The Boys of Summer is a Depraved Nation Fashion Fair centered around mens appearance, fashion and accessories! 

This fair will have a very basic summer theme, and of course, be centered around men. Participating brands will be given a shop space to display their store content in, all content must be related to or designed for the Male Avatar.

Each participating brand will be providing a new, exclusive release priced at 50% off the normal cost.

That's a really cool outfit I made for a casting.
The theme was casual beachwear.
Unfortunately I was not taken. Probably they found me too casual, as everyone was wearing something very less casual. But it was fun and I met new interesting people and met new friends. Cool!

The hardest part was finding the right poses, as I really wanted to go for the beachball look. And I do thank Isoldel who made me a walking animation for it. The original outfit did not had the mesh hands, as I didn't have them in my inventory by the time I casted.
And by the way, the manicure of my hands is by Isomotion too.

This dress looks like a sculpture, its design is very interesting. Since it's all black, I wanted to add some color and chose this blue.

And I felt in love with the mesh hands from Slink. Before having them I thought my life would not really change having or not having them. But it did. They add some delicacy to the expression of the avatar in the pictures. And I am every second again impressed on how real they look.
If you don't have them, you might want to try them and chose your favourite handpose.
The ones I'm using are the tintable one. I have some appliers already but I am experimenting the tinting HUD first. I am also very proud of the blue color I made with that. It matches my make up perfctly!

I'd also like to introduce you to SLINK mesh hands. Has you may have noticed already, it is the first time you see me wearing them. I have to thank Siddean Munro to be very nice and always available for costumer service, with her competent and lovely support staff.
To know more detailed about SLINK and its products, you may visit its official website or may have a look to my post posts featuring some of its creations.
I decided to get the relaxed edition of the hands as my first mesh hand, as I fund them pretty close to the avatar standard pose. You know, I am very bad in drastic changes, so I can't move so fast from one picture to the other. I needed something that will slowly bring me to the change!
I think they look extrmely cute and it's also very easy to tint them. I gave it a shot and it took me about less then 10 minutes to fix everything I needed to. I just needed at the beginning to pay attention to the lights.
Everyone who reads this blog for a bit longer knows that my graphic card suddenly decides not to work for weeks, and then it starts working again and lets me take amazing shoots. So it is very random that I success or not in tinting the skin of my feet/hands/whatever.
At the beginning everything was glowing and I was like "Whoa! I have magic hands! Will I be able to throw a spell?!" But then I played a bit with the settings and I got some nice neutral light that helped me fix the color on my hands.
And when I turned the graphic on the highest and added all I needed to take the picture, all the glow disappeared for good. So it's just a matter of settings. SL lights react different on mesh, sculpt, prims and avatars, maybe the developers could study a building option that allows builders to tell what their prims/meshes will be... if it's a build, a dress, a human piece... so that they can react differently to the light.
Back to the SLINK hands, I am totally satisfied and amazed. The HUD has all options you need for tinting, in the pack there are different sized wrists and a collection of notecards that help you understand how it works. Also you have full support and descriptions on the website.
And if this won't be enough, the costumer service is always ready to help you in less then 24 hours.
You also get a different set of hands, which have the possibilitiy to receive skin and nails from appliers made from other SL designers. These hands cannot be tinted, but you may add textures with applier HUDs. They also have an option to change nail's lenght.
I'll show these options soon :)

I hope you didn't forget about {MUA}. It is a make up brand owned by Shanty Bookmite. Shanty hasn't been logging in SL for a while due to her full RL schedule. But as soon as she had some time she came back and brought a new make up set. Isn't that so nice of her?
THis is the cute Guess make up set, it comes in full, eyes only and lips only options.
