New Store Rant

Firstly: Look it's Hazel and I in the new store! Finally, things come together!


One thing they don't tell you in the "Girls Who Want to Become SL® Fashion Designers" handbook is that image is everything! I think it's even more true in Second Life. While in real life we see the most beautiful people...in magazines, tv, movies etc... in Second Life EVERYONE is beautiful. Thus, if your avatar has fecked up thighs or non-prim hair..we notice. And, we also notice in the way stores are set up! The most well known, designer stores of SecondLife® seem to have the nicest stores! I can't imagine what they pay to have rl/SL® contractors come and build their area to sell their product, but I can guarantee it's probably more linden than I make in 6 weeks of being in France off SL®! Thus, you don't just need capital and land to start your own Fashion Biz on SL®, you also need...classiness and building capabilities. It's not just about making tiny prim necklaces and flexi dresses, you need to be able to build the classiest store to sell your sassy and floofy dresses.

Anyway, we finally built it. Talisman 4.0? The History of Talisman...
Talisman 1.0: Hazel sold flexi dresses from the back of her car club. Sam joins the team
Talisman 2.0: New store built, purple walls. Lili becomes Hazel's sidekick partner and makes clothes under ^V^Omen^V^; Sam brings her b/f Ladi from Holland.
Talisman 3.0: Hazel's next store includes a fountain full of sharks and a bigger catwalk. Sam & Ladi bring more Flying Dutchmen (Keynir and Mijn)
Talisman 4.0: Talisman drops its ghetto exterior and now looks like a classy joint and less like, a Walmart. Now we have a place as classy as Hazel and I. It only took: 3 weeks, uncountable Lindens (cost/loss), chocolate floors, a potential sphinx, firing of incompetants, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Now all I need to do is like, make shit for the store.... yeah...photoshop...here I come?
