Another Fundraiser Skins

There are very of us who follow fashion that could still be unaware of Eloh Eliot's generosity in releasing her skin files into the world. [I call them "free range" skins ;)]

And I hope that few are unaware of the Another Fundraiser going on at the moment, where wonderful skins based on Eloh's designs are being sold for L$ 50 each to raise money for UNICEF.

The first time I dropped by the sim I over heard an avi say" What would I do with 144 skins?" The answer is what could UNICEF do to help the world's children with the approximately $24 US that those 144 skins would cost. I didn't buy the whole set, but I did find 7 to take home and try -- here are four of them to show you that I thought made a nice contrasting set and a fair example of the variety available out there. Kudos to everyone involved in the project, but special thanks to Sasy Scarborough.

Below is a sampling of what's on offer. I am wearing ETD's Hermia hairstyle in 3 of the pictures -- not my normal choice, but I wanted to show the forehead and eyes more clearly than my usual bangs allow. The colors are platinum burnt, smoke faded and auburn burnt. In the other pictures I am wearing ETD Eglantine in black frosted.


On the left is Nuclear Boutique's "Candy", then Caliah Lyons' "Celestine", next Tigerlily Koi's Jaded in Nude and FINALLY a specialty skin from Justyna Lundquist of J7L Designs. The tattoos weren't rezzing for me this morning, but they ARE very sharp and well done.

Then on a revisit I found the skin I am sure I will actually wear quite a lot, Dark Angel, by Shani Fayray. Again I am wearing Eglantine in black frosted. The jewelry set in all pictures is Second Mirage's Ingrid, an advent calendar gift.

All in a good cause! Another Fundraiser skins from Aphrodite Outlander

My friend and content creator, Aphrodite Outlander is participating in the 'Another Fundraiser’ for UNICEF, in which variations on the wonderful "free range" skins of Eloh Eliot's Another Shop are transformed for the benefit of children in need throughout the world.Aphrodite was kind enough to give me a sneak preview of her transformations. Here I model two of them. On the left the fundraiser-scarlet and on the right the fundraiser-cerise.

Both of these skins are eminently wearable. Aphrodite was particularly interested in how they would look on my avi as I my lips are thinner than those of the average SL avi. My verdict is that they look fine! These skins, which she will sell as a fundraiser for UNICEF, are eminently wearable independent of any warm fuzzies one might feel contributing to a worthy cause. The skins are also available in Baisque, Gold and Red Delight.

In both picture I am wearing the rainbow fantasy eyes from Beauty Raine's. On the left my hair is Emily in Strawberry Burnt from ETD. On the right it is Maaliyah in Fire Burnt, also from ETD.
