This is so not HOT

Forgive my Paris Hilton for a second...



I was innocently tped to a sim (which shall remain nameless due to the fact that a mere mention may sound like I'm actually promoting them) where someone had bought a sculpt pack of real toes from off SL Exchange.



The proceeded to sell 99 linden shoes for an obscene amount. Now I realize these sculpt packs are there to help and aid designers. But they are a tool. You have to use them with good textures to make a phenomenal pair of shoes.



Im not saying Stiletto Moody's has the best real toe shoes or she was the first, however she PERFECTED the game. Do you know how bad those other shoes look like when compared to a pair of moody's. They arent on the same level, same planet, same SL Solar system.



If your going to compare yourself to Stilettoo Moody, take the time to bake your texture, make sure the hud to the shoes work right so people dont have green feet with their sexy carmel skin. I find this to be an embarassment you would even compare yourself in a league with designers who worked hard on their textures, who paid attention to details, who worked to give you a great product.



So for everyone out there stop buying knock off Jamaica Ave (aka Flea Market) stiletto moody's there are other options to real toes by designers who did a good job with the skin matching huds. If you cant afford 8k for a pack. Try somewhere else but dont get caught DEAD in Stilettoo Ooeys that your paying over 1k for. If you want the knock offs that bad go on SL Exchange I think they now sell them for like 10l's.



Like really

Nympholism says...


Keep it sexy...What she misses is keep it edgy, keep the designs clean, stay true to consistent quality. All those apply to her designs.
With an eye for fashion she wields her CS4 (cause CS3 is soooooooooo last season) with an eye for details. Whether a woman wants to drape herself in the bollywood sexy feel of her Toxic Red Outfit (think Brittany Spears before the kids, sexy stomach ...SANE... with TALENT) to her Peko Caddy, for the sophisticated woman, "Stop breathing on my couture."
Michella Ellis, owner and designer of Nympholism hits the mark. Whether its her fun playful outfits or her couture queen looks. With prices so low (I don't even want to whisper them to you for fear you will crash the sim teleporting and fighting over the outfits) you have to wonder does she know how excellent she is.
Shes a fashion and budget friendly designer. Able to give you quality designs at a price guaranteed to make your SL AMEX sigh in relief. Just remember your doing your part to stimulate the SLconomy.
So I know your say where can I find this devastatingly talented designer?

Remember ladies looking good is NOT AN OPTION.

I have a problem

One day shortly after my join date on secondlife of September 2, 2007 I started to stalk secondlife shoe stores. Now stalk is a strong word, but when you make your rez point and home point a shoe store you may be making the store owner nervous. After spending over 10k in one day at Minx shoes (I still love you even though your customer service sucks immensely and you havent updated your store shoes in over 8 months) I realize that if I spend time I can find the best in shoes on second life. I spent the last going on 2 years amassing a shoe collection that would make you cry.

During my quests I was fortunate to also find stores with some of the most gorgeous textures known in game. I realize that some of the "urban look" I had been wearing were complete trash based on what other designers were doing in game.

So then I had to move away from my shoe quest for a clothes quest, then a jewlery quests, then a pose quests, etc.

This promoted me to start a group called SL Shopping Spree where I spoke to some of the hottest designers and said hey. I know people who love to shop for GOOD stuff so why dont you give us a sale and we will always come to you 1st for our second life clothing. Guess what?!?!?! Egads it worked

The group has grown, the stores are always improving and the sales have become far more reasonable.

Listen designers I love you all. But if I go into one of my favorite stores and find out after a 4 months hiatus you do a "new outfit" thats really a old outfit with new colors and double the price IM A SHOPPER IM GOING TO KNOW.

Dont play your fan base.
