Good news! A few extra days to get the RFL items!

We can keep our vendors out a bit longer until everything gets deleted on Wednesday. Yay! Let's see if we can't raise a bit more money!

Don't forget, all these Relay for Life items will not be available for purchase after July 22nd.

Also take this opportunity to visit the 30+ Heroes sims and check out the amazing builds all the team created for this year's Relay.

Here is a slurl to my store. You can check out my RFL items there. Make sure you also grab a landmark for the Designers in Seclusion Relay site on the Heroes 9 sim. You will find a ton of exclusive Relay designs by many many talented designers (located inside the while, circular tent). Then, put on your new purchases and go for a stroll around the Relay sims! Yay!

Thank you to everyone who participated and supported Relay this year. This year's teams have raised over 52 million L$ so far and we have a couple of extra days left! *claps*

Thank you to my Designers in Seclusion team mates. You all did an amazing job. *more clapping*

Enough rambling. I need some serious sleep! Get shopping!

Relay for Life: Halfway Fair! June 1st!

Quick snapshot of the Designers in Seclusion Fair Grounds

The Relay for Life in SL fundraising campaign has already reached its halfway point! And you know what that means... the Halfway Fair is BACKkkk! Yeahhhhh! It starts at 6am SLT on Sunday June 1st and goes on until evening.

SIX sims, a billion teams (rounded off to the nearest billion for convenience), a ton of activities, exclusive RFL items for sale (all to raise funds for the American Cancer Society), lots of dancing, singing, kissing... ohhhhh my! It is a day you do not want to miss!

Drop by the Designers in Seclusion High School on the HalfwayThere 3 sim. Various basic designing classes will be offered throughout the day. If classes make you ill, don't fret! We also have plenty of exclusive relay items for sale on the school grounds, from gorgeous hairstyles to sexy jewelery and hot fashions! 100% of the proceeds from the sales go to Relay for Life. Yay! So, drop buy, learn something new, buy something pretty or just come hang out on the school grounds! I'll be the one sneaking a cig in the bushes. *shhhhhhhhh*

Clicky here for the slurl >> Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

******Detention sucks...

Speaking of school... Maybe pretending to be back in HS is not your cup o' tea but what if we skipped the school part and went straight to the prom? Relive the best moments of HS at the Designers in Seclusion prom on June 14th-15th. It's the perfect chance to do it all again and make things right.

-Didn't like your date at your HS prom? Forget about that loser and make new memories with your charming and sexy SL date!

-Your mom would only buy you that horrible polyester puke green "gown" that was 50% off? Bleach those memories away and deck yourself with the hottest, latest fashions at a fraction of what a RL gown would've cost! You will be the queen of the ball darlin'!

-You were blessed with two left feet and no one would dance with you? Now is your time to shine! Move over Dancing with the Stars... we got dance balls and we know how to use them! 10/10 guaranteed, every time.

Buy your tickets at the Fair or at the Relay for Life store on Callatropia. Pick your day (Saturday or Sunday... or both! why not?! twice the fun!), buy yourself a sexy dress, get someone to agree to be your date and you are set! I'll even spike the orange punch if you promise not to tell!

100% of the tickets sales go to benefit Relay for Life. Hope to see you there!



****

Oh and yeah! I'm alive, just busy as hell! Don't ever get sick and then go on vacation...cause work just piles up while you're away and it takes forever to catch up! I have a lot of new stuffs, I just need to find the time for the %$!!&*$ packaging part. I do check my messages regularly and sneak into SL to take care of things, so if you tried contacting me and I haven't replied, try again because that means I didn't get/see the message. Thanks! I'll be at the fair for a large part of the day so do stop by and say hello!

Betty :)

New releases SLRFL Part 3 - Dresses!

Whew! Two more RFL releases (last ones for now! I need to finish boxing up the other dresses/lingerie for the store before I make something else!)


First up, we have Dentelle in purple. This shade will only be available during the RFL in SL fundraising campaign.

Dentelle includes:
A lovely cami adorned with a lace sash at the waist, and more lacy goodness along the neckline and the back. It comes in multiple layer options and also includes the cami by itself so you can wear it with other skirts/pants etc.

Glitch pants (also in multiple layer options)

Two flexi skirts. One skirt is "fully textured" with a straight hem. That means it has no alpha, which is nice if you happen to be dancing on a transparent floor and you don't want your skirt to magically disappear as soon as you step on the glass floor. The other skirt has a more intricate hem line with nice lace detail.

Also included are the "bottom parts" of the top on undies and pants layer, in case you want to layer other things on top without losing the length of the cami. Nudity alert! Just don't mistake the Bottom only! parts for the glitch pants...

COPY/MOD/NO TRANS. 250L$.

***************


Next up, we have Stardust in pink, a shimmery, glittery party dress full of sparkly fun. (no worries, it doesn't actually bling! it just looks sparkly!) This shade will only be available during the RFL in SL fundraising campaign.


Stardust includes:
A cami with silver glittery straps in several layer options. Also included is a longer version of the top so you can wear the cami with other skirs/pants etc. You also get the "longer bottom part" of the cami on the pants and undies layer, in case you want to tuck your top into your pants etc. Just don't mistake the Bottom Only! parts for the glitch pants or you will be giving everyone a free show. Woo!

Glitch pants, on pants and undies layers.

A flexi, flowy skirt with silver glittery detail at the bottom.

Everything is COPY/MOD, NO TRANS. 250L$.

***************

Get both dresses at the Clothing Fair on the Winter Sim, (Rezzable Discover 64,195,28) or at Total Betty Boutique on Plush Rho. 100% of the proceeds from these two dresses go to raise money for the American Cancer Society.


That's it, that's all folks! Hope you like the new releases! Other colours will be available in the store shortly.

As always, your comments and suggestions are always welcomed.

Toodles!

New releases SLRFL Part 2 - Skins!

When I decided to try my hand at modding Eloh's skins for Another Fundraiser, I never imagined the response would be so positive. I still get inquiries about the skins to this day, asking if there will be more skins in the future or if I can sell the Another Fundraiser ones. Well, your wishes have been granted! (sorta). I am releasing two new makeups based on the lf0 mod I made last January.

Both makeups are subtle, very much in the same line as the Clover skin which was the skin that seemed to get the biggest response.

They don't really have a name. haha. I finished them pretty late, so I was like...hmmm errrr... Skin... hehe


The first makeup is called Naturelle. It has very discreet eye makeup in shades of taupe and pink, with just a hint of colour on the lips and cheeks.


The second makeup is called Delicate Rose. The eye makeup is "slightly" more pronounced on this one with a burst of pink right on the eyelid, and subtle smoky mauve/pink eyeshadow above the eye crease. The lips have a nice deep rose tint to them and the cheeks have a little bit of blush for a healthy look.


Both skins will only be available during the RFL in SL. No worries though, that doesn't end until July so you will have plenty of time to buy them.

Only 100L$ each and 100% of the proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society.

Available during the Clothing Fair on the Winter Sim vendor area (Rezzable Discover 64,195,28), not too far from the stage. And of course, at Total Betty Boutique on Plush Rho.

Btw, if you have any suggestions for makeup, let me know. I would be happy to release more options during RFL. So don't be shy! It might even get your name if I release your makeup idea!

New releases SLRFL Part 1 -- Undies!

Behold! This year's first RFL release by Total Betty!

Lovely is a simple lingerie set that includes a bra and matching panties. This black and purple version will only be sold as part of the RFL fundraiser. 100% of proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society. Everything comes on multiple layers to accommodate tattoo layers etc. COPY/MOD. Donate 100L$ (or more!) to the Lovely RFL vendor to receive the item.

Available at the Clothing Fair on the Winter Sim (Rezzable Discover, 64,195,28) or at Total Betty Boutique on Plush Rho.

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!

SL Relay for Life outfit. It's Xmas! In July y'all!

Available in five, yes FIVE vibrant colours!

I took time off my busy RL (by giving up sleep for almost an entire night!) to make some outfits for Saturday's Christmas in July event. ---See other post below---

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!

Relay for Life Fair today!

Come join us today at the Relay for Life Fair. Many teams have set up for this day of fun and games and of course, fund raising!

There will be rides, games, live shows, contests, fireworks! and so much more. It starts at 1pm, slt and lasts all evening. While you are there, you can also purchase many Relay items from many different vendors. All the proceeds go to SLRFL so you can treat yourself to some cool gear and donate to a great cause at the same time.

I will be hanging out with the Dixie Rebels on the Relay Cure sim. The Rebels have set up a dunk tank where you can dunk real live Lindens (the avatars, not the money!) for a small fee. So, come spend your lindens to dunk a Linden! Guaranteed hours of fun.

Tami McCoy is also auctioning off a year's worth of new hair releases. Come bid before it's too late!

Drop by and say hello!

Rockin' out

Hola everyone!

I'm still around, just pretty busy with RL projects at the moment...so not much time to work on designs but ideas are piling up! I need a third life if I am to find time to do everything I want to do!

I have also been rockin' my little heart out playing Guitar Hero II. This game is way too addictive. I think I am even starting to like heavy metal. OY! That's my rockin' chica up there on the pic. She has mad skills! (when my fingers don't screw up the notes...)

Some Relay for Life info. The Dixie Rebels team will be hosting two fund raising events next week. The first one is a Woodstock theme on Thursday, May 3rd from 5pm-7pm SLT. The second one is a formal on Saturday, May 5th from 5-7pm STL. Who knows, maybe I will be inspired to do some 70's stuff (time permitting!). I will post a slurl later but in case I forget, the events will be held in Dixie Land Estates. Don't forget to mark your calendars!

I finally named the purple dress. It is called *Farfalla*, italian for butterfly. The four remaining dresses will be available in May. Some people have already claimed their copy so...not many left!

I hope everyone is having a nice week. Weekend soon! Hopefully, I will be able to make some new stuff this weekend (still have a few custom requests on the list, so...we'll see how things go)

Ciao all!

Sneak peek!

Skin by Lovey Darling (Honey -- Vanilla) Hair by Calla (Lotus)

Here is a sneak peek of a dress that was designed for Relay for Life. It is so new, I don't even have a name for it yet.

Only five of these will be released in this colour. The first one was auctionned yesterday during the Dixie Relayers Auction benefiting SLRFL. The other four will be released next month.

The auction was a great success. The Dixie Relayers worked their butts off to put this together and so many generous people showed up to support this great cause.

I would like to personally thank my friends Rudolph Ormsby from B-Loved, Oryx Tempel from International House of Style, Davidicus Liadis from Domovoy Designs and Ernesto Leonard from Club ArtHouse for generously donating their creations and services for the Relay auction. You guys rock!

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)

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.
