Now for the good stuff…

Hart Larsson, a man I can only describe as so-talented-I-could-faint, asked me to review his FRIGGIN FANTASTIC skin shop, PXL Creation Boutiques (SLURL), earlier today. So I walked in, I picked up a few demos to try on, right? I was NOT prepared for what I saw, and I’ll tell you why.

These have to be… seriously… some of the best skins I’ve ever seen in SL. Ever. EVER. And I’ll tell, no screw that, I’ll SHOW you why. Because this has to be the least smearing in the girlie-bits area I’ve EVER…SEEN:

Yeah. It’s THAT good. And I’ve looked at a LOT of skins. I have NEVER seen a skin that wasn’t completely smeared in the girlie-bits area on the inner thighs. Which makes this skin just incredible to me. So now that I’ve shown you the reason you should go out and buy this skin (becauseomgwtfnosmearingonthegirliebitsftw!), let me tell you more about why this skin will make an incredible, incredible addition to your inventory evolution.

We’ll start out with my personal favorites; the two things I look at first when deciding on a skin purchase: ass and titties (dude, I swear I’m a girl… no seriously). For technical purposes, the skin I will be reviewing is called “Chandra”, Tan, with Coffee eye shadow.

The nipples are incredibly realistic on all of the demos that I tried on. All match their skin tones beautifully. The breasts themselves give off a subtle white glow, highlighting the shadow beneath them. They look smooth and silky to the touch… as I’m sure they would be! *wink* I have to say, I’m actually most impressed by the nipples on the Chandra Tan skin, and the breasts in general. The shading and skin detail is top notch, and only makes you want to explore more of this perfect skin.

Now, I’ll start this next paragraph by saying… I have a pretty nice ass. It’s true. You’ve all seen it. It’s nice, right? Well get a load of THIS craziness.

I didn’t think it was possible to make my ass look any better… but Mr. Larsson has certainly proved me wrong. This has to be the most realistic looking ass I’ve ever seen grace the face of SL. The cheeks are just RIDICULOUSLY well done… and granted, there is only ONE tiny area that I see room for improvement on, and that is the shading beneath the “crack”… the lower cheek shading that seperates the lower bun from the upper thigh. Other then that though, the ass is just unbelievable. And coming from me, someone that is strangely proud of her ass (as again, you all know…), that’s saying something!

Now that we’ve covered my two favorite parts, we’ll move on to the more complicated, though less noticed areas. Knees, shoulder blades, hands, feet… The places you never think to look until you’ve purchased a skin and realize, “Oh, my God, I paid $1,000L for THAT? I can’t show my naked ass in public like this.” I am proud to say that this will not be the case with this skin.

The hands are beautifully done and very well detailed, right down to the pseudo french manicure on the nails. The hands and knuckles are shaded rather subtlely, but you can damn near make out the bone structure underneath the fragile skin. The feet are also very well done for being… well… Second Life feet. I’m sure you all know what I mean. Feet in Second Life just weren’t meant to exist… however, I am happy to say that I can clearly distinguish five toes, and even five toe NAILS on this skin,… something that is not always entirely easy to do!

The knees are also superbly shaded and detailed. They’re neither too small nor too knobby, something that always, ALWAYs irks me about most Second Life skins (I swear, you’d think some people have no sense of proportion). The shoulder blades, I have to say are a TINY bit under-detailed, but still nicely done. With a little more shadow to make them pop out from the spinal cord a tiny bit more, I think they’d be practically perfect.

A few more details about this particular skin: the makeup is fantastic. The lipstick is very nice and has just enough gloss for my liking. Not to mention that the lip texture itself is fantastic, almost lifelike, especially on the Cloe versions of these excellent skins. The eye shadows are very well done, blended and highlight the upper eyelids perfectly. The eyebrows are something you might want to keep an eye on when purchasing these skins and trying on demos, because they DO change from skin style to skin style.

Even the EARS are well done.

One more thing for all you oily skin lovers… the Cloe skin line comes in both regular AND oiled skin!!! That’s right… now you can grease up with that Crisco sheen WITHOUT using a clothing layer! That fact ALONE should be enough to cause some serious “Gaga, Googoo’s”.

*stands back and sighs at the marvelousness that is the PXL skin line*

I cannot stress enough how much you honestly need to run out and buy these skins. Right now. Hurry hurry. They’re excellent, and you will not regret it! :) And at $1500 a skin, they’re a steal right now. I’m sure at their quality, the prices will be skyrocketing before you know it! Get ‘em while they’re hot! However, as with ALL purchases, buy responsibly! Try on demos and make sure you’re getting what you want!

And if it’s true that artists only get better with practice, then this man’s going to be blowing us all out of the water soon. Bravisimo, Hart!

PS: There are also MALE SKINS at PXL!!! So all you guys out there, don’t hesitate to stop by. He’s got something for you too!
