Tooomorrow.. Tomorrow

Yes.. Jan 1st I will pull my 2009 sequin pumps.. They are ONLY $10L a pair and after Jan 1st.. they will be NO MORE! Get them now.. they're transfer so buy a pair for a friend...

Working on some NEW boots, and some new lucky chair items too.. so GET the Rudolf and Frostie boots NOW before I take them out forever..

Main Store

One of my more fav things to do sometimes is make NEW ads.. I've been using the Dare To Be Unusual ad as sort of my logo.. and I thought I'd change it up a little. I'm not just unusual in my designs, but I try to keep my prices low. I know my shoes aren't GO TO shoes, they are more like that funny candy bar you see as you load your groceries on the belt.. an impulse item. Maybe you like kitties and want my many kitty shoes. I know they aren't SRS BNS, so I don't price them like SRS BNS. I thought I'd try to play that up a little more. What do you think? Yay or Nay?

~flirt~ fine jewellery

#3 First day in SL
I went to a freebie place, arrived and then wondered why I just couldn't move my avatar - my first encounter with lag

#4 Your vision for your business
To achieve perfection in terms of virtual jewellery creation. Oh, you meant something realistic? I'd love for the business to afford it's own sim one day - a long way off still.

#5 Favorite place in SL
Friends Meeting Hall, Ode or Recovery Island

#6 Favorite Freebie
Eloh Elliot's skins due to how they revolutionised the skin industry in SL

#7 Why you joined DiS
Initially it was because I wanted to get involved in Relay For Life and they were the team I knew most people on. But it's become a great source of support, help and FUN!

#8 Upcoming plans
So many! Getting rid of this flu-bug would be a nice start, then perhaps finishing the two diamond sets in my inventory, launching a line of quality men's jewellery. I'd like to learn how to make sculpties so I can incorporate sculptie elements in some of my designs. When are they bringing in 48 hour days?

#9 Another store you love
SO many! Sn@tch, Maitreya, Calla, DP Serendipity, Ce Cubic, Zaara, Tesla... the list goes on...

#10 Favorite color and why
Dark wine-red. Warm but striking, confident, classy and flattering, yet much easier to wear than some colours.

Thank you, Skinkie for your continued support of Secluded Cove!
