Getting Ready For Halloween @ Fair Play

Getting Ready For Halloween @ Fair Play

Fair Play reopens its doors on October 1st for a round where you can also find Halloween-inspired offers. And I have a sneak peek for you already, hooray! Also, keep an eye open because I will interview one of the designers next week to introduce you to this creator! :-)

By the way, have you ever googled why witches ride brooms? NSFW, I tell you! But very interesting... !

Interview: The Plastik

„I am totally confused about your appearance“, is my astonished exclamation when I arrive at her home where she invited me to. „Isn’t your store all about gothic and black and darkish stuff?“ The Plastik owner and creator Vae (aikea.rieko) laughs and leads me to a table to take a seat. I won’t sit down for a while because I am way too busy to discover zealously all the cute details I can find on that table: fancy cakes, cupcakes, buttercakes, pancakes, brownies, pies, tarts, flans, puddings, pumpkin bread, sweeties and candies, icecream, tea, coffee, hot chocolate with a cream topping, ornamental plants and: a laptop!
Interview: The Plastik
The entrance at The Plastik mainstore welcomes you with a cosy atmosphere
„If this was my workspace, I would never leave“, is what I state before I finally sit down. Once again, I eye up Vae who looks like an angel with horns to me. „I buy everything in white!“, she explains and points at the table with a grin: „This is my random collection of sweets. I’ve been building into it for at least two years.“ I shake my head because I just can’t believe what I see. It is amazing! Vae shakes her head a bit, too, and adds: „I can’t help it. I’m really picky but when I find one I like, I go nuts! Well, I’m obsessed with them.“ Obviously! But I could stay here forever.

„I wouldn’t have expected all that. You look white and innocent but I connect ‚gothic‘ and ‚black‘ with your label.“ Though I had a little idea already before that Vae is not only into ‚dark stuff‘ when I saw that she just joined Shiny Shabby for her first participation. And Shiny Shabby is well-known for a more pastel-colored style. „A lot of people do, but I think that's mainly because I use the dark woods, and the rustic elements and the dark themes for my store because I find them to be really gorgeous. I'm trying to ligthen up a lot lately because I don't just make dark stuff. Although it is my favorite thing, I want people to be able to see that I'm not just all about the dark and the witchy and the creepy“, Vae explains with a wink.

„I started with Second Life back in 2006 but I remember The Plastik being on the grid like forever. When did you actually start?“, I ask for some details. „I think Plastik, with the current name, probably started somewhere around 2006 or 2007. I'd had a few smaller stores on different accounts before then, all the way back to 2004.“ A quick calculation shows me that The Plastik exists already for almost 10 years! That is a considerably long time, especially in a virtual environment. „What motivates you to continue? I could imagine that after all those years, you sometimes go through phases when you just want to break off with designing?“ Talking about breaks, all out of a sudden, someone breaks in and lands on Vae’s head after teleport!

„And that’s my manager on my head!“, Vae cheers, „Sorchiee!“ Sorchiee? Yes, that Sorchiee whom I have met for the first time during my interview with Enchantment: Second Life is a village! „I take breaks once in a while, and most of the time it's not by choice. I've got a diminished immune system so I get sick fairly easily, which requires me, every month or so, to take a few days off to recharge. I always tell people that the day I stop really loving and enjoying the work I do, I will start the process of finding something else. But I really do love having this as a job. I'm always excited to work on new things, and I still get giddy when I'm working on something I'm really looking forward to. And I still find the time every day to take little breaks: I go on Tumblr, I take stretch breaks, I'll play a little bit of Diablo 3. I'm getting a lot better at balancing my time!“
Interview: The Plastik
Your path into the mainstore is enlighted by hundreds of little star shells
I connect with Plastik also very detailed jewelry and want to know how she acquired her skills. „Well, before the mesh capabilities came out, I was already familiar with the formats, the layouts, and the way mesh handles. I've been an avid modder of the Elder Scrolls community since 2003-2004, probably before, which has amazing games like Oblivion, Morrowind, and Skyrim. I've always been really into modding games and looking at the inner workings of their design. So it was really easy for me to transition.“ Before mesh came to Second Life, people were working with sculpties. What is her opinion about sculpties? „I'll admit, sculpties were such a mess. I dont think anyone really enjoyed working on them, they were just so limiting. There are always upsides to them, too. But when it comes to creating, I think mesh really re-invigorated how i do my work, in the same way that mesh bodies being introduced reinvigorated my love for system layer work, which was what a very large percentage of my really early work was all about.“

Layers, I wonder? When mesh hit the grid, I saw a lot people going crazy and stating that they would never ever wear layers again. „Do you think layers could become as important as mesh clothes again, Vae?“ -- „I love the layers. I always said that we needed more and more layers! I think its important when you do clothing that's got appliers for mesh parts, not to leave out the system layers and all possible mesh layers. I always try to offer every possible way to wear items so that people who cannot afford, or prefer to just wear their normal default avatar, or want to layer, have the option, too. I dont like anyone feeling left out. For mesh bodies and layers, though, i definitely think there should be more. Layering has always been a really popular thing, and I think that they‘ll always be relevant. I don‘t really know about the importance, because I know how much everyone adores their mesh parts, but I still use both constantly!“

Since we were just talking about variation of offers, I am curious if she has restricted herself to any limits what she wants to design. Maybe she would never create bicycles? „You know, I think about that often! I've considered getting into furniture and decor, and stuff like that, but I rarely ever find the time. I think the only thing I won't really get into are vehicles and cars, I know how much work goes into every single one and I don't think I'd be able to dedicate that much time. I admire the people who do, though!“ Vae creates many skins, a collection of nail appliers, a plenty of clothes and numerous accessoires, and I see her offering her creations more and more often with a broad HUD for color options.

It must be a lot of work. But designing is only one part of a business. A store owner has to keep many other criterias in mind: to watch the market, to promote new releases, to establish in events, to produce within deadlines and so much more: „Where do you get all your inspiration from to be up to date and bring always something new?“ Vae is participating in a lot of popular and well-known events, so I assume that she has a very tight schedule. „Well, a lot of that I credit to my manager Sorchiee! We spend a lot of time together getting ideas together, brainstorming, and she kicks my ass to make sure I am always on time. She's also been the one who's been helping me market my style and focus more on the things I needed to do to really get my stuff out there and noticed. I've got this dropbox folder of inspiration as well as several sketchbooks of things I've wanted to do since I was a teenager. And so I go through and I look at it all for inspiration when the event has a theme.“
Interview: The Plastik
Behind the bridge is a huge meadow with mystical trees
Time flies! Again, one hour is almost over. „Is there anything teasing you’d like to share with us? For example what you plan to come up with next?“ -- „Well, I‘ve got a few really amazing corsets coming out as well as a dress that's gonna blow people's minds! I'm working on some body parts as well that are going to be really awesome for fantasy buffs, and several new skin lines. My workload is huge, but I am hoping that everyone will find something they love in the coming months! Plus, halloween is coming, and all of my customers and people who know me know it's my favorite time of the year, and I go all out!“

That sounds indeed teasing! I am looking forward to that in excitement but now, I finally screw up my courage and hope that I wouldn’t sting into a wasp‘s nest. Because there is one last question left for which I have waited more than one hour. Actually, the only reason to request an interview was to get an answer to this matter. -- Okay, just kidding! But I still have to ask: „Before I came over, I read something in your profile which won’t let me sleep if I continue to brood over it. What the heck is the ‚Leafy-Peepybirds animation‘? English is not my native language, so some things sound really weird to me. I have no idea what it is, but to me, it sounds like a bird on acid… ?“

I should have known better! Of course, I made her laugh at me with my crazy interpretation but she helps me out with an explanation: „An old friend of mine, a long time ago, a long long time ago, made me this really cute animation which was used in my boxed products that played when you attached it. In one box, I had accidentally put the animation in full perm. And even though i fixed it a few days later, a few people had decided to use it for their stores as well. This animation was made especially for me, it is sentimental to me. So whenever I see someone using it, I ask them to please stop because it was special to me.“ To let me see it, she hands out a cute little rabbit to me which contains the said animation. Click! And here’s the snapshot of us two:

Interview: The Plastik
Vae surprises me with an all white appearance and a workspace table full of candies!
- see credits below -

Last but not least, I have a bit more to reveal for you, dear readers. First: the store will be undergoing a rebuild somewhen in the near future. If you have seen Vae‘s previous store builds than you will already know that it will be a great one. I promise you, I will take snapshots of it as soon as I may get access to the location once it’s done! And second: at Shiny Shabby, The Plastik has shown the lighter side of this brand to a bigger public. So we may look forward to jaw-dropping creations for casual and mainstream fashion as well in future! By the way: The Plastik is currently looking for participation in casual events, so don’t be shy and contact Vae if you’d like to collaborate with her for your event.

A big thank you to Vae (aikea.rieko) for taking her time, for showing her lovely work space and for giving us the chance to get to know her with interesting anecdotes and from a very personal side.

A FairyTale @ StoryBook Drift

A FairyTale @ StoryBook Drift
I found this cute and free (!) Albino Mesh head from Genesis Lab at Tres Chic, and thought immediately of a fairy. In combination with the stunning Shamalla dress release from aisling at We <3 RP as well as the sophisticated Autumnus Jewelry Set from Plastik - again, Vae (Aikea.Rieko) put so much love into detail, the HUD variations are amazing! - which you can currently find at Shiny Shabby, and last but not least the Summer Flats from FDD Stories, I was ready to dive into the world of fairies.
A FairyTale @ StoryBook Drift
Of course, a fairy needs a nice place to live in, and so I stumbled over a roleplay sim which is based on fairytales: StoryBook Drift. I found that the right setting to be, and to explore. The landing zone is a library from which you start your journey into a world where you could meet any character from fairytales. The fairytales itselves are the inspiration for the characters but Alice, Peter Pan, Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin bring their very own twist into the stories they have to tell.

I liked the concept of this roleplay setting, so I decided to tell you about it, and to take a few snapshots. However, I have to give you a little warning: It is an adult place, so please read the information about this place carefully and entirely on the official homepage of StoryBook Drift before you visit. I wouldn't want you to be shocked because you surprisingly met Miss Snow White who wants to chase you with a whip... ! ;-)

Valhalla @ The Secret Affair

Valhalla @ The Secret Affair

The Secret Affair is one of the shopping events where you really should stay for a while and go exploring the location! They put always so much effort in decorating an appropriate setting for the current theme. This round is themed Valhalla.

Valhalla @ The Secret Affair

With its snowy and misty landscape, the stonehenge setting and its mysterious fonds, the event location let you escape into the fascinating world of the Norse Mythology.

Valhalla @ The Secret Affair


During my exploring tour, I was wearing this stunning dress from aisling which is available at the event. The details of the chest piece are an eyecatcher! Each color combination of the dress includes two versions and a HUD to change the metal of the chest piece.

Interview: Independant Objects @ Fair Play

„Welcome to my contemporary world!“ acclaims me Susan Independent, the creative mind behind her brand Independent Objects. I am standing in the middle of a modern pavillon, furnished with a modern table and modern chairs, and: with christmas trees. „Christmas trees at the beginning of September?“, I wonder surprised. „I am used to such phenomenom in the superstores where they sell ginger bread and almond bisuits already in autumn. Is this part of your business?“ Susan has a chuckle to herself and enlightens me: „No. These are breedable plant pets. If you water it, every 52 days a descendant will spawn. Sometimes, something else spawns out of the christmas tree. A tulip, for example.“ I find that hilarious, and Susan explains that her friend inspired her. But what you actually find in Susan’s shop are roleplay-inspired clothes and costumes, and everything you need for landscaping a roleplay sim such as plants, houses, furniture and decoration. 
Interview: Independent Objects @ Fair Play
Like for many others designers, Susan started her business for the simple reason that she needed reasonable priced buildings which also suited her setting vision. „At the time, I was not willing to spent thousands of L$ for pixelated objects. That has changed a lot“, she laughs. „So I just tried to stack one prim on another, and looked where it lead me to.“ In 2009, she took her first steps in building but it was already two years later when she finally set her first item on sale. „I have learned most of my building skills by myself but also some of them with the help of a few close friends.“
Interview: Independent Objects @ Fair Play
Today, Susan shares two sims with Sweetgwendoline Bailey, owner of Sweet Revolutions, and four friends who have installed little shops on location. „The sim next to our store sim is a gorean roleplay area which serves also as our showroom.“ Susan tells me that she has been into Gor roleplay for a long time but then gave up. Since a few weeks, she’s finally active in an elven roleplay again after a two-years-hiatus without long-pointed ears. Apart from having her own store and being a roleplayer, she’s also very active in various events. „Isn’t it time-consuming? How do you manage all that?“, I want to know.
Interview: Independent Objects @ Fair Play
„I have no idea how I make it“, she admits laughingly. „But what I can assure you is that a day is too short. For me, every day should have 96 hours at least.“ I have read her store name in events like Fair Play, Fantasy Faire, 30L Saturday, or 35L Sunday. In which events may we expect her next? „I am participating in the Twisted Hunt which starts on September 19th. Another hunt starts on October 1st: the Medieval Fantasy Hunt hosted by Eldowyn Inshan. This hunt and the Medieval Fantasy Fair are one of my favourite events on the grid.“ While we talk about various popular and famous fantasy events in Second Life where we both love to shop regularly, Susan reveals also one of her biggest dreams as an SL merchant to me: to be a participant in the We <3 RP event.
Interview: Independent Objects @ Fair Play
„You are specialised on ancient, medieval and fantasy items so far. Trees, plants and everything for nature is in a certain way timeless. But have you ever made an excursion to modern age, so to speak?“ -- „Oh, sure! There is almost nothing which I wouldn’t give a try. My friends tell me quite often to specialize. But then I have to reply: I can’t! I love to build too much to restrict myself to limits. So far, I have also made steampunk outfits, or a modern hospital, as well as some custom-built outfits for an urban roleplay environment. Mostly, I build everything which my friends and I currently need or want for a roleplay.“
Interview: Independent Objects @ Fair Play
I ask for examples what this could look like, and Susan rezzes a shelf with scrolls: „We were searching desperately a shelf that would allow us to store our healer scrolls. We also wanted that the notecards in the scrolls would be available for everybody with a simple menu. Low on prims, and with an appropriate design to match the furniture in our elven treehouse. But we couldn’t find the right shelf for us. So I built this one, and my friend was totally happy with it.“ She remembers another story: „Years ago, we had a roleplay where we visited a duke. We thought, a little souvenir would be reasonable, and I built some Elven Potions.“ As a farewell gift, she hands over a copy of these Elven Potions to me before I have to leave for now. A big thank you to Susan for the invitation and the nice talk!

All landscape pictures have been taken on Autumn Isle (mainstore sim) and Silken Dreams (roleplay and showroom sim).




Since I have blogged the current exclusive Catherine dress offer from Indepedent Objects already here, I decided to show you another one of her offers: It is the Moroccan House 8 which I have seen at the Fantasy Faire for the first time. It was a perfect match for the other exclusives I wanted to show you from this Fair Play round: Suleika's Room by Tiar, and PoshTale's Deiphe dress.

A Gothic Wedding Affair @ Hidden Sanctuary events

If it comes to fashion fantasy, one of the most common reason to go shopping at fashion events is: roleplaying. Therefore, Hidden Sanctuary events (or short: HSe) tells stories around their shopping events, and have found their storyteller in Gwen Enchanted who helps the involved participants to set the stage and the mood. The whole story itself is splitted into chapters which each represents one of the events with a duration of one week only.

In a few days on Sept 12, HSe continues their tale of wanders until Sept 19. The everlasting love of the night: A Gothic wedding affair is the chosen theme. And as this theme indicates, you will be able to find various offers from clothing to decorations or even buildings to celebrate a gothic-inspired wedding.
