Total Betty Boutique has moved!


We moved! The new shop is now open for business. Official "opening" will be a little later on. I need time to finish the new releases that were put on hold while I was building.

While I was sad when I heard that my former landlord was selling his sim, in the end, it all turned out for the best. I found a gorgeous, clean, sunny place on Plush Rho. It is four times the floor space of my old shop, surrounding neighbors have nice shops, 24/7 service is lightning fast and rent is wayyy cheaper. Jackpot!

Since I had a bit of time before getting the boot, I decided to try my hand at building. Oy! I must be the world slowest builder but.... I DID IT! Yay! Sure, it's not the best technical build, I don't know all the tricks to optimize prim use, and aligning prims is a biatch... but I think it came out pretty well!

The new shop is spacious and airy. It has a lot of room to grow. No more playing vendor-Tetris for a while. Yay! Everything now has its own little corner. Sleepwear, fun silly outfits and items on sale are on one side of the shop. New releases, dresses and casuals are on the other side. The lobby in the middle has some bean bags to chill on if you need to rest your feet, or if your boyfriend doesn't feel like following you around while you shop.

I will be adding live models very soon. I am also working on adding a subscription system for goodies and store notices. Oh! And I added a shiny new mailbox at the entrance so you can now leave me comments, suggestions or even hate mail *sad* via note card right there on the spot. Weee!

Update your landmarks and drop by for a look see. Comments and suggestions are welcomed. Make my day and say it looks oh so awesome. Shatter my confidence and tell me the new place sucks beans. Whatever. I like hearing from you guys!

Slurly thingie for the new shop

Alive and kicking

Kicking my phone service provider that is!

I have been missing due to some exciting things like broken phone lines and ISPs taking forever to hook us up at the new house. Fun times I tell ya!

Just got back on the internets after over 2 weeks. Woot! It was very zen though, not having to worry about emails etc. Just wish I could've warned people before hand but eh, what can ya do?

I did start to worry when my rents were due for my stores. Oy! I was getting scared everyone would give me the boot but I finally made it back before everyone kicked me out. *whew!*

I have been fiddling with some designs but I will not release anything until the Fall. I am still too busy to really concentrate on releasing things and I want to have a nice little collection ready instead of the random shirt/skirt here and there.

That's it for now. Just wanted to give a quick update on my whereabouts. If you tried to reach me while I was away, and I have not gotten back to you yet, contact me again because the message probably got lost.

Ciao babes!

I'm not dead, just moving!


Greetings!

I have been busy busy since Summer started. Busy enjoying the nice weather, busy working, busy running the business, busy living in between two houses as I am in the process of moving!

So...this sadly does not leave much time for releasing things! Hopefully, once the move is complete, I will be able to settle and get creative again. I am working on some stuff when I have time, but it will probably end up as a big release after the Summer. Making things isn't so much the problem... it's everything that comes after something is designed : logging in to test it, taking pictures, making the posters, packaging it! Oy! If I could just shove everything in a plywood cube and mark it for sale, it would be much easier. hehe. Although, I doubt I would get many customers with this practice.

If you have any problems, questions etc, feel free to drop me a note. I check in regularly to answer IMs and fill in the Alphabet custom lettered sweater orders, so I will get back to you. I just don't hang out much in world at the moment. Not that I would have many people to hang with. Most of the crew seems to be playing outside as well these days!

Relay is coming up soon! July 28th. So get your walkin' shoes ready! And donate!

I hope everyone is enjoying their Summer. I shall be back one day with lots of goodies and new things for your shopping pleasure.

Ta!

Model for a day

Victor Brody's Leather Leopard Jacket

Had fun last night modeling for my sim-mate Vic! He came up to me the other day with his latest creation, a sweet leather leopard jacket and asked if I wouldn't mind posing for some pics. Hell yeah! Totally vintage. Check out the glasses too! Another one of Vic's awesome creations. Felt like a total rock star with this outfit.

The shoot was fun. Not that it requires a lot of sweat and tears to stand there and let someone else take the pictures. I could get used to this!

You can check out Vic's gear in his shop in the Son Village Shopping Mall.

Here's the slurl y'all!

I promise new stuff really soon. Holidays have been filled with too much social and not enough workin'! People are just too darn friendly in my new neighborhood. I really lucked out with my new sim-mates. We all moved in pretty much at the same time in Son Village/Mall so we are all busy getting to know each other and snooping on everyone's builds (and designing things for our stores.)

Hope everyone has a great New Year's Eve!
