Ronson Cool!!!












With a step dad who is an X rock star to Foreigner, a celebrity stylist mama Anne-Dexter Jones, big brother DJ Mark who is up for a Grammy or so, and a couple of twins (Charlotte the constant uprising fashion designer and sis Samantha who is following in her brother's steps as a top notch DJ) oh yeah and a few beautiful youngsters.The Ronson Family couldn't get any cooler if they tried, "could they?"....Actually yes it looks like they could.


Charlotte Ronson is a continually uprising fashion designer who is taking over the world as she has recently opened up a store in Japan and is sold every where else. and she is only 30. Her designing has come a long way from a simple lingerie/t shirt line that once sold in a very small boutique she owned in NYC's Nolita district. She now has an even bigger store in the same neighborhood located on Mulberry Street. The store is packed with her entire clothing and shoe line. Its all a pretty place to stop and just gaze at the wall paper and pin up girl posters. Jen the manager is always a friendly ready and willing sales girl who will help but not push you in a corner to buy something. Charlotte's collection has really advanced in design detail over the years from lapels to plackets right down to the very button placement. Right on Char!!!

They've all got style passion and direction and OMG obviously a set of morale and values. You won't find the socialites stepping out of limos missing a pair of panties. Finally some famous role models have arrived. College educated and all.


Samantha not only DJ's all over Hollywood,but is a singer song writer as well. Everyone should check out her myspace page for a taste of her vocals.

I know we usually don't focus on the famous and fabulous on this page. But after all Charlotte started out way small despite coming from a family fortune. One of the few who didn't dive directly into the big time but rather used baby steps other than rely on daddy. How humbling that is. No immediate runway shows and insta-fame!!!

Oh and don't forget VOTE RONSON!!!




































Zomg... Valentine's Ahoy

Wow, just freaking wow. I hope you guys have all gotten the chance to participate in the Grid Wide Valentine's Hunt (Read more about it here on Creamy's blog).

Grid Wide Valentine Hunt

Beep...beep; just in case you've missed the announcement on basically every blog out there-- There's a grid wide (well 45 store) Valentine (or Anti-Valentine) hunt going on. Teleport to this location (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Sweet%20Sorrow/220/37/369) and you'll recieve a folder (Valentine Hunt Instructions) with all the information you need to participate.

Seasons

When I logged in tonight I was happy to find a little note from Chica Indigo about her new shop Seasons (http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lythria/21/86/81). She included a nice little notecard with information I was free to share on the blog; here is an excerpt:

...the Akemi II traditional Kimono, which is the Seasons opening gift (1L) and you and your readers can find over a table at my store. The other is the Sakura Traditional Kimono, that you can find on a great gift hunt that will start today February 8th at Kaizen mini mall, where my store SEASONS is located (info and LM below). All clothes are on sale (everything below 150L) for the opening and the inventory is growing each day so I hope to see you guys there.

You can also share with everybody in your blog the info about Kaizens Chinese New Year Hunt (more info below), where we have 20 Year of the Rat ornaments (I made 5 of those with great stuff inside including a kimono, jewerly and other fun stuff).


Now I wasn't able to find all 20 rats ($1 each), but here's a picture of some of the things I did find. The leopard unisex skin was part of the hunt. The rest of the looks are worn with hair and skin from the Amorepacific sim.

Seasons

Hope you get a chance to check it out!

Ninja Iga

Today the Ninja Iga sim opened up (official website here). It is a Japanese orientation point, but some of the instructions are in English- so feel free to explore a bit. If you do complete the orientation and solve the puzzle you'll recieve a pretty cool ninja outfit ($0).

Ninja Iga Male

I opted to wear my own shape with the outfit, but a male shape, and also a cool ninja hud is included. There's also a female version ($0), but....

Ninja Iga Female
( Hair from Entama Town (http://slurl.com/secondlife/ENTAMA/133/132/29) $0 and skin from Amorepacific (http://slurl.com/secondlife/AMOREPACIFIC%201/128/128/0) 10 minute camp in spa area)

you'll have to explore to find the pink option. In fact you should probably take a look around the house in the center of the land once you've completed the orientation. Click everything and you'll find lots of places to explore and a couple of 'treasures'. You can also collect scrolls to show your skills at being a ninja. So, if you have a chance visit
the Ninja Iga sim.
