for-NEVERMORE!!! yes!!! it's true

i'm gonna totally GUSH in this post... for a few reasons... but first of all, THE NEW NEVERMORE SKINS ARE OUT!!! YES!!! FINALLY... some of us have been waiting 2 years... and... they are worth the wait...

ok, so now to gush... santana lumiere, true artist extraordinaire who is the creative "genius" behind all nevermore products (and i personally do NOT use that term lightly) made these skins in a week..

1200 of them... ok i don't totally get that, but...

so what i really like about these skins is:

1. the body...
2. the face...
3. the option to "lighten and darken" your skin in appearance (you can even add the linden freckles!)
4. what you get with each skin.

OK SO YOU NOT ONLY GET A TONE YOU CAN MAKE REALLY LIGHT OR DARK TO SUIT YOUR MOOD... BUT you get 2 eyebrow options, thick and thin (and GREAT brows btw) a lightly freckled version... and dang, i can't remember what else, lol... oh prim lashes, face light, and some other goodies... so for ONE face you get like tons of opportunities to get different looks and just 1k each...

ok so to gush....

santana doesn't have a blog... she rarely puts her new stuff in the forums, and much of her stuff is NOT brand new... but this girl was a trailblazer in SL fashion. her hair textures on her OLD hair made years ago still looks fresh and lovely. her eyes are great, manicures, jewelry, her dolphie boots are like works of art, and have you ever seen her furniture??? oh and... her body suits???? basically MOST of her stuff, (not all) can stand up to anything being put out.

NO she hasn't learned sculpties yet, i don't think, but really there isn't an artist i admire more in SL. we've chatted a lot in the past as we became friends... and i've been equally impressed by her way of looking at what she creates. in normal conversation she says little pearls of wisdom that just make me step back and say... "wow"...

because i wear her skins pretty much exclusively... i send folks over there often, and always people are like, "OMG i NEVER knew of her!!!"

but there isn't a designer i know who doesn't admire her work and i'm just thrilled that i get to say... YAY, HER SKINS ARE OUT!!!

i was gonna show a photo... but.............. i think it's best you go check out a demo and see for yourself. today i invited my group over to see them (at her place) and a few put on demos and it was like WOW!!!

anyway, THAT'S all for my gushing.. i told santana.. 'you know people have asked me if you paid me' cuz i have spoke about her skins so often... and she said... "wow, that would be pretty lame if i did.... if i had to pay someone to wear what i make, i guess that would make me wonder if it was even worth making at all."

and THAT is what i think is so amazing about her....

anyway, congrats santana... please make more stuff too... like clothes, and other things...

a very happy callie signing off!!!

At last some recognition for a trailblazer on the fashion blogs! - ty ty callie, i too have always been a big fan of Nevermore- one of the first shops i regularly returned to in sl when i was a newbie, I cant really add any more because you said it all so eloquently but yes she is a true artist.
