Halloween Ghost Hunt

Get your bag and start finding goodies!

The Grid Wide Halloween Hunt organized by Lucky Designs started earlier today and will last until Sunday November 4th. Yay!

I decided to jump in and join the fun, so I have a couple of ghosts hidden in the Total Betty Boutique main store on Son. I think they are pretty easy to find. My store isn't that big so hiding stuff is kinda hard. I also added an Apple Bob thingie so you can get some free stuff in there too!

Participating is pretty easy. Just make your way the the central hub to pick up your bag and then look at the big display board. It lists all the places taking part in the hunt. TP to one of them, find a ghost, click on it (while wearing the bag) and the prize goes straight into your goodie bag. Way cool!

Here is the slurl to get started http://slurl.com/secondlife/Jokung/177/14/36/

Happy Halloween everyone and happy hunting!

Still some costumes left to win! Weee!

Scared in Dixie!

Thanks to everyone who posted! Hope you like the costumes! Almost everyone should have gotten them already!

Because of some double posts and no name posts, there is still ONE robot costume to be won and ONE Chiquita costume. So don't pay attention to the number of comments and get posting to get a free costume! Yay! :)

On a side note, if you are in the mood for a little spooky adventure, go check out Mystic Brodsky's lake in Dixie Land Estates. The girl sure knows how to decorate for Halloween (or any holiday really!). This lake puts my little spider webs and jack-o-lanterns decorations to shame! lol Here's the slurl. Go see quick before Halloween's over and she packs it all up! DIXIE LAND ESTATES

New Costume! *Crafty Robot*

Made a couple of playful costumes for Halloween (or any other time, this is SL after all, we can dress up all the time!) They are available in either COPY or TRANS versions.

*****

First up is BEEP BOOP THE CRAFTY ROBOT, an old school, homemade cardboard robot adorned with aluminum foil, scotch tape and glitter stencils. A real beauty! Comes with dryer hose legs and arms, tissue box shoes and basic PJs to keep things PG under the box :D

This robot also comes equipped with a very menacing hair dryer that shoots rubber duckies at people. Hours of fun! (maybe I need to get out more? lol) and a freebie animation to make you spin into space (not litterally! just floating in circles...no orbiting involved!)


Hope you enjoy this costume as much as I did making it!

New costume! Chiquita!

Hair *Double Daisy* by Calla -- Skin by Lovey Darling

The second costume is called *Chiquita*

A fun, playful little costume loaded with fruit! Comes with banana leaf bikini and skirt, a lot of fruit (for your bewbs and waist), a fruit bowl hat, matching sandals and pineapple earrings.

You also get a tasty fruit punch that you can share with all your friends (the drink is copy/trans) and a little freebie dance for extra fun. Yay!

Available in either COPY or TRANSFER versions.

Halloween Freeb at Fashion Mode

Ashlin Leandros organized a little impromtue Halloween thingie for Wednesday night at Fashion Mode. Each store has a little display for gifts and/or discounted items!

I didn't have anything Halloweeny in my repertoire, so, I made something real quick. Now, since I usually don't like things with too much "holiday" stuff on it, I went with Halloween "colours" instead so the outfit doesn't become useless after the holiday has come and gone. However, I felt it was missing a little something and then I though... " OMG Pasties!" lol Yay!

*****
Introducing *Trick or Treat Me*

-1 nightie (top/bottom/prim skirt)
-matching panties AND pasties. Oulala!

Everything comes in all available layers. Copy/Mod. and all for a cool 1L$.
*****

At Fashion Mode, right now! Then at the Main Store and other locations until the 31st.

Enjoy!

New release! *College Bound* Mix and Match Fall Collection

I finally found some space for the new things! Yay! Not sure I am crazy about the layout of the store...but it will do for now. A redesign seems in order. And I seriously need to redesign my older posters. I cringe everytime I look at the hair/skin on them compared to the new ones. Not to mention the old layouts totally don't match! Yikes! Oh well.

"Ok, *snore!!!* Betty. We don't care about your store. On with the new stuff!" (sheesh, you guys are so rude...)

*****
Introducing *College Bound*, a versatile mix and match collection for the Fall. It has pants, jeans, capris, skirts, cardigans, shirts, combined shirts... lots of stuff!

Here is a small sample of the items available:

First, the little short coats! Wear them with or without the prims. Short or slightly longer. They are what started this little collection. Originally, I just wanted a coat but I ended up with a whole wardrobe and then some!


Next, we have the flexi "Patched Up" Skirts. The glitch pants have matching line designs so your leg doesn't scream "I'm here!!!!!!" when you walk and just quietly blends in with the prims instead.

And then zee tops. Lots of tops. The Western tops come in green, yellow and pink (very muted colours). The cardigans (orange, gold or green) by themselves, or combined over the shirts. They come in long and short versions/tucked/untucked etc.


There are also dark jeans (in black, dark blue or dark brown), pants (yeah, just pants) in green, rust and brown and capris (similar to the skirt but without all the lines) also in green, rust and brown.

*****

The collection is available in singles or packs so you can pick only what you want and mix and match your outfits without breaking the bank.

Everything comes in all layers available for even more flexibility. Yay!

*****
It's available at the Total Betty main store location on Son as well as my two new locations at Le Cadre (thanks to Sensual Casanova! yay! I knew sending in those naked pics would work! Kidding!) and Pompadour City (Yay Marjie!) right next to the sushi shop.

The collection is not on Onrez yet, but will be listed shortly. Everything is in the box, I just need to add the pictures, details etc. Oy!

That's it, that's all! (it's enough!)

Hope you like!

As always, feedback/comments/suggestions are always welcomed! :)

Err...space maybe?

I have been so busy packing and colouring, I forgot one small detail... I do not have space for the new stuff!

So, I took out my tools and decided it was time to expand my little store. I didn't want to move things upstairs, as I don't think people like going up and down floors to shop and I sorta like my little art gallery and changing room up there.

I am so running out of prims. Good thing I planned ahead and got myself an extra lot on the same sim or I would not be able to do anything! Looks like I might have to say goodbye to my little skybox eventually though. *sad sad* That or trim down my building even more. I already nuked my little office. Not that I ever used it but it looked cool! Oh well, I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Right now, it's working out ok.

Other than that, a big chunk of my time this weekend was spent looking all over Callatropia for their treasure hunt! yay! Today is the last day for the 50% sale on selected hairstyles in store (and to get the mega gift bag at the entrance of the Calla store) Woo! Hurry before it ends! (you can also bob for apples. Don't worry about getting your hair wet. Chances are, you'll win brand new hair to replace it!)

I'm off to dunk my head some more in the green goo... Wish me luck!

Ta!

SL hates my clothes

Me: Wanna see my "what was I thinking pack?" lol I need pricing advice.
Evil friend: lol. Looks great! You should add a few more options for the skirt.
Me: Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Evil friend: lol!

It's official. SL hates my stuff so much, it won't let me release it.

Here is a little recap of the past few days...

I finish a couple of details while waiting for SL to let me change clothes. Fun! I upload the new textures. Yay! I apply them to the clothes. Woot! I take pics for the posters. So far so good! I make the posters. Weee! I upload the posters. Awesome! I apply them to my boxes. Cool! Now, the next step would be... put the clothes IN the boxes. Woohoo! *record screaching*

*the region...bla bla...bla bla...5 minutes*

Ok. No problem. I have to pee anyway. I wash my hands, wait a few more minutes before TPing back to my cave. Ready! Time to pack everything! And then...

*the region...bla bla...bla...* Again and again. *kicks computah*

That was yesterday. Tonight's bug du jour is my mini map turning red and me not noticing, which means I am working along, all oblivious-like, for absolutely nothing cause I'm not connected to the server anymore. *big buggy eyes* Argh!

The upside (?). I gave up packing and made more color options, thanks to my evil friend who put the idea in my head that it would be nice to have more options for the skirt. So now, there are more colour options for the skirt, shirt, coat, and cardigan. lol

Please please, let me pack this stuff so I can move on and stop adding stuff! Pleeeaseee!

This nervous breakdown was brought to you by: Total Betty, bringing fine quality clothing to SL women since 2006 (when it let's me)

*TILT!* Slight delay -- having technical issues

Just a short post to let you know I am having some issues uploading textures and creating clothing this weekend. Boo!

I wanted to add a few more versions to the cardigan (short, long, tucked shirt, untucked etc etc). I'm done everything but... I can't seem to be able to wear them! Ack! If it is not textures refusing to upload, it is textures showing when they're not supposed to be there, or not showing when they're supposed to be there. For all I know, I am walking around naked at the moment even though I look fully clothed on my end. Eep! I better hide from the fashion police until this is all sorted out...

So yes, there will be a slight delay with the release until I can put everything together in SL. The good news is that it gave me time to add a few things -- made a no belt version for the jeans, added another colour for the jeans as well, added another pair of pants, and made way too many variations of the cardigan and sweater combo (tucked, untucked, short, long, alone, together etc etc).

It also gave me time to buy some modeling poses and hair. I never release that much at once usually so...I was running out of poses for the posters (not that I have a lot to start with hehe)

Hopefully, this will all be fixed by the time I log back in later tonight. But for now, I am off to eat some turkey! yay! Thanksgiving here this weekend!

Ciao!

Sneak peek for this weekend's release

The highlight of the night for me was after the show!

A hunk in my bathrobe! Woo!

As promised, here are some pictures of the new designs that were featured as part of the Divine Intervention event. It was a very fun night! So many different styles and yet, the models did a great job of making it all work together. Thanks again to all of you! A special thank you to Miabella Foxley of Imagen Divine Agency for making this night happen. I wish I had more pictures to show you but my photography skills didn't rez last night...

I am still fiddling with the posters and packaging everything. I would like to get it all done by tomorrow *crosses fingers*(oh and I noticed a seam! Noooo! Need to fix that before it gets packaged!) It has been a loooong week.

After those are done, I will work on some other colour variations. Maybe not for all the designs, but a few!

Ok, enough with the late night rambling. On with the outfits!

Six new outfits total. Some are mixy matchy, like the College Bound set, some are stand alone and one is a revamped version of an old classic.

*Dainty* / *After Hour Diva*

*Dainty* / *After Hour Diva*

*College Bound* (mix n match singles/sets)

*College Bound* (mix and match singles/sets)

*Office Chic* / *Wrapped Up*

*Office Chic* / *Wrapped Up*

Of course, I cannot go without throwing something fun in the mix! After many requests for the retired SLRFL *Poodles* outfit, it is making a comeback. In brand new colours and patterns. Send your requests my way if you have any specific colours you would like to see! Those will be out later this week if all goes well.

The Return of the Poodle! Coming soon!

Time to get some sleep! I will post an announcement once everything is in the store.

Thanks for looking and have a nice weekend.

Divine Intervention tonight!

Less than one hour to go until the big event! Here is a sneak peak of the exclusive freebie I included in the Divine Intervention gift bag. This is one of the outfits featured. This colour will only be available at the event and will not be sold in the store! So come grab a copy and check out all the latest fashions at the same time! (see previous post for the complete line up)

I will post pictures of the new releases after the show! Lots of new stuff for the Fall!

I will post pictures of the new releases right after the event. Lots of new stuff for the Fall! Everything should be in store sometime tomorrow. Working on the posters as we speak (Oy! I'm overdosing on photoshop this week!)

Please note that the event has been moved to another sim for better performance! The old link will have a LM giver but just in case, here's the new slurl! La Isla Pacifica (122, 105, 23)

Hope to see you there!
