Yes, things are going to change around here.. two weeks ago Truus and I decided to stop working as business partners in-world. We have built up our business together, renting shops and selling our products there. Since we are both busy in rl and since my product range shifted from lingerie and clothing to lingerie, clothing and the fetishy latex designs, the combination of our products became a bit odd. So we are going our separate ways, still as good friends! Truus now decided to sell only through slexchange.com and onrez.com. She may open a little shop in-world again, and when she does, you will read it here.
So... what is going to happen to this website? Well... I am going to change it... I want to think up a new name for my business. Hugo's design is a nice name, but I think I want to have something a bit more unique and catchy. Next to a new name, the site itself will change too, a nice new design and i'll move the blog to the front page. Next to the blog the other two main elements will be the products catalogue and the models page. The content of this blog will change too... i'll still post my new releases here. Next to those, I would like to share with you the lessons I have learned so far and am still learning as a content creator and seller in-world and sl-photographer. More than enough to write about!
That is a lot of things to do, and since I run my own company in rl, I will have to see what I can do and when... Exciting times!
I also would like to thank Ryker Beck for her super review of my clothing on her blog. (A bit late... I know..) She is (re)opening her shop on the 1st of March to start selling a complete new range of products. Check her blog to read all about it!
Updates and setbacks...

I bought a new plot! woohoo! The studio has it's own space now and the shop has two floors. On the top floor you can find Truus' products and 'downstairs' you can find my items. Minor drawback was fact that the shop and studio are built at 700 meters height... apparently a SLurl on this website will not bring you there... It will tp you to the ground below the shop. I think I'll build a tp unit on the ground to the shop. The lm to my studio in my profile will not bring you to my studio, but below it.. don't know why, i'll look into it...
Then.. the shop at Willow has been closed. Through this blog I would like to thank Eve for all his work and effort he put into it! The shops in which you can now buy our items are the main shop at tintafel and the shop at Lionheart (at this shop you can find an lm for the main shop which works!)
Then some news about this website. I finally have the model page up and running. For now only Ellen is on there, but others will soon follow... These will be persons who have posed for me for clothing (the sale signs which you can also find on this site) or just for fun. In their portfolio you can find the (special) pictures I've taken and some extra information.
All set!

After a few days of configuring this blog (not finished yet) it is time to post a bit more serious message here. I haven't been in-world much lately due to RL things that take up most of my time. Same reason goes for the creation of new ideas or sets... This will be the case for the comming weeks too.
Then there is this website which is getting along quite nicely. Design is still not completely finished, and I have to see if the way the menu is structured will work out for me. The section 'new ideas' will disappear in time... I will post them here!
The section 'models' still needs some thinking too.. The main idea behind this is that occasionally I will have an avatar (not Ellen) show a set. The model/avatar then gets her section in 'models' which can be seen as a (little) portfolio with (some) information and extra images attached to it. This way someone who is interested in modeling will have an online portfolio and I will have a list of avatars to show the sets I create. I'm still looking into the format of that section...
Together with Truus I have rented shops in-world in which my creations up until now can be found. More about that in next posts!
