First Skin in new .:Rio:. Line

I’m continuing the IC-Skins tradition of unique and distinctive faces — but pretty faces with near-perfect foundation shading. The first in this .:RIO:. line is Gia, available in several different makeup variations, as well as in the L.M. “light makeup” version:

IC-Skins Rio Gia Neutral

OPoT Playbill A Does she look familiar? She’s Winia reloaded with Rio’s base foundation.
“No, not in a previous skin context, you say?” Yup, she’s also the girl you saw onstage in the recent SL Shakespeare Company performance. For a while, she was code-named “Lucille,” which was the name I came up with in the fake movie poster I made ages ago of a first draft. (Whatever could the movie be about? It’s about an American girl in Paris who somehow ends up being a showgirl in the middle of an ice-skating rink. Crazy, huh!)

There’s also an “Avant Garde” variation with showgirl makeup (fake movie poster next):

UPDATED
Contact: Ina Centaur
July 4 2008

RFL Grand Finale Vendor Fair & 4-Sim Fashion Show

Skin City, Second Life: The “RFL Grand Finale Vendor Fair” opening on July 1st, and running until the end of Relay of Life on July 19th, features some of RFL 2008’s best fashions. An invitational “RFL Grand Finale Fashion Show” showcasing these RFL fashions live on the runway will occur on the Sky Globe 4-sim stage on 7/6 @ 1 PM and 7/7 @ 7PM SL Time (GMT-7). All proceeds of the event will benefit the American Cancer Society through the Relay for Life venture on Second Life. But, most interestingly, every single component of each outfit — from skin, to hair, to shoes, to eyes, to clothing, of course — is an RFL item.

The following fashion brands will have their RFL fashions shown live on the Sky Globe 4-sim runway:

Alienbear Designs
_AR Another Realism
Bailers
Bewitched
Enchant 3D
Eros by Keth
~flirt~
french Kisses
Haute Style & Co
House of Heart
IC-Skins
Magika
Mirada
Nicky Ree
Nova
Opium
PrimPlay
Sam’s Secret
Shiny Things
Tesla
Topaz Square

All fashions can be purchased directly in the Vendor Fair adjacent to the fashion show venue at the Sky Globe, Skin City.

ABOUT THE SKY GLOBE:
550 meters above the SL Globe Theatre, the Sky Globe is a postmodern architectural building spanning the intersection of 4 island simulators, with the stage on its own sim adjacent to three audience seating venues in neighboring island simulators:

ABOUT SKIN CITY
Since August 2007, Skin City has been the one-stop place to see a wide selection of skins, shapes, eyes, and other avatar accessories on SL. The build is grayscale based on Frank Miller’s Sin City (theatrical version), and only the various shops give it color. Visitors are told: Turn the right corner in Skin City, and you can find anything. Merchants are told: We are noir until you!

4-Sim RFL Fashion Show & Vendor Fair @ Skin City

Written by ina on Wednesday, 25 of June , 2008 at 11:55 pm
Tags: , ,

On behalf of RFL and fashion in Second Life, Skin City invites all
designers who have created items for RFL to participate in the RFL
Grand Finale 4-sim Fashion Show and Vendor Fair at Skin City and
vicinity.

The RFL Vendor Fair is open to the public from 7/1 to 7/14; designers
may start setting up in the metro region starting on 6/25. The RFL
Grand Finale Fashion Shows are on Sunday 7/6 @ 1 PM SL Time and Monday
7/7 @ 7 PM SL Time. Both events will have search parcels designated
shortly before they open. All designers are welcome to participate in
either or both events. Details below.

RFL Vendor Fair: The RFL Vendor Fair is meant to be a final display of
your RFL designs, and also as a small showcase of the non-RFL designs
you feel represent you the most. To participate in the vendor fair,
you must RSVP by 6/26 11:59 PM SL Time to Ina Minotaur by dropping off
a notecard named “RFL Vendor Fair: (Your Store / Name)” with ad photos
of all of your RFL items, and a rough minimum and maximum prim count
for your proposed store space. Space for the duration of the Fair is
donated by Skin City, and available on a first-come-first-serve-basis.

RFL Fashion Show on 4-Sims: This fashion show will be accessible to
the maximal amount of local audience members, and will be one last
chance for people to hype and rave about these RFL fashions live on
the runway. The only requirement is that each outfit must feature an
item on sale in an RFL vendor. To participate, please drop off a
notecard named “RFL Fashion Show: (Your Store / Name)” to Ina Minotaur
by 6/27 11:59 PM with:

1)       a specific outline of the exact outfit combination(s) you would
want the model(s) to wear—be sure to indicate which outfit item is an
RFL item, and also, if you don’t have preferences for non-RFL outfit
components, please state so. Do NOT drop outfit inventories on Ina
Minotaur.  You will be given more information after processing. You
must show a different RFL item on each model, but there is no explicit
limit on how many models you can clog up ;-)
2)      a brief biography about you/your store. LM’s, blog links, and other
information also welcome. Optionally, you may also include exact item
descriptions for the MC to announce.
3)      specify whether you would want to be included in the fashion show
machinima to be distributed for free inworld, and also on youtube,
blip.tv, google videos, and similar media.

The show is pro bono for RFL.

Here is a LM that gets you close to the event location. An exact parcel
will be segmented out when the fair and show open:
