G.L.A.M. disappears?

Photo credit to Gwenyth at Virtual Strangers    Antie mentioned this to me a few weeks ago, and I just received a Twitter about it again today – G.L.A.M. is gone? For good?  It’s strange when people just up and drop Second Life like a hot potato without saying goodbye. One day we were receiving  [...]

FashCon: SpamCon?

I joined Fashcon originally to be able to see what designers are now putting out. To catch up on the newest sales, the latest news about who was leaving or who was brand new… Last night I left it. In the middle of trying to work (An 11pm-2am shift) in Second Life I received numerous [...]

“It’s only what everyone’s thinking.”

Armidi: NOT Vaporware!

Vaporware, vaporware, vaporware! After the lovely time I had this evening thanks to Sofia Grey, the next time I hear someone saying VAPORWARE they’re getitng tagged with the title “BOOB”. I’m not joking either! Alla Ruff has a tagger! With boobs! I WILL BORROW IT AND USE IT. ARMIDI IS HERE!!! And it’s fan-freakin-tastic! I’m [...]

The Fast Track to Fame, P.III

The amazing thing about shopping is how visual appeal, not really price, is what drives people to purchase. That being said, ads and vendors need to have aesthetically pleasing graphics to boost sales.  I’ve seen great vendors, I’ve seen hideous vendors, but it’s well stuck in my mind that a good advertisement will equal a [...]

The Established House of ARMANI ™

I just got done visiting Armani in SL. I wouldn’t have known about it, except I had IM’d Tamara Kirshner of Going Broke with Daphne and Tamara and she offhandedly mentioned how disappointed she was. I immediately asked for a teleport, because I remembered seeing Armani tentatively looking into Second Life a year ago while [...]

The sky is falling! (Or, Anshe Chung’s $10L items)

So… time for another discussion this week. With the recent complaints about high-priced Second Life “couture” and such, what do you think about Anshe releasing hundreds of $10L items into the grid? Do you think it will bottom out the economy? (also, sub-question : what’s with all the hate this week?)

The Politics of Purchasing

Hi guys! It’s slow again round these parts, so it’s time for a discussion. I know Iris covered the rumors of Fashion Payola a short while back (on the same note, have you ever been paid to NOT blog someone?) but today we’re on something new. The Politics of Purchasing: Have you ever refused a [...]

Linkage.

Hit me. August 03, 2007 Op/Ed: I was wrong by Tenshi Vielle, Fabulous Fashionista“We All Have A Weakness But Some Of Ours Are Easier To Identify.” –Dig, Incubus Did you ever just have one of those days? Well, as it appears, I’ve had one of those weeks. One of those weeks that, in a slew [...]

Whole lotta analyzing goin’ on.

I felt it was necessary to link the SCD readers over here to MeanGirls for them to put in their two cents if they so wish. It appears that there are conflicting sides on the issue, and even a few of the singular commenters appear to be conflicted within themselves. But I’d just like to [...]

Hi, I’m back! :)

Skin in Glow : Totally 80′s by Soda; Fantastic Plastic glasses by Royal Blue; hair by ETD (group freebie) ; earrings by JUNK ; sweater by Yenta Semyorka of Y7. Eyes by Fashionably Dead. Hi everyone! I missed you! I know I was here commenting over the past business week, but I took a much-needed [...]

hiatus or holiday anyone?

hello, Eva here. As you guys can see I am still new here. Still very new. However due to some circumstances, I haven’t written much on SCD lately (and partly I got Harry Potter to blame for that..oh well..just finished it..and I felt…*blank*), not feeling very well RL, workload and life has taking much of [...]

Bershka Bulls**t

OK, just letting everyone know; Tenshi made me do this. She held a sharp prim to my head, made me go to the newest corporate clothing entity in sl and buy things. Now, I’m not against all corporate clothing companies in SL. I’m sure some of them do very nice things. Bershka, the corporation we’re [...]

Fashion Payola

It appears that consumers and designers alike have begun to question the validity and truth behind the bloggers and the blogosphere – in terms of SL Fashion.There are rumors that some bloggers are *paid* by particular designers to tote their wares. The rumors go on to say that designers are becoming afraid of the bloggers, [...]

Queen Couture vs. Paper Couture

Let’s have a comparison, shall we? Esmerelda Oh.

Credit Card Blessing or Pyramid Scheme?

**UPDATE** A little bit more digging between RL stuff today turned up this link and that MetaCard is being released by an avatar named Tyra Fierrens. I’ll post again when the gal IM’s me back. THE METACARD – Merchant Information Introducing the First Virtual World Credit Card… In RL, about 18% of all purchases are [...]

What a Night! – reported by Paisley Jannings

What a Night! I intended to only VISIT the Closet Crisis event, but once I got there they convinced me to enter and I was one of the 3 finalist…WOW! Such fun. This was the first of their fashion events I could make and I will be hitting them again. Those Closet Crisis gals are [...]

Psst…

Paper Couture invites came out today – they’ll hold the event in the Fuschia sandbox. Dresscode : Black.

What on earth…?

Sarabi shuts down hair shop, sells items full perms to a few people. (Effect: Freebie Sarabi hair runs rampant in SL.) Sarabi gets a new alt. Same first name. Sarabi creates new shop, Runway, under new alt. Sarabi shuts down alt’s shop. Cause? “RL issues.” Same as before. Legit or Trick?

Face of Asia contest

Well, here’s who made the cut to the 2nd and are receiving their interviews tonight with Caliah Lyon and Nicky Ree!  

“MB Designs”?

Apparently, House of Nyla will be seeing some competition this week and beyond if this “MB Designs” clings into SL at all. From their group listing: “HI LADYS! IM A RL DESIGNER AND NOW STARTIN MY SL DESIGNING! Im searching for a MUSE AND MODEL FOR MY DESIGNS! JOIN MY GROUP AND TAKE PART AT [...]

SL Next Top Model: A Contest To Do Nothing But Waste Your Precious Time.

[19:29]  Jada Hoyer: my winner getting 5k modeling jobs and as for swindle i just gave away 50k and about to do it yet again muted Apparently, Jada holds a grudge for the article I wrote [...]

Snaps Outfitters Rant

Okay, I gotta do this. Sorry guys, and I LOVE SNAPS, but it’s just… gah I guess I love the concept behind Snaps more than I love the clothing. Well, that’s not even true. I LOVE the clothing – it just needs improvement. I discovered this evening that the skirts and all prims ARE made [...]

How to NOT get blogged… rather, how not to get blogged in a good light.

[20:09] IM: Iris Seale: Hi. I write with Tenshi Vielle, fashion reporter. We’ve been looking around your place are thinking of featuring you in an ‘urban youth fashion’ piece. Can we request some review copies of some of your pieces? [20:10] IM: Iris Seale: woot! i’m all a-twitter [20:10] IM: Iris Seale: cool. i have [...]
