New latex is coming!

Monday, July 21st, 2008

As you all know (or not know) It has been a bussy time for me… Last weekend I finally managed to pull away from my busy rl and focus on some new designs (so in other words, go from a busy rl to an even bussier sl ;)) I’m lucky sl (and creating content for sl) is still a great hobby for me!

The new stuff then which can soon be found in my store, here are some pictures (for those active on Flickr these may not be a surprise…)

Hugos design - Viktoria Hugos design - Ilya 3 Hugos design - Expo Light

Hugos design - Liv Hugos design - Vox

The first one is Viktoria, mentioned in my previous post. Next to that is a third addition to the Ilya family (so it’s name will probably be Ilya 3). Next to that one is an already very popular suit called Expo Light. It is some sort of inverse body which is great when combined with other items like the bikiniset or the sheer catsuit. I am thinking about making a baked version of the sheer catsuit / Expo combination for those who  only want to wear it like that… Then there is the new freebie or dollarbie set, a nice latex shirt with panties in three colors for only 1 L$! (My name is in the print on the shirt ;)). The last set is a ‘basic’ lingerie set Hugo style. It has all the parts: bra, pabties, garters, gloves, stockings and a corset. There will be more color combinations! this set also looks great when combined with Expo light!

I’m currently thinking about keeping my stuff on SLexchange and Onrez… It’s a lot of extra work and sales aren’t that great. Another thing that bugs me is that ppl sometimes give a really low rating to one of the sets on there. I can’t see why they did it and when these ppl do not contact me, there is nothing I can do to help out a dissapointed costumer. All that remains is a low rated product which will probably sell worse… So I lay down my question before you! What do you think about this? Do you use these websites, and should I be on there?

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 ;)

Fashcon and new items

Monday, May 19th, 2008

It has been a busy week! Not only did a number of new items end up in the shop, I sent out the first group-notice in the Hugo’s design group. I also sent out my first Fashcon notice. For those of you who don’t know what Fashcon is, look at the website. In short it is a large network for fashion addicts and designers. Designers can post an update once a week. This is for all kind of fashion, so not only fetish stuff like most of my items… New notices are on the way!

I have been working on my website some more recently. All is working the way I want it to, now all I need is to make the fashion section look good… you can browse my items by outfit type. All items have full information included and a link to SLexchange and Onrez so you can buy them there if you like. Only thing that still needs to be enabled is the ‘related items’. More about that in an upcoming post.

New items that actually have been released in the store are:

  • the luxon corset, black / red
  • the luxon corset, black / white
  • the luxon corset, black / red - Cat black combination
  • the luxon corset, black / white - Cat black combination
  • Cat 2 black 70 percent sheer catsuit with and without seams
  • Cat 2 black 20 percent sheer catsuit with and without seams
  • Shirt - Funk in six colors

Next to these items I was able to add three new items yesterday too ( a notice will be sent out today or tomorrow)

  • Solar corset - white
  • Cat white, white latex catsuit
  • Solar white / Cat white combination

One item I didn’t manage to get into the shop is the purple version of the Solar corset. That will probably happen tonight. Here are all Vendor posters so you can see the items a bit better… The Solar white etc… pictures will follow later…

Progress on the website

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Slowly things are coming together. This is the new website design. It isn’t completely finished, I will continue to work on it in the upcoming weeks… The old website is now completely offline… The product pages in the old website will return soon, in this new lay-out. The menu on the right is very empty now, it will be filled soon. Two main items you will be sure to see soon are ‘photography’ and something like ‘fashion’. The first one for my Flickr photography and I will put the models section back here too. The fashion part of the website will show all my items witch are for sale with links to slexchange and onrez.

For those who like to know how all works… The blog is powered by wordpress which I built my own theme for. The rest of the website will be powered by Drupal. This is done because the blog was allready built in wordpress, and I didn’t want to move all content. Drupal on the other hand, is better suited to handle the product catalogue you will see here in the near future…

Clothing news? There is some… New corsets are on the way, some new shirts and I’m working an lots more :) Subscribe to my blog and you’ll know when you can stop by at my shop!

website progress

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Yes! All is going to plan. The new part of the website is almost finished. To you, dear visitor, all should look normal when I am finished. On the technique side of it all, a lot has changed. I’ve integrated the really cool Drupal CMS to make adding new items to this website a lot easier. (Yes I know… only a nerd or web designer will use the words ‘cool’ and ‘cms’ in one sentence…)

You can already get a preview if you follow this link. I can now tag my items too, so I can add materials and clothing types… If you want to look for a shirt, click ’shirt from the ‘categories’ menu. If you want to pick a material… Let’s say… er… let me think here…. latex for instance… you can pick latex from the materials menu!

Stellar set 1Stellar set 2Stellar set 3

Speaking of which… here are three new items, available in-world and on onrez and slechange. The sets are three sets of the same set: Stellar. The first set contains the bikini set, second set contains the (awesome) very detailed corset and panties. The third set contains the corset and a pair of matching pants (and panties and gloves). The sets on these pictures are worn by the lovely model Tillie Ariantho.

And finally I managed to install a teleport device on the ground to the store!!! So, when you want to go to the store in-world, al you have to do is follow the SLurl!
