project open letter was started after I read yet another open letter in a third party forum begging Linden Lab to fix myriad problems that have been going on daily for more than a year, in some cases extending years. Since Linden Lab had worked actively to cut off two way communication methods (the removal of the official discussion forums as well as restricting commenting on their blog), I knew a post on a third party site was not going to get any attention.

As I thought more about it, I realized that just because we no longer have a centralized place we can raise and discuss issues collectively does not mean that we do not have a voice. While an individual forum post may not draw much attention, the visibility of an open letter on a large number of SL web sites and blogs, along with locations in SL would at least help to get attention to the message. Whether it can bring about change remains to be seen, but the effort so far has been worthwhile.

On Monday, April 30th, the letter will be sent to Linden Lab, and will be posted on participating sites. The letter will remain for a yet to be determined amount of time, based upon the response received. It is not an effort to embarass or anger Linden Lab, who we do have a great amount of respect for. It is simply using the tools we have available to express ourselves collectively, since other outlets have been removed.

Ultimately, it comes down to wanting Second Life to survive and to flourish, not to continue to languish under current conditions. It is something that benefits all of us, and Linden Lab especially. It is much easier to retain customers when things work as promised.

Thank you to everyone who has helped with this project, from helping to compose the letter (not an easy process by any means) to adding your signatures and including it on your sites. Your efforts have shown how important this is to you as well, and that makes it very gratifying. Special thanks to the Second Citizen forum members who actively participated in this process from conception, and to Vivianne Draper, whose original, sincere open letter provided the inspiration for this project.

Released two accessories at Refuge this weekend. I dunno why I've had the desire to work with prims since we don't seem to get along very well... but I actually managed to make these. yay. There's a collar with spikeys and a worn out padlock and a cuff necklace which I've been wanting to make for... well.. months.



The padlock collar I made for just the ladies since I don't normally see very many guys with collars on with dainty like spikes. hehe I actually attempted to size it up using both my male av and Krius but it just didn't look right. But it's mod so if you're a dude and WANT to try to resize it... more power to ya. :P



As for the cuffs, I made a larger and smaller version so if the small doesn't fit very well you have a larger version to wear... or if you're a guy... the large one should fit ya.

I have Krius to thank for all his amazing encouragement even tho I got very frustrated with them and almost gave up on em. <3

So now that I've opened up the shop in Koreshan... I figured I should have some new stuffs to put into it.


Music For Life - This tee has a skull with earphones with a cord wrapping onto the back (ty for suggesting it Noamslice) with music sheets behind it all. Comes with a long stripey sleeved under tee and a regular short sleeved tee.

Hookie - This was inspired by a music video I watched the other day and named by Rudra. There's 5 colors, sold separately or as a pack, and comes with socks, fishnets, shorts and a faded screen printed skully tie tee. I think this is my fav of the bunch released.

Melting Heart - Went for a fun festive bright sporty tee with a fun lil heart/wing/melt design on the chest. Comes in a shirt layer as well as a jacket layer for length.

Rudra Halter - Named after my beloved Rudra Dal. She has this killer tat on her back she wanted to proudly prance around with but needed a good open back shirt. So this halter was born and named after her. It's a satin like blue/grey fade with a subtle flower design wrapping around the rib section.

Track Suit - Last but not least... the unisex Track Suit. This comes with lots of stuff actually... the skully track jacket with prim collar, 1 grey ribbed tank with matching skully pattern on back, 1 pair of pants with drawn on drawstrings (cuz the jacket falls low on the hips), 1 pair of pants with flexi drawstrings (high rise) and a low rise pair as well... and all can be worn with the prim pant legs or without since I made them all mod.

So yea... that's all she wrote folks!

Well... I sat on my butt long enough and felt it was time to get back to getting the new Refuge store done. So while it's still missing a few lil things, I'm opening it up officially. I have a few pics to make for the walls, a backstage dressing area and possibly putting the clearance items back there. I technically could have opened it earlier but i wanted to have new product to slather on the stage (where the new items will be) Here are a few images of the shop.
