Wow that was fun!

Posted by Isobel DeSantis in Shows & Events

The Fashion Show JM Models put together for us on Friday went absolutely flawlessly and was great fun! Jewell and Kandiecain and the girls all did magnificently. We had a great host in Gunthor Allen who cracked jokes to help us all relax before the start and then did a wonderful job as our announcer. I did not fall off the stage or walk into Connie and even managed to say something reasonably coherent at the end, so all that rehearsal paid off! Thank you ALL so much for making this such a great experience for us.

Below are some pics from the brochure JM put together for us; I’ll get it put in the store as well so you can grab it and wear it as a HUD if you feel so inclined :)

I also got a very cool gallery plugin working so if you click here or on the “Designs” link above, you will be able to look through pics of all my current designs either as a slideshow or as a picture list from which you can click and see larger close-ups. I will eventually get this linked to my OnRez store and put all my designs there, so you’ll be able to get gifts for example by going through this site or direct to OnRez.

Enough talk, here are the pics :D

My IMs are sent to my email, so even if they’re capped inworld I do usually get to read them.

I’m in the UK so I am normally in SL 6am - 4pm SLT Saturday - Tuesday and 12 noon - 4pm SLT Wednesday - Friday. I’m not working during all those hours though, so please understand if I can’t get back to you immediately. I appreciate how frustrating it is to buy something and not receive it because of SL issues, but I promise to do my best to resolve any problems as quickly as possible. If you need something to be resent, please let me have the date and time of your purchase (you can find this on your Transaction History page on the Second Life website) otherwise it could take me days to find it!

I do spend some time every day in my main store but I’m not there all the time. Rina is a great substitute though and I’ve been told she’s quite a bit cuter too!

(Angels) Dream range

Dream is a high-heeled sandal, hand-set with diamond or matching precious stones and with a gemstone heel tip. It comes in a range of 11 fabulous colours to co-ordinate and complement many outfits.

As usual with all (Angels) designs, an additional Left shoe contains an optional sexy walk for situations where you don't want to use your AO.

Silver Star high heeled sandals come in 10 shades of soft, velvety suede with silver heel and straps. A diamond trim in a co-ordinating shade highlights the toes and ankles.

All (Angels) shoes come with an additional Left shoe containing a sexy walk, for those times when an AO isn't appropriate.

Salsa is a stunning two-tone slingback in 5 hot colour combinations, plus Midnight Silver and Midnight Gold for those of us who can never have too many black shoes.
The flower trim is also in two colours and the silver heel is delicately tipped.
Of course, there is an extra Left shoe with sexy walk.

Who is Isobel DeSantis?

And why should you care anyway? :D Well, I like to know a little about the people I meet in Second Life so I thought I’d share something about me. And if this is of no interest to you, feel free to skim down the page or navigate away from it altogether - I promise I won’t be offended :-P

I would describe myself as easily addicted and just as easily distracted .. the curse of always wanting to know more, do more, be more. For the last 6 years, consciously using the Law of Attraction has revolutionised my life - and most thanks is due to Abraham as expressed by Esther Hicks for their unfailing love and total congruency. If you want to know more about my beliefs and what really makes me tick, this site is the place to start. But be warned, it may not be what you expect!

Since 1 January 2007, Second Life® has become a passion, a source of joy, creativity and income - and the most intense love of my life. Punisher is my SL husband, my best friend and my twin soul, the one who really “gets” me. We met on our first day in SL and we’ve been each other’s second lives ever since. We’ve met in RL too, and although we live on different continents, we have a bond that nothing can break. He’s just opened his own store near mine on West Sunset sim, where he’ll be displaying his furniture designs. Take a look at ArchAngels next time you’re in the area :)

If you’ve visited my store, you’ve almost certainly met Rina, my amazing Chow Chow, and possibly Sian who’s an Australian Shepherd and the newest addition to our family. Rina loves to greet visitors and you can now pet her (right click on her and you’ll see the new option).

Boring facts: I’m female (really! :-P), I live in the UK and I teach in a further education college part-time.

What is (Angels)?

(Angels) is my baby, my creative outlet. I’ve been concentrating on shoe design so far, but I have plans to extend that in the near future.

(Angels) shoes are elegant and sexy, in lots of vibrant colours to co-ordinate and complement a wide range of clothes. They’re the kind of shoes I wear, or would like to wear in RL. And I’m just as much of a shoe freak there as I am in SL! I have 50+ pairs of shoes in my RL wardrobe (recently culled from over 75 pairs) and most of them are high heels.

Many of my designs are inspired by and designed to match my friend Constanza Volare’s dresses and outfits. We actually met while camping; Connie got stuck in a dance anim and I gave her my StopAllAnims rose. Then I seem to recall we would let each other know if we were by a lucky chair with the other’s name on it; I ended up with some very strange freebies, I’m not sure if Connie fared any better! lol

I remember very clearly seeing her first dress, Magic - I was stunned! I didn’t actually know until quite recently that Connie is a rl designer so I was more than a little impressed with her first effort. In contrast, my first pair of shoes were .. well, let’s say when I offered them to friends they suddenly found a reason to be elsewhere :-) I was probably the direct cause of several crashes around that time, as they tried to tp away! I still have those shoes, I should probably post a pic of them. Or maybe not. :-P

We collaborate sometimes as AlchemyAngels and we recently had a Fashion Show together, as you’ll see on the main page.

Currently I’m working on a new range that will incorporate sculpties. What I love about SL is that there’s always something new to learn :)

Special Event - AlchemyAngels Fashion Show!

Posted by Isobel DeSantis in Shows & Events

As Connie said on our old AlchemyAngels blog, on Saturday evening JM Models are putting on a fantastic show for us and we’d love to see you there! They’ve produced a wonderful brochure, we’ve both been interviewed (separately!) and we’ll be showing the latest items in our ranges, so it’s going to be a fun evening with maybe some surprises. It starts at 6pm slt and we’re really excited about it and about meeting as many of you as possible. And yes, we will make an appearance at the end, no doubt desperately holding on to each other so if we do fall off the stage, at least we go together! :)
