A retirement from design

Well it's been coming for some time now, I'v not been able to find the time to release anything new for quite awhile, and I'm not really finding my heart is there anymore. 6 years ago I began toiling in the Second Life fashion industry, first by making these beastly prim gowns that were the benchmark of fashion for their time - I was the second prim dress maker on the Grid, so our ability to achieve anything truly fashionable was hit or miss - more often miss; but for their time, enough to make you go "Oh, woooow!" And back then everything was an experiment!

My schedule itself has me booked at least until next summer. Between DiVAS and the new Celebrity show, not to mention the shows in development, plus the book I'm writing, and the photography book I'm shooting now, I need to take something off my plate and this is what needs to go.

SO! Here's whats happening for anyone interested - My store remains there. Everything in the store will remain at their last sale price to make the shop a more affordable alternative for newer resident without much money, but who want nice clothes than then the default. Every article in my store will remain $L50 Lindens, forever, come what may.

NOW - Onto "Celebrity"



The newest reality show in Second life is waiting for YOU! Go to this SLURL and drop in your photograph and notecards into a Celebrity Frame for your chance to be one of the 6 contestants! It will be tremendous fun, so go put yourself in the running!

This blog will remain for archival purposes but I can now be found over at http://www.phaylen.com where you can read about my adventures through the metaverse.

Thanks everyone for being so supportive and thoughtful in my Design exploration. I'm not saying I'll never make another thing if the mood moves me in the (far) future.. but my guarantee everything I make will be at a price point that is affordable to all residents at L$50 - as well as being high quality. I hope that makes an appropriate thank you to the residents in the platform who have given me the opportunity to share my creations with them, it has been nothing less than a joyful experience, and I'm very grateful.

Warmly,
Phaylen,
