Fashion Database

Okay so this may or may not be a good idea, but I’d like to try to start a Database of sorts of Second Life fashion brands. I need to gather the following info:

1. Brand Name
2. Avatars associated with brand:
3. Blog or website:
4. Update Group name:
5. SLurls to their shops
6. URLs to SL Exchange, OnRez, etc.
7. Products available: i.e. shoes, skins, hair, jewelry, clothing, etc. Just a basic item description
8. Description: [Ad Copy text would go here]
9. Ad image

I’ll probably do this as a wiki eventually so creators can add and update their own entries, but I’d like to get this kicked off, so until I find a site that works for me, please enter the above information in the comments. Don’t just limit yourself to your own stores. Add some of your favorites. The goal is this will be open and editable eventually, but I’d like to start with some stores already in there. So I’m crowd sourcing :). Help me get these listed. Images can be sent to me at NurseTanyaBook@gmail.com Thanks everyone!

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

I was playing around with the Christmas bag from Cassini Creations. It’s lots of fun. Just click on it and it brings up a list of everyone within 20m of your avatar. Click on the name of the avatar you want and it asks them if they have been naughty or nice. Once they respond they will get a random gift or a lump of coal.

2007 Blogger’s Choice Awards Celebration Location Change

Hey everyone we’ve had a location change for the 2007 SL Fashion Blogger’s Choice Awards Celebration. It will be hosted at the Aspire! SkyLounge and our DJ will be Summer Deadlight.

Be sure to join the event page on Facebook for photos and more after the party as well as any other event changes.

Tagged

So I’ve been tagged by Tanya and Iris Seale.

“Eight Random Facts” meme.

Here are the rules:
(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’re tagged, and to read your blog.
8 Things you may not know about me.

1. I’m not Tanya’s alt. Seriously, when I first started blogging she got a couple of compliments on me.

2. A lot of my energy lately has been going into World of Warcrack.

3. The last 2 years have been one thing after another offline and it’s not over yet. Lots of illnesses, two deaths, and tons of depression. You guys may never recognize me if I’m ever normal again.

4. I wasn’t really interested in fashion until I got into Second Life.

5. I’m technically left-handed because I write and do most things with it but I also do a lot with my right so I’m fairly ambidextrous.

6. I’m a total Mac fangirl and I converted Tanya. I have a Macbook Pro *smug*
7. I love it when you come up and talk to me. I’m an extreme introvert so I don’t get out much even in SL and I often feel like I’m intruding when I see other people I might say hi to.

8. I’m moving to Atlanta after Christmas to go back to school for design. In the meanwhile I’m hanging out my shingle at http://infoadept.com. I’d loooove feedback.

8 people to tag, huh: Amelia Abernathy, Ayesha Bisiani, CronoCloud Creeggan, elka Lehane, Lucas Lameth, Roslin Petion, CJ Carnot, Caliah Lyon. Yes I can count but a couple of them have probably already been tagged.

2007 Blogger’s Choice Awards Celebration

Event listing on Facebook

SLURL for the Club

People’s Choice Award Voting still going on

Just wanted to mention since it’s been so long and real life has interfered in the worst of ways. The People’s Choice Award is STILL OPEN. I have decided to extend it until December 1st. Remember that votes from the same IP address are only counted once.

As for the 2007 SL Fashion Blogger’s Choice Awards, I will be announcing the results on Friday, December 7th. I am currently in the planning stages of a celebration party.

If you would like to contribute to the party gift bag, please contact Tanya Book. I can be reached via email, SL or twitter.

SL Fashion Bloggers’ Choice Awards

I feel I need a public explanation for this. If I contacted you about voting in the Blogger’s Choice Awards and you go to the URL now you’ll find a note and no way to vote currently. The URL for voting was getting more non-bloggers than bloggers so I made the decision to shut it down for now. I have no ideal how so many nonbloggers got the URL, but it happened. I was up until 4 am this morning. So I’m going to take a few days break before trying to get it set up again.

Blogger’s Choice Awards Nominations now closed

The Nominations for the Blogger’s Choice Awards are now closed. Voting will reopen once I get the poll coded and formated and run until Nov 15. In the mean time, everyone’s invited to participate in the People’s Choice Award. I’ve used all the nominations for various categories. There are a few well loved SL fashion artistes who requested to be removed from the list. Remember that voting more than once per IP address will only count 1 of the votes.

People’s Choice Award

ETA: I just put together the list of Nominees & Categories. Please keep in mind that not all categories were thought up by me & I completed the Nomination form just like everyone else. (Actually I did mine first so I wouldn’t be influenced by anyone else.)
