Talon Faire Fashions & Decor

2012-01-12T18:00:00.000-08:00

Two brand new couple animations released today at the Animation Station @ Talon Faire.

One is a gentle cuddle, a warm embrace; the other is a D/s animation where the Dom feeds his sub from his own hand. An intense experience you won't want to miss!

On a more vanilla side, smile, we have Sit & Chill in both animated and static versions.

(all animations available in both Builder and Consumer Editions)

New Fantasy Skin Released

2011-11-21T06:47:00.001-08:00

I have been delving into the future...

A future where the boundaries of man and machine blur. Out of this future dawn rises a sensual combination of circuitry and man-made flesh.

Talon Faire presents... Gynoid.

Please note the detailed circuitry on her plasti-metal skin. Ready to interface with non-AI as well as AI machines, there are various input node options. When equipped with optional input jacks, this gynoid, female variant of android, is ready to take on any task assigned.

Here she is on a small excursion thru InWorldz' Babylon.

End of the Skin & Hair Fair

2011-11-17T07:48:00.001-08:00

And as quickly as it came.. it is gone!

But what a great show it was! So many talented designers and such cool goodies! I hope you all had a chance to visit and swell your inventory some more! Thank you to the coordinators of the show for allowing Talon Faire to show in our first annual InWorldz Skin & Hair Fair. Looking forward to next year's edition.

Here is Talon Faire's then exclusive offering - coming soon to Talon Faire main shop -

This futuristic new hair do is adorned with flashing diodes and circuitry and comes in six exciting colors. Perfect for any cyber RP or just to make a statement at that hot new club!

Been a Bit..

2011-11-10T08:21:00.000-08:00

Don't want you to think I have been neglecting TF, but I have been kinda busy in RL and in IW and doing and building and animating and !!!! You get the picture...

Meantime though - Talon Faire has a booth in the First Annual InWorldz Skin & Hair Fair!!

This is such an exciting event even though in small numbers. It shows there is a need for such an expo and even more than a need - enough merchants in IW to have a fair showing! It shows InWorldz is GROWING!

I can only imagine what next year will be like and look forward to expand my offerings which grant you, in the skin department have been rather limited up to now as I have been concentrating lately in animations.

So, with out further ado... Here is our exclusive offering to the Skin & Hair Fair:

Lady Blue

Lady Blue is a delicately shaded fantasy skin with subtle but noticeable "human" touches. She is not a N'avi skin, but would be fitting as a fae or a mermaid or even an alien visitor! The right Shape makes the Skin and is limited only by your imagination. Come see Lady Blue and our other offerings today, at the First Annual Skin & Hair Fair ~ See YOU there!

Talon Faire booth is located at: Talon Faire @ The Skin & Hair Fair - (

Flailing

2011-10-19T09:58:00.000-07:00

So I don’t usually do thoughts and personal stuff in here. I try to keep it strictly my catalogue- reminds me I have things to post! Yet there are times I really need to get thoughts written and looked at and considered. Sometimes the writing is cathartic on its own. Most of that ends up as letters to me or unsent emails or what have you. But hey, this is my blog right? I don’t have to worry too much about anyone’s rules about what is OK to post and what isn’t – I can be my own critic thank you very much. So if I find this all too maudlin later I can come back and with a simple digital swipe it will be as if it never was.

Things are changing- and anyone who knows me knows how well I do with change- not! My beautiful sim, Animated Spirits, that until now I have happily shared with a good friend is about to be mine only. I understand his reasons of course but it changes things for me. For one thing, financially of course, frankly, I cannot afford the sim and my lands in SL. So… given that I am barely in SL at all, some of that will need to be let go. I have a lot of land in SL though not a full region. Still it is group land and tied between two premium accounts so- it is a bit of money there and thus one of the premiums is going down.

So, last night it was with sadness that Steely and I packed up our old home. Gathering all our possessions we moved to Misto Presto where Talon Faire is. Up in my build platform we set up our new location and unpacked the house – argh our ‘couch’ seems to have gone MIA- damn movers! But at least the fish made it and the bat and of course--- the peacock! Now I still need to calculate prim usage and then I will need to abandon the land in the old place because no one is buying! Hell, there is a bunch of abandoned land where our home was so selling is out of the question.

This brings me back to IW. So Marcel will collect his things and shut down Erotic Motions. I cannot begin to express my sadness about this but it is what he needs to do.

Another friend said to me this morning she is considering giving up her IW sim- it’s eating up money with little to no return. In this day and age we all have to consider where we spend our money.

Aside from that, it is raining. I like rain. But everything is so grey.

Homes & Residences Expo Opens Today!!

2011-08-31T08:00:00.000-07:00

The First Annual Homes & Residences Expo is being put on by a group of hard working folks out to showcase some of the beauty and skill in InWorldz. The show opens today, August 31 @ the Inworldz Events A, B, C, and D regions. You can find them on your map easily.

Talon Faire is honored to have been invited early on and we have been slaving away to produce the best we can! Find us on Lot 27, by the way.

Presenting Kazumi - 和美 - Beautiful harmony, in Japanese. We feel this Japanese style home represents that balance so characteristic of the Land of the Rising Sun.

Note also, that while adhering to the simple lines so indicative of Japanese style, there are certain nods at Western styles as can be seen in some of the furnishings around the home. This house would be equally fitting at the foot of Mt. Fuji as it would be over looking the California coast.

Please come visit all the wonderful creations the Homes & Residence Expo has to offer and see Talon Faire's own humble submission. All items on display in the home that were created by Amaranthim Talon, are available for purchase, either at the home's Catalogue Room or at Talon Faire. We invite you to take an LM from the convenient giver at the door of the sales room.

Talon Faire wishes to express a special thanks Artfox Daviau for the lush foliage and John Mahogany for the fauna.

2011-08-17T07:29:00.000-07:00

Intrepid explorer! Do you long to travel and explore our world.. but wish to be comfortable while doing so?

Dive 'neath the waters or soar over the highest peaks! Travel ready into the stratosphere! Traverse crossings with nary the blink of an eye!!

Talon Faire has the ideal solution - a well appointed bathysphere to carry you in absolute comfort to any destination. Ready at hand you will find the plans you laid down the night before as you contemplated your next invention. A brandy snifter, filled and waiting; a pipe and humidor should you require them, a dependable lamp, magnifying glass and long distance spy-glass!

All sit at the ready on your fine wood table next to your leather-bound journal. For your comfort, a richly padded and comfortable, winged back chair. Behind you, a bookcase filled with favorite tomes. Next to the bookcase are the controls that once set will direct your vehicle in any direction of your choosing with but finger tip control.

Your vehicle is constructed of the strongest yet most light weight transparent titanium alloy known to man. It is then polished to a high gloss and each sheet carefully riveted to withstand high pressures. The whole thing is then coated with brassinium oxide at very high temperatures ensuring a long lasting golden finish that rivals clear glass but is many times stronger than diamond.

This wearable vehicle is available now for your inspection. It is docked at Talon Faire, second floor, just off Thorne Designs - you can't miss it. Also displayed for your interest, the various components of the study in case your adventuring soul prefers the still land of your own abode.

This picture does not do it justice! Come see it today!

Temizuya

2011-07-14T08:34:00.000-07:00

According to the Wikipedia,

"A chōzuya or temizuya (手水舎?) is a Shinto water ablution pavilion for a ceremonial purification rite known as temizu.

Water-filled basins are used by worshipers for washing their left hands, right hands, mouth and finally the handle of the water ladle to purify themselves before approaching the main Shinto shrine or shaden (Japanese: 社殿). This symbolic purification is normal before worship and all manned shrines have this facility, as well as many Buddhist temples and some new religious houses of worship. The temizuya is usually an open area where clear water fills one or various stone basins. Wooden dippers are usually available to worshipers."

If you have visited Talon Faire you have seen Kuan Yin's temple at the top of one of the mountains. At the foot stands the traditional temizuya to welcome guests and prepare them to be in Her presence. I have had a number of requests for the purchase of this traditional basin and have now put out a boxed set. It includes a custom gesture to assist you in your ablutions as well as a delicate bamboo wind chime to add atmosphere to your space.

As always, when ever possible, what you buy at Talon Faire is fully Mod/Copy.

Thank you.

New Poses and Play Things!

2011-07-07T07:51:00.000-07:00

First for the romantic in all of us - Souls

A kiss, a caress, a mingling of spirit. You feel your loved one across a room- there is no mistake - your Souls have touched - show it...

The couple sits face to face and gently caress each others' faces, lost in their loving embrace.

But we are not through yet with this romantic interlude. Sometimes just quietly laying together is the sweetest commune of all.

Lay With Me

To lighten the mood here we have Fairy Flitting - She floats on a current of magic and dreams.

And what Fae would not just love this delicate, fresh leaf to perch on?

All animations available in Builder and Consumer Editions. Fairy Leaf is Copy/Mod. Find them all at Talon Faire's The Animation Station.

More new poses!!

2011-06-29T10:23:00.000-07:00

Wow!!! Have I been busy!!!

The Animation Station is looking pretty good so far. I have moved things around a bit to make shopping for your favorite poses a bit easier and streamlined~

Also, I have added several new poses so let me share those with you now:

First off, who doesn't enjoy the wistful breezes of a summer's day? Lazing by a lake, listening to the soft sounds of nature or maybe laying on your bed or a rug talking with a friend or just day dreaming?

Here is a versatile and relaxed animation, Lazy Day.

Next we have two meditative poses, first the static - Ohm
Find your inner peace~

And the gently flowing animation Greet The Sun

Try these out today at the Animation Station @ Talon Faire -

Working on a some sweet to share with your sweet one - those coming soon ~

Talon Faire is Branching Out!

2011-06-25T08:20:00.000-07:00

I have been fiddling with poses and animations a bit now and at the urgings and prodding of my dear friend Moon Satoshi I have decided to branch out official - so - without further ado, Talon Faire presents - The Animation Station!

First then we have two offerings~

Needful in every lady's boudoir, a Hair Brushing animation. She shakes her head a bit and runs one hand through it as the hair brush smooths her silken locks.

Next - Adored -
Feel the unspoken passion in this Couple Pose. His arm rest protectively across her shoulders and his hand caresses her back and hair. She rest reassured of her place in his world.

Both of these poses are available for Consumers (C/M no Trans) and for Builders (Full Perm).

And finally, a little fun splashy thing for you to play with - try on the side of a pool or lake. Available also for Consumers or Builders.

... For Japan Relief thru Virtual Helping Hands

http://www.virtualhelpinghands.org/sh/">Virtual Helping Hands

If you haven't heard about this terrific event going on to help the victims of the massive quakes and tsunamis in Japan, now is the time to get involved! Read that link above to the official Virtual Helping Hands site for all the pertinent info - then get your butt in gear and let's make this the most awesome success ever!

We need more folks involved in this - Right here from the States and also from the other side of the pond! And you Aussie peeps! We aren't forgetting you! Come help out - the world needs you!

It is for such a great cause and every one that helps makes a huge difference. I was hoping to ask all of you directly if you would like to get involved? You could set up a little vendor stand or participate in Role Play or just come enjoy the rides and make a donation or purchase some goody for your virtual life knowing all proceeds go directly to people that need YOUR help-

We need people that are perhaps happy to talk about it and tell their friends and make announcements and such- it could very well be that many in InWorldz haven't heard about this since not every one follows tweets or reads the forums. And folks in Europe may not even be aware of the Fair because as we all know Time Zones Suck!!

So please if you can help spread the word, it would be awesome- blog about it, tell people, come set a stand! Anything! Read that link so you see it is legit. Please share this with anyone you think may be interested in helping out. And by all means- come visit the fair- it really is awesome fun.

Alchemy is located here:

Please note, it says SecondLife, but this is an InWorldz event.

This Week's Releases

2011-06-05T13:21:00.001-07:00

Today we have some new bits of awesomeness to share...

On a pointless quest for medieval sort of furnishings that did not belong in a castle but more in the common folk sort of home I became inspired to make my own ~

Here then are the results ~

With this I am also releasing a Long Bow with a set of arrows and its quiver. These are purely decorative- we don' have physix yet - but come packed in two forms, one set is wearable- perfect for RP venues, the other is a great accent piece to hang on your walls - just as home in your castle or manor or tent!

And finally, just a little overhead shot of Talon Faire because I felt like it :)

More Changes and Addtions

2011-05-09T05:03:00.000-07:00

So.. the build continues in Avination. I went tree crazy and bought some more trees and flowers. I may be pushing my budget here..

More trees and a peacock.. the peacock was financial overkill - /makes note to self- either make your own damn peacocks or live with out!

Aerial view but I hate the "wave". It is a freebie import- may have to forgo the wave as that is just not up to snuff.

I added a railing to the teahouse in the back so I would have a place for a Bits & Bobs kiss I like. I relocated the bar and expanded it to fit a couple of dances. I am in the process of building an off sim waterfall too.

The bar's new locale - still need a bar keep pose - will make today I hope and some additional sitting.

My Teahouse!

2011-05-05T06:16:00.000-07:00

Animated in Avination needed a Teahouse!

The first tea house I built in SL took me 48 hours straight! It was my first experience with sleep deprivation :)

So - I have learned a thing or two about building since /me blushes - here is my progress on the one in Avination. It will be marketed in IW along with other things from this build.

My Current Project

2011-04-29T10:42:00.000-07:00

Building in InWorldz is such a pleasure! I enjoy the yummy primminess and can go to town with details and extremes....

Now to re-educate myself and rein myself in...

My dearest friend and sim partner in IW, Marcel Flatley, is opening a branch of Erotic Motions in Avination. Knowing my passion building he is having me build his sim there.

Since Animated Spirits in IW is OURS and apparently he likes to indulge me, I got to do all of the building however I wanted to - and I suppose the style really is my own. Animated in IW looks very story-book and pastel and earthy. Sort of Maxfield Parish meets Thomas Kinkade!

So Marcel tends to a more sleek, modern look as his store building reflects and I am trying to stretch myself and build more as I believe is his style. I am sure he will happily disabuse me of any misconception I may have!

Here then are some images of Animated Spirits/Avination so far.

Just getting started (only things added besides Marcel's shop a few willows from the kind folks at TGIB and one of my ubiquitous waterfalls):

Here I built a little sitting park space. The free standing fountain and benches are mine as is the tree somewhat hard to distinguish in the back ground and the glass tree in the foreground- sort of Art in Public Places type thing. Off to one side is the same bridge from above but now retextured to fit the more modern look:

Here is another view of glass tree- it has an updated texture now and though cannot "see" it here, it plays a lovely tinkling glass sound when you are up close!

Today I started to build him a little bar - inspired by Kohkoh Baroque's awesome tiki bar!

And finally, here is the Before bridge - I will shoot an After later this evening.

And yes- I finally lost the noob clothes! How can I be expected to build with out a ballgown!!!

Free Standing Fountain

2011-04-28T13:18:00.000-07:00

Elegant, modern and so soothing. The light tinkling sound of this fountain transports you to a quiet place. The cool lines and soft lights sooth you after a long day.

Completely Mod and as always Copy so it will fit into your space as easily as into your life.

Acquire it today @ Talon Faire! See YOU There!

2011-04-11T04:57:00.000-07:00

New at Talon Faire~

A little oasis of calm to take refuge in when the world storms at you ~

With three cuddles (two custom), a little bird included and some plant life. Take this lovely piece of nature home and relax - home sweet home...

2010-12-30T08:34:00.000-08:00

Long Time No See!!

2010-11-26T10:44:00.001-08:00

OMG! Fans of TF!! Where have I been???

I don't want you to think I have given up creating- Oh no far from it! It is because of creativity that I have been so lost recently. I have new wings to fly and have been doing so many wonderful things (even if I do say so myself *wink*!).

Among all the newness to share there is Fashion, Architecture and even Animation!

A bit of Moorish allure:

A sensuous sari:

Some artful poses celebrating love:

And a happy Bubble Ride!

All of these things are available right now - in Inworldz! www.inworldz.com

As time permits, I will bring something to SL but seeing LL's latest blunder- the Teens on SL Main Grid, my home is firmly in IW. Hope you, my fair readers, will consider at least visiting the grid at some point. Best alternative to SL I have seen in my travels.

I have been remiss..

2010-06-18T10:08:00.000-07:00

Hello Fans of Talon Faire! Long time no waving! You know how it is when you are setting roots in new places. Lately I have been rather consumed with InWorldz to be honest. Talon Faire has opened two new shops there and slowly we are getting set up. If you haven't visited InWorldz, do so. It's a beautiful new place that is growing daily. There has been a huge influx of Residents and even some big name Designers from SL you may recognize. The url for IW is (http://www.inworldz.com/).

Today though I bring you a twisted little piece of exotica for your SecondLife or InWorldz experience as it is available in both.

Talon Faire takes a walk on the wild side with this new release - Chained Heat - Horns From Talon Faire!

What the well dressed deamoness is wearing this season...
Over one hundred prims in this sculpted set of horns with touch on and off flames. Get your wicked little tail on in here!

Much Newness To Share!

2010-05-13T12:42:00.000-07:00

Talon Faire keeps growing! We have had several new releases this past month. Apologies for not updating you sooner, faithful Fans! RL has a way of sneaking in no matter how hard we slam the door.

Meantime though I do have news to share. Talon Faire has an additional home! If you have not heard of InWorldz yet (http://www.inworldz.com/) you will! It is a growing new Virtual World with all the heady possibility of SecondLife.

LInden Lab Closes SL Official Forums - The Residents DO NOT Want That!

2010-02-04T16:27:00.000-08:00

One Last Appeal...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Letter to the Lindens

Some of you may have read and laughed at Trout Recreant’s hilarious “Letters From the Lindens”, lampooning our Service Provider’s policies and the haphazard ways in which (it seems) they make decisions.

There have been a lot of those over the past year. The Homestead bait and switch, the introduction of themed, Linden-built mainland areas, the ghettoization of Adult Content, “Linden Homes”, the flirtation with FaceBook and Twitter, the purchase of a FaceBook clone, the abolition of the Mentors, and the abolition of the XStreetSL and the official SL Forums.

There’s more on the horizon. The imposition of script limits. A dumbed-down Viewer 2.0. Favored status for some, but not all, content creators.

And of course, some real problems remain unaddressed. Lag. Inventory loss. Failed teleports. Maximum stable concurrency. Content theft and its mirror twin, false accusation of content theft.

With all of that, I thought it was about time that the Residents wrote a letter TO the Lindens. It’s arrogant of me, I know, to place myself in the position of speaking for “the Residents”. We are a diverse group with a wide range of opinions. Still, I think that a great many residents will agree with what I’ve written here.

Dear Linden Lab,

We love Second Life, the virtual world whose infrastructure you created and manage. Although it has many flaws, it’s far and away the best virtual world platform in existence. We want to see it flourish and grow, just as you do. Because of that, we are passionate in our opposition to a number of changes the Lab has made, and is apparently planning to make. We are passionate because we, as the people who are in SL every day, see the damage that they have caused, and greatly fear what damage the new changes will cause.

We are also passionate in our desire for improvements. We see the problems with SL. We are frustrated by them every day. So it angers us to see you ignoring these real problems, and us, in a quixotic quest for “millions of new potential Residents.”

Let’s think about that one for a moment. At present, the grid can only support a maximum concurrency of between 70,000 – 80,000. Somewhere in there, things begin to break and either some functions (transactions, teleports, rezzing) become unstable, or the grid itself goes down. Until that problem is solved, it makes no sense to waste time with policy changes that might (you hope) bring in huge numbers of new users.

SL is a communications platform. As such, it shares some characteristics with MMORPGs, and some with social networking sites like FaceBook. These other platforms and virtual worlds like SL compete for the on line time of a large number of people. But, although they are similar, they are NOT the same, and they have distinctly different strengths and appeal to different segments of that potential audience.

MMORPGs are graphically rich. They have (and users need and demand) high frame rates. They appeal to those who want to play a game, to compete within a fixed and relatively limited rule framework. SL, in contrast, is largely user-created. And it is open-ended, with a very loose framework that lets users pursue the activities they choose. While the graphics performance of a video game would be wonderful to have, SL trades off some of that performance potential in order to gain its distinct advantages.

Social networking sites are all about facilitating connections between people. As such, they are a tool to enhance a user’s life and expand their circle of friends. Such sites are used by people to find potential friends, business associates, lovers, or mates. They are outward-oriented, and closely linked to the real world lives and identities of their subscribers. SL, on the other hand, features anonymity. While users can use it for social networking, and reveal personal information to either those they choose, or to everyone, many Residents use SL as an escape from Real Life. Their SL existence is quite meaningful and real to them, but it is largely separate from, and carried on parallel to, their Real Life.

As users of modern internet connectivity platforms in general, we see the advantages of all three of these types of platforms. MMORPGs are good for entertainment and escape. Social networking sites are good for making connections. However, it is only a true virtual world like Second Life that is usable for both purposes. There are necessary and unavoidable tradeoffs involved in creating such a multipurpose platform.

Because of that, we see it as a grave mistake for SL to try too hard to become either an MMORPG or a social networking tool. For example, in acquiring Avatars United, LL may be opening a door through which many residents will exit the grid in favor of a tool that better suits their main purpose. If LL were to go in another direction, and take control of content creation in order to dramatically improve performance, residents who are interested in creating, or running a business, will depart.

You must pursue the middle ground that you have already staked out. No single application can be everything to everyone, and it is a mistake to squander resources in trying.

What you have is an entertainment platform with (potentially) broad appeal. Instead of trying to force SL into a FaceBook mold, or turn it into WoW, make it the best of its kind.

SL has another unique feature: its economy. This is perhaps SL’s greatest selling point…that people can come here, and leave (if they are skillful and lucky) with more money than they came in with. But this economy is fragile. There are a limited number of products that are possible. By eliminating gambling, you cut off a whole segment of that economy (the fact that it was a legal necessity is irrelevant. It still harmed the economy). By restricting adult content, you are slowly strangling another, larger segment. There are really only three basic commodities in SL: virtual land, content creation, and entertainment.

Linden Lab has ultimate control over all of these. Each policy change or shift you make has an effect on the thousands of merchants who use SL. When considering policy changes, you must do a better job of discussing them in advance with a wide range of Residents than you have so far. We would suggest that you ask yourselves (and us) two questions of any new proposal: “Who will this benefit, and how much?” and “Who will this harm, and how much?” And the “who” that benefits should not be Linden Lab! Not directly.

Any time LL raises fees, or cuts services, it might seem that it’s good for your bottom line. But in the end, if it hurts the SL economy, it hurts LL. If we make money, so do you. If we lose money, or leave the platform, you lose too. Any time LL competes directly with Residents within the SL economy, you ultimately wind up shrinking the economy. Nautilus, Bay City, and Linden Homes are examples of this. Instead of competing with your SL merchants and land barons, you should be developing tools to help them, starting with a better and more robust permissions system and a better process for detecting, reporting, investigating, and resolving content theft.

Here is a short list of what we, the Residents, would like to see you concentrating on in the coming year.

1. Viewer improvements. The enormous popularity of Emerald clearly demonstrates the kind of features your Residents want…and it’s not a dumbed-down viewer, it’s one with more functionality.

2. Lag reduction. Upgrade your servers. Streamline the code. Deal with issues like the notorious sim freeze when Mono scripts arrive via incoming avatars. If you must impose script limits, target the worst offenders…like resizer scripts in every prim of an avatar’s hair or jewelry.

3. Improved content protection. More vigilance in catching and punishing content theft. Improved permissions system, especially for things like textures and scripts that are often incorporated in another product and re-sold.

4. Avatar improvements. We want a better avatar mesh. Better facial expressions. More versatile body morphing. True transparency in the mesh. More flexibility in clothing layers. And one you can do right now, with a simple XML file mod…duplicate Emerald’s secondary attachment points.

5. Improved resident to resident and resident – LL communications. Closing the XStreet forums and the SL VBulletin forums was a move in the wrong direction. The new blogs are not forums, and their format does not support the development of a dedicated forum community. Such communities are an invaluable resource and need to be nurtured and encouraged. You need a better way to collect Resident suggestions and feedback. I would suggest something like the old forum polls, but with the polls coming from you, LL. Office hours don’t allow a large enough cross section of Residents, and feedback via forum or blog threads is too cumbersome to wade through. And, when you talk to us, please learn how to speak in plain , unambiguous English. Corporate weasel-wording does not promote user confidence or trust. Case in point: Creating a new position of “Conversations Manager” immediately prior to eliminating the primary means of carrying on conversations.

6. Improved in world communication tools. In many cases, this means adding the ability to turn OFF communications when desired. Being able to temporarily disable group chat and notices. Improving “Busy” mode to allow content creators some peace and quiet. Add the ability to send a notecard to a group of residents by Shift+click selection in the Friends list or the Calling Card folder. Add the ability to open a conference IM by clicking multiple avatars. Add features like basic text formatting to Notecards. Make them directly exportable into, say, WordPad. Here’s a business-related improvement for you: add support for PowerPoint files.

7. Improved New User Experience. Take back the Infohubs! Develop and implement more community gateways of the caliber of Caledon Oxbridge, or Virtual Ability. Sites with real helpers present, 24/7. Sites that feature in world moderators, with eject/ban powers. Second Life is not for everyone. As a Mentor, I met many people who were really looking for an MMORPG, or a FaceBook. I knew they would not stay long. But I met countless others willing to give this virtual world thing a try. If you can show that audience what SL is all about, what it can be for them, you will see the user base grow steadily.

We need these things. SL needs these things. We need them a lot more than we need a FaceBook tie-in or a free cottage. Your bottom line will thank you.

Sincerely,
Lindal Kidd

The magazine is available at various locations around SecondLife and of course at Talon Faire. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff of Affinity for showing Talon Faire in such a glowing light. The models were beautiful, the photography excellent and the interview very fun to do.

Eyelashes! Subtle Touch For Men

2009-12-06T11:21:00.001-08:00

Have you noticed how many male skins do not have eyelashes?

Talon Faire introduces Eyelashes! for men. This was a huge challenge because they had to be subtle and add to the overall look without stealing the focus from the wearer. In the case of male models, they must not distract from the garments he is modeling. But whether a model or not, all men will benefit from this exciting accessory -

We think we have achieved this with our first offer for men, Subtle Touch.

Turn on the sound and let the strumming of gentle flamenco guitars move you as you wander about and explore. Tattoos and Fantasy Dress, Ball Gowns and Casual Wear greet you at the entrance. Further in you will find our Jewelry Department with some exotic offerings to sparkle and dazzle. The Eyelash! Bar occupies all the back of the store and continues to grow. There you will find a vast assortment of eyelashes from the subtle to the sublime. Some “eye-catching” eyes are featured there also.

Adjacent to the Gowns, The Nail Bar has just been added and will soon be growing by leaps and bounds – right now three new releases await you:

Butterfly Dreams

Beautiful Pastel Colors, gentle butterflies lightly dancing on each finger... wave and you can almost feel them flutter. Sweet taste of Spring to come.

White Flowers

Delicate scroll work white flowers grace each delicate tip. Sweet pastel colors to subtly accentuate your own beauty and coordinate with most outfits.

Goth Dreams

Dark visions... Dreams ripped asunder - Feed the dark with this themed set of prim nails. Features a Death's Head stylized skull, Pentagram, Chalice, Gargoyle and Pure Black.

Light Waves

Delicate waves of light fan out from these elegant nails. In various colors to complement and coordinate with your favorite outfits- subtle yet notable- Light Waves.

The new building does have an upstairs that will be dedicated to Home Decor- Right now you can find fine art, occasional furnishings and outdoor garden features - pick up some gargoyles or fairies for your garden or a comforting fireplace or divan to lounge on.

Talon Faire continues to grow and strive to be you one-stop shopping destination for YOUR SecondLife (TM).

Changes!

2009-10-20T13:31:00.001-07:00

I am sooo excited!

Talon Faire is changing and oh yes! For the better! We have a gorgeous new store so shopping is easier, more relaxed and there is so much room for all the new goodies I have cooked up for you. We are still covered in pixel-dust so do bear with - when it's all done, you are going to love it!

Come by and take a look at the changes so far- and ...

... here is a little something to whet your appetites....

First look at Talon Faire's new line of scripted prim nails! (So new only available in-store right now!)

These little beauties will come in a 'collection' - so no more, "Oh have to change my nails to match my outfit!"

Just wear your HUD, pick out your color, detach your HUD and you are good to go! Eight colors per collection and six nail sizes so it will be easy to fit. Sizes 0 to 25 for your convenience. Also included, skin match glove in case your original non-prim nails show through and easy instructions on how to match your skin tone.

First, for a casual flair, Little White Flowers

And - since it is the season for a Hauntingly good time... a little something for your dark side.

See YOU there~ @ Talon Faire!

2009-08-23T12:15:00.000-07:00

Oh those beautiful eyes... Smoldering, sexy, sensual... yes - it's YOU! In this NEWEST release from Talon Faire.

From the Wikipedia: "Bokeh (derived from Japanese, a noun boke 暈け, meaning "blur" or "haze") is a photographic term referring to the æsthetic quality of the out-of-focus areas of an image produced by a camera lens using a shallow depth of field.[1] Essentially, bokeh is an aesthetic and qualitative measure of light distortion in the out-of-focus areas of an image, and is primarily caused by lens aberrations and aperture shape."

Here the Bokeh technique is applied to give the illusion of a soft focus sparkle around your beautiful eyes. Be stunning - be you - be there- Talon Faire!

Jewelry for your eyes, miniature paintings. Wearable art!
Fully Mod Copy so you can adjust them to fit you perfectly!
