The Skin Trade

This post focuses on skins! You may know there is currently a Skin & Shape Expo taking place until 10th October. There are loads of designers showcasing some gorgeous new creations there. Quite a few have freebies/dollarbies available too. However if you do go, be ready for some serious lag - deprim as much as possible, your video card will thank you for it..... Links for dollarbies are to the Expo as these skins are only available there at present.


First up - Lily skin L$0 from Exodi at the expo. This gift includes four skin tones with dark & light brow options, as well as some prim eyelashes. Hair - Sloane from Tousled - L$40 for a pack of 3 (hurry though, pre-moving sale). Eyes - autumn crocus from Poetic Colors - not free.


Another freebie from the Expo - the Megan skin from Rockberry. The gorgeous skin has amazing detail, and comes in four tones. Eyes, not free - autumn indian summer from Poetic Colors (as before). Hair not free, Wendy in cocoa from Truth


Final expo freebie - Braelyn from [the oBscene]. Box includes 8 versions of this skin and four of a paler skin with nosebleed & cut throat options! Eyes & hair as before.


This skin is not from the expo, but the current group gift from Belleza. They make some of the best skins on the grid & the detail is superb. This skin is called Jesse and the gift includes two skin tones both with hairbase and enhanced cleavage options. You have to pay L$250 to join the group, but (imo) it's worthwhile. The gifts alternate between male and female skins/shapes. There is also a dollarbie skin available for both males & females just inside the store door.
