20 thousand lightyears from home.

Lately 13 has still been going through some shifts, it's taken a lot longer than expected to try and set the shop up to prevent having to find more and more room every few months to accommodate the massive inventory, but I think I've come close to perfecting it.

BustCon - for those of you that don't know what it is..it's kind of like that silly fashion help group that's around, but this one is directed for girls of bigger figures and way more polite and helpful.
Also, Coming next spring! BustCon 2011! the fashion expo for BOOBS! \o/
So if your a creator of anything that has to do with boobs, One of the organizers WILL be hunting you down eventually ;) If you wish to join the group you can just find my profile, it's free! and if your a creator just IM Jessika or I and we will upgrade you.

Other than that, there's an abundance of new things coming to 13, so keep your eye's out. Halloween is fast approaching and I got some cute stuff coming out for those of you that wear eCorp! or Icons. :)

Peace and Luv

Complications ~ Annoyances ~ Virtual Store on the Grid.

Right now I'm not around a lot, which is actually really obvious to most people. I've been off playing this new real life inspired game called First Life and man does it suck :P But for all you R.G.I.R.L's out there Thirteen will be going viral IRL soon enough!
The same too small to be considered real (okay kinda) the corsets, outfit designs and skirts. We will see how that turns out - for sure. ;)

I can't promise when I will be back permanently..right now it's not looking too great, but I am still working on clothing for y'all, so when I do get back there will be stuff to drool over! =D corsets, tops, jackets, you name it =)

For now my lovely, beautiful shop manager Trinity will be taking your questions, she cannot however answer issues about applicators and missing items, that's not in her job description, sorry babies ;)

For now I am sure that you will all survive without me, ILY all and thanks for stickin to the cause (zombies rule!)
~Annie


PS- R.G.I.R.L = Real Girl in Real Life ...in case any of you didn't already know that ;)

Thirteen gets a facelift.

no, i'm not talking botox or silicone, although that might be an option!
Thirteen has begun it's journey back to the darker side, a more sophisticated clean look.


We were on the light side of the sun for a while, but I kept getting too many headaches, so the we're going to retreat to the shade again.

We're also getting a new building, I'm in the process of building it right now and so far it's got 1 and a half floors (after 7 hours of work) and It's looking really good - usually I throw out builds halfway through out of frustration, but I haven't so far!

I'm working on this seasons skins still, and I'm also working on more corsets and more latex. So with any luck we will have plenty of darker stuff in the nearest of futures to go along with Thirteen's new look.

13's Style Guide ~ The Offical Word.

Annie likes to use a certian type of stores. She doesn't settle for the cheap stuff that's only going to get her flat textures and limited details.

For Hair, My choice is usually kept, but not limited to Kin, Deviant Kitties, Magika, Truth and Vixen.

Skins are harder and some creators don't have all the tones in proper tints.. some pale colors can get too yellow, dark tans, or brown skins can get too orange.. as a creator I know exactly how hard that is to by-pass but i've seemed to manage it every time. For skins I would pick
Belleza - they have beautiful faces though the last time I looked (and this was a year ago) the body detail was minimal.
May Skins - These are adorable japanese anime skins, high detailed bodies but unless you want your avatar to look dangerously cute, don't even bother ;)
Deviant Kitties - These wouldn't be my normal pick for skins, but they are well worth what you pay for and always look very creative.
Nomine - These have always been the best skins on the grid - hands down - Though sometimes they are hard to make work with certian shapes, but.. that's why creators make DEMO products, use them.
Curio - Don't buy the old ones their horrible, buy the new ones - great detail, beautiful faces they have a shiny quality but not to the point where you looked like you had been bathing in olive oil like some of those wet skins or clothing layers.

Clothing! woot, the good part hum?
This is probably the other upmost crutical part of our vendor pix - of course unless we're selling a full outfit ~.^
Shit Luck.. Luck Inc - hands down the store I visit most on Second Life, I love her clothing, she's got a unique eye for grunge and sexy and is able to put both into one steaming hot outfit and top and keep me coming back for more. (I get all my jeans here)
Blow Up - This is where i get all those adorable super short tartan skirts you see. These skirts are featured on the Button up shirts vendor, the Ginger vendor, and the Syball sweater vendor.
KSI - (KS Industries) This is where i get all my baggy pants Looove them! (Wearing the black camo style baggies in the Blue/red fight club tee vendor)

Now these I don't/haven't used invendor ads yet, but a little extra for anyone needing ideas..
POC - In terms of liquid latex this is usually my very first choice, but they are limited sadly, they make good catsuits though.
Impwerks - Also my favorite fetish/catsuit store, they also make so much more! the owner is very talented if I do say so myself.
Strapped Submissive - Cute store, though the outfits are hard to match for the most part - my favorite barely there-how can you call that an outfit comes from there. ;)
NOD - Looove their outfits.. mostly skimpy though, but great texturing


Shoes!
HOC Industries (House of Curios) - Best there is.. their cheap and sculpted, love the shop!
Sinistyle - I send everybody here, literally. anyone who is looking for great goth boots or grunge boots should invest in a pair of "Deception" or something similar
N-Core - Awesome pumps/heels whatever you wanna call them. expansive and hard to match the sculpted foot if you don't have a million zens of patience, but worth it if you can.
AVZ - they make great hair and skins too if you want cybergoth/cyberpunk drow looks :P But the big huge clunky cybergoth boots I wear (and Euthanasia wears) are here. they aren't cheap at all, but worth it if you want to spend the cash.
Spider Products - LOOOOVE their thigh high boots to DEATH! The best ones i've seen on the grid no question about it.


If you're looking for Goth type outfits - RFyre, FallnAngel Designs, Silent Sparrow, Black Opal, Huksy GFX, and Goth1c0 are all great shops.. some cheap, some are more expensive.
I also love Cipher, Wrong, Boom, Nyte N' Day, and Decadent Designs. I also like Apple May Designs, but rarely ever wear them.
For silks and formal wear Solange and Analise are my top choices.
Deviance has the best costumes evar.
Trilobitewear is also really good for latex costumes and pony tack.

Creation-Termination-The Divine Art

So, Most of you already know that [Thirteen] made the big change when we changed the name, and changed the building, but now we're moving on up in the virtual hierachy we know as Second Life to an Adult sim.

The first thoughts of most people in Second Life will tell you that the adult rating's requirements are stupid and they don't know why they have to verify that their adult just to be able to acess the more adult parts of the grid (including but not limited to things like BDSM, strip clubs, vast public nudity and exhibitionism) I personally don't see why people make such a fuss over it, verify that you are over 18, it takes less than a minute and go on your day, unless of course, you're not over 18 ~.^

Anyways, Back to the original point. Thirteen has a New Mainstore location, Located on the north side of Zindra, between Linden Road and Linden North Shore Protected Land, in the city of Zindra (and about 3001 feet up to avoid any kind of grid lag and a funny parcel shape - but it was all I could find/afford to get at the time-)
Also, there is a newer small vendor at Death's Head, the Busty Village Shopping Mall, right above Foxbeans I do believe. It sadly, is also adult.. The mainstore on Fiesta will be there for a bit longer until my tier runs out and in which case the land will be sold to someone else to deal with the impossible lag and unstable sim caused by that stupid club that's taking up 1/4 of the damn sim.

All in all, I've failed it get any halloween costumes out, it's been a lot harder than i first thought, especially with real life sucking up my motivation like winter sucks away the heat from summer. Ill get around to it, I hope, In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed while I move this joint to the new sim.
