It gives any design a look of elegance, class and can be very sexy as well. Today that combination was shared in the form a a gift to all who had the time to spare to pick one up. There is a choice of five elegantly designed outfits from Javabox  Kawanishi and Vidal Boutique Manhattan. Each person is allowed to choose one outfit they like from the Zebra  Collection to keep for themselves. A lot of ladies were very appreciative and anxious to put on their new outfits and wear them out on the SL town tonight.  It's always a very gratifying feeling to be able to help people by giving them a very nice designer gift. So look out Santa, you'll have some sexy helpers tonight. This wasn't the first and wont be the last Designer Gift, given away in Manhattan.

Rich red texture (I just love anything red!) Check out the pics below!

I had the opportunity to talk to Billy about his designs, here is what he had to say...

Paniagua Rubble: Billy, you said your store is a Batik store, please explain.
Billy Hadisson: Yes, batik have many patterns, it all came from different places in Indonesia
the most popular is batik from central java. Different places have their own pattern for example Cirebon- West Java has Batik Mega mendung. Also certain patterns are worn only by nobility. But in general people where all sorts of patterns not just based on where they come from.
The great example is UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on October 2, 2009.
Paniagua Rubble: This is very interesting I will definately be looking into this. The design possiblities are endless and the patterns are so beautiful!

Last night, we also had another Sit N' Win event with much success!

Down We Went! Crash!!

It was my usual Lunchtime event with DJ Urbanking in Manhattan City. Everyone was dancing, socializing, laughing and having a good time.Now, I dont know how true it was, and you did'nt hear it from me. I don't even know how the rumor got started. A few people I can't name at this time, to keep their identity hidden, told me that Urbanking's beats were so tight. So jammeriffic(just made that one up) that DJ Urbanking and his turntable crashed Manhattan City. Yes it is true. In the middle of his set, we all got the boot offline. Crash went Manhattan City! Take a good look at this man's photo. If the best music and a good time for all is what your'e looking for. Be quick. Call him up. DJ Urbanking Burner is your man.
