Sales and Hunts Oh My!

Well a bit behind on the blog sorry! LOL. RL and trying to push push push the building and creating, couldn't help but let something fall by the wayside oops.

(Sorry that the layout is a mess ... some of these blogger and layout features are not cooperating ... need to work on getting a new one).

Well the good thing is that it's Mother's Day tomorrow, and to try to help everyone out with their shopping needs, I've marked down all my Xstreet items by at least 50%! You can click here to go right to my market place and start looking for something cute, funny or fun for that special mom you know in SL! Use the "Buy As Gift" button to send the item as a prezzie, or just enjoy it for yourself! Either way, the sale ends on Monday sometime (whenever I get the chance to put the prices back to normal lolololol) so grab the deals while you can!

Oooo, and there's other fun stuff going on :) Those of you who have been with RGK for a while probably know that we've always had a side of our business dedicated to profile pics, creation of logos, business items (like vendor displays) and custom signs/posters (like some of the hunt signs we've designed). To help bring that more to the forefront, we've put up in the sky, a free photo studio and gallery, called RGK :Graphics Worx. There you can, of course, use the free photo studio, browse my past commissioned and independent pieces and until next weekend, participate in our GRAND OPENING HUNT! <-- Click that for the slurl ;) In this hunt, you'll be looking for twelve (12) rose petals, each different-colored, and each containing an RGK original tattoo! The harder to find tatts are set to sale for 0L. The easier-to-find ones range from 5 to 10L! A steal! Below are the pics of the tatts that you'll find in the roses. They are offered in shirt AND undershirt layers so you can combine some if you want to. I hope you enjoy the hunt, the tatts, and the photo studio! Looking forward to seeing you there ;) Happy Mother's Day to all the mommies, and have a great weekend everyone!

New New New!

New release and new hunt!

This mid-week release we've gotten out there so we can have for you another Easter-themed set of neko tail and ears for you to enjoy! Whether you're getting dressed up for an event or just for the season, these will be perfect ;)

Be sure to grab last week's and this week's release while you can, because these sets of tail and ears will be gone after Sunday!

Also, the Diamonds In The Rough Hunt starts today!!! Chippie got a sneak preview of some of the items in the hunt, and some of the fashion blogs of posted about several of the outfits designers are offering, and they are ALL raving about them! Check out the hunt blog to see who is in it, and if you google "Diamonds In The Rough Hunt," you can see a few of the fashion bloggers who are raving about what they've previewed. This hunt is definitely time well spent!

Our hunt gift harkens back um ... Raffi's smartass sense of humor bwahahaha. The prize includes a woman's cami and an oversized-diamond ring that pays a "Show Ring" animation while you wear it, and also has a chat menu when you and your friends click (yes, we love chat menus!). We had a ton of fun coming up with this, hopefully you all will enjoy it as much as we did!

Have funnnn!

Spring Showers and Sales

Got a couple of fun things starting up today!

First off is the Spring Showers Hunt that kicks off today! This hunt is being organized by the SL Discovery group, which has organized several other really well-run hunts in the past. They have some great shops participating. Please follow the link that is to the right of this page for hunt hints and more.

For this event, you are looking for a blue, sculpted raindrop. RGK has put together what is, for now, a pre-release of our "Bunny" outfit for women. This cute and sexy outfit includes: Satin halter top and bikini shorts, sculpted bunny ears, sculpted shirt collar with matching bowtie, sculpted cuffs with bowtie buttons, and a fluffy bunny tail!

The next event we're participating in is the LOW Sale! LOW stands for "Letter Of the Week." It is a new idea that groups together some wonderful designers who all put one item up for sale that matches the Letter Of The Week. This week's letter is "A," so RGK is offering up its Allegiance neko tail, ears and matching armband for 60L, which is reduced by more than 50% from its usual 125L. You have all week to brows the participating shops, and on Sunday next week, we will offer another sale on a new letter!

Please take a look at the link offered up on the right side of this blog for the the LOW blog site where you can take a look at the prizes and participating shops.

Happy hunting and shopping everyone!

Group Gift!

Yay :) The new main store is all finished up, and with it are some new features that we're excited about. I'll talk about those a bit later hahaha. Mostly, I'm excited about the upcoming new release, and the group gift that we sent out today!

Being busy with the new setup, we unfortunately haven't had a new release lately, and we also missed the boat for St. Patty's day funness. To make up for it, we're putting on a push to go all-out for Easter. We kicked it off with an exclusive group gift -- A set of our new "Peeps Galore" neko tail and ears in Exclusive Purple. The tail and ears will be released this weekend in limited edition Easter colors, so if you're not in the RGK Posse, hold tight! They're coming ;)

Now, we did say that there are a couple of new features in the new main store setup. Here they are:

GACHA! These are some fun machines that you see out and about in some shops and malls. Basically, it's SL's rendition of those gumball machines you see in RL grocery stores that dispense plastic bubbles that have temporary tattoos, cheapo-jewelry or fun little toys in them. We have two Gacha machines at the moment, and each one is loaded up with different stuff. One has the Gun Show camis in them, for 20L, and the other has some of the items that we put up in past hunts, those are for 15L. The hunt items in the second gacha, many come with re-size by menu scripts and texture-change options, so for 15L you really are getting WAY more than your money's worth! The fun in gacha machines is in not knowing exactly which item (or color of item, in the case of the camis) you will get.

MM BOARD! It's BACK! We took it down for a while but decided to bring it back because it's just a fun thing to have around lol. The big difference now is that it is up to our visitors to suggest what we should put in the MM Board. GRAB A NOTECARD FROM THE SIGN NEXT TO THE MM BOARD and fill it in to make your suggestion ;) Soooo, it only gets updated as often as we get suggestions from YOU! And yes, we will force the board before we log for the night if we see that some people have slapped the MM board ... we're on EST, so figure on it getting forced by around 7 p.m. SLT on most days, unless it locks down way before then.

As you can see, we've already gotten one suggestion from someone and have faithfully put it up there ;) We don't know what you want until you tell us, so be sure to let us know!

Still there is the Lucky Chair, which we're getting ready to update, and we are going to try to get one more gacha machine going. We'll see how it works LOL.

Sooo, let's start hearing from you! Start sending Chippie them notecards with your suggestion on MM board items and get things going!

Dollarbie$ !!!!

Well who doesn't love a great deal? I know all of us do, especially when we're first starting out in SL and finding our way around, trying our best not to look like the noob we are. Even afterward, we STILL are in search for the holy grail -- AMAZING stuff for free, or close to free!

One of the best places I found when I was newer, was a dollarbie/freebie store that is very generously supported by Enky's, a fabulous shoe and accessories designer. My fondest memory was walking around first the store, admiring all the beautiful boots and shoes, realizing I didn't have enough L's to afford them, and then stumbling upon their freebie/dollarbie area, and walking away feeling like a million bucks ... and pretty much looking that way too.

Well, they've upped the ante -- they still have their great freebies and dollarbies (and beautiful shoes, fyi), but they've renovated their dollarbie clothing area by inviting some top-notch SL designers! We were SO very flattered when they asked RGK to be among them!!! Wow!!!!! It blew us away, let me tell ya LOL.

When Chippie went and visited to see what it was (she'd never heard of it before), she said she almost um ... well, I'll leave that off of here but you can guess what she said LOL. LeeZu, Sn@tch, MEB, and soon coming are Ohmai, and many many many more designers. All have some AMAZING offerings there. She wrote me this babbling IM, LOL, so I could tell it was a really great setup. Right now, RGK has just two items up: A set of NEW elven ears (with the tint-adjusting menu), and a set of neko tail and ears with original chat menu options. Once things have calmed down a bit on the renovation of the mall and Main Store, we're planning to add more.
Among the other many amazing items there are men's and women's shirts and jackets, shoes, dresses, jewelry and accessories, casual, formal oh my goodness. All of them for 1L!!!!

No matter what your dress, style, or gender, you WILL find something there for you. GO check it out, you will NOT at all be sorry.

Happy shopping!!!

Raffle Pick Prize!

Wooot, it's March, and that means a new monthly picks prize for Thunderstruck Radio Land!

Our prize this month is being offered by none other than Velvety Avro, designer for Alpha-Delta Designs. If you're unfamilliar with her work, be sure to visit this talented artist! She offeres everything for amazingly detailed and imaginative piercings to some of the best deal in full-perm textures that you'll find in SL.

Speaking of textures, that is exactly what she will be giving out as a prize to one lucky winner, whose name will be drawn on March 31st.

IF YOU ALREADY ENTERED YOUR NAME INTO THE RAFFLE JAR, AND YOUR NAME HAS NOT BEEN PICKED, YOU DO NOT NEED TO RE-ENTER!

Remember, in order to win, you must follow these steps:
1) TP to Thunderstruck Radio Land.

2) Before moving an inch, add Thunderstruck Radio Land to your picks. You do so by opening up your profile, clicking on the "Picks" tab. Then, click on the "New" button. If your picks are full, the "new" button will not be available to you. You'll have to click on the tab for a pick you don't mind deleting, then click "Delete." After you've done that, you can then click the "new" button.

3) Find the raffle jar (which is now RIGHT NEXT to the landing area, on a wooden table witha blinking neon sign over it) and click on it. That's it! All you need to do is keep Thunderstruck Radio Land in your picks, sit back, and wait ;)

If you've already entered the raffle once before and haven't won, no need to re-enter. Your name is still in the jar and you're good to go!

Good luck everyone, and thanks again for showing your support by participating in this event!

Sweet Sweet Shoulders

Well I completely missed blogging last week's release, LOL, but we had a set of Cupcake Love tees and Elf ears for that. Last week's tee's came with a little bonus snack :) I'll put the pics of those down at the bottom of this blog.

Cuz I wanna focus on this week's sweet releases! We've got a cute tee-shirt, that comes in 6 different colors, and "Good" and "Bad" cuppy shoulder pets! As with many of us ladies -- either because of New Year's resolutions, Lent, or whatever -- I'm on a diet, and the idea of that "Good and Bad Cupcakes" came to me while I was having one of my many internal battles with myself over whether or not to eat that brownie! LOL. Sooo, here they are! The tees are hand-painted cuppies with handrawn halo, wings, devil horns etc., and handrawn shading and wrinkles.

The shoulder pets are available individually, and also have been packaged together at a discounted price. They are made out of sculpted prims, and the angel and devil wings are custom textures, as is the smiley face and "bad" faces that the cuppies make (yes, they make faces while sitting so cutely on your shoulder! LOL), and they have cute chat menu phrases too! There are giant versions of the cuppies available at the Main Store, so you can see for yourself how fun they are :) If you'd like to gift them, they're available on my Xstreet as well!

LOTS of fun stuff in the works! Here is a sneak peek at one of the upcoming changes all ;) Not telling you yet what's going on, but wanted to show off what I've been working on, cuz I'm just so damn tickled over it LOL:












Annnnd, here's the stuff I missed posting last week LOL. These are available in the main store, look for 'em! ;)

HUNT EVERY ROSE!

Hallloooooo! SO EXCITED!!! Soooo excited that the Every Rose hunt starts in just a few short hours, and we get the HUGE honor of being the start location! Also very excited because I LOVE the idea of this hunt, very unique, as are all the hunts that are organized by Dani :))))

This cool hunt is kind of the "Anti-Valentine Hunt." While I think Valentine's is very pretty with the roses and the hearts and all that, I have to say that, I have never, EVER been a "bring me a bunch of roses and a box of chocolates" kind of gal. I have never really been a fan of Valentine's Day, so when Dani came up with the idea of this hunt, I was alllllll over it! LOL.

So, bring out the cynic in you, or with you hehehe, and join this amazing hunt! There are great designers participating in it, you truly won't be sorry!

For our prize, we really tried to keep in mind the spirit of the hunt, our very own cynicism over Valentine's, and also tried to honor the importance of being the starting point of this hunt. We've put together for everyone a unisex hunt prize, complete outfit. The outfit includes jeans with sculpted cuffs (unisex), tee shirt for guys -- although the women could easily pull it off too -- and tattered, bloody tank tops for the girls. The girls' tank top is sooooo tattered that there's a version with a band-aid covering a boobie, and a version without the bandaid BWAHAHAHAHA. There's also a unisex leg brace that goes with the outfit -- leather strap with a realistic human heart strapped to it with barbed wire, and a rasor blade crammed into it just for effect.

Sorry the pics aren't fancy, but I'm short on time :(( You get the idea though, and hope you agree that this is a prize worth lookin' for!

There is a blog with slurls up, the "Hunt Location" blog that is linked to the right of this entry will take you to Maleficien Benoir's always highly-detailed blog. Use that to help you out if you have any issues, and also keep an eye out for boxes that you can click on to give out hints :) Some shops may opt NOT to use one, at their discretion, but if you see it, take advantage!

NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN is the hunt that is wrapping up on Monday, the Shoes and Accessories Hunt! If you haven't hopped on that bandwagon, be sure to do so! This is your chance, ladies and gents, to get your hands on some really amazing free shoes, bags, hats and more! The link to their blog is also available off to the right of this entry ;)

FINALLY, but deffo not least, we've gotten around to setting out the new, menu-driven tint adjusting elf ears out for sale! If you liked the free sample version we had out a couple of weeks ago, but wished there was a better way to adjust the tint, then this one's for you ;) We've got some cute, fun ideas for these coming up, so stay tuned!

Happy hunting everyone, and OMG TGIF pleaseeeee!

Kisses!

Kisses, sweeter than wine .... OK I haven't gotten enough sleep LOL This week's release is small in size, but I hope everyone agrees that what it lacks in size, it makes up in cuteness factor ;)

Chippie has been a WORK HORSE, and will continue to be as we head toward Valentine's Day. We've got a few exciting projects under way that we'll unveil as things move along here ... but anyway. ... Those in the RGK Posse (our subscribo group) got our Valentine's giftie today! The group gift is also our new release, it's the "Kiss On The Nose" accessory ;)

It's nothing too complicated, just attach it, and the pair of sculpty lips with the sculpted word "Smooch" across it pops onto your schnozz. When clicked, the lips make a "Smoooooch" sound, and starts poofing out some alpha hearts! Click it again, and with another "Smooooch" sound, the hearts stop poofing out.

The item in the main store is no transfer, BUT, if you'd like to get a copy for s friend or loved one, you can buy it as a gift by clicking on this link to Xstreet.

On Friday this week, RGK has the GREAT honor of being the starting location of the Every Rose Hunt! It starts on Friday, Feb. 12, at our main store location at Thunderstruck Radio Land, wooo!

One of the projects Chippie has on her plate is/are prezzie(s) [she hasn't decided and won't tell me yet dammit!] that will be worthy of being the first store on the list of awesome shops that are participating. Once she's ready to reveal what the gift(s) is/are, we'll be sure to blog it and let you all know!

Be sure to stay tuuuuuned!

New Release, New Month, New Picks Prize!

This weekend simply got away from me! Gonna catch up here with the stuff that we released this past weekend, and the new stuff that's going on.

So, need to let you all know that February means that last month's monthly picks raffle has wrapped up. We've announced the winner of Karfieds Shapes' prize, the beautiful "Steph" shape, and we are lucky enough to have this month's prize hosted by Rebel Fairey!

Shayne Fairey, owner and designer of Rebel Fairey, has worked up a new line of tattoos, and she is offering up a unisex one for this month's picks raffle. Be sure to stop by Thunderstruck Radio Land, slap us up in your picks, and hit up that raffle jar. It is now accepting new entries! If you were already entered in previous rounds, no need to tap the jar again, just be sure to keep us in your picks and you're good to go ;)

Over the weekend, we released a new teeshirt and shorts set. I'll let the pictures do the talking on that ;)

Also released over the weekend was a new set of Elf Ears for 60L Sunday, which, btw, now starts on Saturday hahaha. In any event, we released the "Pierced" Elf ears in the straight style since it seemed to be the most popular ... although not by a whole heck of a lot. We will be doing the same style in the curved ear shape as well, and have it out to sale sometime this week.

Stay tuned for more developments! Working on ideas for heart-themed stuff (valentine and anti-valentine cuz let's face it, not everyone likes Valentine's day) for nekos, non-nekos, romantics and more ;)

Have a great week!

Haiti Relief Efforts ...

This week's release is being brought to you on a serious note. As everyone knows, there is a big call for humanitarian aid to go to Haiti to help vicitims of the devastating earthquake there. In SL, there are many designers and builders participating in an in-world effort to raise money that will go to the Red Cross and all the good work they are doing for the men, women in children in Haiti.

Chippie and I have combined our efforts to bring to you two men's, and two women's items this week, with 100% of the proceeds on the sales of all these items set to go to the Red Cross. We decided on using the theme of 2010's Chinese zodiac sign, the tiger, along with the colors red, white and blue for the shirts we made. The tiger symbolizes strength and courage, and red white and blue are found in the Haitian flag. We also used the Chinese character for 'tiger' in the men's and women's necklaces we made.

The shirts and necklaces are available seperately, but we also offered an option where we packaged them together, and discounted the combined price of both by 15%.

If you're not in the mood for one more shirt or one more accessory, there is also a donation kiosk set up by the vendors. Please donate whatever you can, as it all is good and helpful. I want to thank those who already showed their support for this campaign, and thank everyone else in advance for their generosity.

On a lighter note, I also wanted to let you know that we are in the Shoes and Accessories Hunt. This hunt is the first of its kind, and I was so extremely honored to be invited to be in this hunt! It was by invite only, which was so flattering. Be sure to take part, there are some amazing designers in it, including Hoorenbeek (which is the starting point), Iren, and many many more amazing designers. The shoes and accessories you are hunting for are for men and women, and some designers have included prizes for each, or a unisex one. The link to the blog site for the hunt is on the right of this page ;)

You can see that RGK's prize for this hunt is a women's item. Sorry guys! We just couldn't get it together in time to have one of each, as we usually like to do. I promise we'll make it up to you soon!!!!

So that's our news for this week. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and have a great time on all these hunts!
