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!

SL and Building sometimes don't mix

Surprising but true! And the pics you see represent the level to while SL frustrated me last night while I was working on my latest LOL

Smoking a joint AND a ciggy all at once ... seriously, how sad is that?

So, was working on a new FUN project .... well, they're all fun but been feeling like the last several have been very "serious" as in, not funny. Pretty and all that, but not FUNNY, which is my fave thing to do really. SO, broke out all the fun sculpt maps I've been collecting and the scripts I've also been collecting, and kinda tossing them all in one pot! Woot! So far it's been a blast to CONCEIVE, but putting it together is yet another story

ESPECIALLY when SL won't let me like, copy stuff ... or appear not to and then all of a sudden I end up with 50 cubes scattered all over the place or ... makes my scripts look like they're not working ... or ... or ... or ... Yeah, was pulling my hair out last night omg.

The joint and the cig ARE involved in the new build thought ... exactly how is what you'll need to stay tuned for to find out :))

Yes, they ARE the freebie ones that you can get but ... how they're incorporated into my new thing I think will make up for that fact ;)) Wanted to be upfront about THAT part so y'all don't think I'm trying to pull wool over yer eyes.

Anyway, I'm having a blast making it when SL lets me. I hope you enjoy wearing it when I'm all done with it as much as I've enjoyed putting it together *snickers*

VOTE ON THE NEXT PRIZE!

Well, it IS RGK CUSTOM Photo Services, so figured it made the most sense to let group members and blog-followers be the ones to decide what will be offered for the next Midnight Mania prize :)

On Saturday, I'll be updating the two MM boards I've got going right now (one at the main store location, the other at my new location at Shadow Realm), and you all get to decide what goes in!

So, if you've had your eye on something or if you missed out on a prize that was previously offered, this is your chance to let me know! Make your choices known (you can suggest two, since there are two MM boards) by posting to this blog. If you can remember the name of the item, great, but if not, describe it as best you can and I'll probably be able to figure out what you're talking about :))

The top two suggestions/votes will be used as the MM prize for the upcoming week. If you're not quite sure you remember what the offerings are, hop over to the main store at Statesboro and take a browse through.

Thanks, and good luck all!

New location and an exhibit!

Wooow, that Midnight Mania board has been KICKIN' MY ASS LOL. Ever since I started up with that, all sorts of GOOD stuff's been happening, including group membership just skyrocketing -- but consequently been running all over checking numbers and posting slurls to groups to make sure they get locked down for y'all etc. etc.. It's blowing my mind, and soooo coooooool. Thanks so much to all of you who are out there watching and supporting!

Well out of the Midnight Mania, has come a really great thing. Found an awesome new location for RGK at a sim called Shadow Realms. PLEASE check my picks and take a look not just at my store but the sim as a whole. I'm in love with it. The people who run the place are incredibly nice, and they have a really well-put-together place going. They have lots of nice vendors there including my friend Velvety Avro, who owns Alpha-Delta Designs (I usually wear her piercings now, pretty much exclusively cuz they're just that good), who loved the sim so much herself that she's setting up her main store location there now as I write.

If you're reading the blog, that means you get a little heads up about an unannounced sale (well, except to group members muahahaha) at the Shadow Realms sim. There's a 'secret' 50% off sale going on there now -- no signs, just everything marked down by half or more to encourage you to do your RGK shopping there. There's also a new MM board there as well, so keep your ears open for that :)

Finally, ALTAQUALITAS, is apparently an exhibition of some vendors that this sim owner likes? At least that's my understanding. My Spanish is minimal and while she speaks really great English, it's not her first language so ... I hope I'm understanding what she told me correctly. Either way, I've got a location/exhibit set up there as well, and there are some really nice looking designers in that location that I've never seen before. You should be able to find them doing a search and just tp over OR, you can ask me for the LM, would be glad to send to you when I'm in-world :))

**PHEW**

OK, that's all the new stuff. Need to update my flickr some more, be sure to check that out.

Gonna do some fun stuff with that here once I have the chance to catch my breath a bit (will that ever really happen????)

Okies, hope y'all got thru all that all right. Hello? *nudges you awake*
