Kittylicious has moved (again) but wherever they go I'll follow. I've gotten some of my favorite things that I wear all the time from them. And I'll say this, too. Every time they move it just gets better. I went to check out the new store and it's HUGE!

Also, join their group! I am in it, and they always give out the best free gifts! Check out the totally adorable heels that they're giving out right now in celebration of Valentine's Day! Stop by, get your pair... and check out the new store!

Elexor Matador Jewelry USED to be one of the best places to go for gorgeous high prim jewels. Today I was doing a round of shopping and was looking for a stunning modifiable choker, and thought of EMJ. I followed the LM I just recently got from the Jewelry Expo, and wound up on a large empty field, where the owner ([redacted former owner of EMJ]) was standing. I walked over to greet him:

• [15:58] Chloe Cantrell: hello there!
• [15:58] Chloe Cantrell: am i in the wrong place?
• [15:58] [redacted former owner of EMJ]: yes
• [15:58] Chloe Cantrell: your LM sent me here :)
• [15:59] [redacted former owner of EMJ]: do you see anything?
• [15:59] Chloe Cantrell: um
• [15:59] Chloe Cantrell: well obviously not
• [15:59] Chloe Cantrell: would it be too much trouble to give me the correct LM?
• [15:59] [redacted former owner of EMJ]: for what>
• [16:00] Chloe Cantrell: your store
• [16:00] [redacted former owner of EMJ]: I don't have a store.
• [16:00] Chloe Cantrell: EMJ jewelry
• [16:00] [redacted former owner of EMJ]: again, do you see a store?
• [16:00] [redacted former owner of EMJ]: its gone. I tore it down.
• [16:01] Chloe Cantrell: is there a reason you are being rude about it? seriously i think i am asking pretty nicely and to be honest i have blogged about your things
• [16:01] Chloe Cantrell: i mean, no need to offend people who have spent money with you
• [16:01] Chloe Cantrell: i didnt know you took down your store
• [16:03] [redacted former owner of EMJ]: Chloe. I don't care. There is no store here.
• [16:03] Chloe Cantrell: ok but you didnt need to be rude about saying so
• [16:03] Chloe Cantrell: talking down to someone being perfectly nice to you
• [16:04] Chloe Cantrell: "do you SEE anything here?"
• [16:04] Chloe Cantrell: "again do you SEE a store"
• [16:04] Chloe Cantrell: do you SEE a reason to be a jerk to someone who had no idea and obviously liked your items?
• [16:04] Chloe Cantrell: NO
• [16:04] Chloe Cantrell: "so sorry chloe, i shut it down..." or something would have been much more classy and polite. good day
• [16:04] [redacted former owner of EMJ]: Thanks, mom.
• [16:05] Chloe Cantrell: im not your mother, OR your child, another reason to not be RUDE
• [16:05] Chloe Cantrell: i did nothing to you
• [16:05] Chloe Cantrell: but support your business
• [16:06] Chloe Cantrell: im sure no one would take kindly to a stranger talking down to them for no reason

With an attitude like that, it's no wonder his business has shut down. Not only have I spent upwards of $1500L per item at his store, I have blogged about it as well, free of charge out of admiration for his work. But when you treat adoring customers like $#!T just because you can no longer make a pretty penny off of them, it is a HUGE turn off. If he reopens his shop, I will not be back. And I encourage you all to save your time and Linden for use elsewhere, with people who will appreciate those who admire their work and help pay their tier.

Shame on you!

Leezu Baxter Designs will be releasing the following gorgeous new designs in time for the Kudos Fashion Show this Sunday...


Clouds of silk in delicate watercolours and a barely-there gilded bodice makes for a breathtaking vision of a dress. Reminiscent of nostalgic holidays in far away places, the floral accent for the hair completes this romantic, regal, captivating dress. The colour options alone put a scent in the air - Lilie, Orchid, Tulip and Rose.


Also new from LBD, the sexy Nightlove jacket combines satin velvet and sheer flexis to devastating effect. Beautifully paired with Nell in 4 new darker colours and wraped in shape- delicious!

And for all who missed it:


These items will be released after the Kudos Show! Sunday, October 12, 1pm

I logged in today to a last minute invitation to view the new line by Scarlett Niven at a beautiful fashion show closing with the release of doves. The theme was black and white to best showcase the vivid colors she used. As you can see from the slideshow above, she had innovative designs and textures such as rocks and stone, animal prints, and florals. To check it out yourself in person click here for a lift!

We all remember the recent tiff that went down between Iota Ultsch and a certain German "fashion blogger"... winding up with said blogger on the receiving end of a swift stiletto to the tuchus on her way to the ban line. I guess that's what happens when you try to corner designers into giving you free stuff or else... The image posted here has done it's share of circulation, and the comments section went wild after Iota and I decided to make it a little contest to guess who the sheisty trashionista was. For the record, the contest lasted all of 10 minutes, so I guess when people read "Think German SL, think scammer, think inflated ego", they knew right off the bat who it was. Just for shits & giggles, the now infamous capture:



Why is this coming up again? Well, Iota being Iota, she just had to get the last word. Today she distributed to members of her Tres Jolie group, a gesture she made in Miss Nadja Baxter's honor. I don't know if I can do it justice but I'll try.

In her own voice, you hear Iota saying "Hey! ROADKILL! Smile for the camera!!!" as the words pop up on your screen. As you say "Hey! ROADKILL!", your Av will wave... and when you say "Smile for the camera!!!", you will gesture as if you were holding a camera, and you hear one flashing away.

No she didn't! Um, yes. She really did.

Gridlocked Clique group members will all be getting copies of this sure to be talked about gesture as well! So if you aren't in the Clique... get in where you fit in.

I just love Kittylicious, so you can imagine my excitement when I went to check out their new Mainstore location! It's probably about twice the size. There is a big main area where the clothing and accessories are, a hair shop, a tattoo shop, and a shoe store. Not only that, but they have added plenty of new merchandise, from skins to tops and shoes! If you are group member (which I am!) they have the most adorable pair of shoes as a gift to thank us for the support! Waiting for a friend to TP in? Lean up against the LUSH pink convertible. Definitely check it out and don't forget to get a new landmark for your inventory.

Nyla Cheeky has done it again with some great new designs for House of Nyla. If you aren't already in the know, House of Nyla is an in world expression of Nyla's RL designs. The textures and over all quality of her designs are above standard, worth every Linden!

This time, she is bringing us back to school with the most adorable school girl outfit I have seen in a long time! And we all know how much I love a good school girl outfit! But this one is not your every day, played out interpretation. Nyla add's a, well cheeky top hat, and cute-as-a-button blazer, with matching shoes.




For the naughty under the skirt, Nyla brings us yet another set of detailed and feminine lace lingerie!






Be sure to stop by, especially if you have never been! But for those who are long time lovers of her line, make sure to pick up these sure to be classic new pieces!

From the Rezzable website:

There are almost 90 participants, spreaded across 4 sims. The Hair Fair is sponsored by Rezzable, who have donated the islands for this charity event. Hair Fair donates proceeds to Locks of Love, an organization that donates wigs to children who suffer hair loss due to cancer, burns, and other conditions. This year, all designers at the fair will donate 50% of one hair style to the charity. And of course, you can just donate without getting virtual hair in return on location too.

I just HAD to go check it out! I mean, 4 Sims of just hair? And the fact that some of the proceeds go to such a great charity, Locks of Love, makes it easy to justify a bit of a shopping binge. Here are the styles I picked up:

Not only were there simply TONS of styles to choose from, but sooo many freebies and dollarbies! Here are my favorites:

These are my favorites out of literally hundreds of hair styles, and there were skins and outfits and other fun goodies thrown into the boxes too!

Definitely stop by the Hair Fair, you don't want to miss it! You only have until September 7th so don't delay! CLICK HERE TO TP!

Okay: it's been a while... I know it! But I've missed you all! Well it looks like I'm back and for those of you who missed me too, I've got a humdinger of a story... and a bit of a contest. Details at the bottom of the post:

Okay so get this: what well known German fashion blogger/event coordinator was recently 86'd from Tres Jolie? And why? Well it seems this blogger, irritated at being denied free couture in exchange for giving rave reviews, scathed about the quality and value of the merchandise in her posting. Records indicate that said blogger has never once purchased an item from the store, so how she can vouch for quality in either direction, or ponder the justifiability of the prices against the quality without ever having worn an item or seen it outside of a picture is beyond me. The stores designer and owner, Iota Ultsch spotted this blogger in her store, and couldn't resist a bit of confrontation. After pointing out the hypocrisy of the blogger, who reportedly "don't buy a dress for 800 or 1000 linden to post it on my blog" yet who claims to own 4 sims and can easily afford to... Iota then quipped "The point is, you insult me and my business and then stand in my shop like a hypocrite....and you think I don't care? I should ban your ass... in fact I will..."

And that she did, as the blogger stammered "B-b-but I'm doing a fashion expo!", voice trailing as her av soared. Iota was able to catch this image:



Totally giggle worthy.

Okay so here's the fun part: You gotta guess who it is! The first person to post the correct guess in the comments (and this means correct spelling, too, kiddies!) will win $1000L from Tres Jolie, along with a free Tres Jolie "Fashion Assassin" Parasol, and an additional $500L from GridlockedClique.com! That's $1500L and one of the season's hottest accessories, ladies! Get crackin!

More hypocrisy from one who claims to not get her ideas from RL or SL designers:


Bianca F


Prada

Makes this ad of hers all the more amusing...


lol

On Bianca's blog, under "Ethics & Journalism", Bianca said, among other things, this:

I have sent a response for the criticism I have received. They have not pubblished it and if they will, they will push "saint Digit". Instead they have cut and paste only the parts which interest them. This is not ethical.

/me sighs, rolls her eyes, and chuckles before saying:

Excuse you, but in the very first post I made about this, I put TWO of your responses IN FULL. I also posted the pics you gave about the outfits in question AND the initial pics I received from my source. I didn't HAVE to do either, but I CHOSE to to be FAIR. So quit trying to make this seem like something it isn't. God you just have a new lie every day, don't you? Ugh. Poor Poor Bianca, everyone is picking on you for NO reason!

How about at least ADMIT that to some capacity you were "inspired" by at least SOME of Digit's work. IT IS SO OBVIOUS. Otherwise, shut up already attacking the individuals who blog about this. You know good and well you were given opportunities to say your piece. Your "responses" have been posted all over the web. Quit calling out unfair treatment. We are just posting the news and gossip. You are "creating" it.

Let me catch you all up. Since I posted the article about this scandal involving Bianca F. and Digit Darkes, the blogosphere has began a ripple effect, with posts popping up about this all over the net. Over at Shopping Cart Disco, Tenshi Vielle talked about it, and I have been checking the comments on her page as well as others to see what people are saying and see what Bianca is saying, more specifically, in her pathetic attempts at self-defense.

Tenshi had said "You know, I’d like to see some of Bianca’s RL designs sometime. Can someone procure those?"

Well it just so happens that in our 3 hours long interview, Bianca volunteered to send me an image of a RL dress design she CLAIMS is hers. I do not know WHY she offered this image to me. But she did. I left a comment letting Tenshi know I have it and would love to share it.

Within MINUTES I received an IM from Bianca in a raw state of panic, practically pleading with me to not blog this image. She threatened that it was a violation of the TOS. I'm not sure what all the panic is about BUT, the TOS clearly states:

"Linden Lab has designed the Service to be experienced only as offered by Linden Lab at the Websites or partner websites. Linden Lab is not responsible for any aspect of the Service that is accessed or experienced using software or other means that are not provided by Linden Lab."

That being said, here it is:


I wonder if she is so afraid of this pic being blogged because this is just a random pic she took off the internet, slapped her name on it crudely, and is trying to pass off as her own design (sound familiar?) to somehow legitimize herself as an SL designer. Which is truly ignorant because the skills involved in RL design are totally different when it comes to construction than the skills required to do so in SL. Either way, NOW I'm posting it just because she doesn't want me to. The panic is there for a reason. Let's see what it is.

Bianca, after all you have said to me, all the lies, all the threats: now it's personal.

Kiss my ass.

I have just received the following Press Release:



Alienbear Gupte, one of the most famous and prolific designer of the finest jewelry in Second Life, has created a pair of limited edition one-of-a-kind crowns for prom king and prom queen to be auctioned off at 4 PM SL time (GMT-7) on Sunday June 22 to complete the DiS Relay for Life “RFL” prom event to benefit the American Cancer Society.

The pair of crowns are extremely detailed with baked shadows and glistening jewels, totaling over 700 prims, each prim painstakingly hand placed by the master jewelry maker Alienbear Gupte herself over the span of a week. They are to be worn on multiple attachment spots. The pair of crowns reflect the DiS RFL Prom theme of “Celestial Life,” and also that of Relay for Life. In Alienbear’s own words, “I get the inspirations from the UK Royal crowns… ‘Cross’ represent the ‘Jesus' love’. A Cross in between the flying heart just imply ‘the love of all people around the world join together to share their love to the Cancer patient & their family.’”

Designer CaSimone Aquitaine, the master builder of this immersive high school comments on the crowns, “Alienbear dedicated so much time and effort to truely make these crowns into strikingly beautiful works of arts.” Fashion Consultant and Designer Ina Centaur, also the Artistic Director of the SL Shakespeare Company, asserts that, “These are truly the most detailed crowns I have seen on Second Life.”

The DiS RFL Prom event was held 5/14 and 5/15 evenings in a totally immersive 4-island virtual simulation of a real life high school event. The high school portion of the build included a “working” high school—uncanny levels of details with dozens of classrooms each containing different academic subject posters and chalkboards, library, car shop, offices, locker rooms, and working shower and lav, and everything else. The prom was held in a giant gym spanning two island simulators, and decorated by over one hundred and eighty designers in the Designers in Seclusion “DiS” group. DiS raised close to L$200,000 this weekend, bringing the team total to nearly L$1,000,000.

The bidding begins at 4 PM on Sunday June 22. All who arrive will receive a small gift from Alienbear whether or not they are the prom king and queen to take away the crowns.

To preview the crowns, please TP to:

This image was sent to her group:



Whether from Balenciaga's vintage logo or current logo, it is obvious she copied it. The vintage one. Fine. What point are you proving? That you went into Photoshop and turned one B into an F?

Here are the two logo's we ALL have seen Bianca use:



and



Looks pretty obvious to me...
