I have been a Tonic gal ever since I made the switch to a mesh body, and I’ve never once regretted my choice. To this day, I believe that Tonic is the most natural-looking of ALL the mesh bodies, especially when it comes to curves… and let’s face it, I’m all about the curves (the blog is named Ceja’s Curvy Chic after all!)… However, and it’s a big however, Second Life clothing designers just aren’t keeping up with my taste or that of my fellow Tonic beauties. Yes, sometimes other sizes fit perfectly with a tweak of the alpha HUD, something I’ve tried to always mention in copy. But it’s a fact that as a blogger it can sometimes be a struggle to show clothing at its best when it just doesn’t really fit and it takes an incredible amount of time to try to make it work, time that I simply don’t always have. This outfit (which I’m blogging because it was supposedly at Designer Circle but isn’t!) was the one that finally put me over the edge. With this neckline that totally frames this awesome tattoo, I definitely wanted to blog it, but even wearing two different sized cardigans, bits were either still popping through or visible parts were alpha’d out. After hours of tweaking and adjusting, I bit the bullet and decided to get a 2nd body from among the most popular brands so that not just this outfit but all the others down the road would fit. My goal was to look as close to my current figure as possible, and with some experimentation I was able to easily achieve that with Slink Physique. After purchase, I’ll admit that I ran into some issues getting my tattoo to show which caused me to reach out to Slink customer support because that was part of the whole point… within 10 minutes, I not only had a response, but they had checked me out, and as an experienced blogger who credits everything I was also gifted an Hourglass body so that I could play with it and hopefully blog about that body too! WOW! Completely unexpected, and completely blown away! This will open up lots of new blogging opportunities in all kinds of designs that I haven’t been able to model before… so many exciting things to look forward to!
And for my first blog wearing Slink Physique:
- Skin: 7 Deadly s[K]ins – Cynamon just has a fresh look to me which is why I thought her perfect for a springtime photo (not to mention she’s lightly freckled, which to a redhead is a HUGE plus). For this bright green sweater & my red hair, I chose the Butter tone from the Light Tones (browless so I could have my red brows) but you can choose from fatpacks of light or dark tones. On sale for just 250L per fatpack at the Designer Circle 02/19 Jan 20th – Feb 2nd. Shape & demos also available.
- Tattoo: WitchCraft – Yanna, 3 versions (40/60/80%), on/below chest, down arms & back. In Maitreya, Belleza, & Omega appliers. Also includes a separate applier for the legs. EXCLUSIVE at the Designer Circle 02/19 Jan 20th – Feb 2nd.
- Body: Slink – Physique Mesh Body Original, Full Version including Hands (Dynamic) & Feet
- Outfit: Enigma – NEW! Soraya Set, includes the cardigan, jeans & heels. The cardigan is to die for (or in my case, to buy a body for lol); LOVE LOVE LOVE this neckline… it’s daring without being overly risque, & then ties off in a perfect wrap at the waist, with wonderful textured ribbing on the front. Choose from 6 colors for both the cardigan & the pants in the HUD. Sized for Belleza F/V, Slink H/P, & Maitreya.
