Silhouettes And Other Goings On

Well I was back to a full week on Lavender Isle and I didn’t have a lot of free time. Lots of happenings and work to do. Here’s a recap of what’s going on.

We’re having a fashion on July 18 at 5PM called “Silhouettes in the Dark”. It’ll feature 24 outfits with 8 models. Models and pageantry courtesy of Jojo Cusack and Gypsy Wave. Her partner Tsunami Rickenbacker will MC. Click the poster to for more details.

I built a new catwalk, fashion show area along the walkway to the beach. I kind of copied the set for a show I saw in rl. I think it looks pretty amazing.

Partly because of the fashion show, and partly because I have a bunch of energy, I’ve been making quite a few outfits lately. I’ve stored them in inventory and will be releasing them periodically. There are some new items for sale at AFS, So Intimate and Island Jewelry.

Vienna James was in a car accident and had to cancel her gig at Gia’s, but Onehempcat Oldrich offered to fill in and did a marvelous job. He’ll be back at Gia’s this week. He’s an awesome guitar player so please check him out. Also, someone in attendance will be nominated for In Vogue Fan of the Week. You have to be there to be nominated.

Tracy Serra, our resident Gia’s hostess has taken on the position of “Curator” for Gia’s Second Life Music Hall of Fame. She’s an amazing photographer so you know there will be some amazing pictures. She’s got a free hand to do what she likes in there and I’m expecting some creative things. She’s got a very imaginative mind. She also rented some land on Lavender Isle and moved her holodeck there. Welcome home Tracy!

Our very own VP Trella McMahon has been busy as well. Aside from her usual duties in marketing and booking live acts for Gia’s, she’s also been working with Cherry Creek to develop their sim and organize their horse show. She also rented two shops on Lavender Isle selling shoes, hair and a few other things. She’s gotten into hair and shoes lately which is good because we need a shoe and hair store on the Isle. Trella is also runner InWorld Magic Music Management providing services to live performers. Slow down girl. Hehe.

Trella and I added some inner tubes to the water system within Lavender Isle. At the marina, you can click to rez an inner tube and the float around the waterways taking in the sights of the island. I need to improve the waterway system just a tad. You can float from the marina, along the ocean to Heying Drive then right down to Gia’s. Unfortunately you can’t access the waterway on Lavender Drive between the shops, but I’ll make that possible soon. I’d like to be able to go right around the island on the tubes. It’s a great way to travel, with movement and sound. Try it out.

Mutley has taken up residence beside the Lavender Office. She doesn’t need much space, but it looks pretty good. She doesn’t seem to think so, but she’s quite the builder. We have to develop that talent.

Since buying Lavender Isle, I put up my entire mainland for sale. The three properties in Camembert have sold leaving Slipp (4-4096’s), Wrasse (6144 & 1024) as the only mainland I have left.

I’m keeping quite busy with getting ready for the fashion show. I have the outfits ready and done a poster. Now I have to concentrate on getting the word out. I’ll be checking out some promotion firms to see what they can do. I’d like to get a press release out to all the fashion people in sl. As well I have to put together some gifts for a gift bag to give out at the show. Any ideas?

Traffic is good, sales are up and there’s lots of activity on Lavender Isle. There are so many things to see and do, so here’s an updated list of what’s there.
