This weekend's release and New Picks Prize!

Well I hope everyone's having a great New Year so far! My resolution is to stay more on top of this blogging business :P





Anywhoo, this weekend, I released what I'm calling a "Tincan Shanty." Basically, it's a 'homeless shelter' I created with the furry purry nekos in mind ;) It's loaded with 6 animated poses, and one static lying-down pose for naptime, hehehe. There's also a TV set on it that can be loaded up with your own pics, as many as you want! There's a demo version of the shanty on the main store's roof ... TP over to my location at Thunderstruck Radio Land, and you can either fly up, or use the TP function I put up next to the vendor in my store. Whichever you choose!





Also, we've updated the Monthly Picks Raffle prize for January! The drawing will take place on Jan. 31. I'll announce the exact time as the date draws nearer.





This month's prize is being generously offered by Karfields Shapes, which is the shop located right next door to mine. If you haven't checked out what she has to offer yet, I highly suggest you do so. Designer Vivian Karfield has THREE FLOORS worth of men's and women's shapes ... all of them fantastic. The shape she has offered to give away to one lucky winner is one she calls "Steph." I won't try to describe it, just drool at the picture you find here hehehehe.





Aside from that, check out my flickr! I've added a couple more pictures there -- mainly the hunt signs that I've been commissioned to create. Been way too much fun making those things, hahaha.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! I hope the holiday season brings to all of you happiness and health.

I have released some sweaters today, which have three sculpted collar options, and has sculpted sleeve cuffs. There's a variety of color choices available, including pink, purple, light blue and regular blue, aqua and green.

If you've swung by Thunderstruck Radio Land to get my Xmas gift for you, you've already gotten a preview of these sweaters :)

AND, my main store has gotten a visit from some naughty elves ... they marked down the Knitty Gritty neko tail and ears as well as the Kiss My Ass set of tail and ears to 25L! ZOMG! I just don't have any time at all to fix that right now, so take advantage of it while you can :)

Truly, all, have a happy and safe Christmas and New Year. My best wishes go out to you all.

XOXO Raff

Playing some catch-up!

Like everyone (so I'll try not to sound like I'm whining LOL), RL has been keeping me busy, so falling behind on this blog! Woops LOL. Oddly, as RL has gotten busy, so has SL. Crazy!

Well here are this week's release, last week's release, and the fun event of this month for December going on at Thunderstruck Radio Land!

This week's release is "Knitty Kitty," a set of neko tail and ears that has all the important kitty parts wrapped up against the cold. The little hats over the ears are texture-change by menu, as is the scarf on the tail. I tossed in a pair of sculpty mittens and a scarf as well, which are also texture-change, loaded with the same textures so you can have everything match! As with all other tails, chat menu is original and specific to this tail.

Last week's release is the "Kiss My Ass" set of tail and ears. This one was uhm, a more smartass take on an Xmas-themed tail LOL. Mistletoe on the tail branches out over each butt cheek, and well, I think that's all that need to be said. The chat menu is definitely smart-assed, and hopefully will make you smile.

Finally, this week, we started the "Gifts Under The Tree" gift-giving event at Thunderstruck Radio Land. Alpha-Delta Designs, Adlerblick Shapes, Karfield's Shapes, Rebel Fairey and RGK (meeee) have all placed presents under the tree that is right by the landing area. If you go out of the RGK main store, you'll see a Xmas tree that has a shining star on it and lights. Right under that tree is a bunch of gifts from all of us, to everyone who visits us! There's some great stuff there, so please take advantage!

Have fun!

GLBT Stamp Out HIV/AIDS Hunt Prize

It's been about a month since the last gridwide hunt I've participated in, so I'm ready for another one now ;) This one starts on Tuesday, December 1st, and runs until the 31st. It's a hunt with a great cause in mind: HIV/AIDS awareness. The hunt is called GLBT World Stamp Out AIDS hunt. There are many, MANY amazing designers participating in this hunt. I encourage everyone to show support for this cause by participating in this hunt, AND by making a donation of however much you are able to.

At each of the locations, you will be hunting for a red ribbon with a spinning globe on it, and we will have prizes for you right in there. As with other hunts, within the prize item will be an LM that leads you to the next shop in line. Also at each location, you'll see a donation kiosk -- a big version of the hunt item with the unmistakable hover text "Donation Kiosk" over it. PLEASE consider donating as you go on this hunt. 1L, 5L, 100L, whatever you feel you are able to donate.

This is such an important cause, and a personal one for many of us. For me, my cousin contracted HIV/AIDS, and unwittingly passed it on to her son while pregnant with him. They both live with this reality every day. Many millions around the world do.

My hunt prize item includes a unisex fedora hat, with a matching neck bow for the ladies'(similar to the one I released earlier this week), and for the men, a brand-new creation: A sculpted tie with a gold and silver tie-pin. Both the neck bow and tie pin have a prim into which you can drop a picture of an SL/RL loved one you wish to keep close to your heart.

I've chosen to stick with red ad the prize colors as it represents the color of the cause.

I hope you enjoy this prize, and the many prizes of all the participating designers. Be sure to check out the link to the GLBT World Stamp Out AIDS blog to check out the shops and other announcements (there are other events planned connected to this fund-raiser).

Velvet Lush

That's the name of the new release :) Used my friend Velvety's (Alpha-Delta Designs owner) grunge line of textures in this, and it actually came out looking like a rich, velvety kind of texture on the big bow choker and matching fedora hat that I made. Releasing this set today, as the rest of the week I'll be running around like crazy for Thanksgiving hehehe, as I'm sure many of you will be as well (happy Thanksgiving, btw!)

The hat and choker are both texture-change, resize and re-position by menu. The choker features a little locket hanging from the laced gem that you can drop a pic into.

This is kind of a preview for the hunt gift that I'll be featureing in the Stamp Out Aids hunt that starts on December 1, not long from now! In that hunt, I'll be offering a version of this release, with the hat, and an little addition for the guys as well ;) My theme for the Stam Out AIDS hunt is going to be red, and I'm making the point of making sure there's a 'locket feature' to my prizes in this hunt, as I want my gifts to you to offer you a way of commemorationg anyone in your life who might be living with the realities of HIV/AIDS.

Take a look at the links to blogs that's off to the right of this blogpost. You'll find the link to the AIDS hunt there. Be sure to check it out, it's a lengthy list of some top-notch designers. Don't miss out on it!

Clothes, Hunts, Grand-opening, Prizes, Giveaways, woot!

Well I officially closed up my main store at Riff Raff Paradise, and my main store's new home is definitely Thunderstruck Radio Land! Woo hoo! I hope you all get a chance to come on down and visit us there. Lots of celebration going on ... the Winter Thunderland Hunt is a hit so far. I've got a piercing and one version of today's new release hidden in snowmen in my shop ;) Alpha-Delta has piercings and textures in her snowmen, Jagz has one of her pose props, Touch Me has one of her beautiful outfits in hers, Adlerblick Shapes has one of his awesome men's shapes, Karfields Shapes has one of her shapes, Rebel Fairey has one women's necklace and one men's piercings, *ZOE* Decor has a fine piece of furniture in hers, seriously, this can't be missed! We have some amazing designers and I need to thank each and every one for making this hunt one of the best ones we've had!

My new releases today is a set of knit, 'ruined' sweaters with matching gloves that come with prim top attachments. Below is just the pink, but I've also got it in blue and 'burnt':


What I'm REALLY psyched about is the grand opening of The Whip'n Post. This is the brainchild of my wonderful friends and partners in crime Vel and Thor (Thor will be DJing woot!). The Whip'n Post is a Classic Rock/Blues club. To celebrate the opening of this wonderful place, we're planning giveaways from Karfields Shapes, *ZOE*, Alpha-Delta and Jagz. These are seperate and different prizes from what is being made available in the hunts ;), so be sure to stop on by! RGK is providing group join gifts sooooo, there's absolutely NO reason NOT to come! The par-TAY starts at 4 p.m., come join us and help us crack this place open the right way!

Move and Grand Opening Of New Location!

Wow, it's been a whole month LOL! What can I say other than RL has been taking up some time, and since it comes first, I guess I just had to set my blogging aside for a while. Sorry!

In the meantime, Halloween has come and gone, and it's time for me to announce that RGK's main store is moving again, woot! I'm really excited about this move. RGK and Alpha-Delta Designs, which is run by my very good friends Vel and Thor, are joining forces to bring to you Thunderstruck Radio Land. Vel is a marketing/business genious, and she has her hands in making clothing, piercings, builders' textures AND running a radio station! We've been working together for months now sharing ideas, info on marketing tools, she shares her textures with me, blah blah blah LOL. We found a great place to put our forces together on and ... well... ther eyou have it!

Thunderstruck Radio Land is where Thunderstruck Radio is based, and it is where DJ Thor will often spin his amazing mix of blues and classic rock tunes from. It is also home to Blues/Classic Rock club The Whip'n Post, ANNNNND home to some awesome shopping ;)

Stores that are all set up there in addition to RGK and Alpha-Delta are:

Last, but definitely not least, is the grand opening events coming up on Saturday! The Whip'n Post has planned for DJ Thor to play his awesome tunes from 4 p.m., during which there will be many prizes given away by some of the designers mentioned above.

Also as part of our grand opening, The Winter Thunderland Hunt will also start on Saturday. The designers you see in the ad below are all participating in the hunt, and will hid in their shops a little snowman that has a prize just for you ;) See if you can't find them all!
