And a Good Time was Had by All!

Fleur Skins reopened the sim yesterday and many of you dropped by to explore, chat and try/buy the new Parfait and Shojo skins, including the new Azalea skintone that everyone is raving about. The snow fell gently as we all enjoyed the results of the talents of CJ Carnot and Roslin Petion.



Our CSAs were on hand to help as were a number of our Fleur Insiders. All looked smashing in their newly released skins :)

Just a reminder that every line has its own store. The goth/specialty skins share a space with a few delights from ~silent sparrow~. (hyasynth Tiramisu was the inspiration for our China Allure skintone.) Free accessory packs will be available soon in each store. The Divas' Halloween Special is now showing at cinema fleur. Follow the instructions on the sign in the theatre. Take a seat and enjoy:) Also don't miss Park Gallery at Fleur and the adjacent coffee shop. Fleur has *everything* on one sim to make your skin shopping comfortable and enjoyable.

The new Store Cards are also available. You can buy them from the red signs in each shop. The signs also explain what they are and how to use them. The bigger denominations give you a nice discount on multiple skins, thus replacing the old 3 packs. This way YOU choose your 3 pack.

I will be offline until December 17 so direct all Customer Service issues to Roslin Petion and the very competent Fleur CSA, Fury Stapleton. They will take care of your needs. I hope to come back and see you ALL wearing the new Fleur skins!

It's *ALMOST* Time -- New Skins, New Build at Fleur

**We are now OPEN!** Here's your limo :) http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fleur/136/126/27



In two hours, at 2pm SLT, the Fleur sim will reopen its doors to you. CJ has outdone himself again with a New York City/Soho build. It *is* winter and the snow is falling so bundle up a bit ;)

Each of our skin lines now has their own shop AND there is a bargain basement. Price points have changed a bit. Allure and Boutique skin lines are now L$1000, including the new Parfait Trois and Shoujo Da ni ban makeups AND the new Shoujo Azalea skin tone we have been telling you about. Vivants remain at L$500, BUT some older ones are nicely discounted at L$250 in the Bargain Basement. Just follow the arrow!




You will find the Gothique & Drow Vivants in their own shop along with the Allure China skintone skins. There is also a small selection of ~silent sparrow~ goodies thanks to the kindness of hyasynth Tiramisu. She has included the Suzume dresses that go with the Suzume Allure China skins.

Additionally we are hoping to debut a new gift card system today that gives you a big discount when buying more than one skin. Rather than the old 3 packs, you will now be able to select your own 3 pack at a discount. I'll give you more information as soon as I can get it out of the very busy Mr. Carnot.

See you in a bit!

Fleur Reopens Saturday 2pm SLT with New Boutique Skins

We have also "relocated" to lower Manhattan, NYC and will be residing in a wonderful new CJ Carnot build reminiscent of SoHo and Greenwich Village.




Each of our skin lines will have their own boutique, as will the clothing and accessories. The pale skin tones will share a shop with a sampling of ~silent sparrow~ delights. We also will have The Fleur Cinema, where we will be showing the previous Divas series, while waiting for the new one. Next to the cinema will be the coffee cafe and gallery, with room to sit, sip your latte and enjoy the art.

The new skins will include 6 new makeups for The Boutique Line Parfait Trois, in which Parfait grows up a bit and gets some "glam." Shoujo also has 6 new makeups AND, as you requested, a NEW slightly darker skintone, Azalea. All Shoujo makeups will be available in the new skintones.

Starting at 2pm SLT tomorrow we will be open for you to visit and try on the new skins, enjoy a cup of coffee and listen to some wonderful New Tork themed music. Many of our CSAs and Fleur Insiders will be present to welcome you to the NEW Fleur, where you will find a style and price that suits you!

**NOTE: The Fleur Update group will close to new members at 12 noon SLT Saturday, Nov. 28. Shortly after that time the group gift will be sent out viaFleur Group notices. So join now and enjoy a lovely free skin especially made for the group.**
