New Collars @ Refuge

2009-05-02T13:12:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone!! Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend.

There are three new collars out in the accessories section of Refuge. These collars are script resizable so be sure to read the notecard if you are unfamiliar with the procedure and the collars dont fit straight outta the box. :) I also included both a spine and chest attachment version for your convenience. :D

New Releases: Half Vests & Stride Vest

2009-04-25T08:44:00.001-07:00

New Vests were released at the main shop.

Half Vests: These come with your choice of color for the undershirt as well as a vest only jacket layer so you can use your own sense of layering style. Available in Grey and Black.

Stride Vest: These vests are haltered with a large tie in back. Yep... that's about it. :P

New Store, New Stuff!

2009-04-11T20:45:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone! Lots to say so I'll keep it short. My store has been completely remodeled and had a big face lift. I hope you like it. It was actually really tough to get finished with all the RL crap going on keeping me away from SL.

New stuff includes a hair, a hat, and lots of little eyeballs. Just see for yourself!

Happy Valentine's Day from Refuge!

2009-02-11T22:44:00.000-08:00

Havent been in SL very much lately but I did want to take some time to make a few things for Valentine's Day. Better late than never right? Anyhow... 3 Valentine Ringer Tee's and a necklace for your valentine pleasure.

Please note.. these are all no transfer. If you want to send your special someone an item, Xstreet will handle that for you. Just visit http://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&MerchantID=19795 (i think that works haha)

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!

Refuge featured on Fabulous Fashion TV

2009-02-09T16:51:00.000-08:00

I'm a bit late on getting this out but I wanted to share with anyone who cares (could just be me but I dun care heh).

Refuge was recently featured on Fabulous Fashion TV by Accessories Stylist Daphne Abernathy. I wanted to extend a big thank you to Daphne for choosing Refuge to feature on the show. Good luck in all your future endeavors!

Freebie - Hurry Before Its Too Late!

2008-12-21T18:40:00.000-08:00

4(ish) more days left to get your freebie Holiday Tee before it's gone forevers! Get it at the main store.

New Hair & FREEBIE!

2008-12-19T10:01:00.000-08:00

New hair style out at Refuge named Sereena. This is a playful pigtail, hair back, frayed bang long style.

Better late than never right? A Holiday Tee available now until Christmas. You cant go wrong with Free right? Didn't think so. :P

New Boots @ Refuge

2008-12-10T08:39:00.000-08:00

Well after lots of frustration and time, I finally finished the project I was working on. Project... BOOTS!

Yay my first attempt at sculpting some footwear and low and behold.. in the form of boots. Let me introduce you to the newest members of the Refuge family.

This boot is what started it all. This boot comes with free updates that will include new patterns and a new scripting structure once the script is finished (looooooong story behind this one). This boot is fully customizable to where you can change the leather as well as the sock color/patterns. I personally dig the stripes. Each foot acts independantly so you can mismatch your boot and socks. It is Copy only and contains a resize script for easy fitting. (be sure to read the notecard first when purchasing for directions)

You probably might have noticed that I like basic and somewhat plain items. I don't know why. I'm like this in RL too .. go figure. This is a simple chunky boot... sister to Paradox. This is pretty much the naked version of Paradox. The leather is a bit different on it and it's available in three colors. Black, Dark Brown and white.

I hope your AVs feet are happy... I know mine are. :D

<3 Trin

P.S.) Special thanks to Krius, my one and only, for keeping me going on this when I wanted to quit like a bajillion times. I love you baby!

New Hairs @ Refuge

2008-12-04T12:26:00.000-08:00

Two new styles added to the Refuge Hair Collection. Linda & Jenna. Jenna is a slight alteration of an older style that was retired a few months ago. Linda.. is new.

We all know we can never have enough hair so head on over and give these a test spin. :)

<3 Trin

New Stuff!

2008-11-28T10:32:00.000-08:00

Few new things released today at the main store... Hair, Accessories and a Top.

Bridget comes with a texture change hat with the option of solids, stripes and argyle patterns and colors.

This top comes in 9 color options and include prim sleeves, a prim chest strap and bottom wrap.

Not much to say on this except I thought it was cute. :P

New Hair & Clothing @ Refuge

2008-11-19T08:41:00.000-08:00

I'm alive still! (barely)

Been taking some time off SL and getting over Flu's. Bleh

Lots of stuff .. well.. kinda. 2 Tee's, a hair and some spice added to an existing release by popular requests. These releases are pretty much inspired and modeled around my RL.

Lets start with the newness shall we? Yes.. we shalls!

Hair! This style was pretty much an exact replica of my hair on a daily basis. I'm pretty lazy most of the time when it comes to my hair unless im going out or something. It's just too long to do much of anything without it getting in my way so i pull it up without having a boring ponytail and clip the bangs back. Tho lots of strands tend to escape so that makes up the messy look you see here. :P

As for the the clothing... the tee's in this release were modeled after two of my favorite tee's. They aren't exact but they were definately inspired by them.

Now.... I've gotten a TON of requests to make the last top I released available in more than just black. So I figured I'd give it a shot and 8 new colors were born.

Hope you're all well and I hope to have you hear from me again soon when I've kicked my butt into work mode. ;)

Refuge / SiniStyle Halloween Collaboration

2008-10-22T16:30:00.000-07:00

Today's release is brought to you by the letter S, the letter R and the number... ummm... well there's no number. Basically what I'm trying to say in that Sesame Street kind of way is that todays releases is a collaboration between SiniStyle and Refuge.

Thats right boys and girls... inside both SiniStyle and Refuge you'll find the Mistress of The Dark costume just in time for Halloween. This is a complete avatar... so you get EVERYTHING you see in the poster. Shape, Skin, Eyes, Hair, Dress, Belt, Shoes, Ring.. and whatever else I might have missed.

Happy Early Halloween Everyone!!!

Newness @ Refuge

2008-10-17T08:55:00.001-07:00

I know it's been awhile since my last release... Things happen, right?

I've been getting a lot of requests for Alex (the pigtails with a hat) but without the hat. SOOOO I decided to listen and make the 'sister style' to Alex. This is.. Alexys.

Also to go with it, a top I wanted to make for my av. I am sharing it with you all now. The top is called Bombshell and has sculpted sleeves so you dont feel like you just got out of the rain and your clothes are smashed up against yer skin.

Its not a lot.. but it's a lil and a lil more is on the way. :P Have a great weekend everyone!

New Hair @ Refuge

2008-09-15T11:08:00.000-07:00

A lot going on and haven't really had the heart to make much but I wanted to have something put out when the burial sale was over. So I managed to put together this hair. It has a voice command color changer for the band and bow as well as a hide/show script to remove the bow.

I have a feeling releases will be really slow for awhile. SL and my RL have both taken a toll and i'm just wiped out. I'm sure if inspiration strikes i'll start on something new. Until then i'm trying to get my life back in order and learning to breathe all over again. Still looking into the possibility of moving my store. I've gotten a pretty intriguing offer that i might take.. but everything's kinda up in the air at the moment. Anyhow... enjoy the hair!

Big Burial Sale!

2008-09-06T17:43:00.000-07:00

Big Burial Sale happening now till September 14,2008. Clothing and Hair has been slashed over 50% off and when the sale is over, will be dead and buried foreverz!

Sale is located in front of the church in the nice big hole in the ground awaiting it's proper burial. Out with the old... In with the new.

Also a heads up.. Refuge may be moving soon. More details to come at a later date. Happy Shopping everyone!

2008-08-27T09:50:00.000-07:00

Beth is a hairstyle I had originally finished just before Hair Fair began. I contemplated including it in the hair fair releases but decided to go with the original 5 hairs intended. So now you can get the hair with half the lag! hehe

Up next, Virtue. This choker is a leather band with lotsa chain and beads dangling off a metal floral like piece from each side. This necklace is scripted to resize larger or smaller so dont be shocked if you go in trying to mod it and it says no mod. :P

For those of you who like to be all girlie and put bows in your hair... I made three bows that can color change to your liking as well as hide/show the larger leather bow in back. The skull bow will also let you change the color of the skull bow as well to suit your needs.

New Hair @ Refuge: Haleigh

2008-06-22T19:21:00.000-07:00

Been out of it for awhile due to RL issues and concerns. I've had this hairstyle sitting in my inventory 90% done so I figured I'd take the time to finish it off and put it out for you guys. I hope to have more time and energy to make more things in the near future.. but until then... here's Haleigh!

New @ Refuge: Brood Outfit

2008-05-22T16:20:00.000-07:00

Finally finished a jacket set I've been working on for at least a week it seems. Now out at the main store is Brood. A back jacket with shirt, shorts, belt, stockings and ... well pretty much everything in the ad but the hair and the boots. So without further ado... here's Brood!!

New Hair & New Textures (yet again)

2008-05-15T08:32:00.000-07:00

Well after two months of off and on tweaking... I finally finished a new set of hair textures. Hopefully these are here to stay since i seem to change hair textures so often because I always find some type of flaw in them after some time and the more I work with em. So to celebrate.. I've released a new hair called "Emma". Also included in the release are three older styles reborn with the new textures. I just picked some of my older styles that are some of my favs and others' as well. These are now up in the main store so hop on over and check em out. :)

Dive On Into Refuge!

All but the solids come with 5 different bottom options. A string bikini for those who dont mind baring all... a Modest Bikini bottom for those not ready to let it all out... Boy Shorts for even more coverage and two solid bottoms with elastic waistbands. Im enclosing one of each category for you to check out. To see the rest hop on by the main store on the SiniStyle sim or look in my picks for a teleport straight there.

New Dresses @ Refuge

2008-05-03T09:14:00.000-07:00

Hey all!!

New stuff over at Refuge. Dresses!!! Lots of em too. Patterns, Solids, Stockings... enough to find your style and wear it. :) Enough said.. now check out the pictures. hehe

Newness At Refuge!

2008-04-28T09:28:00.001-07:00

Two new products are now gracing the walls of Refuge. These new wall decorations (products) include a dress with three skirt options depending on your own personal tastes and a corset. Both are available in an array of colors and sold individually or if you want to save a buncha lindens.. a fat pack with all of it. (if you're like me it's hard to decide on one or two colors hehe)

Anyways.. here are the piccies for your viewing pleasure.... or whatever they are to you. HAPPY MONDAY (snores at her desk)

Even more stuff @ Refuge

2008-04-16T09:18:00.000-07:00

Went from not releasing much of anything in weeks to a release last week AND this week. :P I'll keep this blog post short.. but there's three new items up over at the main store in the Sinistyle sim. Included in the release is a body suit, a sheer & satin tank top, and a 'back to basics' dress. Nothing fancy but I tend to like basic clothing in RL too so I guess I flock to the same trend in game. Call it what you will but I'm ok admitting to liking more 'boring' styles. haha ANYWAYS.... onto the pictures!!

New Separates @ Refuge gasp

2008-04-08T09:29:00.000-07:00

I know, I know.. it's been forever and a day since i've released anything. Figured i'd kill that streak with a few tops. You can purchase them individually or as a fat pack with a pretty decent discount if you go that route. Anyways... enough typin and more .. umm.. picturing.

Welp that's all for now. Hopefully next time I wont have such a huge gap in between my releases. Between work in RL, the crappiness of SL, and playing my Xbox.. I just had no desire to buckle myself down in Photoshop and battle the mesh template. :P

Hope you're all having a fantastical week!!!

Store Cards Now Available!

2008-03-04T22:08:00.000-08:00

There are now Store Cards offered at Refuge. Big thanks to Krius for making this possible. :* Its easy to use when SL isn't being retarded and giving stale transactions. Just wear the card when in the store and select Card from the pie menu. Please keep in mind.. collaborations with Krius that are hanging in my store that are from Sinistyle will not work with the gift card nor the vendors in the mix and match section. But you have free reign everywhere else in the store. :P

Oh and if you're not in the update group, you're missing out. I offered a free L$100 gift card for everyone. Its not available anymore now so please don't join and ask for it. lol Don't miss out on the next freebie offer.. join now. (that is if you want to of course hehe)

Release: Trish (in conjunction with Sinistyle)

2008-02-21T12:09:00.000-08:00

Krius and I got to work together to put together an outfit from the game Devil May Cry 4 in which he's become addicted to as of lately. :P This outfit was based off the Trish character within the game.

You can purchase each part separately or for a cheaper price just grab the entire thing and get the added collar. Krius did a kick ass job on the belt and the bracers.

All items are available in both Sinistyle as well as Refuge. That's about it for now. Enjoy yourselves everyone!

Specialty Hair Color Sale

2008-02-09T12:07:00.000-08:00

I will be discontinuing 5 hair colors from Refuge's hair selection. For a limited time I have marked down the above colors and when the sale ends.. the hair color textures will no longer be available. So if you want em, go get em before they are gone. I'm still not for sure how long the sale will last but just want to clear up some room for more hair I have planned in the near future.

Yep think that's all for now. Have a great weekend everyone!

Refuge Release: Pants, Accessories, Tops

2008-02-04T15:46:00.000-08:00

Ok everyone take a deep breath... lots of new stuff to cram into one blog post.

Captivation is a lace/fishnet/satin top with a prim bow attachment in the front.

Heart & Key Locket Set is a mod/transfer necklace that you can transfer to your significant other. Comes with a larger version of the key necklace since I figured the locket part was more 'girlier' and the mens can wear the key to your heart. :D

United Belt - Comes in black and an updated brown leather (the other was so dark it was mistaken for black).

Valentine Ringer Tee - Just a tee for this valentine season. My update group got this for free! YAY for free stuff.

Apathetic Jeans came about just cuz i wanted more black jeans. Possibly will release other colors in the near future but for now.. this pair will have to do. :P

Leather Pants - Red .. I've had several requests for red leather pants shortly after releasing the black pair. So I listened and here it is.

That concludes the updates this week over at Refuge. Stop by the main store in the Sinistyle Sim. Teleport link is provided in the side column ( <--- over there hehe ) or you can just look up my profile and find a link there.

Hope you're all well and enjoy your second life!

New Releases: Angelic & Studded Belt

2008-01-28T20:13:00.000-08:00

Hiyas everyone!

I just put out a bunch of mix and match pieces. Coordinate the outfit you want with top skirt and sock and you can purchase them as separates or just get the full complete outfit. See what it looks like before you put it together. Its up to you.

You're also welcome to buy the entire color set so you don't have to worry about coordinating which skirt you want with which top and pair of socks.

Also in the release.. a studded belt in the traditional black and brown. Welp thats all for now. Take care everyone!

New Separates @ Refuge

2008-01-21T11:24:00.000-08:00

I will be the first to admit it... I'm lazy. I have this whole new blog layout too but I don't seem to want to take the extra 30 min to finalize it and launch it.

HOWEVER....

I was able to muster up a few new separates for the shop. This release includes two tops available as a fat pack or individual colors of your choosing. Also included are the skirt version of the seemingly popular jean in my shop.. socialite. But we all know pictures speak a thousand words so i'll just stop saying my thousand words and leave you with the pictures. :P Have a wonderful week everyone!!

New Accessories: Belts, Beads and Bands (oh my)

2008-01-11T10:03:00.000-08:00

I set out a few new accessories in the store last night. Trying to get back in the swing of making things for the store since i've been slacking A LOT lately and had a hard time getting my head back in the game after the past holidays and ... well ... life in general. I popped out a new belt available in a brown and a black as well as two lil bead bracelet combos. I've already had one suggestion to make more colors than the two offered right now.. but we'll see how these go first. :P

Hope you're all doing well and enjoying your new 2008 and I hope it brings much happiness to you.

<3 Trin

2007-12-10T10:18:00.000-08:00

I know I just put out a bunch of stuff earlier in the week.. but I guess my creating streak wasn't out yet. Just put out another hair style as well as some peepers. 24 different colors to look through.

New Stuffage @ Refuge!

2007-12-04T14:12:00.000-08:00

Lots of new stuff out today at Refuge. Including 2 belts (in black and brown with two options) and 4 new hairstyles. I even tried my hand at shorter styles which isnt really my personal forte but have come to really like if i dont say so myself. :P For the time being these are only located at the brand new store that opened up in Sinistyle sim in the church near the cemetary. Which brings me to the next topic....

The new main store is now open! As much as I love Koreshan.. i felt i was outgrowing my prims and space. that and the fact my puter and the servers Kore is on do not get along. So.... this gave me a good opportunity to move my store over to Sinistyle alongside Krius <3 which is still a part of the Koreshan family and just next door.

Anyways.. that's it for now. See you awesome pixels at a later date. :D

New Releases: Devoted, Leather Pants & Misfit

2007-11-12T10:52:00.000-08:00

Devoted - This top includes a tank top which can be worn separately.. or with the mesh overshirt. Includes prim ruffle, prim tie (both of which can be worn together or individually or not at all depending on your preference) and a lace sleeve with two different attachment options depending on where you wear your necklaces. :P

Leather Pants - Been wanting a pair of leather pants for some time and while I only found one source who had a good pair.. I started thinking.. well it cant be THAT hard can it? Well it was a lil challenging and did take quite some time to make.. but I think the end result came out pretty good. Originally I had a seam and triangle like design on the back side but when Krius put em on.. it looked like he was sporting a thong so Ii decided to include one with and one without it in case any men decide to wear a pair. Unless they like thongs haha.

Misfit - This was inspired by a rl choker I saw on the web. And to give credit where credit is due.. Krius helped me with the sculptie heart since the way I had it before his help i was not too happy with. The heart is color change via voice so you can match it with whatever you feel you need to match it up with. Your eyes, your toenails, your undergarments.. whatever. :P I named it misfit not only because Krius helped me with the heart.. but because he is my heart <3 *grins*.

So that's a wrap everyone! Hope you're all enjoying your SecondLife!

This is Halloween.. This is Halloween... lalalala

2007-10-29T11:02:00.000-07:00

I have hardly been around SL due to a bunch of RL happenings... so I decided to sit down this weekend and finish the projects I had started that were just taking up space in my inventory and not on my shelves.

I've finished the one costume I started like.. a month ago almost. I wanted to do more costumes but well.. things come up. So in this release, I included a freebie.. yes I said FREEBIE.. Halloween Tee and the Radiant Ruthie costume.

The Costume.. includes your own box with a photo panel to change to your picture.. hair, swimsuit, sandals, neck tie, wrist ties, tummy tie, ankles ties, a brush and sunscreen. Just make sure to turn your AO's off or you'll be stepping outta your box.. literally. Afterall.. we are all just walking barbie dolls.. or in SL's case.. glamorized Ruth's :P

oh oh oh and before I forget.. I wanna give a huge squeezy hug to Noamslice... He knows i've been going through a ton of RL crap and hadnt much time to dedicate to the scarecrow event going on in Koreshan... and since he didnt want me to feel left out.. he made a Trinitee Scarecrow head, with pigtails and smokey eyes (which im guessing is my avatars trademarks lol) So Noam.. thank you with all my heart for your help and compassion. I LOVE JOOO!!

This style was made for Sinjun Soyer.. our gorgeous and talented tattoo artist in Koreshan. You may have quite possibly heard of her store.. EtchD.. and if you haven't... you're missing out!!

Got a case of deja vu? Well you should because im pretty much gonna tell you what I told you in the last release post. :P So when I released the hair Caressa.. I told you I made new textures. Which is true.. however I only added a few colors and just tipped the existing ones. Wellllllllllll... I decided to scrap all those altogether and start from the ground up on NEW textures. Trying to keep the same colors as before, I opened up a new canvas and started to create a more universal set. My last textures I made several different ways and none lined up the same so it was just more work for me. I dunno bout you.. but anything that I've made that creates more work for me HAS to go. :P

So with all that said.. the textures are new and you now get 4 different hairs per pack. A Solid color, a frosted color, a darkened color (new) and a tipped color.

New Hair / New Textures: Caressa

2007-10-08T10:49:00.000-07:00

Got out not only a new hairstyle.. but lots of new and updated textures! Now instead of getting one style in your individual color packs, you'll get three. YAY there are at least three brand new colors as well as a few updates to existing colors cuz I felt they looked too 'flat'. There are now 19 colors and each pack comes with a regular, a black tipped and a blonde tipped. I got SOOO many requests for tipped hair but i had a hard time coming up with decent textures but i think i figured these out. :P A few new colors include a dark ash, sable and a strawberry blonde. The Dark Ash and Strawberry Blonde are shown in the ad above.

Finishing up on a new style so you will be hearing from me again VERY soon. :) Hope you're all well!

Blade Dress - Now Available

2007-10-01T10:38:00.001-07:00

Just a small update.. I released a set of dresses last night that come in 6 colors. I'm a little behind in making things since i've been working on costume(s) for halloween. I've also been in a slump where i've really not felt like making much. So after taking a short break, I now have a list of projects I want to make or have to finish up. This dress just happened to be one of the first that got completed.

I hope you like them! :D

New Hair: Angela

2007-09-15T11:16:00.000-07:00

Heyas!! To my surprise, I was able to throw together another hair style for your cute lil pixel heads. :D The latest style is named Angela and is a loose ponytail with lotsa loose strands as well as a thin voice activated color change head band.

Stop on by the main store in Koreshan for a demo. Hope you all like it and are enjoying your Second Life!

<3 Trin

New Hairs! weeee

2007-09-08T20:51:00.000-07:00

I was going to take a little break from content creation but it seemed a lot of designers have been taking one and I was going through newness withdrawal so I decided to make my own stuff of which i was gonna horde to myself.. but thought i'd share with you guys as well. So without further ado... the stuff:

Stacy: This style took on its own. It originally started with a whole different style of bangs and I wanted something somewhat messy.. but when I got around the head I looked at the bangs and made a change and Stacy was then birthed. These come in all the normal colors and i'm sorry to say there is no bonus style in the fat pack. I really don't know how many of you actually wanted a bonus style but for now i'm just going to be doing normal packs unless i feel a special bonus style would do good out of it. But i'm just out of 'clever' ideas on what to actually do to make one. :P

Veronica & Veronica II: These two are two styles because I really couldn't decide which way i wanted to keep the bangs. So I just made them both and am leaving it up to you guys to decide which one you like best. Always nice to have options eh? :P Again these come in the normal colors with the exception of the bonus style I tend to throw in the fat packs.

Each style comes with a demo so head on over to Refuge and pick yours up today. Also while you're there.. don't forget to sign up for the Update Group which is utilized via Subscribe-O-Matic. Just one touch is all you need to be added to the group. I still promised an exclusive item to the members of that group.. and one WILL be coming as soon as the old Update group gets deleted.. which is in 12 days from today!

Hope you're all enjoying your second life and I'll see you all out on the grid. :D

Refuge Update Group Switch

2007-08-19T13:01:00.000-07:00

Just a reminder.. the update group has switched over to the Subscribe-O-Matic. My decision for the change was to free up group spots as well as a more reliable way of sending messages out to the group. The way SL has been lately I have been having a ton of problems getting my updates out and that really sucks. Also I dunno about you.. but trying to find the right group to leave just to join an update group is silly. Many of us HAVE to be in these groups and if you can avoid it and STILL get updates then I say that's a win win situation any day. Besides.. I'm all for avoiding chat spam. Nothing drives me more insane than leaving an update group chat a quadrillion times. So stop by Refuge in Koreshan and click the update group sign next to the stairs and that's it! You're ready to get updates! I will have an exclusive out to the group soon so if you snooze.. ya loose. :D

Ask & Ye Shall Receive

2007-08-16T09:31:00.000-07:00

Last week I posted a poll in the blog and asked you to cast your vote as to what you'd like to see more of coming out of Refuge and I'm soo glad you did! YAY Seems Womens clothing was next up on my 'to make' list so I buckled down and got bizzaayy! Today I bring to the table not one.. not two.. not three four or five.. but SIX new items. *faints* SO here we go!

First up on the list is the Ribbed Lace Cami. I've noticed I tend to make a lot of darker neutral colors so I decided to spice a few things up and add some subtle color without dominating the whole upper body. These are ribbed and all trimmed at the top with black lace and there are both shirt and jacket layers for each color. You can purchase them separately or as a fat pack.

While still in my 'i need more color' mode.. I popped out a wrapped vest with prim tie in the back. I seriously dunno why i made so many colors but i figured since I went ahead and uploaded them.. surely someone will like them. Each color comes with the solo vest and a version that includes an offish whiteish greyish tank under it.. if you're afraid to bare that midriff. :P

Thirdly, I put together a full outfit inspired by a RL photo I had which consists of leopard tight like pants and two tanks. One with a skull and the other with a fire/skull/guitar motif. I've been requested to make cuffs for these pants by the uberness, Satine so those will probably come out shortly if you're interested in prim cuffs for the pants. And whats funny is.. i just now realized that my poster says Separates on it and not Full Outfit. *smacks forehead* I'll fix that later. I'm at work. shhhhhhh

Now my fav. of the bunch.. This was originally gonna be a full outfit but I wanted to have more colors so I figured i'd let you all make you're own combinations. The cute girlie skull is emblemed on the tops on a jacket layer in 6 pastel colors... with 6 bold basic sporty shorts with prim ties and a worn out skully graphic on the left leg. But the part I like the most are the socks. I made two colors in two sizes. Originally I was going to make the strap to the sock a prim strap but when I was building it.. it just didn't look right so I quickly hit that delete button.

So that wraps up what I've been up to lately. Hope you're all doing well and enjoying your Second Life. :D

New Hair & New Store

2007-08-08T22:53:00.001-07:00

Ok well it's not so much new.. but its remodeled and up over at Koreshan :P

And something new to put in the new store... a new hairdo! Sinjun actual inspired and named this one. She wanted some hair that covered the eyes. So.. I did. Meagan has a scripted colored band so you can color coordinate with your outfits and it's pretty long.. but falls so pretty I think. :) Demos are available in the main store. :D

Your Vote Matters!

2007-08-08T14:56:00.000-07:00

Been going on back and forth with things to make and not to make for Refuge. So here is where you come in. What type of products to you want to see more of in the future Refuge releases? Your opinions mean a ton and will affect the products that come out of Refuge. So please take a moment of your time and vote on which type of product you would like more of.

Thank you!!

New Hair: Chloe

2007-07-31T08:00:00.000-07:00

With all SL's stoopidity... I managed to finish up this hair style i'd like to introduce as Chloe. :) This style has the bangs held back loosly with two little clippies and a high ponytail. As all other packs.. the faded red tipped bangs only comes in the fat pack.. So if you want a hair color that not a lot of people will be wearing.. then check out the pack. :)

Since TPs are sporadically working.. you can tp directly to refuge by Clicking Here.

Hope you're all having a fantastical week despite the issues out on the grid. :)

*huggles*

Shining Star @ Refuge

2007-07-26T09:10:00.000-07:00

Thats right.. vacation is over and back to slinging prims and textures around. Starr was released last night. This style has fringie bangs with two pig tails that fall just behind the shoulder and scripted bands for all your color coordinating needs. :D

New Release: Jayce

2007-07-12T09:12:00.001-07:00

New hair released today over at the main store in Koreshan. This style has a menu driven texture changer so you can change the textures of the bandana. Choose from 10+ patterns as well as just solid colors.

Included in the fat pack is a special style exclusive to the fat pack which in my honest opinion, is one of my fav. color combinations. Be sure to try on the demo!

Hairy Michelle

2007-07-05T20:33:00.000-07:00

Released a pigtail style hair at the main store in Koreshan. Comes in all the original 14 colors as well as a bonus black&blue combination in the all colors pack. These have scripted bands so you can coordinate with your outfits via voice. :)

Need A New Pair of Shoes?

2007-06-23T23:06:00.000-07:00

I wanted so badly to have a pair of chunky heeled converse-like heels in SL. At first I was overwhelmed with making a shoe for the first time ever since I'm still pretty much prim-illiterate. A few weeks went by and I put it off and was on the verge of asking Krius to make them for me.. but then decided that I'd never learn if I never tried. So I tried and actually made them. GO ME!! They are now available so humor me.. and go check em out. hehe

Split Personalities

2007-06-12T18:40:00.001-07:00

This release took me some time. Seems the last two episodes of Heroes brought out some uber style clothing. I've drooled over both Claire and Nikki/Jessica's wardrobe and when i finished Claire I went right to work on Saunders. Well.. it was either Saunders or Jessikki. :P Anywho... I finally finished and stuck it out on the shelves.. but let Jelly have a lil run around the grid in it first. haha But its done and its out and now i can start on the many other projects on my to do list.

Saunders includes, jacket, prim trench with flexi.. umm.. thingers in the back with an attached strappy hangy belt, (my grammar teacher in high school would kill me if she read this), pants, prim legs, prim cuffs, prim collar and the undershirt separately so you can go whack Sylar in the back of the head with a sign.

Claire & Shila are at Refuge

2007-06-02T20:13:00.001-07:00

I managed to get out two new products at Refuge this weekend. Hair and a full outfit.

The outfit titled "Claire" was inspired by ... yes you guessed it... Heroes! I saw Claire walking around in this jacket and I thought.. I want that! With Krius pushin out his Sylar I decided I better get my butt movin before someone else made it so the making process got pushed into gear. This outfit includes.. The top, the belt which is part of the lower jacket, pants, prim legs, cuffs, a collar and shoulder snappies. :D

The hair.. well it started out with way more bangs in the face being swept to the side.. but alphas just suck sometimes so I toned it down just a tad. I included in the fat pack a special one.. well it's special to me cuz I originally made it just for me. It has a few streaks of red in it.. but figured i'd share it with whoever decides they want the 'all color pack'.

So yea... Prims this week.. YAY!!

Hope you're all having a great weekend!

Uber Releases @ Refuge

2007-05-23T23:43:00.001-07:00

Ok get ready for this... a big release. *wipes sweat from brow* ALL Seperates this time. This release includes a pack of shirts, a tux like vest, a dude tee (sorry only one this time), and a lil top i modeled after one of my favorite RL shirts. Pictures speak louder than words in this case so here we gooooo....

Parsol: This release includes 7 colors in a polka dot and plain version. You get em both in the color of your choice. Choose from black, grey, red, green, blue purple, pink and and and... i think thats it. :P

Socialite: Yep, more jeans. In your choice of antique, blue and black. These also come with a dirty version. Of course the black and antique aren't as dramatic as the blue. I guess that's why we all like wearing a lot of black... Nobody can tell how dirty we are. :P

Vexed, Amplify & Rogue:
Vexed started out with me wanting to take pictures of the jeans without a jacket layer on. I realized I don't have very many tops that are shorter with the exception of licorice (which is still by far one of my favs) and I've been using it a lot lately. So i whipped up this little tux lookin vest. It didn't come out as good as i had hoped but it did the trick. I marked it down in price since im not completely satisfied with it. then again.. i'm picky. I also will be giving this out to my update group. So if you're not in it.. get in it and get free stuff. :P

Amplify: This top is my RL top. It's my fav in RL and is starting to become my fav in SL. This is a top that crosses in the front and angles back with lil flexi ruffles.

Rogue: This one was just fun. I wanted a cotton-like texture for the shirt and think i did a decent job in doing just that. The tribal markings were a lot of fun to twist and turn to create the design. Now i know i normally make Noam pose in my posters... but this rare occasion I totally forgot while he was on and couldn't get him to model the shirt.. so i found more eye candy for you guys to drool over. Dont worry ladies... I'll catch that sly cat next time so you can stare lovingly into his pixel eyes. :P

zOMG HAIRz!!

2007-05-13T23:17:00.001-07:00

I've done tortured myself enough for a week and have a hairstyle to show for it. I feel like i still need more practice at this so called hair creation thang. This style was inspired by MEEEE! haha seriously this is pretty much how I wear my hair in RL about 60% of the time. Therefore I thought it'd be a good challenge to get it into my SL. Created a helluva bunch of new textures for it. Some look better than others but thats to be expected. 14 textures to choose from. Since it's mothers day and I finally concluded the torture of the primfest.. I decided to name this first style after my mom. So there you have it... Sharon!

Convicted Motive

2007-05-01T10:13:00.000-07:00

Been trying to get into more prim work to get a bit acquainted with them so i dont fear them so terribly so I made a few more accessories. teehee

Convicted: I've had some fun with the handcuff necklace I thought it'd be fun to have a pair of handcuffs that look like they were pulled apart left to dangle on the wrists. SO .. these were born.

Motive: I made two different textured belts. The stitched one is my favorite but i also made a more flat black version if you just want black. I LOOOOVEEE fat lowrise belts so after a few months of just wanting one, I figured i'd get off my lazy but and give some a try. These have two thin buckles in the front with the flappy end of the strap. They dont size down very much but should scale up easily.

Project Open Letter

2007-04-30T12:45:00.001-07:00

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.

- Cristiano Midnight

New Accessories!!

2007-04-23T09:12:00.001-07:00

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

Refuge Releases More Stuffs Yo!

2007-04-20T13:47:00.000-07:00

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!

Refuge In Koreshan Is Open!

2007-04-20T13:46:00.000-07:00

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.

Refuge Releases For The Ladies

2007-03-18T13:51:00.000-07:00

Refuge Releases for Das Ladies (or men who like to wear womens clothes) I finally got off my lazy butt and finished a few things I had piling up in my inventory and released them over at Refuge. This release was all for the ladies. Sorry guys.. i need to brush up on my mens fashions.

Licorice: This top was designed after a request by my one and only Krius ♥. It's a pin striped corset top trimmed with a light touch of lace. Comes in aqua, steel, red, brown and black and you get em all!

Versed: This lil top comes with a undershirt version or a plain v neck version with a simple rose pattern and a sheen like finish to it. Very simple really yet looks great with jeans. :P

Suzy Skully: This top I've had sitting in my inventory since December. It was one of those projects that had it's issues and every time I went to fix it, i'd look at it, wrinkle my nose and pull it back in inventory. I wanted to make this for one of my really good friends Sue and REALLY wanted her to have it. So I sucked it up and got it to where I was happy with it.

The top has a pattern of skulls & cross bones on it and has prim puffy shoulder thingers. It's become one of my favorite tops in my store. :)

Last but not least... JEANS! I've started the separates line in January and had yet to include pants on the wall so I buried down and got a lil jeans pack going. More will be released in the future but for now the blues win. The pack includes three colors... Blue, Dirty & Blue washed. Lets face it folks.. jeans feel and look so much better when we've worn em for a week straight. Whats that? you don't do that?? <.< >.> uhh yeah me neither. :P

So yeah thats about it for now. Hope you likes!!

Refuge Released!

2007-02-20T13:50:00.000-08:00

Lotsa redoing of almost everything is finally done thanks to Krius crackin that whip and offering lovely incentives to finish. I've done the swap and swapped out Roxee with Refuge. Not only did I redo all posters.. I updated a lot of the current outfits AND even released two womens tops and two mens tops. So yea.. go check out the updates I've made to some of the older stuff... which also includes a face lift to one of the popular outfits Flutterby with even more colors. I'll let you guys go to the shop to see cuz im not gonna image flood the blog. :P

Whew .... next time I talk of rebranding.. shoot me!

Refuge Release: Adorned Necklace

2007-02-09T13:51:00.000-08:00

Tried my hand at makin some jewelery for VDay and before i rebrand my entire store I decided that I'd get this little project finished first. So here it is.. nothing fancy.. but just a lil something for that day of lurvin. :P

Roxee is now .... Refuge!

2007-02-08T13:52:00.000-08:00

Alright... time has come. I finally decided on a new name for my store/brand and finished the logo for it. :) Lemme know what you think! Im pretty stoked with it. It's not feminine.. it's not masculine.. it's not grunge.. it's universal and me likes.. not to mention it starts with R so I can keep the R&R with my Sissy-poo. :P I miss her. *sniffles*
