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,...

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 ...
