Mystic Sky

Befitting its name, floating up high, Mystic Sky is a beautiful new store by Skyler John full of enchanting Medieval gowns.

I had an opportunity to throw a few questions towards designer Skyler John so she can share a bit of herself with us.

Strawberry Singh: I see you have been a resident since August 2007, is this your first time designing?
Skyler John: This is my first time designing ‘clothing’. I also design furniture.

Strawberry Singh: Are your designs hand drawn?
Skyler John: My designs are I would say 96% hand drawn and all are original designs. I’m very picky with the textures that I create, I like them to have depth and to feel real.

Strawberry Singh: Do you have a creative background or any graphic design experience?
Skyler John: yes I do. I went to school for graphic design, photography and printing. I have a fond love of graphics, sl is the perfect creative outlet.

Strawberry Singh: So what inspired you to create these wonderful medieval designs?
Skyler John: Well I enjoy Medeival roleplay. I was searching for different gowns to wear and found some beautiful ones but not many which didnt give much of a choice. So I decided to try designing a gown. I wanted to make it feel real and dramatic so I worked on the wrinkles (smiles), the Ella gown was my first. After that I got really excited and decided to keep going.

Strawberry Singh: I’m glad you did, they are very pretty.
Skyler John: I just like doing this alot and I really enjoy seeing people wear them.

Mystic Sky’s official grand opening was last night and Skyler has opened up with a big bang! She has a wide variety of gowns already on display, along with an adorable fairy outfit. The current lucky chair gown is the Ella Gown in Lavendar and she has a a freebie flower headdress to match the gown on the front table.

So take the slurl and come see this beautiful store for yourself.

My favorite face!

No, it’s not my own face that’s my favorite, but in fact it is the face of the new skin “Forest” by Iki Ikarus of Dutch Touch. As soon as I put this skin on, I absolutely fell in love with the face. No skin has ever struck me like this before.

Each makeup comes with two brow options: black and brown, two options for lips and also two options for pubes: shaved and not shaved. I normally don’t blog skins, but this one has become one of my most favorites. I’m also in love with the hands. They are sheer perfection, the nails are just spectacular.

If you haven’t tried this perfectly seamless skin, I suggest you go down to Dutch Touch now and pick up a demo.
