Posted on February 9, 2012 by Alaska Metropolitan

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, I’m releasing a slinky lace off-the-shoulder minidress called “Milla”, and an underwear set named “Basix” with a variety of options!

“Basix” is a rework of a previously-unreleased underwear set. Each colour contains everything you need for underwear: bra with and without straps, panty, and thong. There’s versions that are opaque, sheer, and lace. “Basix” will come in beige, brown, “pebble” dark grey and “clarity” pale pink.

I’ll be releasing “Basix” and “Milla” this weekend, so you can have something lovely, lacey, and affordable for Valentine’s Day.

Online exclusive: “Yvette” dress for L$10

Posted on June 21, 2010 by Alaska Metropolitan

"Yvette" L$10 dress: only available online

I’m currently testing the online shopping aspect of the alaskametro<3 website. I’m aiming to have full listings eventually. In the meantime, I’m finding out if apez.biz is the way to go to deliver items. You can help me test this!

I’ve created a listing for an exclusive dress named “Yvette”, for the low price of L$10. This is a retro, cruise-inspired dress that never made it to final release and has been sitting in my inventory for a while. It’s a nice vintage look, strapless with a royal blue pencil skirt and nautical-ish horizontal stripes on the top.

Buy “Yvette” here | Click here for instructions on using the online shopping site

If you purchase the dress online, please drop me a note in-world or in the comments, and let me know if you found the shopping experience easy to understand. Your feedback helps me decide if I should keep using the apez system for delivery, or look into alternatives. Thank you!
