25L Tuesday

Happy Halloween, folks!

Haven Designs SLURL
First off… 25L Tuesday starts at midnight, and Haven Designs is in the lineup with a fun halloween themed outfit for you all.
Only 25L each, of course, with completely original texturework and handmade sculpts, this is an outfit you won’t find a similar copy of anywhere else!

 

Also, for those of you who turned in customer surveys to me this month, thank you SO MUCH!  Your input is extremely valuable, and helps me figure out what you want.  I loved reading the extra bits of info many of you put on your notecard responses.
Finally, the part you’ve all been waiting for!  Due to me expecting to be unavailable on October 30-31 (thanks to real life) I’ve done the raffle drawing today!  I wasn’t expecting the overwhelming number of survey respones I got, so I bumped the number of winners from one winner, to three winners!

 
Congratulations to the following three people!

Raven Curtis

Myth Silversmith

Temperance Venkman

 
One free fatpack is your prize!

I will wear purple today.

I wear purple today.  If I could wear purple every day, I would.

I was relentlessly bullied throughout middle school and high school because of my sexual preferences, to the point of attempting suicide myself.  Thanks to the quick intervention of friends, family, and medical professionals, my life was saved, and through the help of therapy and a caring support network, I found hope and a reason to stick it out and make it to adulthood.
We need to help get the message across that there is hope.  It gets better.

Wear purple today if you can.  In Second Life, in Real Life.  Please.  Do it for the kids who are struggling with what I once struggled with.  Too many of them did not have the intervention I did, and too many are now only present in our thoughts and prayers.

There is light at the end of the tunnel.   I know there is, because I made it out alive.

 

Skin: Atomic – Grace.  Mocha. Simplicity.

Hair: Discord Designs – Amy. (cool brown.)

Shirt: Haven Designs – Wear Purple Shirt

Pants: Haven Designs – Kaimi – Chocolate

Bangles: Mayfly – Jangle Bangles (It gets Better – Wear purple)

Necklace: Stygian – Chain Link Necklace (Poison)

Pose: Glitterati

Wear Purple Day.

Wednesday, October 20, 2010 is a very, very important day for me and for many others who have stepped up to try and make a difference.

 
After the recent suicides of several LGBT youth due to overwhelming bullying, Oct 20th has been declared “Wear Purple” day to raise awareness for this all too painful problem currently being ignored worldwide.

 
I was relentlessly bullied throughout middle school and high school because of my sexual preferences, to the point of attempting suicide myself.  Thanks to the quick intervention of friends, family, and medical professionals, my life was saved, and through the help of therapy and a caring support network, I found hope and a reason to stick it out and make it to adulthood.

For those of you who are in need of something purple to help raise awareness, there is a free unisex t-shirt at my main store location.  Please come pick it up.  Put it on.  Blog it.  Show it off.  Help raise awareness.  No one should be forced to endure bullying.  No one should be forced into a position where the light isn’t visible at the end of the tunnel.

Happy Halloween from Haven Designs!

Woohoo, have something cute and orange and black with candy corn on it.  I hate the taste of candy corn, but at least it looks cute on clothing.  🙂
Lucky chair only, from now through October 31st.

Yoga Pants?! At Haven Designs?

I’ve deviated from the norm once again.  Due to an utter lack of motivation, and the awesomeness of the yoga pants I’m currently wearing while typing this…


Have some pants.  Only 80L per single color, 320L for all colors.  Get them at Haven Designs.
They’re slouchy, lower on one hip than the other, maybe a little too short, and one of the strings from the inner drawstring is hanging out.  There’s a good chance, I have to admit, that these are my usual RL work pants.
And they’re probably fairly unisex, I tried them on my male avatar and they didn’t look half bad!   😀
As always, if you wear your Haven Designs VIP Group tag, you get a 10% discount on your purchase!

A mistake was made!

There was a mistake made in this week’s 25L Tuesday notecard, and Haven Designs was left out of the landmark list… which meant less people got the opportunity to get the limited edition item I put out yesterday for only 25L.
Due to this, I’ve decided to go ahead and put “Buttons” up for permanent sale, 100L per single color, or 250L for all 5 colors.
If you missed it yesterday, it’s back out and available in our main store!  Haven Designs SLURL
