How contests work in SL – Get THREE free sand-writings

♥ Greetings, seekers of romance ♥

I don’t know, if you know, how contest work in SL. I didn’t until a good friend of mine recently participated (and still participates) in such a contest.

It’s a sham right from the beginning!

This is how it works:
You put your picture somewhere on a plate at the place of the contest. The contest organizer puts a script in this plate to “count” the people <touching> or <paying> it. This script prevents that the contestant himself or another avatar touches the plate many times thus giving multiple votes. Usually, you are only allowed to “vote” once a week or once a day. So far the rules seemed quite fair to me, but …

The Second Real Estate Crisis

♥ Greetings, seekers of romance ♥

This isn’t such a romantic posting, but since it affects a lot of us in Second Life, I thought to post it here anyway. Anshe Chung’s virtual Real Estate Imperium Dreamland seems to be dwindling.

No wonder – when Linden Labs lowered it’s prices (not the tier) for land, everyone owning land found himself in a situation where the value of his land had diminshed dramatically over night. The more one had, the more one lost. And I guess, Anshe Chung and her company Dreamland had a lot of parcels that were not worth the money anymore, she herself had paid for.

I own 8’096 sqm on one of her residental sims, but since I didn’t plan to sell my parcel, I just didnt care at that time until …

(ENDED) Current FREEBIE: All for love)

Let’s make it all for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
the one you need,
’cause when it’s all for one it’s one for all.
When there’s someone that should know
then just let your feelings show
and make it all for one and all for love.

♥ Greetings, seekers of romance ♥

I live up to my promise. Our “Love me tender” Park at sim Rockje has opened and once again I find the time to offer you a FREEBIE, not only one but two this time! That’s my way to compensate my avid readers for the long time that went by since the last freebie.

Inspired by the lovely song All for love, I created …

Sandwriting – 2nd Edition

♥ Greetings, seekers of romance ♥

As time goes by, Second Live changes and we who live there with it. While our sandwritings were still the most lovely ones and the most real looking ones, Windlight demanded for more. As Second Life becomes more realistic (and I hope not more real), it was time do redesign our sandwritings and make them even more real looking.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I proudly present to you Sandwritings – 2nd Edition.

Love me tender Park is open to the public

♥ Greetings, seekers of romance ♥

After three month of work, we opened our new sim today. We are quite proud of our quantum leap since we went into business in autumn 2007.

Last week I was interviewed by a major SL magazine, how we accomplished this success. Here is what I told them:

• From the start, we concentrated on quality, that’s why we only sell stuff that is created by ourselves.
• We never sold and never will sell “business-out-of-the-box” products at our stores.
• We sell the genuine stuff, filled with our everyday love for you, for Second Life and for each other (meaning Rockje and me).
• We create products we like ourselves and that we use in our private home, too.

What are you going to find at our new sim and how do you get there?

No more new Freebies?

♥ Greetings, seekers of romance ♥

I got some mails asking, if there won’t be any more new FREEBIES here. Yes, there will be a new FREEBIE soon. I am planning of offering a FREE gras-writing to the readers of this blog. Wait a few more days until our new sim has opened, because that occupies most of my time at the moment.

I haven’t forgotten the FREEBIES – promise!

Spread the love

Grass-writings: A new product line

Lay your head where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me.

(CIBELLE)

♥ Greetings, seekers of romance ♥

Not all of you out there have beaches. Some of you prefer lakes or in-land places to the tropical beaches so popular in SL. Our famous sand-writings are lovely, but I understand that they don’t go well with such a neighbourhood. But – salvation is near.

Our new product line of grass-writings is especially for you lovers of a green ambiance. There are even two FREEBIES available.  For a Nice Price of 600 L$ you get all of the grass-writings. A saving of 300 L$ compared to the price of 150 L$ you normally pay for each one. The two FREEBIES are included too, but without the ads they normally pass to visitors.

Like our sand-writings, these grass-writings use an almost transparent prims that overlays the texture of your lawn. That’s why they look good on every grass.

You can buy the writings from a vendor at our flagship-store in Eris (108, 238, 511).

Of course we do custom grass-writings too. To order one, contact Villain Baroque in-world. You get COPY and TRANS rights on your grass-writing. Such a personalized item costs 1000 L$ and can even include a small logo.

The “Love me tender” park

♥ Greetings, seekers of romance ♥

Sorry for the few posts during last month, but we are preparing our own Sim at the moment. Yes, that’s right, soon you will be able to vist our “Love me tender” park at sim Rockje. That keeps Rockje and me very occupied at the moment and doesn’t leave a lot of time for this blog. But it will be worth it – promised. Meanwhile have a look at the following sneak-preview, I prepared for you:

The thief has a name: Dany Salubrius

♥ Greetings, seekers of romance ♥

We have become used to the daily crimes in Second Life, texture theft and the copying of skins and clothes. There are a lot of people out there that lack creativity but don’t lack criminal impertinence. But who would have thought that sand-writings are next on the list of the digital Ali Babas? Not me.

Since december 2007 we produce our high-quality sand-writings, but guess what? Now a thief with no creativity of her own took snapshots of our sand-writings, placed these snapshots on a prim and started selling them as her own sand-writings. Shame on you, Dany Salubrius. Of course, these copies don’t reach our hand-painted quality by far. Our sand-writings look good on every beach, because they are a mostly transparent overlay on the texture of your beach. This way, it looks good on every kind of sand. Dany’s Copy Shack isn’t proficient in this technique, therefore you get a prim that already brings a sand texture of it’s own. This way, it looks bad on every sand.
