Second Life - A Petite Body and Soul

Well I am just spitting out blog posts lately, but I am finding so much inspiration in Second Life right now. This time it is mostly pictures because I found a new (to me) shop that has skins, eyes and shoes for Petites. Some of you may know about it, it has been in SL for quite a while I believe.

The Skin You're In (TSYI) has been offering skins and other body parts for biggies for years, and now they also have skins and eyes for Petites. Currently you can get two of the skins for free just by going to visit the store and joining the group, which is free to join. One of the skins is a rezzday gift and the other is a group gift. Both use a script and applier HUD, but the scripts come with very comprehensible instructions and anyone with basic prim editing skills should be able to do this.

This first picture shows Shanna, the rezzday gift skin. It comes with two appliers, one with cleavage and one without. It is a very nice tanned tone with light make-up.

The second skin is Mary, current group gift at the petite store. A lighter skin tone, but still with only light make-up, something that appeals to me personally.

I got a closeup of the face, here using the Mary skin, to show the eyes better, but it did not come out as well as I had hoped. I think you can still get an idea though, and since you are going to the store anyway, you can see more images there of the eyes. Here I am wearing 'Sparkle Eyes BlueGreen' and they really are a very lovely BlueGreen colour.

Next we have some shoes. I bought these flat sandals because I was tired of flip flops, and black high heeled ankle boots just are not the right footwear when you are going fishing. These come with a HUD to change skin and nail colours, and have a touch menu to change the colour of the straps. You have to zoom in fairly close to get to the touch menu, as it is in the actual straps, but it isn't too difficult to access and it has literally thousands of colour combinations since you work with changing increments of Red Green and Blue. Finally you can have shoes the exact same colour as that favourite top! Note in the second picture the cute little dangly detail on the side. It is those little things that can make all the difference.

Just to get some variation, I have some non-practical shoes as well. Here a Strappy Heel that also comes with a HUD for changing skin and nail colour. It is very stylish, don't you think? These do not have the colour change menu like the flats do, but they are cute just the way they are, I think.

And last, but certainly not least, the Heart Strap Shoes. Very sweet little heels that go perfectly with any dress. The colour does not change, but it is a fairly neutral colour that goes with most other colours. Note the adorable little heart at the front holding the straps.

I would also like to mention the other items I am wearing in these pictures. The clothing is from Carriage Trade Miniatures, a store that no longer has an in-world location, but all of the items are available on the Marketplace, and new items are added fairly frequently.

The hair is Bonnie (browns) from Tameless. They have the best hair in SL, I think, mostly because it is mesh and so less laggy than flexi prim hair. Bonnie is available from the Lucky Chairs, and actually comes in biggie size, but as you can see it resizes down to Petite size very well.

The jewellery is from Two Sisters Treasures Petites and the set is called Juniper Rainbow. It was offered as group gift for May. They change their gifts once a month, but often add additional gifts throughout the month and have a Midnight Mania board, as well as many 10L items. Very affordable and cute items.

There you have it, some pretty shinies, cute shoes and a nice skin, what more can a Petite ask for?

Enjoy your Second Life!
