Postponed introduction...

I realize a lot of you have seen my first few posts and might not have understood what direction this blog will be going. Sure, the title is "$100L and Under" and that might seem fairly straightforward but I want to make it clear that even though there are shops/brands that are quite popular, many of you will already be familiar with these as it is.  So, please excuse my obvious neglect of such brands in this blog. My feeling is most of my readers and new comers to Second Life will, if they haven't already, be familiar with brands such as "BitchTail," "Bootgasm," "Envioius" and the like.  I have no ill-will toward those brands as everyone deserves the opportunity to "make a living" as it were.
My main focus in this blog will, however, be the designers/brands that are of the utmost quality. Ones who spend hours focusing on quality, design, color, texture, styling..etc. Yes, many of the designer/brands some of you will already be familiar with like: Gizza, Vero Modero and even occassionally HoWear. (not what I'd call "couture" but I'm still fascinated with the quality of Heide's work and the amazingly hard work she puts in day-in and day-out to produce a "new" outfit daily)

In future posts you should expect to find articles about new releases, group gifts and hunt gifts from new and old favorites as well as occasional, possibly weekly(maybe only monthly) articles about new releases.
I won't post information about sales or events as there are some fantastic blogs and in-world groups who have that covered already and I'd only be repeating what they wrote.  So, I'll spare you that. :) 

This blog will mostly be my personal favorites and items of note. I won't push or promote items, outfits or services I personally have not tested, used or worn or any of those that I have found to be not to my personal standards.  I realize this may seem harsh or one-sided but at least I'm honest.  I also will NOT bad mouth ANY shop, designer, service or region.  As much as I might or might not like something I will not use this as a vehicle for being vindictive.  That helps no one!  :)  
I also would like to add that I, myself, do all my own photography work. If you or anyone may be interested in using my services in that for personal or professional use, please feel free to IM me if I'm online or drop me a NoteCard in-world for price quotes and/or my rate card.  I do give discounts to repeat customers, offer gift cards, honor re-scheduled appointments and give new residents under 100 days old a free first profile pic. (nothing fancy but you'll have something you enjoy seeing and showing off to friends) - I used to, but no longer offer stylist services. I feel doing that along with my photography, blog writing to be quite a handful.  I do not get paid for my writing or photographic art/collections.  Those are usually inspired works using my own avi.
