Little trouble in Blackmount.

If you visited the Blackmount sim recently, you must have noticed that “thing” in the center of the sim, a huge “build” with ugly walls, many ban lines and not very difficult to recognice tendency for big prims. Several ways into our parcel are blocked, other shops have been surrounded by them, making it hard or even impossible to walk in or our their shops. However, we have no plans to give up or to get bought out, you can still visit the shop and fly around as usual…

We have a fashion model!

The selection process was tough as our requirements were hard to meet, only one survived the contest. But first, here are the rules, the contestants had to comply to:

• No payment. Wearing and presenting our stuff is fun, why would anyone want to get paid for it?
• Talking, moving, breathing, everything that may ruin the presentation: forbidden!
• The minimum time in the shop per day: 24 hours. Yes, it is a full commitment.

Did I say that our requirements are hard? In our opinion, it is a pleasure and a privilege to get hired for the job and get the permission to wear the official title: “PRIMALOT Model”.

All about “TR”.

The term “temp-rezzing” may not be familiar to everyone, so we made a small visual introduction without much technical lingo. This manual will be made available in the shop as soon as possible. Take a preview:

Lucky Chair update.

May has arrived and so does a new bunch of prizes for our lucky chair: The recently released combo of Geom jewelry and Dotty watches has been reworked in a warm and dark red and will be available in the chair only until June. A third item has been added to the chair, but that is a surprise for you, something you have to find out yourself.

CU in PRIMALOT.

Goldthaler.

Today’s last update presents a double release of “Goldthaler”, each containing a necklace and three(!) pairs of earrings, either with a set of dark or white pearls: Take one and you basically got three. But… wait a minute… take both and you have six pairs of earrings! Ok, let’s cool down, back to the facts: All products are available NOW, you can see them temp-rezzed and on our vendors:

New jewelry has arrived!

Today we released two new sets of a necklace and earrings, “Violet” and “Aura”. Of course, we also updated our new TempRezzer to allow you studying these detailed pieces at your preferred zoom level, right here, right now, we can only provide 2D “appetizers” intended as a subtle invitation to come to PRIMALOT. ;D

Geometry in three styles…

Yesterday, we released a family of geometric necklaces, earrings and wrist watches. Design and color have been adjusted so that three styles of necklaces and earrings – called “Geom” – can be combined with the corresponding wrist watches called “Dotty”. The design uses neither textures nor bling scripts, just prims, color and the shininess provided by editor.

Say hello to TR.

We used to represent our jewelry and clocks on vedor textures, but that is only a 2D impression of what is designed to work and to interact in a 3D (virtual) world. So we designed, implemented and installed a TempRezzer in the shop and can now offer to get an easy and realistic impression what the products are and how they look in-world.

Proper Usage.

According to the comments in this blog entry (see 3rd section of the text), we added a "®" to our blog tag or categories. The comment also says: “But it’s important that the blog name be more prominent than the byline.” The name Second Life® does not appear in our blog title and tag/category names are usually very small text tags beneath or aside the text (in our blog template) so that we believe to be compliant with the new trademark policy.

More about bugs…

Today, we participated in one of Random Calliope’s butterfly hunts on Ode and although we tried our best to slaugther as many butterflies as possible, we only managed to capture one piece of Random’s fine jewelry.

Do we hate butterflies? No, absolutely NOT! To prove that, we released a tiny fun attachment today to express our appreciation for these litte creatures – PRIMALOT’s Tiny Butterfly:
