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!

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.

Yay!

Woohoo! I have been enjoying my stay at Le Cadre and it looks like I get to stay a little bit longer. Yay! Thank you to Sensual Casanova :D

Le Cadre

Check out the new designers moving in soon!

edit: Le Cadre is now called Sensual Productions y'all. New name, same great stuff!

Happy New Year!

This would be a good time to reflect on the events that marked 2007 and on all the wonderful people I have had the chance to meet during the past year. But this would be an even greater time to get myself a nice cold glass of water and crash on my couch for a bit...

Just wanted to drop by and wish everyone a wonderful new year. May 2008 bring you much love, health and happiness.

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!

Merry Christmas!

A very quick post to wish you all a very Merry Christmas

Oh! and for all of you toesock lovers, I made some toe socks for Festivus lol (they come with a festivus pole and a "Festini" martini but everything else can be worn all year around!) The toes are little froggie looking things :)


You can find them at the main Total Betty store in Son

All the new stuff now listed on Onrez!

Betty celebrates the listing of stuffs by wearing a bunch of things at once
and doing the Onrez listing dance.

Woohoo! Finished listing all the newest releases on Onrez. All up to date now, everything is there, even the 1L$ dresses. So now, you can send gifts. Yay!

Check it out. Yanno you wanna!

New! *Merry* Holiday stuff! (two versions)

Hair: Acacia by Calla

Of course, I could not release something just before the holidays without some traditional holiday outfits!

First up, we have *Merry*, a retro inspired skating ensemble complete with skates!

*Merry* includes:
- A fur-trimmed strapless top
- A fur-trimmed matching bolero
- Glitch pants (also trimmed with fur at the bottom). The glitch pants come in both belt and no belt versions.
- An extra pair of pants without the "extra material" above the belt, so you can wear the skirt by itself and mix it with another top.
-Flexi prim skirt (also with a skirt sitter version)
-A little fur-trimmed hat decorated with a delicate holly brooch (not a santa hat)
-Small black gloves.
-System boots with skate attachments.

Multiple layers options. Copy/Mod/No transfer.

Hair: Mignonnette by Calla

Next, we have *Merry Mini* which is a trimmed down version of the outfit.

It includes:
-The strapless top
-Skirt base (in four version -with and without belt, with and without trim so you can wear the base without the skirt) I recommend wearing the skirt with the no trim version since they are not short but more like panties and the trim would just show when you walk with the skirt.
-An extra skirt base without the "extra material" above the belt, so you can wear the skirt with something else or just wear the panties by themselves.
- A flexi prim skirt

Multiple layer options. Copy/Mod/No transfer.

Both are available in five colours. All the new releases are now in stores at the Total Betty Boutique in Son, as well Le Cadre location for now. I will add them to Onrez and additional locations shortly! (it's taking a bit longer to place stuff in stores these days).

New! More After Hour Divas!

Hair: Sweet Violet by Calla.
Shoes: Miabella with color changing ribbons by ZHAO Shoes.

*After Hour Diva* is a remake of a popular little dress I made last year. Following some requests for more colours, I thought I would revamp it a bit and release it for the holidays. I added some glitch pants (I had no clue you needed those for system skirts back then!) and an extra layer of tulle for the prim skirt.

It includes:

A V-Neck sleeveless top.
Glitch pants.
System skirt
2 layers of prim tulle (one flexi and one non flex)

Multiple layers options. Copy/Mod/No tranfer.

Available in 6 colours, three of which are only 1L$! So come grab them before the holidays are over! At the main Total Betty location in Son!

As always, comments and suggestions are always welcomed. :)

New! Office Gypsy Dress

Hair: Gypsy by BettiePage Voyager Boots: Desert Boots by Pixeldolls.

Next up, we have the Office Gypsy! For days when you feel a bit bohemian. This dress offers comfort without the frump and lets you look presentable without making you feel stuffy. Perfect for casual Fridays!

This set includes:
-A short sleeved top with nice cleavage (one that say, yes I have boobs and no, you can't see them). I also threw in a slightly longer top you can wear by itself.
-Long glitch pants
-System Skirt
-Flexi skirt pannels (that's the gypsy part).

Multiple layer options. Copy.Mod, No transfer.

Available in three colours or in a pack at Total Betty Boutique in Son and at the Le Cadre location.

New! Dainty Dresses

Hair: Day Lily by Calla. Shoes: The Sleek by 7 Deadly Prims.

Introducing *Dainty*. A soft, pretty design with delicate lace detail and soft silky textures.

Oh noes! I has been tagged!

Unsuspecting Betty, chillin' on her roof

*grumble*

I was happily hiding on my roof, completely satisfied with reading all these random facts about strangers and quietly relieved that no one had tagged me when BLAM! Tigerlily (sweet thing) remembered I existed. *glares*

So, since I am a good sport, here it is. Eight random things about little ole' me. Clears the dust off the blog...haven't been here in a while!

Rules:
(1) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
(2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
(3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.(4) Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

1. People tend to laugh when I get annoyed. Which makes them want to annoy me just so they can laugh. I just don't do angry very well.

2. This "anger deficiency" problem causes me to invent very imaginative swear words. Which makes people laugh more (ok, it makes me laugh too)

3. I cry at the stupidest things like movies nobody else finds sad (that's another thing people think is somehow hilarious) but I am very logical and level headed for the serious stuff.

4. I studied four languages in college and university. I don't know how to speak any of them (except English obviously). The rest turned into a sad version of Esperanto. Lesson learned? Don't study more than one language at once.

5. I used to help my boyfriend write video game reviews. I would play the games and tell him what I thought. Most of the games were crappy but getting free games was cool.

6. I once bought my boyfriend a Gamecube with Zelda for his birthday. He never got to play the game. It was a very good game *smirk*

7. I consider myself more of a dog person, but I have only had cats for the past 6 years. We only have one now. One went all "Littlest Hobo" on me one day, and the other one got squished when it ran after another cat.

8. Forums scare me. I rarely post, but I like to lurk. I have a fear of getting flamed over a silly misunderstanding. lol I tend to be shy when I don't know people (duh!) and I don't like conflict.

9. Bonus answer. I don't like chain letters!

Errr, I have no one to tag! Let's see. Who do I know that has a blog AND has not been tagged yet? Most of my SL friends are blogless! *digs through her list. Ding!* I tag Tami McCoy, Kala Wildcat , Marjorie Market and Miabella Foxley . That's four. I tag them twice. That makes eight! I'm done!

This image was totally stoled.

My skirt is possessed!

Errr... hello? Skirt? I'm over here!!!

I admit, scripts and I are not the best of friends. I have taken scripting classes, I have read a lot about it.. but it is a desperate cause. I, Betty Barracuda, am not made for scripting.

This being said, scripts, while being very frustrating at times, have also brought me much laughter. Tonight was a great example. I figured I would try to include some scripted prim skirts with the next release. It would be nice to be able to sit without looking half naked yes? I thought, how hard can it be? Put the scripted skirt on, set in the walking/sitting positions etc and I'm done. Easy peasy.

Not quite!

I do not know what I did but my skirt is now possessed. It litterally flies around like a car wash brush gone mad as soon as I start walking. Sitting is not much better, as it then just hovers there, way up in the air, snickering at me as I sit in my glitch pants...

Fun times! I am not too sure about my marketing ideas for this "feature" so I think I am going to have to work some more on that scripting thing.

Make a grand entrance by having your skirt precede you!

Great for washing those hard to reach windows!

Update: Ack! It is now worse... it doesn't even go back to normal after I stop walking. I broke it! :(

Oh! By the way! Last chance to get the free things from the ghost hunt and apple bobbing. They will be taken away at midnight SLT. So come get your free cardigan or plaid skirt or...who knows what's in there! :)

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!

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!
