ShopaholicFeed.com closes

With a heavy heart, Express and I have decided to close ShopaholicFeed.com. We’ve been planning closing for awhile due to the other SL and our own RL obligations. We were more than honored and humbled by the support and generosity of the SecondLife Community for our feeds.

Since June 1, 2009, I’ve always been proud of ShopaholicFeed.com and that we we were able to create it for vast and ever-growing blogging group. Closing the feeds will certainly leave a whole in my heart. I’ve honestly loved supporting the new bloggers and well-established sites. It felt good to do so. Perhaps something in the future will allow me to do that again.

Express and I are closing this chapter and saying goodbye to ShopaholicFeed.com.

We have loved you all for so long … Thank you, thank you, thank you and so many more times over.

<3 Luna & Express

Join Me: Subjot

This morning I found Subjot while surfing Twitter. SubJot is a great concept as it allows you to follow others by topic. Yes, by topic. I know just this one feature alone is a god-send for me. Every post on the site is assigned a topic. Its so easy to follow or not follow topics from those you follow.

Subjot is still growing and its easy to join – just click here.

To learn more about the site, check out this post by Charnita Fance. She not only gives a thorough overview of features but also shows screen caps. Who doesn’t like pictures!? 

Also, if you’re nervous about being deleted for using a “fake account” like other new trendy social media sites, this one was created by a SecondLife resident. For that reason alone, its a site worth checking out. Read the WeAreNYTech article about Chris Carella (and his wife)’s story about how Subjot started.

Collabor88

Collabor88 launches tomorrow, August 8. It is the most anticipated event this season.  Each month, on the eighth day, this event showcases new designers who will offer items at really good prices. I’m thinking the price just might be 88L but that’s just a guess.

As for the designers, this time, are: Ingenue, Elikatira, Artilleri, The Sea Hole, Truth Hair, Illusory, and more! The products range from animations to home decor to clothing and hair. I’m showing off two designers and their items in this post.

The skirts & bustiers are from Ingenue. To my surprise, they are named after yours truly! What a great honor! I have yet to take off these skirts for either avatar lol

The other featured product for Collabor88 is Elikatira, its on me as a blonde. She’ll offer two different styles and what looks to be in a full color line!

This is just the beginning of all the awesomeness for this event. I can’t wait to see the rest. Even the location is perfect. I”m so happy to be on the official press team for the Collabor88.

Check the event’s blog for the location and more details. From the sounds of it, you may even see a few us of blogging there!

I know I’m very nervous … and yet excited about the event. Clear your calendars for February 20th – its honestly the most talked about event that you just don’t want to miss!

Hiatus

Taking a little break from blogging. I’ll still be on plurk and on the grid. For sure, my store, !BANG, will go on as well as my flickr will continue. Just not blogging for now.

See you all soon!

Hair Fair Charity

The hair fair is just around the corner! The chosen charity is Wigs for Kids. I didn’t know much about this charity so I did a bit of googling.

Wigs For Kids is not on Charity Navigator and do not have a lot of information in their The Better Business Bureau’s Charity Review. There is a lot more information on their Network For Good profile though.

The organization was mentioned in a few guides for donating hair, as in this one on Ehow and this one on About.com. They also rank high in search engines for searches related to hair donation.

Finally, one good thing I saw on their site is that every single hairpiece Wigs For Kids makes is given to a child and their family free of charge.

Updated Review Copy Policy

Thank you everyone for being such a loyal reader. Most readers have been with me since the beginning way back when in 2007!

I’ve been so blessed and honored to showcase all sorts of different fashion concepts and styles throughout the years. Even with most recent posts I’ve added in home decor and the like.

My review policy has been updated recently. I still won’t blog everything given but will provide feedback and support the best way I can. Most noticeable my policy now is inline with Federal Regulations as it has been in the prior months.

I welcome any questions or concerns regarding my policy. I really appreciate all the support and love if you’re a long time reader to just today. Looking forward to many more years blogging with you all! <3
