[One would have to live under a prim rock to not know who Celebrity Trollop is. Longtime owner of Second Style Fashionista, Celebrity set the gold standard for quality in blogging, magazines, fashion shows and more. She is a Second Life icon, and I was thrilled beyond words when she not only agreed to pose for us, but also to take her own pictures. Originally featured by Justine Babii in August of 2007, it is an honor to present her for the 12 Days of Post 6. ~Timothy Morpork]
Although I enjoy Christmas a lot, my favorite (US) holiday is Thanksgiving. I guess maybe turkey and pilgrim themed lingerie really isn't as exciting as the Christmas themed stuff?
Anyway, I've noticed a trend that is pretty cool (or pretty disturbing) depending on your point of view. Over the time that I've been in Second Life, skin quality has grown in quality and in quantity. It remains one of the most technically demanding creations in Second Life, mapping the realism onto a body morph which is (charitably) challenging to do well and manage distortion on.
But everything has gotten more realistic and the quality has improved perhaps a hundred fold over three years ago. The price of skins has remained relatively the same though. They tend to cost around L$1000 per skin, with multiple skin packs being sold for less (sometimes for 25-50% off the single skin price.)
Special thanks to the builders of the Merry Christmas sim (2nd and 3rd shot set), AM Radio (1st shot set) and Hunain Bellic of HUZ Tats for the quick turnaround and fun creativity in the tattoos worn in the 2nd and 3rd shots.

2 good pictures, and the last one not so good. You have a very pretty avatar, but the avatar mesh will not look good in certain poses. Photoshop it, or use other poses, or just shrug and ignore it. It's a part of SL after all... crappy mesh. We have to live with it. Merry Christmas!

We wouldn't have to deal with the crappy mesh if linden would get around to changing it. It's totally possible for them to change the mesh with an update and add new sliders. It might break everyone's shapes but is that such a bad thing in exchange for new improved shapes? Nice photos. Lol @Timothy, glad he didn't have to take them!

If your such a fashion icon why do you look like hell? No wonder so many girls out there are as boring as hell. And lay off the tan skin I can barely see any body lines.
Pretty unimaginative overall. The av and photos rate a D-
