Soft Rosey Goodness

I got this one packaged up and out finally...so far it's only in a couple of my locations but I'll get it out everywhere soon enough. :)

New Variete Colors

I finally got around to making the ads for these....boy sometimes....I lag about that....have something made for days, sometimes longer and haven't made the ad so I can't put it up for sale. I'm sure I'm not the only designer who does that but makes me feel L-A-Z-Y! So far I put out Blue, Green and Purple...I also made a red version but I of course haven't done the ad yet for it. I've been wearing diff combos of this dress for a couple weeks now and I'm still lovin' it and let me tell you that is rare for one of my own designs...usually i love it for about a day then I want something new, typical SL shopoholic I suppose. I guess I'm a little diff than most designers in that I don't always wear my own clothes...I don't always make the type of outfit I'm in the mood for. It's never fun though when someone starts raving at you about the dress you are wearing and telling you what a wonderful job you did and you have to break it to them that it's not one of yours LOL. Oh well....anyway....hope you like! :)

*Wave* HELLO!

Yay...I joined the Blog club! Today is the start of Hair Fair in SL and OMG...I stopped by last night after midnight and almost went into hair shock! I wanted to BUY BUY BUY and I know before it's over I'll have spent oodles of money and need 10 heads to wear all the hair I'm gonna buy. LOL They've done the shoe wars and now we have Hair Fair....we need a Fashion Expo! Damn, why don't I have an island?? Annnyway....I think lately in SL, as a designer, I've been very frustrated! I read Torrid Midnight's blog today and I am totally with her on the idea that, as a designer you come out with an outfit you absolutely LOVE and you swear it's going to be a HUGE hit and then "dum dum dum" nobody buys it It leaves you thinking, am I that out of touch with what people want in here? I know that we all have a different style and in SL there is everything from Goth to Vamp to Casual to Sexy to Trashy to BOHO to Elegant and the list goes on and on but DANG! am I THAT off on my own clientele? Sometimes it's just frustratin'! YA KNOW! Another thing that has been buggin me is the whole Photosource issue.... Yes, I do photosource...I take a picture of a dress, shirt, skirt, pants that I'm loving and then I warp it, tweak it, change it up, move parts of it here or there, add shading, lines, other elements and make it MINE. Some say that I should be able to take a piece of fabric and turn it into that outfit I saw, and at times, I have done that, BUT I'm never as happy with the end result as I am when I start with that original picture. Maybe some designers in SL don't respect my work because of it but I feel like that's being an elitist and a snob. OK, enough rambling for today, I'm going to get back to working on my newest creation and hoping that someone out there loves what I do as much as I do :)
