It is difficult to find not only a good young male skin, but a quality shape to go with it. I’ve found both!
Fade Lei from Ugly Duck has released ‘Andrej’ skin pack and shape specifically designed for this skin.
The shading on the skin has to be seen to be believed. I urge you to pop along to Ugly Duck and demo the skin
The shape and skin is perfect if you are looking for a teen male or femboi. Fade has also released her first selection of makeups – lips – which fit perfectly with these skins, along with her other recent releases. Eyes and cheeks to follow soon!
And while I’m at it, Ugly Duck also has a $250L sale on at the moment, for older skins. These are still light years ahead of many others as to quality, so truly worth your $$$.

My snuggly fox fur is just the thing to spice up a dress. My shoes are also from Eclectica, and highlight my garden mood
Definitely a bit of a giggle

Skin: Swan Emily from Ugly Duck
How wonderful the english language is, when we realise that the term ‘A Lamentation of Swans’ refers to a group of swans. A perfect title for my post, I thought š
Fade Lei has released her latest series, ‘Swan’. Above is the Beth range, the ginger shade
And these are the Emily range, the red shade
Fade has also made an excellent all over body freckle tattoo, shown on the left, and without for comparison. It is subtle and delicate, certainly one of the best I have seen.
And finally, the Ugly Duck shapes. Above is the Sophie shape. Each pack comes with A, B and C cup. This is because each increase in size is not just a matter of moving one slider. Fade aims to have her shapes realistic, thus as breast size increases, so does gravity.

The much anticipated new series from Fade Lei of Ugly Duck has arrived, the Swan series. Below you can see Emily in neutral tone with makeup
The exquisite features and delicate hand painting that has created this skin show the true talent of an artist
The body of the skin has new shading to give a more lifelike look. The shape I am wearing is Sophie, also from Ugly Duck and available separately
These skins are not cheaply made template skins; many hours of painstaking pixel-by-pixel work has gone into them. I urge you to try demos at Fade’s store.

“My idea was based around if aliens witnessed our world then this is how i imagine they’d react š¦
Seeing wars, famine, Religion, destruction of the enviroment etc” – Fade Lei, creator and owner of Ugly Duck
This brings us to part II of the Ugly Duck unique design for Culture Shock
This shows the skin Lily Wept using my own eyes
And using the eyes included in the pack. These are in my opinion the most realistic tears available in world.
