Footwear Expo & Dusk Rental



2008 SL Footwear Expo

The inaugural Footwear Expo is over. Phoenix Chapman and the rest of the crew did such a great job of organising, building and being available and approachable. As a first-time exhibitor I couldn't have hoped for better. From the official blog I see they raised over L$850,000 for the ASPCA which is fabulous!

As a fairly unknown designer who works in a niche market, the exposure was brilliant! I had increased sales both at the expo and at my main store and had a large number of new people vising my store to see my full range. If any newer designers are offered this sort of opportunity in the future, in any area of SL building/design, I would encourage them to jump at it!

Being maths girl, as is my want (shuupp!), I worked out that my shop's contribution to the fundraising total was just a few linden short of $L14,000 - based on 65 exhibitors that puts me slightly above average. So, big yay from a small designer and a huge thank you to everyone who shopped or just visited and took the time to look further. I am truly grateful and hugely surprised!

Dusk Rental

We currently have one plot available to rent in Dusk - it is 4096m (937 prims) for $L2000 per week.

Dusk is a themed gothic, fae, fantasy and dark age sim offering beautiful residential land for rent. Plots surround an enchanting fae grove which is a common area for all residents to share.

IM Severina Dollinger or Azazeal Whitfield for more info or visit the island and have a look around.
