Seven New Hairstyles & 50L$ Deal of the Day!

It's been a rocky week what with having to rollback the sim three times, and I'm finally able to get these blogged! Seven styles are in the New Release section of the NEW Calla build! When you land in the lobby, you should be able to see them with no problem now. (Yes, Sasy, I do listen!)

I've also been invited to participate in the Silver Star Special 50L$ Deal of the Day group! ****SILVER STAR SPECIAL!*** is the name of the group, and you can join by clicking the SEARCH button and then clicking the GROUPS tab and typing in 'silver star'. Then press the big JOIN button and you're in! There is a different 50L$ Deal every day, from some fabulous designers. Be sure to join the group to get the updated list every day!

My first 50L$ deal is one of the new skins, regularly 1000L$:

Calla Skin-Honey(BrunHair)SmkyCopper Mauve

The deal will change tomorrow, so be sure to grab it today!

Now, on to the new hair.

Calla Cherry-tree

A beautifully simple, sculpted bun with a braid wrapped around to give it a bit more texture and uniqueness than the traditional bun. This just screams for pretty hair sticks or a dainty flower tucked into the top!

Calla Citron

Citron is sexy, long, and flexi. It's actually waist-length and moves beautifully, with whispy bangs that really set off the oh-so-hotness.

Calla Daffodil

Daffodil is one of my faves this round. It's really playful and fun. It makes me want to don something summery and go wander the islands somewhere. It also means "rebirth, new beginnings" which is exactly what this new build has been for me and for Calla, a beautiful rebirth.

Calla Everlasting

Yes, Everlasting is really Princess Leia buns. I couldn't help it. I've had requests for it, I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and I just had to finally give in. The Everlasting flower means "Perpetual Remembrance" and what more fitting tribute to one of entertainment's greatest icons and one of the most uniquely unforgettable hairstyles of all time?

Calla Sweet Sultan

Sweet Sultan is also a sculpted, flexi ponytail. It's pulled up and then pinned to the back of the head with two little sculpted bobby pins. It's super casual and elegant at the same time.

Calla Trillium

Trillium is a mid-length style, and I haven't done any mid's with the big full curls like this, so I thought I'd do one just for fun. I love how it turned out!

Calla White Lupine

Last but not least, White Lupine is also at the top of my list. It has an almost Geisha feel to it, I think. It's very precisely placed, with soft tendrils falling from the nape of the neck. There's just a sensuality about this one that I really love.

You can pick them all up at Calla! Demos are free, of course, and there's lots more coming soon!

50% off all Sultry Collection styles.

30% off Calla Store Cards.

For those of you who have asked, he's doing okay. I'm still having to hand feed him and he's still oozing infection from the drainage site. He does seem to be in less pain now though, so hopefully the antibiotic is working and we won't have to do further surgery. I really appreciate the sweet words and all the good wishes! Big hugs to all of you.

Catching up, and upcoming sale!

If you recall, about a year ago we adopted a kitty for my son.

I had to take him to the vet two days ago, for what I thought was a broken leg. He wouldn't walk on his front left leg at all and after 3 days of it not getting any better, I knew he needed to go in even though we couldn't afford it.

It turns out that he has a foreign body lodged in his leg. What he has is a horrible abscess. The vet said it was really bad, and showed me a syringe of the gunk he took out of him. He said there was so much infection that he had to cut open his leg in two places and put in a drain tube. He told me "It bled really bad. Have you ever heard the expression 'bleeding like a stuck hog'?" I have, of course, so I nodded. He said "Well that's what he did."

By the time we were ready to leave the vet's office, the poor kitty had soaked through the paper towels they'd put under his leg. They were so bloody that I had to ask one of the girls at the desk for more towels for the trip home. Warning: Not for the squeamish! It looks like this now.

I've been up with him every few hours through the night. He can't walk very well still because of the pain I'm sure, and the cone he has to wear is messing with his depth perception or something. When he does try to walk, he walks backwards to wherever he's trying to go. He needs help to eat and drink. I've literally been hand feeding him. He's sleeping on the couch most of the day, sucking on his blankie. (He's a bit strange but it's terribly endearing that he has a lovey.) Sorry for the crappy pic, our camera has disappeared and this was taken with the cell phone. Here he is sucking on his blanket:



He's on antibiotics which they hope will clear it up. But if it doesn't, we're going to have to have semi-exploratory surgery to get the object out of his leg.

This has cost us several hundred dollars which we didn't have. I've had to write a post-dated check. Which is why there is going to be a sale this weekend!

My husband had a trip to the ER last week for heart palpitations, which has resulted in another bill we weren't expecting and lots of trips to a cardiologist. My computer also crashed and I've had to do a complete reformat, which is always a pain in the rear.

So, to help pay off the vet and ER/doctor bills, I'm going to be having a sale.

All Sultry styles will be 50% off this weekend. Also, store cards are going to be on sale 25% off. Skins and shapes are still 50% off. As soon as things are set in the store, I'll post again to let y'all know.

Saturday, August 08, 2009

50% Off Sale!

All skins and shapes are 50% off! That puts shapes as low as 75L$ each, and skins for 250L$!

There are also a small amount of the Summer Highlights left, so pick them up while you still can. After September 1, whatever is left will be deleted. I will never do these styles again in the Limited Edition, so if you want them, get them now!

Come on over to Calla!
