Ghost 54 weeeee! You can come get the starter ghost at my place or at any of the hundred stores in the hunt and just go hog wild! Specially made items from tons of amazing stores.

Crush Row at Doll City is also having Trick or Treats with lots more TREATS and a couple of fab tricks!

Most of the stores there are participating and some of the gifts are spectacular and one of a kind so go by there too and grab my spooooky trick or treat bag!

Now be nice kiddies and don't stress out the generous designers by hurling rotten eggs or toilet paper all over their stores. Take your treats...Send a note of thanks if you have a mind too (we just love that) and maybe do a little shopping while you're out!

Sn@tch Inspired at Crimson Shadow

I remember coming to Crimson Shadow the very first time and being completely blown away. Texturally it is awe inspiring. From a builder's standpoint...it is breathtaking. I just thought it was a new mall and club and at the time had never heard of Rezzable. Now after working with the Rezzable group for two events, I am even more impressed by the work and dedication of this large team of builders, designers, creators and promoters and proud to call some of them my friends. Thank you all for allowing me the pleasure to participate in Killer Designers @ Crimson Shadow.



That said, here are my contributions. A very different theme for me as I usually create more modern gothic styles. "Baroness" and "Baron" came out of that passionate inspiration and a love of the clothing of the 1870's western expansion and gold rushes. I wanted to design something that was absolutely wearable in a few different ways yet would evoke that feeling of oppulence and the intense western capitalsm of that time period. These two suits are such a divergence for me creatively and I hope a success.



"Baroness" is a sweeping narrow fishtail dress with glittery beading, a lace trimmed bodice and netting underskirt, topped by a velvet brocade short jacket with single button closure and attached pewter and ruby cross necklace. Sharp prim button cuffs and a velvet tiny top hat with flexy feathers and lace veil complete the look. It can be worn with or without the black fur collar and blood red, opera length gloves. The dress underneath can also be worn alone for a simple and elegant slip-like sheath.



"Baron" is a basic and elegant vested suit with smooth black leather button flap pants, a red velvet brocade vest and pinstriped shirt with bloused linen and lace sleeves. The shirt is topped with a high buttoned collar and loose tie with ruffled lace cravat that elegantly falls down the chest. The suit can be worn with out without vest and/or blood red linen scarf waist. "Baron" also includes a velvet top hat and short crimson gloves.

Again I am so honoured to be a part of this event and included with all of these fantastic designers. Thank you to them for their inspiration and to Lokum Sholova, Adaire DeCuir, Jimmy Thomson, Beatrix Newt and the entire Rezzable team for including me.

The Preview party is today beginning at 12 noon SLT and the Fashion Show including all the awesome designs will be tomorrow, October 19th at 2 PM. I hope everyone can come. Get there early. You wont want to miss the events.

Cutting Class now OPEN

3 decades ago students began disappearing from St Jude's Academy, their bodies found floating in the nearby bay. Drowned, mutilated almost beyond recognition. No one could believe when someone confessed and you won't either.

Come see the scariest halloween build in Second Life. This is not just a haunted house, this is a full on horror GAME. No rotating prim spectres, no pumpkins, no grim reapers. This is downright frightening. So set yourself to midnight, turn up the sound, grab a flashlight and explore "Cutting Class" Presented by Pulse, Vixen Games and Hez.

If you survive with your sanity there are 1000's of $Ls in prizes waiting for you donated by creators like Illuminati Designs, Forsaken, Rara Avis, Acid & Mala, Morningstar, Chaos Lotus, Out of the Box, Metamorphose, The Mystorium, Nightshade, Bloodlines, !Retox! and of course Sn@tch.

OPEN NOW
Here's the SLurl...See you in HELL!

Halloween is Sneaking Up Behind You!

Ooooooo...it's getting spookier. the leaves changing and so dark at night so quickly. This is gonna be a blast of a halloween at Sn@tch and on the Pulse sim. I can't wait to get out all I planned on. I also was just invited to participate in Rezzable's next event at Crimson Shadow and I'm sooo excited. Here's some more new and fun things!

This is one of the most fun things I ever made. I called it the "Bring Out Your Dead" Backpack I doesn't open sadly, but it looks cool and has 12 different casket top textures on click! So many looks for a low price!
I saw the cover of Cosmo with Kate Hudson in a sweet little plaid corset and said...I can make that. I paired it with a plain black sweater dress with two styles of skirt, sculpted turtleneck and cuffs. I don't know why "Mystery Date: Who knows why my mind works like that when thinking of names. It had a mysterious look to it I guess lol

The trash heels are thanks to the fabulous sculpt work of my partner Roblem. I'd wanted to make some slip on shoes for awhile and already had these great heel sculpties. It all came together just right. I have 10 different styles and textures available. Fat packs at a great price are available on request. Here's a few samples for you!
I hope you all have a beautiful fall. Much much more to come from Sn@tch very soon!

All New from Sn@tch!

I have a few new fall type goodies. Here's the pics and info!


The Racer X outfit is five black, white and Red striped thermals in two layers tucked and untucked with three different shades of blue jeans in. Very sexy & these will make your partner's engine purrrrr...

I did the thermals in lots more colors too for guys all girls all in two layers, tucked and untucked. Much brighter than my usual colors. There's no reason you can't be bright for fall!

More to Come!

WTF

I'm crying as I type this and I shouldn't have to be doing this at all, but I feel I have to cause my reputation has been called into serious question and I've been put in the position to defend myself. Phoenix Chapman posted some serious allegations about some jeans I sell in my store. Namely the Punk as Hell 1984 jeans and the Dia De Los Muertos jeans, both made a year ago from a base jeans texture I purchased on SLex when I was just starting out. She claims they are taken from Torrid Midnight's jeans and I do see some similarity in the pictures. They're close and I dont even know if they came from her jeans or from the same photosource and they do look photosourced to me not hand painted.

The texture was bought in good faith and I had no reason at the time to think they were anything but something offered to new designers to help them get started. I modified the textures with my own wrinkles and filters. They were some of the first things I made when I only had a few items in my store. Now after a lot of practice and months of work and experience I draw just about everything by hand with very little photosourcing. It's taken a lot of hard work.

I have a lot of friends who are designers...and several of them have been ripped off. I've sat up all night and cried with them over it, encoraged them to file dmca's and it breaks my heart to think that anyone would think I would do something like that on purpose. I responded on this malicious post (one made without contacting me to hear my side or even inform me that this was an issue) I have taken down the vendors displaying these jeans and will NEVER sell them again. I apologise to Torrid and anyone else that may be involved in this. I've never gotten a DMCA or word from anyone on it before this morning. I heard about it from someone I hardly know sending me a link to her site in world.

This post of hers effects my RL income. It's libelous and wrong and I will be seeking legal representation unless it's removed and retracted or some sort of apology is made. I should have been contacted and given the chance to respond or repair the situation before my whole life was put at risk. So thank YOU Phoenix...you've just attacked and damaged an honest person who unknowingly made a mistake when she was a new designer.
