Here's a sexy new hairstyle that just went out. It does have a lot of sculpted prims, so please be aware it may have a longer rez-time. I do believe it's worth the wait, though!

Calla Adonis

Also new are some fabulous wooden bangles. I have this thing for wooden bracelets, I like the clunking sound they make. Not that these clunk...but they look pretty!

Freebie & Fabulous Business Tool

If you're a business owner in Second Life, you have to try this new Transaction Tracker. It is seriously amazing. It's just gone to Open Beta, so take advantage of being able to test it for 5L$. If you help Beta test, you also get a free month! They're even offering to give you the 5L$ back if you don't like it, so you really have nothing to lose. Trust me, it will be worth every single L$.

It makes sense of all those transactions we all have. It can create graphs and charts in seconds so you can track how well your products are doing. There's a "Top Ten" list for products, freebies, and even customers! It's a great way to send something extra special to those who buy every release you put out. You can also track sales by region, so you can tell if the shop you're renting at X-island is doing well or not and worth keeping! In just a few minutes! You don't have to sort through pages and pages of excel files to find out!

Instead of trying to fight with excel to figure out what all those numbers mean, or to try and figure out how well a particular product is selling, I just upload my transactions into this tracker and it tells me everything I need to know, and some things I didn't know I needed to know! I really couldn't live without it, and I know so many creators who have been wishing for something like this that's easy to use and simple to understand. I've been super lucky to be part of the development of this amazing tool, and as an almost 4-year SL content creator, I can tell you this thing ROCKS.

Seriously, go read through the website, there's a ton of information there about how it all works.

And finally, I've put out a little freebie for Earth Day today.

Calling all Bloggers!

Bloggers, if you are interested in receiving Press Release copies (for you to keep) of all Calla releases to be used in blog posts or reviews, please send me a note card with the subject "Calla Press Release Group - YOUR NAME" Inside the note, include your blog url for consideration. Upon review of your blog, I will add you to the subscriber Calla Press Release group. All releases will go out prior to being released in the shop, or on release day.

Note: Signing up does not require you to blog a release. You are under no obligation to review any releases, these are review copies for you to use at your discretion. This is simply an easy way for me to reach many people who want review copies at once rather than one-by-one. I would, of course, love honest and constructive feedback (whether blogged or via notecard/IM) on the releases but it is not a requirement!
