Its a well known fact that I LOVE the template/system skirt, it’s true, because any of you who have seen posts from me over the last year and a half will remember the ‘It’s my foot up your bum’ post I did at Appearance Mode HERE – once you click it you need to click on Updates , or perhaps this one HERE , that was the ‘Munching the Flowers’ post- looking back at old posts blew my mind, so glad Garbage kept them ♥

Regardless of either, I do LOVE LOVE LOVE them, and recently Jhuzen Ketsugo started a discussion at Fashion Finds at Phils Place on this topic, as to whether you love or hate them.

Of course I was all about the love, so I decided to revisit some older looks and mix in some New ones.

This first look is a mix of one of my favourite system skirt sets, and a heavenly blouse I remembered I got stale transactions on a few weeks back and just HAD to go back and get – you so needed that info 😛 .

The Feral Set by First Impressions is the Jacket and Skirt part of this look, there is also its own silk blouse in a bold burgundy print, but I opted for a change.

The skirt length and style is perfect, and the jacket I adore, I often wear it without a shirt underneath, because its Yummy that way.

The blouse is the Mars Shirt from Fleur, and as soon as I saw it it was instant LOVE, but it was a sunday and you know what that usually means, but I didn’t forget it, so yesterday when doing this post I jumped back off the stand and grabbed it.

Yet again I am so glad that I didn’t have it sooner, because for this its just PERFECT!. I love love love Grandpa collar shirts , and the seams down the front and across the chest, the whole structure of this blouse is heaven. Mind you until the jacket came off I didn’t realise how sheer it is – lol cheeky Roslin.

Thank goodness for the April Lingerie set in white from Insolence , as the bra was just perfect for underneath. Now that the jacket is off you see how incredible the system skirt is from First Impressions, Pukk Abel does wonderful shading on her skirts, so you look sleek and sophisticated .

For accessories I went with the lovely Black Stitch Handbag Silver Overnighter from House of Nyla , this bag comes in three sizes, an evening bag for formal occasions , a day bag and this yummy big overnighter. The shoes are the yummy Estella heels from Tesla, the little bows at the back give them an extra pretty feel , with a classic Mary Janes style.

The hair is Jolleen another of the incredible 1L styles from ETD , again for a chic look this style is wonderful . The skin mmmmmmmmmmmmm the fabulously talented Ashia Tomsen of Ashia Designs made this for me as a present ,its called *AD* Timeless- Special Edition- The Sass *giggles* , a beautiful gift and such glorious make-up , Ashia has so many incredible skins in her store , you really need to go look and DEMO DEMO DEMO , and she does do custom work when she can .
This next dress is also from Fleur, I couldn’t leave it behind, it was begging to be mine, and so appropriate for the post I had in mind, that this is more of the new.

It is the Avril Dress, and the skirt is made to be actually more flared but as its mod I did tighten it, and I love it both ways. There is also a blue version if pink isnt your thing, but its soooo pretty.

I went with a daytime look for it, but its such a retro frock look for spring dances and such, so lots of versatility.

I remembered that I hadn’t shown you yet the incredible 10L store Lace Boleros by Bare Rose, shame on me. Absolutely incredible lace work on this, and the price is sensational- these are the kinds of things that due to Bare Rose being transfer you could have a supply of them, and when your friend just needs that ‘little something extra’ you will be prepared.

OMG or even BETTERER MEN MEN MEN OMG *has a girly fit* OMG Guys *beckons you over and whispers* go buy these and next time you are out for the night with your partner OMG this is priceless, and its a beautiful night and she has bare shoulders, pull out one of these OMG I WOULD DIE ! has a gigglefit , seriously you know its true ladies, if your guy did that it would be instant LOVE – I am going to giggle about that all day now lol. If anyone does it they BETTER tell me lol.

With all this pretty pretty, I had to reach for my Fleur Vivant Bronze Blossom 3, I adore this skins make up, its just so soft and so feminine, just the look you need when frocking up. The shoes are from Enkythings, the Nana heels you already know I love, that do go from day casual dressy to formal dressy soooooooooooo well, and perfection for lingerie.

Hair is adorable too, the Sonia style, yet another ETD 1L fatpack style, tightly bound and beautiful. Accessories wise I wanted something vintage looking or traditional in style, and the Pearl Set from Dark Mouse at Whimsical Creations was just perfect, and look at those tiny prims and detailing, wow . The necklace, earrings and bracelet were the set made for the Wheelies fundraiser, so I am not sure if they are up in the store still but I know there are other wonderful sets there.

Lastly an old favourite, and another way system skirts can be made to look absolutely incredible, is the Blue Nyte Cocktail Dress from House of Nyla .

How I managed to take six photos and not one of the back I have no clue at all, but the back of the stunning floral corset is laced up and fabulous. System skirt done in a drape style, with the addition of side prims to continue the gathered and draped look, with beautiful floral adornments.

Its a stunner and always has been, the shoes also from House of Nyla are the Onyx Beaded Heels, and just like Nyla’s real life designs, they are incredibly handcrafted.

This is that great use of system skirts I go on and on about in its finest form, you dont have to go tight and smooth, be creative like this, and people will soon get over their system skirt insanity :P- I wont get over mine though because mine is all for the LOVE LOVE LOVE.

The skin is []::Tuli::[] S5 medium ~ classic 1 and was a gift at skin fair, but as far as I know is part of her line and really lovely. As I often say 😛 go out and grab demos, if you see demos when you are out , grab them lol, even if you aren’t looking for a skin at the time, it cant hurt to know what looks good on you for the future, and you never know, you might fall in love. The hair is the Anisa style from ETD a beautiful updo , and the Casablanca set earrings, and of course all the Hair Roses are from Essentia .

So there you see is just a smidge of my system skirt love, I have sooooooo many, but wanted to show my old and new and some different looks utilising their brilliance. I often think that many people have been put off by them from old old old freebies sets, that were always too short and flared ,a nd because of that can’t find the love on newer styles.

Also for the record lol, my bum used to be 16 and now its 26 and I have never ever had a skirt shape lol.

Ambre Jun inspired this Sasy Looks look today, with her post on Poetic Vintage over at Fashion Finds at Phils Place.

Having been a Manager in Phils Places of a Menswear store for a year, I often wore mens suits, and convinced many a business woman to do the same, as mens clothing doesn’t only look sexy, as Ambre says; on women, but stylish and elegant too – depending of course on the style of mens clothing, some just looks cuddly yummy.

I went shopping earlier for some shoes I had seen from Armidi, the Viniani Heel in Silver, there are so many lush colours, but as I am such a grey wearer these I knew I would get a lot of wear out of.

Then I zoomed over to Maitreya for the latest release, the Eva-More hair. An adaption of Eva 3 that is just divine, I am so loving the bangs on this style, and there is so much love happening for the Autumn texture for me, the new reds are just scrumptious. So top to toe I was covered now the in between.

When I wear grey I always want more classic styles, I think that comes from my mum who has always been a huge grey fan too. But its one of those lectures you get growing up, about having classic pieces in your wardrobe, and paying higher for great pieces instead of lots of smaller amounts on crap; ‘It will cost you more to end up with nothing”- lol its funny writing about your mum when she is yacking at you at the same time RL.

So that was the look I was going for and achieved, thanks to the mixing of Pixeldolls and First Impressions. I found the Mens Velvet Jacket in Grey in my inventory and revisited old love, see why its a classic lol. When this was released I was so excited and zoomed right over to grab it , its an incredible structured coat and a fab use of sculpties, another one of the first designers to enrich our lives with their uses on clothing back then.

It is beautifully tailored and detailed, a wonderful length and comes in other fantastic colours -it is in a multi vendor on the right side of the mens section if you are looking, as I had to go make sure it was still available . While I was there, my eyes ran over the clothes line swaying before me -yes swaying clothes, at first I thought I was hallucinating lol. Instant lust for the (Laundry) Ruffle Front Shirt , I love the tuxedo shirt look and this one is gorgeous, comes on both shirt and jacket layer , and on women its the Hotness.

So off home I ran, and knowing that I have plenty of grey pants I was set. Opting for a tailored look though, I chose the Dark Gray Dress Slacks high waist from First Impressions, you do get a high and low waist option in these fab pants, and they are from the Pants sets in the bottom section of the main store- unless she has moved them lol.

Finishing off the look with the PopFuzz Skin Tan – ♥ Cupcakes Lovely Red from Popfuzz Designs for a splash of red – red and grey look so stunning together. I am ready for whatever the day brings . Thanks Ambre for letting me revisit a look I haven’t done in a while ♥

Marni Grut of Royal Blue sent me some lovelies a little bit ago, as soon as I put on the first set the Bettle Set it was love.

I don’t know about you, but my bum looking like a racey mini, to me is the cuteness – I mean it could have looked like a lorry *giggles*.

A fab little romper suit it is made without a top underneath, yes pure boobage unless you put on something like the tank I am wearing from Awesome Designs.

The Bettle reminded me of GoGo Dancers of the 60’s, so some chunky platforms and white boots were definitely the ticket.

Left to right : by Popfuzz Designs, that fab skin I am wearing is too . Moon Boots in whiteVenus Sandals from The HUB -which just look fabu with the cherry red in the bettle.
Blair boots in white by Dela and the awesome Cupo Boots by Enkythings that have white or black sole options, and incredible sexy heels .

The perfect hair for this look, with its fabulous Retro look and inspired name is Antonia by TRUTH , the colour change bandana ribbon matched each set perfectly.

The second set is a Mixy Matchy look, I was actually talking to Marni about wanting to do more of those, so used her Paradox Jumpsuit for inspiration.
The jumpsuit is top to bottom and has a real Victorian knickers kind of look to it, all boning and trim, definitely a naughty undergarments look with a modern kind of feel to it. I decided to utilise the overall body coverage by picking out some complimenting pieces from other designers.

The edging look to the Jumpsuit inspired a tighter look with the help of the corset from the Heresy set by Canimal, the long hugging corset is just superb and I have tinted it black to be worn over the top. Next I wanted a little fluffy skirt, I tried a few different ones, but the one I liked was the I mean Business skirt from Pixeldolls, this has trim ribbons and such so tinted the pants black also to hide that.

The release of the Athena boots by Tesla was perfect for this little look, these are stunning Victorian styled boots also with a mod twist, the open toes are just wicked, I once watched Nigela Bites the cooking show and she was wearing open toed knee high boots and I have always pined for something like that, now I have YUM YUM.
The skin is the MMSPaleNFb-Clean from Minnu Model Skins, with all that hot pink I was wanting something a little lighter in make up.

The hair is the Phoebe style from ETD and OMG its 1L the fat pack, I went to visit Jaydie at work the other day and was so excited to see that Elika had added a huge amount of styles to the 1L wall, some of my favourites I had in smaller packs, as well as some I didn’t own at all, so WOOOHOOO go grab them all, * blushes* I did even though I knew I had some parts I just bought again lol.

To add a bit more glamour to the look I went with the Stunning Pastel Gloves from Fleur , I have again tinted to make the pink a hotter pink, but the soft pastel they come in originaly are just heavenly, if you don’t have any of the Fleur Gloves you have got to go and get lots and lots, stunning colours and the texture is fantastic, and each set comes in three lengths A BARGAIN !.

The third item from Royal Blue is the River Boat Optimism dress, a lovely frock with nautical colours, done in such a way as to be a light and pretty day dress, with splashes of colour to enhance with accessories of your choice. I really like the neckline to this dress, its a wonderful cutout strappy look, and the cute little bow at the back just adds a sweet touch.

The sandals are the Sulaco from Enkythings, that I just adore for this day time look, and the hair is DarkChyld from Old Gravy, just to add a little heat to the oh so sweet. Skin is the Aurora Skin from Fleur that to me was a MUST have as soon as I spotted it, and that was during a huge hunt and absolute chaos at their old train station build, and the fact that I was only drawn to that means something lol.

Go and check out Royal Blue if you haven’t as you will want to spend the weekend wriggling about in the fab Bettle Set for sure, as well as all the other fab creations.

Dela is fast becoming a One stop shop for all your fashionable needs. Recently the release of the Diva Set in three fabulous colours must have inspired Kuranosuke Kamachi, because the girl is so focused on making such incredible pieces to accent all her different styles throughout the store.

The set has two styles of pants options, the first being the very cool gaucho pants, and then the longer version…they both have sculptie cuffs for a rounded look which is just fabulous.

The boostier style top is padded and quilted looking and the fabric texture is just wonderful and shiny, with the lovely lariet around the neck dropping between the breasts as a wonderful accessory, this is a great set for smart casual occasions, day time events where you want to look stylish without going too dressy, and can move into night time affairs with ease.

A few days later the release of some incredible accessories came my way; and sure enough they all look wonderful together. The earrings are just wonderful works of art, I especially love the Garnet hoops I have had many earrings in this style RL and they are always firm favourites. The textures on these earrings and bangles are all superb, and the incredible cuff bangle I thought at first was sculpted but nope, 38 prims all meticulously layered to create that wonderful shape.

The reptile Clutch purses are also fabulous, bright colours and bold reptile textures make them definitely stand out and get noticed, finishing it all off with the Devon boots and the Blair boots also by Dela and I was ready for a stylish day in any situation.

The hair on the left is Lilo and the longer style is the NEW Elise both from TRUTH and both Gorgeous, the skins are the wonderful Seductive Glow skins by Digital Dragon Designs, I love the red make up around the eyes as Ive always done that too RL lol.

If you haven’t shopped at Dela in a while and thought it was all about shoes, then now is the time to go and check out all the other beautiful items.

OK so I am hoping this makes sense to some, and helps many, unfortunatly whats new has blogger limits, and I feel wretched that I cant add more. there are so many limits with blogs and such but thanks to Zoe Connoly of SLBloggers I took a page out of her book and started another Ning Community HERE , now this might get used, it might not, it took me ten minutes to set up so I am not going to cry if it doesnt, but I do urge as many of you as possible to give it a look and see how easy it is to utilise and hopefully promote the hell out of your stores and your fashionable finds.

SL Bloggers is awesome, totally I love it, but I would love to see content creators and designers especially showcasing their wares to all, and spreading the word, this will keep things lively I am hoping and also has so many options for forums, events listing and so on, a great way to make things easier to track. You can blog directly there if you dont have your own blog or even just copy paste html code from your own posts to the blog system there, so an extra five seconds work to spread more to hopefully more people.

NO Drama though, really really I am over it, I know Ive contributed to it in the past, but its making me ill, we want to know the good things, we work to hard every day to not only get that but deserve that.

Like I said its there and I would love you all to use it, its a shame fashion planet cant be updated as much as possible but this is only one more click of a bookmark and hopefully you can get as much if not more info this way *fingers crossed* .

Ill try and make a logo lol I so suck at that as you all know, but hey lets make it fun ok .

HCT (Here Comes Trouble) does more than just fantabulous hair, there is also many many wonderful clothing sets in the store.

With the latest releases of clothing and Hair , there is just so much to love right now.

The first set is the Flower set, not only does each come with two options of top and belt, but those pants are just yummy. The floral cami’s are just heavenly in their texuture and colour options, so versatile to wear with many other wonderful set, but how can you go wrong when the belt has the matching coloured ties.

A wonderful casual dress outfit, worn with the NEW Nina hair which is part sculptie – wooohoo Boo going sculptie is exciting. Also wearing the Newtown wedges from TRUTH and the Minnu Model Tan Skin Gloss Dusk skin which just brings it all together wonderfully.

Second set is the divine Frilly Dress, stunning silk and lace in wonderful colours and three options – realises one is missing :o( there is also a shorter top in the set. This dress is just beautiful, with the asymetrical train style dress skirt, you will look incredible as you go out in the evening .

The shoes are the wonderful Felicity shoes from Tesla, her latest and absolutely divine sling back stiletto’s. The hair is another New from HCT the Olivya, which is a beautiful updo with loose bangs and tendrils at the front framing the face.

IcyPop is as naughty as you want it to be, the incredible HIGH cut swim/bodysuit in incredible satin texture is just wonderful, and then so many options of wear in the set.

Capri pants with cuffs and the layed back casual towel pants, with their baggy fit are just too much fun. I love the sheer top option on its own or over the top of the wonderful little white flexi skirt, giving it that ‘anyone for tennis’ cheekyness.

Worn with the older Gabriella style hair its just really fresh and summery. Again a huge amount of colours in the Icy Pop and two colour combos in each set, this is one set and look at all the incredible ways to wear.
The shoes are the Brampton wedges by ETD and they are just yum yum yum.

This is the Pocka dress, and its all about the vintage look, so of course the latest Opale hair was just perfect with its adorable upcurls.
So much to love about this dress, from its full swishy skirt, the polka dots and adorable white bow, to that adorable shrug sweater in a classic white knit.

You will want to find a stand that lets you sway to and fro for this number its just that precious. and when it gets too steamy you can strip off and dive into the pool in the wonderful vintage style full piece swimsuit.

The sandals are the Sulaco sandals by Enkythings, I adore these sandals and you can choose either plain or shades options, which makes them so wonderful to have for mixing up wonderful looks.
The skin is from Unfad and is the Tara Skin Tan Classic N1, wonderful pouty lips and fabulous shading, giving some va va voom cleavage which this dress definitely showcases.

So get thee to the HCT , scoot off you go.

xoxo Sasy xoxo

I needed to be reminded today why Phils Place is awesome, Tori Heart the incredible Manager of Bare Rose IM’d me to invite me to a gig tonight at 8pm SLT and after watching the Video Clip interview of the band on CNN I just had to share so that you all get the chance to stop by yourselves.

The location is HERE and will be packed Im sure so try and get in early if you can. Tha band is Space Junky and they are utilising what is the true essence of Phils Place to me, the ability to merge ideas and creativity no matter the restraints of location.

Watch the interview HERE.

I have had some interesting conversations this past few days, and a lot of it has been about New Residents.I turned 2 the other day, and as I have mentioned in the past, as have many others, a lot has changed in that two years in Phils Place.

We have grown to ginormous proportions, but one thing has changed noticeably, or perhaps actually without notice at all. Everything is FASTER! have you noticed that?. When I came in world, yes I was brought in and yes morphed within 30 minutes by my friend and his friends, but never felt inundated by that, just went with the flow, day two I was already settled where I planned on being and then took my time learning things, had helpful advice from the people that owned where I was, didn’t find out until I was already too old that Gurl 6 had her free hair deal, but had money and already had by then bought lots of hair – lol so I thought at the time – so just shopped there happy to find more.

Had sooo many freebies from places that used to pack them all into one box and spent hours every day unpacking at my leisure and oooing and ahhhing over my treasures. I remember my first lesson on uploading a picture and making a prim and thinking that my semi transparent luis royo print with water animation added was the best thing since sliced bread.

But now its, omg did you get the skins from Adam n Eve?, and did you go to Fleur yet?, you have to mod your shape?, and learn this? ,do that know this?, go there. I mean half the grid of females can all probably admit to wearing the Passport Malibu skin by Starley for at least a month if not more when they started out, and everyone was happy.

We used to joke about shopping more than any amount of events could possibly happen to wear them all to, but now thats quadrupled in volume – don’t get me wrong I’m all for shopping. Thing is now there are so many more events, Openings, Hunts , Fundraisers, Promotions, Pageants, Fashion Shows and so many other occasions that happen constantly.

It’s getting exhausting just trying to work them all into some kind of order, never mind actually attending them, and if they conflict OMG which do you go to, or can you go to both if enough time overlaps.I know how hard it is for myself and many others that have been in world for an extended period of time, we know what we can manage and if we work or own businesses, we know that we cant spread ourselves that thin.

But New people don’t, they get this crazy fast tracked explanation of what Phils Place is all about, when we are convinced we are helping, and yes we are in a way, but to what point, yes I know myself I have my folder ready to pass on and say ok here is all these landmarks no go get all that stuff so you can look a certain way and then have fun. I realised though last night I dont tend to tell them to do that folder at a slow pace, that they have a month for some and a few weeks for others to obtain the goodies.

We used to tell people to go to sandboxes and learn how to unpack things and try on things and spend time learning the basics, I can’t remember the last time I taught anyone to unpack a box.I know that a lot of my dealings with new Residents is when they are trying to get their first hair etc, and so I do teach them some basics when going through those points, but it amazes me daily when dealing with even older residents as in at least 6 months old, that they don’t know where to find transaction information , the way Phils Place is lately that is something you MUST KNOW!.

I found torleys tutorials at the end of last year early this year, not sure when its all a blur, but it blew my mind that I didn’t know about them, and yes they might not be what everyone needs to watch but why the hell isn’t that on the front page of the website?, there are valuable bits of info in them, why don’t they have those tips and tricks right at the start?.

Also recently I had a girl spam our group, I IM’d her informed her that what she had done will not be tolerated again etc etc, when I spoke to her she was mortified, her reason to do so wasn’t to spam it was to share, the people that owned the store she spammed the slurl to had treated her so nicely in her first few days in world that she thought she would let people know of their business, so cute and I actually really believed her… she felt so bad that she may have ruined their reputation she was going to write them a note card saying what she had done and apologise.

Believe me I dont for a second believe all are doing it for that reason, but how many get promises of money or products to do that and don’t actually realise its not just advertising, I mean person A says to New Person B ‘I will pay you to send messages to other residents using these steps ” I mean how would a new person really know that thats not a process in Phils Place like mail box brochures in RL. I would think it would make a lot of sense when looking at it from the terms of ‘ Yeah the Mothership only gives us 25 groups and I cant send notices to all that need to know the info because of those limits, so if you join 25 or even swap them over and send my notices for me I will pay you ” sounds normal to me, but it isn’t .

Bigger groups are having to pay for subscribe-o-matics to stop the constant spamming, and for the most part those people are always new to Phils Place. Also with all the failed deliveries and stale transactions of late, so many businesses are constantly trying to keep up with customer issues and never actually have time to create as much as they want to.

Thats the other thing that New Residents dont understand until a long enough amount of time in Phils Place, the fact that the Mothership has issues daily… it is not some crazy scam that designers are orchestrating to part them with their moola, but actual technical difficulties, and when people are New they tend to only associate with other New people, so that info doesn’t get passed on too easily either. I don’t know what my actual reason for this post is, other than we need to step back a bit, slow down, something that will level out the status quo or something.

I almost wrote a post a few weeks back, that was going to be titled ‘I hate Designers in Seclusion’ oh lordy that would have been interesting to watch see people take it all wrong, the idea of the post was going to be based on the fact that many designers are more than just group members, they really are cut off from everything, trying so hard to create and manage their businesses, and at what cost?.

Phils Place is the only 24/7 operating 365 days a year industry that I know of, it may be virtual but the computers don’t work the people do, and they work hard. Every single day Designers and Creators and Staff log on and deal with what has occurred in the time that they may have taken a few hours sleep, or had to drive the kids to school or in a lot of cases, work their full time RL jobs.

But that doesnt stop Phils Place or even slow it down, I have seen many comments and heard general chat about the Hunts and Shows and all those other things that are pulling and stretching everyone so thinly, and I thought WHY ?. Why do we have to get something from Designers constantly to appreciate their talent etc.

I want a different event, I want a HUNT A DESIGNER! I want an INTERNATIONAL DESIGNER APPRECIATION WEEK! like a huge Phils Place wide event where every single Designer/ Creator has a sign up in their stores stating what days and times they can be in their store for a meet and greet . A few weeks back Digit and I had to go set up in the middle of an event at a sim she has a store at, and people that arrived at the store nearly peed their pants that she was there , in person. It was seriously adorable.

They were oooing and aaaaing over her and telling her how much they loved her designs, and how they found her store way back when, and how their special moment was in one of her creations etc etc, and thats not the first time I have seen that happen with designers. People of Phils Place honestly adore meeting the people that create their inventory, last year prior to hair fair I had to take pics of all the Hair Designers, over 50 designers at my house one at a time, I WAS IN HAIR ADDICTS HEAVEN.

Not only did I get to meet some incredible people, but some brought their partners along too and I was in more heaven as many have creative partners as well, lol – if they only knew how excited I was, its amazing I got any pics taken at all. I remember once being tpd to a lucky chair thing at Calla and Sylfie Minogue tpd in, I actually “OMG its Sylfie ” ‘d into open chat, poor woman, I probably freaked her out lol. That also would happen a lot when designers are shopping I am sure, but if the events were in their own stores or land, in their own Meet and Greet environment IT WOULD ROCK !.

Imagine the themes too, I mean Antonia could have a sock hop at Artilleri, or even a clam bake and we can all dress as Gidget and Moondoggy – Omg I loved him so bad. Sachi could have a ladies luncheon or high tea – she is British after all :P. Six could have a Pyjama Party and we could brush each others hair *giggles*.

I dont know I completely went from one thing to another, but I would just love us all to SLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Down and do some events where there is nothing to gain but experience, getting to appreciate the content creators that really enrich our lives, and also to hear experiences of their own Phils Place lives, In my years here I have heard many stories of how one designer started out because they were so inspired by another and so on.I also know that many designers are inspired by their customers for one reason or another, whether its by a nice notecard sent to them when they were starting out, or just the fact that every time they release something that person is the first to tp in. But often due to other things going on Designers dont get to spend quality time talking to people that they would love to take a few moments to talk to.

Also not only do content creators have to do this, but also all the other industries, the fashion show people, the modeling agencies, EVERYONE that provides a Service – hee hee at my Have To :P.

Hell each event could be STORY TIME at Phils Place lol. No one take this as me saying that all those other events are bad, they arent, they keep Phils Place lively and are also wonderful ways to meet wonderful people, and lots of people put incredible amounts of time into throwing them. Anyway thats my rant/thunk of the day.
