Ack!
Please forgive, fashionplanet, this was posted to the wrong journal. Not fashion related, but nuts and bolts useful (if interested, moved here, where it belonged in the first place).

NosferCoat and Stockings!
Firstly: There is new freebie distributing funess in the La Reina location! The stocking follows in the tradition of the bucket: you carry it around, and anyone can touch it to be given a little present. It gives out candy, some coal for the naughty boys and girls, and, my favourite, antlers:
(Animal photos taken in Le Zoo, because I've always wanted to put on animal bits and pose with the real ones. The antlers come in a variety of variations, and the antlers themselves also come in brown.)
Choose the colour scheme you would like by touching the one of your choice hanging off the big table. The ones you'll carry about have a stuffed toy and candy sticking out of them, but I'm already scandalously abusing my prim limit for the store as is.
Secondly: I was feeling psychosomatically cold for poor Alle, walking around with bare arms, so my very first coat, and, in fact, very first clothing released other than the logo tank top, is out! The NosferCoat is inspired by the coat worn by Count Orlok in Nosferatu (the 1922 version, of course), and comes in 5 colours, available separately, or in a fatpack:
The lovely Nivaya Barbosa and Subversive Writer were kind enough to do some modelling for me. Subversive is wearing a wonderful shirt from BareRose, Al, on the end in the Sepia is wearing the Sweeney Todd shirt, a group gift from silent sparrow (it's a gorgeous set) and hair by TRUTH, and Niv is far far too stylish for me to keep up with.
The stocking, as well as the presents under the tree that have been known to gather fellows upon occasion, are only at the La Reina location. The coat is also available in Area 51, and, as soon as I do some prim juggling, in Le Cadre'. Additionally, it will soon be up on onRez, for gifting.

8 Random Facts: because everyone is doing it
Melanie tagged me to do this thingie. And I'd better do it now before it falls out of my head.
Here are the rules:
(1) Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
(2) People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
(3) At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
(4) Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
I am skipping steps 3 and 4. Because I barely know 8 people in SL, and...Mel's just about the only one with a blog, I think!
1) I tend to be pathologically shy, except when I'm a) a chatterbox, or b) a snarky bitch. Allegory brings the snarky bitch out in me. I'm also semi terrified of talking to people I don't know, and, well, that explains the "hmmm...do I even know 8 people in SL?"
2) Allegory's favourite colour is green, but mine is purple. We both generally sport hair of our respectives (I haven't had my natural haircolour in a decade or so). We also have different totem animals.
3) I generally don't do these spammy going around things =p. But I'm doing this one for Mel! Don't expect it to happen again!
4) I've been written up in medical journals for a wacky condition (no, it's not actually interesting, nor is it particularly disgusting. It's just sort of odd) I had that plagued me growing up. (It's also indirectly responsible for me being sick for almost 2 months this year.)
5) I used to become obsessed with bizarre things every few years when I was growing up. I've forgotten most of what I knew, but at different times, I knew just about everything you could find out without a degree about ancient Egypt, Greco-Roman mythology, medieval alchemy, dinosaurs, and astronomy (yes, I was a very bookish child). And possibly other things I've forgotten at the moment. I no longer get quite so immersive, and tend to juggle multiple obsessions at a time.
6) I have a reeeeally bad memory. I will just totally forget things constantly, including forgetting what I was in the middle of doing all. the. time. On the other hand, I will remember things people have told me for years afterwards when they've forgotten them entirely.
7) I lose things, and look where I think they are. And look again. And look another couple of times. And then, eventually, they are actually there. No, I don't know how this fits into a worldview wherein it is not that case that God plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players (ie. everybody), to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.
8) The quote at the end of the last one should clue you in, I'M A GREAT BIG NERD.

Santa hat
News in the land of La Reina:
New ZOMGPURPLE store with the same footprint as the old. It's sort of ridiculous in certain ways, but I love it so.
New (sculpted) santa hat put out tonight. I haven't done ads for it- instead they are sitting out in the store so you can play with the colour changing (poke bits for the menu- trim: white, grey, black, and red for Sub's inverted Santa; hat: red, green, blue, purple, pink, white, and black). Sit in the chair and it sortofvaguely hovers where it would on your head. One of the ones out is copy/no trans, the other is trans/no copy, for your permissions pleasure. (The real versions will only pay attention to your poking, store models are modded to listen to others...so long as I didn't flub the code, since I can't test it, being the owner!)
Also I've done a little bit of Xmas decorating. Pink sandman, er, snowman, by the door has a very ridonculous pose in it (poke him to hang out with him), the lights around the store can also be changed by more poking, and there's a tree in the middle of the store that will be accumulating presents. So far only the his and hers sets of Helios are out- if you got them in the treasure hunt, swing by for new versions anyway, these are mod enabled as they were always supposed to be.

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:
Closeups:
She also has a number of pictures with it out and about, including this one:
