  • Photography: An Elven Maiden.

    Kat Johnston Photography: The beautiful Erin McNamee as an Elven maiden.

    I was recently fortunate enough to be able to take some pictures of Erin McNamee, after she had been made over with an elven look and prosthetics. Although the lighting in the room was not ideal, I still think they turned out fairly well.

    Kat Johnston Photography - Pointed ears and everything! What a pretty little elf, hey?

    The make-up and prosthetics were created and applied by Kylie Joy Creative Makeup. She was a pleasure to work, and had even gone to the effort of custom-mixing eye-shadows just for the look she wanted to create! The make-up itself was fantastic, but for some reason, adding the pointed ears and the flowing wig just transformed Erin into an incredible creature of fantasy.

    I’ll be posting another couple of portraits of her soon. For the second look, I was able to whisk her away to where I could control the lighting a little better, so they’re a bit more refined than this pair!

  • Sanu in SL: The Miro skins for a touch of Spring.

    My husband teases me about this. He really does. Every time I start on something like skins, or hair, or buildings, he’ll go, “Kat, you said that I should beat you if you ever start trying to make <insert item here>.” To which I resoundingly reply, “Shut up. Don’t tell me. I knowwwww!”

    Skins are very much one of those things that I said I’d never do.

    Luckily though, I often ignore what I’ve said earlier, and do it anyway. So here’s the new release!

    Sanu Miro Skin Pale - pretty and ethereal, the promo shot shows the jonquil make-up.

    There are four tones, to suit a range of avvies, starting with a nice pale shade.

    *Sanu Miro Skin Fair - this time it shows the Jacaranda make-up.

    There’s seven make-ups available in each tone – six can be picked up individually, but the seventh can only be obtained by purchasing the fatpack.

    Sanu Miro Skin Mid - I love this sign best of all... it shows off the orange blossom make-up.

    Each of the skins have four options to cover some of the basics – light brows for blonde and lighter hairs, dark brows for brunettes and darker, no cleavage for those that prefer a more natural look and cleavage for those who want a bit of lift. By having these options on the skin itself, you have the tattoo layer free for other things.

    Sanu Miro Skin Tan - Cherry blossom inspired this particular make-up.

    So yes. I’ve made skins again. Skins inspired by flowers and Spring-time and frolicking and fun. I’ve even released the shape in-store as well, so that you can get the exact look in the signs with the addition of some hair from Fri.day, eyes by Poetic Color, and outfit by Evie’s Closet.

    Teleport to Sanu to try out a demo today!

  • Sanu in SL: It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack!

    The Sanu prize for the Needle in a Haystack Hunt: needles (of course! No harm in being literal) and a couple of cute, fresh skins.

    You know, I think a hunt is a great way to kick off the new month. During August I will be participating in the Needle in a Haystack Hunt, hosted by the Happy Hunters group. This will be their first hunt, so hopefully everything will go nice and smoothly for them!

    You can find a full list of participating stores on the Happy Hunters website, which will no doubt also have hints and teasers of some of the prizes added soon as well.

    The prize at my store is now up and ready to go. It contains two cute skins, in addition to some needles for nomming. (Please don’t try this at home. Like running with scissors, nomming with needles is hardly a great idea.)

    You can find these prizes at the Sanu mainstore inside a little haystack, and I haven’t hidden it all that hard. In a big hunt such as this, I just think it is much easier on everyone to have a prize that is easier to find!

    In case you do get stuck though, here is a little hint: I’m feeling hungry… do you like cupcakes as much as I do?
