A Tribute to Iki and Dutch Touch

DT skin JoLiE V2 Cream - Smokey

Yesterday evening my friend Kooky told me DT (Dutch Touch) will be closing. Arghhh that news hurted coz I've always loved that shop soooo much, hey it's part of me, of my SL. More than four years ago I bought my first outfit and moreover my first skin there. 

I've always loved Iki her skins, they are so well made and so sensual; not only a great face but also a super ass, belly and legs! 

So a tribute to Iki Ikarus the designer/owner of Dutch Touch! 

DT PiPPi (I have this outfit > 4 yrs) 

Wearing:
DT PiPPi outfit. After so many years I still love it. Look at those textures ... awesome!

Iki wrote on her blog: 

I 'll give up

I cannot fight all these 'Frankestein-skins' any longer that uses bits and pieces of my work without my permission all over again and again and again,...
It feels like competing myself.
Thank you to all who supported me over the years, the first few years building up DUTCH TOUCH were amazing and I will cherish this for ever!
Love to you all!!! (and the finger to the thieves)
DUTCH TOUCH will be open as long as I can afford to pay the monthly tiers. For clientsupport I'll be available at: iki@dutch-touch.composted by Iki Ikarus at 12:41 PM on Nov 22, 2011


So sad, I secretly hope for a miracle that will make Iki change her mind. 
But, if she won't I like to thank her for all the awesome skins and clothes she made over the past years!

Walk in the Park

I must admit it was a bit cold and I was shivering when doing this photo shoot in the snow yesterday evening. Initially I wanted to name this blog post '50 words for snow', named after the new cd of Kate Bush, but I couldn't find a decent Youtube movie to enclose, sooo 'Walk in the Park' it is; i.e. the name of the cute Pig undies I am wearing. 
The lovely striped shawl is a groupgift of BoHo HoBo, wow those colours. Join her group (no entrance fee) and do look around in her nice shop. 
Furthermore, I am wearing the bloody knee tattoo layer of Anymore ... going through the blogs last week it seems almost everybody stumbled and hurted their knees ^^
The cute belly piercing is also new and comes from Scrub.
Oh and those nice red boots are a part of the BDR outfit 'Baby It's Cold Outside', which I blogged a few days ago (luv them!)

Putin's kiss & four horsemen

Today something completely different; the title of this post refers to an intriguing documentary film I saw yesterday at the IDFA (International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam). I spent a day watching several screenings, but Putin's kiss was definitely my favorit! 
Synopsis:
Very impressive story about Marsha a 19-year-old girl in nowadays Russia who is already a Nashi commissar and spokesperson. She is ambitious and in no time she progressed to the very top of the organization, becoming the protégé of Russia's Minister of Youth. Up for election within Nashi Marsha loses to a candidate whose program is called “fighting the enemies of Russia,” and starts questioning her role in the movement by flirting with the opposition. Marsha soon get in trouble when “unknown perpetrators” attack the opposition leader Oleg Kashin, beating him almost to death.
After the screening there was a Q&A session with the director, Lise Birk Pedersen and Oleg Kashin, journalist/blogger and one of the characters in the documentary. Wow impressive.

I include the trailer. If you have the opportunity go and see it, you won't regret!

Another screening and also very impressing was 'Four Horsemen' by Ross Ashcroft. I give you the trailer and the synopsis of this documentary too. 

Synopsis:

We find ourselves in the era of consequences. The Western empire is showing signs of wear and tear, and the time has come for a thorough and close examination of neo-capitalism. Rather than condemning bankers, politicians, or the media, this film puts the entire system up for discussion. In a little over 90 minutes, 23 of the world's most important thinkers share their opinions on contemporary capitalism. We encounter a surprisingly large number of puzzling issues along the way. The documentary draws to a close with surprisingly simple solutions for reversing the deplorable state of our world; as the ecologist Satish Kumar says, "What is created by humans, can be changed by humans."

Yeah I know this has nothing to do with SL fashion, but hey sometimes RL stuff needs attention too and certainly the themes of both these documentaries. So enjoy ^^

Skin: Skintimate Andrea caramel GG
Hair: Salon de GLOW feat.Halcali nano in light blonde

Sora from Egoisme

I had seen the announcements and posters and was eager to know how this new skin would look on Dido. Sooo here I am presenting you my version of Sora from Egoisme, their new female Evian skin. I am wearing the pale no eyebrows option, combined with Evian vividtone Sora - eyesbrows cleavage layer (made more light by me). 
Yep, that's so nice about Vividtone; a new technique made to enhance the skin tone without the loss of detail. Vividtone is a tattoo layer. Here's what you do: you go into appearance mode, select the tattoo layer, click on color and use the slide to choose the desired color. Easy like that. 


I changed my Dido shape, coz the Sora lips are in my view enormous, but hey I am not a big sulky lips fan ^^. Sora is a far more mature skin and I must admit I really have to get used to it. It sure is different and that's nice, coz although everybody has a different shape it's fun to wear a skin that isn't mainstream.

Wow Mina is productive these days coz here's another of her hairs; this one is called Michelle and exclusively made for the Black Market collection (wearing DR06 and same MINA TKO hairbase). Not available in her mainstore but ONLY at The Black Market; a location where you can get great deals from all your fav stores at the same time, in one place. The Black Market will be open to the public starting November 13th!


[Penned] by  Pennelope Thiessam sent me a bloggers review pack containing a  blazer and a fatpack of tanks (wearing brown in the picture). I like the texture of the blazer, although the total picture is a bit dull. The tank again has nice texture and comes in many colours and in all layers.


Phew lot of text today.
