*wakes up in a ditch somewhere in Idaho* Oh man what day is i- oh crap!
That, my dears, is is the emblem of your dreams. Until September 8th, anything in ETD with that lovely marker on it is half price. Get them while the getting’s good~!
There have been some neat and atypical releases this week, so I’ll be devoting some time to them. Bear with me and you won’t regret it. A lot of designers who’ve been a little quieter on the scene poked their heads back in, and at the same time some regulars shook things up, so lets give them a little rundown. Tuli Asturias of Lollypop brought out some cute corset styles; Roslin Petion and CJ Carnot of Tete a Pied released their fresh and delicious v 2.0 skin line with a super fun fairytale themed party last Saturday; Kala Bijoux of Material Squirrel broke once again from her usual fare of wings to release a new tail, a flexi and fluffy tail for the neko folks; Nephilaine Protagonist of PixelDolls has taken a break from Iki (get well soon, Torrid!) to post an adorable Limited Edition at Pixeldolls, available until September 30th so there time to save up; Ginny Talamasca of Dazzle released a customer appreciation dress, an empire-waisted number for a paltry L$20, while also fiiiinally releasing some new undies parallel with some by Lo Jacobs right across the prim street; finally, Nyte Caligari and Sol Columbia colaborated to make of of the most HOLY-COW-WOW outfits in awhile, September, for Luminosity. Plaid is rad, BTW!
A few new fashion discussion blogs worth checking out (and I may be repeating myself in some cases, but that is just for emphasis!) are Wanda Rich’s Electric Venus and Nicholas Shaftoe’s Second Man. On the subject of Second Man, Nicholas has started the Second Man classifieds, another helping hand for designers in preparation of the forums closing.
The loose ends this week: Episode 30 of Secondcast is finally FINALLY out, and offers a nice little lexicon of the inside jokes prevalent in the show; Alaska Metropolitan posted an nice tutorial of the dos and don’ts of ad design, so check it out (please? ^_~); there was some more hair drama, but it’s all been resolved in a relatively favourable way, so yay(zerama)!; and last and possibly least, there’s an article on NWN about the SL fashion industry and those who blog it.
