Your Final Warning


Just a Little Reminder that the Violent Nightmare Fashion Show is beginning at 7 PM SLT on the Pulse Sim http://slurl.com/secondlife/Pulse/213/77/652 . Featuring designs by Philotic Energy, Vital Animations, Nomine, !Retox! and of course Sn@tch. Would love to see you all there. This should be one of the more ummm...interesting fashion shows you've seen in SL. We hope everyone has a lot of fun and really enjoys it and I realy hope it starts a wave of more Alternative, Punk and Gothic fashion events. It's our time!


The runway will stay up after the show so if anyone is interested in renting the space for their own production, just send a note to me or Roblem Hogarth and we'll get back in touch. But for now...curl up, turn down the lights and start to slip away into a dream...one that might start to get a little disturbing, a little twisted...one that might make you start to sweat and clutch your pillow and hide under the covers. Yes, there is someone hiding under your bed. Don't move! Thats fear's way of keeping you safe. Don't breathe. He might hear you...all you can do is hope you wake up before his cold damp bony fingers rake across your shoulder...muahahahaaa


Come to the show and see for yourself what the Violent Nightmare is all about!

Probably the best Sn@tch in the WORLD

Another little teaser for what you can expect to experience at "the Violent Nightmare" Fashion show...featuring designs from Sn@tch, Philotic Energy, Vital Animations, Nomine and !ReTox! Get contest rules for our Model Search at http://www.flickr.com/groups/snatch-album/ or at the Sn@tch Main store! over $10,000 L in Cash and Prizes to one lucky aspiring model!

My newest is what started out as a full kimono, before I realised I couldn't do a kimono like June Dion (my hero)I had to do it in Sn@tch style. So I cropped the top made some dragon embossed jeans and some scarf belts (which everyone has been urging me to make more of since "Wild Child") and something really sexy and spring came out of it "Hong Kong Garden"

We had a PJ Party at the family park on Pulse last weekend and it inspired me to make a bunch of stuff. I had this Kanji texture forever and didnt know what to do with it. Then it struck me PJ BOTTOMS. I put together a set of really low cut striped halters and dangerously low drawstring PJ pants. I've been wearing this for days now and not as PJs, though thats what they were intended for. So for you next romp in the sheets, "Bedtime for Bitches" is just the thing!

The halters were so kyoot I threw together a mixed solid color set affectionately called "Tramp Tanks". These are extra cheap for 9 great colors. A veryyy low back shows off those slinky spinal tatts. And to go with the "Tramp Tanks" or on their own, I did some short stripey very low slung shorts in 8 Colors (the grey goes with two tanks so one more was kinda redundant) So they're even cheaper for the whole set. For PJs or out in public...these are adorable
Mmmmmnnnggg "Sex on the Beach" I'm still dreaming about warm weather up here in Boston where its 33 degrees tonite (Christ!) But here in SL we can hit the sand and dunk in the pool or hot tub whenever we feel like it. SEVEN strapless Bikinis in TWO layers. All cute as hell patterns a little out of the ordinary for the not so ordinary chick like me.

Just for fun, since I made the PJs, I thought the Lindens could use a little help with the grid so I gathered some little furry friends to join that poor tired old gerbil on the wheel. You can help!

We have a new group for Sn@tch Fans and Friends since the other one is strictly employees now. It's for chat, fun and information and ONLY by invite so if you'd like to join, contact Xandra Arado or Melinda Bade the store managers and they'd be happy to get you in. Unless of course you're a dick then they'll just cuss at you and kick you in the sack.

As always you are loved and appreciated, every one of you! Thanks for supporting me and Sn@tch and be good to each other. Live YOUR edge! Whatever it is!




Luff & PEACE!

Fashion Show Tease & More NEW!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Sn@tch and !ReTox! have nuzzled up to some pretty hawt designer friends of ours and we're having a fashion show. The designers included, I am honored to work with...Aemilia Case of Philotic Energy, Siennah Elcar and Nepeta Ling of Vital Animations and Munchflower Zaius of Nomine. Here's a little tease for you. You've never seen any show like this in SL before I can guarantee that. You dont need "super model" avs that all look like gangly aliens and some agency that doesnt know your clothes to have a fashion show in SL. This is not your pristine clean white runway. This is dark..scary and really different. Screw Couture...this is Sn@tch!


We're having a modeling contest for a guest spot in the show and 1000's of L's in prizes and cash. You can get RULES & INFO at the Main Store @ Pulse. Just click the sign over the front counter or go to http://www.flickr.com/groups/snatch-album/

Ok down to the literal nitty gritty. Here is my first foray into footwear (ya I alliterate like a bitch!) After a few weeks of struggle and some encouragement to finish these damn things...these are my "Monster Stompers" Made from mostly random suclpty maps I had in my inventory, with stacked metallic heels and skull buckles with layers of flexi netting and glittery fabric. They're fun...and CHEAP. And man I don't envy shoe makers in SL, they are a WHORE to make, but I love these and hope you will too!

These next ones are my attempt at a little more retro jean than I usually do. Pedal Pusher Jeans with pocket and cuff embellishments in several patterns including (my favorite) plaid, zebra, baroque and cheetah. The prim cuffs make these look extra realistic and really hot with simple stillettos or chucks. I call em "Hellbilly Capris"




I'm not a huge anime fan (my ex was and I kinda got sick of it) but I always loved the concept and think there's nothing cuter than a grown woman in a schoolgirl outfit. "Tokyo Prep" is the classic sera-fuku or sailor suit, done in three classic colors. Black with red trim, black with blue trim and navy with white and red. I included kneesocks in black and white and the colorchange legwarmers. This is an amazing price for all you get! Fab for cos play!
Been meaning to do these for awhile. I have 38 Colors and Styles in a fat pack or four separate sets in Solid Matte Colors, French Tips in black and natural, Punk and Goth themes and pale glossy shines. The "Nail Candy" Fat Pack is an incredible deal. You'll never need to buy another nail color.

One of my top sellers has ALWAYS been the original "Fishnet Collection" I finally did another set with a much tighter fishnet and much better seaming and edging. You get five fishnet stockings, one with a garter and panties attached and three fishnet shirts on ALL LAYERS for a fab price. Also includes an extra pair of plain black string panties. This is the Fishnet Collection V 2.0

Whew...PJs are next!

Laterrrr...

Slowly but Surely!


I swear I'll get caught up on this shit today. I could never be a fashion blogger. I have such admiration for people who can keep with these things. I couldnt keep a diary IRL either. Ok new stuff! Or sorta new..within the last few weeks anyways -grins

Another item in the "Hunger" line...it's a black chinese silk dress with a veryyyy low V front, tuxedo ruffles and flouncy sleeves. I made some gartered fishnets and panties to go with it (you will need panties unless you wanna show the cha cha, but thats up to you!) I also made a sheer jacket version that can be worn alone or with pants. This is gothic elegant and playful too! I call this one "Gimme Siren" after the line from This Corrosion by Joy Division...It seemed to fit my gothy stare at the camera.

I had in my mind some wide striped pants for awhile and finally made a neat striped knit fabric and did the lowrise pants in several great intense colors. I threw in a cute black cropped knit hoodie with prim hood and cords and it made a sweet set called "Carnivale"

After the release of "Gimme Siren" which has been amazingly popular, I paired the same Tuxedo top with some red and purple wide striped pants from the "Carnivale" set and did "Tragedy" for the Hunger line. It has a tucked shirt bottom and looks very sophisticated, sleek and edgy at the same time.
"Cha Cha" is my take on the salsa dress but ultra sexy and a little street edged. A silk pattered draped halter with attached black bra, very low in the back to show those back tatts. It comes with a ruffled prim flouncy skirt and stockings. Oyyy Papi this one is CALIENTE! (Gawd that was hokey I cant believe I typed that..I apologise)

I had people screaming at me for skirts without glitch pants in different textures so I made four cheapie outfits with a skirt I'm calling the "Swallow" The belt buckles are a kyoot little rhinestone swallow but the patterns and styles are very different. All these are amazing prices for full outfits!

"Kill Barbie" is a graphic tee with with gutshot wound and large bloody exit hole. Who hasnt wanted to do this to a blingtard. The Swallow Skirt is pink and black plaid and it comes with pink ripped fishnets. This so reminds me of my brother sticking my quick-curl barbie in the easy bake oven and cooking her with a 40 watt light bulb...I cried

I had already done this bikini when I did the Crash set but saved it not knowing what I would use it for but I made this latex Swallow Skirt and it just went with it so well. It includes the bloody skull kini the top is on the shirt layer and a long sleeved cropped/ripped fishnet shirt on the jacket layer so you can wear upper tatts with it. Also included are simple necessary fishnet stockings and bloody "Skull Kini" bottoms.
"Zombie Luck" is a hot little knit halter with bare back, retro graphic and blood red sweater collar. It comes with a classic red and black plaid Swallow Skirt and ripped as shit fishnets. This is for the dead gurlz. You know who you are!
And finally in this Swallow Series is "Sick Puppy" I found this weird critter on some japanese site and it screamed make me a T-shirt. I dont really know what it is but we've narrowed it down to dog or monkey. The colors were noxious so I ran with it and made a sparkly denim skirt and vomit colored knit over the knee socks.

Okies thas it for this one. Another post coming in a few with infomation on the upcoming fashion show with Philotic Energy, Vital Animations and Nomine...and the modeling contest info where you can find out how to get a spot in that show and lots of Prizes and CASH.

Til then, I'm out!
