Mix 'n Match Goodness
One of the newer designers at The Flounder hit the spot today as I was embracing my inner hippy. Manis Lane, of Mix 'n Match has lots n lots of awesome outfits, fat packs, and anything else under the sun you can think of, including skins and shapes. She's even got a little freebie box up in her shop called 'Various Avatar Needs' with skin, shapes and eyes and an outfit. These are the kind of freebies I like to see given out. I remember being new and the freebies back then...whew, not like they are now. Anyways, on to my inner hippy outfit. Enjoy *blows kisses*

Phew...okay that's all from us for now. Hope you liked the treasures as much as we do.
Lurve and Laughs,
Kenz and HC
Be gentle… it’s my First Time…
My name is Azriel Ballyhoo but you can call me Azzy. I have been in SL for a year and a half and try as I might, I still haven’t seen it all. I am constantly amazed by the creativity and talent of content creators and I love that we have this environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to make and fly whatever freak flag they choose. SL embraces the spirit of my outlook on life, "Why the #!*$ not?!” Viva la weirdoes!
So a little more about me, I am half of the design team for Rara Avis. Our store has been open for almost a year now and I can hardly believe it. My design partner is none other than the adorable and talented Nineveh Teskat. I can’t miss the opportunity to share this Hallmark moment with you, Nineveh and I have been friends for over twenty years, we met in elementary school! We grew up terrorizing our mothers with our “art projects” so flash forward two decades and here we are still creating together and feeding each others crazy.
What can you expect to see from me? Hard to say, I usually surprise the hell out of myself. Last night I was a zombie, flying an umbrella on a large rotating pancake with a sexy neko and a little purple cat… pretty typical, actually… send me a NC if you want pics. ;) As for my style choices, I have eclectic tastes which you can see from my own designs. Nothing would seem more pointless to me than a hundred designers all making slight variations of the same outfit. Even though I make my own pieces and mooch copies of all of Nineveh’s work, I can’t stop shopping. I love finding unique pieces; things that make me say “I wish I had thought of that!” I have no idea where we are going my friends, but I promise I won’t steer you wrong.
That’s it, enough talking! I have shopping and designing and writing to do!
Much love,
Azzy
hi!!

Oh...hai thur
Peace Love 'n Orange Juice
While I seem to have less and less time lately to spread around, I promise I'll do my best to bring you the craziness that I wander around the grid in...when I leave the sim. (I do sometimes!)
I've been in SL for just about 3 years, and creating for almost half of that. I wear in SL what I like to wear in my every day RL; casual, random fluky stuff. I had someone in SL tell me once that I should be making what 'sells' not what I'd wear. I've found this to be so untrue.
I'm a bit silly and it shows in everythign I do. (Including my AO where I'm constantly falling down, spinning in circles and wiping 'something' off my shoes. It gets so bad sometimes Fukmi resorts to telling people I'm drunk lol)
Fashion is all around us in SL. Even if you say you don't care about it, you're still making a fashion statement. What we wear defines who we are (or who we want to be) in both worlds....
This blog will prove to you just that. It's all a matter of taste. We all wear what we like to wear.
Enough about me, let's get on to why you're really here.
I really don't remember how I found this place. I know the first thing I bought from here was a blue dress that I wore for about a week straight lol.
The seams on her items match so well I've decided it's just magic ;) Her jeans are to die for and I love her shoes.
I speak of Decoy.
I've got on one of the Flava Pop Tanks in Citrus. Also from Decoy are the jeans and the shoes.
The hair...is one of my favorites, and it comes from GrittyKitty. Noam makes seriously awesome possum hair. This one is called Penny. It reminds me of my Saturday afternoons. The bandana is scripted to change colors, so it'll match just about anything you own.
The skin & shape are from D-Skins. (Shape has been modded)
The skin is amazing...the nose and lips are so cute!
Makenzie Irling blogged about it on her killer blog: http://rummagings.wordpress.com/
See that awesome messenger bag? Created by Heather @ Fukmi Clothing. It's scripted with one of HeZkeZl Slade's made of awesome scripts (go check out everything he makes!)
You can change the clips, the pocket and the straps. It comes in 6 fancy textures that are almost as crazy as me =D
Stapes such as shape, skin & hair are listed below with SLURLS to all the places listed here.
Skin: [D-Skin] Skin60_f1_E0_L1
Shape: [D-Skin] Shape of D-Skin60
Hair: Gritty Kitty Penny in Black
Lashes: Crissy Designs
Tank Top: [Decoy] Flava Pop Tank - Citrus2
Jeans: [Decoy] Inferno 88 Dark Denim Flared
Shoes: [Decoy] Francisco Wedge Orange
Messenger Bag: Fukmi Clothing Messenger in Citrus
Now....what are you waiting for? ?Go forth and buy things my fellow shopping addicts!

Sitting on my tuffet
Rounding out are three of my other favorite things: Chai skins, Little Heaven hair and my Lovecats piercing set (and yes, that includes all the face piercings plus earrings...all on ONE attach point). This piercing set never leaves my face. I have to warn you...it's got a huge pink cat as a doorway and the pink continues into the store, but be brave. You can survive the pinkitude and find some great piercings. My set was only 100L.
The Chai skin I have on is the Ginger tone of Lavender. It's one of the older skins now being sold for 250L. I've tried the new skins and they just don't look right on me, but I'm finding that to be the case with alot of the newer skin shadings. But that's fine, I love my Chai skins and [42] skins. (Sorry I can't offer a SLURL to Chai, but TPs won't let me in. It's in Port Seraphine, though)
The Little Heaven hair I am wearing is Rosary Black. They have tons of really great styles and their shop is an amazing spooking build.
Perfection
Also featured in these pics are my friend Tyr Roszenblum's new skin line from Tyranny. Well known in the Gorean Community for her very cool clothing and accessories, she's now breaking into the skin trade and mainstream SL fashion with a huge selection of make ups for a start up and a really beautifully soft base that she agonizes over every day. Talk about wanting perfection, Tyr is obsessed. So expect to see a LOT from this fabulous new skin maker and be wowed by soft lush lips, dramatic eyes and lucious bodies in the future.
Take Cover!
Some of you may know me, or maybe not. But I guarantee you will soon.
While Visual is mostly my direction, I am not blind to the talents and creative interest of other designers who also use this amazing platform to showcase their work. I hope to bring a large variety of things to the plate, as my interests widely vary in theme, mood, and genre.
I've gotten hundreds of IM's over the years, complimenting my look and style. I've made notecards of places where I shop, shamelessly pimped out designers and their wares when asked "what ----- is that in your --- vendor picture?"
Everyone has their own vision. It's either shared, or completely different.
You've shown me yours. Now.. I'll show you mine.
Here We Go

It be . . .
Hey Darlings. I jumped on the chance to get in on this blog. IVEY WANTED ME? OR ROBLEM? OR BOTH?
*Dies*
I'm a designer here in SL. My store is The Stringer Mausoleum(and Shrine). Ya I know it's a moniker. I am mostly a hair designer, tho I make anything I have a need for really. My store is a selfish one. I mostly make stuff for myself, and am just happy that others enjoy my craziness I pump out. I'm known for my mohawks, tho my dreaded styles are starting to come in close second. Other things I make? Eyelashes, Eyes, Skins, Horns, Demon parts, Wings, Hats, Piercings and a few other oddball products.
I'm excited where this blog will take me in the blog writing sense. My plans are to do some actual reviews, some travel, all while keeping it Stringerized. I'm also going to try and show you how something you might never wear, or think doesn't go with your style, can be used and spiced up. I might even take this further, and let you summit items for me to go buy and Stringerize. I've got a few other plans up my sleeves you all too! My much anticipated and perfectly timed feature of the week will be FrankenSn@tch. Basically I have always liked to mash up my Sn@tch outfits. People would always be "Where can I get that?" And I'd go "Oh Sn@tch". 30 minutes later I'd get the IM, "I couldn't find it!". That's when I'd pull out, it was FrankenSn@tched! People have been wanting me to blog them, due to the crazy recipes I use to make them. So on with the fun!
So here I am, to stay, and clutter your fashion feeds with my crazy take on fashion in sl. Maybe, maybe you'll just happen to learn some sort of something!
