Beware the Pixeled Vendor

…it attacks silently, with little warning, and if you do not heed, it shall distribute poorly crafted clothing. I was building my christmas present this evening (The one for my buddies) when Rox IM’d me and said “Have you been to so-and-so’s shop yet?” No, I hadn’t, so I teleported over. Now, before I get [...]

The Girl of Many Faces

**update #2: I’ve been in contact with various Lindens over the past week who just keep saying, “Go AR them! AR! AR!” The problem with AR is that the system is much abused and doesn’t function like it should for those of us who have an actual problem – and there is more to this [...]

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 [...]

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 Politics of Purchasing: Have you ever refused a [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
