Attachments Help

Hey Fanatics, I wanted to share a little tidbid of information for those that do not watch the Second Life® blog all too often.

Now I know adjusting attachments (especially jewelry) has been a problem with some of my models starting out, and I could only assume that some of you might feel the same frustrations. A recent collection of video quick tips by Torley Linden® showed how to showed how to work around our attachment grievances.

I hope this will be useful to you:

Introducing... Encolisé Collars and Bondage Equipment

So a few of you already know that I've been working the last few months on a project, creating, scripting, troubleshooting, testing, working with system compatibilities, troubleshooting, adjusting, more troubleshooting...

We're extremely proud to finally announce, that this work is now complete. Encolisé, the most beautifully realistic and feature-rich collars and bondage equipment is now available in all NTD's stores and online!

Headlining the slogan "Encolisé - Love in Bondage", our line of collars will feature full prim construction and original metal and gem textures to achieve the most realistic looking detail. From simple and stylishly functional, to elegantly jeweled and thoughtfully charmed collars, the Encolisé line of collars have been designed with two concepts in mind: To express the love and beauty in slavery, and to provide functionality for realistic power exchange.

Scripted for ease of use and to enhance the quality of your Gorean and BDSM lifestyle, each Encolisé collar comes expandable with a comprehensive list of standard features, or fully loaded with all plugins preinstalled.

Four plugins are available on release: Leash plugin (Lockmeister and Lockguard compatible), HUD, tracking plugin, and arousal plugin (Xcite! and Sensations compatible).

Fully customizable to fit your unique lifestyle needs. Each Encolisé collar is a wearable token of art that will characterise your journey of love in bondage!

NTD Newsletter, Summer '08

Well, we're rolling into Summer '08, and to tell everybody the truth, I can barely remember the last time I sat down to write a newsletter like this one. I believe it was about 3 months or so ago, just around the turn of the new year, and things were a little bit uncertain and very much undergoing change.

Thanks to some intuitive preplanning, and some good grace from friends and respectable individuals, we were able to pick up after a bit of incongruity and move ahead with what we had, to continue and create better products, and to build upon our store to make it better than before.


Over the last quarter, we've doubled our selection of products: Bringing out new and exciting styles in women's jewelry and birthstone jewelry, featuring new textures and sculpted prims, a brand new selection of fur rugs and cuddle rugs, and the announcement of the new Bravalia line of Gorean musical instruments headlined these past few months of our store's banner.


We've also had much progress in making our products better and more readily available to our customers! Just within the last few months, we've grown from barely three stores last quarter to nine stores today (seven market stalls and two superstores). We've established new partnerships and product compatibilties with widely used systems like Xcite!, Sensations, Lockmeister and LockGuard, we've created a new blog and added to our existing update group, and we've made new progress in store design, and in our online stores to help serve you better.

We've even had some time to put towards helping local Gorean and Earth venues by participating in fashion shows, sponsoring treasure hunts, games, and promoting our affiliated cities with sales and promotions.

Now, I know we've promised a lot of things in the beginning of last quarter, some of which I haven't quite gotten around to. But rest assured that they're not forgotten. I've put in a lot of time over the last few weeks to work on a few things, and over the summer you will see some great product announcements on the horizon.

So keep your eyes peeled dearest fanatics, because there will not be time to miss what's to come.

Signed,
Nurhaci Thorne
