Just a quickie -- stopped in at LF Chai last night and was randomly awarded a gift card, so I bought all the demos in the palest color and TPed home to try them out.  I finally decided on this one, Lily:

Lily, Tone 01, Chai Skin

I'll need to live with it a bit to see if it works for me.  Right now I'm thinking it's a bit too innocent-looking; I think it's the cheeks.  I don't tweak my shape to go with skins, if the skins don't look right, I don't wear them.  I kind of like this one, though. 

A casual look for hanging out with Amaya last night at Owokun Meditation Island:

The first skin I ever bought was a Charmed skin from Celestial Studios, and I've been true to those skins for my entire SLife.  I tried on all of the auburn make-ups and bought several at full price, then when they had a sale awhile back, I tried them all on again and bought the rest of them.  For awhile I tried on other skins, but I never liked any of them as much as I liked my Charmed ones, so I stopped even trying on any others, even free ones.

Then for some reason a couple of weeks ago I was poking around in my inventory and ran across a folder of skins from Peppermint Blue.  I tried them on, and I'm kind of in love with this one.  It's called "Another TA-L#1 Skin_RedThin_Party Red.  I kept looking at myself in it, thinking I looked like someone, but couldn't figure out who.  I finally figured out that it's the sister-in-law on "Jon and Kate Plus 8."  The redheaded sister-in-law that babysits the kids sometimes.  {shrug}
