Wow almost ready!

Sweeeet! I can't believe how quickly this has gone but, omg the new main store location is just about ready to go! Landscaping is done enough to really get things up and running in the next day or two! Including some pics here so you can see what it's looking like

All that really remains to be done is to set my own store up (ummm, the guest vendors are probably more prepared than I am at this point lol). Sooo, was just blogging here to show you all what it's looking like, and to let you all know that the new location will be open soon!
I'll blog about the guest vendors once I'm ready to announce the actual opening, AND i'll be also talking about some of the things there are for you to do at the new location too. Very excited as my plan to make my main store location as much a hangout space as a shopping location can finally come true! Yaaaay!!!

It's terrafor... I mean ... shaping up

OMG I HATE TERRAFORMING -- but it's fun at the same time. Here's RGK's new main-location-to-be as it is now ;) you get an idea of the setup. VERY excited about it still, i think the butterflies have taken up kickboxing though.

Planning on a couple guest designers there as well. I'll blog about them when things get a bit more settled and details are a little more worked out. Just like the old RGK main location, the 1/4 sim will also be devoted to just having a pretty, fun place to hang out.

Getting close and closer ... landscaping to come ... moving everythning over and getting set up to come ... letting everyone know of new LM to come ... giving some warning and "We've moved sign" to put up ... omg ....

gotta get back to work!

OMG! OMG! OMG!

I'm having heart palpitations over this ... LOL. I still can't believe I did it, but I got a new 1/4 sim to put RGK's main store on. Really lame pic here but ... this represents MY FRESH START!

Soooo excited abou it ... giving myself 3 weeks to get it all set up and moved over. Where RGK is now, is approved for light commercial and, as many of you have undoubtedly noticed, is a "cave in the sky" LOL.

This new place is class 5 and approved for commercial AND can have a club ... omg the mind REELS. I have so many ideas that I'd wished I could bring to fruition but simply couldn't because I was so limited by where RGK Main Store is now. But, between the fact that RGK is growing, has lots of new customers (OMG thank you to all of you!) and the fact that it looks like I want RGK to be permanently in a hunt basically, it really only makes sense to do this. Found a place with awesome tier pricing, prim counts are exactly what I want. ... omg i'm TOTALLY RAMBLING but I'M SO EXCITED!

Will keep everyone posted, and obviously new LMs will be given out when the time comes and EEEEEEKKKK, keep checking here for updates on how things are going :P

THIS HUNT'S FOR YOU, GUYS!

This snuck up on me, to be honest lol. Kinda found it, kinda got busy with the Midnight Maniacs discovery and then woops, all of a sudden it's 2 days before this new hunt starts! LOL

Very excited about this one, as it's the first of its kind -- a hunt geared SPECIFICALLY to men, who often get left out of these things. The new hunt is called the Make Him Over Hunt (MHOH).It starts on June 1st. Woo hooooo.

One of the reasons I'm really excited about this hunt is because of the participating vendors. There are some pretty well-known designers involved in this hunt, and it is toooo exciting and fun to be included along with them. Check out MHOH's blog to see a full list of who's in the hunt. I think you'll get excited about it too once you do ;)

Seems like most hunt organizers that I've been with have tried to be very adamant about making sure participating vendors offer at least one unisex item in their prize, but THIS hunt IS ONLY for the guys ;)

The prize RGK is offering (pictured above) is probably unisex, but tried to make it very guy-ish by including textures of pinup girls in the frame that is on the hat, hehehe. Also made sure that we let the hat be mod (even though, as always, it says "no mod" in your inventory because of scripts used) so you can add your own textures if your sexeh significant other, if you want him/her on there instead.

Hope you guys have lots of fun with this hat, and with this hunt!!!

Annnnd here's the release!

OMG FINALLY got the project done LOL. SL was kicking my ass all over the place last night and couldn't get it out then like I'd hoped. But, FINALLY got all the kinks worked out and here it is ... the funnest thing I've worked on in a while! Very excited about it :)

If you're in the RGK group, you got the "Punkass Duck" shoulder pet as a lil' preview of one of the features of this "Hobo Hat" as I call it hahaha. Kinda comes out of some random thoughts I had, looking at some sculpts I bought, love the idea of and never used. That combined with my wanting to do something FUN for a building project rather that pretty/cool, and there you have it.

I personally think the funnest thing about the hat is the Punkass Duck, but there's other stuff I really like about it too, including the flask that will bartend you a variety of drinks via menu (including absinthe, woot!). There's a "Tuna Can Lunch Box" that vends out sushi (freshness not guaranteed -- I mean c'mon, it's a HOBO hat!) hamburgers and more. The pack of smokes vends out well cigs, cigars and um, more "recreational" type um, "stuff" *LOL* The lighter also clicks on and off, there's a frame into which you can drop pics of perhaps your funnier moments in SL.

*takes a deep breath* AND it's re-sizeable by menu, AND it's unisex.

I just think it's a fun thing, been wearing it around hehehe.

Hope you all will enjoy it too!

Get Slap-Happy!

Here's your chance to do some fun Freebie Shopping!

If you've been introduced to the Midnight Mania/Midnight Madness or similar boards, you know how the whole MM thing works: You see one of those trademark purple boards, click it to register (also called "slapping the board") to win the prize. If the number of original clicks meets the target number, everyone who registered to win the prize, gets it! Not strings attached, easy as that. Looking for and finding these boards is ADDICTING and the free stuff you can get is amazing. I recommend joining a group (Midnight Maniacs being among the biggest groups, but there are others).

ANYWAY, so RGK and many other vendors are going to be a part of Slap A Thon, including Alpha-Delta Designs owned by a great piercings designer and friend Velvety Avro. The event will run from May 29th to June 7th.

In the words of the people who are running the event, here's what it is:

"*What is a slap-a-thon?:

A slap-a-thon is a special event for Midnight Mania lovers offering a special festival where board owners/merchants can place out their boards in 1 location along with a few vendors and free gift items to show you their designs/wares. Board owners will be encouraged to change the MM boards out more frequently than the ususal 24 hours/midnight deadline we normally wait for with MM boards. This means merchants should be available 2-3 times a day during this event to force their boards out if they fill before the ususual deadline. We also may include other events such as freebies or other fun activities as this event unfolds. This is the first large scale event of its kind."

This should be lots of fun, and I'm planning on putting out one women's and one men's item on the MM board at the Slap-A-Thon. Not sure yet if I'll switch out prizes after the first couple of days or not, we'll see how many slappers we got ;)

On the 29th, I'll send everyone a reminder notice with the LM to the slap-a-thon. I hope you all enjoy!

Now the duck is smoking!

Well SL behaved yesterday for a change, and got a lot done on my next project! Here's another sneak peek at one of the parts of the upcoming release I've been working on.

Thinking I may release this to group members as a group freebie. It's been a long time since I've sent one out, and it'll give y'all a bit of the spirit in which I've put this next piece together.

The Punkass Duck, as I call him, is a little nutty, dirty and perhaps embarassing. He'll make a good shoulder pet for those days you're in one of those random moods hehehehe. So you just wear him, and you and your friends click on him and pick from the menu a phrase for him to say. If any one of you reads Terry Prachett's stuff, you'll recognize some of what's there. Click away and have some random fun ;)

All I've really got left to finish up the next release are some finishing details, which I always have the hardest time with *ugh* They'e BORING but necessary. *holds back an "I DUN WANNA DO IT!" tantrum.

Hoping it'll be done in the next day or two ... yaaaay!
