Retrology celebrates its 1st anniversary

Available for free until August 3rd. Yay!

Retrology is turning one on Sunday, August 3rd! To celebrate, participating vendors will have freebies available in their Retrology stores all week long. That's right! Free stuff!

Here is my little contribution! It's brand new, not in stores yet. So it's like...a pre-release... like... for free.

*Petits Pois* party dress in red includes:

1-top
1- pair of glitch pants
2- flexi skirts with black tulle (one with the skirt sitter script and one without)
1- scupltie bow for the waist

Copy/Mod/No Trans. Multiple layer options.

Grab it quick before Sunday. It will be available at regular price after that.

I plan on releasing other colours soon (ie. next time I find some time to package stuff) as well as some other stuff I have laying around my inventory (like the Dentelle and Stardust dresses in "non Relay" colours). My "new releases" wall is looking pretty bare now that all the Relay vendors have poofed.

Slurl to Total Betty's Retrology location

The return of the Poodle

Finally! Here they are. After selling them from the trunk of my car for the past few months, I finally got motivated enough to package them and put them in the store! (thanks to Jhuzen Ketsugo from Retrology who keep organizing sim events that force me to finish stuff!)

The occasion this time is a sim wide sidewalk sale for Canada Day/ US Independance Day. Lots of deals on the Retrology sim!

Poodles is back, revamped, refreshed, and now in more vibrant colours.

Just like last year's version, it comes with a fun, flexi Poodle skirt complete with white tulle under the skirt, a short sleeved polo with matching poodle detail, glitch shorts for sock hopping "sans flashing" , matching neck scarf and white ankle socks.

COPY/MOD/NO TRANS






Available at Total Betty's main store in Plush Rho and at the Retrology location.

More hunting! Retrology and Fashion Mode Egg Hunts

Yep! Another hunt with more goodies. Retrology vendors have scattered their eggs all over the Retrology sim for you to find! Hidden all over, some easy to find, some not so much. I have a couple of them hidden away...but I am not saying where! :) Click the eggs to get the contents (some are set for 0L$ or 1L$) Clicky here for the slurl!

*******

Also! Fashion Mode on the San Leandros sim is having two Easter Egg Hunts for Easter Sunday. You gotta be quick with that one though! Once the eggs are found, it's over baby! I gave two "free outfit" vouchers as prizes. Weeee! Sorry no slurl... I'm too sleepy to log back in. Just search for Fashion Mode (San Leandros sim) or look on my profile picks.

*******

Good luck, have fun...and Happy Easter!

Gris Wide Easter Hunt (one of em!) starts today

The Easter Bunny is going to be very busy this weekend! Lots of grid wide Easter hunts taking place this weekend/tomorrow and that is not counting all the Easter hunts that are planned in several stores/malls/sims. Oy! I hope you have big baskets to carry all the stuff! I actually had to pass on a few hunt invites because I didn't have enough time to make things for them, and who the heck wants to hunt the same items over and over again all over the grid? Now that would be fun...not!

One of the hunts I am participating in started today. I hid three eggs inside the store. Just buy them for 1L$ to get the contents. Clicky here for the slurl to the starting point. Good luck and have fun! Oh! and drop a few L$ in the Relay for Life kiosk while you are there. 1L$, 50L$, 100000000L$, it's all good! lol


More hunting goodness coming up tomorrow!

SLRFL 2008.

Yay! Relay is here again and this year is getting off to a really great start! Donations are already pouring in and I am very confident that the teams will beat new records again this year. The number of teams has almost doubled for this year. That means 80, yes 80 teams will participate in the 2008 SLRFL. Woo! Go Relay!

Last year was my first time participating in Relay and it was a blast (Dixie Rebels hooo!!!). Sadly, the 2007 team won't be participating this year but that doesn't mean the ex rebels have stopped caring about the cause. No way jose! If anything, we are all busier than ever! Some started new teams, some joined the organizing comity (uh uh!), and some, like me, have joined new teams. I'd like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all the Rebels for welcoming me and allowing me to take part in Relay last year. It meant a lot to me and it was an honor to be part of your team.

This year, I am part of the Designers in Seclusion (DiS for short) RFL Team. Expect a lot of Relay editions to hit the grid. Hair, shoes, clothes, skins, shapes, accessories and many many other cool things. Yay! The girls (and hmm I think there's a boy in there somewhere haha) have already started releasing items. Drop by the RFL Clothing Fair and check out all the vendors! 100% of the proceeds from the official RFL vendors go to benefit the American Cancer Association.

The Clothing Fair is hosted on the Rezzable sims by the Relay Raiders. Four sims of shopping fun! Rezzable Design (Summer), Rezzable Discover (Winter), Rezzable Create (Fall), Rezzable Explore (Spring)

Look out for posts about my first RFL releases very soon!

Valentine's Day Auction

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Wishing everyone a great day with your loved ones, whether it be with that special someone, that "just friends" someone, or that "love to hate" someone haha.

The Cafe Society is having another auction for Valentine's. (those dames are like the fund raising queens of SL!) This time, all the money donated will go to the Heart Association. Lots of items up for auction. It's a silent auction, you just have to go and place your bid on the items you want. Easy peasy! Some one of a kind items, some limited editions and other cool things.


Here is my contribution.

Click on picture to see larger size

*Mon Coeur* is a lovely gown (if I may say so myself) in burgundy with black lace detail. This color will only be available at the auction and will not be sold in stores. It also comes with extras as such as different skirt options and a skin.

Included with this special set:

-One cami trimmed with lace, lace detail on the waist and more lace trim just above the hips.

-Glitch pants. Nothing much to say here.

-Two different skirt versions. One is a slimmer fit which sits lower on the hips and is narrower. The second version has more volume and sits higher on the hips. I like both, I couldn't decide, so I decided to include both for the auction. You also get a lace trimmed option or a full prim option for both skirts. So you get four skirts total. Yay!

- A skin with matching makeup. Smokey eyes, luscious burgundy lipstick, a hint of glitter on the cheeks and temples, and burgundy nail polish on your hands and feet.

Auction ends Valentines day at 8pm SLT on the 14th.
There will also be a Valentine's Day Dance and Bachelor Auction 7pm SLT.

Bid on the dress, bid on something else, make a small donation or just come dance. It's for a good cause!

See you there! Click here for the slurl! (Masterpiece Island 221, 187, 43)

Grid Wide Treasure Hunt

Here is my contribution to the grid-wide treasure hunt for VDay. Yay!

What started out as bra and panties turned into a full lingerie set with lots and lots of layer options.

My gift is #39 and it is hidden somewhere inside Total Betty Boutique on Son.


Over 40 designers are participating! Hurry! It ends February 11th at 11pm SLT. You don't want to miss it!


Here is the starting point for the hunt Calla Gardens, Sweet Sorrow (219,37,369)

Another Fundraiser event. Skins!

Here are the four skins I submitted for Another Fundraiser. Weeee! People from all over Second Life have been busy modding Eloh Eliot's skins for the fundraiser.

Over 150 skins for only 50L$ each! All the proceeds from the sale of the skins will go to UNICEF.

The event ends February 3rd so hurry! Make yourself pretty and support a great cause at the same time!

More info here: http://anotherfundraiser.blogspot.com

Buy the skins here: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Masterpiece%20Island/172/210/73

Edit: The shape used on the posters is just my own little old shape. It is not for sale, and while I feel bad saying no to people who asked me if they could get it, I just can't bring myself to share it. Can't really explain it. It's like...part of me and I am not ready to run into Betty twins just yet. Thank you for the kind words though :)

The leaf bikini on the posters is from the Chiquita costume.

Make a Wish Foundation Auction

Stardust Dress for the Make a Wish Foundation auction

The Cafe Society is having an auction to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation tonight at 8pm SLT. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Masterpiece%20Island/218/189/53 There will be items from Sparkle Skye, Caliah Lyon, Queue Marlow, yours truly as well as many other designers!

I wanted to make something special for the occasion. I have known two people who have benefited from the services offered by the Make a Wish Foundation and I cannot even begin to explain how much their work means to the people whose wishes they grant. They truly do bring joy into the lives of people who are going through very difficult times and help build precious memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

So, get your butt over there and come ring in the New Year with great people, great music and come support a great cause. There will be items from Sparkle Skye, Caliah Lyon, Queue Marlow, yours truly as well as many other designers!

Edit 02/02: The dress was a one of a kind so it is not in stores. Sorry! :) I am working on a bunch of new dresses at the moment. Stay posted!

Betty's Halloween Adventures

Relaxing between ghost catches

So, last night was Halloween. I had no party to go to, and I was in the mood for some ghost hunting! So I put on my costume and I was ready for action! Move over Ghostbusters, here I come!

The evening didn't exactly start off too well... My first stop left me stripped and humiliated when my costume litterally got shoved up my ass after TPing...

Is that a costume up your butt or are you happy to see me?

A quick and swift TP back home (which had no walls??) to detach everything and put them back where they belonged and I was ready to go again. Yay!

My first (and last...) stop was Ohana Isle Market place. What a lovely sim! I had way too much fun exploring/shopping that I almost forgot about the ghosts I had come to hunt. They also have their own Halloween hunt going on with little candy corns hidden all over. I found a LOT of those!

Here are some pics of last night's adventure. It was nice to be out of my skybox for once!

chillin' in a little disco disney tent

Diabetes! Here I come!

Nothing like a little blood bath with a hairdryer in your hand to make you feel alive!

Note to self: Don't dumpster dive when wearing cardboard...

Sadly, my evening came to an abrupt end when the garbage truck showed up and picked me up while I was dumpster diving for freebs. All was not lost however. I did find a lot of goodies, a couple of ghosts and even rented a shop while I was there! Yay! It was just too cute a place to pass up!

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween and don't forget, the Ghost Hunt is running until Sunday! So go catch some ghosts and stop by the store for some apple bobbing for even more free stuff!

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!

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!

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!

Oops! Forgot to mention that I will take part in Imagen Divine Agency's fashion show on October 5th from 5-8pm, on Live Elements (217/237/461)

I am very excited about the project. Stressed but excited! It is such an honor to be amongst such talented and established designers.

I have been working hard on the designs. They say pressure builds diamonds. Let's hope it's true! (although I'd be happy to end up with some convincing looking cubic zirconias). hehe It's nice to get the creative streak going again.

Don't forget to vote on my little poll. It needs some luvin'. Tell me what type of designs you'd like to see more of!

That is all.

Happy Vday! New things and freebs!

Hope everyone has a Happy Valentine's Day. GF/BF, significant other or not. It's a good time to wear pink and wear kitsch heart accessories. Rejoice!

I was trying to come up with some fabu stuff for Valentine's but all I ended up with were toe socks. Don't ask. I was making some leg warmers for a friend and got carried away...

Some goodies and a tiny release for Valentine's Day. Almost didn't make it at all since SL was being bad again and I couldn't do ANYTHING for the past three days. Bad bad!

Anyway, let's start with the new stuff. Toe socks! Presenting "Stayin In", a comfy "stay at home and do nothin" outfit. It includes:

• 1 Comfy flannel PJ Pants. Rolled up at the knees --with prim attachment at the knees and little strings on the waist band. (underpants and pants layers)

• 1 bummy but oh so comfy paint-stained shirt (in all 3 top layers)

• Stripey socks in bright "rainbow" colours with prim toes.

• And, the piece de resistance for this Valentine's Day, a free flaming trash can to burn to a crisp all the negative memories of loves past. Yay!

Super Vday special. 50L$. Only February 14th and 15th. Copy/Mod/No Trans (EDIT Hmm, 50L$ seems like a good price for those so, the price is staying the same forevah)



Valentine's Day (and the day after...) freebies/almost freebies.

"Strawberry Dots" trio which includes a bra, one pair of panties and a matching tank top. Tops come in all three layers, panties in two layers. 1L$ until the 15th (EDIT, I suck at sales...I can rarely bring myself to raise back the prices...so...these will remain at 1L$ forevah too! Yay!) at Total Betty's Main store in Son and in the newest location, Fashion Mode


Come grab your free flaming trash can! No purchase necessary. It's free, free, free. It's trans too, so grab one for a friend and get the fire burnin'.


Stop by Fashion Mode tonight, February 14th. Lots of freebies from FM vendors and a special event. The lovely Lovey will be releasing her skins and there will be raffles, so, you could go home with a new skin tonight. Yay! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Amour/154/232/32/

Have a nice week everyone!
