New Store Location

Yes, I know - It's like I'm like a gypsy with all the moving. At least this time I'm on the same sim, yeah? A great spot opened up on MO Island and I grabbed it right quick. You can find the new store here - be sure to come visit!

EDIT 8/10/2007: I'm in the middle of moving and changing jobs, which has led to a real lack of updates, yes? I've a dozen half completed projects on my hard-drive - they'll go up as soon as I have the time. Cheers!

How about a proper update, for a change?

I've been neglecting the poor blog - no pretty pictures, no new releases, no more then a bare minimum of information. I apologize, and will do better in the future (steadfastly holding on to the belief that I will one day have readers who care about that sort of thing). So. I've got two new releases to talk about, and a couple of photos from the NC17 Grand Opening (sadly, I have none from the MO Island Fashion Show - I lagged and then crashed, missing both my line and, more tragic yet, Paper Couture's). Also, I've finally finished the mural for my main store. Huzzah!

The new releases first -



High Water was my 'MO Island' themed release for the Fashion Show - a spiffy tank/shorts combo. The print on the shirt is hand-drawn and inspired (although not copied, and yes, I'm bragging) by a door-hanging I picked up in Tokyo (it was late, the hanging was over my window...).



Restless was done for the Grand Opening at Club NC17 (pictures to follow) and is a bit different from my normal fare - I definitely made it with the club in mind^^ Includes both the drape-y top and the dark jeans.

Both releases are currently only at the NC17 store, because I'm lazy and haven't updated the main store (aside from the mural) since the flooding went down.

Now for the photos -



'Mural', you might have said, 'what mural?' The truth is that there's been a half-finished mural on the lower wall since I built the store, and I've finally finished it. For a look at the image used, click here - the piece was done in Painter 8 with a Graphire 4x5 tablet.



The NC17 opening was a blast - aside from the new release we had door prizes every ten minutes, and the club employees modeled Sassafras clothing (mixed in with other items from their inventory - my clothing is very versatile!). Pictured here is Adena, my landlord and the club owner, in the High Water top and Shiny Things shoes (we share a mutual obsession) - I'm afraid I have no idea where the skirt is from >.>



This is one of the fantastic dancers, (whose name I can't spell - I'll find out!) - she's wearing the Painted Jeans in Floral along with a short white top (it looked great!).

Finally, I've hired the lovely Makeda Cole to do some modeling shoots for the store - you can look forward to an infusion of brand new Sassafras ads on Linden Lifestyles and Second Style (once I shoot them. And edit them. And pay for them. But soon!).

Sassafras Grand Opening @ Club NC17

As a kickin' follow-up to last night's show, Sassafras' second branch will have it's Grand Opening tonight at Club NC17 - 6:15pm SLT to 7:15 SLT. The outfit I made for the MO Show will officially be released, and there'll be *another* new release made especially for the occasion.

MO Island Fashion Show

MO Island, Sassafras' home sim, is hosting a Fashion Show this Monday (the 2nd) - Head over to Shopping Cart Disco for more information. And yes, Sassafras will be participating - I've submitted four outfits, including a brand new one named 'High Water' made just for the show. Unfortunately, the event is not open to the public - we've got a huge guest list. I've still got an open invite, though - IM me if you want it.

Graphics Issues

I'm having graphics issues on my account - I put on clothes or enter the appearance editor and viola! Flat black all over. It's the same no matter what computer I log on with, so it's not a hardware issue... And it's just started affecting my alt, as well. I'm doing what I can, but there won't be anything new out of me until this is resolved - it's a tad difficult to make clothes like this.

Anyway, I'll be signing in to talk to folks and take care of business, but for the most part I'll be hiding at home. [stupid, stupid graphics]

EDIT: On a completely different note, several of Iris Seale's (Punch Drunk) clothing pieces have been copied/stolen and sent out as freebies - head over to Shopping Cart Disco for more information.

EDIT 2: The problem is fixed - turns out it's a pretty common issue when using duel monitors - I just have to be careful how I move the SL viewer between the two. Thank you, SL support!.

New Location!

Sassafras has a new location at MO Island, and a sale to celebrate it! And new releases! Just click the sign at the entrance for your coupon. And don't be afraid to say hi - I'll be there in and out all day.

First, introducing my new line of painted jeans (and major thanks to the models, my first!, who posed for this ad). Nothing particularly outrageous (a flaming skull? pfft) but they're tons of fun.



Secondly, my new shape line. I'm switching between shapes and skins (see my profile pic!), and I consider myself pretty good at it (years of anatomy and life drawing), so why not help out those who're not so? For a small price [innocent smile].



The sale is today only, from 10am SL to 10pm SL, so be sure to swing on by!

New Release - Haul Away Joe

I've opened a new store location (and will probably let the New Paris branch lapse - stay tuned for details) at MO Island and to commemorate I've got a brand new release -



And, now that I've hit some kind of groove (I really dig this top), I'll get cracking on some of the items I have sitting on my hard drive. Woohoo!
