I'm Back

I'm back!  Still going through IMs, so if you left me one and didn't hear back, give me another day or two and then try again, please.

I had a lot of "So and so has offered you inventory...." messages but found only two notecards and one object.  If you were one of the inventory offers, please drop me a line and let me know what you sent. :\

I'm happy to see SL is chugging away seamlessly with 35,000 people online now that I'm back.  As evidenced by my chatlog:

Ok, I made up the last line. :P

All I want to do is put an object in a box. Is that too much to ask?  I'm cranky. I'll be back to answer more IMs later.

Downtime extended

Comcast stood me up (YAY COMCAST!).  I will not be able to log into Second Life until Wed-Thurs. March 28-29th. 

If they decide to show up next time, that is. :(

PS. Does anyone know what's up with credit processing? It's taking weeks, literally... Cash flow problem? =\

Offline until 03/26/07

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am moving irl.  The date has been moved up and back so many times I can't even remember them all, but finally it's been settled and I'll be offline moving and unpacking and all that (un)fun stuff until at least March 26th.

Here are some of the most common questions I receive and the answers for them since waiting for me would take a lot longer, hopefully this will help a little.

Q.  Are you online?
A.  No.

Q. Where can I find ________?  (or)  Do you make the _______ in the ad for some other product?
A.  Please try the Fashion Emergency group for answers to these questions.  I'm more than happy to assist when I get back but given the time frame, you may want to check with them for more instant gratification.

Q.  I bought a no transfer item.  Can I return/trade/exchange/give to my alt/buddy/girlfriend/boyfriend/pet iguana?
A.  No. It's not kidding when it says "no transfer", these items are quite literally impossible to transfer.

Q.  Do you sell your shape?
A.  No, sorry.

Q.  Can you send a gift item for me?
A.  Yes, I'm happy to help with gift purchases, these will have to wait until next week. Sorry. Please, PLEASE do not send me money for a gift item when I'm offline. Especially since it will be several days until I can deliver it. My IMs will be capped and I may not even know about it until you write back to yell at me.

Q. A scene from the environment is stuck to my skin/shirt/pants/avatar. How do I fix it?
A.  Press CTRL ALT D to enable a Client menu next to your Help menu.  Once you have the Client menu, choose Client > Character > Rebake textures.

That's all I can think of for now. If you have a legitimate question, please leave me an offline. If it's something other than the above, I may be able to send an answer if I can find a spot to sneak into my email.

Passport Skins Return

Passport skins were retired at the end of 2006, but I've received a number of requests from faithful Passport wearers to bring them back so they can complete their collection.  So they're out for a limited time in Celestial City.  I'm afraid when I discontinued them last year, I meant it, and purged all marketing media associated with them (preview photos, vendor textures, etc). So this means there are no pictures of the makeups included for this go round. 

I rereleased them primarily so those who already wear the skins and have a pretty good idea what they look like will be able to get the rest of them before they're retired forever. I'll leave them for sale for a minimum of 30 days.  If you're interested in them, please grab them now as next time I retire them, I'll purge the skins themselves and they will not be available for another release.

Skin packs include every Passport skin in each tone for a hugely discounted price. I've included the brown eyebrow options in the same box with the black, but I'm not charging extra for them.  Each skin pack contains a minimum of 32 skins, and the tones with brown eyebrows available include an additional 25 skins with the brown hair option for a total of 52 skins included in those packs. Priced at 3200L for the whole shebang.  I will not be selling singles of the skins at this time, I priced them so even though Passport wearers may be getting some duplicates of skins they already own, the price is so low for all that's included, it should still be cost effective.

New!

Two new collaborations with Ginny Talamasca of Last Call by DHC. 

*Melrose: includes the top, pants, skirtbase, babydoll blouse prims, babydoll dress prims, skirt prims, and two pairs of flare prim pants cuffs. Funky flower child, fashion-forward, or just plain fun, "Melrose" is a huge set with loads of mix-n-match possibility. Easy, breezy, and beautiful :D (Available in six beautiful color combinations).

*Indochine: includes the bodice with corset, the bodice with corset and bolero, the bolero by itself, the skirtbase, the crushed silk flexi-prims, and a pair of black capris accented with the same silk used in the corset and bolero. Knotted buttons accent the piece. It's a richly textured dress inspired by the Catherine Deneuve film. (Available in five muted colors or a fatpack).

Ginny's posted more photos of all the colors at her blog, or stop by Celestial Studios or Last Call to check them out in person.
