New Release - FireFlybrella

I can't believe as long as I've been strange and unusual umbrellas that I haven't made a firefly one before now!

But here it is... lovely animated glowing fireflies gently swarm about this new weather effect umbrella. Copy mod in two versions, with hold pose and without. Color change fabric as always :)

Cloud Lamps, Skelebrellas, and Jester Hats

Time for some more recent releases from Weather! or not?... we've got three to tell you about on this round, and lot's more coming soon! Plus there's a hunt item as well for Twisted.

Weather! or not? Main Store

At our Main Store you'll find the Little Fluffy Cloud Lamp, latest in a series of cloud based releases. This one has a full effect and light menu so you can customize your lamp to suit your whims, including switching on the sun or the rain to match your mood. 180$L

For those of you who love hunts, it's that time again for the toughest hunt in SL - Twisted! Our Arcane-themed prize is the fantastical Genie Effect, which will instantly make your avatar (more) magical. Free in this color throughout the month, after which a full effect and color control version will be released.

For this month's Flux theme of taxidermia, we've created the Bejeweled Skelebrella, complete with rubies in the palms of the boney hands and skull eye sockets. Comes in two versions for use with or without an umbrella AO that you may have already. 150$L

Last but not least there are some rather festive  hats to be had at the Starlust Gatcha Festival! Five different colors of Suede Jester Hats, all original mesh design by Weather! or not? and complete with little bells that actually jingle.

Starlust Gatcha Fest at Lloyd

I'm proud to introduce to you a new umbrella offering in collaboration with the renowned and wonderfully talented hyasynth Tiramisu of ~silentsparrow~! Combining her charming original strawberry vines designs and our wrought iron whimsy sculpted umbrella, we have created the Strawbrella. Windblown blossoms and raining berries emit from this one, and wow are they cute! Weather! or not? main store - available here :)

Dragonfly madness at the Alt Fair

The Alt Fair is all about protecting people from exposure to Malaria from mosquito bites by providing nets to families. It's a simple concept, but a powerful and effective one. Weather! or not? decided to go with the bug theme for our exclusive releases for the Fair... so we went with dragonflies! (Further has a bit of a thing for dragonflies, you see). There are a series of these tshirts - with two different colors schemes for the graphic and then varying shirt fabric hues as well. These forest green ones pictured are the variety released exclusively for the Fair.

... and of course we had to release an umbrella as well - this one is a lovely Green Dragonflybrella! It features the same swarming particle system that the Batbrella uses.

The Alternative Fair is on the Pulse, Nomine, Snatch City and New Kadath Sims April 22-May 2. The first Annual SL Alternative Fair features over 50 designers in Punk, Rock, Gothic, Grunge, Lolli, Visual Kei, Cyberwear and many other styles of Alternative Clothing, Skins, Hair and Accessories.

Spring has sprung with the new Daisybrella

What's better than walking around with a giant flower as an umbrella? Having two types of daisies spiral out and blow around you in the wind! Our newest umbrella offering features these elements, as well as lovely sculpted leaves and color change petals to match any outfit. This creation is very joyous - everyone we know who's seen it seems to have their spirits uplifted a little. We certainly enjoyed making it! :)

 Find it in-world in our Main Store location or on Xstreet

St Pat's Day!

We're super proud to announce two new release products to celebrate St Patrick's Day!

Firstly, Clover Paper Lanterns!



All original design and sculpting with an interior glow for a sophisticated effect. Item is copy & mod, so you can decorate a large area with them. Prim count is very low (only 4 for the entire string of eight lanterns!) but the quality & detail is high. Please take a look either inworld or on xstreet

Also the Cloverbrella!


A four-leaf clover custom sculpted umbrella that emits two different types of clover to blow in the wind. Umbrella is transfer - makes a wonderful gift! Available inworld or on xstreet.

Press coverage - FabFashion TV and Chic blog...

Hey - we're on television! We were approached by Patty Cortes and Angie Mornington over the weekend, and voila - today our umbrellas were featured as part of Fabulous Fashion TV. Here is the link for the whole show:

Watch it here (our coverage starts around 32:30).

Also today Chic Aeon has included the WishyWashyBrella in her latest blog post - I really love what she did with the picture for this!

Oh, and more coverage on this blog, featuring the Sunbrella vs a scary urban tunnel and a bad day - guess who wins? ;)

Neon and Dirty Laundry? New Releases for the Accessory Fair ;)

Weather! or not? new releases available ONLY at the Accessories Fair for the month of March:

Can't help but air your dirty laundry? Then this is for you you! ;) Although this umbrella provides minimal weather protection, drops the occasional sock and is kind of rusty & bent this accessory screams 'this person is a bit strange!'. If thats your kettle of fish, or your bag of eels even, please consider proudly wielding the WishyWashyBrella!

Features:
* Highly detailed sculptie construction, lovingly bent and warped from years of simulated virtual use (and swinging on it like it was playground equipment).
* intermittent sock dropping Particle effect
* flexible pre-soiled 'washing' hanging from the line
* highly detailed sculptie clothes pegs/pins
* sculpted wearable shoulder sock (as if one fell on you and stayed there).

This isn't just a texture in a box, its a fully sculpted miniature 3D neon sign! The text cycles from NITE to LIFE, going dark inbtween, and a small red illuminates you at the same time as the text lights up - cool effect!

Enjoy as always,

Fang Roffo and Further Monday
