Another Letter...

Another non-fashion related post! Skip it, if you don't feel like reading! Sorry for disturbing!


Here we are... with the end of the year approaching fast, and this time my letter (as promised here) is not going to be a "thank you for being part of my life letter", 'cuz I think I've thank you all during Christmas Season (if I did not thank you, then please IM me saying "what about me?"). Today it's about wishes and hopes! The hope I carry with me for the new year, and the hope I want you to carry too!

For this new year I wish you all health, love, and hapiness! I wish you strenght and courage to seek and fight for all your dreams! Obviously, I wish the same for me!

Now, taking the risk of sound greedy, I hope much more than that.

First of all, I hope people to understand what Second Life is. After reading this article from Prad Prathivi, I recognize I will stop trying to explain, and just share the link, 'cuz it's very well explained! It is obvious for me that some of my friends and family don't understand what do I do in Second Life (even my boyfriend who knows it well, disagree from Prad), and I believe they even make comments about it. Well, stop it! Read it, try it, learn it and then you can talk about it!

Then, I want to realize some dreams in my life! I have a lot of personal goals to achieve during this year (I mean a LOT), and though they may seem too ambitious, I want to have strenght enough to fight for them! One of my ambitious is to take *AnnaH* for a new level - but you'll hear more about it soon! If you have dreams and hopes, then stand up and fight for it! 2009 may be your year! I know I want it to be my, and I'll certainly will fight for it!

My last hope for the new year is about love and friendship! I have no doubt that if it wasn't for friends, life would be meaningless, so my hope is to keep everyone of you near me. Plus, I want to make new friends! I mean true friends, not just being on each others list!

True friends care about you; They can listen to you in good and bad times; They help you succeed or just give you their shoulder; They have to be capable of saying things you don't want to hear, and when they do, you will probably agree with them; They can make you cry or they can cry with you! They can make you laugh, laugh with you, or laugh at you! They can just be there, and you know you can count on them.

My hope is to keep you all in my life!


Wishes of a Happy 2009, when all your dreams come true!

Blogger Challenge: What’s in Your Bag?

Iris and Tenshi from Shopping Cart Disco have challenged everyone to share the contents of their bags! So here you have mine :)




So, what can you find in my bag:

  • my big black bag;
  • a black scarf that goes with almost everything;
  • two cell phones;
  • a purse, which is bigger than it sould be - the big challenged would be empty my purse;
  • two pens and a pencil;
  • two packs of tissues;
  • sunglasses, 'cuz I never go out with them;
  • glasses, 'cuz I *should* wear them always;
  • make up: lip stick, lip gloss, eye mask, and multi colour eye shadow;
  • and a small bag with my camera in it.

It's not that bad ;)

Can't stay for much longer, so I'l just show you a pick I took (sorry for not being the best one) and I'll run to open the door...

Last Christmas Gifts?

It's christmas time and I bet you'r all running for the last presents and last minute shopping, as I am! So if you're running for the last Christmas gifts, here are the solutions you can find at *AnnaH*!




So if you want to offer something from *AnnaH* to a friend or a lover, you can get him/her a store card! It's the easy way!

But if you want the person to receive "that" particular item, you have some other options! First you can buy them through XstreetSL.com or Onrez.com, and the present will automaticly be send to the person! Then, you also have the traditional way: pay me the ammount of the item you want (check the store at George 5 for prices), send me a notecard, with the name of the person, your name and the name of the item and a copy of your transation history showing you've paid for the item, and I can send it to the person you want to send it, with your name on it and in a nice package ;)


Luv,
Ann

A Christmas Letter

This is a long post, and I am sorry for that, but I don't know how to do cuts, and unfortunatly I don't have much time to go searching now! Don't get upset, and if you don't feel like reading, just skip it! Sorry :(




I am feeling a bit sentimental today... so today I want to say something special for all of you... I am totally aware that I should say this every day of the year, but then maybe it's the christmas spirit and the fast approach of the end of the year that makes me think....


I want to say I am truly blessed for having a great real life, awesome parents, coolest brother, protective grandparents, unbelieveble amazing boyfriend and best friends I could ever wish! I thank all of them for making my real life better each day!

But now I have also a second life! A great one! And I am also blessed for all the people I've met during this 18 months! Some of you have become important part of not only my second life, but also my real life, and there's not a day that I don't think of you, as I do for real friends! I care for you and I do my best to be a good friend, and I am sorry if I have ever disappointed (and I know I did, for some).

I do not want to forget anyone, but I am sure you all know who you are! I just want to mention some of you, 'cuz I think I may have failed with you!

... Since my first day on SL that I have this big best super protective but very fun friend called Azazello Zeluco! I luv ya and I am sorry I am not the best friend/company for parties 'cuz I am too busy working...

... And then I also met Milu Laval in my store and after that day we have been confidents from each other, co-workers, best friends... You're a very sweet person, and probably you don't know but you are way too strong than I am! I am sorry for not being the best support you can have!

... Before my first show ever, I've met Gillian Waldman! She was my beta tester and the most honest person! So cute and sweet, she fast become a good friend! I have so much respect for her, that I used to be shy when I wanted to approach her just to say hi! I am sorry you'r not around SL anymore (or I can't seem to see you).I hope you're ok!

... In the show, I've met Myllie Writer! My best friend! We were also co-workers, and we used to have same ideas and think the same things! Those were very good times! I know you're feeling kinda "weird" in SL now, but I truly hope you can find your way again, 'cuz I miss you!

... Through Myllie, I've met Kamian Trescothick, and he build me one of my stores, but much more than that, we have become good friends and he is the most amazing guy I've met in SL. It's a pitty he doesn't like extrovert girls like me LOL I luv ya, and thought the time we spend now it's not the same we used to, you'll always be in heart, my friend!

... Because of plurk, I've met one of the best persons in all SL, no matter what anyone says about her, I will always be grateful to her! She is an amazing listener and an awesome friend! I like to say I need to listen more to her wise words! Luth Brodie is THE most amazing person and I love her :)

... During my life of designer, I've had the chance to met some bloggers and other designers! You are too many, and I truly respect each one of us! But I've to talk about three girls I've met, in different times in my life, but they are very good friends, each one of them in her own way! Ana Lutetia, thank you for supporting me since my first design, for the times you offered your sholder and for dragging me to places like plurk :) Shir Dryke, thanks for trusting me, 'cuz that shows a lot of you, and also thank you for letting me be a part of your life! We both know how much I like you :) and last but not least Efemera Bisiani, a true friend that I know I can trust and most important I know she is totally honest, and even if she will find it hard, she will always find a way of being honest and true with me, and for that I respect her and love her :)

... There's another person I want to thank! He was an important part of my life, and though he is not anymore, there were (few) good moments we shared! Maybe I wouldn't do it the same way today (oh god, who am I fooling?? I wouldn't for sure), but it showed me a lot about me and about Second Life relationships! He showed me things I though that only fools would do or think! So, Romeu, thank you for all the good moments, the laugh, the dances, the kisses, the messages, the conversations... and I am sorry! I know and I admit that I have some guilt in what happened! I hope we can be friends again, some day!


There's many more people I would like to say something, but this post is already too long! If you have not read your name on this list, I hope you know who you are! I'll try to thank you each one of you, who have made my SLife better and happier! Thank you all! Maybe in New Year's Eve I'll write more...

Blogger/Plurker Challenge!

Kristi Maurer has started this challenge, and as soon as I see it I found it really cool and I was sure I was going to try it... The real challenge was making my shape, 'cuz I've shared lots of real pictures with sl friends! I discover now that I truly *suck* at doing shapes, so my avatar may not look exactly like me, but I can assure you I've tried! It was not that hard to make the body, but the face was really really hard! As AnaLu said in her post, it's very difficult for us who doesn't speak english as main language, to understand some of the sliders...






So, the real me is a short and curvy girl - sorry Kristi, but I use that word too, to describe myself lol. I am a very casual person, as you can see in the pictures, though I like to use fashion clothes and follow the trends... Like the real me, Ann likes to keep it casual, so the clothes and shoes were already in my inventory, and so was the hair, 'cuz I am brunette in both lives! What I use a lot in RL are sunglasses, and so I do it in SL. What I've discovered after this challenge, is that I need to take more (real) pictures without sunglasses, 'cuz it was a hard to find a good one without them!!! What it's missing in my sl and that I use in rl is my braces! And I absolutly love it...

Luv,
Ann

New releases... finally!

First of all I need to remind you all about the contest to win a L$3000 *AnnaH* store card! See the rules here!
Now available at *AnnaH* mainstore are two new outfits, both named after two good friends of mine, Ana Lutetia and Myllie Writer.

AnaLu is a casual style, with short capris and wool sweatter... There are two different fatpacks of AnaLu's outfit - one with black shorts and belts and another one with brown shorts and belt. There are 6 different colours for the sweatters, so everyone can have their favourite colour :) Oh btw, Ana Lutetia has model this outfit for me! She looks so cute :)






Myllie is a formalbut very simple long dress. What I like the most in this dress, it that you can actually wear the top of the dress with black pants and it will go so cool... The top has a sculpted cowl, that looks awesome!




For the credits of pictures, you'll have to ask Ana Lutetia what she is wearing... About Myllie's outfit, skin is from *Blowpop*, hair from ETD and Truth, and that's all!

This new outfits are only available at my mainstore in Sedna, and at shop.onrez! I'll try to put them in all the other locations later :)

Friends and Lovers: New @ *AnnaH*

From now on, and during the next month, my time in SL will be almost non-existent, because I am working a little more than usual in my real life! Before "leaving" you alone for such a long time, I prepare 2 new poseballs for you! They are for standing pictures with friends and lovers!

First of all, little secrets... You know, when you have to say something to your best friend or to your lover, that only her/him can ear? That's it! I am telling Kathleen that ... *shhh it's a secret*


There are two different versions of this poseball available in the store. One is to use with two girls, and the other one can be use with a girl and a guy, as you can see below, me and Emanuelle sharing our little dirty secrets *smiles* But poseballs are adjustable in both cases, so you probaly will be able to modify them according to your needs.


You know that almost all guys, non-gays, dream of something like a menage! Two girls and a guy - yes, the dream of a lot of mens, and probably womens too. My friend Kamian did it! The other day, while photoshooting this ad *only* (you perverts, what are you thinking?) This poseball is for all the promiscuous boys out there, and it looks great with clothes too :p What I am thinking now, is to redo this poses in a way that we *girls* can use them, in a pijama party or something... that's my next project ;)



I hope you like them! It was really fun to pose with my friends for this ones! Specially the promiscuous boy! As usual, poseballs are available at Sedna, for L$150 each. Unfortunatly the other stores are running out of prims, so I won't be able to put them there! I will try to solve this, as soon as my crazy month overs! Poseballs will be also available at shop.onrez and SL Exchange too!


Don't forget that also this week I've released other two poseballs called sisters and love nest! They are totally cute too, so go try them! Hurry!


Luv,
Ann
