And finally, do you love to model? The selection procedure for official Sky store models is still open! Application notecards can be dropped off in the applications box at the mainstore.

A little sidenote on the heels I'm wearing today: They are from :SMC: and not available on the Lucky Letters boards at the Kiyomizu shopping mall anymore, I'm sorry. But there is a huge wall waiting with many boards, no group needed, just a click! There's also a free gift available (slink mid heels!), I'll post it very soon *winks*

27. Sales everywhere!

I tried sewing quite often but I have always failed. I still remember when we had to sew nothing but an oven cloth at school but I was able to let even that look worse than before! I'm all fingers and thumbs if it comes to sewing... Lucky me that I can pretend to be an uber sewing machine pro in SL! 

We have quite some great sales going on, today I have included sales of Panda Punx @ Feeb's Rascals, Truth @ COLLABOR88 and Essenz. Also, aisling re-opened their refurnished store just a few hours ago and offer some great freebies to celebrate their 1st anniversary with us! Apart from jewelry for female and male, they gift us also some decoration. Head over to their shop and have a look yourself! Now let's see the pictures and the credits!
