Moulin Rouge - Hindu Rehearsal

Although this is our first published outfit here, it's the 5th addition to our Moulin Rouge range. It features Satine (Nicole Kidman) in an exotic Hindu Rehearsal outfit, with removeable ornate jacket. Unfortunately, Theo found her head dress way too complicated (if you look closely at the background image or just watch the movie you'll see why), so she improvised and created her own. I think it's a very nice alternative and can be worn with/without the outfit.

It's a 9 piece outfit that also inludes a pair of high heel black sculptie shoes and as is standard with all our outfits (where applicable/appropriate), includes a Skirt Sitter script to maintain the dignity of your persona while you sit. The script is of course configureable to allow you to save a variety of different positions and includes fitting instructions.

For those who are not familar with what we do, we create clothing ranges based on Historic movies/periods in time. the Moulin Rouge is our latest offering (we've also done the Cabaret with Lisa Minneli and a Titanic clothing range). Curious? Just take a look at our main store at:

We also have Gift Vendors at our main store, for those wanting to surprise your loved ones.

Bringing you a vintage male suit as our next offering, watch this space!

Cartunno Couture: New Beginnings

OK, Cartunno Couture, a clothing shop extraordianaire from Second Life (A Virtual Reality Simulator, geesh where have all you people been!) is finally delving into the ambiguous world of blogging. Ambiguous because it's such a multi-faceted medium, it's like giving birth and wondering what sort of baby you're going to create. Still, we're pretty excited about it. It's going to initially be a forum for announcing new products, but who knows what sort of creation it will evolve into. There are so many blogging sites already dedicated to Second Life activities that we don’t necessarily want to recreate the wheel here. However, being open-minded, it’s just possible that it may evolve into a beautiful creation (well, if you can’t make your dreams come true in Second Life where can you?). I’m open to suggestions!

Those of you who don't know who we are (and I guess that's the majority of you), our main products are pre-40's clothing. Much of it is pretty unique; we’re trying to bring people something different! We took a stab at this niche market because the main markets are so saturated with the same type of clothing (*yawns*). We have a love for vintage fashion that transcends from First Life (note the distinction). We also have an eclectic range of Asian, Indian and Oriental clothing (Theo’s 2nd love), and a few tasty casuals.

Just some brief info about us; Theodote Carthage is the designer of all this wonderful clothing and even if I say so myself, she's pretty good. Actually, she does tend to get compliments so if you love what she does, drop her an in-world Instant Message some time, she loves the praise! (That’s ego for you, needs constant feeding or it dies). She hails from the U.S., they sure know how to make them there!

Myself, I'm the other half of this partnership and responsible for a multitude of sins (that is, if you like to buy into that concept). I prefer to call them as 'creative experiences', a metaphysical euphuism with a difference! Oh, I hail from the UK, so we're both doing our bit for transatlantic relationships (without the murky politics and shady dealings).

Anyway, now with the gory details over, (well, you were never going to get the real dirt on us were you), we leave you with a sense of anticipation (or it could just be apathy, depending on your disposition to inane ramblings), and we hope that you'll check back from time-to-time to view our products (We’re adding new ranges all the time). Who knows, we may even post the odd tasty tidbit, depending on our inclination. *smile*

Thanks for your time, we’ll see you here again (even if we have to come and drag you kicking and screaming which we’re quite prepared to do if our readership remains in single figures). *Smile*
