Alternative Fair New Release!

Hey guys,

So there is an Alternative Fair, full of sexy goodness for those who walk on the other side of sl. I have a booth at it. Duuuuuuuuuuur!

Kidding, but I do have a booth!

More details HERE!

My booth is on the pulse sim, right near the tp point.

My Shop Slurl
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Pulse/211/40/29

Now due to a misread on my part, my whole darn booth is full of new stuff. Thats right, all new!

I've got 2 unisex hairs, New skins, an outfit, a stringerized smexy shirt and some new eyes!

Now this like most fairs and big events in sl, has a charity, so I thus have charity items! I did 2 packs of Limited Edition stuff, you can only get these at the fair, and then they will poof!




A 4 pack of me new outfit, in Limited Edition Colours just for this event. It's at a super discounted price, you basically get 2 outfits for free. They are transferable too, like all my clothing items. So if there is a colour you don't like, you can share it =) 50% of this item goes to the Charity.



When I first started to play with the idea of my transition skins, I made them in light versions first. They didn't work out that awesome, only 4 of the 8 actually worked to my satisfaction(the other 4 are in the hunt currently at my store, figured you guys could still do "something" with them). So this pack is made up of the 4 that passed my inspection. You get 4 skins, ffor the wonderful price of L$600, which is actually just a little over paying for a single, so it's a super deal. These are Limited Editions, will poof after the fair, and 100% of this pack goes to the Charity!

The Hairs! Oh the hairs!

These unintentionally go sort of with the theme of the event.



I was making this, and for some reason got it in my head to try some braids with it, and liked the results.



This one sort of happened out of the blue, was trying to make a mohawk for someone with a finger in a light socket, but it ended up looking too much like Tonic and Allegory. I already have the hair almost done, and wanted to save it, so I decided to see if I could dread it somehow. This is how my efforts turned out =)

Skins-Transitonal Searies

Shadowthinger
These are the darker cousins to the Sunchaser skins. They are for creatures who lurk in the corners of allies or various similar low light envirionments. They have a string shadowing, to further enhance the fact that they do not live in the light. Not your typical skin you'll find out there. And they make me super happy, like drug enduced happy. I really made them for me, and wasn't going to share, but enough of you bugged me so here they are!

*Grudgingly lets go of her prizes*

















I have demos for you all, so check them out =)

EYES! wouldn't be a swampy event with out some Swamp Thang eyes now would it. These little buggers are part of my creature series. They have an off pupil and very big iris shape, more so then I normally do with my eyes. Again part of my rendering experiments.



I attempted more clothing. This first set is an outfit, you get it on all possible layers, and it is transferable like all my clothing items. And I went colour crazy, as always, can't help it, hehe. There are 12 colours to choose from.

The top is partly seethrough. If you double it up with another layer, it turns into a solid shirt.



This top sort of just happened out of random experimenting. and yes you can see nipples thru it, no they are not included in the design =) you has to get your own nips, leave mine alone!



That is it for now guys! I think I might have to go shopping myself, with all these various things going on, so I might just see you all on the grid, you never know!

Oh almost forgot, I did up a set of swampy like demon parts as a gift at the fair!

Helena's 3rd Annual Birthday Bonanza

It's that time of the year again, when I get older. To celebrate this I tend to do some big crazy things at my store. This year is no different, other then the fact that as I started to set up, I got attacked by hunt harpies! those darn things are everywhere now . . .

Hunt Harpie-A creature not of myth in sl. You will see them all over, following unexpected victims, ready to snatch hunt prizes from said victim's grasp. One of the only deterrents is to bash yourself randomly against the wall, to make them think you are slightly noobish, they don't like the noobs.

So here I was, on my own sim, in my own store, when a crowd of hunt harpies swoop in! Now obviously I was not on a hunt, dude it's my own store. But they don't notice names, they just go "oh there is someone, lets follow them around and see if they find the treasure". This has always been an agrivation for me. When finally after 20 minutes they figure out I'm not doing much of anything, they IM me and ask if I was on the hunt, and if the could get hints? Ermmmmm NO!

Then the whining begins, oh how hunt harpies whine!

Well I was slightly famished, so I put on my best smile, then set out for a bit of harpie flesh. Not the tastiest meat, but hey, it's shuts up their traps right?

A few minutes later, after catching the last one, and plucking each feather from it's body, I notice a slight glimmer to the feathers. Picking one up out pops a trinket of sorts? hmmmm what is this?

Seems like the hunt harpies hide their many stolen treasures in amongst their feathers!

So what is a girl to do, I have left feathers from my mad rampage of plucking all over the store and sim.

Will you help find them all?

Limited Edition Mini Hunt-April Week 2

Hey guys!

Yes, as you can see I'm finally bring back an old favorite event here to The Stringer Mausoleum. I personally love Limited Edition stuff, and I love hunting. Over a year and a half ago, I had started to do limited edition mini hunts for new releases, that had limited edition hair textures, or if another type of product, it's have it's own special colours not to be released.

They were hugely fun, and people really enjoyed them. Now due to my failing health, I hadn't managed to do any in a very VERY long time. But had always planned on bring the event back.

Well it's finally here, and if for any reason a new release happens and I can't do the hunt, I'll have some other way for you to get the limited editions.

~~~The Basics~~~

For hair I have Currently 3 packs of Limited Edition Colours.

Camos Pack
Colour Bleeds Pack
Roboshines Pack

This could change at any time, as who knows, I might just get crazy and make more packs, cause I'm a colour whore =)

Each single will be priced at no higher then L$25, for every so many out, I'll price one at L$1. If it's a full pack, it'll be price acording to my mood, based on how many textures is in the pack, or how generous I'm feeling. Some will be L$10, some will go up to L$100.

ALWAYS for hair it'll be one of 5, so one of olny 5 EVER sold on the grid. In the items name, at the end you will see a number like this:

(2/5)

This lets you know which Limited edition you managed to get.

Hairs will be Copy/Mod/No Trans.

The little prims you hunt for will show what texture or what pack you have found clearly. They are set to original, so please pick them up after you have found them, and bought them.

As for other items, they will have no set colour range. It'll just be whatever limited colour I make for that thing, also there could be more, say for eyes it could be one of 10, instead of one of 5. Each week I'll let you know what items are in the hunt, and have more info if it's something sort of different. These items could possibly be Transferable.

I set the items out in rounds, over a period of time, as the first round starts to run out, the second round goes out. I let my group know when new rounds are out.

Stringer's Followers-Info Group(can also find it in my profile)

Items will also be hidden both inside the store, and in my cemetery. NOWHERE else, unless I say so for that week.

***IMPORTANT***

I will not give refunds on these. I also will not give money back if you bought 2 of the same Item in the same limited edition colours, so please make sure you are paying attention when hunting.

on to the goodies!

The Stringer Mausoleum Says more Hair Please!

Hey guys got lots for you today!

There is all sorts of stuff coming up for you guys, straight from me to The Stringer Mausoleum. I have tried a few more attempts at clothing, the alternative fair is on it's way, I've got another event at the end of the month. But do you know what the biggest thing is?

HELENA'S ANNUAL BIRTHDAY BONANZA!

Ya it's that time of the year again, I get old and shit XP

But before all this can take place, I had to get hair out!

New Releases:

Womens



This is actually a redo, sans the daggers it use to have. I'll make new spiffy ones sometime and set them for L$10 or something. This hair is a good classic staple, I don't make many so enjoy it.

Unisex



This lovely piece was inspired by an sl artist. You can view some of her works here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cerdwin/. It's been a long time coming, but it's finally been made, hope you like it!



One of my many weird experiments, sort of reminds me of a helmet.



Another oddball hair, a friend said it looks very cool on nekos. So you can be like alien neko or something. I'm sure you'll figure it out.

As always new releases for the first little while(normally a few days unless I forget), have 3 packs priced down to 75% off. So nab some deals while you can.

Back by popular demand:



Keep getting this one asked about, so I dug it out, and it's uber cheap for the whole MEGApack. L$25!



Same here, so because you want it, here it is. This is a MEGApack aswell, and it's just L$50.

New Savoir Hair Samplers:





Savoir Hair has a newhome, and I was asked back after not being there for a long time. New to this location is the ability to have both a mens and womens style. Bigger, better and more desginers, what more cold you ask for to start a nice hair collection. Tell all your new player friends!

Here is the Slurl
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hairspray%202/125/72/27

I am also in the Crazy Arse Hair Hunt, and made something sort of alien and organic at the same time, so find the weird arse doll globe and claim your prize! Hint in my "Hint cube of HELL!"

And Lastly, I'm reintroducing my Limited Edition Mini Hunts for new releases. Some of my oldies will remember them, some of you new people will not, but they were always mega fun, and it's nice knowing you have one of only 5 on the grid, sitting right there in inventory!

Detailed info will be in my next Post.

Okay I think I'm done now, I can't see anymore new product, so I don't think I missed anything!

Enjoy!

Aine Mermaid Skins

Aine, a keltic mermaid of the deep. She has more shadows hidden on her body then light, but what light there is makes her features pop. She has surfaced to bring you a gift, a chance to be part of her world.

This is the base skin, there will be more makeups to come, cause come on peoples, I like to play! Each base skin comes with a sneak peak at my new ears I've got coming out soon, as part of a bonus. You basically get them free with purchase. Each are pretinted to match the skins.





Here is a peek at the colours:

The Instore Setup























There are demos all bundled in one pack, so try them out and see what your favorite colour is!

As a special incentive for my inworld group, I'm letting you guys pick out your hair of choice, in any pack of your choice, to go with your new skin. All you have to do is make a notecard, title it "Aine Mermaid/Hair Deal~Your Name Here". Put in the notecard your transaction info, and your choice of Hair, and the one hair pack colour choice. Then just send to me! Helena Stringer.

New hair and another skin sneak peak!

Hey guys!

I got some goodies for you!

But firstly I'm going to get a few other announcements over with.

I finally got my 3DCC event items in the store. There is only one Special Edition dress left. Also I put 3 of the Hair packs down 75% for a limited time.

The Rezzable event is over, so Alien Flora is now home. I also put 3 packs of it down 75% for a limited time.

The Opium Show was fun, I enjoy the first one, which I was in attendance for. I have the 2 new hairs from that in the store now. I had made a New Female Hair called Troian Mystic. Troian is a demon god of cosmos, the hair is sort of horny, and the event theme was spacey, so thats is where the name came from for that piece. The other is a hair you have all been bugging me for since I gave you guys a sneak peak last year, so Loaded is finally out. It's a Unisex Dreaded Mohawk.





Mens Hair:

*New* Tank Master Flex



Yes, new male hair! I made this for fun one day, don't really know why, and the name is from something else in my personal history, so it just makes me giggle seeing it.

Retextures:





Unisex Hair:

*Redo*



I really wanted to wear this hair, so I dug deep into my oldie box, and redid a few things people were always bitching about on it. So it's a totally updated version of the old Quill hair, based off of a sea serpent character from a japanese Magna Book.

Womens:



Have no clue why it took me so long to get this Hairfair hair back out, all I can say is I'm a dip.



If your looking for the Scarabs, C&D Designs does not have them out yet. If you'd like a set, let me know, and I can get it arranged.

As always for new release day, all hairs above have 3 packs set down 75%.

I made this for the Haiti Relief Charity fund Yele.org. It was made to go with the Ozimals Alien bunny. So get your alien bunny look on, and throw a bit of cash to some people in need.



You can only get this bunny part set at my "Stringer's Bunny Sanctuary". It's a place I made for my own personal collection of Ozimals, as well as selling off the bunnies they seem to rabidly be making with all their bunny smexing.

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lyashko/160/161/299

Also, I have instore, in a green giftbox, another sneak peack at my new skins. This probly wont ever actually be a tone, I was just fucking around, but you can come and get it and enjoy it! L$1 for a limited time.

Okay guys, enjoy!
