Calla have just blogged about their latest skin releases and by heck they’re good. I’m *very* picky about the skin that I am in. The majority of last year saw me in the very first skin I ever bought, from Naughty designs. I blogged about it on here that it felt wrong to change my skin and I wasn’t going to do it..then I realised that I was talking from betwixt my perfectly formed buttocks. I’ve come to realise that the very best skins don’t actually change my appearance that much, but enhance it in different ways..and with all the make up options that are available I’d be plain stupid to not even consider it. So I now have skins from lots of places- Artilleri, Total Betty, RaC..etc. The question is should I add Calla to that list? Having never tried a Calla skin before I was eager to try out the demos that Tigerlily Koi had sent me, and they are very nice indeed. One of the most striking facial features are the lips, which have been created with a lovely deep shine in the bottom centre that looks great, and when smiling the teeth look good (trust me, this is important. Some skins I own that are absolutely wonderful look absolutely shite when I do a wide grin) In particular I’m very impressed with the blood red lips option.I prefer red lipstick above any other colour and on this skin they look absolutely tantalising:) But it’s not just about the mush, it’s also the shading on the chops and the eyeshadow options – the overall ‘feel’ of the face that make for a good skin, and this does well on all counts. The eyeshadow options are lovely, and one particular feature that I really love is the little mole…as someone with more than her fair shair of moles on her chops in RL (when I was a little girl I thought they represented constellations, as you do..I’ve always been prone to fanciful ideas!) I liked seeing a skin with one, it adds some authenticity, and a touch of class. Lighting has been worked into the texture of the skin in a very professional way, highlighting areas like the wee dimple above the top lip to perfection, and the nose and nostril shaping are equally good. Behind closed doors (in other words, nekkid) the body detailing on this skin is sublime. Great shading and toning on areas like the shoulder blades and butt. The ‘lady garden’ area is neat and the boobs are fine, although I do think all skin makers should include prim nipples as part of the package please. ( I know that sounds bizarre, but if you ask me you need them for naked moments-and if they’re part of the skin you can bet that the tone on them will be perfect. Buying them separately is a bit of a pain..and before you say anything else *I know* I could be less lazy and make my own but hey, this is me you’re talking to!) Downside to this skin? well, picky mare that I am I didn’t like the eyebrows..I like mine to have a tad more ‘oomph’, but not in a Dennis Healey way (Old-school Labour politician, hairiest eyebrows this side of Jupiter)Wearing this skin was a huge amount of fun because I picked a more tanned skin tone than I normally wear and do you know it looked *amazing*…I’d only picked the darker colour out of sheer devilment (out for a drink and a natter with my Dad) but he even said it looked great, and Dad doesn’t do compliments easily (My nickname for my Dad in RL is ‘Miserable Scottish Git’ because, well he is. But he’s *MY* MSG so that’s all that matters:) However, as much as he liked the skin he didn’t like the tattoos I was wearing…pffffttt ( Stop laughing at the elderly you meany!) Anyway, the skin I am wearing is:‘Calla Evening glow lined blood red Cindy’  I’ve not ventured over to Calla yet to check out the prices etc, and the prices aren’t up on the Callatropia blog , but I am sorely tempted by the skin you see in the picture here..so, what do you think?
