Shameful Self Promotion...

Mad said I should do shameful instead of shameless so I'm giving it a whirl. So far I like it :)) The New Release wall is loaded up and ready to go with all manner of spring and early summer fun and hijinx LOL Check it out!

Ok I did these just for fun and mannn were they a lot of work to put together. They are here! Sn@tch Superstar Wetsuits LOL. Three color combos so far. 23 peices in each set for a whole mess of possible combinations. They include 2 bikinis and a one peice tank suit, 2 pairs of low waist pants with sculpted cuffs and a full body wetsuit. Mix and match the pieces for your own hot surfer look! You can't beat this price with a stick!

Nice neutral muted color shorts (way odd for me I know lol) but who doesnt need classic khaki for their wardrobe in the summer? I made knee length capris and a shorter burmuda length in six faded out colors. These look adorable with kneesocks and heels or scuffing around in sneaks or even pair with a bikini top at the beach. Spring/Summer staple for me!

I had fun making these pretty feminine buttondown camisoles. I knowww what's with the pastels Ivey? Well its spring and I guess I'm just in that mood lately. I've been getting really frustrated with doing a good neckline with a thin strap so Rob made me these awesome sculpted string halter straps. They're just one prim and easy to adjust to your tatas and YAY no creepy neck smear!

These started out as something totally different LOL I think they came out cute though with a little retro sailor suit kinda look. There are actually 8 colors in the pack. I think I'm gaining weight and I cant fit 8 images of myself in the ads anymore haha. Brown is the color not shown anyways :))

Love Love these. Shiny black lowrise jean capris with little fleur de lis all over them in 8 colors (black not shown) Sculpted Cuffs included too but can be worn without. These look hot on!

YAY time to relax and enjoy my weekend. I'll be over at the Alternative Fair later doing some last minute grabby hands to get some stuff that will be GONE soon when the fair is over and to donate to Nothing But Nets to help stop the spread of Malaria and the devastating effects of the illnesses and infections it causes in poor areas of Africa and India. Please help if you can by shopping at the fair or donating in a store with our charity kiosks. Every Linden goes to help save a life! Thanks so much.

See you in church!

Because I Can't Seem to Blog...

when the stuff actually comes out LOL here are last week's new releases and a follow up post with this week's stuff. A tiny bit of commentary between but not much cause it's Friday and I wanna have fun!

Dirty Pop was a the first thing I made this week so thats going first. It's a plaid and color block empire dress very flirty with two skirt styles, sculpted shoulder straps and studded black socks and actually sold separately! I do this very rarely but I wanted more colors so I split em up for $175 L each. You can also buy them all together for a much lower price. I have a special color of this at the Fair that will only be available there for a donation.

The Lil Nipper dresses kind of have a story but I wont go into it too much lets just say I was gonna call em the Nipplebuckle Dresses and I picked LIL NIPPER instead. Each pack comes with six colors with attached suspenders and a slim and flouncy mini skirt for two different looks. Each set also comes with two optional sheer undershirts in black and white. They are both tintable so you can do more colors. I did a bright set and a darks set. These are my faves this week. I hope you like!

The Cord Zip Ups and Hardware pants were made to go together and I did a set called Jetway with them (I kinda have a girl crush on Joan Jett lately so this was made with her in mind) But you can also get them in separate packs if you want all the colors

The studded socks from the Dirty Pop outfit in a bunch of different colors too!

And that brings us to the end of our riviting Sn@tch update til the next one when I catch up again LOL Thanksss for reading and come see us at Sn@tch and at our last weekend at the Alternative FAIR! Nothing But Nets FTW!!!

Come SEE

All these things available only at the Alternative Fair from Sn@tch. A percentage goes to help raise money to send life saving mosquito nets to Africa, India and other countries where Malaria and the related infections are killing children at an alarming rate.

Forty percent of the world’s population lives in malaria endemic countries, and its treatment consumes nearly 40 percent of these countries’ public health resources. In addition to the burden on local healthcare systems, malaria illness and death costs Africa approximately $12 billion per year in lost productivity. The effects permeate almost every sector.

It takes so little to make a huge impact. my outfits are $250 L...10 of those buy a net that will protect a family of five for up to five years. Don't take a moment of life for granted. Enjoy your life, your second life AND you can change lives while doing it. It's so easy. Only a few days left of the fair and we need your help. Over 50 designers have shared their talent and time to make a difference. 57 nets and counting....

About the Alternative Fair

NOW at Pulse, Nomine, Snatch City and New Kadath Sims April 22-May 2, the first Annual SL Alternative Fair featuring over 50 designers in Punk, Rock, Gothic, Grunge, Lolli, Visual Kei, Cyberwear and many other styles of Alternative Clothing, Skins, Hair and Accessories. Our goal is to promote all the exciting, extreme and different things the Alternative Design Community has to offer in a funky and fun environment while raising hopefully lots of cash for our chosen charity Nothing But Nets. Most of the designers have also put out FREE GIFTS for shoppers to thank you for coming down and helping us!

Malaria is preventable, but causes nearly 500 million illnesses each year and kills more than 1 million of those who become infected. Ninety percent of deaths caused by malaria occur in Africa, where the disease is a leading killer of children. Every 30 seconds a child in Africa dies from malaria and we CAN do something to stop it. Every 10 dollars USD that we raise buys a bed net for a family and protects them for years. It's such an important and immediate thing we can do to help save lives and we hope you'll join us to support Nothing but Nets by shopping at this year's Alternative Fair.

World Malaria Day was April 25th and In partnership with the Nothing But Nets Campaign we hope to raise a lot of money for our Charity Team and raise lots of awareness and interest for the often overlooked Alternative Clothing, Accessory, Hair and Skin designers in Second Life.

We decided on the most dark and dirty and fun place to be for our theme, the Louisiana Bayou. Seedy, swampy and sultry. Fireflies, crawdads, gators and yes the best booze, friendliest people and funkiest music in the US. We've filled the fair with swamp shacks and built a really exciting and colorful area to shop and hang while still keeping as low lag as possible by using Linden plants and a limited texture palette.

This has been a labor of love and many months in the making with the help of many talented designers and we are so excited and really hope you will enjoy the fair, its events, the clothing, donated items and the warm feelings you get from helping such a great cause. Please make any direct donations to Icharities Serendipity or to a Donation Kiosk at the Fair Grounds.

The Curse of Millhaven by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

I live in a town called Millhaven
And it's small and it's mean and it's cold
But if you come around just as the sun goes down
You can watch the whole thing turn to gold
It's around about then that I used to go a-roaming
La la la la La la la lie
All God's children they all gotta die

Since I was no bigger than a weavil they've been saying I was evil
That if "bad" was a boot that I'd fit it
That I'm a wicked young lady, but I've been trying hard lately
O fuck it! I'm a monster! I admit it!
Well it makes me so mad that my blood really starts a-going
La la la la La la la lie
Mama always told me that we all gotta die

Well I confessed to all these crimes and they put me on trial
I was laughing when they took me away
Off to the asylum in an old black Mariah
Well it ain't home, but you know, it's better than jail
It ain't such bad old place to happy home in
La la la la La la la lie
All God's children they all gotta die

Poem: Through White Plains by Daniel Njoroge

Its eye moons the illumes of mortal thoughts,
Map routes into new lands, lands that are lost,
Scratches; embed curves and scribbles,
Curves and scribbles yet untangle wits riddles,
Meandering unknowingly from West to East,
Graphing witty crops; barring no one to feast.
Cunningly slither through White Plains,
Leaking traces of knowledge and wisdom,
Wisdom unconfined mental freedom,
Mental freedom besought division through wisdom,
Kingdom to kingdom, mortal to mortal,
Traces on White Plains bear as portals,
Portals at hand solve souls’ riddles,
Scratches; embed curves and scribbles,
Map ways into new lands that appear lost,
For its eye moons illumes of mortal thoughts.

The Gates are Open

But it's super late here on the east coast so I'm going to do a bigger post tomorrow with all the details about Nothing But Nets and the Alternative Fair. For now here's a nudge and a SLurl and a big thank you to all the people who have given so much time, work and love to this cause and event. There are tons of special items that the alternative designers of SL have donated to help our Nothing But Nets team and lots of free gifts too! It takes so little to save a life. Never take it for granted. One child in Africa dies EVERY 30 seconds from a Malaria related infection. That is intollerable. Every 10 dollars US that we raise will protect a family for years from devastating illness and death. Thank you so much for helping us in our campaign to wipe out Malaria in the next decade.

Here is a SLurl

Big thanks also to SL Goth Magazine and the Thrifty Goth Group and HEZ for his scripting wizardry! A big kiss to Sileny Noel and Isabeau Reinard of Broke By Payday for taking on being our official bloggers and huge thank you to all the bloggers that came out today to visit and shop.

We'll see you there!

Our love and gratitude to all of the warm hearted designers and fabulous stores contributing to this years SL Alternative Fair.

New Stuff, a few days late

Better Late than never right? it's been a crazy week and I'm finally starting to see a light at the end of a very dark tunnel of work. LOL I had someone in my VIP group say thats prolly a speeding train. But...the Alternative Fair is just about ready to roll and I'm catching up! So here are last Friday's new releases for your perusing. Hope you like!

By far my fave thing of the week. the Squeeky sandals were a team effort between myself and my partner Roblem. He's recently started a sculpting business and has gotten really awesome at it, so I showed him a pic of the platform style I wanted and he went right to work. Now I have my fave shoes ever! Strappy platform sandals with two platform styles, one is flat and the other has a chunky heel sold separately. they both come with texture changing laces on click. 12 colors included AND cute lil Fleur De Lis embellishments on the sides. They fit great and no invisiprim! Loveeeee

I dunno why I had McLovin from Superbad in my head when I made this set LOL, but thats the way my names go. It's whatever strikes me at the time. I adore this set. you get five plaid ruffly dolly skirts with two sweater styles. A shortie cropped V Neck and a long charcoal sweater with sculpted sleeves. I also threw in the socks with kneepads attached cause they just went.

You will see lots of me in these Stomp Knee Pads. No prims, just texture. They come on the sock layer and the underwear layer and I threw in a pair of black knee socks with the pads already attached and a set of fishnet tights like you see in the ad pic.

I made a sweet little roses covered babydoll dress with six rose colors, crocheted top and underskirt layer. Great deal for six dresses and all trans so you can share if you wanna. I'd keep em all though ;)

Loveeee these and they'll be a summer staple for me. Long crocheted tanks in 8 colors and yes totally see through. Not fond of the crack but I love to show nip LOL

Tons of the Shortie cropped V-Neck sweaters on two layers with sculpted sleeves and in 8 fab colors

I'm not a huge fan of showing asscrack but I wanted to do some realllly low latex pants with flares, so I added a pair of leather thongs underneath that are attached so you can look like your pants are falling off but still keep the crack covered. The Superdrop Latex comes in two layers with sculpted flares in 7 colors.

Thats it til next time. Be sweet to each other if you can, and if you can't don't pull back on the first punch -grins-

Humpday is Funday at Sn@tch!

Humpday Happiness is summery cute today in bright colors and great staples making a fab lil outfit I called Lime Aid. You get the jean skirt, a lime green long ribbed tank, topped with a baby blue cropped hoodie and it comes with matching racer socks too all for $69 L. Awesome deal! Don't tease me about my Farrah Hair I love this wig lol

The Stumblebum outfit, Spring Fling, will only be available til Friday. You get two shirt styles with flowy sleeves and black plaid capris with a sash belt and sculpted cuffs for one great price and it's a limited release that will never be available in store again so get it while you can!

Don't forget the Alternative Fair starts tomorrow. All the info on that and our Charity Team for Nothing But Nets when I blog again then! Come see us.

New Releases at Sn@tch

I loveee this its so cute. You get two denim strappy overall dresses with high waists and five ribbed V-Neck tees for one very low price. A sexy look with mary janes or casual and perky with sneakers

These corsets are a DEAL! animal prints, fishnet, velvet, lace and plaid and I threw in a plain black one so you get NINE corsets total. Laced up the back these are so hot. Wear over any dress or outfit to goth it up.

I lustttt these shoes. Sculpts made by the super talented Caterina Canning. I added a T-strap and sculpted foot with ankle sock. the socks are texture change on click with 12 color textures.

Been wanting to make some more classic plaid and what better way than with punk short capris with silver studs and leather cuffs. 8 colors and ORANGE! I never do orange lol

I made some Vinyl Pants awhile back but they were all frou frou with a studded belt and big buckle. These are simple, black belted and wayyyy lower. I love the challenge of showing hip bone without showing ass crack lol

Some basic Deep V-Neck ribbed tees that go with EVERYTHING in 8 colors and on 2 layers

If anyone knows the play Rent, they'll recognize the title of this set of tops. Cropped rubber textured tanks on two layers in 8 fab colors and I even included a bublegum pink in honor of "Pink Shirt Day" coming up. The back which you cant see in this ad pic is completely open and laced up. It's wicked sexy

Come see us at Sn@tch and find some of the best deals in SL in sexy rocker wear, casual spring looks, classic glamour and gothic!
