One of the absolute highlights of the Skin and Shape Expo (SLURL) this year is the latest release from Imagen (SLURL). Rack Brautigan has updated her skins with lovely new bodies. I am on a constant quest for freckled perfection and the Irene face from Imagen has always been one of my favorites. Irene is perfect for redheads or anyone else with a love of freckles.

There are more new releases from Imagen at the Skin and Shape Expo, including a male skin. Don’t forget to check out the Expo before it’s over, on the 10th of October – you just might find something that suits you perfectly!

When I saw the new loose sweater from Arai (SLURL), I knew I had to have it. Arai is a men’s clothing store. In RL, wearing men’s clothing is easy, but the nature of prim attachments in SL often means pieces need fine tuning. I shrank the prim sleeves and body to fit, made sure I was wearing the shirt layer to make the sweater loose, and put together an outfit. With my favorite pair of Zaara (SLURL) jeans and Slanted Fox (SLURL) sneakers, I was comfortably dressed.

The girly accessories from Yummy (SLURL) and Scribble (SLURL) softened the masculine look, making it seem like I just stole my boyfriend’s sweater before heading out. Let’s just hope he doesn’t remember all the band t-shirts I already “borrowed”!

Creator’s Pavillion (SLURL) has a new neighbor, the recently opened Switch (SLURL) sim. Switch is home to the mainstores of Niniko and Arai. Both sims are full of quality Japanese stores and well worth visiting. There’s even more incentive to check them out right now, as many stores on Switch are offering freebies to celebrate the sim opening. Be sure to visit Creator’s Pavillion as well, though, because there are some great freebie finds there, too!
