And the Winning Bimbos Cheerleaders are...

You didn't think I'd just blurt it out like that, did you? lol

First, I'd like to say a huge thank you to the many Bimbos Cheerleaders who entered SPIRIT's contest to see who would get to model our upcoming new Bimbos makeups in our soon-to-be-released new skin line! Everyone was gorgeous and made it extremely difficult to make a decision. So much so that it took me an extra day to narrow down the selection!

But narrow it down I did until finally we ended up with the following 7 ladies, who will be receiving all 4 Bimbos Cheerleaders makeups plus appear as models for these makeups on the skin vendors as well as in upcoming SPIRIT ads...

(in no particular order...)
- DagnyT Dagger
- Qing Luan
- Cheri Canning
- Leslie Laville
- Symantha Oh
- AmberAnn Toshi
- Trixibell Coldstream

Again, thank you to everyone who entered! And to the ladies whose names are listed above, please be on the lookout for a notecard with information about how to set up your photo shoot this week.

New Review/Feature @ Savoir Hair and Fab Free!

The Irish Spirit I hairstyle was reviewed by an obviously Irish-knowledgeable Teagan Blackthorne at Savoir Hair (click here for the full review), and the limited time Irish Step Dance Velvet Costume & Skins Freebie Sets were featured at Fabulously Free, a wonderful resource that shows some of the best freebies and dollarbies available in SL. Be sure to visit both blogs and add them to your list of daily reads...they're well worth it!

Thank you both, Teagan and Cherlindrea, for reviewing SPIRIT's latest releases and helping to spread the word about the Irish spirit now at SPIRIT!

Meeting My Twin...

Guess who I ran into this evening in SL? My twin! LOL Actually, my "twin" was Teagan Blackthorne, blogger for Savoir Hair and Avengers (among her many credits!). Can you tell which one of us is which in the pic? I doubt you can, even I had to remember where I was standing during the conversation before I could tell who was who!

Is it too vain sounding to say that Teagan looked GREAT in that costume, hair, and skin, though? :D

Here's the link to her post with the original pic.

Irish Step Dance Collection Now @ SPIRIT!

6 hours of sleep a night, times the last 3 days, makes this designer one tired woman!

But I'm really happy to announce that at long last, all you green lovin' Irish step dancers now have a collection of highly authentic goodies at SPIRIT!

The Irish Step Dance Collection begins with a release of velvet costumes, shoes, hair, skins, a $1 set to celebrate the upcoming holiday, AND animations! Here are the details and pics...

Irish Step Dance Velvet Costumes...available in 6 colors (crimson, blue, green, purple, black, and silver), features a soft velvet texture overlaid with gold celtic appliques. Available in both adult and kid sizes, each set comes with:

- Top on 3 layers

- Flexi skirt with traditional large box pleats (adult set comes with skirt in 2 sizes)

- Briefs

- Traditional Poodle Socks

- Back Shawl

- Black leather Sculpted Irish Step Dance Soft Shoes with laces that wrap around the ankle and tie in a bow with flexi ends

Irish Spirit I Hairstyle...available in 16 shades, sold in packs of 4 for $300 a pack. Features a smoothly gathered crown that erupts in a riot of tight flexi curls that bounce with your every movement. In front, a velvet and gold tiara is scripted to change to one of 6 textures at a touch, so you can coordinate your hairstyle with your SPIRIT velvet dance costume.

Sculpted Irish Step Dance Soft Shoes...these are also available separately in case you want to pair them with other outfits you already own. The shoes are sculpties textured in black leather with tan leather insoles and tiny black laces that criss cross up through loops on the tops of your feet to wrap around your ankles and end in bows with flexi ends. Included free in every Irish Step Dance Velvet Costume, or sold separately for $200.

Freebie Set! This special set is ONLY available for $1L from now until the day after St. Patrick's Day, so pick up yours from the SPIRIT Dance Theater stage before March 18th! Available in adult and kid sizes. Included in this huge dollarbie set are...

- Irish Step Dance Velvet Costume in Green top on the shirt layer

- Irish Step Dance Velvet Costume in Green flexi skirt (adult set has two skirt sizes)

- Briefs in Green

- Irish Step Dance Velvet Costume in Green back shawl

- Plain White Socks

- Black Sculpted Ballet Slippers

- Irish Step Dance Skins in Irish Green Makeup (all 8 skin tones)

Irish Step Dance Animations...10 Irish step dance animations and poses in this set allow you to pick out one or two for photography purposes for just $75 each (look for the red pose stand in the center of the SPIRIT Dance Theater stage to try and buy them individually). Or look for the vendor sign on the stage just behind the animation/pose stand to purchase the entire set for $500 (that's a savings of $250!) AND get the Irish Step Dance Animations HUD included in the set for free! The animations/poses are all modify/copy/no transfer so you can put them in poseballs or animation overriders without fear of accidentally losing them. And the HUD (which you wear like a menu sign on your screen) lets you perform the step dance animations and poses at the click of a button on the HUD...so you can dance to your wee heart's content anytime, anywhere, and even put together your own Irish step dance reels without having to know anything about animations or choreography! Get together with others who have one of these HUDS as well, and you can even perform as an Irish step dance team! And when you get tired of dancing and need a rest, just click on the SPIRIT U Animations logo at the top of the HUD to stop any animation or pose.

Don't miss your chance to pick up your awesome Freebie Set available for $1 only until Tuesday the 18th! You can find all currently available items in this collection on display on the SPIRIT Dance Theater stage (SPIRIT Kid items are in their own dressing room backstage, farthest room on the right). Be sure to try out the quick and easy teleport board now set up to your right when you arrive at SPIRIT...it'll save you time and get you to each area of SPIRIT super fast!
