SPIRIT Skins 2.0 are HERE with Freebies!

Introducing the new, most photorealistic skin collection yet from SPIRIT...SPIRIT Skins 2.0! This first of two releases features Juliet and Giselle. While all SPIRIT Skins 2.0 share the same new body with photosourced skin base and details plus hand painted shading and highlights, each face has its own unique characteristics.

Juliet offers the more refined model look, with carefully shaped eyebrows, a streamlined nose profile, and glossy lips.

Giselle gives a more natural girl-next-door look with naturally shaped eyebrows, a slightly broader nose shape, and a hint of a smile at the corners of her lips.

Look for 2 additional faces, Torrance and Missy, to be added next month as well.

All SPIRIT Skins 2.0 are available in six skin tones (Lightest, Light, Light Medium, Medium Dark, Dark, and Darkest), come with an eyebrow shape and 5 color changeable pubic hair options on underwear layers, include freckled versions with every makeup, and are currently available in the following 18 fall makeups...
**Cat Shaped Eyeliner: Cranberry Nude, Plum Pink, Teal Rose, Twilight Crimson, Ivy Magenta, Autumn Wine

**Medium Eyeliner: Cranberry Nude, Plum Pink, Teal Rose, Twilight Crimson, Ivy Magenta, Autumn Wine

**Smoky Eyes: Smoky Nude, Smoky Pink, Smoky Rose, Smoky Crimson, Smoky Magenta, Smoky Wine

One free fall makeup is now available in every skin tone for both faces from the large posters in the SPIRIT Skins building (12 free skins total).

Join the SPIRIT group (kiosk at the SPIRIT store landing point, and it doesn't even use up one of your SL group slots or spam you with group chatter!), and you'll also receive the freckled versions of the Giselle freebie fall makeup! Be sure to try one of these free skins before purchasing a SPIRIT Skins 2.0 to make sure the face style works with your shape. All SPIRIT Skins 2.0 are no mod/copy/no transfer, so all purchases are non refundable and can't be exchanged. IM SavannahAnn McMillan before purchasing if you would like to send a SPIRIT Skin as a gift.

Huge New In the Zone Pro Cheer Uniform Collection Release!

The wait is over! After a year, SPIRIT's In the Zone Pro Cheer Mix n Match Uniform Collection still remains among our best sellers. So to celebrate this week's start of the NFL football season, we've decided to give you even more designs in the collection to choose from, this time with sculpted details and updated footwear! Also available are several items for $1 each. Below are the ads and details...


Scripted Flexi Skirts - Includes satin ruffles flexi skirt with unscripted and SmartSkirt scripted versions (so you can walk, run, stand, and sit pretty), plus the skirt base comes with built in underwear on the pants and underwear layers, or without underwear on the jacket layer.

Long Sleeved Crop Tops - Features rhinestones and hand painted details at the cleavage and on the figure flattering full satin sleeves.

Team Windsuits - Comes with pants and jacket with two collar options (up or flipped down), plus sculpted collar and pant cuffs.


3 Quarter Length Sleeve Tops - Comes on jacket, shirt and undershirt layers. Features handpainted details at the cleavage, rhinestone trim, and semi-transparent 3 quarter length sleeves.

Cropped Tied Jerseys - Comes on jacket, shirt, and undershirt layers, plus sculpted tie.

Striped V-Waist Shorts - Comes on pants and underwear layers.

Pro Spirit 3.0 Sculpted Boots - Knee high boots includes resizable scripted sculpted uppers in 3 sizes, plus sculpted foot parts for size 0 feet. Made of soft leather with a subtle sheen and long zippers on the insides of each calf, plus thick heels for maximum balance while dancing and cheering.

Also spread throughout the In the Zone collection are the following dollarbie items for just $1L each:

And finally, the SPIRIT store has been redesigned. Don't worry, the football stadium is still there containing all the cheer animations and poses, and so is the main part of the dance theater and stage. But the maze-like backstage dressing rooms have been removed, replaced with just one dressing room on the left side containing the ballet and dance animations and poses. All the other items are now arranged by category in small shops with signs over the awnings, with reduced-price skins and a brand new SPIRIT Living collection of sculpted cheer/dance themed furnishings in the center of the courtyard. Hopefully this will reduce lag and make everything much easier to find. :)

We will have 3 sections to the audition process, and we will make our final decision by July 31, 2008. Also attached is a breakdown of dates and an application.

Thank you for the review, Stella!

Spring '08 Ballet Collection Boots & Slippers Review!

SQUEEE! I just received my first ever shoe (technically boot and ballet slipper) review! Understand, dear blog readers, that I am not a huge collector of shoes in real life. I tend to lean towards the classics and wear them for five years before replacing them, lol. So it was with a little trepidation that I decided to go a bit "out there" for me and design the Ballet Boots for the spring collection. Bear in mind too, these boots weren't based on anything I'd seen in SL or the real world either...they were completely from my imagination. Always a tad riskier when you're putting yourself on the line like this.

Once the boots were completed, it was with even greater nerves that I sent a review kit to Anessa Stine, reviewer of footwear at On Your Toes.

And...she liked them! Please be sure to check out pics of Anessa indulging in some extreme girliness as she shows off several pairs of the Ballet Boots with casual clothing, AND one of the Ballet Class Outfits, AND one of the Corset/Tutu Sets, in her review here!!!!

THANK YOU ANESSA for the great review!
