Yay for Lemon!

Finally! Aemilia Case from Lemon brings us a realistic larger girl's shape which was not created as some kind of "fat joke". Lemon are known for their high quality shapes but up until now Aemilia has focused on shapes for men, whilst Haver Cole has worked on the women's range. Spin Spin Sugar is Aemilia's first female shape for Lemon but hopefully it won't be her last. This shape has soft curves and an absolutely gorgeous face. This is 100% real woman, no Barbie influences here. Will it sell? I certainly hope so, but I imagine the market would be limited to those brave few who can look past the idealised stereotypical image of female "beauty" that is so prevalent on the grid, and who are comfortable enough to express themselves with an avatar that others may see as less than perfect. Aemilia has been wearing Spin Spin Sugar on and off since she made the shape and says reactions have been mixed, with comments ranging from "God I love that!" to "Lay off the burgers". The latter comment is hardly surprising given that discrimination against people who are overweight is universally accepted and even encouraged. Things are certainly no different in Second Life. A shape such as this will also present challenges in the need to carefully adjust prims to fit, and the fact that a lot of poses just won't look good.
All that aside, if the face on this shape doesn't sell you, I don't know what will. As with all Lemon shapes, a demo is available, and the shape is mod / copy so you can play with those sliders to your heart's content. Just don't set any of them to 100, please...........

Dumpster Diving with Swirly - Chicanery Pretty Pretty Time

Darlings, Swirly has a real treat for you today! Fabulous new shapes from Chicanery Turnbull - and they are FREE! The question most frequently asked of Swirly by n00bs is "Swirly, can I have your shape?" Very few n00bs are able to afford a shape as carefully sculpted as Swirly's, but now thanks to Chicanery they can have something almost as good, and for free!

There are 3 shapes in the Pretty Pretty Time series and Swirly had difficulty choosing a favourite so will model them all for you here today. This is Swirly's first nude photoshoot for Fashion Victim, but you can breathe a sigh of relief because it definitely won't be her last! (Alas, the original pics had to be replaced with censored versions as obviously Photobucket found Swirly's bits a little too hot to handle! Prudes..... pfft)

First up is Allure, and never has a more appropriate name been given to a shape. Allure is a statuesque beauty, with delicate facial features and sultry eyes. Wear this at the Welcome Area and wait for the influx of sexually inappropriate IMs!


Next we have a petite yet curvy beauty, Buttermilk. While Swirly does think the bosoms could be a little larger, this tiny flaw is more than compensated for by the stunningly striking face. I can tell you now, you won't see 100 other girls walking around the grid looking as good as you will in this shape!


The last shape in this series is Glitter Paycheck, and for those n00bs who are seeking a seedy and degrading career as a stripper or escort, look no further, Chicanery has you covered! The figure is a little too slim for Swirly's liking, but I suppose Chicanery was catering to more conventional tastes when creating this form. Still, Swirly does like the facial features, and is reminded of the old saying "The face that sunk a thousand ships" when looking at this shape.

So dears, grab hold of a random n00b and run, don't walk, to Chicanery and help beautify SL! You can see the original forum post here for more details.
