Ghee

 

For today, Netera Landar writes about a women's wear store in Second Life: Ghee. Owned by Sophia Paez Serendipity, it's noted for clothes made by Warm Clarity. By joining the store group, one gets access to a number of good outfits for practically nothing. But the place offers more than bargains. Netera found some classic styles that stood out and looked great.

Zan's Clothing Store

 

At Steelhead, and Caledon, is a store where you can get some quality Victorian-period clothing: Zan's.

 

Zantyago Mannonen is the owner and tailor of the store. He has spent over a decade in Second Life making suits and dresses. When mesh came to Second Life, he soon started making outfits with it. Today, he has a large variety of clothes for sale. 

 

Most of Zan's clothing is Victorian Age fashion, great for going about a steampunk-themed community, an outfit for some parties, or if you just want to look fashionable. But not all of it is 19th Century, as he does have a line of "retro 80s" skirts, sweaters, and shirts. There's even some clothing available for those who prefer 'taur bodies. And it's not just clothes that are available. There's also some items of furniture up for sale.

Zan's has two locations. One store is in Caledon South End, where his profile states where he keeps some of his "special" items. The other, the main location, is in Steelhead Bay. One can buy inworld at those locations, or the SL Marketplace store. 

 Caledon location - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Caledon%20SouthEnd/162/104/24

Main location - http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Steelhead%20Bay/109/174/32

 

Marketplace - https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/58846

Addition: I was recently told by a reliable source that the Caledon store has recently closed. 

The Jerky Turkey Hunt

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, Shaza Denver stumbled across a shopping event that's sure to be gravy to fans of hunts: the Jerky Turkey Hunt. Taking place every November, this year's hunt offers over fifty prizes. Shaza shows off a few examples of what those taking part can find.

Zan's at Steelhead Bay

If you're looking for some Victorian/Steampunk wear, one place you should check out is Zan's in Steelhead Bay. Owned by Zantyago Mannonen, I went to check the store out. He has many good clothes both from the Victorian era and from other times that take the fashion as a frame of reference.  I would recommend this store to anyone who is interested in Victorian wear.

I had a few words with Zantyago. "Steelhead was looking for tenants, and I was looking for a place to set up a big shop," he told me about the store. He previously had a location in the old Steelhead Estates. He couldn't remember where he started, but Zan's really took off after he released his first male suit.  Zantyago was amazed by the response and that particular suit is still a strong seller. Zantyago then shaped and combined dresses he had already created to make new stuff.  The Blazer Belle is a great example.  That one is popular.

"I began doing this more seriously because I lost my real-life job and  I had the realization that I'm not cut up for office nonsense," said Zantyago, ."I am still studying chemistry which is my career and I had some great people that helped me and encouraged me." He then brought up the group, "Iron Sharpens Iron, which is a group of skilled people."  When asked about the Iron Sharpens Iron, he said, "Surrounding yourself with skilled people and show your works, and most important, listen to what they have to say." Zantyago explained that the group mostly disbanded, but those aviation people were great help, and good crazy fun.

Zantyago makes Victorian and occasionally clothing from other eras that take the Victorian era as a frame of reference. There are outfits for both men and women, coming in both mesh and prim. He sells to both owners of furry and human avatars, and has a line of shoes made for furs. He has a cute set with color changing abilities. Zantyago went on to say that there are clothes in pastel colors coming soon. Another excellent outfit is a collaborative effort with Amy Parker Tapkoinu Resident, "Zan's Little Lady Dress."

I would recommend this store to anyone who is interested in Victorian clothes.

Three Different Looks For Cold Weather

Winter is coming, and shopping venues and communities alike will be giving their places a blanket of snow and sometimes falling snowflakes. So one will feel a little out of place with summer wear. On the other hand, you won't be spending all your time outdoors, and the ladies will want something a little more fashionable than a parka. Mylie Foxclaw has been on the look for some winter wear, and found a few stylish looks.

SL Video: "The Drax Files: World Makers - Episode 38: Eboni Khan "

(Click here if the video fails to load)

By Draxtor Despress on June 8, "'My income from my Second Life sales enabled me to raise my son after I was laid off during the recession!' says fashion designer Eboni Khan who started her Hucci brand of virtual female clothing over 10 years ago: 'I think SL has helped many single mothers to become independent business owners that way. The barrier of entry is low and - if you are good and work hard - you can immediately build up an international customer base!'

"And as one may expect - since Eboni Khan is mostly known for making high quality shoes and sexy dresses - she is unapologetic when it comes to the often heard criticism that VR is nothing more than escapism: 'Everyone needs a bit of escapism when life is hard. There is absolutely nothing wrong with living a glorious fantasy life online!'

"A college graduate who grew up in a middle class family surrounded by academics, Eboni Khan credits her interactions in Second Life for becoming a more tolerant person: 'You meet people from all walks of life and all age groups. It forces you to question your own assumptions about people who are different from you, every day. We become more open rather than closed in an environment like this!'"

"The Courage Event: A Fundraiser for Alberta Canada"

Among the stories in real life news is the massive fire in the province of Alberta Canada, which has gotten so bad, the entire population of the city of Fort McMurray, about 60,000 people, was ordered evacuated, the largest ever in the province. A group in Second Life, "Models Giving Back," has decided to help. "The Courage Event" fundraiser is taking place high above the Akh sim. According to the information, the money will be going to the Canadian Red Cross. People can either buy dresses and other items, the proceeds going to charity, or donate directly to the charity. The event goes on until the end of the month.

So many people have been affected by the devastating wildfires in Alberta, Canada that continue to rage. There are those that need even just the basic necessities after loosing it all, many with no jobs to even return to after the fire is out. The Canadian Red Cross is doing all they can to help and have a plea out for donations. From May 15th – 31st – The Courage Event here in SL brings together 38 designers, and over 50 exclusive items that will not be sold again with proceeds going to the Canadian Red Cross. Come and Shop and support a VERY worthy cause.

There's a wide variety of outfits there, including this one by Bare Rose, which is non-copy transferable, and can be given as a gift. Bare Rose also has a TP to the event.

More information can be found at the event website at: https://revampedevent.wordpress.com/ , or in this article written by Inara Pey.
