Another reminder!

Posted by Siddean Munro on July 3rd, 2008

It’s getting close now - that is, the closing date of my photo competition.  Those huge prizes won’t come around often so get in now for your chance!  I hope you are working as hard on your entries as I am on getting my new store ready to open!!  I still want more entries.  More more more!! :D  Make it really, really tough for me to decide the winners!

In other news, I have quite a number of new items to be released when the store opens, as well as some stuff that has been sitting in my inventory for an age waiting for me to finish it and release it.  The new store is very different to the old, and I personally really like it.   Oh yeah, and I will be participating in the shoe fair this year as well, and am right now working on a new pair of shoes to make their debut at the fair.  If I get time, there might even be 2 new pairs!  :o

Also, My Flickr group Slinky Couture is open and ready for content!  Post yourselves wearing my products in that group and I will love you forever!  And maybe even send you presents!  And who doesn’t like getting presents?

Anyway…. PHOTO COMPETITION!  Doo eeeet!

And ‘cos I can, here is a gratuitious shot of Sidd, wearing ALL SLink!  The revamped Nadia Deuce hairstyle, the new sunglasses (both to be released when the sim opens), the WIP Isabelle skin with red lips (and tintable brows OMG!), the Leather Jacket, Katherine handbag and Paige Peeptoe Platforms in red, and skinny jeans in Original Blue.

This is a reminder to get me your entries for my Slinky Little Somethings photo competition  (details can be found here).  I have already received some gorgeous entries, and am looking forward seeing more creative photos!!

I am working hard on getting the new store ready, and will have several new items to be released, as well as a number of fabulous freebies to be collected in the days following the opening :D

The image below is a piece of art I created for the shoe wing of my new store.  I am wearing the soon to be released Isabelle skin line, with new face and ears, and improved body shading, also wearing the recently released Paige Peeptoe shoe in red.

Drowning in an avalanche of shoes!

Posted by Siddean Munro on June 6th, 2008

Wow that was a mammoth effort, a labour of love, sculpting, building, fitting, making textures, taking photograps (O how I love thee, invisiprim script!) and putting the ads together for 72 pairs of shoes!!  That’s right.  I had 4 styles a couple of days ago, now I have 6 new styles, and there are 12 colours of each style.

I won’t put all the images here, I’ll just place one of each style.  To see the rest and pick up the $0L demos, come to my mainstore in CG Heart.

This is Paige.  A range of shoes and boots (still in development) with and without platform soles.  The stilettos are high, the platforms are even higher, making a sleek, elegant and sexy ankle and foot!  Individual colours of each style are $200L, and the packs of 12 are $1200L which is excellent value at half the individual price! More colours available on request.

A shoe teaser

Posted by Siddean Munro on June 4th, 2008

I love doing teaser posts!  I hate it when my host messes up my blog so I can’t do teaser posts!  Anyway, this is a teaser for what I have been working on the last 2 days.  I am a ball of inspiration at the moment!  The final product will be slightly different to those shown here as I refine them, there will be a non-platform version of the T Strap sandals, and there are 12 colours planned for each style.  They are due out in the next 24 hours.  Watch this space!

Paige…

Shoes, glorious shoes!

Posted by Siddean Munro on May 29th, 2008

I have two lovely styles of shoes in store today, both styles perfect for a hot summery day, (which ironically, is not what is happening in my RL right now.  Cold, wet, dreary weather! :o )  Now available at my mainstore in CG Heart

First up we have Claudia, a smart and sassy ballet flat, with a gently rounded toe and a little bow decorating the front of the shoe.  Underneath you will find a little round heel, and the SLink logo is imprinted into the sole.  These shoes come in 18 colour combinations, but if you want something specific, I am more than happy to oblige, just ask :)   Claudia is $200 a pair, and the fatpack is $1800L

Roxy is a more formal open-toe high heeled mule style in 12 colour options, but again, more colours can be requested if desired.  $200L a pair or $1200L for the fatpack.

Another schneaky sneak preview!

Posted by Siddean Munro on May 26th, 2008

This is what I am working on at the moment.  They are so cute, and not an invisiprim in sight!  Released soon, watch this space. :)

Cold hands, warm heart. New releases in store today :)

Posted by Siddean Munro on May 21st, 2008

Today we have a lovely fun summer dress perfect for the warmer months.  My friend Phoe was searching for the perfect summer dress for an upcoming magazine article so I suggested I might be able to make something for her, so she sent me a couple of ideas for style and pattern, and this little frock is the result!  It comes in at $200L and has a few options.  The bodice has a system layer, or a sculpted bodice option, and the dress comes in either the babydoll, or normal waisted dress style.  The sculpted bodice includes 3 bust sizes, small medium and large for different bosoms, but you might have to adjust your shape a little to fit :)  Please IM me for fitting assistance!

Also in today, there is a new hairstyle called Julia.  It’s a cute little summery short ‘do, with gently sweeping bangs and lots of perky flippy pieces in the back!  This is almost exactly the same as I wear my hair in RL, tho it needs a cut right now :)  Julia comes in 32 colours, sold as 4 packs of 8 for $450L per pack :)

Both these new items are now available in my store at CG Heart

Incase anyone is wondering, the skin shown in these ads is something I am working on at the moment - called Piper :)  Soon to be released, watch this space!

KITTIES!

Posted by Siddean Munro on May 17th, 2008

I want to introduce you to the newest members of my family, Cleo, the white one who is happily chasing my keyboard cable around my desk, and Cloe, the grey one, who is ’sploring my husband’s monitor stands!   When we went to collect them, we were determined to get a girl, and were only going to get one, but unfortunately, I picked up Cleo, and my hubby picked up Cloe, and then we chouldn’t decide!!  So darnit we had to have both.

Unlike Phoe’s new kittens, names for these little ones came easily.  Cleo is the name of my beloved EQ2 character and Cloe has a nice symmetry to it.  They are 6 weeks old and teh cutes!  :D  Oh but we have a battle against fleas for a bit though, they came from a shelter, and are absolutely infested :(

Camera’s gonna get a workout :D

cleo-and-cloe.jpg

aaaaand another new hairstyle in today!

Posted by Siddean Munro on May 11th, 2008

This one is called Maya, inspired by a colleague of mine with the same name.  This style is a loose bun held smooth with 2 elastic bands around the head.  A very cute and non-formal style.

I have restructured the boxes for the 2 latest styles and will be doing the same for the older styles as well.  Now you can buy the demo for 0l by clicking on the main box, and you can buy packs of 8 colours in a theme for $450L, which I think is excellent value!

Try on the demo now at  CG Heart
