Merry Christmas and End-of-Year Sale Announced!

Well, as 2010 winds to close, I wanted to take the oppurtunity to wish all of you a wonderful, safe and very MERRY Christmas. I hope Santa is kind to you all, and that you get some time off to enjoy with friends and family.
For VIPs and bargain hunters out there I have two fantastic announcements to finalise our events here at StarChild;
1. The annual BOXING DAY $100 linden sale will start at midnight (thats 12:00am in SL-time folks!) this Sunday 26th December. Like the last two years, EVERYTHING currently stocked in our main StarChild store will be $100 linden or less! Wedding dresses slashed, vintage going cheap, burlesque bargains and costumes galore - BUT FOR 24 HOURS ONLY so make sure you grab a bargain as we make way for the stunning new 2011 collection to hit stores on 1st January.
2. So this brings me to my second announcement....the last few months the StarChild team has been hard at work dreaming up some amazing new costumes and vintage outfits to be released in 2011! We have listened to all your suggestions and requests throughout the year, and our first collection to be released on JANUARY will be our Winter 2011 design collection - full of cuddly warm jackets, hats and new gowns/suits to keep you looking at your best! Watch this space for more to come...

Raising Funds for Charity - Make a Wish Foundation

Now that December and Christmas is almost here, I thought it was time to focus a little more on the "giving" message that Christmas brings. I have designed two special 'Christmas' editions of the brand new Winter 2011 jackets designs about to be released in a few weeks. For just $50 each this will be your chance to sample some brand-spanking new designs for a fraction of what they will cost when released as part of our new design range. BEST OF ALL - 100% of all sales will be going directly to the "Make a Wish" Charity!
(For more info see raising money for "Make a Wish" Foundation page)

So today, I am exceptionally proud to announce two new charity outfits from StarChild. For the ladies, a cosy vintage winter jacket in a festive red plaid trim - perfect for those cold winter mornings! For the men, our brand new trenchcoat - both short and long styles included, in a dark red just for this Christmas. See below for pictures of whats on offer!

 Enjoy!

Finally...I have heard your many requests and got around to designing the first of hopefully a wide range of vintage swimsuits. Naturally I started with the iconic brightly striped one-piece swimsuits from the 1920s era. So quaint - and there are two styles, Navy Stripe and Red Stripe for both gentlemen and ladies in store right now!

Not satisfied to finish there, I've added two ladies 1930s styled swimsuits to the collection, in a "Blue Check" and "Pink Flower" patterns. Naturally, for the ladies, all the swimsuit include the hats pictured here...one must not be seen with one's head uncovered on the beach after all! Grab them in-store now and enjoy :)

StarChild Store Closing Down

Dear StarChild fans,

It is with great regret that I have to inform you that the main StarChild Store and SIM will be closing down for good on August 31st. A combination of personal RL tragedy and rising SL costs have meant that I can no longer devote the time needed to keep our SIM running. To that effect I am hosting a "closing down" sale on our SIM for the next 2 weeks (August 16 - 30) - and EVERYTHING will be marked down to $100 or less. Grab some AMAZING bargains while you still can!

I will also still have all our fantastic StarChild outfits and creations available on the Marketplace (also on SL exchange) after August 31st until we re-open a new store elsewhere later in the year. PLUS I'll still be creating new and amazing outfits throughout the year which you will find here as well. You can find our "online store" on the internet using this link https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/36340

With love,
Tatiana Starsider
