LaLa FooFoo

As I blogged several months ago, my sister had started learning Photoshop for SL. She has come along way since she began and is working diligently towards opening her very own store.  Today she releases four new designs, which are available on the "New" wall of Celestial Studios.  When she builds her inventory a little more, she'll move into her own space. Watch for LaLa FooFoo coming soon!

Todays releases are a series of very colorful basics (and a few not-so-basics) that work with each other and with items you already have in your inventory.  My favorite, the skully tops, are shown above.  Without further ado, here are her other three releases for today.  I hope you like them, I am very proud of the progress she's made!

Party Dresses

Just in time for your holiday and New Year's parties.  Four new cocktail/party dresses are out.

Gilda (shown above) is available in 4 holiday colors:

Maureen is a crushed velvet babydoll available in six rich colors:

Larue is a shiny belted system skirt dress available in six colors:

Last but not least, Nena is a big set that can be mix&matched and worn a number of different ways. It's available in six rich jewel/metal tones

Please take note:  some of these dresses utilize the system skirt. For those not familiar with it, it adds about 10 pounds of junk in the trunk. You may wish to shrink the size of your rear end and narrow your hips to minimize the effect when wearing a system skirt.  As always, I'm happy to assist with fitting prim skirts if need be.

Also! I've added an ice skating rink behind Celestial Studios. Feel free to grab your blades & go for a spin. The location makes for great wintery photos as well. :)

Sexy Halloween Goodies

Sexy, funny, cheeky, cute - it's all here in the latest release from Celestial Studios & Last Call.  These costume packs include all of the contents listed on each vendor - complete Halloween looks from head to toe (excluding skin & hair).  We had so much fun making these and were crying, often, from laughing so much.  We hope you have fun with them during the trick-or-treat season and MAYBE, just MAYBE you'll end up the girl on the block who gets the most candy in her basket!  Okay, that sounds so bad but it was supposed to be cute o.O  You'll find these costume kits at both Last Call & Celestial Studios on our new items walls.  They're priced at 300L/kit. <3<3<3 After November 1st, they will move to their permanent home in Burlesque Dolls.

The ads are self-explanatory and list the included items, so here they are!

 

Spooky is always in style...

Last Call & Celestial Studios have collaborated again to bring to life "The Halloween Enchantress."  We brainstormed about our favorite iconic Halloween imagery and blended them to create a dark, sexy enchantress perfect for scaring and seducing.

The Enchantress is sold in two pack options: the MegaPak and the CostumePak with skins and hair for sale separately/optionally depending upon the pack one chooses to purchase.

*The MegaPak: includes the Enchantress hair with detailed spider clip in four Halloween colors (black cherry, nocturne, plum, and carrot), the VOGUE Enchantress skin in all five VOGUE skin tones, sculpted wings, ruby spider pendant necklace, 2 versions of the spider stiletto sandals, a dark sparkle-emitting trident, red eyes, horns, and the Enchantress dress with all of its options (3 versions of the skirt, sculpted sleeves, and loads of layer options - including a finished jacket top for mixing and matching with other costumes/wardrobe pieces).  It's the complete Halloween Enchantress collection ^_^

*The CostumePak: includes the sculpted wings, ruby spider pendant necklace, 2 versions of the spider stiletto sandals, a dark sparkle-emitting trident, red eyes, horns, and the Enchantress dress with all of its options (3 versions of the skirt, sculpted sleeves, and loads of layer options - including a finished jacket top for mixing and matching with other costumes/wardrobe pieces).

*The Halloween Enchantress Hair: is also available for separate purchase in the full, shimmering line of Celestial Studios hair colors.  Long tendrils in the front accent a complicated braided style held up with the ruby spider clip (the signature of this enchantress).  Be sure to try the demos!

*The Halloween Enchantress Vogue Skins: are accented with a coordinating glittery spiderweb over the left eye for a dramatic finishing touch to the set.  Red lips and smoky black glitter makeup make these themed skins the perfect Halloween party accessory. 

The Halloween Enchantress is a limited release and will be retired November 1, 2007.  Our favorite enchantress so far, we had so much fun making her.  We hope you have just as much fun wearing her!

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.

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!

Trixie Halters

Two new tops in the Trixie line. Like the previous release, these are very versatile tops that come on every layer for maximum usability. Wear them short or long, in or out. 

Striped detail shown above. Dots shown below:

Each style is available in six summer friendly shades.

Trixie Booboo

It's been brought to my attention that one of yesterday's Trixie tanks had an error. Kind of a big one too. I used the wrong upper body texture resulting in a large waist seam. Oops. =\  It's fixed now. I went through my transaction history and sent replacements.  This only affected the Trixie Tank top in Brick.  None of the other tank colors nor any of the other brick colored styles were affected. If I somehow missed your replacement, contact me in world so I can fix it.

Trixie

Four new casual tops that can be mixed, matched and layered to your heart's content.  There is a basic tank and camisole as well as a trimmed t-shirt and thermal hoodie.  The t-shirts and hoodies come in 6 colors and the tanks and camis are in 11. Don't ask me why, that's just how I did it.  Fat packs are available on the tees and hoodies only.  These are priced at 60-100L each and would make great staples for almost any wardrobe.

My 'vacation' is over and it's back to work for me. Up next is some new hair, and then who knows? Maybe skins? :O

Something Old, Something New

The "New" would be this new outfit created by a new designer in SL.  Her name is Larue Laval, and she happens to be my sister in first life.  Ok, I helped. ;)  She plans to do her own collection under the label LaLa FooFoo.  I'm just helping to get her started in Photoshop.  Hopefully we'll do some more collaborations and she'll soon have her own boutique going.

This outfit includes a tank top, semi sheer sweater with flexi prim ribbon and loose fit cropped pants with prim cuffs to hide that icky, nasty leg bulge thing that happens with loose fit pants.  The pants are moddable, so if loose is not your thing, feel free to tighten them up.  Available in six different color combinations or as a complete Willow Pack set.

I'm very proud of her. I think she did an *awesome* job, especially for a first timer.

The "Old" in this post are some older hairstyles that I've redone with the new textures.  This does mean that all my old hairstyles are gone, I'm afraid.  I may redo some more of them in the future, I'm not sure yet.  I may just make all new hair to replace them too! :D

The four styles that were renovated are:

I've changed this one to Cutie Poofs II as I did a little more work to it than just retexture. I added more prims for volume, flexi pieces and redid the bangs.

Debutante remains mostly the same style but I did fill it out a bit and add a few flexi pieces to give it some movement.

Delish is one of my styles that I've always really liked for it's versatility, so I left it unchanged, only the texture was touched on this one.

Same thing for Streamer II:

Demos are available for all the hairstyles.
