Annie, Are You Okay? Are You Okay, Annie?

*MY UGLYDOROTHY creator Sopha Portal has done it yet again! And by 'it' (this entire introductory sentence seems like deja-vu to me), I mean she has created yet another adorable skin! This one is called Ann and just look at it! So precious, so pure, so innocent, yet so beautiful. And with this skin, Sopha has also launched a brand new epic move for those of us that are 2.0 users (whether Emerald 2.0 or SecondLife 2.0). What is this move? 2.0 skins...like face tattoos...that make you look like you're wearing the Ann skin. They're cheaper than the normal Ann skin and just as adorable. Unlike the normal Ann skin, the face tattoo doesn't cover your avs arms or legs or torso, but if that's not a big deal for you then this is huge!

The Ann skin comes in two skin tones: Whiteasfuck ([like Palpatine white] also known as just 'Ann') and Ann Mid. I'm reviewing the Ann Mid skin today. 'Cause honestly, it's summer! We need a little color, amirite? That and I get paid next week...so I really only had enough money to purchase two makeups. Ann Mid won. Each makeup in the Ann/Ann Mid skins comes with a teeth version and a non-teeth version, and both are equally adorable in their own right.

My final words: I'd definitely check out the Ann skins right now. RIGHT NOW! They're adorable, they're new, and I love them to be honest. Blair loves them too. Well, she loves them on me :3 While you're at *MY UGLYDOROTHY, check out Sopha's new *MY UGLYMAKEUPS. They're face tattoos for 2.0 viewers that come in eyeliner, freckles, lip tint, blush, and soft makeup to give your already adorable skin a little variety without having to buy (or ask for) a whole new skin. *MY UGLYMAKEUPS are 50L each, so they're really worth a looking at.

An Adventure With Hobbes!

I dont know about you but I love when my friends bring out little interesting toy's and I squealed when my friend Demi brought out her lil friend Hobbes! He's a little dapper tiger and boy is he just the cutest!

Ok enough about Mr. Hobbes, this post is about fun, bows and of course clothes! This outfit I got was actually freebies from a store I found on a blog and jeepers was I so excited! Willow has done the impossible, made a prim skirt that actually works! Usually I have to edit my hips, butt and everything else so basically I don't wear skirts that often.

Not did she only make a skirt but she created this beautiful shirt with bow detail. Anyone who knows sblair knows that I love my bows. The freebies are on the table to the right when you TP in. So GO GO GO and look at the awesome freebies and the rest of her amazing items she has made!

So I grabbed Demi and we did this cute little photo shoot! Side note on Demi, she is the creator of {nestle my bosom} and she has a bunch of fun and amazing items out! Such as her cute tattoo! Who doesn't like feathers? Thought so, so go down and support this cutie! NOW! She even has cute Power Ranger nail polish!!!

Gemma Ward?! Iz Dat You?!

Don't I wish! Gemma Ward is one hot model. I don't care if one of my exes said she looked like a frog. He was just jealous he didn't have flawless skin, beautiful eyes, and a model contract. She's pretty enough to have SL skins modeled after her at Mother Goose's skin shop and now she has another skin store under her belt (like she cares)...JM:Mai! JM:Mai's new line of Gemma skins came out today in w (white/pale), tan, and dark tan. The w skin has a dimple line too, which would be adorable if I could tell the difference between the w normal skins and the w dimpled ones. I however bought the tan version of JM:Mai's Gemma. Why? Because this skin has more options. Not only does it have the normal makeup versions, but some funky eye makeups, lipsticks, and a few skins that feature a little bloodier of a look.

Now, teeth skin can be sketchy. They can either look super cute, or look bucktoothed. Most of the time, I just look bucktoothed. I can say I played with my mouth sliders to fix my bucktoothy problem (I'd like to shout-out Olivia Connaught for helping me fix that) after I took these photos. But you can see how sometimes it may be difficult. At the same time, the mouth is adorable. It resembles Gemma Ward's perfect lips to a T for me. I also like how the nose and eyes accentuate the lips and bring the face to a full circle of exotic beauty, with a dash of hometown girl-feel. Now the eyebrows, not my faves. They look a little too harshly slanted for me. I thought it was maybe just my eyebrow base...nope. It's just how the eyebrows are. They are meant to look EVIIIIIL. Well, not literally. Either way, it really all looks freaking adorable. JM:Mai has really done a good job as normal. I would even go as far as to say that JM:Mai's Gemma skin outdoes Mother Goose's tenfold. It's way cuter with better textures IMHO.

My final words: This skin is not for everyone. Though I know people who have said they like it and that it's cute, I also know others who really dislike it (mostly the teeth part). So definitely demo the skin before buying it. That's not to say you shouldn't check it out! Do it, do it, do it! Can't knock it until you try it!

MY UGLYDOROTHY just came out with a new skin! Well actually three, but I'm only gonna review one of them. Cause let's face it -- I'm not made of Lindens. Strippers really don't make as much as they used to. Oh, I kid (not really), but yes! Sopha Portal has come out with three new skins as of today! I'd like to think this is her way of paying respects to the now late Gary Coleman and Dennis Hopper. Plus when life gets bad, something good is always waiting around the corner! MY UGLYDOROTHY is the epitome of good. First of the three skins released today was a Vienna skin (seen in my last & first MY UGLYDOROTHY review) in pale. Why in pale? Well if you actually listened to me and checked out the Vienna skins released by Sopha a while back, they were all pretty darkish. Even the light one kinda looked a little sunkissed to me (Blair had to tell me the skin didn't look sunburnt -- No joke). Apparently, the sunkissed look didn't go over well with everybody, so Sopha made it right. Afterall, the customer is always right (unless their name is Rosalie Tenenbaum). The second of the skins released by Sopha is Drew. Now Drew isn't being reviewed here. I loved how it looked in the ad -- I really did, but when I tried on the demo, it just didn't look as cute. Bummer for me, I know right? It's still bleeds with adorable as does the skin released today that I actually am going to review.

*waits for it*

Like that dramatic pause there? The one that made you just explode into a mess of blood and anticipation? Yeah, I thought so. The skin I am about to unveil for your viewing pleasure (possibly for the first time) is Sue. Oh Sue, Sue, Sue. To get off topic a little bit, every time I see Sue, I think of the Mary Sue Litmus Test and my own intelligent ego smacks me with a smile. So you can imagine the smile I get when that name Sue is associated with my love for MY UGLYDOROTHY. Now multiply that smile with the smile I get when I see teeth-skins. That's right! Sue (and Drew) have teeth-skin options! But not everyone belongs in a circus like I do, so for those of you who are not as excited about teeth-skins as I am, each skin comes with a normal mouth option too. Most teeth-skins have both so this isn't surprising, but I don't care! You get the best of both worlds! *cues death by Miley Cyrus music now*

Teeth-Skin option for *MY UGLYDOROTHY - Sue_04

Normal Mouth option for *MY UGLYDOROTHY - SUE_04

Now onto the skin itself: I'd be lying if I said it was perfect, but it's pretty damn close. Honestly, perfection is something hard to achieve if achievable at all. And now that you've got my deep thought of the day -- THIS SKIN IS SO ADORABLE. It looks like it has an azn (spelling out asian is for losers) feel to it that I think is adorable. With the outfit I'm wearing, I'd even beg to say this skin is Tokyo Pop. My favorite part about the skin though? The lips. They're small, they're thin, and they make you look like you're as sweet as pie. I could seriously be wearing bondage gear in these photos and this skin would have made me look...well, nevermind. You'd have to wear a cupcake pacifier, pandabear backpack, this skin, and maybe glowing wings to look like an angel in bondage gear. But the skin would be included! One stepping stone closer to being just another devil in a sweet as cake disguise!

My final words: This is a definite check out. I'd check them all out, to be honest. Demo them all! Demo everything in the store! Buy something while you're there! ALSO: Join the MY UGLYDOROTHY group and win exclusive skins on the lucky boards as well! Can't lose if you don't try, am I right?

I Love

This Skin

So Much.

This skin. I can't even tell you how much I love it. It's by JM:Mai. I'm wearing the [n] shade (I am assuming that stands for nude). To me, this skin screams cuteness, but not just cuteness. There's something fantastical and sweet about it too. I'd like to think if Princess Peach were an av (and not those badly textured ones you find on XStreet), she'd wear this skin. Just because it is her. And I don't care that this skin reminds me of Princess Peach. I love it anyway. Especially since it really fits me, it does!

My final words: Check out JM:Mai for your skin needs. Demo them all (there were alot there I didn't like and heaven knows no one wants to end up with something that looks strange or doesn't fit who you are). Definitely check out this skin too. I really can't imagine it looking bad on any av. Oh I forgot to tell you what the skin is called? Vivian.

"Rosie, do yo chores!"

Hi-Ho! Hi-Ho! It's off to work I go!

Working hard? Or hardly working?

All work & no play makes Rosie a dull girl!

My final words: Whoa Rosie! You don't normally do a 'my final words' for photo posts! Well, I'm gonna now. Why? Because I love this skin. It reminds me of kittens, and cotton candy, and everything good in the world. Definitely go down to Romi and check out all the skins there, because I can tell you that the others are just as cute and fluffy!! They even have teeth skins too!!

Lemme Eat Yo BRAIIIINNNNZZZZ

I really hadn’t planned on writing anything today. After a weekend of beach camping with the family and fighting off the worst head cold in the history of everything ever (I may be being dramatic – don’t quote me), I figured I could take a few pics, post what I was wearing, and be done. Oh – no, can’t do that now. Not since Keiko Morigi announced her store opening. Once that notice hit my viewer, I was there lickity split to pick up my copy of the new &bean Hounds of Love skin. I even got to talk to Keiko herself a little bit (Nice lady, might I add) because I was there so freaking fast.

There is a part of me that dies a little everytime I see this skin. Not because I hate it. No, I love everything &bean does. I’m a &bean fangirl! It’s just different from the group gift Keiko gave us earlier. The nose, while adorably designed, isn’t the same nose I fell in love with on the gift. That’s not a big problem though. It still looks adorable enough to eat (like Natalie Portman!) but a bigger issue for me is the eye makeup on some of the skin makeups.

This is more of a personal issue, so it should really be taken lightly in your own decision-making, but I don’t like to wear prim lashes. It’s just one more thing I need to edit before leaving my house. Yeah, extra time spent away from shopping and friends? No thanks. Editting hair takes long enough in my opinion. But a lot of these skin makeups are pretty drastic, over the top, couture-ish (to me), perfect for costumes/roleplay, and look kinda silly without prim lashes. Again that’s my own opinion, so take it lightly. I probably wont wear a lot of these skin makeups for that reason, but there are others that are awesome. My favorite for one is the Lamm makeup, but I also adore the look and feel of Korp, Rav, and Hjort. Either way, Keiko did a great job putting all her effort into this line and &bean still remains one of my top skin stores.

My final words: Sorry that ended oddly. As I said at the beginning, I really hadn’t planned on writing anything today. But for my final words on &bean’s new Hounds of Love line? Definitely demo it. Buy it if it fits you, but demo it. Demo them all! And don’t forget to stop off and pick up Keiko’s little 50L gift at the store! Did I mention the gift! Oh yes! There’s a gift! Only 50L too!

Something About Jesus

MY UGLYDOROTHY is anything but ugly. That’s just a fact. Don’t believe me? Check their Flickr page. Heck, go to their store and check the lines for their lucky boards. MY UGLYDOROTHY is a big deal and Sopha Portal should definitely be proud of herself. Now, as a fan of MY UGLYDOROTHY (I use Lillbe(Y) for one of my rp characters…yes….I roleplay on SL…my geekdom has hit a new low), I had to try out Sopha Portal’s new ‘Vienna’ skin. I just had to, I’m sorry! When you’re a fangirl, it’s about commitment – fo realz. And when I tried out Vienna, I was pleasantly surprised.

Now, I like MY UGLYDOROTHY, but it doesn’t mean I like everything that’s there. For instance: Nina looks terrible on my av. Just absolutely horrid. I try demos for it every time I go to the store, thinking ‘oh maybe this time’. Yeah-no, it’s never time. I’m also freaked out by Magaret (1, not 2), which I bought without trying on a demo. I mean, the skin’s not terrible…just….wouldn’t want to meet it in a dark alley (#justsayin). But anyway, when I put on Vienna, I was pleasantly surprised. It looks cute, realistic, not to mention it looks normal. It doesn’t make avs look like some Swedish supermodel (in my opinion – don’t quote me on that). To me, it looks like the girl next door. A nice change because I doubt all of you look like a LAQ or L.Fauna skin in real life. I mean, I’m sure some do, but let’s face it – everyone is different! It’s nice to see a skin that is cute, looks good on my av, and embraces that.

The only problem I had with this skin is that it’s redder than I thought it would be. Blair can attest to my asking if I looked sunburnt (if you think I do, keep it to yo damn self xthxbai). Other than that, this skin is adorable. It’s perfect for an average style. Sopha’s detailing is awesome and I’m either impressed or in awe. I’m also kind of grossed out that she has that much time on her hands to make skins like this, but then again – I’m blogging about imaginary fashion. And you’re reading about imaginary fashion. Erm….we all need to either be committed or celebrated for our geekdom. There’s really nothing geekier than us. Not sure if it’s a compliment, but take it cause it’s the best you’re gonna get.

My last words: Miracle Whip is 100x better than Mayonnaise. Definitely made my egg salad taste like heaven. Oh, wrong review? Cute skin, buy it. Now, get me a sandwich! Don’t make me get up – you won’t like that. I won’t either.
