New CTK locations + ongoing sale

2011-01-12T13:37:00.008-06:00

I've always had two locations, but both sims went under renovation within the last month. So with the addition of my new main location in the lovely Eventide Far East Sim, I have two other smaller locations in the Kyoto Bakumatsu Sim, and the Blue Lotus Sim.

Kyoto Bakumatsu

Blue Lotus

All three sims are gorgeous. The Blue Lotus and Kyoto Bakumatsu sims are both Japanese themed and have quite an impressive atmosphere if you're interested in checking them out.
The Eventide Far East Sim is home to Kin Keiko's hair store and Polly and Max's skin store, Logo. The atmosphere here is very sophisticated and upscale. Gah.. not to mention i'm sandwiched between two favorite stores of mine since forever ago... I couldn't ask for more. :))

Eventide Far East

Enough Chatty Cathy from me. hehe :)

My sale is still going on now through Sunday at my main location.

Stuff marked down as low as 50L. I should totally buy a wacky inflatable arm flailing tube man for this.

Let the savings begin

2011-01-10T22:24:00.005-06:00

I finally have my renovated main store location and it is up and running! To celebrate, i'm having a sale now through Sunday. I have marked down my best sellers, including all of my hair, to 50% or more off.

Teleport to my main store location here!

CTK Renovation

2011-01-02T19:39:00.005-06:00

It's been a while since I was active with my CTK brand. Between school and my personal life, 2010 was quite the busy year.
As most of my followers know, I have always gone the traditional route when styling my shop. With the new decade I will be ushering in a more modern store layout.
Stay tuned! In a few days I will unveil the new location and images of the new store. As for the grand renovation reopening for CTK, I will also be having a sale.
Happy New Year everyone!

Hey Everyone,

It's been one heck of a school year. I started a game club on campus, joined the Student Government as head of my degree plan, and i've had projects out the wazoo. Well, it's Winter break. And I have decided to start producing while I have the chance. One of the projects I will be working on over the break will be skin. I'm going to start with geisha skins. I'm also planning on rolling out some new clothes. So when I get bored and/or frustrated with my attempt in making skins, I will have something else to work on. Lucky for me we have an awesome Mac Lab on campus with 32 in Cintiq monitors!
So just as an official announcement, I am back and will get started this Thursday. If you're online and say hey. :)

Hey everyone!
After a long hiatus, I came back but hadn't really started to update my blog. So here goes :)

I've started work to build a city that is modeled after a late Heian period/early Edo period Japanese castle town. It will also house my new mainstore location. Yes.. hehe expanding again. :) Just finished building/texturing the Castle Friday, here are some preview photos. I'll keep you posted as I go along. I do have plans to start new clothing projects after the city is built but until then this is taking up 100% of my time! ^__^

I'm always running out of space, every 3-4 months I have to make a new shop. So I did some brainstorming and came up with the idea to have multiple big buildings in the form of a village. Thanks to House of Effulgent for the building prefabs (I love love loooove her work!), I made 6 buildings fit on my land. Anyway it turned out quite nicely and I'm super excited about this build! Come check it out, below are some pictures :)

Hey everyone! I've finally gotten to a point to where I can start making clothing from other Asian countries. Annnnnd I made some Indian Saris. :)
Each Sari comes with bangles, 2 types of sari, a petticoat with glitch pants, blouse and 2types of prim skirts.
One of the prim skirts is scripted so when you sit the skirt doesn't fall through you, it realistically flexes with your legs like a real skirt would. The other non-scripted prim skirt is for those who don't like scripts in their skirts and it's just your normal prim skirt. XD
You can get them at my mainstore location on the 2nd floor: Click here for teleport.

Remembering 9/11

2007-09-11T07:10:00.000-06:00

This day brings back memories etched in my mind indefinitely of the events that unfolded which still seems like yesterday.
It was the first day of a new job I had just attained after weeks of interviews and tests and also the first day that I was truly living alone after a huge break up with an old boyfriend of mine at the time. He had taken my TV, my radio and my house phone which I gladly let him have just to get him out the door. All I had left for communication to the outside world was my cellphone.
I was supposed to be at work at 11am.. So I'm getting ready; shower, picking first day of work clothes, imagining what my boss will be like and hoping he/she isn't a prick.. I'm one of those people that don't drive with the radio on.. And I get a call from my mom.. a really weird call. It's hard to explain, one of those calls you jokingly answer the phone with a witty remark and then hear the other person's voice is shaken so you hurry to cover up the joke and be serious. But it was the first time in my life I felt my sense of security seriously shattered.
My mom said an airplane hit a building in New York. My first reaction was "are you serious? no way.. that's just.. no way." After her briefing me with more details as it unfolded on her break room TV at work I was I guess you could say in shock. Overwhelmingly shocked. I flipped the dial on my car radio and scan the AM waves for a news station and just listened. I turn around my car and head to my parent's house where there was a TV. I guess mostly so I could confirm that everyone was just blowing things out of proportion. Because who in their right mind would seriously believe the United States of America would be attacked by airplanes in the busiest city in the states. Only in the movies does this happen... Not possible... Arrogant thinking on my part I guess.. :/
I get to my mom's house and watching the events unfold live on national TV.. Fighting back tears at how they kept replaying the crashes and explosions that looked something like a worst-case-scenario this could happen movie, I made the decision to start heading to work. It was hard to decide because teetering on one side of my mind was "I need to mourn" and the other side "I need to show no fear or weakness." Mind you the job I had applied for and got was with a call center that did technical support for cable Internet services. So I am obviously late to work, my boss really didn't seem to mind but urged me to jump on the phones because the lines were crazy. Usually you need training before you get on the phones in a call center so I'm obviously scared thinking good lord now I have to keep my emotions in check to be professional AND help these people out with no training.. Most of our calls that day and many days following were from within a 50 mile radius of ground zero where the Internet had been manually shut down for apparently security reasons.
I had calls from people the first day basically telling me the Internet was down and then ending up just wanting to talk to someone about what had happened. I don't think they cared about the Internet being down so much as they just needed someone at that moment. I think I hit my limit emotionally about halfway through my shift because I remember feeling a great sense of loss, something special ended that day.. I ended up going home because the tears wouldn't stop coming on my break and crying on the phones in my opinion wasn't going to make it any more pleasurable for anyone.
I remember gathering as many white candles in my apartment I could find and lining them up on all my window sills that evening as did many of my neighbors. Having my close friends over that night to keep each other at bay emotionally. Kids that normally ran up and down the halls outside my apartment were indoors, the busy and very noisy airport about 10 miles west of where I lived was also very very eerily silent. The city I lived in was literally at a standstill.
Being in Texas we aren't close to New York location wise. I didn't know anyone who died on 9/11 directly. But that day will always be etched in my memories as vivid as if it were yesterday. Talking to strangers directly affected and obviously torn between grief and anger that day and many many days following affected me in a way impossible to describe. Leaving a lasting impression that still to this day on 9/11 when I relive these memories sends a chill up my spine. I can't begin to imagine what that day was like for those who did know someone who passed that day. But this was how my day unfolded and I thought I would share it for my memorial of 9/11 and those who had fallen that day needlessly.

I will never forget.

Customer Service Rocks! XD

2007-08-05T07:20:00.001-06:00

I usually dedicate my weekends to anything but making new clothes. And this weekend I rolled out a new gift vendor system and customer service "awareness." So far the gift vendor system has been a success. With the customer service awareness I wanted to make a poster that told people "Hey! she's cool & nice! I can talk to her!" so people wouldn't shrug an issue with a purchase of mine off and just end up not coming back. That would be the worst type of customer for anyone I think, if they have a problem and instead of telling you they just never shop at your place again. ;) So here's the poster, it's up in my main shop in Boracay Island.

Anywho, it's Sunday! Which means family day, well for me anyways. Have a good rest of the weekend everyone! ^__~

Sneak Peak & Gift Woes resolved

2007-08-02T08:43:00.000-06:00

Heya! :)

This is what I'm currently working on. I wanted to provide a sneak peak of the first in a series of unisex outfits that I will be releasing by the end of this week. When completed it will have a prim collar, shirt, jacket and pants.

Also wanted to mention, with thanks from Caliah, that I have found and was very impressed with a particular gift vendor and will have it up and ready by the end of this weekend for all your gift giving needs.

Much love,

Okay, so yesterday SL was bad. Today my patience is wearing thin. I finally was able to do some work today and then, like yesterday, couldn't upload textures. So I "re logged" only to find out that now I can't log back in because LL shut down the grid intentionally. I'm frustrated :C ... usually have the patience for the turbulence SL brings us all... Maybe I'm PMSing ... XD

Love,
Scary Cherry

I really do like the color pink.. So of course I had to make a pink version of this kimono.. Again no detail left unturned, 19 piece kimono.

The skin is from Sin skins and the hair is from 0 Style.

Finally finished the second kimono.. Here are the pictures of both.

These kimonos come with: flexi skirt prims, basic shoes, Oiran and a Geisha/Maiko obi, flexi sleeves, uchikake (japanese overcoat) & prim arm sleeves, 3 tiered prim collar, skirt, glitch pants, shirt, & a body shape.

I just finished this today. This kimono comes with all the bells and whistles. I have a psuedo 3d display up in my shop with more details. ;) http://slurl.com/secondlife/Boracay%20Island/175/94/24

This kimono comes with: flexi skirt prims, shoes, Oiran and a Geisha/Maiko obi, flexi sleeves, uchikake (japanese overcoat) & prim arm sleeves, 3 tiered prim collar, skirt, glitch pants, shirt, & a body shape.

You can wear this kimono however you want. That was the premise behind all the detail work. You can wear it without the uchikake, without the skirt prims but with the flexi sleeves, so on and so forth.

I have more prim and fabric patterns for the same idea that will be released soon.

Change is in the air.. or something

2007-07-18T15:26:00.000-06:00

Right after the sale we had over the past weekend, first thing Monday morning, Lux and I set out to change our landscape for the East meets West shops. It was a frickin blast! XD Here are some photos of my new shop, Lux & myself goofing off, and the surroundings of the modified terrain.

I've started making some skins.... Soooo yeah... XD I get tired of looking at skin all day so I have been taking breaks making new clothes so I don't tire myself out. I've made a Japanese schoolgirl outfit and a babydoll kimono dress. The schoolgirl outfit comes with prim baggy socks and the kimono dress can be worn as maternity clothes as well; the skirt prims are curved so it's a one size fits all I suppose hehe :)

Also wanted to mention Lux Yao (owner of Amaretto) and I have decided to take the East meets West concept a bit further. We have purchased land and made our main shops right next to each other. The SLurl is http://slurl.com/secondlife/Boracay%20Island/162/107/22 . Feel free to stop by and check it out. It's a pretty cute setup if i do say so myself ^_~ We also plan to have a Spring and Fall fashion show every year. So keep an eye out for future postings on an upcomming East meets West Fall show! :))

New kimonos have arrived.
These are more in addition to other tomesode and irotomesode kimonos I have made previously. Tomesode kimonos are traditionally worn to formal events by married women but recently, modern times, have been worn by non-married women to formal events as well. Irotomesode kimonos have traditionally been worn by married and non-married women to formal or casual occasions.
I spent a lot of time on the detail of the skirts and obis of these kimonos. Each kimono comes with a prim collar for a more "real" look, an obi (sash/belt worn around waist), oops pants and optional flexi sleeves with lining.
I am in the works of making a line of men's detailed kimonos. Keep an eye on my blog for pictures. :)
I also want to mention that Lux Yao, designer of [Amaretto], and I plan to do a fashion show, East meets West, on the 16th of June 2007. Also look to my blog for updates on the show. Skins for the models will be provided by Tete a Pied and both Lux's and my shapes will be worn by the models as well. DJ Nexeus will be providing ample music and voice chat commentary. Gift bags will be handed out with free items from both Lux and I! We're very excited about this show and a lot of planning is going into it! :))

These gorgeous taffeta and pure silk kimonos are good to wear for any occasion, formal or informal!

Get ready for summer with my new line of summer yukatas!

Each yukata comes with shoes, animated uchiwa fan, prim obi and yukata kimono.

"A yukata is a cooling garment to wear. Like other forms of clothing based on traditional Japanese garments, it is made with straight seams and wide sleeves. Unlike formal kimono, yukata are typically made of cotton rather than silk or synthetic fabric, and they are unlined." ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yukata

Hey everyone! : )

In-world my name is Cherry Tokyo. I started off in SecondLife as a wanderer and discovered an inner entrepreneur in myself. I decided to get a job to save money for running a business. I worked as a geisha at Ayumi's Geisha house dancing traditional geisha dances and playing japanese instruments such as the koto making pretty good tips for not having to take off my clothes! lol : ) Having the experience of being a geisha behind my belt I decided to make kimonos because I wore so many of them for performing. I started my business around January '07 and since then it has been a huge success thanks in part to all my friends and family in Secondlife.

So here's my updates blog, enjoy! : )
