New store, party, eyes, and groupies!

I'm not sure why I save everything up for monster posts, but here we go! LOL

So, first things first - .{Rue}. has finally grown into a new mainstore! I am very excited to announce that I am joining the illustrious MiaSnow on her lovely Twomoons Island! Appropriately for the island environment, the store is actually on a boat :) It's the first store build I've been really happy with, and it's got such great atmosphere.

I've also invested in a new vendor system that allows for redelivery and customer rewards, which is exciting! As part of the process of changing over, I decided to get rid of all the notecards and LMs cluttering up the vendors and stick them all in one place. Now, the first time you arrive at the store, you'll be given a notecard with everything you need to know in it. After that you won't be offered it again until it changes (... or 7000 unique avatars come through that door, but somehow I don't think that's going to happen lol). Please DO accept and at least skim it - it has my shop policy and other useful notes in it :)

In celebration of the newer, bigger shop, I'm also throwing a party on Friday!

{Rue} Grand Opening Party Flyer

Be sure to jot it down on your calendars! There may even be a gift there >_>

I thought as part of opening the new shop I'd actually finally release these eyes that I've been working on for ages and ages and finally finished! Introducing Nereid, mermaid inspired pearl-like eyes...
.{Rue}. Eye'd/Nereid
I'm really excited about these - they come in many many colors, and each color comes in 5 sizes! The difference in the sizes is pretty big, too, so in essence you really get 5 difference looks with each eye. And, of course, prim versions of all of them. Each color pack (5 system eyes and 5 pairs of prim eyes) is 150L. When you go to the shop, FreeLove, the free wearable demo, is the rainbow-y one ;)

And last, but not least, I have also finally created an inworld group for you likeminded folks to have a place to chat, ask questions, and enjoy free gifts from me! The group is called "Purlieu of .{Rue}.". There is a small 100L fee to keep out the riffraff, but I think it'll be worth it. In fact, there's even a group gift sitting in there just waiting for you to grab it:
.{Rue}. Eye'd/Nereid: Ritual (group gift)
 All five sizes are included!

Ok, I think that's enough for now, don't you? ;)

Useful Disasters

Well. I have lost a huge amount of computer files for the second time. Included in this recent loss were all of my ad and product templates, as well as a lot of collected resources (both free and purchased). So, you know, that sucks. I am nothing if not fairly resilient, however. So, I'm going to use this opportunity to clean house, organize, and start from scratch. Which means a lot of behind the scenes work that will likely take a lot of time in which you will see nothing from me. But I am not giving up. So have no fear - I may be quiet, but I am not gone. It will also mean a few changes to my stuff, some of which probably doesn't matter that much to you, but I'm gonna tell you anyway because I'm weird and honest like that. So! The stuff that doesn't matter: New ads. And since I'm making a new template, I'm gonna redo all my old ads. Because I like visual consistency. New logo, probably. I'm probably going to stick with the same basic idea,...

Winds of Change!

I'm really excited to announce two pieces of news for .{Rue}.! Drumroll please .... #1: I have a partner! My friend Themis Enzo has done me the honor of joining the brand .{Rue}. <3 She will be creating under the brand, and may even be bringing in some of her favorite Favole items! She'll be helping out a lot with the advertising too, so expect her name to be attached to blogposts, notecards, messages and the like. We also have some plans stewing of collaborations, which is pretty exciting. While she'll be managing a lot of the public face of .{Rue}., I do recommend for product questions and issues to contact the person who made the item (in other words, check the items' properties for the creator). It's not a big deal if you get the wrong person, as we'll pass the messages on to each other, but it will probably be faster for *you* if you contact the particular creator directly. Anyway, Themis is awesome and I'm so very delighted to be working wit...

Finally, something new and ... horny. ahem.

This is kind of a huge update, so bear with me! :) So, after reviewing my old House of Ruin horn textures, I decided they were unsatisfactory and set out to make better ones. It's taken me a while and a few failures, but AT LAST I have created a set of textures that I find lovely and satisfies my inner critic! Here are the standard color packs that every horn style will come in (click through on the pic to see them huge, up close and personal). Each has 10 different textures, and will be L$150 each, with the fatpack of 5 for L$375: In addition, I have 2 extra special packs .. 1.) One, especially for 7 Seas custom catches - 2.) and one especially for Moody Mondays (with an extra color :D) -   Ok, so, new textures, so what? Right? Well, of course I wouldn't let you in on the new textures if I didn't actually have something to put them ON. I've released 6 horn styles: a couple oldies, a could newies, one reworkedish, and one for FREE: Re-released House of Ruin styles ...
