New store!

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Yay! Hi there latex friends! Yes, I’m still alive in good health!

It has been silent around here… and with a reason (apart from a bloody busy rl..). As some of you may know already, I recently bought an island together with Tillie. On this island we will both build our own new store and more. Here is a sneak peek of my store! As you can see, the store isn’t in a sky box anymore!

The build of the new sotre in progress

As you can see the store itself still is a bit grey… I guess I’m almost ready to start editing the interior! I don’t know when the store is going to be open to the public.

In the mean while, work on new latex has started, but as you can probably guess, creating this new latex isn’t done at light speed. I hope to post some images of my new designs on my Flickr stream! I’ll promise to post more frequently from now on ;)

Take care and see you soon!

Latex in Second Life

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

As a clothing designer I am making latex items for some time now and if you know my work, you now know that I like to expiriment in materials and in different types of outfits. The very first items I made were non-latex lingerie items (the Thess and Suze sets). They didn’t sell very well, but making them I learned the most stuff I still use to make designs.

The items I make now vary from fetishy and bdsm outfits like the new (yet to be released) Expo 3.0 outfit to the cheerful summer style minidress (which isn’t released either hehe) to the lace / latex combinations in stylish lingerie items like the Ilya and Vox series.

I love to do it all, not only because there is an infinte number of possibilities and ideas for new sets. I also love to show ppl that latex items can be more than only fetish, or only bdsm (only to be worn in the bdsm-dungeon). A lot of people who never thought they would be wearing latex left my store with one or more items which they wear to a party or during a more private moment with their lover(s).

For all you latex enthousiasts (even if wearing latex is not a complete lifestyle for you), there is the SL-Latex group in Second life. Feel free to join and meet fellow latex minded people, models, photographers and more to talk to, exchange landmarks and links etc…! If you are on Flickr and you have nice Second Life and latex related pictures, post them in the SL-latex group! Me and Ellen hope to see you in upcoming events in Second Life and we’ll be seeing your pictures on Flickr!

Hugo’s week of releases

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

Last thursday Hugo’s week of releases came to an end. I sent out a notice to my groupmembers and to the Fashcon network. I hope it has gotten out… I didn’t get it myself (yet). However… It was busy in the shop, so that means a lot of people did! Again this release was a succes and I want to thank my models Ellen and Tillie for making the latex sets look so great on the vendor posters!

So… What are the next plans? I expanded my current shop for the last time… I used the maximum in space and now I can add products until I run out of prims… It can probably last two or three more updates before I need to start thinking about a new one. I guess that will be in the end of this year.

I will also work on photography and illustration some more, and I’ll be working with Ellen and Latexia on that. I’m really looking forward to working on that, there has been very little time to do so in the past weeks. SweetJessy will most definately star on new pictures too!

Then there will be new sets too! I can already let you know that new designs are on the way. The main thing I am thinking about right now is which way to go. Right now I’m making fetish suits on one hand (like the expo sets) and on the other hand there are the more classy lingerie sets like the Ilya and Vox sets. For now I guess i’ll be making all kind of sets sonce all is selling really well. I’m also thinking about an occasional space suit and knowing myself, i’ll mix the three genres up again to come to more new idea’s…

As always, If you think you have a great idea for a new set and you’d like me to see if I can and want to make a real ‘hugo’ out if it, let me know! Both the Viktoria and Expo 2 set were made after a friend showed me a picture…

Busy

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

To people who come to me with questions about blogging I always preach tell that most important is… above all… what you should absolutely do is have continuity. Write an item once a week, or you will loose the people that stop by regularly to see what you are up to. Write! No matter how busy you are…….

Well… I’m kind of breaking my own iron rule here since the last post is from somewhere last month. I really didn’t sit still, so here is a little update. I’m at work now so no pictures at hand a.t.m. Two weeks ago I did another fashcon / group release of new items and reactions and sales have been really great. Thank you all for the great support and nice IM’s and reactions!

I’m going to pick up photography again and opened yet a third Flickr stream… this one will be restricted from the start. The images up there will be sl-photo expiriments in- and exploration of the latex fetish area with Latexia and Ellen as my main models. No real heavy stuff… however, a lot of latex and some nudity can be expected… When all is set, i’ll place the link to this stream here.

New plans for this blog/website are small: apart from putting the new items into my fashion database I will create model pages for the beauties that model for me so you know who is who…

Next to that I really hope to find some time to make new latex sets! My main addiction needs that fix(!!!)

More news soon ;)

Almost in the shop!

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

A lot has happened since I last wrote my last entry here. You may have noticed that the picture under ‘latest fashion post in Flickr’ is missing… This is because Flickr set my fashion account to ‘restricted’ which means that you need to be logged into the Flickr website to see the pictures. This is the second time my items / pictures are sencored… and in all honesty, again it is my mistake. I applied the filters too loosely. Again the only thing which got me kind of pissed is the fact that you don’t get a warning before something like this happens. I would have gladly (re)set the filters myself, keeping my account open for everyone… I’ll keep posting my designs there, only for my contacts to see…

Then some good news: Yesterday Sunshine Kukulcan surprised me with a blogpost about my Second Life shop! How cool!!

And I’m saying it for some time now, new items are on the way. I just want everything to be spot on when I start releasing all new items. New will also be notices send out with new releases. I’ll be sending notices through my ow update group (let me know if you want to be on it, just send me an IM or click the ‘add to group’ box in my main shop! Next to my own update group, notices will be sent through the Fashcon.com network!

Soo… what will be the new latex items for the upcomming weeks? here are some…. you’ll find new color versions of the basic catsuit ‘Cat’. I’m starting off with a red and white one. There also will be new color versions the Solar corset (and yes you guessed right, I’ll start off with a red and white one). Next to that there will be a new catsuit: ‘Cat 2′ this is a new sheer catsuit with- and without seams. I’m starting those with sheer black and white ones and a translucent one. Other colors will follow. There is a new corset which I called ‘Solar 2′ for now… not sure about that name yet. Ava 4 (see previous post) will finally come (combined with a pair of chaps, possibly the kinkiest release so far.. hehe). And there will be more shirts and outfits.. here are some first look pictures (sometimes combining the unfinished sets):
