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...........
Hello dears, Swirly here with FANTASTIC news! The Fashion Victim Headquarters is now open. Well truth be told darlings, it's actually been open for a little while now, but it just completely slipped Swirly's mind to tell you! And of course you know that we don't like to rush things here at Fashion Victim, laziness IS a virtue after all.
Above: Ayami and Stephanie celebrating the opening of the Fashion Victim HQ
The HQ houses the Fashion Victim office, where all the bloggers work hard to bring you sporadic posts of varying quality, if they are not distracted by Swirly tantalising them with her moves on the stripper pole. But darlings, there's so much more than that! Fashion Victim brings you........ designers!!! FABULOUS ones. Hey Joe, Indie Rainbow's Set It Off discount store, Funk-O-Rama, Veschi, HDesign, Lovey's Boutique, Savvy? and Tweet are all at Fashion Victim. And fingers crossed, Lemon and ZsaZsa's House of Beauty will open soon. Two of the stores house new designers; Alla Ruff with some very pretty hand drawn clothes and bright jewelry at Veschi, and our very own trashy little Dakota Buck who actually makes some quite stylish retro clothing at Savvy? Yes, with a question mark. Silly girl.
The Fashion Victim team hope to bring you a HUGE opening party to celebrate the opening of the HQ, and this should occur some time within the next 6 months if things go to plan. In the meantime, do drop by darlings! And don't forget to try the camping while you are there, trust Swirly when she tells you that it is an experience not to be missed.
*smooches*
