Two Fashion Shows in Two Weeks

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We think you'll like it the simple elegance of it. You can check it out in world at the store. Well I have to get back to get things ready for the party on Saturday! Come have fun with us!

Caledonia Fashion Show

The Caledonia sim is hosting a Gorean Fashion Show, Saturday, February 22, 2008 at 2 pm SL time. It will be our very first fashion show and I'm very excited! Caledonia is a Gorean role-play sim and is very pretty. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Surface%20Isle/6/232/28/?title=Caledonia%20SLurl
We will be featuring Saffron Night, our latest FW gown, and our first gown with sculpted sleeves and the FW Swirl of Hope gown to ease those winter blues. We are showing our popular men's silks of Tooled Bosk Hide - the Leopard version along with them.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Romantic Hearts Treasure Hunt

The Romantic Hearts Treasure Hunt is in full swing!! Visit any of the stores listed in world for landmarks and more information.

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.

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.

We really enjoyed doing this and are setting up some other events this year, so look for more from us.

The hunt ends February 11th so there is still plenty of time to participate!!

Boot Scootin' Fun for Valentine's Day

Yee Haw Y'all !!! My first sculpted cowboy hat is ready just in time for valentine's day.

It has a golden rope, solid gold double hearts, and some fancy peacock feathers for luck and love !!

Get your Western on and hit those clubs for some boot scootin' fun.

Happy 2008

It already seems that 2008 is rocking on by. 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!!

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 :)

Tomorrow we Celebrate MLK's birthday. Share the dream.

Happy Holidays!

Apparently I suck at blogging. 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 :)

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!"

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.

I wish you all the happiest of Holidays and Happy Shopping!!

Changes

For those of you wondering what happened to the shop, it's there. Someone (( not me for once)) accidentally on purpose so to speak, set the Wolf Pet Creations part of our land to group objects with auto return, so most of the store and the items in it got sent back to me. I hate it when that happens!! *L* You'd think after the first 2 or 3 times i'd remember to set everything to group wouldn't you?

Anyway, I haven't had a chance to put it all back out. And i just realized today that about 90% of the items inside the store were no longer there. I was concentrating on the outside and my skybox where i build instead of the store itself.

We also decided to expand our land (unrelated to the incident above) so we purchased mucho land in Coulours, so now we (ok, Wolf's House) owns just short of 1/2 the sim, parts of it even connected.

We'd own half but i just can't see paying 9,000 Lindens for a 16 meter plot with 3 prims :) or 14,900 lindens for a 16 meter plot with 7 prims. If you ever have trouble sleeping you can get me started on the evils of people who buy land and then divide it up into 16 meter plots for ads and my tirade will put you to sleep very shortly i'm sure. We purchased up all the reasonably priced, and i use that term loosely, ad plots, joined them back up, then one of our members put trees on all our land we weren't immediately using. Shortly after that Governor Linden and company ((in the form of the Maintenance group)), came in and put trees on the protected land that might someday be a road. Not sure if that meant they liked our trees or what :)

Anyway, since the land right behind the store was part of our purchase, or at least some of it, I am going to move the statues back there into a more park like area i think. So that should look nicer soon.

Other than some new statues, I haven't put much new material out, but i did buy the AV Painter, so that should help with the 30 or 40 items that were "almost" ready except for some tweaking, like an entire line of Gorean Free Men and Women and silks that I haven't managed to get perfect with photoshop. So by the end of August or so expect a great influx of material. I decided to wait until i could release 4 or 5 items in each group at a time. Hopefully you'll think it was worth the wait.
