Slight Delay!

So, here I am...trying to type at the public library *eep!* because my computer has up and died on me!

I wanted to find some way to let everyone know I am still alive, I am just having major computer issues and I have no idea when I might be able to get back on. I am planning a wonderful blog when I get back on, so be on the lookout for that definitely! I've already got some great designs and will be taking smexysweet pictures to show them off. I must say I miss all of my wonderful SL friends and blogluvahs as well as my inventory full of new hair fair do's and clothing & shoes! Oh the horror to have this happen as soon as SM re-opens and I still haven't got to see the new stiletto's!!! I know you all feel my pain hehe...so this may be nuts and might not work but I figured i'd take up a little donation hehe. If anyone happens by and is so inclined to help a sistah out to get online a little sooner, I'd appreciate it! If it doesn't happen its all good, times are hard as I am well aware hehe soooo I will be back online as soon as I possibly can!

Hope everyone is doing wonderfully, Gio says he likes having me to himself but don't worry i'm coming to visit as soon as I possibly can. I also, while I'm here say THANK YOU!!! for everyone that has come to read my blog & let me know that they enjoyed it. I love to write, and I adore fashion so to have this platform to express myself is really a blessing and I can't thank everyone enough for taking the time to read my silly little stories!

MIEL!

Anjelyc Morales: Pa, look at this cute skirt

Giovanni Dezno: Where are you?

Anjelyc Morales: I'm at Cupcake!

Giovanni Dezno: There's a store called cupcake?

Anjelyc Morales: No, the sim is Cupcake...the store is MIEL

Giovanni Dezno: i could go for a cupcake ..

ANYWAYS...

Every now and then when I have not a thing to do, I go to a random clothes sim and look at all of the stores. This may seem weird but, its how I end up finding awesome hidden gems lol. So, I don't do this often because lately SL has been so hectic for me but awhile back I happened upon this cute little store called MIEL. I walked inside and I was smiling, people! The clothing is so well done, the quality and detail is so wonderful. For everyone out there that's still got a little innocent child-like side to them, you have to check this place out. It's obviously for adults, but I could totally see a teenager or even a child wearing these clothes also. They come with re-size scripts and everything in the store is incredibly adorable.

The first item that caught my eye was the Tulip skirts, with matching belt. It is so cute and fun, and it comes in 3 colors. You have to see it on, i'm telling you. There are also tanks with optional prim bottoms to the shirt, and they come plain or with a little mid-section pocket. On the tank straps, a sweet little bow and there are matching headbands available to complete this sassy little outfit. The cute lil shoes are called Ant Flats, perfect with pretty much any outfit - they are casual quality and come in a variety of colors.

When I looked through the rest of the store, I decided I wanted to (at some point) own everything that they make. What can I say? I'm a clothes freak and the designs at MIEL make wearing clothes fun, fun, FUN! Everything is so versatile, as I said I could even see younger avatars wearing the outfits and would recommend very much stopping by and seeing what they have. I would almost guarantee you leave with something. I know SL is very into Couture and all of that, but really if you can't see the awesome-ness in the clothes at MIEL...I just don't know! I haven't steered you wrong yet, have I! *lol* Trust me ~ GO!!!

Make Him Over Hunt!

It's almost the end of the month and the fabulous Make Him Over hunt is coming to an end! For weeks now, since June 1st our SL guys have scrambled from sim to sim trying to find all the wonderful little goodies created just for them! The Make Him Over hunt is an absolutely brilliant idea, being that so many of the hunts on SL are generally filled with items for the women. It was high time the men went out and got themselves some great quality items to bulk up their inventories! There have been so many blogs about this hunt, from the innovation of the idea to helping with hints for the hunt.

I myself enjoyed watching my Gio wander around and come home with lots of goodies to unpack and put away! There were some glitches in the beginning, and when something is new thats to be expected. Most were cordial about it, altho I have to say there were some ... lets say 'heated discussions' during the group chat. For the most part, everything went well and all the guys out there got some really great skins, eyes, outfits, shoes and hairstyles! Even a few pieces of jewelry sprinkled in there to make any established avi a bit prettier and to help all the newbies out on their quest to look more like men and less like cartoons! Cudos to Samara Pennell, who organized the hunt and whipped the group into shape when they were being a lil extreme. All in all i'd say this was an awesome idea and a great hunt, i'm sure the guys are looking forward to next year! Possible new designers, new goodies and oooh happy moment ~ a chance for the guys to bond! AWWWWW

For those of you that haven't yet got your tooshies out there, HURRY! HURRY I SAY! The huntis over June 30th and trust me, there are awesome things to be had! Best part? All FREE!!!

Here's the starting spot for those that need it ~ http://slurl.com/secondlife/Kmadd%20Enterprise/190/91/26

DeeTaleZ Update!

Just a quickie update on what's going on with DeeTaleZ!

The sim is busy as usual, apparently not just when Steffi's partying lol. There are a bunch of models showing off the wonderful creations that she comes up with everyday, so if you are ever wondering what something might look when you put it on, just check out the models!

There are also a few new outfits coming out, and I felt obliged to let everyone know about them. First things first, last update Steffi came out with some awesome black and white prim toed stiletto's that had a star pattern. They are absolutely a must-have, and this week she has come out with a dress that matches the shoes to perfection! In addition, it has that special hug-the-booty shape to it that the guys luv to see!

I also saw this great outfit that matches an outfit I bought at DeeTaleZ's Grand Opening for my Gio! Now we can be one of those couples that walk around matching [u either luv it or hate it] and see what happens hehe. I suggest that if you have some clubbin to do this weekend, you stop by DeeTaleZ and check out their new releases. You will be turnin heads!

~* Samahi Couture *~

Anjelyc Morales: Babe, come see this store i found!

Giovanni Dezno: Ok, tp me baby im at home

Anjelyc Morales: isnt it nice! i want everything in here its so pretty! i need somethin...

Giovanni Dezno: We need to get out of here before we're poor again..

Happening upon this fabulous shop was pure luck. When I stepped inside I was whisked away to a magical land I like to call "Ropa Heaven". Wall to wall, do you hear me when I say wall to wall??? WALL TO WALL AMAZING CLOTHES! I had the pleasure of speaking directly with Samahi and she is a new designer, only been out a couple of months. Let me tell you, every avi with any fashion sense at all should own at least 1 of her outfits (altho I personally hope to own them all) and rock it with pride. I have rarely come across someone so early in the process that has such attention to detail and knowledge of textures & fabrics. The colors she puts together with fabrics that compliment it soooo well is just unreal. I put on my first Samahi Couture dress and I didn't want to take it off! For the ladies such as myself that have some curves to them, these clothes hug those curves like a silk glove. You really can't go wrong, there' something here for everyone! Sophisticated outfits for the classy working ladies, Clubwear for my party gurls, Sexii sets for the chula's and Gorgeous gowns for any occasion. Many of the outfits come with alternative ways to wear them for a different look without too much hassle. Go formal with a gown and simply change your skirt to a mini to go to a club after! She really keeps it versatile and a great value for your Lindens.

If you have not been there yet, you NEED to go! I immediately got myself added to her group and stuck her in my picks. It is definitely worth the TP to check out Samahi Couture. I promise, you will find at least 5 things you want to own! Samahi will be looking to branch out in the future, hopefully coming out with a jewelry and accessories line. I personally look forward to that and will be hot on her tracks for another review at that time!

DeeTaleZ Grand Opening!!!

As far as I know, anyone that has a sense of style and an eye for the fabulous has a Top 5 (or 10). The places you can go into and NEED to buy something in there! It doesn't matter what day of the week you go, or even every day...you will see something u didn't see before that you have to own! I have such a list...mine happens to be more of a Top 15, but lets not dwell ok? This particular blog is more of an homage, for lack of a better adage (u like the fancy words, right?) to one of the first stores I gasped for. There aren't many designers that can really surprise you with what they come up with in a good way. Believe me, I've looked! Once upon a time, Gio & I were looking for nice men's clothing, which is for some reason incredibly sparce in SL. We came across FreeSoul and were pleasantly surprised and shocked at the same time LOL...mind you, we were both fairly new and had not been on a shopping spree so to speak. The quality of clothes blew us away, and so did the prices! When you are new, you just don't know the difference between people that just want to charge and not give quality and what is truely quality. Freesoul was obvious quality and we did end up buying some items for the both of us! Price and all, it was worth it because dagnabit we looked GOOD. Recently, I had a small SL break and came back to a notice that Freesoul was closing! I was completely devistated for 10 minutes, until I read further and realized they were going to re-open with a new name and new designs *WHEW* lol.

I was given the privilege of being able to walk around the sim before it was done, and see what was being done. It was such an amazing sight, to be able to see it mid-creation and although not before everyone, before most! Steffi Villota, Owner of DeeTalez (formerly FreeSoul Design) and Dark Hennesy, DeeTaleZ Builder are a power couple taking SL by storm! Not only have they re-designed their clothing line, but they've revamped their accessories, prim nails, new skins, shoes, eyes and even teeth! Yes, people I said TEETH. DeeTaleZ Dental can be found in the Bodyshop of the DeeTaleZ sim and I have never heard of such a thing which goes to show what visionaries these two really are. They are also very sweet, down to earth people that just want to do good work and they succeed as far as i'm concerned. I had the opportunity to ask them a few questions, little impromptu blog interview - here's what they had to say!

Anjelyc ~ The world needs to know! I have to ask! Why the new name?

Steffi & Dark - Well the reason for the new name is, we became a RL company and Freesoul Design is a registered Trademark already. And to not get into any trouble we thought it might be better to change the name.

Anjelyc ~ That is a very good idea lol, we don't want to see you guys on the news one day. Do you think it will be difficult to transition from FreeSoul, which everyone knows - to DeeTaleZ? Why?

Steffi & Dark ~ uhm well...wont be that hard...okay there are many many many people who know us as Freesoul Design, and it probably will be impossible to reach them all but also there are many who havent heard of us yet and maybe we can get their attention now ;o)

Anjelyc ~ That is so true, way to think positive. I took a walk around your new sim, and its looking great! How did you go about deciding on moving to a new sim?

Steffi & Dark ~ first of all, tyvm :) the decision came with the new name....we thought it would be better to not only come up with a new name but rather with a whole new layout.

Anjelyc ~ Great idea, its really creative. How hard is it to get everything just as you want it?

Steffi & Dark ~ best example would be the new SIM....6 MONTH of building!!! lol

Anjelyc ~ Ok that's crazyness lol, you guys sure work your butts off. Is there a tentative Grand Opening date? Will there be a celebration of any kind?

Steffi & Dark ~ No, there is no tentantive Date set yet....but yes....there will be a Big Ass Grand Opening Party :DDD

Anjelyc ~ Very cool, i'll keep my calendar open hehe...what made you branch into tattoo's?

Steffi & Dark ~ Well we have had Tattoos with Freesoul already, but never had the time to work on them constantly. But now our talented Tattoo Artist Ines Craft joined us and we can offer a wide range of Tattoos !

Anjelyc ~ I had no idea! Shows how clothes-centric I can be grrr. So all of your customers know your designs are AMAZING! Who is the real mastermind behind the creations?

Steffi & Dark ~ Mastermind & Bosslady Steffi Villota :D

Anjelyc ~ YAY for GirlPower lol! How do you go about putting together the pre-selected outfits that you sell as a whole ensemble?

Steffi & Dark ~ imagine, Steffi going through the Store picking this and that, wear it all together and the Outfit is done.

Anjelyc ~ Geez that woman of yours has got some talent huh! What are the inspirations for the designs?

Steffi & Dark ~ They just come up...lol...well from surfing through the www looking for actual trends of course and a bit from the taste for Fashion maybe :D

Anjelyc ~ Your attention to detail is incredible! How long does it take to create a piece?

Steffi & Dark ~ Always depends on the piece....but normally like 1 - 3 days.

Anjelyc ~ Being a fan of your designs, I feel it is an honor to be given the opportunity to write on your behalf and the behalf of DeeTalez. If you could say anything to all of your loyal fans/customers, what would it be?

Steffi & Dark ~ Thanks so much to each and everyone of you !!! Your the ones who made us who we are today !!! Keep Supporting original Creators and not cheap copys without their own idea. THANK YOU ALL !!!!

Anjelyc ~ Thank you so much for the opportunity to see your new creations, to walk your sim and to blog about your amazing stores!

Steffi & Dark ~ You are very welcome Anjelyc. Thank you aswell for the job your doing! Meaning giving designers the chance to present their creations that way!

Yesterday happened to be the Grand Opening and I was fortunate enough to attend. The sim was PACKED, let me tell you what it was...LAGTASTIC! That's what it was lol, but it was lots of fun. After I detached some HUD's and turned my graphics way down, I was able to walk a bit and see the crowds of people walking & flying the sim. Steffi and Dark were walking the im as well, randomly giving gift cards out to the crowd that came out to help them celebrate their Grand Opening! The party had some great music as well, DJ'd by Jayce Slade of WJay 106.9 - The Experience. Their station is streamed in the DeeTaleZ sim 24/7! Music, gifts, fun and lots of friends to help celebrate the incredible job we all know Steffi and Dark will continue, hopefully for a long time! If you haven't already stopped by the new sim, DOOOO IT! There is so much to see, so many shops to wander...so much to spend all your lindens on! The jewelry store is still under construction but there are items in there for sale! Freebies around the sim as well, and take the subway downstairs for customer service and gift cards.

Words can't begin to express how much of an honor I feel it is to be able to blog about this event, the new line and also getting to know both of these talented souls. With Steffi as Owner/Creator, and Dark as Builder, they can't seem to go wrong. I admire the dedication and attention they give to the things they create. It shows in their work that they aren't just out to make a buck, they want their names to be synonymous with QUALITY.
