These pics have been sitting on my hard drive for about a month now.  (Maybe more!)  And I have just photo shopped them to death! The first pic I DID finish after many hours of toil and grief and the second pic I was about 2/3 finished with when I decided that more than likely the swimsuit season would be over before I ever finished the pics…:/   Those of you who have followed my recent blog posts regarding my new take on fashion blogging know that I have given up PS ing (for the most part) in favor of enjoying what I do again!

SO. . .I decided to go ahead and do some quick final changes to the second pic, close my eyes and post it!  PurpleMoon is one of my favorite designers in SL and so it stands to reason that I would LOVE these bathing suits!  The first look is called “Di Bodysuit” making me unsure that it is a “Bathing suit” at all.  It comes with a lovely Rose Tiara that kind of got lost in all my BEAUTIFUL Shag hair, but it is really nice and you can get the bodysuit (and matching tiara) in several different colors.  The second suit is called “Tropicana in Gold” and I have to admit, the feather attachment was the first thing that caught my eye!  I like something that will set a swimsuit apart from all the rest and that did it for me!

Both swimsuits feature the Cassandra skin from Izzie’s that you have seen here before, but what I loved about the skin in these pics was being able to see all the pretty “birthmarks” or moles that Izzie placed on the skin.  (I hope I did not PS them all out…:/)  That is something that I find particularly attractive about a skin and must admit. . .I kinda like the thought of Vanish kissing me from one to the other to the other in some kind of twisted connect the dots game!  This skin would work just fine for that. (Now you know what to expect the next time I wear it, my love!)  Izzie’s skins also include a nail base glove for those of us that LOVE to wear prim nails.  That is something that I wish more creators would include or at the very least the RGB coordinates for skin color.  I HATE to take a pic and then realize that my fingernail tips are a different color from the rest of the hand! A nail base included with the skin makes it SO convenient, taking out the guess work.

Once again, thanks for taking the time to look at my blog, hope to see you ’round the grid.  Until then. . .
