Zoe & Zach

Zoe - the name just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?  It's the Zed, I say... or the Zee... it's just a luscious start to the name... speaking of luscious, look at those lips - perfect pout, and such glossy red lipstick... gorgeousness, right?  Such a pretty chin, delicate facial features, and I love the definition of her belly, the rise of her shoulders and the shape of her collar bones, too.  I love the way Sophia can give a slender shape such well defined curves, she really does have the midas touch with her designs.

Wow, isn't Zach just something?  Facially more mature than many of the pretty twenty something guys everywhere in SL, he's also toned and wonderfully fit, without being muscle bound or disproportional.  I love the lines of those muscles all down his torso, and the cords to the muscles in his legs - gawd, I can feel that body against mine, and that smoldering gaze... *yum*



Take the time to drop into Sophistishapes, Sophia does wonderful things with avatars, and you deserve to have the very best, too

Till next time,

Love

Make Him Over Hunt

Sophistishapes is participating in the upcoming Make Him Over Hunt, starting 1st April, and is offering the luscious Anton shape and style card as a prize:

Anton was released two months ago, and had me at hello lol.  You can see his original release at: http://sophiarossen.blogspot.com/2010/01/marcus-and-anton-boys-are-back-in-town.html

 As I said back then, and still today, he has a wonderful look, and a lush, lean body.

 

You can find full details of the hunt in store - there's a group joiner there, too.

Sophistishapes is one of Second Life's leading shape and styling store, dipping into Sophia Rossens experience with creating truly stunning avatars for premiere sims - she has a natural flair and eye for bringing out the most in the skins she chooses to work with, making absolutely beautiful creations with skins from top stores like Bellaza, Tuli, League and many others.  Each offering is completely polished, with a style card detailing exactly what you need to get the results seen on the posters - and the results, compared to the skin on a shape that wasn't created especially for it, are completely breathtaking.  Come on down, join the hunt - or girls, get the man in your life to grab this while it's free - and cast an eye over the range too - you could be surprised by what you find.

Till next time,

Love

Clarisse & Henri

Wow!!  I'm wearing Clarisse as we speak, and she's a knockout - she feels curvier than my previous favourite, Rose, and is just ultra ultra gorgeous.  She has lovely cheekbones, and the chin and lips are just about the most perfect I've seen in SL.  Love your work, Sophia :)
I'll pop in a couple of shots of her 'my way' to show you even more of just how good she looks in world:

Next up, we have Henri, tall, dark, and lusciously hand- some, I can think of ten things I'd like to do to him *right* now and none of them are suitable for putting on a blog.  I love that Sophia can put together such stunningly attractive men AND women - can you imagine how Second Life would look  if she'd been responsible for the startup avatars??


Guys, girls (and the indecisive 'other's) come on down and take a look at Sophistishapes and have a browse - there really is something for everyone, and the range keeps on getting better

Till next time,

Ophelie & Edward

Where to start with Ophelie??  She has almost porcelain skin on a frame that just screams out European - I think she's just gorgeous.  For those that don't know Sophistishapes, or Sophia Rossen's 'credentials' for shape design, her formative years in Second Life were spent at one of the very foremost beach playgrounds, a place where looks weren't everything, but boy were they something... from there, it became apparent that she had a real flair for avatar design - matching stunning skins to her custom shapes and coming up with something that quite often takes the breath away from the people who see them - fast forward to today, and here's Ophelie, the latest in a successive line of luscious shapes and style cards that let you look like a million dollars, for only a handful of Lindens. 

Oh dear - Edward.  Ed-ward.  Can we say that name without seeing the slighty vapid doe eyed trans-lation of a vampire that hollywood forced upon us?  If not, you're about to have a real treat, Sophistishapes Edward is all man, his athletic build is a real stand out amongst so many of the macho men in SL - lovely detail to his body lets the skin absolutely shine.  Guys,  I know, statistically you're not the biggest spenders in Second Life, but a shape and skin like this is an investment in your avatar - a one stop solution to getting yourself to the point where your personality can get through the nice solid walls us girls put up after 'Hi' :)

So come on, spoil yourself, head on down to Sophistishapes and have a browse - there really is something for everyone, and the line just gets better and better

Till next time,

Love

Gwen and Jules (and don't forget your freebie!!)

Look at those lips!  Yet again Sophistishapes has put an absolutely amazing skin and shape combo together, I love the eyes, the line of the jaw, the definition to the belly, but my god, those lips - I'm a little scared to try this one on, I'll wanna kiss myself all the time.  And actually, that's all part of it, isn't it?  Haven't you sat, looking at your avatar, thinking "yesssss, I look good?"  I was actually part of a conversation about that, the other day, how someone spends most of their time logged in, chatting to friends, with themselves on the screen, watching their avi.  Sophistishapes specialises in giving you a truly breathtaking look for your avatar, the shape, skin, hair and eyes are all put together with an eye to a beautiful finish.  Finishing touches even include optional things like eyelashes, carefully matched and fitted to each shape and skin in the Sophistishapes range by Talon Faire

The boys aren't left out at Sophistishapes, either, there's a wide range of wonderful shapes and styles to choose from, and Jules is the latest - to my eye Jules is a little younger than many of the men of Sophistishapes, but none less gorgeous for that at all... and just imagine the stamina this lad would have!  (Jess drifts off for a few minutes of stamina filled thoughts)


OK, so you get the picture... well, I do, lol... god, what a picture - so, yeah - guys - go get him - girls, go get your guy in him - the money you spend on a Sophistishapes shape *really* is an investment in your avatar


Only a few days are left in the 'Every Rose' hunt, so you only have till the 28th of February to pick up the luscious Belle shape for free:

Come down to the store for full details - don't miss out on Belle for free, she's a beauty in her own right:

Ross, Meilin, and a hot free shape...

 

Look at those eyes - and that chin... not to mention the lips... *sigh* - yet again, I'm having impure thoughts about a Sophistishapes shape.  Really impure.  If they get any more impure I think my brain will end up pregnant.  (Hmmmm, I wouldn't mind some pickles, maybe it already is???  OMG, scary thought - can your brain get pregnant from that?)  You know, girls, you could do a lot worse than getting your guy into Ross's shape and skin for Valentines Day - and hey, if it doesn't work out there'll be one more Ross out there for me to play with :)

 

Meilin - even the name conjures a slender, willowy asian girl - almost exactly the build I see here - except the name doesn't *quite* get to the exotic eastern beauty that Sophia has gifted Meilin with. I often find it very impressive that I hear the name, and have an 'image' that goes with it, and then find the shape Sophia has put together for it matches :)

So there are the two new releases... one post, all finished... what's that?  You want to know about mumble mumble??  oooooooh... the free shape??? :)  Sophistishapes is in the 'Every Rose' hunt:

Come down to the store for full details - the prize is the luscious Belle shape:

 

 I've worn Belle, she's a gorgeously long legged brunette - well worth the time you'll invest in hunting her down in the store - Sophia assures me she's not *too* hard to find :)

Taylor & Grace

/me whimpers... O. M. G.  - Sophia's at it again, she's making bad boys... I *know* Taylor's gonna be trouble, he's gonna drive his car too fast, be irresistable and flirt with all my friends... he'll make my mother go week at the knees by turning up in a suit when he meets her then do wicked things to me under the table at the restaurant... but I don't care.  He's gorgeous.  One 'how about it, babe' and I'll be either wandering out of a club with him, or possibly just into a dark corner to be completely taken advantage of.  Several times, hopefully.  Yes, this is my type of guy.  I want to rezz him straight onto my couch, right now, and save all the mucking around circling each other with smouldering eyes and wanton glances.

Hmmmm... I don't know about Grace... sure... she's sexy... hot... the dusky skin and sexy eyes *do* do it for me... she just looks like she'd be the one slinking off with Taylor behind my back.  Oh, hang on - heh - a quick trip to Sophistishapes and I can *be* her... I keep forgetting that... I bet if I look like Grace I can pick up a dozen Taylors *giggles*  Seriously - if your avi doesn't already look THIS good, come to Sophistishapes and take a look at what there is - there really is an avatar for everyone there - and if there isn't one for you, IM Sophia and talk to her about customs - she's *that* good :)

I'll leave you with one more shot of a Sophistishapes shape out in the 'real' world - here's Maria dressed up to party:

Enya & Rose

Gorgeousness again abounds as Sophistishapes launch two luscious new girls, Enya & Rose.  It's no secret I'm very impressed with the magic Sophia creates when she makes her shapes - but I actually already HAVE the fatpack of one of the skins she's used here, and didn't recognise it - it looks *that* different on the shape she's created for it.  When you think about that, it's no wonder she's an official shape designer for Belleza - they both do exceptional work in their field.

Enya is another dark haired beauty - I've started to find a real affinity with what Sophistishapes offers in dark haired styling - and it's a real makeover for me from months of blonde.  Sophia uses all her skills in style and design to make a really complete, rounded Avatar to be proud to be seen wearing.  Wear the shape, follow the style card for the skin, hair, eyes etc and you're ready to go.

Rose takes us back to the lovely blondes - take a look at the smooth curve to her chin - it's a signature of Sophia's that she goes through and takes out the harsh angles SL can give with it's 3D shaping.  You can be absolutely sure of any product you buy from Sophistishapes, the effort put into every offering is spot on.

Take the time to drop into the store and look over the whole range: Click here to TP to Sophistishapes
- there's bound to be a look to suit you.

P.S.  There's also a stunning range of pre-fitted eyelashes created by Talon Faire available for each Sophistishapes shape - take the headache out of stunning eyelashes and give your avi a makeover in one easy step - just come to the store and check the range :)

A day in the life of Maria... (Pt. 1)

I mentioned to Sophia that people might be interested in seeing some of her shapes out 'in the real (second) world' - so here's the first in a random series of shots with 'A day in the life of''.  I've started with Maria 'cos she's my everyday shape - dressed here in a collection of pieces from Aoharu and Bax ankle boots.

A Sophistishapes shape and style card really is a one stop solution to looking good in SL - leaving it up to you to add your own choice of clothing for a final look.  The Cami Tank set below is from W.O.E. - lovely stuff, simple yet stunning for a day in the sun:

 

One last shot, taken in my studio, to show you the detail in the face for Maria.  Sophia does a brilliant job of bringing every skin she works with completely to life:

Marcus and Anton - The boys are back in town

Mmmmmm, eye candy for Jess - I *so* love getting new guys from Sophia :)  I've gotta admit though, out of these two, Anton definitely has me - he's just got the bad boy come nice guy look that tantalises - not to mention a lush, lean frame, gorgeous hair and lovely eyes.  Sophistishapes is really getting a great catalogue with a broad variety of shapes and styles for guys and girls - and if you really can't find anything you like, contact Sophia, she does wonderful customs, too.

 

Just look at the gorgeous body art on Anton - such a dream of a man.  I love the fact that all of Sophistishapes shapes offer excellent shape and definition without being musclebound - I haven't seen one of Sophia's Avi's that I wouldn't happily drag off to bed - or maybe even just the floor in front of the sofa. *giggles* 

Sophistishapes is an official supplier of shapes to suit Belleza's skins - you can see a range in the Belleza store - so you can be absolutely assured that you're getting a top notch shape everytime - Sophia's grounding in shape, form, and making a stunning avatar in Second Life is spot on.

Now, who'd like a free Sophistishape shape and styling card package??  Sophistishapes is participating in the Forbidden Fruit hunt - and Chloe, pictured here, is the reward for finding the fruit.

Rebecca, Willow, and Chloe for free...

Sophia has been at it again, bringing out two new stunners, Rebecca, a luscious red head, and Willow, a beautiful blonde.  As always, these new releases from Sophistishapes come with shapes for everyday wear and a 'skirt' edition, fully modifiable, plus a styling card giving you the details on making your avatar look as good as the image you see.  Sophia creates a perfectly matched shape to the skins she works with, to give a result that's second to none.

 

As you can see, Sophia puts a lot of effort into making sure the lines all work - no sharp edges to the curves, no improbable bulges - the shape you get will be lush and feminine, and matched impeccably to the skin it's designed for.  A range of additional prefitted eyelashes in collaboration with Talon Faire allow you to add custom features to your Sophistishape shape.

Have a Happy New (Oh) Yeah!!

Well, if Christmas didn't bring you all you wanted, let Sophistishapes make sure you start 2010 off on the right foot with Kane and Belle, two of Sophia's best offerings yet.

Kane, as you can see, is just luscious - lovely muscle definition and form without being a hulking lumpy body builder, striking eyes, a beautiful strong chin and such kissable lips.  I'm pretty sure if you look up 'hot guy' in the SL dictionary, you'll find a pic of Kane *right* there.

Belle's another stunner from Sophistishapes - I *must* admit she hasn't managed to shift me from my addiction to Maria, but I HAVE met someone wearing Belle in SL, and she is gorgeous.  I love Sophia's attention to detail with all her shapes, and Belle is another example of just how well she does her magic.

It's not just the effort in the shapes though - it's also how she manages to absolutely make the most from each skin she ties them in with - everytime there's a new release, I find it hard to find anything that could really be improved - as a stylist, her work is just incredible.  This is also reflected in the recent news of Sophistishapes collaboration with Belleza - Tricky has been doing incredible things with skins and now Sophia is creating wonderful alternate shapes to work with them.  When you find two names both of whom are at the top of their fields working together, amazing things happen.

Talon Faire has also produced a range of eyelashes that are pre-fitted to your favourite Sophistishapes shape - forget all the mucking around making a prim fit properly, these babies fit first time, every time, and give you the long, lush look you've been craving.  I have, in my time in Second Life, got quite good at editing where things sit, but I've gotta say it's worth *every* linden cent to be able to just put 'em straight on.

So, here we are... it's two thousand and ten... twenty ten??  The 'Tenties??  The Ten's?? hmmmmm, what ever you call it, it's a new year - maybe it's time for a new look, too - guys, girls, come on down to Sophistishapes, Sophia has something for everyone.

'Made to Fit' prim lashes - Sophistishapes and Talon Faire

Prim lashes - the scourge of Second Life, right??  I mean so many of us have tried them, struggled for hours to get them to fit, and given up, screaming with frustration.  They DO look good though, don't they?  If only there was an easy way to fit them to your avi and get the results you see above - well, here's the kicker, now you can... :)

Sophistishapes and Talon Faire have got together to give you the ideal solution to stunning eyelashes - Talon Faire, known throughout the lands of Second Life for high quality lashes has pre-fitted a range of beautiful eyelashes to the shapes from Sophistishapes - you can be sure they'll have the perfect fit, first time, every time.

Up until now, I'd found lashes made for lovely photo's, as long as I kept straight on to not show the fiasco I'd made, fitting them, but next to useless for everyday wear - these, laid down by an expert in the field, are just wonderful.  You get three beautiful sets tailor made to suit your preffered Sophistishape shape, and they work in with the recommended skin so well, too.

Having worn Lily and Maria for quite a while, I'd thought there wasn't much I could do to improve them - these lashes are just the most brilliant finishing touch to an already polished package.  Well done, Talon Faire and Sophistishapes - another great idea :)

Drop on down to Sophistishapes and take a look at the range of lashes available - they're nothing but impressive!
