Secretary for the day

This look came about simply because I wanted to wear a system skirt and a monocle. Yes I know not my typical choices, but every once in a while I like to shake things up a bit.

I decided to go for a polished retro look which works well this system skirts in general. I think I ended up looking like a secretary who is too smart for the job she is stuck with. Which reminds me of my mom and how things were when she was just getting out of college, she graduated with a degree in Biology and the only jobs she could get in a lab was scrubbing test tubes. She passed on that and went into banking…go figure.

I even remembered to wear accessories this time around. I have an embaressingly large jewelry folder for someone who never remembers to wear it. I decided to go witht he earings the match the monocle and then the locket because well it looked good to me. I also have a ring on, but bad blogger I am I didn't get a good picture of it.

On March 17,2009 Ryker Beck brought her Eden skins to the grid. Among those released, Ryker included the Ginger and Juniper skin tones. It is rare to see an Asian and Nubian tone in world, and these are beautifully done.

The overall shading on the body is lovely, nothing harsh, of the two I have shown here, I think the Juniper is my favorite.

As for makeups, the Eden skins come in a variety of them. I have picked my favorites from these two tones to show here. Every skin has what I would call a smoky eyelash effect to them, which is nice for those of us who don't usually use prim lashes. The lips are beautifully done on each skin too and the lip colors are lovely. Many of the eyeshadows are a pretty glittery look, not overdone, very subtle.




For those who prefer pubic hair, the Eden skins offers it on clothing layers that is easily tinted to your liking.

Eden is available in 8 skin tones each with 20 makeups, and fatpacks are available
