This is the final Mesh body that I'll be posting on until I am thrown more of them.

I did see a post that had displayed ...omg so many

 She did a nice line up with prices and locations.

(I have bought the pieces used in these posts as well :'3)

If you have any suggestions on which bodies to review

please let me know.  I am though looking for bodies that have appliers to them.

My first opinion of this body was horrid.

I had put it on with my own shape I was wearing with The Shops that I had made and omg...

But like every mesh body it has to have their own special shape for them to fit the curves nicely.

Once I modified the shape of my SL avatar it really did turn out nicely.

I did have to shrink myself in a few places so that the body wasn't so edgy.

 Body Thickness at 30 ( Normally at 50 )

Breasts at 60

Leg Muscles at 70

Hip Width at 65

Hip Length at 25 ( Normally at 50 )

Butt at 70

I am wearing the Pink Fuel Doll V2 again as she included an applier in the skin package.

 I chose the Curvy Default like I had for my last post for The Shops mesh body.

Really in the end I am impressed.

The breasts are smooth if you do not enlarge them too big.

The legs are nice for thicker girls.

I did however notice lines though where the neck, stomach, back are though you have to really cam in for them at times.  In the front and back pictures above you can barely tell they're even there at all.

The neck could use a bit more work but really it is nicely done.

 To get the same look you will have to wear the *KL* Lena Body Alpha Exact.

I had tried some of the others and it shaped the neck to be a bit weird though.

I found that alpha to be more precise, *KL* Lena Body Alpha Exact.

In the box it comes with:

• 5 Alpha Layers
• 5 skins
• 2 Clothing Appliers
• 1 Example Shape
• 1 Body
• 1 Updater
• 1 HUD
• 1 Example Physics
• 1 Notecard which you should read over if you have questions

   Elbow

Slink Attachments

Above I'm wearing the Slink hands Elegant Small and the Slink Mid M size.

They really do blend well, the hands better than the feet as in world when I do look down they are so close to being perfect it hurts.

This is a really big plus in my book for this body.

 Butt

The butt, one of my most picky things on a mesh body.

I am so so on it with the shape, spoiled by the roundness of Belleza and The Shops.

In real life the sides do dip in like the top left pictures shows.  But it felt flat from looking down and a bit odd / saggy from the other angles.

She also made her twinkle cave rather than have a smooth texture twinkle cave.

HUD

 

 The HUD is laid out pretty simple.  

There are 4 tabs

• Layers:  Lets you hide the layers or clear them out
• Alpha:  Is not as dynamic as some others but it works well
• Colors:  In the box you will get all 5 of these colors to match up with.
  If you wish to use the slink hands and feet with the supplied skins you will have to buy them each separately for  399 L.
  Note:  This body does not come with hands or feet.  She sells them separately; feet 199 L and hands 239 L.
• Extras:  There is a HUD that she sells that your partner can buy where he or she can remove your layers.  It sounds like a nice role play item.
  She sells it separately for 129 L.

 Pros 

1. There are two versions of the body, Perky and Lush
   Perky is 899 L
   Lush is 899 L
2. Fits Slink like a glove!
3. Has the option for your partner to play with your clothes ( wiggles eyebrows )
4. Has a skirt layer installed for clothing, so no extra mesh piece or prim piece.
5.  Detailed twinkle cave ( Picture above if you missed it )
6. Slowly some skin creators and clothing designers are coming out with appliers.
7. It does look like you can store some outfits in the HUD

Cons

1. Does not come with hands or feet
2. Some lines on the mesh body
3. Can not turn off nipples so it will be very "cold" for you.
   I noticed with the clothing given on the underwear it is very nipply but it isn't as noticeable with the dress she provided.
4.  Alpha layers aren't as dynamic

This really is a nicer body than I had originally thought it to be.

It changed my mind on it and I'm now a proud owner of the Lena body.

The price is the lowest out of the 5 I had talked about.

She also offers different add-on's to her body

• Hands
• Feet
• Puffy Nipples ( for the Lena Lush )
• Partner HUD

 If you are a creator she does offer the Developers Kit for Free.
I hope that you enjoyed this and maybe you'll even try out this body.
You'll never know till you try.

For starters I wont lie I never bought this body.

You'll be able to tell by the pictures below as I have the demo rings around me.  

But!  I had bought a skin from Lara Hurley from the first Uber event which included the Physique applier.  So I am not in a demo skin!  

Trying to prettify this as much as I can with a demo swirling around me hopefully you will understand what I mean.

I had changed my shape up a bit to have the SL avatar shape to make this mesh body more presentable.

It can not do wide hips like the Belleza or The Shops but in all honesty it's not bad.  

When I had first demoed it I ran away as I had no butt!  

But once I had fiddled with it more you'll see it can have a bit of a bump for its butt.  

I still feel that it was more suited towards the thinner shape rather than the more fuller, which I enjoy, but it can still work to some degree.

Below you'll see that I was able to manage to give it some umph.

Torso Muscle at 20

Breasts at 60

Leg Muscles at 60

Hips at 60

( I seem to like 60 ) 

I did leave the butt at 80

I am wearing XSmall for Hands and Small for the Mid Feet

 Honestly while working on this post it really has given me a new view on this body.

It might even for others so I hope you enjoy :D

For the Body I felt that if you went too large in the breasts you started to get square like in the normal SL avatar.  But as depicted above it isn't that bad around 60.  I did notice it will have that hip point that the other shapes don't seem to really have.  I played with the saddle slider and this was my final result to make it as smooth as possible without it looking too odd.  In real life, yes our hips are not smooth like they are in some pictures.  There is a point where it dips in so this is more of a "realistic" look.

HUD

 

At first glance this HUD was all up in my face.  A bit overwhelming but very straight to the point.

There aren't any other menus that you have to wander about to go through or wait to load.

It is a one done HUD.  Which I do enjoy as sometimes my SL likes to be a PAIN in the butt with rezzing.

The alpha layers aren't that bad they aren't as dynamic as the Belleza or The Shops.

I do like the the fact the layering is all on this one HUD, Tattoo/Underwear/Clothing.

At the Top Left corner you'll see Neck Fitting.

I put this little gif together to show from Off/1.5/2.5/3.5/4.5/5.5 sizing.

 The Demo box did include a Neck Patch for the Visage Head.

Also Hide Neck Join which is to be more of a blender from SL head and Mesh Body.

It does come with helpful Note cards so please read if you are having problems.

Elbow

Butt

So I had to do a picture of the butt.

I am very / ultra picky about my butts and sadly this did not cut the cake for me.

It isn't that bad on the left but it is just too edgy for me to want to smack it.

I did try to lower the size but than I had a tiny bump when looking at the side view.

50 isn't that horrible but the edges will never go away.  It is just how it was built.

 I do however give her major kudos for shaping the hooha

( Yes I noticed almost everything on this body )

Pros

1. Fits Slink like a charm (like you had any doubts)
2. Very natural real life body look
3. Can fit thin and Average Shapes
4.  Easy to use HUD
5. 99.9% of mesh shoes will fit / work with this body
6. Comes with a variety of neck sizes
7. She has a shaped hooha

Cons

1. Is not made for full curvy girls ( in my own opinion )
2. The Alpha System is not very dynamic
3. The butt is too edgy
4. Can not handle higher slider scales.

I have to say I am impressed with this body.
There were more pros than cons in my book and maybe it changed a few for you as well.
The downsides it may have would be not fitting mesh clothing right, that isn't made for the mesh body like 99.9% of the clothes out there.
In reality it is a great body, please fix the butt ( • 3 • ) I begs you, to the point it is on my list of gets.
The cost of the body is 1250 Lindens which is a fraction of the costs of the previously listed bodies.
I wonder if this changed anyones views on it like myself.
Thank you for reading :D keep in tune with the next two / last of the bodies that I will be posting about.

I want to talk about the take over of mesh bodies.

I will be doing a line up of posts that will consist of the New and Old mesh bodies.

The pictures are not altered in anyway except to be put into a grid.

This is how they look in world Raw on high graphics with Nam's Optimal Skin and Prim windlight.

( Please excuse the demos I will be using )

First off is about the New release by Belleza.

Most of us have been waiting for this release as we've seen the glorious teasers by Petra.

Plus the other bloggers who have gotten a chance to display the body for the rest of us

to wait and roll around for.

Today it was released with a stampede of people rushing into their doors.

Below is a picture I have collage together of the views of this body.

I will talk about the pros and cons of this so if you'd like continue reading

as you stare at my nakedness

I did do these pictures naked as I believe layers would give a false idea / hide

any flaws that can not be seen unless naked.

Elbows:

 Below is the:  Belleza HUD

I really have high hopes for this body and it's future updates.

It could be with the public wanting the body now that it was pushed out too soon.

But every new item will have it's flaws.

Pros:

1. It is thin and thick friendly
2.  The alpha layers is friendly to wearing mesh clothing
3. If you wear Belleza skins you will be able to match your skin to the body perfectly
4. The HUD is new user friendly.  Simple to understand and if you need help there is a tab that will send you to sites that could get you your answers.
5. It comes with 3 different sets of lingerie that is fitted nicely to the Belleza Body.
6. You can change your feet from:  flat, medium, high, JD (if you wear his shoes) all in one HUD rather than having to go back into your inventory and switch them out as they are attached to the Venus body.
7. The hands you can change between 16 different styles, either left or right it is very friendly to bloggers who need different hands for their poses and don't have to go through their inventory to switch out hands.  That I know is very annoying to have to see which is which.  The images on the HUD is very helpful.  It is pretty much flawless with them already attached to the body.
8. You still get the choice of short, medium, long nails just like Slink minus the Pointed nails.
9. The HUD has a system to save your skins that you have already applied so no more having to re-apply the skin to the body.
10.   You can turn on and off Tattoo, Underwear, Clothing layers off with this One HUD.

Cons:

1.   Neck One does not match up correctly with the SL avatar.  Neck Two is a bit oddly shaped and shaded to heavily.
2. The breast on the facing right side has odd edging on the side which can be seen if you make your breasts too large, around 90 to 100, mine are currently at 80.
3.  The Slink Fitted body is not "perfect" for slink yet. 
   Note:  You may have to play around with the slink to have it match up with your shape.  For myself it was the Size M for both Hands and Feet with the slider at 50 for arms and 46 for legs.

This body is very nicely made with a lot of thought put into it on what people want out of their mesh bodies.  As you can see there are more pros than cons with it.

The price for this is 3995 Lindens.

I am wearing a Belleza Skin, -Belleza- Ria Fair 0, so that it can match nicely with the body.

If you'd like to read more I will be posting about the other bodies in posts later today.

Thank you and I hope you try out the body as it's well worth it.
