The first of many planned Halloween posts is now available at Celestial Studios, Panache and Lemon!

Bootleg Annie is a Limited Edition costume that will be available through November 1, 2008.  This costume set includes the following:

1. Sculpted tricorn hat with 4 custom hair colors. (Kari & Zyrra Falcone)
2. Celestial Studios "V2" prototype skin in light and tan with bonus scarred versions. More skin info below!
3. Shape by Haver Cole of Lemon
4. Full outfit including' jacket with top, collar, eye patch, gloves, pants, booty shorts, multiple belt, skirt and scarf configurations, two stocking versions, and scultped boots! (TorridWear, Kari, and Celestial Studios)
5. Custom animation override set by TorridWear that includes 5 stands, a sit, and walk.

Skin Info

The skin in this set is a V2 "prototype" skin, that I started work on over a year ago. Demos are available if you'd like to compare what changes have been made. Overall I feel like it's a smoother skin (which I think translates well in windlight). Only one makeup (with 2 variations) is available for the Bootleg Annie costume. More will be availabe with some of the costumes that we'll be releasing in the coming days and weeks.  Who knows, if there is enough interest, maybe I will develop it as a full new line of skins.  I've taken some photos below of the skin out of the pirate context to show it on its own.

Right now there are only two skintones available. Unlike past Vogue skins, these tones are moddable via the pigment sliders. I'm afraid that means the eyebrows and pubic hair are NOT moddable.  In the event the skin is developed into a full line, I'd love to get some feedback regarding which people prefer to mod, skintone or hair color, since it's not possible to do both without some serious finagling.

Makeups available for the V2 Bootleg Annie version:

Stay tuned for some exciting new costumes coming up. And until then, get to swabbin' the decks, ye hornswagglin' scurvy curs!

New School Collaboration Available Now

I'll try to keep this short and sweet, since I know it's been blogged already. I just wanted to post a quick heads-up that the New School collaboration between myself, Kari, TorridWear and Zyrra is now available at Celestial Studios.

I've been out sick so I'm a bit late getting this information out, but if you've missed it, be sure to check out this big set which now includes a jacket fatpack buying option.  Torrid posted all the information over on her blog, so read up there for all the details.

Thanks to Menno, Torrid, and Zyrra for working on this project with me and being ever so patient when I kept passing out with fever. <3

Three new hairstyles

All three have both sculptie and flexi pieces.

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!

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. ;)

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!

Jennifer Hair + Hat

Latest in my hat rampage is Jennifer.  This is a sort of newsboy style cap textured in tweeds atop a sleek bun with side bangs.  The hat is scripted with 4 default tweed textures: black, brown, red & blue.  There is also a white tweed texture and the hat is equipped with a color changing script too, so you can change the texture to white and then tint to your heart's content.  You may also find great combinations by tinting the other textures. Brown hat tinted gray = darker brown hat for example.

I learned my lesson after the last batch of hats and am offering this one sans hat as well. 

For those of you who keep asking, I'll try to work on the cowgirl style with no hat one of these days.  I'm running out of room in my store though. :O

Celestial City update groupies are also treated to a little pair of funky freebie earrings today.  Search for "Celestial City" in groups and join to stay informed and get the occasional treat. :D

Hair with Sculpted Hats

Yay! My first sculpties. I'm so proud of myself for making these and owe a big fat "Thank you!" to Ginny Talamasca right off the bat for all her help and encouragement on the road to sculpted enlightenment. <3333 (Which I hope to travel further.)

Anyhoo!  A few new hairstyles out today with sculpted hats.  Two variations of an urban-cowgirl style hat in black and brown.  The black is shown at left, the brown, below.  Also out is a beachy/fisherman style called "Bermuda" that comes with a cute, shorter flipped style and is equipped with a texture changing hat, loaded with seven fun presets.

I hope you guys like hats because there's a few more in the works. I'm just having fun figuring out sculpties and these are the most fun for me right now.

PS. Happy Rez-Day to me. I'm officially 3 years old in SL which must almost make me FIC.  They keep screening my calls though. :(

New Hair

These were originally intended to go with last week's release by Last Call, but I just couldn't keep up with Ginny while I was on vacation (or ever). :P

Anyway, 2 new hairstyles are out now!
