Current Happenings at .{Rue}.

So, I'm a little late on the first one and a little early on the second, but they both last for the month, so I think you can forgive me :P This year I was excited to be invited to the Crazy Hair Hunt run by Treebee Withnail!


I've been wanting to make hair for a while, and I think this is an excellent reason to start. And, of course, it's gotta be quirky. Introducing TheHungryDeep:

.{Rue}. Manes: The Hungry Deep

Yep, those are fish in the hair LOL, but have no fear, there's a fishless version too. For the hunt, I've put out the hair in my 7seas Siren set of horn textures (they make good tentacle textures too!). Afterwards, siren will be added to the 7seas custom prizes you can get at the lake, and I'll release all the rest of the colors for regular consumption :)

You can get all the details about the hunt from any of the posters you'll find at the participating shops, but here's the starting point to give you somewhere to start: The U-neek. There's a group too so you can get helpful hints and such, just search for "Crazy Hair Hunt group". Enjoy!

This year I've also had the distinct honor of being a sponsor for the Wear Gray 2012 market!

Wear Gray 2012

I'm really excited about this event - it's run by one of the sweetest SL residents I've ever known, and it's for a great cause! The sim looks beautiful and is set up in an easy to navigate way, so you should have the most painless experience possible at an event such as this :)

Starting on the 6th of April, you'll be able to pick up my new release for this event - a skin called "Neuromancer":

.{Rue}.'s new skins for Wear Gray!

The design is neuron inspired, and enhances the face, chest, and back of the skins. The colors shown above directly benefit the charity, donating 100% of their purchase price. There are 4 more colors available at the event too. Right now, that's all there is, but if people like the design enough and want other colors, then I'll consider releasing them (that means, if you like them but want different colors, let me know!).

Oh AND! To encourage shopping at the event, I've put EVERYTHING in my shop there 50% off! That means that all the skins are 300L each, the Wraith packs of horns, and gray eyepacks are 75L, and the gray Moth facepaint is 30L!

So, mark your calendars!! I'll post the slurl when the event opens! In the meantime, check out the official blog for updates, a peek at who's gonna be there, and more: Wear Gray for a Day

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,...

Renaming an eye color.

It's possible no one cares about this except me, or that folks might feel this issue is too trifling to comment on, but I feel it's important to acknowledge it anyway. "Don't be a jerk" has been a longtime motto of mine. I consider it a rule for life. Unfortunately, sometimes it's possible to be a jerk without knowing it, or without intending it. And when that happens, the best way to not continue to be a jerk is to own up to what you've done and make amends. I've named at least one eye color that I've made "Gypsy" (it's in the Tonic, Tonic XXX, and Pluto lines, at least). I always thought the word simply referred to a person (of any race or creed) that chose a nomadic life. I was peripherally aware of a connection to the Romani, but didn't think much of it. And I was very wrong. The word is typically used two ways - one, as a racial slur for the Romani, typically tied to an egregiously racist stereotype that they are all thie...

Long time no see!

Greetings long lost travellers! Ruin(a) is here with a few bits of news for you: 1. New name, same great taste! - changing Devae. to RUIN., easier to recognize, since it's my name ;) Still in the same place, but if you'd like an LM, here you go ! 2. If you like SL groups, I have one for the new name. I plan to have group benefits eventually, but right now it's just a group. You are welcome to join, and it is free at the moment! Here's a link ! 3. I don't have any products out at the moment, but I DO have a gift out for you - mesh, prim, and petite eye bases that are set up for BoM (bakes on mesh)! It also includes the Luminous Eye Effects that I get a lot of requests for. Drop by sometime and pick it up :) 4. I will be doing products a bit differently this time around: -- Everything that can be, will be BoM (bakes on mesh) by default -- Each product will come in one full pack. -- Single colors will be available only by request. -- Appliers will only be available by ...
