Congratulations

To say that it was difficult to choose the top 3 photos for our first photo contest would be an understatement.

So many awesome entries. The creativity and imagination shown by everyone is inspiring.

But, in the end we had to choose. Congratulations to (in no particular order)
Grace Staryk
Chirzaka Vlodovic
Janaina Delvalle

These are our top 3 choices, and now (starting on April 22nd), all of our customers can come to Zullay Designs and vote on your favorite! (Check HERE to see the initial entry with the how-to of the voting).
We would like to send out an honorable mention to Cheri Larnia for excellent work as well (and she'll be getting a special gift).

We are delighted that so many of you took the time to create some really cool shots for our *first* photo contest, that everyone who entered will be receiving an item (in a limited color) from the upcoming Spring/Summer 2009 collections. If you entered, be on the lookout for some incoming yumminess this weekend when I'll be sending them out!

Thanks everyone!

For a great cause

The RFL Clothing Fair begins today, and I'll be donating all of the proceeds from the "Pirate Grace" set to the cause. The theme is "Pirates" and Grace is how I do pirates...chic and sexy.

I'm hesitant to reveal much about my personal life, but cancer hits very close to home for me . My mother died of cancer several years ago, and it isn't a phone call I wish anyone to have to receive. Ever.

To that end let's Relay...let's make a difference and get one step closer to a cure.

Have a delightful week everyone and shop til you drop.

Aaargh.

2 New Yummies

"Aurora" Skirt & Top set, new for the Poet Collection

"Ariel" swimsuit new in the Glamour Collection

I've been busy making some new yumminess for the upcoming Clothing Fair, but I so love these 2 outfits I had to share!

Enjoy the sexiness and bring on the warmer weather :)

"Spring" I'm Extraordinary photo contest

It's nearly spring time, and I'm looking forward to some warmer weather and yummie outfits! To get us all in the mood for the springtime we're having a photo contest. Just join our Flickr Group , submit photos of yourself wearing our stuff, and you could win a cool gift certificate for Zullay Designs (which means a shopping spree on us...and that's pretty cool).

The best part is that our customers get to pick the winner! Dame Demina (my awesome assistant) and I will pick the top 3, and you pick who wins.

So here are da rules (because it's a contest and we have to have rules):

-Submissions for the Spring I'm Extraordinary contest run from March 10-April 19, 2009 and need to be submitted to the I'm Extraordinary Flickr Group between the above dates.

-Submissions must have have your full name in the title of the photo (so we know who to credit when you win).

-You need to be wearing a Zullay Designs outfit minimum in the theme of Spring

-Feel free to do some "photoshopping" to the picture if you are so inclined, just don't change it up to the point where we can't see the hair, clothing and skin, and no nudity please

-The judges for the contest are Zullay Thor and Dame Demina, and we will be choosing the top 3 photos. These 3 will be announced on April 20th and their photos will be placed in the main shop for customer voting beginning on April 22nd

NOTE: If you are chosen as one of the top 3, you must send a full perm TGA graphic to us in order to be entered for the final in-store customer voting. You will be contacted on who to send the graphic to if you are one of the top 3 chosen.

-Customer voting for the best photo will start April 22-29 in the main shop of Zullay Designs. You must go to the location and touch the photo of your choice (only one vote per photo, per avatar)

We hope you have some fun with this, and I'm really looking forward to seeing all of the great photos our customers share with us!

Stuff to do

Hello there!

It has been a couple of insanely busy weeks, and the schedule doesn't appear to be slowing much. With the spring/summer 2009 Couture Collection on the drawing board along with the spring items for the read-to-wear collections I've my hands full. Add in a few custom Couture orders and some fabulous fashion shows, it's a bit crazy! But I'm loving it.

Here are a few events that are coming up where my yummie designs will be featured:

-Morpheous Dreams fashion show produced by the Atlantis Modeling Agency. They are a top-notch group and great to work with. It will be at my main shop on Saturday Feb. 21st at Noon SLT SLurl

-March 16-22: Clothing Fair. LM's will be available in a few weeks and I'll keep you updated on how to get there and what fun stuff I've designed (including a limited edition set).

I regret I was not able to have the information for my show at RUNWAY's Fashion Week in Bryant Park out to you in time for the show on Tuesday. It went really well and I was thrilled to work with Maggie Mahoney and Ocean Bates, et al for this event. They do a wonderful job. The shows will be going on through next week, so do look it up in-world and go if you can. There is also a small boutique where the shown fashions will be available to purchase after you've seen them on the runway.

RUNWAY is also producing an YSL tribute show this summer and I'll have a design in the show. The design is inspired by YSL, who was one of fashion's major influences for the past 50 years. His death last year left a whole in the heart of the fashion industry, but his style goes on as his influences can still be seen in the designs of Micheal Kors and other contemporary designers.

I'll keep you updated on other events I'll be partaking in, and I hope to see you there!

Newness

Here are the first 2 hair styles with the new textures (I so love them!). I will be retexturing the older styles next week at the latest.

Also new is the Zenobia mini-dress complete with silver linked belt. Of course all of the hair styles and the prim belt have the handy "touch to resize" script making them easy to fit.

I'll be posting all of the upcoming events here on the blog soon, so check back!

Where's the L.O.V.E. ?

Now that the store is all put back together and organized, I'm holding a Valentine's Day goodie hunt. There will be 4 hearts hidden in the store. Each heart will have a letter that spells out LOVE. You have have to find all 4 hearts to get all of the pieces of the Christine Dress I've done in black and pink and will not be available after the hunt.

Find the LOVE, find the goodies :)
