There’s a group of designers in Second Life who have such a fun, iconoclastic personal style that I can’t help but follow their latest creations, and elka Lehane definitely fits into that group.

Update: What happened to Couture Isle?

Monday, April 24th, 2006

Update 2: Elika writes in her blog:

Nyte’s been known to say that she’s no builder, but her texturing expertise is what makes the build amazing. The details like shadows, highlights, and color is what makes the build what it is. My hats off to her, because I would have never ever been able to accomplish [...]

Wow! Miao and Pixies, an awesome combination

I am hopelessly, helplessly addicted to skins, and this weekend was just one delight after another. Let me start with this superlative combination from Canimal.
