Expansion! Woot!!

 

*Just BECAUSE* is now also in Avination, another virtual world like Second Life! It's so cool to expand to other worlds and offer the same quality clothes for their residents as I do in SL. 

I share a sim with another clothing designer - Athene Forder with Goddess Apparel. She is my next door neighbor in Second Life, but she's also a good friend of mine in RL, so it's just natural we'd share a sim in Avination too! :D We are creating the sim to be a New England style sim, complete with rental shops and perhaps even residential homes along the coastline. My store is up and running and fully open, but I'm still working on the rest of my sim area. Building, building, building! :D

So come on over and visit our Avination store!

TGIF!! With a new release too!

Now the women get to have the *JB* Originals - Urban Blues - blue jeans! Yup, the completely hand painted jeans I made for the men for the outfit "Authentic" is now available for the ladies! This outfit is great for an urban street look or casual look for those not interested in urban living.

I created an woman's version of "Authentic" that I am sure all of you ladies are going to love. Same extreme detail, same hyper realism, and same attitude that the men's version has but with a sexy element! For the women I created a cropped sweater with a more open and slouchy neckline and added a cute little tank top to go underneath. (There is also the long sleeve and full length sweater in there too!)

Have fun flirting your stuff with this new outfit! I hope you enjoy it!

It's a snow day!

So I am snowed in today with the massive snow storm that has swept across half the country! It's been fun, but unfortunately even snow days don't mean I can take a day off. The bad side to working from home LOL! BUT it means you guys get to keep on looking fabulous even when the weather outside is dreadful. :)

Modern yet powerful and classy, "Persuasion" exudes confidence and prestige. This outfit is completely handcrafted with an attention for detail, taking realism to the next level. When you wear *Just BECAUSE* clothing, you aren't wearing just clothing - you are wearing art!

Remember that at the *Just BECAUSE* store in world you are able to choose which permissions you want, too! You can choose this outfit in Copy/Mod or in Mod/Transfer, so you can buy for yourself or for that special person in your life! Gift boxes are available to make your gift giving all the easier. :)

Getting "Authentic"

I have just finished my latest men's outfit, called "Authentic", and it is sure to be a crowd pleaser! This outfit is completely handcrafted, right down to the stitches. (Yes, I know I am crazy! LOL! I am a detail person and I just couldn't help myself!) This new outfit takes detail and realism to the next level, but I have still kept with offering you the options you love!

"Authentic" is a very masculine grey and black striped sweater with sculpted neck collar, sculpted sleeves, and sculpted shirt bottom. The sweater also comes with sculpted rolled sleeves for when you need to roll up your sleeves. "Authentic" also comes with the first of a newly designed pair of highly detailed jeans series I am calling the *JB* Originals!  These jeans, as well as the sweater, are completely handcrafted by me. When you wear *Just BECAUSE* clothing, you aren't wearing just clothing - you are wearing art!

Remember that at the *Just BECAUSE* store you are able to choose which permissions you want, too! You can choose this outfit in Copy/Mod or in Mod/Transfer, so you can buy for yourself or for that special person in your life! Gift boxes are available to make your gift giving all the easier. :)

New Change of Plans, but for the Better!

I've been busy all day handpainting a new pair of jeans in preparation for my next men's outfit. It has been painstaking, but the results are so cool! I'm doing away with set release days because if I was trying to follow that I would cut corners on what looks to be my best jeans yet, and that would be a tragedy. So I'm going to continue working every day creating clothing for you all to enjoy and look smashing in, but I'm not going to say it HAS to be finished by Wednesday. Don't worry, this won't slow releases - it'll just make them better! :D I'm still striving for a new outfit every week, but I refuse to cut corners and give you second best. You guys deserve the very best, and I like to give you my best. :)

So while there won't be any more Release Day Wednesdays, there will continue to be lots of releases coming your way, and you can expect them to be the best I can give you. I don't think you will be disappointed. Better details, more details, and hyper realistic! I'm dedicated to making you guys look good and to give you my best. :)
