I have had some interesting conversations this past few days, and a lot of it has been about New Residents.I turned 2 the other day, and as I have mentioned in the past, as have many others, a lot has changed in that two years in Phils Place.
We have grown to ginormous proportions, but one thing has changed noticeably, or perhaps actually without notice at all. Everything is FASTER! have you noticed that?. When I came in world, yes I was brought in and yes morphed within 30 minutes by my friend and his friends, but never felt inundated by that, just went with the flow, day two I was already settled where I planned on being and then took my time learning things, had helpful advice from the people that owned where I was, didn't find out until I was already too old that Gurl 6 had her free hair deal, but had money and already had by then bought lots of hair - lol so I thought at the time - so just shopped there happy to find more.
Had sooo many freebies from places that used to pack them all into one box and spent hours every day unpacking at my leisure and oooing and ahhhing over my treasures. I remember my first lesson on uploading a picture and making a prim and thinking that my semi transparent luis royo print with water animation added was the best thing since sliced bread.
But now its, omg did you get the skins from Adam n Eve?, and did you go to Fleur yet?, you have to mod your shape?, and learn this? ,do that know this?, go there. I mean half the grid of females can all probably admit to wearing the Passport Malibu skin by Starley for at least a month if not more when they started out, and everyone was happy.
We used to joke about shopping more than any amount of events could possibly happen to wear them all to, but now thats quadrupled in volume - don't get me wrong I'm all for shopping. Thing is now there are so many more events, Openings, Hunts , Fundraisers, Promotions, Pageants, Fashion Shows and so many other occasions that happen constantly.
It's getting exhausting just trying to work them all into some kind of order, never mind actually attending them, and if they conflict OMG which do you go to, or can you go to both if enough time overlaps.I know how hard it is for myself and many others that have been in world for an extended period of time, we know what we can manage and if we work or own businesses, we know that we cant spread ourselves that thin.
But New people don't, they get this crazy fast tracked explanation of what Phils Place is all about, when we are convinced we are helping, and yes we are in a way, but to what point, yes I know myself I have my folder ready to pass on and say ok here is all these landmarks no go get all that stuff so you can look a certain way and then have fun. I realised though last night I dont tend to tell them to do that folder at a slow pace, that they have a month for some and a few weeks for others to obtain the goodies.
We used to tell people to go to sandboxes and learn how to unpack things and try on things and spend time learning the basics, I can't remember the last time I taught anyone to unpack a box.I know that a lot of my dealings with new Residents is when they are trying to get their first hair etc, and so I do teach them some basics when going through those points, but it amazes me daily when dealing with even older residents as in at least 6 months old, that they don't know where to find transaction information , the way Phils Place is lately that is something you MUST KNOW!.
I found torleys tutorials at the end of last year early this year, not sure when its all a blur, but it blew my mind that I didn't know about them, and yes they might not be what everyone needs to watch but why the hell isn't that on the front page of the website?, there are valuable bits of info in them, why don't they have those tips and tricks right at the start?.
Also recently I had a girl spam our group, I IM'd her informed her that what she had done will not be tolerated again etc etc, when I spoke to her she was mortified, her reason to do so wasn't to spam it was to share, the people that owned the store she spammed the slurl to had treated her so nicely in her first few days in world that she thought she would let people know of their business, so cute and I actually really believed her... she felt so bad that she may have ruined their reputation she was going to write them a note card saying what she had done and apologise.
Believe me I dont for a second believe all are doing it for that reason, but how many get promises of money or products to do that and don't actually realise its not just advertising, I mean person A says to New Person B 'I will pay you to send messages to other residents using these steps " I mean how would a new person really know that thats not a process in Phils Place like mail box brochures in RL. I would think it would make a lot of sense when looking at it from the terms of ' Yeah the Mothership only gives us 25 groups and I cant send notices to all that need to know the info because of those limits, so if you join 25 or even swap them over and send my notices for me I will pay you " sounds normal to me, but it isn't .
Bigger groups are having to pay for subscribe-o-matics to stop the constant spamming, and for the most part those people are always new to Phils Place. Also with all the failed deliveries and stale transactions of late, so many businesses are constantly trying to keep up with customer issues and never actually have time to create as much as they want to.
Thats the other thing that New Residents dont understand until a long enough amount of time in Phils Place, the fact that the Mothership has issues daily... it is not some crazy scam that designers are orchestrating to part them with their moola, but actual technical difficulties, and when people are New they tend to only associate with other New people, so that info doesn't get passed on too easily either. I don't know what my actual reason for this post is, other than we need to step back a bit, slow down, something that will level out the status quo or something.
I almost wrote a post a few weeks back, that was going to be titled 'I hate Designers in Seclusion' oh lordy that would have been interesting to watch see people take it all wrong, the idea of the post was going to be based on the fact that many designers are more than just group members, they really are cut off from everything, trying so hard to create and manage their businesses, and at what cost?.
Phils Place is the only 24/7 operating 365 days a year industry that I know of, it may be virtual but the computers don't work the people do, and they work hard. Every single day Designers and Creators and Staff log on and deal with what has occurred in the time that they may have taken a few hours sleep, or had to drive the kids to school or in a lot of cases, work their full time RL jobs.
But that doesnt stop Phils Place or even slow it down, I have seen many comments and heard general chat about the Hunts and Shows and all those other things that are pulling and stretching everyone so thinly, and I thought WHY ?. Why do we have to get something from Designers constantly to appreciate their talent etc.
I want a different event, I want a HUNT A DESIGNER! I want an INTERNATIONAL DESIGNER APPRECIATION WEEK! like a huge Phils Place wide event where every single Designer/ Creator has a sign up in their stores stating what days and times they can be in their store for a meet and greet . A few weeks back Digit and I had to go set up in the middle of an event at a sim she has a store at, and people that arrived at the store nearly peed their pants that she was there , in person. It was seriously adorable.
They were oooing and aaaaing over her and telling her how much they loved her designs, and how they found her store way back when, and how their special moment was in one of her creations etc etc, and thats not the first time I have seen that happen with designers. People of Phils Place honestly adore meeting the people that create their inventory, last year prior to hair fair I had to take pics of all the Hair Designers, over 50 designers at my house one at a time, I WAS IN HAIR ADDICTS HEAVEN.
Not only did I get to meet some incredible people, but some brought their partners along too and I was in more heaven as many have creative partners as well, lol - if they only knew how excited I was, its amazing I got any pics taken at all. I remember once being tpd to a lucky chair thing at Calla and Sylfie Minogue tpd in, I actually "OMG its Sylfie " 'd into open chat, poor woman, I probably freaked her out lol. That also would happen a lot when designers are shopping I am sure, but if the events were in their own stores or land, in their own Meet and Greet environment IT WOULD ROCK !.
Imagine the themes too, I mean Antonia could have a sock hop at Artilleri, or even a clam bake and we can all dress as Gidget and Moondoggy - Omg I loved him so bad. Sachi could have a ladies luncheon or high tea - she is British after all :P. Six could have a Pyjama Party and we could brush each others hair *giggles*.
I dont know I completely went from one thing to another, but I would just love us all to SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Down and do some events where there is nothing to gain but experience, getting to appreciate the content creators that really enrich our lives, and also to hear experiences of their own Phils Place lives, In my years here I have heard many stories of how one designer started out because they were so inspired by another and so on.I also know that many designers are inspired by their customers for one reason or another, whether its by a nice notecard sent to them when they were starting out, or just the fact that every time they release something that person is the first to tp in. But often due to other things going on Designers dont get to spend quality time talking to people that they would love to take a few moments to talk to.
Also not only do content creators have to do this, but also all the other industries, the fashion show people, the modeling agencies, EVERYONE that provides a Service - hee hee at my Have To :P.
Hell each event could be STORY TIME at Phils Place lol. No one take this as me saying that all those other events are bad, they arent, they keep Phils Place lively and are also wonderful ways to meet wonderful people, and lots of people put incredible amounts of time into throwing them. Anyway thats my rant/thunk of the day.

Cheeky Red
When I was 16 there was the release of a Fragrance in RL called Lou Lou, now for some reason - and I have no idea why- House of Nyla has always reminded me of that fragrance, and those 'Have you seen Lou Lou " commercials.
There is always something so desirible about House of Nyla releases, I think that a lot of that comes from knowing these are items that are in the real world too, because of the incredible talent that Nyla Cheeky has for creating such incredible pieces, that she then goes on to share with us here.
I guess thats where the Lou Lou comes into it, for many of us House of Nyla RL are pineworthy creations, items we can only dream of having and dream more about actually having places to wear them. But in Phils Place we can have both, we are blessed.
There's also something fabulous in knowing that the creator of such heavenly pieces dresses celebrities in RL too, not only do House of Nyla designs 'look' made for superstars, they are.
The latest release Red Dragon Gown, is something that was designed for a special event RL, a wedding for an Independent Film Director, more info HERE. When you read her own description of what went into the creation of this incredible gown, you really get a glimpse of Nyla herself, she puts everything into her creations...but the most evident is her heart.
I remember when she worked on a dress for the actress from one of the Terminator Movies for a red carpet event, she spent days and nights hand beading the incredible dress, she didn't get much sleep if any over those days, working her fingers to the bone to have it done on time. Then without much of a rest in between, recreating it for us to share.
Though this one doesn't have that same kind of beading it is hand embroidered so again would have taken so many hours of intricate work, its a breathtaking piece and when you take into account all the little additions that Nyla did to make it even more personalised for the couples special day, there is more of it to love.
With the gown you have the incredible gathered silk skirt with drapes of gold and red, then the incredible corset itself that can be worn without the skirt with other gown skirts or on its own with the stunning lace panties, Nyla does wonderful Lingerie also.
Then there are the shoes, incredible beaded mules that would make anyone feel like a Princess, again more incredible labors of love.
I am wearing the Polly updo from TRUTH and the PopFuzz Skin Tan - ♥ Cupcakes Sanguine, adorning my ears and neck are the wonderful Casablanca set in Gold from Essentia.
Make sure you venture over to House of Nyla and explore all the incredible pieces that make her Fashion House something Superb, if not looking for a Gown look anyway as she has shoes, boots, bags, Jewelry , Hats, Silks and as I mentioned Lingerie..and such a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere.
Always thankful for
Essentia for my Beautiful Hair Roses and Jewelry many pieces of which I have watched being made, and had the pleasure of wearing first as they are custom fit to my shape-I'm blessed.
Nuclear Boutique for my lovely Lashes that I wear when I think of it and because Ari is awesome.
My Posestand is by VR and available on OnRez HERE!, not only does it have hide/show, but also has 3 options for changing poses, lights built in you command on/off in chat, and it rezzes a prim sphere around you that allows you to turn your camera 360 degrees and take pics without moving your stand, the sphere also changes colour on chat command too, its brilliant!.
My eyes which I get complimented on all the time are from Minnu Model Skins the MMS Green which I love.
Poses and Stands always used by me while taking pics, even if some end up on cutting room floor:

Maitreya Makes Redheads Purrrr
A month or so ago Onyx Leshelle of Maitreya told me that she was redoing her textures for her wonderful hair. My response of course was NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, but when she gave me a sneak peak at the newness to come that changed to a panting yes yes yes.
Well today they have been unveiled and OMG the hair textures on the NEW styles are just fantastic and whats more incredible is how superb they look on the older styles, giving them a big lift and the hair was already in my opinion fantastic, so now thats super duper fantastic.
The jam hoodies have always been a classic style hiding under the fabulous sculpted hoods and wow they look incredible in the new textures and the hoodies with hair have all been updated so go forth and get your new hoods.
Mayte is a NEW release and the bangs on this are incredible, I love the razor style cut at the back, giving it a layered shaggy look.
Loelle is a retextured older style and again the new textures really bring out a richness to the long straight style, Onyx does fabulous straight hair.
River is again older but the new Reds in the new textures are just so beautiful, if you try and keep true to natural red in Phils Place then the New Textures Copper and Autumn are ones you will Have to Have.
Sophie is in my opinion the style that really started the big love for Maitreya hair, it got so much recognition when it was released as a wonderful all round style, going from casual to formal with ease and still today holds to that.
Sunday is the other New Release style and with its shaggy razor cut, with a shorter length and really long bangs this definitely makes an impression.
Now not all the styles have been redone yet , so what does that mean for you, a SALE yes all older styles that haven't been retextured are reduced to 75L so take advantage of those reductions, but in all honesty you will want the new textures so bad lol.
There are also demos of the hair textures at the sides to the hair sections so make sure and grab those and fall in love like I did.
Skin is the MMSSun-Kissed-makeup5 and Base Make Up from Minnu Model Skins, the Cami tops are also from the Mirli Sweater sets also from Maitreya , so go and get yourself some incredible hair today.

Thank You all
The wheelies fundraiser ended last night in the form of the items being sold around the grid, Id like to thank everyone for their generosity from designers to shoppers and people that spread the word.
The concert Dove organised on Monday was fantastic and if you all get a chance to stop by Wheelies you will see how incredible the place already looks.
I also wanted to thank Washu Zebrastripe from HairSpray who arranged with Polgara to donate her excess land usage tier to the Wheelies group, that was a very generous donation that will keep going. It also made me realise that during hair fair meetings last year around this time Hair Spray was setting up, so I either missed it or its coming up their One Year Anniversary, either way CONGRATULATIONS!.
We raised from our end L$81209 and thats not even including all the wonderful donations that were sent directly to Wheelies, One incredible lady donated 60K herself thank you so much for that as well as every other donation that has occurred in the past week and any that have happened in the past.
With this generosity from all Wheelies will be able to do more incredible things, so again thank you all.

Insolence has gotten Naughtier
When Camilla of Insolence sent me a review pack of Latex I was so excited for a number of reasons.Newness from Insolence for one is always Yummy, but also the idea that someone that usually designs such pretty, Lacey, sheer, sensual pieces of feminine lingerie, to suddenly do a side step into the darker arts -giggles at calling it that, it's not even true but my fingers are possessed.
I have, as you have seen a lot of Latex , and what I love about the New Misty line from Insolence is how incredibly REAL it looks on the body.
Camilla has made some very daring sets too in this line, pieces I cant exactly show you in full form- well I can I just choose not to. You can though see them in full glory on Camilla's Insolence blog HERE.
This is definitely play wear, with the different sets come different overall looks, some with a bit more coverage than the others, but all of them have play features, in the form of open crotch panties, allowing for some very mischievous play time.
The sets also have definite Dominant/Submissive leanings in their designs, some sets are definitely one over the other and so on, which makes for definitely interesting wear, but disregarding labels they are ALL sexy as hell.
Another reason these are fantastic and not just the quality -which is superb - but it gives those wanting this look to spice up their wardrobes more accessibility, and I don't mean items wise, I mean shopping wise.
If you have ever shopped for
Latex in the past, you will find that the majority of it is in malls that specialise in fetish wear and so on .I have no problem with shopping in such areas at all, but then I grew up in the sex capital of Oz, lol so its no different to me than going up the street for cigarettes.
Thats me though, and I know that even though some would love to spice up their boudoir, they aren't always as willing to wander into such steamier sides of Phils Place, and that is TOTALLY understandable.
Insolence now makes that shopping easier, also imagine the next time your partner gives you an Insolence Gift Card for a special occasion and you come back with one of the New Misty line items - grins and imagines the do not disturb sign dangling from some doors.
Dionne the first picture is a wonderful almost full coverage set, this one is probably my favourite of the ones you are able to wear out.Not only is the latex incredible and has a definite tight rubber look to it, the zip work is incredible also.
The hair is one of my all time favourite straight styles , Saleen in Black from Here Comes Trouble which is a 1L styles.
The high high high heels are the Destiny heels from White Rabbit.
Tracey which is the second pic, is a clubbier look you can definitely wear out dancing , and the top to this set would look fabulous with your favourite pair of leather or latex pants, or even jeans, the style definitely has you strapped in nice and tight.
Keeping to that strapped in tight look I went with the Lilith boots by Dark Eden and the thigh pieces from the Lilith set, if your going for the boots, at the price you are crazy to not get the set as all the pieces are fab to mix with other things. The hair is another style from Here Comes Trouble called Lavonne, a bit more pulled back for nights of dancing.
The third picture which is Sally would have to be probably my favourite for the private times sets , its totally cupless but its more about the shape of the corseting that I am taken with. The thin suspender straps connected to the latex stockings are also yummy, and with the waist cutouts as well its very provocative, with full cut outs also you can always mix with other lingerie, maybe test the waters so to speak.
I am wearing the stunning Astrid Hair from Analog Dog, which I edited a little for the pics to cover up lol - always make a copy of hair before you mess with the prims, I would have been devastated if I had ruined this style, but with a copy I was able to move the front prims to not sink into my chest and cover up the cupless exposure.
The boots are the Ballet boots from The Dominatrix store, and they have new ones with lots more locks, these ones and the others also have removable heels on click, which gives you that true on pointe look when wanted.
The last set is the Grace set and this one is a lot more play time than the others, with the full breast cut outs , and the wonderful chaps pants as well as panties - can you actually call latex under pants panties ? sounds bizarre - whatever you want to call them, you get both options and again the detailing is wonderful.
Thanks to Camilla of Insolence you can now explore your naughtier side with discretion, and gifting is a breeze.
Always thankful for
Essentia for my Beautiful Hair Roses and Jewelry many pieces of which I have watched being made, and had the pleasure of wearing first as they are custom fit to my shape-I'm blessed.
Nuclear Boutique for my lovely Lashes that I wear when I think of it and because Ari is awesome.
My Posestand is by VR and available on OnRez HERE!, not only does it have hide/show, but also has 3 options for changing poses, lights built in you command on/off in chat, and it rezzes a prim sphere around you that allows you to turn your camera 360 degrees and take pics without moving your stand, the sphere also changes colour on chat command too, its brilliant!.
My eyes which I get complimented on all the time are from Minnu Model Skins the MMS Green which I love.

Lavish Feri with Gravy
Ok I dont know if the thought of that is exciting to anyone else, but if you know Feri Beckenbauer the idea of pouring some gravy over him is kind of funny -ok its possibly only me.
Lets put Feri aside for a moment and take a moment to thank God that Old Gravy is back, because I for one am overjoyed that a whole folder of incredible hair can be worn again guilt free.
Katy Angel of Lavish Style sent me her two latest sets, and until yesterday I didn't get the opportunity to pull them out and have a closer look, and they are both just fabulous. They totaly inspired a different look than I usually go for, but had all the pieces to do - which kind of contradicts that first statement I guess.
Lady Goth is the first set, it has lots of lovely pieces to the set, The detailing is wonderful and the use of sheer and ribbon lacing effects give it a sense of lingerie style, but as you can see with the right pieces you can definitely rock it out.
The corset top is wonderful as I said with its sheer texture and the laces, but then my favourite parts are the armbands and the crossover straps at the front. The upper part to this set kept leading me to believe I was inked up, and definitely has a don't mess with me kind of feel to it.
The option of flexi mini, or the flexi mini topped with sheer long skirt are both great options and its what gives it so much versatility, as well as the adorable hotpants. As the set inspired some serious TUDE' I went with the Beckenbauer Productions Chantal Rose Elikapeka boots , wonder if you can guess who those are named after lol, I love Feri's boots they are always like my happy boots , I just clump around in them and feel all goodly.
The hair is the Acid Aeri hair which I havent ever worn in a post before as its so awesome you would all cry you couldnt get it, but now you can with the much anticipated return of Old Gravy, I went by to see if I could find anything New last night but its still under construction , but if you cam in :P the hair I already have is already set for sale and knowing how Old Gravy can be that under construction sign will probably stay there forever lol just to prove what lengths we will go to to get hair lol.
The next set is the Night Whisper set by Lavish Style and there is a great amount of loving for this style.
The top is like incredible chainmalle at the bottom and the lovely silvery breast covering portion of the top has such great shading and gathering it really is top notch work - I really want a gown like that now lol.
You have two options again for skirts, first off the static super mini, that is just great for all AO's , and then the flexi skirt with just a little more length but not much.
The stockings and gloves on this set are an incredible laced up effect, again incredible work, that would not be an easy achievement to create, and you know that you will get lots of options to pull them out and wear them with other combos , you also have the adorable hotpants and there are panties too but lost those somehow - no not that way dirty minded you .
The hair is TRASH , by Old Gravy , when this was released I raced right over to get it, that was at least 3 builds ago, in my time in Phils Place since I found Old Gravy there have been 6 this new one will be the 7th as far as my recollection goes lol.
Just goes to show Oldies are always goodies, this style always made me think of peroxide and heating wand torture, that you have done so much damage to your hair with chemicals and other manipulating tools that thats the look you end up with , isn't it just FAB!.
Feri saved the day again with the wonderful Silver Flame Oi! boots , from Beckenbauer Productions with their as named silver flames up the sides and the fronts of these boots they are perfect for this set and overall look, not too flaming and not too out there , just a nice subtle hint of silver to the already fabulous boots.
The skin I am wearing is again the Arcane skin from TRUTH but in the Ghost tone Ruby Vivid Make Up, as I truly love this tone for Goth without looking like someone painted you with liquid paper.
Lavish style has so many incredible sets like these two from all ranges of looks lingerie to casual to formal so go and take a look asap.
Always thankful for

Summer Time Love
When Kuranosuke Kamachi of Dela passed me the New Kate dresses, all i could think about was the beach.
Especially when I put on the long leggings underneath this wonderful dress, as it just makes me think of swim wear of the early part of last century.
The thing about that though is that it makes for an interesting canvas for an overall resort style look. If resorts aren't your thing, then think Monte Carlo.
So once I had that thought in my head it was all about looking as though I had not a care in the world, and that my only plans were making the most of the day and the transition socially into the night.
I wanted to also show off my new Reptile Sunglasses from Artilleri and the wonderful carpark sale that is on at the moment - when you get to the main store there is a sign to click for the LM to the SALE but it is just around the corner if you feel like the stroll.
Kuranosuke likes using bold prints and colours in her work, and somehow she always makes them look extremely elegant. This dress is no exception, you can make it playful looking, but with a few accessories and some stylish hair you have glam. The cuff bangles that match the Kate dress come with so you are already half way there.
It actualy took me the whole time taking pics to realise that the hair I decided was the perfect look I was going for was also called Kate from Dernier Cri - and yes I finally dyed my second batch, its hard to go from the fabulous blonde but decided that that style needed to be shown off in a rich brunette.
The skin is the Latte tone in Disco make-up by Arcane based inside TRUTH, as I said when I originally posted this skin , it has a definite healthy look to it that I love. All of the wonderful footwear is also by Dela, the wonderful ankle boots called Devon, the Namid sandals with texture change gemstones in the Gold , and the Thaelle Heels without the ankle ribbons - its wonderful having two looks for one shoe.
The Byzantine Choker Chain is by Essentia and the linking for this chain is totally true to the RL link work that has made Byzantine a very popular style, and one I wear often. So if your day is needing that little glam lift then saunter on over to Dela and grab Kate for a day out.
All the poses today are the NEW delish poses from Maitreya , Beau always does incredile poses and stands, so its always exciting with a new set is released and some for the men also.
