Twisted Hunt

Twisted Hunt (Grid wide treasure hunt) will be on from March 1st to 31st. My store will be participating.

The gift will be something new, and way better than that of ordinary freebies, so make sure you mark your calender.

Merger of Xstreet and LL....

It has been announced last evening that LL and Xstreet(and On rez) agreed on the merger.

My first impression is unsettling, sickening feeling yet no way to put a finger to it. No details has been disclosed as to what will happen, other than for the most part. In the FAQs, what I can tell that Xstreet will work as it is.

I have not been updated nor added much on Onrez since the days of Sl boutique, so I will not be affected directly on that part. However, I know that either political reason or usability of browser functions, many preferred to use Onrez, which understandably expressed the displeasure of the practical demise of Onrez.

Another is that virtual taxation. Now that Xstreet is LL, fear of implementation of *taxation on in world purchase transaction.* This has been a joke from the time I joined SL, but from what I can see, becoming very much real fear that LL will gradually move towards tax on every transaction made on SL.

Xstreet's commission had different meanings. They are the income source of Xstreet which were independent from SL activity.

Now that these two are merged, the merchant has to pay for two different classified, one quite useless , and the one on Xstreet will be taken over by flood frivorous classifieds as the one in world.

At this point, LL is just collecting reaction on public, no answers to any practical questions. So we just have to watch.

The business models on in world store and Xstreet has been somewhat separate. Now, I have to come up how to implement the new system efficiently. (I am just so stressed out about this. Just because no detail was made clear about the merger. )

Price reduction on unscripted Top Hats 100-120L

My top hats are now 100L -120 L(few of them are even double pack) except for resize scripted current model. (They are 250L , slightly reduced as well)

Inquire if you want something custom made.

Daini Ken +Gothic Colors+ for goth cowboy hats

Goth Cowboy hat with 4 skulls on front.

Now comes in 6 +Gothic Colors+

(No, there are no such things as gothic colors. Just that all the color options in SL seems to be limited in *edit window colors* maybe except by Silent Sparrow.)

New distressed leather texture, color, shadings are baked on. This is not the default white texture, colored with edit box.

I (The model in the picture, if you didnt know already) am wearing +Incubus jade+
+Bloodraven, +Castle Midnight, +Darkmoss,+ Gothic Violet, +Ruined Brown come in a box.

Now, the price.
This box is listed in Xstreet (former Sl exchange) as 1750L for copy permission, with resizer script. Not that much of a discount from 1870L value. However, if you visit my in world store from the link on the right, You can get the different permission sets for 900L, which is over 50%off from individual product bought separately.

*Transfer option with resizer script. No mod, no copy
*Mod, Copy, No transfer. Unscripted

Individual unscripted items in copy, mod permission is also available for 300L each.

Logo Experiment

This is about the time for me to prepare the store sign/logo for the next year. I was experimenting(playing. really.) with few samples.

My brain is so set up in an analog graphic way that each element is almost composed in my head as if to cut and paste screen tones and typeset placing.

hmmmm do I need any subtle hues ? .... (talking to my self)

Holiday limited edition Hair adornment and lucky chair

Lucky chair is now in the main store. It doesn't cycle thru junks. For now, there is a private collection (previously unreleased, and ever ) voodoo hat in there.
It is more for a limited time. And at time that certain number of avatar claimed enough number of prize in total, it will be gone.














Hair adornment.
3pack for 100L

Holiday edition is scripted to make particle xmas tree .
/4 tree on
/4 tree off

Tree is just bubbling and it does not go all over. If you dance with it on, you will see the trees trails your path. They are very modest in size, so it will not annoy everyone in the room.
One of the fun stuff only possible in SL.

Grab one for party season.

Daini Ken sim/ Main store location now OPEN!!!

Daini Ken Designs sim

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Daini%20Ken/232/27/601/?title=Main%20store%20sim

If you have old landmark and profile picks, please update it to this location. My store is always accessible from my profile picks as well.

Good thing about having my own sim is that I can set my own club events as I like. (previous location was not allowed to have clubs)
So I set up new lounge space in the cozy corner of main store floor, where you can just chill between your power shopping trip or just to get away from all the drama whores and stalkers.

I do not advertise my sim with industrial strength ad campaign, so this place always be the hidden gem in your SL landmarks.

i may have sale events for opening celebration, so I will keep you posted.
