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 with her :D



#2: We have a new blogger request system!

It's pretty well explained if you click on that link up there, but the gist is this: Instead of keeping a list of bloggers, we'll be granting requests on a per item basis. There will be a limit of how many requests per item per year (we'll reset our records every New Years). Although we've given out things before, we're resetting everything starting now. That means any item, old or new, as long as it's available somewhere (and yes, the marketplace counts) can be requested. Because the limit per item is very small, unless you request a particular color, we'll be giving out the fatpack! There's more details, but I will leave that to those who are interested to investigate ;)

In addition, we'll be posting the links to blog posts featuring our items on a new page called "Featured" as an added thank you to all the people who show off our stuff. Top positions will of course be granted to those who've made requests and been accepted by us.


There will be other shifts and changes as Themis and I figure out our rhythm, and we'll keep you posted on anything significant.

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 ...
