From virtual to reality

Pee's Tee leaps into reality

As some of you may have noticed, I have a small display in my main store featuring some of Pee Yue's Happycat tees (the more tame ones...hehe). Happycat tees are mostly simple, white words on a black tee that definitely cater to people with a sense of humour.

Two of my favorites I can't seem to get tired of wearing are the "Waste of Bandwith" and "I made 52 cents today" tees. I also particularly like the "I have a penis" tee. It is a great little number to change into when some dude can't stop flirting and won't get the hint.

Anywho...so today, I received a link to this blog post entitled Life Imitating Second Life? Can you imagine my surprise when I saw that this very same shirt had made the leap from Second Life into...the real world!? How awesome is that? Yay Pee! I have to say I am a little jealous noone has thought about bringing some of my SL stuff into RL. I mean, how cool would toesocks be in RL?? Ah wait... nevermind...

Six new colours for the Let's Dance dress!

I have added six more colours to *Let's Dance* so you now have 9 colours to choose from! yay!

Those were all requested colours. Three are nice Spring colours, Lavendar, Pink and Teal and three more dramatic colours with Plum, Burgundy and Bright Red. I am open to more colour requests if you still can't find one you like!

Let's Dance includes:
-2 flexi skirts (one with white tulle underneath and one without)
-2 camis (one long jacket layer and one short shirt layer. Both of which can be worn with the glitch pants, so you can always add a little jacket to the dress if you wish)
- glitch pants.
- some optional flower attachments for extra prettiness (almost typed pettiness here! Oops! haha)

They are available in the main Total Betty store on Son and some of the other locations (Fashion Mode, New Designer Forum right next to Blaze and Dixie Estates).

I am working on the bathing suits. 18 colour combinations! Oy! What was I thinking... Half of those were requests, the others I just thought would look nice. The textures are done, I just need to finish uploading them, and then do the whole picture/ads thing. Bleh! Can I just throw them in a plywood cube you think? hehe

Anywho! That is all folks!

Have a nice rest of the week!

Feelin' beachy

Noooo, not bitchy...beachy!

Tonight was the beach party fundraiser for Relay over at Dixie Land Estates. Mystic did another fantastic job at transforming the place to fit the theme and a lot of people showed up to dance to the groovy beach music and donate some lindens! Yay!

Since this was a beach party, I thought it would be a good excuse to work on some bathing suits. I already have some requests for specific colours, so, if you prefer something that isn't red, blue, pink, purple, or orange, let me know and I will add it to the list. I was so much fun to design (probably because I'm sick of snow!). I even have a version to wear if you are preggers! I won't box it up, but it will be available upon request. SeaWay looked a little hot in her dress, so I just had to make her a preggie friendly version. And omg! she looked totally adorable. I just might adapt it to wear "sans belly" and make a little sun dress or somethin'. Bah! here I go again, getting carried away with more pieces. I should not wonder why it takes me forever and a day to make new things... It might come with flip flops too, but I need to work on that. A shoemaker I am not! But they worked ok for the party...

Here's a sneak peak of the set, in orange and yellow. Sorry for the brightness, I was playing with my new Photosphere and got carried away with the background.

Orange overload.

Oh! I will also be releasing more colours for the "Let's Dance" dresses. So far, I have pink, lavendar, deep plum and red (bright and burgundy) on the list of colours to add, but feel free to let me know if there are any specific colours you would like to see.

In fact, I will be adding more colours to Boppin' and Workin' too. I already worked on a grey version and I am thinking of adding a darker set of colours since pastels don't seem to be everyone's cup o' tea. Who knew?

I just need to take pics and make zee posters for everything.

By the way, if you are free this Thursday, Dixie Rebels are hosting a formal masquerade ball for Relay. So get your masks ready and come dance with the Rebels if you get the chance!

Have a nice week everyone! Or month! (seeing how good I have been at posting since the holidays...maybe I should just be safe and say "see you in 2008! lol)

What a week it has been...

A Very Happy Betty

This ^ (see picture above) is how I looked on my friend Marjorie's monitor last night. I spent the evening grinning like an idiot. Usually, I'd just call it a bug. But this time, little Betty definitely had a reason to smile. Who wouldn't be this happy with all the cool stuff that has been happening recently?!

First, getting the chance to be involved with the Relay for Life Dixie Rebels crew has been a blast. The *Poodles* outfits seem to be selling well. I am so happy everytime I see that one of them has sold or that a donation has been made. I definitely want to make more things, so if you have requests, let me know! I need ideas and always love getting suggestions from people.

Second, I got blogged y'all! Not once, but twice! That was wayyyyyy cool! I want to say a big thank you to Tigerlily Koi from the Aspire blog and Grazia Horwitz from the Second Style Fashionista blog for their kind words. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Those reviews totally made my day (well, days really, since one was last week) However, the day wasn't done yet!

I logged in yesterday to find an IM waiting for me. It was from Blaze Columbia about the New Designer Forum. *faint* I had to wait a bit to reply because I was afraid of sounding like a real dork (waiting probably did not help much.) The convo pretty much went like this on my part : "thanks!" "thank you!" "thanks again!" "ty ty" and so on.

After a short convo, I got to met up with Blaze to pick my wall. It's a big wall. A very very big wall. A huuuuge wall. All I kept thinking was...there is NO WAY I can fill this!

Woah...that's a biiiiiiiig wall

Blaze left (probably tired of hearing thanks so many friggin times lol) and I went back to set up a little later on. I started with the new dresses. Haha! The posters were so so tiny! I have gotten so used playing Tetris with my posters in tiny shops that I must admit, I was a little overwhelmed by this wall. I ended up taking everything I had ever made out of my inventory, moving stuff around a few billion times (scaling some things to make them bigger so it wouldn't look so bare) and finally came up with a layout that I was satisfied with.

And so, there it was. All my work so far. All on one big, huge, giant wall. Not much by some standards, but more than I thought I would ever have when I first started. I definitely never thought I would end up here, in this place, or get written about, or get the chance to get involved in the SLRFL.

What amazing people I have met and what a fun ride this has been so far. It's a little surreal. And way, way cool. Thanks to everyone, for the kind words, the amazing opportunities, and most of all, thanks to my Son crew, who inspire me and make me laugh every single day.

More new stuff *Poodles* for SLRFL

Poodles was created as a request by SeaWay and Mystic Brodsky for a 50's themed "Sock Hop" fundraiser for the SL Relay for Life held by the Dixie Rebels Team on February 25th 2007.

The fundraiser, as well as the outfits, were a great success. Yay!

Seeing how hard the Dixie Rebels (as well as all the other teams out there) are working at making SLRFL a success, I wanted to try and do my part to help them reach their goals. So, the idea to sell the outfits as a way to raise money came about.

Donate 300L$ (or more) to get your very own *Poodles* outfit. Just pay the appropriate SLRFL vendor in the colour of your choice (pink or purple). 100% of the proceeds go to Relay for Life.

The outfit includes:

-2 flexi skirts (one with poodle detail / one without for those who are allergic to dogs)
-2 short sleeved tops (one with the skirt belt/one without so you can wear it with other things)
-1 flexi neck scarf matching the skirt
- socks and prim ankle socks with poodle detail
-an optional belt on the mesh skirt layer so you can wear the skirt on it's own with another top.

Everything is MOD and TRANSFER. Perfect for giving as a gift! Or even sharing half the outfit with a friend. What the heck. Go nuts! Everyone gets a piece! (I'd hate to be the one stuck with the belt though...booooring!)

Both Poodle outfits are available at Total Betty Boutique's main location on Son and at Total Betty's in Fashion Mode.

New stuff! *Let's Dance*

Oy! Finally something new!

After much cursing and wearing crazy prims for the past three weeks, I finally got this flexi outfit to behave the way I wanted. yay!

Introducing "Let's Dance", a fun flexi "dance all night" knee-lenth dress which includes:

-2 flexi skirts (one with white tule under the skirt and one "sans" tule)
-2 camis (a long one and a short one)
-optional prim flowers detail

It is available in three colours: Menthe, Chocolat and Deep Skies.


Everything is COPY/MOD/NO TRANSFER.

Available at the Main store on Son and in select Total Betty locations.
