The Old is New Again

Heya, everyone!

A while back I said I had plans to revamp some of my older wares with newer mesh versions. I got started on that project a few days ago, and I decided to start with the one I figured would be the hardest: the Gothic Piercings set. But once I got started it went a lot smoother than expected, and I'm very pleased with the results.


And now I'm happy to announce that the new Gothic Piercing sets are ready to go, exactly one year after their original release. All the colors (amethyst, emerald, ruby and sapphire) have been meshed up and repackaged. The four separate pieces and the Pretty Face packs are available on the store floor in place of the old, and all the Marketplace listings are redone.





(Click an image for its Marketplace listing, then follow the Related Items links for the rest of the pieces and packs) 

As an added bonus, I've also rereleased the mania prize version (turquoise) and slipped a second board up next to the piercings (the Velvet Empress is still available in the first board, with a slightly lowered target). The board will be up for the rest of July, when I hope to have most of the rebranding done and the new store in place.


There are a few other items I plan on giving the mesh treatment, as well as other new releases on the drawing board, so stay tuned for future updates.

Stay Beautiful,

No Kings or Tyrants

Happy 4th, everyone!

With the coming of another American Independence Day, @->~ISD brings you a bit of good-ol' fashioned patriotism and a bit of good-ol' fashioned royalty.

The rebranding is going at a slow but steady pace. I've already started to implement some of the changes in the existing shop, so that everything will go as smooth as possible when I drop in the new store.

One of the changes coming is an in-world group. There will be a small fee to join, but in return members will enjoy a discount on most in-world purchases, exclusive Midnight Mania and Lucky Chair prizes and group gifts. The group isn't open to the public yet, but there will be an announcement when it is.

Focusing on the rebranding, I'm not participating in any July hunts, but there's still some new items and events going on, with a new gift and new dollarbies available.

First off is the return of Flux, a monthly themed bazaar featuring dozens of great merchants. I'm thrilled to be a part of it, and hope to participate in the months to come, seeing what I can come up with to fit the themes. This being July, the month's theme is Americana. While I strayed away from Goth for this one, my offering touches a bit on my punk side.

Two wearable demos, one for each style vest, are available at the @->~ISD Flux room for 1L. 'Wearable demo', in this case, means a 'demo' of the product that doesn't have any lettered textures or floating signs saying that it's a demo product. You get a vest that lets you preview how it fits on you before buying the event item, and you can keep wearing it. Double win!

The His and Her Faded Glory Vests are only available at the Flux Bazaar, from July 4th to the 28th. Grab a taxi from the link above, or visit the store and click the sign on the New Releases board for a landmark.

Also new in the store this month is the first of hopefully many new mesh clothing releases: the Velvet Empress.
The outfit comes in four colors (crimson, midnight, nightshade and sable) and as pack of four, available both in-world and on the Marketplace. The skirt is rigged mesh in seven sizes, and the clothing layer corset top comes with a Lolas Tango applicator. The fifth color, Wine, is available on the brand new shiny Midnight Mania board in the store with a low target.

More updates to come, including new and updated items and further details on the rebranding and store group. Until then, Stay Beautiful.
