Angela Loves Politics
So, I really like Barack Obama. I and was thinking about how his mom is from Kansas and his dad is African. And I thought...I could do that! Presenting the Barack Obama inspired Angela. Just like Obama, she's half black and was sent from heaven to help us.

Penelope: For the Blondes!
Finally, I have some love for the blondes! The elegant penelope skin is now available with blonde eyebrows. I wish I could have made this skin with matching blonde eyelashes, but it was not in the cards. The lovely red dress is called Vanity and it was created by the equally lovely Arikinui Adria from the Nuclear Boutique.

On Piracy
As a fellow skin designer, I feel that I need to give my opinions on the blantant copies of Emilia Redgrave's new skin line. While my opinions on the issue are controversial, it's a voice that is not usually heard among content creators in SL. Here it goes:
In the long run, there is absolutely nothing that Linden Lab can do to stop piracy in Second Life. The Second Life permission system is merely a form of DRM. Much to the chagrin of the record industry and the movie industry, copy-protection does not stop people from copying your products.
If there was a way to stop people from copying files, the RIAA would have invented it by now. While Linden Lab probably has smarter programmers than the RIAA, it's not a efficient use of Linden Lab's time. Any time and money spent on the effort would ultimately be fruitless. No matter how complicated, all copy protection will be broken. In addition, it will become easier to do so. We have seen it happen in the record industry and the movie industry. Widespread piracy will come to second life. It will be so widespread that enforcement will be impossible.
This leaves the matter in the hands of content creators. Here's what you can personally do to fight piracy.
- Blog! - If someone is stealing your products, get the word out! The SL community is very tight-knit and most creators love to help fellow content creators in a time of need.
- New Products - While some jerk may copy my skins, my store will always be the place to find the latest RealSKIN designs. If you want the latest skins, customers have no choice but to shop at a reputable store.
- Customer Service - The pirate that steals your skins won't have the resources to provide customer service.
- Marketing - The Pirate doesn't want to draw attention to their products so they can't effectively market them.
- CUSTOM WORK - This is the big one. This is the one thing that the pirates absolutely cannot do. In fact, as piracy becomes more widespread, custom work becomes even more valuable. Check out this quote from Kevin Kelly:
When copies are super abundant, they become worthless.
When copies are super abundant, stuff which can't be copied becomes scarce and valuable.
While it may seem that taking these steps won't have much an effect, keep in mind that making money from Piracy is hard work. Often, it's not worth the effort. If you can make it harder for your pirate to make money, then you can discourage piracy.

Finally... Another for the Men
I've finally made another skin for the men: Michael is tanner than some of my previous skins and his eyes are very mysterious.

Devilishly Cute
Halloween has really motivated me to work on some more fantasy skins. This skin also includes the shape and devil horns! Yay for evil!
The devil is wearing yet another amazing outfit from Chaospire. Someone needs to tell Devyn Grimm to get back to work. I've almost purchased everything in the store :)

Erica: a Button for a Nose
When wearing the Erica skin, you nose will be cute as a button!
She's so much trouble.
A note for Celene: I'd love to reply to your IMs, but you seem to be blocking me. Please try to unMute me. I'm not ignoring you. You just can't hear me.

More WoW: Blood Elf
My Night Elf skin received such a good response that I've decided to release another WoW themed skin. Like the Night Elf skin, the Blood Elf also includes prim eyebrows.
FOR THE HORDE!

Anne is Better Now
I'm sorry about the old version of Anne. She was not as pretty as she could be. I would like to repent for my skin sins with this wonderful new version of Anne. I've made her face more rounded and feminine while still keeping her personality.
If you bought the old version of this skin and would like to upgrade, just send the skin back to me for L$400 towards the purchase of the new version. I'm also making this offer available for my Alesandra Skin. Just be sure to mention why you are returning the skin.
Curious about the changes? Check out the difference:

LIVID *RealSKIN Darkness*
LIVID is quite a bit more pale than my previous goth skin. However, she's just as lovely. In fact, one of her makeup styles would work very well as geisha makeup as well.
Outfit: Chaospire
Hair: Kin
Eyes: Miriel
