Looking for builders for Le Zoo remodel.

0

The Le Zoo sim, home to the Second Style Headquarters was the brain child of Haver Cole and has been around since 2004. It has been a favorite place to hang out, enjoy the scenery, take pictures and of course… SHOPPING!

With the new year approaching, and the theme for the January issue of Second Style being “Rebirth”, what better time to give Le Zoo, which is soon to be renamed, a much needed face-lift?

I would like to open the rebuild of the Le Zoo sim to bids. Here are some the specifications:

Style: I am very open to suggestions on this point, and would like for the sim to be “different”, keeping in mind that Second Style is a fashion magazine and blog. Some things that I would like to see however are; Clean, quaint, upscale, classy, and easily navigated. I would prefer not to have all the stores look the same. However, some of the smaller stores can be replicated (using different textures) as long as they aren’t placed close to each other.

Stores to include:
Second Style Headquarters – Will be used to house past magazine issues, event center, hang out area.
Three Large Stores – Large enough for tenant to be able to use 500 prims
Eight Medium Stores – Large enough for tenant to use 250 prims
Fifteen Small Stores – Large enough for tenant to use 100 prims
Five Tiny Stores – Large enough for tenant to use 50 prims
Other Stores – A few other small faux shops like; cafe, book store, etc. (More for photo taking opportunities)

The builder should poses high quality textures and the ability to use them in a way to minimize lag. They should also be prim conscience, versed in sculpties and possibly use mega prims to reduce prim use.

Bidding will remain open until December 31. Selection will be made no later than the first week of January. Deadline for sim remodel to be complete is January 31, so any applicants should keep our time frame in mind.

Please submit your bid and pictures of examples of your previous builds to HeatherDawn Cohen at heatherdawncohen@gmail.com.

Changes at Second Style

First off, I’d like to thank Iris for the great job she has been doing as Editor for Second Style. Without her amazing amount of help, great suggestions, being a brainstorm buddy, etc, I would have never been able to get Second Style up to full speed again. THANK YOU!! Unfortunately, Iris is no longer able to commit to her position at Second Style because her new RL job is going so great. I’m very happy for her and wish her the best.

Furthermore, I would like to announce Felicity Blumenthal as the new Editor for Second Style. I’m very excited about this due to her previous experience and will welcome a fresh perspective to the on-goings of the magazine. Please join me in welcoming her!

I’m am very happy to announce that I have the privilege of being the new owner of Second Style Media. Since being an active part in Second Style for the past three years, I’m honored, and very excited, to acquire this new role. I would like to thank Celebrity for this opportunity. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with her since the beginning as we’ve both seen this magazine grow up from nothing into what it is today. You haven’t seen the last of her, though, she will be posting on the blog, as usual, with her fabulous insight to the SL fashion world.

Second Style Magazine will hold production until May to allow for the necessary transition. Thereafter, we will continue to release on a monthly basis. If you are interested in advertising, please contact me and mention this blog and receive 10% off any size ad or package. Advertising on the blogs will continue so if you are interested in advertising immediately, that is available as well.

Thank you all for your support these past years. With out you, we wouldn’t be what we are today. I look forward to continue working with you all to make Second Style even better in the years to come.

Thank you,
HeatherDawn Cohen <3
