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!).
