| Group Presents - Free hair & a free skin! |
I sent these out to the in-world group last week, and tried to send it out to the SoM group members too, but my controller bit the dust and I had some issues with it. But that's all fixed now, so I'm resending it!
In the box is an unreleased skin. It's a makeup I did for myself that I haven't released yet. I wore it in the RFL ads - so here's what it looks like:
There is also a Lily's Favorites pack of the new release style Ash. That has 5 colors in it, Auburns (Cherry Wood), Brunettes II (Mocha), Dirty Blondes (Honey), Dreams (Honey Brunette Highlights), and Reds (Golden Red).
Go touch the kiosk located at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Calla Lily/149/156/38 and view the history to get the gift! It's not staying there forever, so grab it quick!Labels: Ash, Free, Freebies, Gifts, Group, Skins, Sneak Peek

| Hunt Extendend, Group Freebie, RFL, and Lily's MIA! |
Due to borkage and quite a number of reports of people losing the hunt items, I'm going to extend the hunt until Tuesday morning. I'll go around and gather up the boxes early am Eastern (probably 4am SLT) so you have a little while longer to pick them up if you lost them or haven't been able to get over there. Apparently someone has made and been handing out a handy-dandy note card with all the box locations. I'm kinda glad, cause now I'll be able to find them. Head on over if you haven't yet! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Calla%20Lily/128/110/35Also due to my own borkage when coloring, I've sent out the Willow-herb style in the LTD Editions colors to the Calla Update Group and the Calla Subscribe-O-Matic group. If you haven't joined, you can go over to the store and touch the kiosk. I will be taking them out of the past notices tomorrow as well, so hurry if you want to catch them. My RFL team raised 410,000 L$ last night! I want to thank all of you who came out to support the fundraiser, both with your bids and your spirits. There was quite a crowd! I must brag on my team a minute. We are the Designers in Seclusion team, and not only have we raised over $5,000 usd for the Relay in the last two months, most of my team members run full time businesses within Second Life as well. That's no small task, and I am so grateful for all the effort they have put into raising funds to fight cancer. They are an amazing group and I as Team Captain have had the immense honor and pleasure to work with them on a much deeper level and can assure you they are some of the best folks on the grid. So a huge thank you goes out to each of them as well! We're not done yet, though, so keep an eye out for more events from the DIS RFL team! On a personal note, I won't be around quite as much the next two days. My youngest daughter turns 5 tomorrow so there are birthday plans tomorrow evening, but I will be around most of the daytime. In case you haven't heard, I tore a ligament in my lower back about 2 1/2 months ago. It's making my life very difficult; I can't empty the dishwasher or move laundry or lug around hay and horse feed. I'm not able to do much of anything and have been given the pretty handicapped parking tag. This is a huge blow, especially given the fact that I'd do just about anything to be out riding right now. I've been in a constant state of a good steady 8 on the pain scale for a long time now. (I had to have an MRI on my RL birthday!) I go Wednesday for some kind of injection to numb the nerves in that area. It can take up to 18 months for a ligament to heal. They're going to explain it all and then do it so I'm not exactly sure what is entailed, or how long anything is supposed to take or what my limitations afterwards will be. So please, if you have customer issues, send me a note card and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can. Just know it may be a few days. If you need urgent help, you can contact Katoria Stevenson who is my new Store Manager, or Always Loveless who is also Calla Store Staff. If you purchased something and it didn't get delivered, please go touch the cash register at the front of the store to have it redelivered! Labels: ACS, Freebies, Group, RFL, RL Stuff, Treasure Hunts

| Eight new and Flickr! |
There's a Calla Flickr Group! Feel free to add your Calla pics there!
Now, on to the newness!
Artemisia - I have been hanging onto this one for a while now. A really long while. It's one of the ones that kind of grows on you. It bears a resemblance to Spanish Jasmine but the more I look at it, the less resemblance I see. Artemisia is more disheveled, more just-ran-your-hands-through-it (or someone else's hands were in it!) and haphazard. It's become one of my favorites.
Bellflower - This was actually a request from Simone. I really had fun doing this, and wanted it to have that sexy come-hither look without being totally overboard.
Buttercup II - The original Buttercup has gone to the discount section ages ago. But I still get a lot of requests for it, especially in more colors. Rather than resurrect the old one, I took it apart and gave it a makeover. It still has the same style bands, color change of course, and the same side-pulled look. It did get some sculpts though, and I'm pretty happy with the more natural look it has this time around. After a year and a half, it deserved the makeover!
Flax - This is one of the (if not the) first ones I did with sculpts that actually turned out the way I wanted it. It's a vintage, Barbie style ponytail with a tiny little metal headband at the base of the pony. There are also tiny little pearls that line the headband as an optional attachment in case you want to dress it up a little.
Lierre - This was a happy accident! I was attempting something else (again with the sculpts) and had just haphazardly placed a couple of sculpts near the side out of my way. When I cammed back around it was a total "Oh!" moment. There's also flexi in it to give it a natural sway.
Spindle-tree - This one is right on the edge. It's got a subtle "don't push me" undertone to the look, but it's still great for wearing to a corporate event. There's flexi added for movement to the style.
Willow-herb - I love this one! This one was also a request from Simone. She wanted something "Runway." After finding this and this one of Victoria Beckham I started playing with it. Simone gets credit for her "just use the apple sculpty" suggestion for the back of the hair. As you can see, it worked like a charm!
Yellow Tulip - Another one that wasn't what I'd planned when I started, this one came out really well anyway. This one also has sculpts in the ponytail to give it more of a realistic lay to the curls. The scrunchie at the pony base is color change.
As you'll notice, all of these releases have the Touch-to-Fit system. I will be incorporating it into all current styles over the next few weeks. I've had many requests for it, it just got pushed to a back burner with the rebuild and move.
I've really tried not to use a large amount of sculpts in my styles, and you'll likely never see more than a handful in any one style. I simply can't stand the "bubble-head" look. Sculpts are notoriously slow to rez, and seeing people walk around with big blobs for heads just makes the hair stylist in me cringe. But I'm really enjoying the little extra realism that can be created with a few well-placed sculpts. It's still a learning process for me and I hope I'll continue improving with them over time, but I'm really pleased with this start!
More coming soon about the re-opening celebration!
And happy Rez day to me! Two years has gone by so fast!

| New Group Option for Calla Update Group! |
We've been awfully quiet lately and I'm starting to feel guilty. So here I am! There is stuff going on behind the scenes at Calla. We are here, I promise. We're just knee deep in gift certificates. (We were previously up to our eyeballs, so this is an improvement!)
One of the things we're working on, and I am quite excited about this, is a new group alternative!
Please let me be clear: THIS DOES, NOT NOR WILL IT EVER, REPLACE OUR IN-WORLD GROUP!
We love our group, and have some of the best girls (and some guys) ever. We really enjoy the chats which usually spiral out of control into a completely hysterical laugh fest. So, if you enjoy the craziness that is our group never fear, group chat is not going anywhere!
But if you're like the rest of us and shuffle groups around to get notices and info and goodies, or you just don't want the chatter, we're hoping this helps!
We're trying something a little different than the Subscribe-o-Matic. This doesn't make you find a terminal, but rather it's a HUD that you can attach anywhere. It looks like this:
The "Subscribe" and "Unsubscribe" buttons do just that. If you subscribe, it will send you the group notice as an IM. If you unsubscribe the only time it will talk to you is when you attach it.
The big button in the middle will have different functions, but basically you click it and get something! That's the one that will give you whatever group gifts, notecards, LM's, blog links, etc that we send out.
We will be asking for your feedback, though. We want to make sure it works as well for you, and for us as we think it will.
You can pick one up in the lobby of our main store. Just find the HUD in the lobby near the entrance (I promise to make it big enough to see) and buy it for L$0. We will also be sending one out via our group notices, so you can get it there, too.Labels: Group, Group Alternative

| Hae's Eight.. |
Ok so, I didn't wanna do this. But for some strange reason I started to feel guilty about it. I was tagged by Marleen, and Truth... I think that's it. I hope that's it anyway. So here goes:
The rules are:
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 are tagged, and to read your blog.
1. When I was in Kindergarten, our class got a brand new piano. During nap time I chose to sleep under it with my cousin who was in the same class. She dared me to carve my name into one of the legs with a paper clip. I did. My whole name, first and last. When I was done, she got up and told on me.
2. I'm an insomniac.. But when I finally do sleep, I can sleep anywhere. Through anything. It's just the falling asleep part I can't get down.
3. I have 1g plugs in my earlobes. Some people don't know what those are, so here's a helpful picture of someone with them. Mine are smaller than that though, as I tried to stay on the girly side rather than the gross side. I like to stick pens through them and jiggle them around while I fill out forms at the doctors office.
4. I can juggle up to 6 objects at once, but nothing bigger than an orange.
5. I can't do basic math without counting on my fingers. I can do multiplication, and division and fractions ffs.. But ask me what 8 + 7 is and you'll see my fingers wiggle.
6. I write erotic short stories.
7. I like traffic. But only when I'm alone in my car. It gives me time to relax and sing as loud as I want to.
8. One of my 8 facts.. is a lie.
I'm going to tag.. the entire Calla Update Group! Cause I can :D If you don't have a blog, feel free to do it in the comments to this post.
