Razorblade earrings

One may infer things from the fact I put these out on Thanksgiving (even if I didn't finish), but really, I've had them in my inventory for a while and just haven't taken the ads. Because I suck.



But anyway! In shops (La Reina, Area 51, and Le Cadre'), and OnRez.

(Hair is...Double Daisy by Calla, I believe. I keep losing my notes.)

Change

I've decided I do really prefer the dialogs on touch. I was a bit hesitant- they do annoy me when they get too much in the way and you accidentally click on them, but most of what I make currently it pretty small and you really have to intend to click on it. Besides, I wore that Gritty Kitty witch hat for a while before Hallowe'en, and it actually didn't get to me nearly as much as I would have thought.

I'm (SLOWLY!) converting older things over. I haven't redone any of the ads for anything yet! But the monocle and the keys (Flewksbriar and Heortecaeg) should now be the other system everywhere, and there's a note about it in the mouseover text on the boxes in shops.

If you have an old version, simply IM me and let me know you'd like to trade! I don't mind! I _may_ pester everyone in my transaction history when I've gotten everything converted (I haven't touched the Cathedral stuff or Digital Alchemy yet, so it's still going to take me a bit to get there far- and I need to redo all the ads to reflect the change as well, since they don't have the extra metals either [the keys now also come in the two shades of pink too! I'm telling you, Gogo is a bad influence!]). I'm pretty sure I have finally decided on The Way I'm going to do things, so I would be more willing to annoy people- they really don't need to be getting weekly IMs as I change my mind on how to do things.

Yes, I really am that bad.

La Reina Crowns

This is something else I've had around a while (quite a bit longer than the coffin ring) and I've been putting off the colour changing coding...and then the ads. Sometimes I'm all "I know exactly what I want to do with this!" but mostly I drag my feet because I'm just not feeling it, and don't know how to get across everything I want to in the space allowed (these are kind of busy to me...but I dunno, I kind of like them anyway). Anyway. Named after my main store in La Reina! Currently available elsewhere as well, but eventually will only be purchasable in La Reina (and maaaaayyyybe OnRez too, since I'll probably not take it out of the box- crown, earrings). A crown for wearing on your head, and a pair for wearing on your ears. A dialog menu comes up on touch with the colour options- I'll probably change everything over to this system, as it doesn't require remembering what all the options are. Because, um, the crown kinda has a lot.





(Crown credits: Dress is the Halloween Lolly dress in purple from LVS&Co; hair is Wilted Rose Valentina, and the list down the side is a few by Calla (Lichen in the middle I'm pretty sure), and ETD Airy at the bottom, and I can't find where I wrote them all down and my nose is running so I'll figure it out later. The earrings just have hair I don't know whether I'll ever sell, and as usual I'm in my skin that I most likely never will as I doubt it runs to most people's tastes, and I'm fine with that. The pink is all Gogo's fault!)

And you know, I haven't played Portal yet, but I know the cake is a lie, and the only thing you've managed to break so far is my heart. Also, I've been listening to this song over and over because it was only a matter of time before someone made an electro/techno song of Portal, and this one is really good.

Edit: The beautiful Gogo has posted a few pictures to Flickr with a few of the crown variations:
