the hands of the avatar tend to disappear into the body (which basically has to do with avatar shaping).
Then, of course, I had to create an appropriate shape for my SL avatar. Oh and create a matching SL background because I wanted to photoshop as few as possible in the final shapshot.
Afterwards I went shopping, because frankly, if I would have created the hair as well, I would have spent more time than I wanted (which, at that point of time, were already ten hours on this fun project). I found hair that worked at ‘Truth’ – the ‘Megan’ hairstyle was almost what I needed, and it was mod, so I bought it, assumed the picture pose, and edited the hair so that it looked more like the one in the photo which I was trying to reproduce.
Plus, I bought a jacket, since I didn’t really want to photosource one. As I said, much time already spent. The jacket I found is by Cypher Ivory, called the ‘Yeti fur bolero’. The jacket, too, had to be edited so that it would fit the photo.
Then I could take my final snapshot, and edit that just a bit to add some more shadows and highlights. Well, just before I type my hands off, here’s the evolution of work I described above – with underwear, slighly changed / adjusted poses, skin, hair, etc. – all in all, eleven snapshots until I got it right; the last one is the final one, but not edited yet:
And here’s the final image edited a bit to make it match the original picture a bit more; side by side with the original image from the Victoria’s Secret catalogue. Unlike that catalogue picture, however, I’ve just added a few shadows and highlights to my snapshot:
Just to prove that I haven’t cheated, here’s another snapshot of that final image (without the facial expression) from a different angle in SL, which I haven’t edited:
This is the first picture I reproduced; I’ll reproduce the others as well, one per day. In case you’re wondering, my skin and underwear can be bought nowhere, they just exist in my inventory since I made them myself. Maybe, eventually, I’ll release them.
Hope you like my RL-SL Victoria’s Secret transformation; if you do, stay tuned for updates
