A New Year is here! 2011 is in full swing and it's already January 2nd. Many of you will be going back to work tomorrow on Monday to a full weekly schedule while others are creating new content for the grid; just waiting for the right moment to share it with all of us.


Xavi was busy the last few days contacting special members and loyal old members about new concepts for our group, THE A LIST! Though we (Xavier and Raftwet) both may not agree on every issue, we both agree that it is time to reward our loyal members. Those are the original members who have stuck with us through the growing pains of this group. We all learned along the way that our original concept had credence and worth.





We both thank you all very much!


Our new members, and new friends do not need to fear. We respect this entire group and their personal interests and businesses. We only want to let all of you know how much we honor each and everyone of you.


Please take the time to contact us with any ideas or criticisms while we are in-world. Please keep in mind that your notecards and IM's are not always received by us when we are offline. Both of us have huge inventories, and the grid communication can be a nightmare as it applies to group IMs and offline emails. So, please be patient and try catching us online.





And, again, thank you for your kind support and acknowledgement. We are blessed to have this group! THE A LIST! rocks... and so do you!

presents


Makeover Madness Contest




September 21 - October 4, 2010

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Details and Rules:



NOTE ** This contest is open to both male and female avatars. In the event a male wins, they may gift the skins from LionSkins to a female friend. All other prizes remain the same.

What's more fun in SL than shopping?  Well, for one thing, shopping for a makeover!  Have you grown tired of your look? Want something new and exciting?  Well, have we got a deal for you!

LeeZu! is hosting a makeover contest.  Show us your worst look and convince us that you need a makeover desperately.  Need new hair? Skin? Clothes? Shoes? Shapes? Eyes?  LeeZu Baxter, owner of [LeeZu!] Couture clothing, in cooperation with Music Hyun, owner of *p_OO_f*, professional makeover consultant, Serenity Mercier, owner of the popular Ananke Media Systems which brings you PhotoStage, and Lion Jonesford of LionSkins, maker of quality skins in SL, is ready to give you the makeover of your life!   And all you have to do is show us that you need one.

Take a photo of yourself, the less flattering the better, and submit it to us along with a short paragraph telling us why you deserve a complete makeover.

RULES:

All photos must be square format, either 512 X 512 or 1024 X 1024.  Any photos submitted that are any other size will be automatically disqualified.

Post processing is permitted but should not alter the essential avatar appearance.  No morphs!

One submission per avatar. If you have an alt that you want to enter, that is permitted, but the entry must be submitted under the alt's name.

DETAILS:

Create a Folder called "LeeZu! Makeover - Your Name" and include a notecard telling us why you need a  makeover. Maybe you had a bad hairday, or got caught in a tornado.  Just have fun with it.

Take a snapshot of yourself at your worst. Think 'opposite of glamour shots'.  Include the photo in the folder "FULL PERMS" and name the photo "Help Me - Your Name". Remember.. all photos MUST be square.. either 512 X 512 or 1024 X 1024.

Submit the folder which should include a notecard and a photo to Barbara Nicholls. All submissions will be judged by LeeZu! management and the person needing a makeover the most will win the grand prize.

Virtual Lab has just uploaded a beautiful club concept from Switzerland.



Machinima artist and dj,  Eifachfilm sent a shout through THE A LIST! and we came over to check it out.






When I arrived, I was struck with a sense of peaceful existence with the digital grid. I could feel no lag!



Following the stairs as they unfolded in front of us, we climbed our way to the club.


You have to see this place. The photos do not give it justice. You must go to experience it.

Outdoor Garden Sale!

When surreal botanical artist Soror Nishi recently announced she would no longer make her creations available in SL (except for occasional new shows), some alarmed friends and appreciators asked her to offer her old creations one last time.

So for one to weeks her amazing, vividly colored, joyous trees and flowers will be hosted at Prism Lila.

IMPORTANT: Please look up!! There are three platforms above the ground parcel.

Past shows and gallery exhibits:
She has shown "flora virtua exotica" at Burning Life 07 & 08, NPIRL Garden of Delights, Orange Island, The Hill (arts, sculpture and dance club), Vision Gallery, le parc des arts, and an extensive refurbishment of Avgi, Isle of Awakening, SL6B, Phoenicia,  Lalalala Gallery, Evolution Gallery, Angelgate,The Vienna Quarter, Formes Nocturnes and  Poetik velvets, Raglan Shire, BL09, REN, University of Western Australia, :::soup Magoo:::,Deutche Info Welt, University of Delaware.... and ... (maybe some others I have forgotten.)

Fashion Resources!

Well, I gave an art seminar today so I dressed the part... at least I think so. The easel is from RC Cluster and is far too cute.. at least on my back deck it is!! If you've never been to RC Cluster you simply have to visit. Miss Redd Columbia is one funny lady! And I do mean that in the very best way possible!

MOM promotions

MOM promotions, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.

A whimsical shopping experience for dance animations accompanys live music at Ministry of Motion on a regular basis. Tonight, we caught Raspbury Rearwin with his guitar.






Nomash Syaka is the creative mind behind this whimsy and madness. Flying noobs, pink elephants and bananas float through the sky.



Avis trying out the dance animations through 100's of dance pads and walking on the beautiful water, this place is a total fantasy shopping experience.



Live musicians are here daily from Max Kleene to Noma Falta. All kinds of promotions to win you over include free dancing, free lindens and more.

This is shopping at its best! Go play and listen! Woot!
