Collabor88

I have 10,000 more words to write to complete last year’s nanowrimo…yes, last year’s.  Can you see why I have yet to earn the official nanowrimo badge?  I have yet to write 50,000 in 30 days.  I’m amazed by those who do, especially by my very very wonderful friend who has written 50,000+ words in 30 days several years in a row.  I’ve completed it in 45 days, 60 days, and now this year, I’ll be completing it in a year.  Lots has been going on this year that pushed my writing back…including the structure I thought up for it this time around.  Writing a new, complete story in each chapter is not easy; at least for me it’s not.  Which leads me to this post.  One of the things I do when I have writer’s block is look into fashion event notices.

A few days ago, I received a notice about Collabor88, a cozy venue where a variety of designers offer items — priced at a mere 88L — specifically for this event.  I picked up several wonderful creations there, including these lovelies:  a beautiful skin called “Paige” from Illusory (at 88L for each skin tone, I purchased all five skintones); a fun knit dress from Fashionably Dead (neon undergarment not included); sleek and wonderful hair from Clawtooth, with a menu to change the color of the bow (each color pack comes with five different variations of the color for 88L!); and, ever-wonderful jewelry — this time in the form of a bracelet — from Earthstones.

Check out Collabor88 for these great items and more.  Collabor88 is a monthly event, so if you’re interested in the current selection, head over there in the next few days.  Check out Illusory’s earlier post on Collabor88, complete with a list of participating designers.  And then head back again in October to check out the new collection.  I know I will!
