Ms Shabazz’s TOP 5 Fashion Tips – Week #1.

1. Colors and skin tone:
 The simplest rule of thumb is to choose colors that 1) de-emphasize the undertone in your skin, 2) contrast your hair colour or 3) compliment your eyes. The two most common undertones of skin are pink and yellow. Colours with blue undertones are generally the most flattering because they can equally neutralize pink or yellow in the skin. If you have lots of pink undertone in your skin, stay away from pale or mid-tone pinks and tomato reds. They only increase the appearance of pink in your skin. If you have lots of yellow undertone in your skin, stay away from taupes, beiges or browns that match your skin colour too closely. Don't be afraid to experiment with colour. And don't buy into that '80s notion that you are a “winter” or a “summer.” You could be a fruit cocktail.

It's payday for Janine Hawkins. Not in the real world, where she is a student at Nipissing University in Ontario, but in the online world of Second Life, where she is managing editor of the fashion magazine Second Style.

Ms. Hawkins, who in Second Life takes on the persona of Iris Ophelia, a beauty with flowing hair and flawless skin, keeps a list of things she wants to buy: the latest outfits from the virtual fashion mecca Last Call, a new hairstyle from a Japanese designer, slouchy boots. When she receives her monthly salary in Linden dollars, the currency of Second Life, she spends up to four hours shopping, clicking and buying. After a year and a half, she owns 31,540 items.

Living it up in Second Life is a break from Ms. Hawkins’s part-time job as a French translator, but she works just as hard in the virtual world.
