LILLIAN’S EYES, MAKO’S MOUTH

February 9, 2011
tags: jita, lillian, mako, mons, second life, skin, the dressing room
by Mako

Lillian Shippe: This is the Jita Skin for The Dressing Room Blue by MONS. It is
under 100L.
Lillian Shippe: So the thing that strikes me first is that in every one, every
single friggin one, I still look Asian.
Mako Kungfu: Yep, you really do… and i don’t at all.
Lillian Shippe: WHICH MAKES NO SENSE.
Mako Kungfu: Well no, that’s not true. In the littlest shape I kinda do…
Lillian Shippe: The one in the middle?
Mako Kungfu: Yeah.
Lillian Shippe: Yeah, you sort of do…it is the most Asian of the 5 of you.
Mako Kungfu: Some of the shapes you are wearing are non-Asian shapes, right?
Lillian Shippe: All of them BUT my regular shape there are non Asian.
Mako Kungfu: Wow, really.
Lillian Shippe: Yes.
Lillian Shippe: The second one is a generic Insect Girl shape I use for that
sort of thing… The last one is a Kunstkammer and those don’t look Asian at all.
The 4th one is that Gonnie shape for Trilogy by &bean. None of those were Asian.
Mako Kungfu: Kunstkammer shapes were always very Germanic. You could always tell
which shapes were hers — she had such a distinctive, different look to her
shapes. I miss that place.
Lillian Shippe: Yeah, I miss her too…. That chin shape of hers was so
distinctive.
Mako Kungfu nods.
Mako Kungfu: Well… so why do you look Asian? lol
Mako Kungfu: They all have similar eye shapes.
Lillian Shippe: I don’t know? Is it because we expect me to be Asian? Like, if
we showed the pics of me to an impartial observer would they think these were
Asian avs?
Mako Kungfu: Yeah, most of them.
Lillian Shippe: Maybe I am drawn to similar eye shape avatars. But I
purposefully chose ones for this shoot sort of at random. You saw me do it.
There was very little thought on my part here. Most of these shapes were not
purchases, but rather accidental acquisitions.
Mako Kungfu nods.
Mako Kungfu: I think it’s all in the eyes. You seem to prefer shapes with a more
closed eye shape — look at the pic of me, my eyes are all wider than yours lol


Lillian Shippe: Yes, you do tend to go for the much more wide open eyeshape. We
both have our design leanings in that regard, and our prejudices are showing
here I guess.
Mako Kungfu: Well so that solves it lol
Lillian Shippe: We should design a shape for each other and trade.
Mako Kungfu: Haha that would be great! Next time…
Lillian Shippe: It would be dangerous.
Mako Kungfu: lol how so?
Lillian Shippe rubs her hands together and laughs with an evil titter.
Lillian Shippe: Oh…no reason.
Mako Kungfu: lol
Lillian Shippe: So, back to the skin…
Mako Kungfu: Well, so i think, especially for an inexpensive skin, this is
pretty versatile.
Lillian Shippe: It is…I mean, obviously a bunch of shapes can wear it and wear
it well.
Mako Kungfu: The lips are really berryish but it’s not that makeuppy…
Mako Kungfu: Wow, I just made up like half those words.
Lillian Shippe: You did… I was waiting for you to go to makeuppuppy next…
Mako Kungfu: lol
Lillian Shippe: They are VERY ripe lips. I tried a bunch of lip layers with them
though, and they can work.
Mako Kungfu: Yeah, you can easily tone down the ripeness if you want.
Lillian Shippe: It works on a variety of mouth shapes as well. Even that drag
queen thing you have going on in the first shape can play it out… down to the
little anime princess mouth in the third shape.
Mako Kungfu: hahahahaha
Lillian Shippe: Dude…totally true.
Mako Kungfu: I think the second one is more draggy…
Lillian Shippe: Look at the jaw on the first one. T’is all bout the jaw.
Mako Kungfu: You know that’s supposed to be a Scarlett Johanssen shape?
Lillian Shippe: NO
Lillian Shippe: NO!
Mako Kungfu: LOL
Mako Kungfu: one of these days i’m gonna bust out the Victoria Beckham freebie
shape.
Lillian Shippe: I think I have that one…
Mako Kungfu: I smell a special post!
Lillian Shippe: YAY
Mako Kungfu: So bottom line: it’s cheap, it works, get thee to the Dressing Room
to buy this thing while you have the chance?
Lillian Shippe: Yes. And if you like Asian skins DO NOT PASS IT UP. It is
probably one of the best I have seen in the eye area.

(And yes, Girl Mako has a bunny in her hair. Thank you, Hair Fair!)

THE INSECT GIRL

February 3, 2011
tags: female, insect girl, lillian, makeup, mako, pididdle
by Mako

Lillian and I picked up Pididdle’s Incognito Makeup Set at the Dressing Room a
few days ago. The ad for the makeup is shown here. We decided to blog about it
because… well, it challenged us, and brought up some issues we’ve been wanting
to address.

If you know either of us (or even if you’ve just seen us here on this blog), you
know that we both change our avatars quite a lot. We are shapeshifters and
experimenters and like to wear crazy things. That is part of what we both really
love about SL — you can swerve wildly between costumes, identities, concepts,
trends, etc. We both appreciate that SL takes all kinds — Glamazons, Goreans,
Furries, Faeries, Tinies, Twinks, Hybrids, Hipsters… whatever, it’s your second
life, you should be able to do what you please with it. So this post is not
about judging how you choose to present your avatar.

What it is about is this: the best creators make things, even niche things, that
are flexible enough to be worn by many different types of avatars. If you create
something that only fits a certain consumer audience, then your buyers are
limited. Sometimes, creators who themselves fall into a specific niche end up
creating items that only look good on their avatars. And that is kind of what
has happened here.

And so we come to what Lillian and I affectionately call the Insect Girl. The
Insect Girl is a particular type of avatar that is often seen in alt-fashion
environments. She seems to have started as something of a rebel against the
Barbie look that was practically enforced by the grid in earlier years, but has
since evolved to become her own breed of fashionista. She is small and oddly
made, somehow managing to have gourd-like curves but waifish proportions all at
the same time. Her head is often sort of heart-shaped. Her mouth is a downturned
little pout, her nose tiny, her eyes almost impossibly far apart. All of these
factors combine into what is often a cute, bug-like appearance… but one that is
very, very specific. And, unfortunately, often hard to work with.

In my experience, Insect Girls tend to create for Insect Girls. This is an issue
with skins, especially — skins designed to highlight the oddities of their
features make for crazy eyes and problematic mouths on more normally
proportioned avatars. And so we arrive at the Pididdle makeup set from the
Dressing Room.

The makeup is creative, well made and very interesting. Both Lillian and I
snapped it up with high hopes that we’d be able to do something with it. But our
regular avatars look absolutely batshit in this makeup.



It comes down to proportions. Though Lillian and I have very different shapes,
both of us have mouths that turn slightly up at the corners and eyes that aren’t
especially far apart. We tried other shapes, other colorings, and realized that
the only shapes this makeup looks decent on are Insect Girl shapes.



Eventually, we became virtually the same Insect Girl.



Now, this is by no means meant to slam Insect Girls. You are proud creatures and
rightly so. Rock on with your cute buggy little selves. Some of you have
fantastically creative Flickr streams and make some of the best products in SL.
And Lillian and I enjoyed the end result of this challenge (and laughed our
asses off at the unintentional twinning). Our frustration here is simply that an
interesting product is, in our shared opinion, not quite versatile enough for
our wider use.

If you disagree with us and have a “normal” shape that looks fantastic in this
makeup, please let us know, I’d love to see what others are doing with it! It is
available (for a limited time, I think) at The Dressing Room [SLurl].

Credits: Lillian and I, as usual, are both wearing a bunch of Lamb and Pig. We
will try to be better with more detailed credits in the future.

SOOTY LIPS AND CAT’S EYES.

January 31, 2011
tags: bare rose, female, glam affair, lillian, mako, skins
by Lillian Shippe

Mako directed us to the Dressing Room this weekend where we picked up this skin
by Glam Affair. Called Jadis in Natural DAMA, it has black cupid bow lips and
extreme cat eyes, with no brows to speak of at all. It is an extreme look, to
say the least. So we chose to play with some extreme garb from Bare Rose when
highlighting it. When we first tried the skin on, both of us felt that the
graphic nature of the makeup would limit our use of it, but after playing with
it a bit, we decided that it was much more versatile than we first thought. Mako
warriored his up, turning it into a fierce representation of goddess-like
strength. I embraced the kabuki side of it with and then went into a more
western play on the idea of dance. I found it interesting how easily this skin
slid from Valkyrie, to avenging geisha down to the dollish black swan. For less
than 100L, it is a steal.  Get yourself to the Dressing Room, if you can, and
pick this one up.

All outfits except for hair and tattoos are pretty much Bare Rose.

SMUG AND SATISFIED

January 23, 2011
tags: fashionably dead, female, lillian, mako
by Lillian Shippe

A long time ago I started trying to wear the skins from Fashionably Dead,
created by Toast Bard. I found that they looked off on me. I don’t know if it
was the fact that my shape was Asian, or that I didn’t have those round broad
features that her skins seemed to favor, but I just could never seem to wear
them well. I tried, every few months longingly picking up a couple demos and
then sadly packing them away. All that changed recently when I bought her Tokyo
skin that she made for the One-Eleven event. It was glorious and fit me in a way
none of her previous skins had. So much so, that I decided to give her skins
another try, and dragged Mako along for the ride.

Bird Skin, the lightest tone

Toast recently had a pack of her Princess line on sale at Euphoria for 100L,
which included 3 skin tones (Bird Skin, Morning Sun, and Earth Flower) in a
range of eyebrow colors and freckles. I showed Mako the Bird Skin.

Mako: I love that.

Lillian: It was 100L for the pack. It comes in Earth Flower and Morning Sun too.

Mako: I love the simplicity and the freckles, LOL

Lillian: and with black, brown, red and blonde brows…but the freckles are only
on the brown I think.

Mako: Oh that looks great too, that darker tone works well on you.

Lillian: You look lovely. It is so soft on you!

Mako: lol, you think? I look like… I can’t put my finger on it…

Lillian: I think this skin would be great for layering makeup tattoos on though.
It is a great base for that.

Mako nods.

Morning Sun, the medium tone

Lillian: You look sort of like….hmmmm…. god,  who the heck do you look like?

Mako: Yeah, I look like someone, don’t I?

Lillian: It is on the tip of my tongue. Oh! You look like Gwen Steffani when she
has no makeup on.

Mako: lol

Lillian grins.

Mako: Well now that you say that… yeah.

Lillian: …like someone just scrubbed you.

Mako: I think you love these more than I do, but I do like them a lot.

Lillian:  They don’t accentuate my DSL disease.

Mako: LOL would you really call DSL a disease?

Lillian: I can’t get away from it, every AV I make has it.

Mako: Heh.

Earth Flower, the darkest tone

Mako: I’m a little Angelina maybe?

Lillian: hmmmm….maybe.

Mako: …or somebody, I can’t put my finger on it. At least you don’t think I look
like Megan Fox again! lol

The Smug and Satisfied Outtake - Raw from SL

Mako: Yeah we look totally different. I look smug, you look satisfied. There is
a subtle difference.

Lillian: Hahaha. Blog post title: Smug and Satisfied.

Mako: Heh.

Note from Mako: Girl Mako has been wearing the Bird Skin (with eyelashes and
more freckles added via tatt layer) for a few days and it has really grown on
me. People keep complimenting me on it. Like Lillian, I had trouble wearing FD
skins before this — they looked fantastic on other people, but odd on me. Not so
with these newer lines. Rock on, Toast Bard!

SLINKY

September 14, 2010
tags: &bean, hair fair 2010, lemon, lillian, mako, SLink
by Mako

We both picked up the 1L gift skin from SLink at the 2010 Hair Fair. The skin is
called Siobhan and two tones (fair and suntanned) are included. And so, we
discuss:



Lillian:  On the &Bean shape I am wearing, it almost makes me look Bjork-style
Scandanavian.

Mako:  Haha, you do look Bjorkish.

Lillian:  God, I have pig eyes.

Mako:  And my regular shape has saucer eyes — the eyes are very defined on this
skin.

Lillian:  I just think there is some lack of highlighting around the brow bone
here that does funky things with the eyes.  Yours are huge and mine are tiny.
WTF?

Mako:  Yeah lol — exactly. That is strange. but there is eyeshadow and stuff… ?
I’m baffled, honestly.

Lillian:  The skin looks normal on the shape you have on on the far left.

Mako: Yeah… and funny thing is, I’ve worn that shape before and it has never
looked quite normal… this is an interesting skin.

Lillian:  You look like a kick ass cold fashionista with that shape on…

Mako:  Hahahaha — a cleaving kick ass cold fashionista.

Lillian:  Yes, well… the cleavage on this skin is fantastic. There is no denying
that.

Mako:  Indeed.

Lillian:  Your globes overfloweth.

Mako:  LOL. As do yours.

Lillian:  I am not used to that so I find myself constantly averting my eyes.

Mako:  Averting your eyes from your virtual cleavage?

Lillian:  Yes.  I am made uncomfortable by the abundance of my digital boobage.

Mako:  Lol. Embrace the digital boobage

Lillian:  Yes sir.

Mako:  For a 1L gift skin, this is pretty great though.

Lillian: Yeah, for a 1L skin? Boom boom. Let’s talk about the lips on this
thing. There is some serious candystriping going on… CANDYSTRIPE LIPS!

Mako:  On my regular girl shape, the mouth definitely looks odd to me. Like i’m
about to spit something out… But i don’t think they look bad on any of the other
shapes — I don’t find the candystriping distracting.

Lillian:  No it isn’t, it is just like super glossy…like Bonnie Bell glossy.

Mako:  What is Bonnie Bell?

Lillian:  It is teenage flavoured lipgloss.

Mako:  Oh. What kind of flavors?

Lillian:  Strawberry, rootbeer, bubblegum… it was some high class stuff, Mako.
Mmmmmmm rootbeer Bonnie Bell.  I had this girlfriend once… oh wait. Sorry.

Mako:  So this skin is just 1L and also tastes like root beer? SCORE!

Lillian:  YESSSSS.

Mako:  Can’t really go wrong.

Lillian:  Nope.

The 2010 Hair Fair is open until this Sunday, September 19th. SLink is on the
Hair Fair 1 sim.

EAT YOUR HEART OUT, BETTY

August 30, 2010
tags: female, lillian, mad men, mako, male, nomine, zombie
by Mako

Last year, Lillian and I went shopping for zombie skins. The ones from Nomine
(designer: Munchflower Zaius) proved to be our favorites, and we have both shot
in them on several occasions, both together and separately. This time, we teamed
up to showcase the skins in a specific environment — if you’re going to be
undead, why not be undead in the early 60s? Here we are having some fun with the
concept of Zombie Mad Men, our flesh-eating nod to AMC’s Emmy-winning series.





Lillian:  Ok…so Zombies and Madmen…

Mako:  So this concept started when I got the Nomine zombie skin around
Zombiefest time last year, right? You said I looked like zombie Jon Hamm…

Lillian:  Yes, that is precisely when it started. We both got the stage 3
skins…and I think we were standing around and I was bemoaning the fact that I
was a rotting deer, and you looked like an Undead Don Draper.

Mako:  Stage 3 or stage 2?

Lillian:  We bought stage 3 first… I remember the hour of debate we had.



Mako:  Lol, yeah it was a huge decision, trying to pick just one to buy.

Lillian:  Standing there in Nomine trying them on and working though the
versatility and degrees of rot on each —

Mako:  They are fantastic skins. We have both since gone back to Nomine and
gotten all four stages.

Lillian:  Each stage shows a different level of decay from barely rotten to
totally decayed with bits fallen off.

Mako: Hehe, all sorts of undead possibilties.

Lillian: In this series I am wearing the Stage 2 skin with the Stage 4
attachments.

Mako: Yes, you are a zombie mixmaster.





Mako:  The Zombie Mad Men thing was a great idea — we had grand plans for a big
shoot at one point. I’m glad we finally got around to doing this, even if it’s
on a much smaller scale than what we’d originally discussed.

Lillian:  It was…I think we should write a screenplay, but that is another topic
for another forum.

Mako:  Hehe.

Lillian:  Here is an interesting thing:  My ass…very lush for a zombie. I made
it EXTRA plushy for this shoot… I always DO seem to come back to my ass.

Mako:  Christina Hendricks plushy. Mmmm, Christina Hendricks…

Lillian:  YES…her ass, like that ripe lush tomato. Can we have a moment of
silent respect for her non-zombie ass?

Mako:  Yes.

Lillian:  ……

Mako: ……

Mako: Amen.

KAO SUNBURN: SNIFFLES, CRAZY, AND HIGH

August 13, 2010
tags: female, itutu, kao, lillian, mako, rach
by Lillian Shippe

Lillian Shippe, Mako Kungfu, Rach Borkotron all wearing the Kao Sunburn skin.

This time we tried out the Kao Sunburn skin available for 100L at the iTUTU
fair, with the assistance of Mako’s lovely partner Rach Borkotron (that is her
exuberantly showing her stuff over there on the right).  This is another one of
those specialty skins that looks different on everyone.  Look at our faces.
 LOOK AT THEM!   That rosy flush of color has a marked effect on each one of us.
 I don’t know why, maybe it is my fuller and slightly more bee stung lips, but
it makes me look like I’ve got a head cold.  My nose looks a little puffy and my
mouth does as well.  If I had told you I’d been fighting a fever for a few days,
you wouldn’t argue.  I might have JUST sneezed.  I’ve noticed this same effect
on myself with some of the skins from Sanu that have the rosy nose and cheeks.

Mako, on the other hand kept muttering about his eyes.  He does indeed have the
crazy eyes in this skin.  Some skins seem to take shapes that are already doe
eyed and give them the modified Clockwork Orange treatment.  This one does just
that.  You get a little bit of the wide open “HEY HOW ARE YOUUUUUUU DOING!?!”
hyperactive eye action going on.  It might be the pink highlighting of an area
that the body mesh tends to draw attention to anyway.

The award for slightly strange effects on the face for this skin goes to Rach
though.  On her, it makes her look a little sleepy…like she is fighting the good
fight over there  and has been rubbing at her eyes.  Maybe that last hit of
whatever was a bit too much.   Once again, it might be how that pink tone fluxes
around the cheekbone shape playing with how wide the eyes are set…or it could
just be that Borkotron is a nut that way.    I kind of personally love that not
only do you get a sunburn, but a Russian Roulette of personalities when you get
this skin.

The sunburn “tan” lines are adorable by the way, and you can see them playing on
each of our bikini clad torsos up there.   If you get one of the Kao swimsuits
however, they match perfectly.

MIA SNOW’S IMMORTAL DREAMER V2

August 7, 2010
tags: lillian, mako, male, miasnow
by Mako

Mako: So this is the Immortal Dreamer v2 skin from MiaSnow — I’m a huge fan of
the original Immortal Dreamer skull skin, but this really takes things up a
notch.
Lillian: The shading around the eyes…there is something about that pop of color
that is incredibly compelling. It just whammo draws you in.
Lillian stares into the skully eyes.
Mako: Hehe, the green one shown here is in the lucky board right now at the
MiaSnow mainstore in Mirrordeep, and there are other variants — I honestly
haven’t decided yet which (or how many) I’m gonna buy. I might need them all.
Lillian: Dude, that one of you in the blonde (upper left), you look like you are
slightly confused by your skinless condition. I love the quizzical look that is
going on there.
Mako: That’s a modded version of the Gamer Guy noob shape that Nylon Pinkney did
for Linden Labs. I loved those noob shapes — really unusual.
Lillian: You can do SOOO much with those shapes. I think I made my shape there
(upper center) based off that same original but damn, you wouldn’t know it. Why
are my teeth crooked? Did I get punched?
Mako: Heh. You pointed out while we were doing this that, because it’s such a
strong graphic skin, the shape variations might not be so obvious… and that’s
true for the more normal shapes we tried this on. But I think the odder shapes
really bring out some awesome differences.
Lillian: Yeah. In your original shape (upper right) you really see that delicate
peachy asian man jawline of yours come out. You still look like a carbonified
John Hamm though.
Mako: LOL. We are not putting that in.
Lillian: Yes we are.
Mako: LOL.
Lillian: The hipster girls will all want the skin so they can look like an over
grilled Christina Hendricks.
Mako: Well, the first Immortal Dreamer was unisex. I’m not sure if this one is
meant to be unisex too…
Lillian: I got a good look at your pecs when you went all shirtless. It doesn’t
look that unisex to me. It is seriously six packed up.
Mako: Yeah. Though if you weren’t planning on ripping off your lady clothes it
could be unisex. The face works for… whatever.
Lillian: The face is TOTALLY unisexed. Damn, look at the range of expressions up
there with that thing. And that is with no emoters. It looks totally different.
Mako: I wear MiaSnow’s skins the most when I am shapeshifting into something
crazy. I mean, look how awesome and solid and terrifying the skin looks on the
giant strongman shape (lower right).
Lillian: Ok..I’m totally bragging now. I make a friggin hot skeleton dude (lower
center). Look at me with the mohawk. Tell me I am not dangerous and hot.
Mako: LOL yes, you are fierce. Watch out for my skeleton strongman though!

SHAPE SHIFTING: ATOMIC BAMBI

August 6, 2010
tags: $NFSCD, atomic bambi, beautiful girls, bodyline, female, lemon, lillian,
mako, rockberry, sea hole, vive 9
by Lillian Shippe

Here we are with the first comparison with the shape shiftiness.  Mako and I ran
out and grabbed the Atomic Bambi Lana Sunblush Pure 2 skin that was out for
Rockin Friday.   It was a meagre 50L, and we have both gotten skins from Atomic
Bambi before, so we were no strangers to the product line there.  When we
started running through our shifts the differences that happened under the skin
started to come out in subtle ways.

Some of the differences were REALLY subtle.  If you look at the first row:
 (Yeah, that is me up there) you can see that the Asian features in shape 3 and
5 REALLY don’t come across at all.  Yup.  My AV is Asian, but damn, you wouldn’t
know it in this skin.  2 and 4 have some strong contrast in the jaw line with
the delicate vs the strong square drag queen jaw both working fairly well with
this skin.  Mako tells me I generally have DSL  in my normal shape and this skin
doesn’t really fight against that, in fact, it sort of camouflages it, so if you
are a big lipped sister like me…well…you can see what it does to you.

Mako is all girled out there in row two.  I think the changes in shape are much
more hard to spot with this skin till you get to the funky thing happening with
him in number 9.  WTF dude…His face just went through a Playdough pizza roller,
but such is the world of the some of our shapes.   The deep set eyes on 9 also
seem to eat up all the socket coloration, so if you are setting your sliders
extreme there, take that in to account with this skin.  The lip texturing seems
to work for all the permutations of shape and most interestingly, even on number
7 which has a rather unique wider nose configuration, the shading doesn’t look
that off.

Now keep in mind, we are both fully aware that shape is a highly personal thing.
 I mean, hell, Mako custom made his girl shape, and mine has been so heavily
modified that it bears little resemblance to the thing it once was.  We KNOW
that people fall in love with certain shapes for some serious internalized
reasons.  Skin creators aren’t any different. Keep that shit in mind when you
shop folks.

HOW THIS BEGAN

August 6, 2010
tags: general, lillian, mako
by Mako

Once upon a time, Mako (who happened to be a girl at the time) and Lillian
realized that they were wearing the same skin… and that they looked completely
different. This was interesting to us. Maybe not so much to you, but we became
fascinated. So we plan on doing things like this again. Comparing. Discussing.
Laughing our asses off. This is our blog.
