FIFTH SL Rez Day 5L Sale on now!

Today, Dec. 20, I'm celebrating my FIFTH SL Rez Day, and to celebrate, Montagne Noire is hosting a special 5L sale now through Dec. 26 at our main store in Caledon Oxbridge Village.

A total of ONE HUNDRED items have been reduced throughout the store to 5L!

 No, I haven't gone off the deep end -- everything from women's, men's and children's Victorian and other role play clothing, to accessories to furnishings to holiday decor are featured in this sale -- gifts for yourself and gifts to give to your family and friends.

One of the 100 5L items you'll find at the shop through Dec. 26.

I just want to thank all my customers for their support over the last five years, especially during my treatment for breast cancer.

What a pleasure it has been to be a resident and content creator in SL for all this time. I am still in love with the place after five years. 

I hope you'll stop by and share in my celebration. Very Happy Holidays to you!

Get your Pilgrim on!

Okay, I confess that updating this blog hasn't been at the top of my priorities list since returning full time to SL... for one thing, they changed the template on me, and because of my cognitive issues it takes forever for me to get used to changes like this.

Also, I've been concentrating on creating content, and getting ready for the holidays, which this week includes Thanksgiving.

Two new additions to Montagne Noire's role play clothing: "Le Pieux" (The Pious) and "Le Petit Pieux", two 17th century costume sets depicting the American Pilgrims, part of the reason why we celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November each year.

The Pilgrims arrived on America's shores in 1620, in the the small 100-foot ship the Mayflower, where they founded the colony of Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Legend has it that it was the native Wampanoag people who helped the Pilgrims survive the first winter in Plymouth, teaching them to fish and later grow corn in the spring.

The "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated in 1621, and the feast lasted three days, providing enough food for 53 Pilgrims and 90 Native Americans.

"Le Pieux" features male and female costumes for adults; "Le Petit Pieux" is for male and female children. These sets, like our other "couples" sets, are mod/trans, allowing you to transfer the second costume to your partner, friend, a fellow actor or role player, or other avatar.

This costume set can also be worn in other role play environments, or modified to fit other eras -- for men, the pants can be lengthened, the collar resized, and your own shoes and hat added.

The woman's costume is also generally representative of many other "plain dress" religious movements, such as the Quakers, Mennonites and Amish.

These sets retail for 250L, but as new releases, this week they both are 50% off -- just 125L, ONLY at our main store in Caledon Oxbridge Village. Enjoy!

New Independence Day/Bastille Day gown & more!

Bonjour!

It happens to me every year, I look at the calendar and July is right at my doorstep -- and I haven't even started on my annual "Patriot" item!

Luckily this year I am a little ahead of schedule -- I present to you "Juillet," a ball gown to celebrate American Independence Day on July 4, and French Bastille Day (also known as La Fête Nationale) on July 14. It's specially priced at just 100L!

Juillet (July) is the month my Role Play character celebrates two monumental events in the history of her adopted nation and her birth nation: American Independence Day on July 4, and French Bastille Day (also known as La Fête Nationale) on July 14.

The flags of both nations share the colors red, white and blue, and so Juillet was created to honor the shared triumph of the American and French people in reaching toward the historical ideals of democracy.

I hope you enjoy this gown and have fun at the many Independence Day and Bastile Day balls and events that are planned around Second Life this year!

Also, back in the "bargain alcove" are three DOLLARBIE patriotic straw boater hats for women, girls, and for men & boys.

AND, there are a few bits of patriotic decor around the shop that are available for sale -- fan banners and posters.


NEW BOYS & GIRLS RP OUTFITS

"L'Orphelin" and "L'Orpheline" are the the first children's costumes to be introduced to the Montagne Noire Role Play Collection. As new items they are 50% off for the first week, so just 100L!

The costume is designed for the RPer who wishes to play an orphan, with the added option of playing a blind child -- or perhaps a sighted child playing a blind orphan for financial gain. How the story develops is completely up to you!

STILL MORE SALES

The "Pink & Red" sale is still going strong (all pink & red clothing is 50L), as is the Victorian bathing suit sale -- men's and women's suits are 50% off -- plus there's a brand new black & white suit for the ladies!

OTHER NEWS

The Caledon shop has expanded -- the "bargain alcove" is now at the back entrance of the shop, where the free group gift vendor now resides, along with the dollarbies, and our soon to debut Sixty Linden Weekends kiosk!

Every weekend for Sixty Linden Weekends we'll be featuring a fabulous gown -- might be from our regular inventory, might be a limited edition -- for just 60L! I'll be sending out notices as next weekend gets closer. :)

That's it for now! I am still fighting cancer with both fists -- SL and designing clothing are a great distraction and therapy. So thanks for making that possible for me! :)

A Green Sale for St. Patrick's Day

Just for fun, Montagne Noire announces a special St. Patrick's sale - all regular priced green clothing is 50% off now through Wednesday, March 17!

This sale is taking place **ONLY** at our Caledon Oxbridge Village main store:

Green being one of my favorite colors, you'll find that there are several dresses on sale, from 100L to 175L.

Also included are three Le Petit girls dresses and a mens suit on the second floor.

The sale also includes some winterwear accessories in our seasonal section on the third floor.

And don't forget to visit the clearance section, where last year's promo St. Patricks Day ball gown is reduced to just 20L!

While you are shopping, be sure to check out the Steam Hunt display as you enter the shop. More than 100 Victorian and Steampunk merchants are participating in this month long event (including Montagne Noire), and from what I've seen there are some amazing items to be had.
