Brand New Hair & Revived Skins

I made the new veronica style in response to the numerous requests I get for the Cowgirl style without a hat.  Please note that Veronica II is actually a closer facsimile to that style than Veronica I.  Veronica I has a sculpted bang & hangs straight down to the mid back.  Veronica II uses prim bangs, is mid back length again, but has the flipped wispy pieces around the face that were present on the Cowgirl style.

The original Deviant Nation skin series is once again available at Last Call.  I know a lot of people have been looking for those, and now they can be found again. :)

Oh yes! I need to add this:

Be sure to stop by and check out the SLCC Magic Mushroom treasure hunt.  There are three magic mushrooms hidden in Celestial City with a goodie inside for those who find them.  Read all about the hunt and see a list of participating locations by clicking here.  I made a special goodie for the event, but I can't tell you where it's at. ;)

Huge new release!

I'm very excited about this first one.  Canimal & I have collaborated to adapt her Glow makeup (one of my all-time favorites) for my Vogue skins.  Everything about these makeups is beautiful from the ethereal almost fantasy eye makeup to the subtle iridescence on the lips.  Be sure to try a demo of these as the small pictures really do not capture them.

A second skin set is out as well. I've reworked my original gold & silver glitter sets for the Charmed skins for Vogue skins by request.  These were always one of my favorite sets, and I think I love the new incarnation even more than the first.

Also out today, some new Moderno goodies for the menfolk. Although, I must say, they look pretty damn good on females too.  Two new track jackets with sculpted prim hoods:

And a set of basic thermal tees in a variety of gray shades that look nice & clean alone, but are great for layering as well:

Glow & Glitter skins are available at Celestial Studios.
Glow skins are also available at Canimal.
Men's clothing items are available at Moderno.

Deviant Nation Skin Resurrected?

As you may remember, the first set of Deviant Nation skins was retired to make room for a new series.  Since we've rebuilt, space is less of an issue than it was before.  These skins were never marketed as Limited Edition & were retired with the sole purpose of making space for new product.

Now that they're gone, I am frequently asked where to get them.  Many of the people looking for them were not created before these were retired and see other designers wearing them in their ads, etc.  I do not privately sell discontinued merchandise and am leery of resurrecting retired lines lest I be lynched for some sort of perceived deception. So I am currently turning these people away or suggesting a similar skin that's currently for sale.

If the skins are revived, they will go back to their original price (they were marked 50% off for a limited time before being retired.)  I would like to revive them and don't see any reason not to from a designer's perspective, but I'd like some feedback from customers since this sort of thing seems to have become a hot topic, or at least a warm one.

I've added a poll for a simple vote on the side of the blog. Please make your opinion known, and I welcome commentary if you have any feelings on this matter. Especially if you vote "No". I'd like to know why.

Thanks!

***********************************************************************

I've discontinued the poll at 100 votes and l I think that settles it. There are more people who don't care than think it shouldn't be done. And no one who voted no actually cared enough to explain their reasoning.  Maybe it's not such a hotbed issue as it sometimes seems.

Thanks to everyone for participating!

Back!

I'm home from vacation. We came home a day early to beat the traffic. I have approximately 900,000 IMs and inventory drops to go through.  Ok, that's probably a bit of an exaggeration. It's more like 200,000.  It will take me several days to get through everything and as usual any inventory that was dropped on me after I capped will not pop up when I log in and I'll likely find it sometime in March of 2008.  So if you sent something and don't get a reply in the next week, you may want to try again if it still requires my attention.

On Vacation

I'll be at the beach until August 13.  I am taking my laptop along but don't plan to use it very much.  I meant to give more notice, etc. but here it is almost midnight and I have to be up and on the road at 6 am.

It's been so hectic the last few days getting everything ready I completely forgot to come back and post the new stuff from the reopening.  So, without further ado or explanation, here are the new things out this week if you haven't been by yet.

^Also available with brown and tan hats.

That is all. Hopefully after a week of R&R my head will be screwed on a little bit straighter. There are some big new things in the works for after vacation.  Can't wait to get back and get cracking on them.  Ok, actually I can. :P  See you in a week!

Yay!!!

Cani made me the best birthday present EVER!!!

Oh yeah, Celestial City is reopened!  I'll post the new stuff and all the info later. It's my birthday, I'm going to have lunch for a change. :D

Celestial Studios Opening at 9am SLT

Celestial City will be opening back up at 9am SLT Wednesday, August 1st (my birthday!). Sorry, had to sneak that in there. ;) Yay! I'm ... old!

Second Life has been ever so cooperative, so don't mind me if I'm still running around working out the last few kinks and scrambling to get the new stuff on the walls.
