Sanu in SL: Relay for Life Season Starts Again.

If you’ve spent any real time in Second Life, I have little doubt that you’ve heard about Relay for Life. They’re one of the most major charitable organisations taking advantage of the digital medium of Second Life and the wealth of online community support by both creators and consumers as a method of fundraising. Well, it is that time of year again. The Relay for Life Fantasy Faire is kicking off in less than a day, and it seems to be a great way to start off the charitable Relay for Life season (which runs through to June, I think, if I have my dates correct!).

So this year, I have three Relay for Life charity items, each falling into a different price-range – so that there’s a little something even for those who need to watch their budget. The first, as you see above, is a set of silly star earrings in pretty pink.

Some of you may remember my Chibi-heart Pets – well, this is a special recolour just for the faire. It will only be around as long as the faire is, and then it is gone for good! Featuring more vibrant colours than the original Chibi-heart Pets, this little fellow is sure to make you stand out. You can even name them!

The third item I have up is a touch more expensive, but has been released at a discounted price in the hopes that more people will scramble to pick it up, in support this great cause! I absolutely love the vivid yet delicate tones of this skin. I’ve also set out a little 1l treat (a paint-splatter for the face, in a tattoo layer) in a gift-box at the faire.. I’m sure it isn’t hard to find it.

You can pick up these items and check out the full Sanu display at the Relay for Life Fantasy Faire. Here’s a TP to my location on the Fantastical and Magical sim. I believe that it reroutes teleporting to the central hub, but hopefully it will bring up a red beacon for you to follow.

Happy shopping, everybody!

Sanu in SL: Pacific Crisis Fundraiser Event.
I’m sure that most everyone knows about the incredible devastation visited upon Japan by the massive earthquakes. Once again, designers (and I’m sure entertainers, too) are stepping up to the plate in Second Life and doing their bit to raise money to help out where they can. I’m no exception (although thankfully I’m not organizing this event!) – the skin you see in this pic is a special just for the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser event, and 100% of the proceeds will be going into the charity account from this item.

You can pick up the skin at my mainstore, or alternatively, visit the Fundraiser Event location to see both this item and many others from a great range of designers, with full or partial proceeds going towards the cause.

On a slightly different note…

I’m also participating in the Lucky Prims event hosted by Royal Living. Each vendor is to set out an item (or items) for sale for the low price of L$45, with a retail value of at least L$500. You can see the vendors participating, their prizes and their landmarks at the Royal Living website. There’s some great items to be had!

My prize, as you can see from the image above, includes the following:
- A special Miro skin – each skin comes with brow and cleavage options
- Two mouth leaf sets, for nomming
- A twiggy pot-plant, to hold in your hand
- Three variations of the twiggy plant to decorate with
Quite a set, huh? I had real fun making it! Pick up yours today over at Sanu.

Sanu in SL: The Miro skins for a touch of Spring.

My husband teases me about this. He really does. Every time I start on something like skins, or hair, or buildings, he’ll go, “Kat, you said that I should beat you if you ever start trying to make <insert item here>.” To which I resoundingly reply, “Shut up. Don’t tell me. I knowwwww!”

Skins are very much one of those things that I said I’d never do.

Luckily though, I often ignore what I’ve said earlier, and do it anyway. So here’s the new release!

There are four tones, to suit a range of avvies, starting with a nice pale shade.

There’s seven make-ups available in each tone – six can be picked up individually, but the seventh can only be obtained by purchasing the fatpack.

Each of the skins have four options to cover some of the basics – light brows for blonde and lighter hairs, dark brows for brunettes and darker, no cleavage for those that prefer a more natural look and cleavage for those who want a bit of lift. By having these options on the skin itself, you have the tattoo layer free for other things.

So yes. I’ve made skins again. Skins inspired by flowers and Spring-time and frolicking and fun. I’ve even released the shape in-store as well, so that you can get the exact look in the signs with the addition of some hair from Fri.day, eyes by Poetic Color, and outfit by Evie’s Closet.

Teleport to Sanu to try out a demo today!

Sanu in SL: Feeling sickly, but there’s an up-side!

I hate being sick. There’s just something about sniffling away with a throb in your head and a churning in your gut that says, ‘Oh God, please let this be over soon.’

That’s not all, either. I have to be the worst sick person to be around, if I’m at home. Oh, I’ll act all strong and tough it out if I’m at work or something similar, but get me home again and I turn into a pouty little so-and-so who wants chicken broth, snuggles and a huge side-order of pampering. Aloe-vera tissues for me please, and go heavy on the sympathy… especially if you happen to be the one who gave me the flu in the first place.

There is, however, a bit of an up-side to all of this. You see, I seem to have developed this pattern in Second Life: get sick, moan about it, then make something to share the feeling of sickliness with everyone else. I’ve done two sick day skins so far (the first two were given as group gifts, and one was subsequently put up for general sale), and the one in this picture is now officially the third. I call it, ‘Sick Again’.

In keeping with the sick-day skin tradition, this skin has been sent out to the Sanu groups and will be available there for free for the two weeks that it will remain in the notice archives and redelivery terminal.

Teleport to Sanu and click a group sign (there’s one for the subscription group and one for the system group) to join, and go through the archives to receive your gift.

Sanu in SL: It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack!

You know, I think a hunt is a great way to kick off the new month. During August I will be participating in the Needle in a Haystack Hunt, hosted by the Happy Hunters group. This will be their first hunt, so hopefully everything will go nice and smoothly for them!

You can find a full list of participating stores on the Happy Hunters website, which will no doubt also have hints and teasers of some of the prizes added soon as well.

The prize at my store is now up and ready to go. It contains two cute skins, in addition to some needles for nomming. (Please don’t try this at home. Like running with scissors, nomming with needles is hardly a great idea.)

You can find these prizes at the Sanu mainstore inside a little haystack, and I haven’t hidden it all that hard. In a big hunt such as this, I just think it is much easier on everyone to have a prize that is easier to find!

In case you do get stuck though, here is a little hint: I’m feeling hungry… do you like cupcakes as much as I do?
