Zellweger-Herrera Oscars Formal Gown
For anyone who follows Red Carpet fashion, it's no secret that Renee Zellweger is seldom seen in any other designer but Carolina Herrera. And while often there's a miniscule hint of whimsy in Herrera's lines, she is mainly known for more classic styles, "safe" for the not-so-fashionista red-carpet-walkers like Zellweger who has been heavily criticized for her faithlessness in any other label.
This is the dress that shut up the critical fashion paparazzi....
It's a silver sequined stunner with femininity softening the glitzy shine. With a mixture of asymmetrical sequined banding on the bodice for waistline slimming, and the same banding angled outward from waist to foot for a similar visual effect, the strapless dress has a low sweetheart neckline which features beaded fringe flexi trim from side to side over the jeweled True Bust prim. The bodice dips in back to a slightly-below waist U-back with the same sequined banding. The beaded fringe is repeated on the high left leg slit. The ensemble comes with slit-leg glitch, two top options, two brooches, a True Bust prim, and for those who want more ruffle in their step, a prim skirt (optional).

Beautiful sleek and sexy styling comes to S0phie's Choice Design in the
Bellaguzzi Stiletto line.
Bellaguzzi is a word (created by me :) that means "beautifully sharp" from heel tip to toe box, that is clearly undeniable.
Several colors are available in all stores now in peau de soie reflecting the warmth and richness of the holidays! Pictured left is the first in the Bellaguzzi Bridal line which is the Mother-of-Pearl encrusted shoe.
This shoe is available in the main store now, but it will be included in the next celebrity dress release slated for Saturday, December 11, 2010.
Don't forget, if these are on someone's Christmas list who's been especially good this year, the gift vendors are located upstairs!

Anne Hathaway's ARMANI PRIVE
This dress looked a challenge for quite some time, and I gave this some careful thought about how to approach the more difficult elements of this dress. One of the hardest things to do is to make a heavily detailed dress realistic, to somehow translate real life 3D to the singular dimension that dominates SL clothing. I could try to place sequins all over the gown using prim or sculpts, but then, who would want to wear such a headache of a dress out in clubs and ballrooms which prefer you to come in with noob hair, junk shoes, and no jewelry...at all?!
Ever-conscious of the necessity to "prim down" designs and looks, I developed the Armani Prive fully texture-based in the top, glitch, and skirt, and keeping prim to a minimum in only the flexi skirt and a new feature I'm surprised has not yet been introduced in SL.
The *~s0c~* Signature Bodice provides quality garments with the highest degree of realism with the most rezzable materials currently available for fine women's apparel. Garments made with the *~s0c~* Signature Bodice will provide a natural fabric look horizontally across the bustline instead of your garment "sinking" into your cleavage; however, you will have "clean cleavage" with no trace of the garment between the breasts in the cleavage area either just your gorgeous skin! Garments don't do this in your real life, so why should your second life garments reflect less quality? The Signature Bodice offers a consistent look cup to cup, exactly as a real bodice does! Of course, for those of you who love to accentuate your cleavage, both bodice types are included in ensembles labeled with the *~s0c~* Signature Bodice feature!
The Hathaway-Armani Prive is one of the most iconic gowns of this century, and you can find it only at S0phie's Choice Design.

My 15 Minutes. . .
I was interviewed on BOSL radio Saturday, July 3 during their Fashion Fest coverage!
Innoright?
"omgomgomg . . . on air . . . God, I hope I don't sound utterly stupid! Wonder what kind of questions they're gonna ask me?!?!?"
So the time slot rolls, there's a delay so I can't really listen to myself on air because I can hear what I've just said 10 seconds prior. Too confusing. My question?
"Tell us about yourself and your store."
Wow. Wish I had seen that coming, I'd have prepared a paragraph or something!
The hosts were super-cordial though, and the 15 minute interview went very fast. I shared how long I've been designing, what my line is like, and I even plugged the "Early Paris" sim along with its builder LollyPop Congrejo. No stuttering, even. Anyone who knows me knows how I handle talking....ahem.
It was great fun, but not letting it get counted as my 15 minutes of fame!
SL is, well, SL
This isn't going to be a rant, but too many merchants are severely affected by the series of "decisions" that have been pursued with alarmingly obvious devastation to the land-owners and merchants of SL: LL Homes, Viewer 2.0's completely builder-unfriendly UI, borked Search FOREVER, and now a version of "Marketplace" that pales to the minimal marketing tools that used to be available on XstreetSL.
Seriously, SL isn't the only company to shoot itself not only in both feet, but in its heart as well. I just hate watching this suicide occur.

Tribute to Lagerfeld
The moment that was sent, I was asked to submit one for review to Opium Agency for blog inclusion, lol. Not really sure how I feel about sending my designs *free* all over the place. I'm still new at things, relatively; essentially unaware of the extensive network and how things operate, but I have a feeling Fashion Fest will be an enormous learning experience! Already, in just two weeks, my entire image has started to glisten with the extra polish.
So the design at right is a reproduction of an actual Karl Lagerfeld 2009 runway creation. The dress is a metallic silky rayon taffeta in a platinum color which is the one of a kind in SL. The original color in pewter along with a bridal version which I'll share once Fashion Fest opens includes all of the following 3 metallics, 4 pastels, and 4 gemstone colors on sale beginning July 2 at Fashion Fest only then in main store after July 11: amethyst, aqua, barely mauve, copper, emerald, gold, lavender, onyx, ORIGINAL in pewter, ruby, sapphire, and sky blue.
I'll be attending most evenings of Fashion Fest after 6 pm. Come visit!

Fashion Fest July 2-11
I'll be premiering the pink version of my Pretty Woman Polo Ensemble I've been holding onto for several weeks just for this event! It will be one of the RFL vendor items as well.
I'll have several new items to premier at this show including some casual summer items in vintage style as well as a few fun nautical and tropical floral patterns to show off. Most exciting is that I'll be premiering a Lagerfeld dress just for this show! Given time, I'll update the blog with pics!

Market Day wrap up!
While there was a small turn-out for Martini in the Morning's lunchtime broadcast of the "Two Martini Lunch," vendors came out to support this featured musical part of Market Day, and Brad "Martini" Chambers mentioned Market Day in his broadcast! We'll be inviting him back to Argenteuil along with his lunchtime broadcast for certain!
On the other hand, Explosive Concerts blew out the sim with their production of Metallica's Death Magnetic tour attracting over 25 visitors for their 1:45 show. Thankfully the sim is still in one piece :)
If you haven't already done this, make sure to sign up for Market Day News at the Service Desk of S0phie's Choice Design in Argenteuil to stay apprised of our next big event!

Pretty Woman Ensemble
Well, I'm not really a jewelry designer, but I threw in shoes since I'm not really into jewelry!
Yes, "*~s0c~* Pretty Woman Polo Ensemble" has hit Xstreet and my shop. Right now, the "Punch" version of this dress is the Market Day promo, so you can get a super deal if you're willing to put in a little effort, buy half of the outfit on Xstreet, then visit my Market Day Stall, which btw, is on my NEW HOME SIM!
The ensemble comes in the classic brown, basic black, and Fashion Fest 2010 pink which is being saved for Relay for Life auction. Once the Fest begins, the dress will be offered in a special vendor where a portion of the proceeds will be donated to that very worthy cause.
Stop in to the store, see what's new. Espadrilles are going like CRAZY!!!

Any TP within the common areas of Argenteuil will take you to great shopping at either LiX for casual men's and women's or formal and dressy casual for women at S0phie's Choice Design. But before you leave, toss a few breadcrumbs to the baby swans and grab a boat ride for a gorgeous view of the waterways while enjoying the lounge sounds of Martini in the Morning.
Thanks for visiting during Grand Opening week!

GRID STATUS: Market Day EXPOsed & Uncensored!
Between us and Zindra Unzipped, I'm thinking that the attention of the Lindens is more focused on disabling competition to their "ZEXPO" than fixing the grid problems. As of this writing there are a scant 4k+ logged in, and it's likely they will continue to drag their feet fixing this problem for days if not hours. Why? Cuz they can.
As we frustratedly wait on the grid to come back up for most people, I can assure you the Merchant Guild is in cooperation with our sim host of Market Day EXPOsed & Uncensored! during this time to extend our event, potentially lacking the entertainment we'd hoped to offer, through the weekend.
I think KittyCat our sim host would be incredibly happy, in fact, since our traffic was 7093 on the first day, and 1.5 times that much working up to the second day!
Stay posted here, those of you interested, and we'll update as soon as we can on Market Day status!

Spring brings new site, new dress
Yesterday I established *~s0c~* Enterprises website! It's a template (UGH, I hate those) but for the sake of just getting the site up and running so something would be there, I would NEVER use a template for a website!
http://s0c-enterprises.com/
I've dabbled in web design, so this isn't new for me. I just hope I can spend a little time crafting this site with so many irons in the fire. I know that it's a necessity especially after the expansion into residential rental. That's still very very iffy with the launch of Linden Homes. Conventional Wisdom among the Learned says that Linden Homes has negatively affected realty in SL. I predicted that. *sigh* More waiting, then.
My reproduction red carpet Marchesa dress made for Sandra Bullock premiers Sunday, March 21, first full day of spring! I should have named the blue one Crocus ;) Well, knowing me and names, of course, I'll probably do just that....

SL Merchant Guild
Of course, there were nay-sayers in the lot, bashing LL and describing the myriad ways it could not work, but Summer kept offering refutation :) What struck me, though, and an idea I've been tossing around since I became a merchant is that there is no organized solidarity among us. There is plenty of feedback and help to be had just chatting within my own group--well, when a few aren't complaining how that's spam--and I've given as well as received which is why I think Summer tossed me right in the fire skipping the frying pan altogether.
As we discussed, I offered my ideas (still under development), and as people listened, more volunteered. We have a very key player who is willing to give us space to test out this idea, and if it's successful, we have investors! No names or concrete ideas just yet. All is still in the works, so more to follow.
At any rate, it seemed I was the one with the flow of ideas going and Summer nominated me to start the group. I did, but I have an agenda a mile long for this mercantile association, one goal being to provide support, leadership, and training to those who join. A secondary goal is to be independently competitive of LL if they're more interested in feeding off merchants as opposed to viewing us as fellow content developers and creators. So, I saw this coming from a distance.
In the coming weeks it will be interesting to see what this group morphs into as several have suggested it stay closed for now. I deferred since they know their fellow merchants better than I, but apparently, since they volunteered me to run this thing, they must believe as I do....
Stay tuned on this!

Sautereau Sky Ballroom GRAND OPENING
Linden Homes has kind of put that dream on hold for now. It's simply unwise to invest in a full sim until we know how LL giving away homes to premium account members will shake out. I have guru friends, veterans of SL, who say both ways in favor and against this move by LL. It's a controversy that could go on endlessly. Despite it, the point of any purchase of realty in SL is to establish oneself for some longevity, otherwise, why waste the cash, right?
Sautereau Sky Ballroom will open officially on March 7, 2009 when a series of three days of events celebrating its opening will begin with a Silent Auction. Three of my own red carpet gowns will go up: the best-selling PARIS HILTON MTV AWARDS GOWN, the second best-selling NELLY FURTADO MTV AWARDS GOWN, and the one of a kind ROLAND MOURET for HEIDI KLUM OSCARS GOWN.
In addition to these three, I will also auction off a pair of my new Signature *~sOc~* Stilettos which are full foot-to-toe sculpted shoes with an amazing menu of options including the now-standard features for foot sculpted shoes of sizing, placement, and pedicure color and style options, sexy walk, and sound, but additionally some fun features like footprints! What I'm most proud to release, however, ladies, is that most full-foot sculpt shoes simply are never an exact color match for your skin. My shoes will always be a full color match to whatever skin you wear with EXACT color matching! Your Signature *~sOc~* Stilettos will come with instructions on how to determine your skin's exact color so you can use the color matching system to get that exact match. The Signature *~s0c~* Stilettos will be available March 5!
Not necessarily saving the best for last, but the three-day event also includes a L$500 formalwear contest on Monday when we do blues music, and then Cranston Yordstorm will headline the Grand Opening Party on the Sautereau Sky Garden Terrace. He's relatively newer to SL but has found a secure niche in top-notch ballrooms and clubs such as Frank's Place, Bogart's, and Midnight Romance. Come see him at 5 pm SLT. Landmarks, times, and Ballroom News sign up at the terminal in the Sautereau Sky Galleria. Hope to see you there!

GROWTH!
Unbelievably, in one day I had a vendor join my galleria and a manager at the very same time! The traffic is amazing (5k!!!) thanks to Penny and Shawna, and I'm very busy working on getting yet more vendors into the gorgeous build by WeeChee Zenner.
A bungalow was added today for special private moments for Sautereau Sky Ballroom guests who are age-verified, and I created the room myself. I hope it's eye-pleasing to you! It has a couples dance stand, a 170 channel radio, and my extra special Akaesha sleigh bed. :))
Still searching for vendors and maybe another DJ!

I know, I know, I just did the Grand Opening!?
Well, as luck would have it, I came across a super deal on mainland, and though I had been planning on purchasing an island for residential rentals, the wrench in the works on that very well could be these prefab homes LL will start giving away with premium accounts starting on February 17. Who knows how that will affect the market, so I took my dollars I'd normally spend monthly anyway and put them into a big enough chunk of mainland to support a small-ish ballroom, a ground level retail area for 9-17 vendors, and of course, my home way up in the sky.
It's not that I've given up on the idea of owning an island, it's just that I realize there are more unknown variables which could affect residential rental at the moment. It's time to watch and wait instead of a major move.
So wait, and watch for the opening of the final relocation. I own this region, so it will be stable for quite some time. :) I'm moving to Craggen Maw, and my neighbor across the street with his own third of the sim is Guy Linden. I'm thinking he won't be partying till the wee hours of the night, huh?
The new region will feature a steam-punk ballroom called Sautereau Sky Ballroom and the retail area is Sautereau Sky Galleria. I'll get pics and SLURLs when I update this post. There is limited retail rental space available right now on the region, so if you're a designer who might be interested, please send me a notecard!

American Beauty Bridal Gown
Premiering today, the American Beauty inspired a bride-to-be who's renewing her vows on Sunday February 14, and she bought 6 of the American Beauty red dresses for her bridesmaids!
That alone was pretty inspiring to get me off the red carpet for just a brief moment to get a design out. It's not my dream dress, but it's definitely someone's dream dress, and I added detailing to the American Beauty to make it a stunning classic romantic bridal gown.
The fabric is a jacquard (JAH kurd or correctly in French zhuh KAR), a special kind of woven fabric that creates a raised pattern almost like embossing. While damask (DAH musk) is very flat and also contains special weaving that produces a pattern, it's reversible with one feature of the pattern in a high shine satin, and the other part of the pattern in a dull sheen. Jacquard is not satiny or high shine, but is basically a 3D weave made on a special loom created by Joseph Marie Jacquard.
The dress is a combination of a rose pattern jacquard in ivory with a complementary rose patterned organza, a stiffer sheer woven often with a very subtle sheen. The bodice, glitch, skirt, flexi skirt, gloves, and one of the trains with large bow trim are all in jacquard. The roses on the neckline and atop the gloves are in a sheer rose patterned organza as well as the bow train for the A-line flexi skirt and the large ceremonial overskirt. The train is shorter and narrower, yet still provides a formal touch.
The store has an ad board with more perspectives of this dress.
This dress is available in virginal white upon request :) As if, lol.....

Karma, Full Circle
So later, I'm forcing the mania board which had the--and wow, thanks to all of you 100 visitors yesterday, and the other 100 the day before!--Blue Rose Jacquard shoes in it that it LOCKED TWICE before 9 pm SLT last night! I'm pushing those last few slaps in the store close to 9 pm SLT last night, and a lovely lady with white hair shows up, pointing another in the direction of the "American Beauty" ensemble. And she mentions bridesmaid dress. WOW! I discover that Verity has been married long enough in real life to celebrate one of those landmark occasions on which some couples choose to renew vows. And she's chosen my dress for this occasion, incredibly happy, telling me it's perfect, just what she had always wanted.
I also find out that when she was first married, she wanted ivory and wine colors, but her mother insisted on virginal white and powder blue. I was so moved by the bride's thwarted dream that I started brainstorming to her about a possible wedding gown coordinated with the "American Beauty" and she loves the idea. I already have a custom project now after grand opening, and Verity is one of the kindest most forthright people you could ever meet.
I have said many times that SL is about relationships, and anyone who's been in my store knows I live that with them every day.
I so enjoy design work, but more than that, I enjoy how my patrons enjoy it. It's like making Christmas gifts and watching as people open exactly what they had wanted for a year or more.
So Verity got an excellent deal on the bulk dresses, but I'm sure I got the better deal by meeting someone like her :) I'm so proud to be an integral part of her day. I'll share pics in comments!

Klum-Mouret SUCCESS!
A new sim owner by the name of Hugo Lourbridge had his mall manager Amayenko visit an SL Merchants group today to solicit some vendors to rent out store space with one week's free rent. You know, I'm new, and it's hard to turn down free rent! I jumped right on board, and was lucky enough to get a beautiful corner spot. Many vendors I was chatting with this morning were already concerned though with no rental agreement and no established traffic. Two things a new designer like myself isn't highly concerned with, right?
I'll repeat the name HUGO LOURBRIDGE.....
I'm into setting up a full two hours--keep in mind, I have an enormous list already getting set up for my main store grand opening coming up in a few days--and spending the last half hour on setting out traffic counters, a gift card freebie bag, a group inviter, an affliliate vendor, and of course, some flowers :) Hugo has visited twice already, the second time to tell me how gorgeous the Paris Hilton dress is (and sales support that). This visit, though, Hugo wants to "not be a pain" but could I take down my large picture above the store." I tell him sure, but ask him why. "It's too obvious," was his reply. Isn't it a shopping mall? Okay, so he wants things to be more understated, nevermind that the other vendors have even covered their windows with ads.
No problem, right? No. This guy has to make a mountain out of a molehill, and when I ask him if there's anything else I need to know about strictures in building, he says he doesn't know! It's his sim, yet he has no clue if I can set up an affliliate vendor for some plants and furniture. Wow. I guess that question has him a little peeved since him manager comes to visit me ASAP asking me what my problem was, lol. I tell her there is no problem, but that it's a bit frustrating to be told there are no building restrictions only to be told to take something down for it being too obviously a marketing object meant to attract business and increase sales in--God forbid--a shopping mall. The manager is actually a really sweet young lady, and she assures me that the concerns over no fixed amount for rent and no rental agreement or building codes will be addressed.
They were addressed....
Hugo shows up again, threatening me indirectly by telling me that it's a good deal to have a week of free rent (on a sim with zero traffic), and that if I was unhappy he could put any vendor he chose to in my place. Hugo didn't see how that was threatening, lol. In fact, Hugo didn't like me telling him I did NOT tolerate any sort of threat like that, and that like any other vendor, I expected to have clearly stated preferably written expectations for rent and building. In fact, Hugo disliked that straightforward talk so much he asked me to leave! He assured me though, I could maintain my dignity--he was "being fair" by not kicking me off, lol. Of course, he never followed through on his verbal agreement for one week's free rent though I had done NOTHING in violation of any agreement, had immediately removed a sign he asked me to, and even kept my complaint to him private in IM. Two hours plus absolutely wasted.
He returned my objects (not sure if they're all there) and I assured him I'd make sure as many people as possible would know, especially potential vendors, that he was in BREACH OF VERBAL CONTRACT.
The guy had the nerve to IM me later....I promised him that I'd share our little story to as many as would listen about how he reneged--BREACHED--a verbal agreement with his thin-skinned ineptitude.
Lesson learned, Hugo, and I haven't even gotten to the forums yet.
