Ever since whatever her name was in 1st or 2nd grade MADE us exchange those cute little valentine's cutouts with everyone, whether you meant it or not .. I haven't liked it much. Then there was the time my boyfriend's dad sent me flowers and a wonderful card about how great I was, and my boyfriend thought it was just another day. And those are the two GOOD valentine's I've had. The rest were .. well ... just another day.<br /><br />So why do I have the post Valentine's Day blues? We decorated the Zyngo park for Valentine's Day and now I don't want to take them down! It wasn't like Valentine's Day was especially good this year or anything .. it was .. just another day as usual. <br /><br />It's almost too early to decorate for St. Patrick's day ... i need a holiday between the two! It's not leap year and Easter comes in April ..too early for spring flowers ... maybe ice skating? Olympics will soon be over but ice skating .. mhmm.. that might just work. <br /><br />We'll get back to you about it!Tawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-10623040233989721292009-08-04T21:15:00.006-05:002009-08-04T21:46:56.852-05:00It's 5 o'clock somewhere on Wolf Isle!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxKwffNDhHuoNbuLB_V1PaRyc6aMnta5SOeCbwtfIvPBilcCkCnt93rp5pF8_6woX-6duTbvSUr9eglnuwm5R0lzY1zZibv6_C9z_FlmWCSX3Qzk5HyweIaK3NeOhdcdATQiyhBLBkovaU/s1600-h/Zyngo+Park+%40+Wolf+Isle_005.png"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxKwffNDhHuoNbuLB_V1PaRyc6aMnta5SOeCbwtfIvPBilcCkCnt93rp5pF8_6woX-6duTbvSUr9eglnuwm5R0lzY1zZibv6_C9z_FlmWCSX3Qzk5HyweIaK3NeOhdcdATQiyhBLBkovaU/s400/Zyngo+Park+%40+Wolf+Isle_005.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366304318770687970" /></a><br />Wolf Isle!

IP address ..etc .. and 2) it has a different classification under the tickets and after all how many folks could be going the island route?<br /><br />So now it's July 7th - my $250 is still in my account and we have no island. Maybe a zillion people wanted islands and they had to order more servers. <br /><br />I'm "turning on my patience" or "practicing my patience" as we tell the little ones in my family.<br /><br />And I'm laughing .. at who i'm not sure .. probably myself .. BUT<br /><br />I have managed to read 4 decent books .. go 11 plus levels in Everquest on an old SK i had there (I'm at Wolf's so we play together ) and make about 30K plat in EQ - <br /><br />I should be making clothes for SL or zyngo skins or something but I'm having fun doing other things and once that darn island finally magically appears we are going to be having tons of fun setting it up ...<br /><br />So I'll wait ..and try to do it patiently.Tawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-78382833478008487682009-06-17T23:02:00.000-05:002009-06-18T00:13:44.826-05:00The Short StrawThe last couple of weeks I've been hitting up various Lindens and their offices hours to help us decide which option we want to pursue on the whole .. stay or move ..and if move where to issue we have.<br /><br />If you haven't been to Blondin or Blue's office hours I highly recommend them. I usually don't get to go because of work, but because we are off for a bit, I've been teleporting my avatar self just about everywhere.<br /><br />The array of people attending ... and their opinions and downright tenacity is truly amazing. The amount of somewhat passive agressive crap Blondin and Blue at least pretend to put up with is staggering. I'm probably guilty of some of it myself.<br /><br />It's been loads of fun though. I hope they find it somewhat amusing as well even if they did draw the short straw on the deal.<br /><br />See you in world,<br /><br />Tawney,<br />Wolf'sTawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-61621481837915625932009-06-16T15:20:00.003-05:002009-06-16T16:02:14.727-05:00Fun with Age Verification - is it dishonest? disrespectful?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUN3ze0K6xxLGhe_z7ctCophQJ4ehhVv1XWKB4otextrhtAeaG-KlABhWw889Y4zjm3PhIndnjnzNrqygyEqfgMbJlGTQ1QFr7jJVVmr1m3Vr1y4aZ-zMhi41yfXisAvWVoB2Nns6rR0B6/s1600-h/View+It+All+Poster+JPEG.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUN3ze0K6xxLGhe_z7ctCophQJ4ehhVv1XWKB4otextrhtAeaG-KlABhWw889Y4zjm3PhIndnjnzNrqygyEqfgMbJlGTQ1QFr7jJVVmr1m3Vr1y4aZ-zMhi41yfXisAvWVoB2Nns6rR0B6/s400/View+It+All+Poster+JPEG.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348032599488549682" border="0" /></a><br />Ah yes, now that the new Second Life viewer is online and the Zindra continent preview is in full swing it's time to think about the whole age verification issue.<br /><br />First off, I really don't get the whole Aristostle will have my info and dispurse it issue. I kinda go on the theory that NOTHING is secret - whether that is first or second life :) Now there may be things people don't know but it's not because the information is not out there.<br /><br />Soo -the powers that be at SL have assured us that payment info on file is enough to access adult places and they are correct about that - BUT once i discovered that if the land owner checked the allow only age verified box I COULDN'T go to their parcel .. then i DID age verify Tawney Bian, and i used my real info. So now I'm age verified and payment info verified and the only way you can keep me out of your space is a group only tag or a ban!<br /><br />BUT I got to thinking, from a "we do want customers to find us" and what if THEY don't want to give their real info to verify standpoint we have the whole - CAN you REALLY age verify with dead people's info?<br /><br />Well .. my alt ..... err... i ain't saying one way or another!<br /><br />However, hypothetically speaking ...<br /><br />This IS for SL afterall ... lets at least be creative about it folks!<br /><br />Step 1: <a href="http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi">Social Security Death Index </a> - if you use the ADVANCED feature ..you can pick somewhere you always wanted to live for example and the age you wish you were ... the possibilties for creativity are endless.<br /><br />Step 2: maybe choose the name you WISH your parents had given you .. an enemies first name .. an old lover's last .. a childhood friend .. see .. amazing possibilities!<br /><br />Step 3. <a href="http://www.whitepages.com/">White Pages</a> - you can use the zip code and name info to get a street address ..<br /><br />Step 4: hypothetically speaking i didn't even check the box that wanted me to say it was true and correct info .. though legally it IS true and correct ... it doesn't ask if it's YOUR info .. but it verified my alt anyway .. well .. it WOULD have .. had i done it that way you know.<br /><br />Sooooooo ... questions remain:<br /><br />Is it disrespectful to the dead person you don't know or does it give them a "second chance" to live?<br /><br />Is it dishonest to age verify with someone else's info or because the info IS correct does that make a difference? What about if you didn't click the "this info is true box?"<br /><br />Does it matter whose info you use if you really ARE an adult in the first place?Tawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-11701864545204876602009-06-13T23:27:00.002-05:002009-06-13T23:51:04.115-05:00The Seven Deadly Sins...Errr..I Mean Checks!I downloaded the new preview of the proposed Second Life viewer they made available for testing today - because I'm getting my "Click It to Pick It" .. "It's Your World - choose ALL of it" adult content consumer education campaign ready and I wanted to see for myself how it was going to work. I'm a see for myself kinda chick :)<br /><br />Soooo ...I go to preferences before logging in and under "Ratings" .. which is in the general tab so easy to find ... and the statement is:<br /><br /> I want to access content rated: PG only is checked AND I can't choose anything else. I think to myself, "Mhmmm." {for real}<br /><br />I log in.<br /><br />Once in world I WAS able to go back to preferences and look at ratings, and now my options are not grayed out. I can choose between PG Only, PG and Mature, and my favorite - PG, Mature, and Adult. I clicked apply and "Ah Ha!" we were good to go. {for real}<br /><br />Then I pulled up search. In the All search tab I selected PG Content, Mature Content right below it, and Adult Content right below that and played around a bit, finding myself - if only it was that easy offline :)<br /><br />Then I went to the Classifieds tab - another "Mhmm?mmm" {for real} .. I am only checked for PG Content. So I check Mature Content. Then check Adult content.<br /><br />And Move Along --<br /><br />SAME story on Events, (no options on Showcase), Land Sales, Places, (no options on People), and Groups. EVERYTIME I moved to a new tab I have to check Mature and Adult.<br /><br />Sooooooo .... in Preferences I have to choose I want to view mature and adult content before I get to search, THEN on SIX tabs I have to specifically choose Mature and Adult Content before I can "see" them.<br /><br />7 Deadly Sins = 7 Deadly Checks ...(ok 13 if you count checking both mature and adult) but you get the idea.<br /><br />Shoot, in some places I'm not even committing ONE deadly sin by being an adult, much less all 7.<br /><br />Now they are just starting to amuse the heck out of me :)<br /><br />Wish you well & i'll see you in world!<br /><br />Tawney Bian,<br />Wolf'sTawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-55262983627423823072009-06-12T20:54:00.004-05:002009-06-12T22:39:23.362-05:00Zindra - To Move or Not to Move ? That is the QuestionAs we - we being the adults who deal with adult stuff in Second Life - anxiously await the announcement that Zindra is open for the big 2 week preview the questions loom closer ...<br /><br /> Do we move all of it to Zindra? - I'm going on the theory that we can move all of it .. our homes ..businesses .. game park .. the whole thing -- because i've been resigned if not entirely happy about the whole thing since we intentionally purchased our land in a "mature" region instead of a PG one .. but I'd move to seriously pissed off if they said .. well you can move half ..your other half doesn't qualify .. one advantage of owning a buncha land in the same sim is a buncha prims in a pool after all -<br /><br /> Do we move just the adult part of our business to Zindra? - while we pay for a whole sim ..we don't own a whole sim .. just MOST of it ... so in theory we "could" move probably 2 of the 3 fantasy suites and the statues and not pay anymore tier ...but again ..there's the whole prim pool thing we have going on which is rather handy .. and it would be JUST my luck that as soon as we took some land in Zindra .. then poof ..the land we've been waiting to open up in Coulours would magically appear for one linden or something and then where would we be? ..<br /><br /> Do we just ditch the adult content part and stay where we are?<br /><br /> Do we take them up on their offer to give us a reduced price for an island and pay an extra $100 bucks a month?<br /><br /> I've been checking out various Linden's office hours .. and the Land Expo presentations and researching the whole island thing. I think the Linden employees are trying very hard, it's just that it's hard to explain that mature and PG didn't work out like they planned .. mature got a little more press than is good for business ... well other than the sex trade business .. and that's hard for ordinary corporate boards to accept .. when they see these millions of potential people NOT coming into SL because "It's just one of those internet sex sites." We know it's alot more than that but the press and public like "the story", not details that might contain truth. Anyway Blondin gets the patience of the year award for his office hour session this week - and not just because he answered one of my questions :)<br /><br />The Land Expo was somewhat useful to learn about islands .. even though I think I scared [or possibly just irritated?] MJ Linden .. hey HE ASKED why we were there :) ... i just told the truth .. i generally ALWAYS tell the truth ... i was there to explore options about whether or not to move to Zindra or take them up on their reduced island fee offer or not .. in his defense the employees have taken alot of crap from alot of people about the adult content issue .. so I get where he was coming from<br /><br />i didn't even point out that i took OFF my "I am adult content" tag before porting over to the site .. {speaking of the site .. /rant on y'all should DO something about having the same pose for all the balls on the benches there - that irritated me more than the whole A/C thing does - because it's SUCH a .. i don't know how to explain it ... but it's not a good for my avi kinda pose *L* /rant}<br /><br />Anyway, MJ and Mia and Kate all gave some useful info or at least where to find useful info about island ownership so i'm glad I went<br /><br />We've wanted an island since forever - or at least about a month or two since joining SL - i have visions and possibly even delusion of grandeur regarding my ability to rent out land - curtailed only by my cynical and realistic approach .. that if you can lose money in SL .. then i'll find a way to embrace it and make it my own ... who else owns a game park that costs them about an extra $100 real dollars a month ...<br /><br /> Mhmm ...maybe we ditch the game park and get the island ... only then I want more than one island because .. i have this plan .... damn ..where's that rich benefactor when you need em?<br /><br />What I do know is this .. we'll make the best of it .. whichever option we end up doing .. i just wish I knew which option that will be<br /><br />Wish you well,<br /><br />Tawney,<br />Wolf's<br /><br /> <span class="contentBody"><span id="bodyfont" style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;" ><br /></span></span>Tawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-50375543701835670542009-06-02T21:45:00.003-05:002009-06-02T22:24:14.225-05:00Ooops - SL might be serious about this whole PG thing!I was roaming around SL a year and a half, two years ago? and ran into the whole sex room rental thing and thought "how very tacky" yet "interesting" and I was intrigued -- and then I found LaVanya's Fantasy Suite rentals - and had an ah-ha! moment. Something fun and sexy but classy to create that takes no real talent! Right up my ally! <br /><br /> So in my usual manner of planning and plotting and then spending a literal and virtual fortune on equipment - I created The Marquis' Chateau a bdsm type chateau with some really cool not your typical hour rental spot equipment inside and a rooftop playground, Kamchak's Wagon for my favorite Gorean Tuchuk crowd, and the Naughty or Nice fantasy suite which is a holiday themed spanking oriented cabin in a snowy holdiay setting, my own little fantasy come to life or as close to it as second life allows.<br /><br /> All in all, very well done if I do say so myself :) It was a blast creating them. I unfortunately never really figured out how to market them, so it became more a drive by thing on rentals except for a few friends who borrow them from time to time. I'm relatively sure Lavanya's would have accepted us as as affilitates and we could have joined their fabulous network but I never think of it when I'm online, just off, and while we traded a few - sure i'm interested IM me type things we never met or did the hook up.<br /><br /> Anyway, this week on Xstreet at https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=110813 Stroker Serpentine posted about how the majority of his products had been completely borked because ONE script in them was blacklisted by LL. Which meant all 3 of my suites were affected. We contacted Corsi Mousehold, because we had purchased our sexgen items from her store and she fixed them right away. <br /><br /> I'm fairly certain I refunded anyone who might have rented a suite in the last month their money. But if not, please IM me and I'll make it right. For the few folks who complained I made the assumption it was the security orb making the suite unusable, not the equipment, and just refunded their money upon request without asking for specifics. Some folks will go into more detail than i want if I ask "what went wrong" so I usually don't ask when it comes to the fantasy suites :) - I LOVED making the suites, but am not a big fan about using them myself .. irony overflows in my life :)<br /><br /> All our suites are up and running .. at least for another minute until the "adult content" changes go into effect. Even though we are "mature" and "adults" I'm thinking both our fantasy suites and our arguably "erotic statues" sections are going to be nerfed - unless I want to invest in the "adult continent" ... do we?<br /><br /> A question for another day I think.Tawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-58900051700706499582009-05-10T19:52:00.004-05:002009-05-10T19:54:40.283-05:00and the Wolf smells a Hunt*quivers in anticipation* soon the Hunt will be on ..... <br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.jeaniesing.com/Xmarksthespot.html"><img style="border: 0px solid ; width: 468px; height: 60px;" alt="banner" src="http://www.jeaniesing.com/x-marks-gif-banner.gif" /></a><br /><br /></div>Tawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-35804940352971377922009-05-09T23:12:00.005-05:002009-05-09T23:35:55.612-05:00On one hand .....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK8J1zcOIDEtpnZydWlSkP9aY9gQDYek6emwKJp5XqqgGp9NHseqrf6Nj2O2ODyYP4hXpLJNSGELKF9ZyujQOJCgXWV-tkv91z2FX8doV0dfbYgn-SzGW-A4gPn5F6-MtNProbXDmJczHA/s1600-h/900+x+125+Banner+Both+JPG.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 45px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK8J1zcOIDEtpnZydWlSkP9aY9gQDYek6emwKJp5XqqgGp9NHseqrf6Nj2O2ODyYP4hXpLJNSGELKF9ZyujQOJCgXWV-tkv91z2FX8doV0dfbYgn-SzGW-A4gPn5F6-MtNProbXDmJczHA/s320/900+x+125+Banner+Both+JPG.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334048978985215634" /></a><br />On one hand it's been that kind of week. First I was off work, then I wasn't. Offline things were going great then I went to the dentist. That'll ruin your week fast. I started a great (if I do say so myself) line of zyngo skins called "In the Wyld!" but haven't finished because I'm stuck on ...you ready? ... the Wolf version. Now HOW could that possibly be hard for me? <br /><br />I upgraded the zyngo game park to include Deal Classic and Deal Extreme, Jaded 5 card kickers, some new Zyngo Freeplay machines, AND Solitaire! How many languages can you say broke in?<br /><br />Zyngo de Mayo didn't quite have the peppiness I expected, but I didn't start marketing it soon enough either. Soooo ..be ready for next year!<br /><br />Today I made the new Banner Logo you see up above. Now once we discover the secret to getting it placed just right we'll be good to go. <br /><br />Blogger is user friendly if you are using the standard layout. I still haven't figured out why they leave so much room on the edges? Why is that? Anyone know? I actually LOOKED for an answer to that earlier this week and must of been using an incorrect search term because I can't find a post to explain it.<br /><br />Okay, back to the Wolf skin ... or maybe a swim suit ..or some ..where IS that new store of mine?Tawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-37624416181550243732009-05-01T19:57:00.004-05:002009-05-01T20:36:44.691-05:00Unexpected Vacations - Unexpected FunMy offline birthday was last week, and I purchased myself a new flat screen LCD monitor. Wide screen. BIG! Well, okay, 23 inches. But that's BIG compared to what I had. It was HARD to buy something like that when I had a perfectly fine, if unwieldy and clunky but worked okay old monitor. It was ALOT easier to justify once I plugged it in :)<br /><br /> Thanks to the H1N1 Virus I have an unexpected vacation for 9 work days. I was going to drive over and "grab some work and go" today but they said they wouldn't let us in the building. So here I am with unexpected time on my hands. <br /><br /> Last night while I was pondering how to texture the sombrero I'm going to give away to the group for Cinco de Mayo, I got an invite (via a group I'm in, not a personal one) to a rez day party for Teague Linden. Since any party I've been to with a "linden" present was super fun I put on some dancing shoes and went on over. Nexeas Fatale was DJing his Thursday night dance party that turned into Friday morning and I had a blast dancing the night away - right up until I crashed, which happened MUCH later than I expected so all was good! I must say people in Second Life know how to party! <br /><br /> The new store is going to be GREAT! Here is a small preview of the general layout. It's going to have arched windows and a sunroof type roof. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqu-a34sfTQ8lf-BsTH9FI7GTXdxOB0GTloufkGzcovzILzqfFWbNAzLmsjzX8DWO5ta7LMO7WhtpPM_XNhCLj4mvRwOSaNe41XyWn8PXleLPK9MrJzgDz_X4X9xZEpXqIintzggvdrM3/s1600-h/New+Store+Layout.JPEG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 233px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqu-a34sfTQ8lf-BsTH9FI7GTXdxOB0GTloufkGzcovzILzqfFWbNAzLmsjzX8DWO5ta7LMO7WhtpPM_XNhCLj4mvRwOSaNe41XyWn8PXleLPK9MrJzgDz_X4X9xZEpXqIintzggvdrM3/s400/New+Store+Layout.JPEG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331032811263990674" /></a> Kasolai Nighbor is building it for us.

Alive but Generous will Work!Ah the vagrancies of making money in Second Life. In 3 years, okay, almost three, I've never cashed out a single penny or even linden,never made enough to pay even the smallest tier much less the one we have, spent hundreds of real dollars (don't TELL anyone) and yet .. here we continue to be. <br /><br />I amaze myself at how easily amused I must be. At how much I literally suck at creating things people will pay for. Don't get me wrong, I am AWESOME at creating free things people will stand in line to obtain. <br /><br />Sooo, I am seeking either a rich dead [the will must leave most of your assets to me] Uncle, and/or an alive but generous soul. When all is said and done I don't need ALL that much, a few million ought to cover it. Or say, oh, a couple thousand bucks for starters. Checks, money orders, and cash all accepted.<br /><br />I'd like to say there's something in it for you, but we'd hate to lie. <br /><br />Or you could come play at our zyngo park and win money, we've given away over 12,000 linden today in our instant win machines - not counting contest boards - and we aren't a place for high rollers - well at least until the rich uncle part steps in :)<br /><br />I'm feeling broke, can you tell?!<br /><br />And oh yes! I put out another swim suit. It's pink. I forgot I hated pink, however it's "ummm yummy" as one of the guys on the beach told me :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv0DMLEVW6aZfClyxXCg2U_GWrKNuqLpihy_L7mhp5jUXCrIoUumF_7xDEdc8-bl_n1l4KkUXzLXvPpYkUSZ7F8EjZ0O11hGXmApTN4c435Q2pC1YOXs4XtzEtskmUXIBi92wANHknQeqA/s1600-h/Pinked+at+the+beach+JPEG.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv0DMLEVW6aZfClyxXCg2U_GWrKNuqLpihy_L7mhp5jUXCrIoUumF_7xDEdc8-bl_n1l4KkUXzLXvPpYkUSZ7F8EjZ0O11hGXmApTN4c435Q2pC1YOXs4XtzEtskmUXIBi92wANHknQeqA/s320/Pinked+at+the+beach+JPEG.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326565805980698194" /></a><br /><br /><br />If you WANT the job as rich uncle just let us know!<br /><br />Until then we'll keep making things and having fun - cause in our case it "ain't about the money, honey" ---- obviously :)<br /><br />Wish you well,<br /><br />TawneyTawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-40495693778545308972009-04-12T10:03:00.002-05:002009-04-12T10:13:33.943-05:00First 10 Days of AprilHappy Easter!<br /><br />As the rain and cold pour down, I am reminded that today, for me, is a celebration of renewal and rebirth. <br /><br />I will leave shortly to join my offline family to celebrate life this day. <br /><br />Whatever you do this day, I hope you take a moment to just be. <br /><br />To acknowledge life and your spot in it.<br /><br />I take this moment to celebrate and acknowledge the awesome sites and people you find within the Second Life community.<br /><br />May we all be blessed with renewed hope, life, and friendship this day.<br /><br />Peace be with you.<br /><br />I wish you well,<br /><br />Tawney,<br />Wolf'sTawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-43186475694569226632009-03-21T21:39:00.005-05:002009-03-21T23:00:34.936-05:00Chill Coba wins with 110,400 Points!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQwilxbCpY2toHOhnIsxHh1Lv4VP425NcvxxG1wX18Gazj0lzd-o_WPjjRUAf5bDzdMYgkmRDW47zvqdhAVbpdbZYE7qs3VPzKu8r7EMWRCUIlS5K65_XuwEacvGBkB3EX4KjYfi_h0WjJ/s1600-h/Chill+Coba+Both+JPEG.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQwilxbCpY2toHOhnIsxHh1Lv4VP425NcvxxG1wX18Gazj0lzd-o_WPjjRUAf5bDzdMYgkmRDW47zvqdhAVbpdbZYE7qs3VPzKu8r7EMWRCUIlS5K65_XuwEacvGBkB3EX4KjYfi_h0WjJ/s320/Chill+Coba+Both+JPEG.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315855029618169394" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Wow I really do suck at blogging consistently! ... Now that we have that gem of the obvious out of the way, here's life in Second Life and offline.<br /><br />The fabulous man who owns me hasn't been coming to second life much due to a serious work and personal offline schedule so you'd THINK i'd have more time huh? ... sadly, not the case.<br /><br />In the last month or three :) the Zyngo Game Park has seen some slow but steady growth ... which is improving traffic to the just short of the 3K range. That's real traffic by the way, no bots ....I know it seems small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but hey, it's a start.....<br /><br />Our $4L play to win a part of $200+ lindens contest board is becoming quite the popular event! .... This board pays out every 2 1/2 hours. I put up the first $200L and $2L from every play increases the pot. Chill Coba won this round with our highest score ever! ..I didn't even know they went that high!<br /><br />I am still making zyngo skins, though primarily for holiday type things. I made the Luck o' the Irish skin the day before St. Patrick's Day - and we were ..well lucky to get that out prior to the date! I must not be the only one running behind because we actually SOLD one the day after! A avatar after my own heart!<br /><br />I DO have one Easter Skin up, boxed, and ready to go! .. i feel soo almost normal to have something out a couple weeks or so in advance!<br /><br />I've sketched out designs for 5 more, 3 Easter and 2 spring . Now we'll see if I get them done!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUNnJ0wc_2WkwJmSdWVXBUuhCjDA5cmDZqMDr1B1t1Y3QeuSIkUkVujsKHBCFUx64IHR0E14-P9KcgeMQ_4enBRfIPFRkiu-j1Ccz0E4yd2PDfrEBNPhbI0JjDSnI9FFEq-fHanjSK-7l0/s1600-h/Easter+Chick+PIC+.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUNnJ0wc_2WkwJmSdWVXBUuhCjDA5cmDZqMDr1B1t1Y3QeuSIkUkVujsKHBCFUx64IHR0E14-P9KcgeMQ_4enBRfIPFRkiu-j1Ccz0E4yd2PDfrEBNPhbI0JjDSnI9FFEq-fHanjSK-7l0/s320/Easter+Chick+PIC+.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315855970884381650" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Catch me at the park if you like!<br /><br />Until next time,<br /><br />Tawney,<br />Wolf'sTawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-62721649380441766502008-11-28T15:03:00.002-06:002008-11-28T15:24:43.465-06:00Zyngo Game Park ManiaI love vacations! It's been so long since I was able to create anything due to offline circumstances, and NO, I wasn't in jail, just super busy with work and family commitments.<br /><br />The fine folks with the 4096 spot in the corner of the sim who had it for sale for months for what I believed to be an unreasonable price, finally gave it up to a land broker, who gave it up to us for a reasonable price. It was land they outbid me at auction for, i'm sure thinking we'd pony up some big bucks to get it. Patience is forever your ally as one of my favorite people is fond of quoting. <br /><br />Because of that, you can now ICE SKATE for free at our lovely holiday rink. Will post photo's later when it's finished. Still a work in progress but mega fun to skate in nontheless.<br /><br />We are back to creating! Have I mentioned I love Zyngo!! This week we added 10 more machines and updated our Zyngo Game Park - and started making Zyngo Skins and accessories. Even if we never sell one, I had the BEST time making them and they make our little game park the epitome of cuteness. <br /><br /><a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y265/Tawney_wf/?action=view¤t=GuruofLoveZyngoStylePNG.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y265/Tawney_wf/GuruofLoveZyngoStylePNG.png" border="0" alt="Zyngo Skin Guru of Love"></a><br /><br />Check out the new zyngo skins and the upgraded look of our Zyngo Park!Tawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-82047618324545447572008-04-12T00:12:00.003-05:002008-04-12T17:04:04.439-05:00FREE items across the Second Life™ Grid<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqcOpxahUrZeVNQxVx9owwTqvvkeTtZEWAC7g5fKnLx6S9KacSQlh51OV7Mbh36NPQDXHwk8Tmm1wQtU0HPLsG0Y70aohRX3Ho-0fmAXyWSgCae6UDnEzNeW7bSo-tzTHqsv5q2ihb2xW9/s1600-h/Red+Stick+Hunt.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqcOpxahUrZeVNQxVx9owwTqvvkeTtZEWAC7g5fKnLx6S9KacSQlh51OV7Mbh36NPQDXHwk8Tmm1wQtU0HPLsG0Y70aohRX3Ho-0fmAXyWSgCae6UDnEzNeW7bSo-tzTHqsv5q2ihb2xW9/s320/Red+Stick+Hunt.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188227070842782162" border="0" /></a><br />We are participating in the Red Stick Animation Festival Grid-wide Hunt!

I did get some things accomplished.<br /><br />I finally introduced Walk on the Beach, I wanted tops to go with it. We introduced 2 to sell with the cute capri pants with sculpty cuffs!<br /><br />Ohhhhhh, and speaking of sculpty, I learned how to texture sculpties this week! Why didn't someone tell me how fun that is earlier?? So watch out, I forsee numerous sculpty parts in our future :)<br /><br />I started with a pair of His and Her cowboy hats for Relay for Life, available separately for $L 50 donations. Make SURE you check our ACS RFL vendor before you buy so you'll know it's an official one. I'd like to keep this blog PG or I'd post what I think about the people ripping those off - slime doesn't even BEGIN to describe them. Make sure you check all vendors you want to donate to and receive a gift, they have a nifty page that pops up with info certifying the vendors this year. Gotta love technology. They will have <a href="http://slrfl.net/kiosks/certify">http://slrfl.net/kiosks/certify</a> at the beginning of the url -with the matching code from the vendor.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIjhZFtPI3sKAo3n15se5Ht9ecPsIEZfVq81MM6ZcoHzaRDcs5xDchiTcRNmQRMQ6iYLBrAFJk6mrd3ocu2v1H2zXezUXjdZlLKEFZk_AJFue9Cm-rDpGXYAh1C2qMUf4wsisx09OHU567/s1600-h/Cowboys+for+a+Cure+RFL+++PNG.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181392008663470818" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIjhZFtPI3sKAo3n15se5Ht9ecPsIEZfVq81MM6ZcoHzaRDcs5xDchiTcRNmQRMQ6iYLBrAFJk6mrd3ocu2v1H2zXezUXjdZlLKEFZk_AJFue9Cm-rDpGXYAh1C2qMUf4wsisx09OHU567/s320/Cowboys+for+a+Cure+RFL+++PNG.png" border="0" /></a><br /><br />And I may have saved the best for last here, hard to say since my creations are somewhat eccletic in genre!

We had soooo much fun and we actually had entries!!!! LOTS of them. I was actually quite pleased - and alot of people said they had fun doing it too, so I'm putting this event down as a mission accomplished!<br /><br /><br /><br />Each participant was assigned a number as they turned in their folders with the wolves, and then we drew 4 numbers from all the entries received. <a href="http://www.random.org/">http://www.random.org</a> is the website that generated the numbers.<br /><br />Our winners were Deana Stawberry - no I didn't leave out the "r" - she's a special no R berry - that's her in the picture up there with her $L One THOUSAND linden dollars check in front of the store. We gave her real lindens too since not too many places take my check in second life.<br /><br />Corus Ivory won the roll for 1st place and she celebrated her $L 750 winnings with some virtual champagne!<br /><br />Dominata Iwish was our 2nd place winnner, she can shop til she drops with an extra $L 500.<br /><br />3rd Place went to Kruz Kumaki, who checked out with $L 250 linden dollars. <br /><br />Congrats to all the winners and to everyone who participated! We hope y'all had as much fun as we did. <br /><br /><br />Let's do it again sometime soon!<br /><br />Wish you well,<br /><br />Tawney BianTawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-72320650816595476422008-03-09T21:05:00.001-05:002008-03-10T21:41:58.681-05:00Lawn Party<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq0Sdk4EWqq1QwkVj7Kd-NSwVT8ZMiS5jwUuiLZdnXWGlDyN9sBtYG9TNogmk7Bg6xGyvEBLV5Q6we0Z40Gx-U3NJP2HS0Qn2AvLZEFe7wz2Ez7DeO-DpmDUPkhkQF1HwjJmSQabkMZfM8/s1600-h/Stage+JPEG.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176301847797304834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq0Sdk4EWqq1QwkVj7Kd-NSwVT8ZMiS5jwUuiLZdnXWGlDyN9sBtYG9TNogmk7Bg6xGyvEBLV5Q6we0Z40Gx-U3NJP2HS0Qn2AvLZEFe7wz2Ez7DeO-DpmDUPkhkQF1HwjJmSQabkMZfM8/s320/Stage+JPEG.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Whew! Our first party I will put down to a success in spite of being borked by SL for most of it. Lately SL has been freezing me up and kicking me out. Even after a complete delete and reinstall. Anyway, I took some pictures at the end of the party. Someone remind me to hire a photographer to take pictures when I need pictures. Second Life and I seem to have some sort of Event Photophobia affair going on.<br /><br />You can see the fabulous stage built by our friend and neighbor Kasolai Nighbor. He builds the cool flintstone inspired cars you can find in my shop. He and Wolf Bain are the ones who fix up the land every time I mess with it - so I'm quite fond of him - plus he changes things up to just the way I like them - like this stage!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEVL5huN86EGizlbLcP_18hQDJauulfo86VLl3SugN96NxutLZzyqQ4_p4a78V4R61MK47Q9ClvnZ-keQAVOy2N3FnH4lbEoetdLV-aVSF2fegKrK0quS0MCBITW6j2Sk9NWST9HejnX-H/s1600-h/Fairgrounds+JPEG.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176304665295851058" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEVL5huN86EGizlbLcP_18hQDJauulfo86VLl3SugN96NxutLZzyqQ4_p4a78V4R61MK47Q9ClvnZ-keQAVOy2N3FnH4lbEoetdLV-aVSF2fegKrK0quS0MCBITW6j2Sk9NWST9HejnX-H/s320/Fairgrounds+JPEG.jpg" border="0" /></a> You can see the Fairgrounds we set up here. I love fairs. Being able to "ride" fun machines is one reason I love Second Life so very much. I actually loved the carousel from the second I saw it and snapped it up right away - then came the ferris wheel but I just rented the Frisbee - until we get more funds - It's loads of fun! The skydiving from Cubey's rocked too!! I bought the bubble machine so if ya need to borrow them just let me know and I can hook you up. Otherwise I just set the carousel out now and then and ride it myself. Does that make me weird?<br /><br /><br />From this angle you can see the store just in the background - I love my store, however, it's almost time for a bigger one.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjprXEFWcNodMtc2c5iu6bTieM-1NN7w_vADXUA87Vb91riScJ6STmuFkaH5JUIXzTqcVR6WWE4y0_doHMYqIVIUBHr_XKUNi5w9mDDhfCRE2pI3_LSic8QVXRdoqoKl3PCzKgrWNxalzWX/s1600-h/Store+in+Background.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176306722585185858" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjprXEFWcNodMtc2c5iu6bTieM-1NN7w_vADXUA87Vb91riScJ6STmuFkaH5JUIXzTqcVR6WWE4y0_doHMYqIVIUBHr_XKUNi5w9mDDhfCRE2pI3_LSic8QVXRdoqoKl3PCzKgrWNxalzWX/s320/Store+in+Background.jpg" border="0" /></a> We had so much fun at this party we'll be doing it again. Probably in May or June. We'll have some minor events between now and then - but look for another big one in a couple of months. I made a new years resolution to do one event per quarter.<br /><br />Thanks to all our new friends who attended, and we hope to see you at the next one!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYdRXTAul_VfB-MO4Hm1u8b0EYUjtzazsTt_R6unkhYVYsUeOfoHEEv004eVtR6dsfRPzv_WZnPv6seRuDpWABulmS1Iby_L4m7OweMvpU9cF87LRETOjogk67cbHSDfXXSwe6lrIu7qcv/s1600-h/Store+in+Background.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div>Tawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-83964042819444814272008-03-06T21:51:00.005-06:002008-03-06T22:25:42.182-06:00Two Fashion Shows in Two Weeks<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT7PirS4RAETXW6skgveJORAL1RBkh33LUTiylxCxzx0FictCiLA3YRXAQ1kdpgn7E__4aDPGTr_H-ZbggEprezNjgLF1_1zswI1l0UNLkaNfdvGxPf82uTBTkGygdCEaUDlUWvMotBjMo/s1600-h/Vincent's+Hope+JPG.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174848643722888946" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT7PirS4RAETXW6skgveJORAL1RBkh33LUTiylxCxzx0FictCiLA3YRXAQ1kdpgn7E__4aDPGTr_H-ZbggEprezNjgLF1_1zswI1l0UNLkaNfdvGxPf82uTBTkGygdCEaUDlUWvMotBjMo/s320/Vincent's+Hope+JPG.jpg" border="0" /></a> Two fashion shows in two weeks and our big event at Wolf Pet Creations is this week ! I was fairly certain I had moments of insanity and now we know for sure!<br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>I have to say having items you made in a fashion show makes one feel positively fabulous even if they were beginner shows so to speak. What a great time I had, and a learning experience as well. </div><br /><div></div><div>For the Caledonia show I used items I already had made and up for sale. It was STILL a little hectic but I have to say superbly put on by Candie Rau, Storm Octavia, and Joseph Surface. It was fun and I learned alot about how to both "be" in a show and "put" on a show. Unfortunately I was so excited watching everything that I didn't remember to take photo's.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>My friend Lana Shostakovich of Events by Lana was doing a Fashion Show and Art Exhibit at Vincent's Hollow Beach Retreat. Since I'd hired her to run our Lawn Party on March 8th, I said sure I'd love to present something, and that I'd give her 3 outfits for it, a casual, a formal, and a swim suit. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I went back to my skybox and looked around and thought to myself --- "Self, do I make swim suits?" --- and then I went into a modality of panic because the answer was, "Ummm, no, you do not appear to have a single swim suit that you've made anywhere." After much thought and walking around the wrong Vincent sim - I went to the Vincent Van Gogh sim and listening to Starry Starry Night, we have *drum roll please* - Vincent's Hope - my first swim suit creation. After the initial headache of trying to get the little triangle in front to go away (tricky that little triangle) I think I like creating swim suits and plan to make many more. </div><br /><br /><div></div><div>Unfortunately, this time I DID remember at Vincent Hollow that I needed to take photo's, so I took a "practice" photo to get the folder on the hard drive set up, and "boom" SL crash to desktop. I made it back in time for the finale. Here is Fanch Morgwain in our "Enigma" formal gown at the show. </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5174849464061642498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFeyFpH6Dh8c2nWGGfcqlOmVuopuoMpeNyxHPHOWtAhyphenhyphenUspCNRMD2lxpA-giO_Hgt-MM1z-X8Z-0wavoXCKoy1iReHb6uqjxh5aZiAZFUWTl61y0ic8bN9MjBPCWWiBL6MHgx2bITmOOZu/s320/Fanch+in+Enigma.jpg" border="0" /></p><p> </p><p>We think you'll like it the simple elegance of it.

Visit any of the stores listed in world for landmarks and more information.<br /><br />The idea for this Treasure Hunt was dreamed up by Arikinui Adria of Nuclear Boutique and she's done all the work arranging everything (the ad to the left, all the hearts, store participation, etc. etc.) and setting up the system for the grand prize drawing. Special thanks to her for opening it up to our participation.<br /><br />I did the hunt myself. The reason our hearts are NOT hard to find is 1) it's our first in world event like this 2) it went in alphabetical order on the list and many people did the hunt that way (including me) and by the time we got to Wolf Pet Creations we were tired even though it was a blast trying to figure out where everyone hid them. There are some FABULOUS prizes out there folks. Many worth the hunt.<br /><br />We really enjoyed doing this and are setting up some other events this year, so look for more from us.<br /><br />The hunt ends February 11th so there is still plenty of time to participate!!Tawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1998479440918448906.post-71961774274995418602008-02-02T01:50:00.000-06:002008-02-07T11:50:01.061-06:00Boot Scootin' Fun for Valentine's Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7QePBvQ7nCHpty2TZKVFw4dU_rXC8PgJQQbs0OXyk3RkwAR_47GyA2PG7eCFLXXpXEbwjC0WeF8iCAJ-dqXcjcvUzIsNYXePYMjX6MJu64zVGPD9bleSq9zlsozWwYsx_QapEesFh21Pl/s1600-h/Hearts+of+Gold+Cowboy+Hat+2+copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7QePBvQ7nCHpty2TZKVFw4dU_rXC8PgJQQbs0OXyk3RkwAR_47GyA2PG7eCFLXXpXEbwjC0WeF8iCAJ-dqXcjcvUzIsNYXePYMjX6MJu64zVGPD9bleSq9zlsozWwYsx_QapEesFh21Pl/s320/Hearts+of+Gold+Cowboy+Hat+2+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162288210708597682" border="0" /></a><br />Yee Haw Y'all !!!

I went to the KingBilly concert in Second Life last night and it was Fabulous. They really rock the country so to speak. You can check out their concert stage and hotel in Second Life and their MySpace page. You can purchase their singles to play in SL or purchase their CD with lindens. It's a great idea!!<br /><br />I had a photoshop lightbulb moment today so expect some better clothing from me in the future, although I still prefer simple items. I have also put out a few new Gorean FW dresses in Sardar Fair and in the shop at Coulours, some new statue cut-outs, and discovered how to make the logs surrounding the dance pit at our Kamchak's Wagon Fantasy Suite do the poses that I wanted them to do - so improvements all around today. I love days like that. Now if I could ever figure out sculpties we'll be in business :)<br /><br />Tomorrow we Celebrate MLK's birthday.

Actually offline work has just been so busy and crazy I haven't had as much time as I'd like to devote to either building, creating, or blogging. Maybe those lottery numbers will come up soon :)<br /><br />We've had quite a few changes in and around the store. I added a ton of new statues or cut-outs around the holiday themes, Halloween and now Christmas, new free women gowns, and most importantly the PERFECT Men's T-shirt. I know this because - 1. Wolf said it was and 2. A French gentlemen bought one and declared " that's perfect!"<br /><br />Our friend Kasolai created some highly detailed and accurate Stone Age cars inspired by the Flintstones and they are available in my shop and around Second Life as well. <br /><br />I wish you all the happiest of Holidays and Happy Shopping!!Tawney Bianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12290608824662776171noreply@blogger.com0
