Sn@tch Sweet Sn@tch

Here's the place! I'll supply the hot, you bring the chips!
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Pulse/172/207/30



Yea yea, I know more plaid. But I couldnt help myself. It's a sickness. And you know the first step is admitting you have a problem. Four plaid babydoll dresses in great colors with sculpted sleeves and a little empire height textured belt. They also come with black knit ankle socks. This is "Spiderbaby"



Corsets Corsets everywhere...7 of em actually in two layers. I love these and they go so well over just about every top in the store (or without if you like to bare more as I've been well known to). The "Tainted Corsets" are a staple everyone needs in their alternative wardrobe. They're not just for the bedroom! Cause of a ton of requests, man corsets are coming SOON!







Andd lastly...the "Rode Hard" Jeans. This is just the first set in my new line of low rider jeans. I have lots more planned to come. 12 pairs..multiple colors and patterns for now. All low but not super slutty low and all in two layers. But seperately or in a big pack of all 12. Here's a sampling.

Lots of work to do so I'm back to it. With the Passions of Black Swan coming up in a few weeks, the Sn@tch Fashion Victims Murder Mystery Game going on in store til Friday night (you HAVE to come play...tons of prizes given away already) and with Halloween our biggest holiday right around the corner. I don't have a spare minute! As always...thanks for shopping at Sn@tch and lets BAN the drama! Life is too short to take shit...so DON'T!

Luff & PEACE.

Dark and Disorderly

Time for new stuffs again and heading into the fall season with a vengeance. Darker colors, more layers and lots of sweaters and knits. I'm so ready. Here's the newest! In two posts cause everyone knows I hate "below the cut" lol




This is a death cyberpunk nurse/med look that I love and the hair in the female version is by the incredibly talented Rikka Koi of Crimson and Clover and wont be released until the hair fair so NYEH. The ads speak for themselves I think (& SHOES are included as well as a cameltoe sculpty prim lol). Here's Death Rattle for gurls and bois! Man these are way hot and I still have this damn mask on. I swear I'm a little ocd.



This is my fave thing of the week! I was so strangely excited by this sweater. Prolly cause it's my first fur thing and now I wanna cover everything with fur lol. I paired the fur trimmed cropped black sweater with a rolled top texture changing skirt. 12 different skirt fabrics to choose from in solids, stripes and prints. I think this skirt and sweater set is essential for a gurl's trashy fall. It also comes with knee socks that have fur trim at the top. I called it "Half Dressed"



AND course you know me, I had to do the sweater in multiple colors...8 in all. Dark rich tones qith fur collar and cuffs. Rob rolled his eyes when I called em "Bit of Trim"...and ya, I had to lol



In celebration of the almost end of summer, I put the fab bikini fat pack "Redneck Riviera"in the RiotVendor. You get 7 HOT stripey string bikinis in two layers. They make fab swimwear or super smexy underwear. Bring some friends and get that price to a shockingly good deal!

Thats it for this one...more to come!

Sunday Laziness

Heyass,
I slept til 5 pm today, so I'm back on my old schedule from when I was working the graveyard shift in my last RL job lol. now I'm gonna have to stay up all night to get back to seeing daylight in the daytime again instead of sunrise! Funnn...well I have a lot of work to do so I'm sure it wont be a suffer. I do have a few new things to blog on, so here goes...
I saw this tiny vest in a magazine ad and had to make it, I did it in five colors and five slightly sheer off shoulder floral tunics with sculpted sleeves to wear under or alone, tucked or untucked. I threw in a pair of basic dark blue jeans and "La Vie Boheme" was birthed. This is a top fave of the in store models!
The guys deserved something new so I went all out and made what I think is an exceptionally hot sweater. Block patterned black and grey sweater with an embossed skull up the side and sculpted parts that make it look slightly bulky. I added two pairs of the new smexyyy leather pants in black and red. The sweater comes in a couple layers so you can wear it tucked and untucked and it can be worn by girls too with a few slight adjustments. Roblem named this one and its called " Brain Case"
A new gothly thang. I tried my hand at some silks for the Hunger. "1000 Years Gone" is a sexy black and silver halter with a narrow high rhinestone belt and a matching hip belt with long silky brocaded skirt. I wore this all night last night and felt sooo slinky and dark. The set also comes with an inverted pentagram necklace in silver (NO BLING) lol
ok lastly, I made some more hair and I'm getting BETTER at it I think lol. This one was inspired by a short cropped 60's style that really reminded me of Edie Sedgewick so I called it Edie. It comes in 9 hot colors with one two tone in black and platinum blonde (Called the Bride). More hair coming, I'm excited about this one and its got me modivated to try more!
More news! I'm sooo freakin excited to be invited to the next Black Swan Inspired Rezzable Event. I'm starting on my outfit this week and it's gonna be something that wows, I promise! You know me, I dont do pretty and prissy gowns..hehe I'm excited to Rock Black Swan!
Anddd beginning on Tuesday with the services of VIXEN GAMES, Sn@tch will be having it's very own murder mystery game and YOU are invited to a very creepy dinner...the models will be helping out and it's gonna be a blast, completely groovy. I can't wait! More details on TUEDAY about how to get in and the HUGE prizes for the winner and everyone that plays. If you were wondering what the dining table in store is for, thats a tip lol

Ok thats it from Sn@tch for this week...come grab some new cool shit and come molest an instore model. Be nice tho...they BITE!
Luff & PEACE and be tolerant of each other, unless they push that damn wrong button, then KICK their ASS hehe

I love giving stuff away




It's a sickness I know, but I clearly remember what it was like when I was new and had no cash in SL, so now that I make stuff (make a LOT of stuff actually) I love it when I can give something fun. This is just a reminder that my "Living Dead Shoes" are FREE in the main store til further notice. I made these last week and announced them as a new release in Fashcon and on my blog last Wednesday. I don't usually give new releases away, I actually already have a freebie outfit out at the moment of my new leather pants and silk backless halter, but these just screamed to be loosed over the grid lol. They're ultra-trendy slinky trashy gothy stilettos in black lace with small sculpted bows and skulls on the toes. The bows are texture changing with 12 textures in a menu on click. Several solid colors as well as red and black striped, skulls, cheetah, pink plaid, red plaid and white lace. Don't miss out while these are FREE! They're right at the bottom of the stairs to your left as you come in the store.


And come get the Royal Blue Leather Freebie too! That'll be on the back wall in a regular vendor til Wednesday Midnight SLT!
Thats it for now, have a drama-free DAY! And SL pick up the pace willya. I'm tired of being a grey amorphous blob! I'd almost rather be RUTH hehe

Sn@tch just keeps on going...and going



Well I warned you I was gonna have a lot for you this week and I wasnt kidding! This has been a fun one. With the exception of a little shocking surprise yesterday morning...but I digress. There's so much fun to be had, why waste my time on drama and be bitter and frustrated aweeeee. So with trashy and glamorous and a little touch of gutter thrown in, here's the new stuffs from Sn@tch!


"Edgeplay" started out with just the sheer mesh tops which a customer suggested cause she liked the mesh part in the "Crash" set. I did four different patterns...paisley, roses, velvet vines and spiderwebs then threw in a plain cropped mesh top with the same neckline thats fab for showing off tatts under. Then came the Snakeskin pants with a little silver six guns buckle and braided belt. The fringe was a challenge, but I think I got it just right.


So that inspired me to do leather pants..simple basic soft looking leather in four colors and snake skin with a laced fly and really nice ass shading if I do say so myself -grins- It comes with one set of dark grey fringe (tintable) and a silk print backless halter. I was gonna sell these all seperately but I said hell with it and just put them all together at one really low price. "Hell Bent For Leather" always loved that expression.


The halter in "Hell Bent" is from a set I did called "TEASE" It's backless halters in 8 great colors and two layers with a tiny distressed flower pattern. These look dressy with skirts and dressed down casual with pants, give em a try!


Anybody that knows me knows I lovee a corset. This one is zippered and strapped and to the hips but this little dressy number has a twist. A texture changing skirt. Just click and you get to choose from 12 great fabrics on slightly sheer panels. A nice thigh top glitchpant with a leather look and you can wear corset or skirt seperately, they're both finished, so any dress becomes and corset dress and you can wear the skirt with any top. All this with knee socks, gloves and ohhh ya I almost forgot, I threw in a silver studded posture collar too! It's an incredibly good deal and sooo cute! It's called "Strange Fascination"


And just cause I love my shoppers this leather set is free til Wednesday at Midnight! It's a royal blue set of the new leather pants and silk backless halter. Come find them on the big back wall of the store, not hidden. They're in a regular sized vendor and completely FREE!

Thats it for now, one more post coming to remind you of another freebie we have this week at SN@TCH. Luff and PEACE

Sn@tch Takes the Ruth Challenge

I loveee a challenge like this and Ruth will always have a place in my heart. She's like my slightly homely short little sister and it was a blast giving her a makeover with Sn@tch stuffs.



This is Ruth on the left and my own avatar on the right. Nothing done to the images at all except merging them. Here's a list of what I used to do it. I think in spite of the vollyball player shoulders and huge hands (notice I wore gloves) she actually looks pretty hot! I was reminded of several months ago when I was Ruthed, bald and naked for 3 days in a row and cried over it lol.
Thanks for the challenge, I loved it!

Dress and Socks: You Don't Own Me in Purple (Comes in a pack of four colors with kneesocks for $275 L at Sn@tch)

Shocking Values @ Sn@tch!



First of all I have a great deal for you at the main store. I decided the shoes I released last weekend should be a freebie so the vendor is set for $0L right by the main stairs on the left when you come in. They're slinky stilettos with a tiny skull and sculpted bow that texture changes on click. 12 different textures to choose from. A little gothy and very feminine. The "Living Dead Shoes" will be free until further notice, so come get some cute FREE shoes WEEEEE!

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Pulse/172/207/30




Last night I finally finished up my "Kickass Hats" 5 different cowboy hats of a different sort of flavor. One in black and bloody straw with a skull and chain buckle on front, one in snakeskin with spikes all over, 2 colorchanging animal prints and a beat up brown leather with a rattler wrapped around it. Had a lot of fun making these and they're cheappp.

Thats it for today lovelies. Don't forget to come by Sn@tch and get some FREE skully stilletos! Also the other freebie is still on the wall for you to find til Midnight TONITE!

More coming soon!

Are you a most unusual and extraordinary person?




We here at Pulse are looking for you! We have a prime storefront open right next to Sn@tch's main store. The fabulous and talented prim designer, Manna Yoshikawa who has been a vendor on Pulse for the last year since we opened, is leaving SL and her store is up for grabs to a new designer. I've already gotten half a dozen IM's requesting this location from other designers and Manna's rent hasnt run out yet, so we can guarantee exposure.

Pulse, Sn@tch and !Retox! are offering a shop for free to a new designer every month. The shop located right next to the front door of our main store will be available by application and of our choosing each month for a month for FREE.

We love to celebrate and encourage new talent, especially alternative designers (horror, goth, punk, grunge, trashy, glam etc), so with this shop thats been occupied since the sim began coming open finally, we decided to do this.

The rules are simple...
You must follow the directions of the application.You must have been designing for under six months.You must be available to set up your store within two days of notice.Your items must be of a more alternative nature, be it clothing, accessories, avatar enhancements, household or prim design.

Choosing from the applications will be difficult enough, so please follow these instructions carefully. Put the following items in a folder and name it Free Shop Application-"Your Name" and send the whole folder to Ivey Deschanel. Anything that is sent not in an appropriately named folder will be declined and/or disqualified.

1. A notecard that lists, your name, your brand/store name, the approximate date you began designing and a short explaination of why you began designing in SL.

2. At least FIVE vendor ads/images. You are welcome to send more but don't get nuts lol

3. A sample item so we can see the close up quality (can be just a shirt or small item)

4. A landmark to your main store if you have one.

If you are chosen we will notify you personally by the 14th of the month and your free shop rental will run until the 15th of the next month. The free store designer will also be announced in our blog, on the SL fashion feed and in Fashcon announcements and group notices for Sn@tch.

Store Details: The space will be empty and we will allow 100 prims total. up to 50 for product and 50 for the build and to decorate with. Please understand that any heavy scripts that affect sim performance or anything that laps over into the neighboring stores (floating text, lighting etc) we may ask you to remove. No temp rezzers or scripted vendors please, only single prim simple vendors. We also request that you stay somewhat within design style of the sim (no pastels or palm trees!) but have fun with it and be creative and promote your personal brand and style!

Thats it...good luck!
Ivey & Roblem
