Let's try this for the third time...

I've been trying to post this for the past three days without much success. We've been breaking records for temperatures this week. It's been so hot that my computer finally decided it had enough Wednesday night. These temperatures got me thinking...if humans ever have to pick a representative to visit Hell, choose a woman that's lived her entire life in the desert and has been through menopause. (I think that would deserve nothing less than a purple heart!)

Anyway...I've put out two new ones (sorta) in the store - Kira and Industrial. Both these were freebies in a limited capacity at my Hair Fair booth. I never would have bothered to put them out in the store had I not received some gentle prodding from a customer.

Kira is one of the styles I had done as a potential Hair Fair entry. The hair is gathered off to one side and is flexi. It's held in place with a metal medallion and embellished with two metal rings and chain.
Skin is by Chai - Celebrity in nutmeg
Glasses - Ricx's
Sweater & Jeans by Dazzle

This one is Industrial (shown in Blueberry Bomb) and is another style I had created as a potential Hair Fair entry. Again, the hair is gathered to the side and held in place by plastic tubing. Plastic tubes are mixed in with the hair and the bangs are held in place with safety pins. The hair at the sides is "shaved" with flexi tendrils.
Skin (which is the only thing I'm wearing) is Galaxia by ND/MD.

Don't keep it in, let it out!

A couple of weeks ago I had an experience in SL that left a bad taste in my mouth. I was not only angry and frustrated but extremely dejected. The stupid thing is, it really wasn't even to do with me. I won't get into specifics because I don't make accusations lightly - I like to have all the facts/proof before I start pointing a finger and naming names. It was this event and several RL incidents that brought me towards the "bottom of the barrel."

Again the universe has a funny way of handing you things. Since that time of the aforementioned events, I met some absolutely beautiful people in SL and have gotten positive feedback about the store - some of it was direct in the form of messages, other feedback I stumbled upon. The feedback has left me speechless and astounded. I'm accustomed to spending most of my time looking at the top of my avatar's head while she's sprawled out over a pose stand. I occasionally wonder if it's worth continuing on with creating styles, then I go back to fighting with prims. So... the point of all this is ...I know I'm not the only designer that goes through this especially if the designer is just starting out. If you find a style you love LET THE DESIGNER KNOW but maybe do it in the form of a notecard. I don't know about anyone else but a lot of messages don't seem to make it to me and I'm not one of the large names by any means. So spread the love and hug a designer. :)
