steveEkatos says guilty if you try the skins actually really good quality
steveEkatos says my photo work yes lol
steveEkatos says thks for checkin out blog
evie lol
steveEkatos says what you think about bike i built at bottom
steveEkatos says part of new iron maiden series im releasing
evie First advise I can give you for making ads for skins. DON'T USE MORPHS! Hahaha
steveEkatos says ah their not morphs
evie ::Plurk Frontpage Promotion::
steveEkatos says thats real skin
steveEkatos says i promise though not morphs
evie yes but the hair is real life hair
steveEkatos says true
steveEkatos says most skin places in sl use real hair though
Scarlet Yeah, but it's combined with a real picture so it would be considering morphing :/
steveEkatos says well if i was selling the hair it would be
evie you mean some. Not most
steveEkatos says but in this case just skin
steveEkatos says :-)
steveEkatos says no actually most
#m'Alice says yeah, no morphs! I feel like if i edit the product in ANY way for the main display ad, that's misrepresentation.
steveEkatos says either they use real hair or brush the hair on photoshop
evie If you say so lol
steveEkatos says why i have demos in store to try
Scarlet There is some amazing hair in SL though! And if you use SL hair it's easier for people to see how it would really look in SL :-D
#m'Alice says It's like okay... does your skin look that bad that you need to edit your pic to make it look good? I wanna see what it's like in SL,
#m'Alice says with SL stuff.
steveEkatos says but I understand how you feel too
evie If I'm being honest with you. That ad doesn't make me want to shop there. I'm sure the actual skin is nice, but in my opinion, the pic
evie doesn't show how good it could be
steveEkatos says if I was selling hair i would think it was misrepresenting
steveEkatos says but fact is im selling the skin
steveEkatos says and skin is 100 percent real no editing
evie mechadollie: (LOL)
evie I should hope so
steveEkatos says interesting debate though my friend
steveEkatos says :-)
evie and I've been to ALOT of skin stores (just look at the blogging second life blog) and not all use rl hair
steveEkatos says not all but most I've been to alot too and their either done in photoshop with brushes or real hair trust me
steveEkatos says lol that name sounds familiar
#m'Alice says oh, i've seen it a lot too, and honestly, it doesn't make me want to shop there. usually if i do try something on, it's not that great too
#m'Alice says THAT SAID. i don't mind it if you wanna dress up your pic for promotional reasons, as like an extra ad or something
steveEkatos says well encourage to try that skin it looks better then the photo
evie I've seen some that add brushes to their hair, that doesn't bother me, it's using rl hair that bugs me
steveEkatos says :-)
steveEkatos says yep need something to catch their eye
steveEkatos says or people wont even be curious
evie If it looks good in sl, make it look good in the picture :-P
steveEkatos says and if have the product to back it up inside your golden
steveEkatos says trick is to get them to try the demo cause once they do they buy
#m'Alice says i totally understand that. but just a word of advice. if you REALLY wanna discuss it, i suggest asking the Skin Addiction group in SL
steveEkatos says but i aggree so many skin stores abuse that ill get a skin wont even look at all like picture
steveEkatos says that just makes yea mad
steveEkatos says agreed
#m'Alice says then you'll get a better feel for what people think of it. tons of skin lovers there
steveEkatos says well mainly started this plurk cause of blog
steveEkatos says hehe
steveEkatos says he commenting whats on the blog
steveEkatos says :-)
steveEkatos says but thks for advise
#m'Alice says yup, np. good luck with the new blog~
steveEkatos says thks:-)
Qwis says I took a walk around your shop. The vendors for skins using SL hair are more attractive than those with RL hair.
Qwis says You have a hair shop next door. It's an opportunity to cross-brand and show how the hair & skin complement each other.
steveEkatos says thks for taken a look at my shop
steveEkatos says ill consider using my hair in the pics see how they look thks for advice bud
