			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, by now, I know everyone&#8217;s been made bruisingly, brutally aware of the XStreet Debacle.</p>
<p>LC&#8217;s official stance is fairly simple. This likely won&#8217;t work out for LL. They very well may have tanked the legacy of the OnRez and Xstreet system single-handedly. i can&#8217;t say for sure, but it seems like they did just screw themselves.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, lots of great merchants are bouncing over to other systems. LC has chosen <a target="_blank" href="http://meta-life.net">Meta Life</a>, a fantastic new network that combines the web-selling venture of Xstreet with instant vendor capability, a shop-and-travel in-world HUD, and branding and affiliate systems that just make shopping for SL goods and services painfully easy.</p>
<p>That said, I had to spend about 6 hours of time that I normally would have used to work, shifting my entire inventory over to ML. I whole-heartedly encourage all of my customers to go over to ML. You can shop from ML vendors in-world without an account!</p>
<p>Great things are coming for LC. I made a breakthrough today. The official necklace should be out in a few days. Here&#8217;s a quick test I did with the &#8220;L&#8221; I made&#8230; :3 No, it won&#8217;t have diamonds on it in the official necklace. Though that gives me ideas.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really wish I could get a better photo upload system working, because it would make posting here a lot less daunting!</p>
<p>The Princessa pendant has been released for about a week now. We&#8217;ve also released a cute series of half-gloves for L$13 a pop. Several hunts are coming up in the next few months, in which you will all get a totally free gift that is not yet available at LC! Each hunt gift is tailor-made for the hunt theme or is an archived item that fit the bill and has been rebranded. (Several of the items are earrings.)</p>
<p>I promise to start posting more. I just need to figure out the whole photo upload feature and get it easily functioning. So far I&#8217;ve been uploading to tinypic and then posting the direct link, but that&#8217;s just inelegant, isn&#8217;t it? More soon!</p>
