My RL took over a while back, and is slowly easing up enough for me to get back in the swing of things. There's four brand new items at Sable Rose plus three post-hunt-prize releases, so let's get down to business!

Mainstore - Gallinas Shopatorium: (SLURL)

Inspired by and in honor of my many SL LGBT friends, I'm very proud to present the first four items in the Sable Rose - Pride collection.

For the ladies, the "Kiss of a Woman" snakebite lip piercing, silver twisted rings with Lesbian symbol.

For the gentlemen, the M-2-M necklace, featuring two "male connectors" and subtle rainbow symbols.

For those who identify as Bi, a unisex short necklace with colorful Bisexual symbol pendant.

And last but by no means least, for the members of the Transgendered community, a unisex short corded necklace featuring a TG symbol.

All four of these items are available at the Sable Rose Mainstore at the Shopatorium at Gallinas, and are M/C/NT. For gifting please contact Rosie Barthelmess directly or watch for these items on XstreetSL later today or tonight.

Mainstore - Gallinas Shopatorium: (SLURL)

Easing back into some former hunt items that are being released to the collection after requests from folks who missed them, two Pagan-friendly sets (four items, total) and another installation in the Poisoner's saga.

From the Twisted hunt earlier this year, The Poisoner's Son and The Poisoner's Daughter are now available again in the Gallinas mainstore. The Poisoner's Son is a set of two (one bloodied, one not) snakeskin buckled arm-cuffs for the gentlemen. The Poisoner's Daughter is a lovely charm bracelet complete with poison vials and other tools of the trade. Available either as a set (with both pieces TRANSFER OK, for keeping one and gifting one) or individually with regular C/M/NT perms.

And from the WOTY hunts in early 2010, some sets/items with a Pagan twist:

The Ostara necklaces are not being sold as a set, they are only available individually. The ladies' necklace features a Silver triple-moon Goddess symbol framed by delicate sculpted tulips. The gentlemen's necklace features a cartouche with triple subtly glowing sun symbols, and a Pentacle.

The Green Man necklace set was part of the WOTY Beltaine hunt, and is available as a his/hers set with Transfer permissions for gifting, or the necklaces are available individually. His and hers matching necklaces with matching sculpted gem-eyed Green Man pendants.

One gigantic release to try to come back in with a bang! Watch for more coming your way from Sable Rose throughout the summer, and thank you! Happy shopping!

March is going to be a big month at Sable Rose, and we hope you'll join us!

Gallinas Shopatorium: (SLURL)

We are participating in both the Twisted Hunt Spring 2010 and the Wheel of the Year: Ostara hunt, both of which are now in full swing. We are also a participant in the Shopatorium at Gallinas Tiptoe Through the Tulips Hunt as well!

In our Tulip for the Shopatorium hunt, which goes on until Sunday, March 7, you'll receive both the Ladies Essentials Pearls Set and the Mens Basics Piercing Set, great classic groupings that won't go out of style.

In the Twisted Hunt, the theme this year is "Strange Brew." What stranger brew than to continue the Poisoner's family saga? Last year, we presented the Poisoner and Poisoner's Wife. This time around, it's the Poisoner's Son and Poisoner's Daughter.

And finally in the Ostara hunt, a Pagan-friendly gridwide hunt, you'll receive the his-and-hers Ostara Necklaces set.

As if it wasn't enough to be able to sweep into the shop and get all these great gifts, it's also time to update the Birthday Club for March! March's birthstone is Aquamarine. If your avatar's rezday is in MARCH, stop in and click the button to get your men's or women's (or if you feel like it, both of them) rezday gift from me to you.

My RL birthday is in February, and I came across an excellent idea. Thanks to the scripting talents of Ewan Mureaux, I was able to bring it to fruition so here it is!

Sable Rose announces the Birthday Club! In the mainstores in Gallinas and Filataponic, find these signs with ladies and mens gift-giving buttons. If your REZDAY falls in the calendar month, click to receive your gift styled with your 'birthstone' for the month. Since we're in February, we're all about the Amethyst.

The Celebration pendant and Celebration men's signet ring will keep their style month to month and will be updated with the appropriate birthstone. Stop by to get yours, and spread the word!

-----------------

Valentine's day is around the corner so here's a reminder of our two Valentines releases, one for ladies and one for men. After releasing the Carry My Heart Ring last week, some of the vendors got borky so I am re-announcing it. If you went by the store and were unable to pick up this affordable gift for the man in your life, by all means head back by. All should be fixed now.

Have a great week and happy shopping!

Just in time for Valentine's Day, Sable Rose presents a gift for the man in your life. The "Carry My Heart" ring is a bold, masculine ring with brushed nickel and ruby gems, and comes with both a right-hand and left-hand option in the box.

This man-sized ring is sleek but highly detailed, with a deep blood red faceted ruby gem. Attached to the main ruby gem is a very small, subtle, faceted ruby heart gem. Whether your man is hesitant to wear something covered in hearts or not, this piece is perfect as a reminder of your affection and is something he can wear every day.

This ring is available as NC/M/T and comes in a velvet gift box ready to be given to that someone special.

With the whole Valentine's day find-a-special-gifty-for-your-darlings and/or I-would-like-to-wear-hearts urges that'll be sweeping over us soon, Sable Rose presents the first in a few heart/love/holiday-themed releases for you or yours.

The Mon Coeur ("My Heart") necklace set is a pair of necklaces each created of intertwined, almost chainmail-like, rose gold heart links in a wide, flat, striking shape that drapes over the shoulders and back of the neck.

Each necklace has a chain of single heart links draping down the back with a small faceted pink ruby heart hung at the bottom.

There are two versions of this necklace: "short" and "long". The short version features a large, faceted heart shaped ruby suspended from the structure of the necklace, which is framed by two pink faceted heart rubies at the same height. The long version features some additional heart links that drape over the decolletage gently, with the asymmetrical faceted pink hearts hanging lower than the main center ruby heart.

These two necklaces are available at the Gallinas and Filataponic mainstores for L$200. GIFT VENDORS that provide you a rose-and-cream satin-wrapped gift box with two transfer versions inside (all you have to do is give her the box!) are located with the main vendor. Buy them for yourself: C/M/NT. Buy them for someone else: NC/M/T.

While you're popping in, don't forget to check out the lucky boards!

Thank you and have a wonderful weekend, happy shopping!

So, it's the gifting time of year, and it seems like lots of nifty freebies, dollarbies and gift-with-donations are flying around the grid. One of my "other jobs" in SL is to manage a club called Lounge of Dreams on Zindra, where I'm honored to work with some of the most fabulous people I've met in any life.

Lounge of Dreams: SL's Best All-Male Revue (SLURL) -- Zindra, must be adult verified.

Every month we have a gift that we give away at the club for any amount of donation to the tier thermometer. In December, however, we go a little crazy and have ourselves a Giftapalooza. That means, we cram as many fun, useful and stylish gifts as we can into the tierbox and pack them all in one handy package. Last year we had about 15 gifts in the tierbox. This year is another huge count and Sable Rose has donated a variation on a popular item so I thought I'd cover it here.

First things first: Lounge of Dreams All-Male Revue: (SLURL). Don't let the name distract you, there's gifts for men and women in the box as well as some unisex fun things, and all avies are welcome as long as you're adult-verified.

And then, on to Sable Rose's gifts. We're calling this one "Peace On Earth" and it's a variation on the Coexist set that debuted at this year's Jewelry Fair. Both the men's and women's varieties are included in the tier donation gift.

Now, these are just rough snapshots so don't get all hoity toity, I just want to show you what you can get.

The men's and women's sets are strung on leather and silver respectively, with each of the faith charms tinted a different shade and a rainbow tinted peace sign suspended beneath the charms.

PEACE ON EARTH Necklace by Sable Rose, men's and women's, both in the tier thermometer giftapalooza gift with donation.

In addition to the SR jewelry, there's a TON of other great things and I'd like to list as many as I can here. Some really talented content creators have put things together just for this gift.

The sort of BONANZA of the gift was the brainchild of MrZoe Ninetails of MEAT Shapes & Salon For Men, which has its mainstore at the Shopatorium at Gallinas. MrZoe is also one of the managers at our club and is a very talented avatar stylist and shape designer. He wanted to do his take on a "Bad Boy Santa," and has done so with the help of some other talented creators.

I could never do as good a job describing this set as MrZoe, so I'll cheat and take this from his BLOG...
BAD BOY SANTA by MEAT

Oh he knows when you’ve been good or bad and just might give you a spanking either way. This bad boy santa is big, beefy and kinda dirty. You could try leaving him cookies and milk but he would find and drink all your tequila. He smokes and swears and will drop his shorts upon request: he’s got a nice bum and he’s not afraid to show it. This santa comes fully loaded and ready to deliver.

Package Includes:

Bad Boy Santa shape by MEAT (SLURL)
Red Velvet Bad Santa Boxers by Noirran Marx of Sangre Noir (SLURL)
Bad Tempest (bad santa) hat & hair by Nix Winterfeld of .:Fiction:, in TWO SIZES, one men's, one women's (SLURL)
Bad Boy Santa Jingle Bell Nipple Rings by Sable Rose (Wheee!)
Oddmenthol Bad Boy Santa smoke by Helix Constantine at Oddment (SLURL)
plus Bad Santa Tool Belt, Bad Santa gloves, socks, and boots.

So, there's a great men's shape, 350L+ on its own, plus L$250 hair (x2), scripted cigarette, men's boxer shorts, and JINGLE BELL NIPPLE RINGS, people. It's priceless!

But wait, THERE'S MORE.

Guenevere DeCuir of .:CoLLisions:. has donated two original tattoos, one for the ladies and one for the men, also included:

Allegory, for the ladies:

And Tesla, for the men:

So now we've got his/her necklaces, essentially a full avatar kit for a guy with extra added stuff like a second size of hair for the gals or nipple rings which could be unisex, plus TATTOOS.

And yet, there is more.

Marx Dudek of MARXI (SLURL) donated a Mistletoe Cuddle-Anywhere HUD which allows you to get snugglybuggly whether you're under those mystical leaves or not! Also, she created and donated a set of Naughty/Nice T-Shirts for guys and gals. Stop by Marx's store, speaking of naughty and nice, and check out her range of nifty things from the innocent to the snarky, to the delightfully naughty.

Helix Constantine, the wildly creative mind behind Oddment Mainstore (SLURL) not only created the totally amazing 6-prim sculpted texture change Christmas trees and the strings of holiday lights you'll see when you get to Lounge of Dreams or if you visit the Shopatorium at Gallinas, but she also donated something on the sassy-naughty side. Behold, the Ho Ho Horny Horns!

These peppermint-striped beauties dangle teensy little peppermint peens along with ribbons and holly leaves, and she even included a little ... candy ... C'mon, how can you NOT get the kind of giggle out of that, that makes you wanna run over and get one? You know you want to!

Raeyn Sirnah, whom many of you may know as a prolific blogger on Free Finds For Men also owns a pose shop called Poetic Poses. You can find his shop at the Shopatorium at Gallinas (SLURL). He creates poses inspired by verses of poetry, and all of his pose sets come with poseballs or linksets of poseballs, plus the raw pose/animation to add to an AO or posestand if you wish. Quite a bargain and he's very creative. His contribution to the Lounge of Dreams Giftapalooza 2009 is a pose set called, "We Three Kings."

And if you can believe it, this isn't even all the gifts that are there in one easy to carry box for your donation of any amount. Run, don't walk, to Lounge of Dreams nightclub. Head in through the front entrance and to the right. On the wall near the Drama Llama you'll see this sign, and the purple tier thermometer hanging on a pillar:

Pay any donation amount into the thermometer and the gift is yours. 1L, 100L, 1000L, whatever you can afford, whatever you think's fair, whatever you feel like "getting away with," any amount 1 Linden and over will get you this gift. Spread the word to adult-verified new residents too, as this is a great way for them to get some hefty swag for almost nothing.

If you stop by between 6-10pm nightly to do your gift gettin', I know you'll run into the friendliest staff and guests on the grid and they'll be anxious to treat you like part of our family. Everyone's welcome.

Lounge of Dreams: SL's Best All-Male Revue (SLURL) -- Zindra, must be adult verified.

Thanks everyone, and happy holidays from me, Rosie Barthelmess, from Sable Rose Jewelry, and from the management and staff at Lounge of Dreams.

Hi everybody! First, let's get on with the pretties, then information about the Holiday Gifting program, Winterstock, and Footwear Expo 2009!

What's that, did someone say SHOES?

The Shoe Addict set, created in honor of Footwear Expo 2009, definitely makes a statement! Brown suede ankle boots dangle from silver earring hooks. An intricate twisted silver chain shows off not only stiletto heels in every color of the rainbow plus leather, latex, tartan and snakeskin, but the word "addict" is spelled out on the upper chain. The centerpiece? Why, a tropical-print flip-flop front and center, of course! Just a little something fun for the shopaholic in all of us, L$150.

Find Shoe Addict at the Gallinas store on the new item wall next to the new Logan set for men, and later today at Filataponic and Xstreet.

Now, on to recap some quick gifting stuffs and Winterstock. We're proud to have a stall at Winterstock and between the Winterstock stall and me Rosie, we're going to make sure you guys can gift what you want when you want without the impersonal drop-on of Xstreet or the hassle of boxing up your own gifts.

All of the items available at WINTERSTOCK at the Sable Rose shop are pre-wrapped in lovely sculpty gift boxes with wrapping paper and bows, and are transfer versions. Buy a gift off the wall, receive a gift box, and it's ready to put under the tree, in a stocking, or right into someone's hot little hand.

Normally, Sable Rose items are M/C/NT but all the items at the Winterstock shop are NC/M/T for easy gifting. A wide variety of mens, womens and unisex stylings are available for gifting including:

The entire Zodiac necklace series
Tiny Dancer - Gold
Isadora Jewelry Set
Starlin Jewelry Set
Bonibaru Jewelry Set
Lovesong Necklace
Naiad Freshwater Pearl Set
Coexist (Mens and Womens)
Jelivianne Hematite Jewelry Set
Tolerance Rainbow Triquetra
Triple-Chain Ankh
Handcuff Jewelry SET incl. bracelets, necklace & ear cuffs
Logan -- New Men's release!
Jael (Azure) -- New Women's Release!
Stone Bead Choker
Pentacle & Feather Choker
Iwaa Jewelry Set

I am also instituting a gifting policy this holiday, so if you have something not on that list that you'd like to gift in a Xfer version, for the cost of the item plus L$25 I will wrap it in a lovely sculpty gift box (red/green or blue/silver) in a NC/M/T version so you can gift at your leisure. Drop a notecard on Rosie Barthelmess with the information about what you'd like giftwrapped.

-----

Now, back to Footwear Expo. Just a little "Wheeeee!" on my part but I'm going to be one of the models in the Footwear Expo Fashion Show on Saturday at 1pm SLT. So, make sure you boogie on over there and pick up some shooz -- the charity for the Fair is Marine Toys For Tots, and I've performed a couple of sets singing on the stage while the Fair's been going on with my tips going to the charity. It's a great charity and there's lots of chances to give, between raffle tickets, donation kiosks or buying shoes that the talented designers have put out with proceeds for Toys for Tots. So if you haven't already checked it out, hopefully we'll see you there Saturday. Fair ends this weekend!
