Tiptastic!

How it began...

Recently Ke was asked by our lovely friend, live music manager Lo Bloch, to create a home and Music Venue. Lo's venue is My Wish II at Maka Mua - and it is beautiful. Here she holds benefit gigs with proceeds going to charity. She is a sweetheart :)

Then Lo asked for a few tip jars she could offer to artists. So Ke created a few... then a few more... and I think he was enjoying himself because at the last count we have 35 of them! They range from the traditional music style jar to the cute, stylish, fantastical, niche and well... creepy (but Halloween is just around the corner) I won't post them all here but you can view them in all their glory at our flickr, or on xstreet, or in the vendor upstairs at our store.
















































All our tip jars (over 35 different ones in total) are made with the best sculpties, textures and scripts you can find.
After consulting a few artists to find out what they like and need from a tip jar, all the following options can be turned off or on, so you can have a very advanced tip jar with all these options active or a very simple tip jar with no floating text at all, no particle, no sound and no gift...

- floating text above the tip jar with the owners name: on/off

- floating text above the tip jar with the highest tip: on/off

- floating text above the tip jar to show who tipped last and how much

- floating text above the tip jar with the total amount of tips since it was rezzed

- change the color of the floating text above the tip jar

- say the name of the person who tips and thank them in open chat

- change the text of how someone is thanked in open chat

- play a sound when someone tips

- replace the sound with your own sound

- poof a particle when tipped

- replace the particle with your own particle

- give a free radar HUD to everyone who tips

- replace the gift with your own

- change fast pay prices

- split tips with as many people as you want

- send a message to the owner of the tip jar on a private channel telling him who tipped and how much .

We also offer custom build tip jars in any shape you can imagine. You dream it, we build it. In some cases we can add your name and maybe a text of your own to tip jars that we have in the vendor
Prices depend on the time invested in it and if it will be built exclusive for 1 person or not.
However if you come up with a good idea for a tip jar, which we might consider to sell in the vendor afterwards, we'll only charge a normal price instead of a custombuild price.

Ghosting

I got stuck inworld, all night, even though I was logged off. To the awesome Trin of Sindecade who rescued me by contacting me and then restarting the sim I would like to say a huge thank you! You rock! And so does your store :) And apologies for spooking you out :)

Lono

















Lono is our brand new Bar set and as it is on a very special promotional offer on Xstreet right now (and as I think it would be *perfect* for Emerald's new venture) this seems a good time to blog it :)

The Bar itself is only 11 prims and the marching Bar Wall is only 12 prims. They come with all the features you expect from Khargo furniture like texture change and pose change - there are some interesting poses included on the bar :) It also comes with a bar tender pose to clean up all those spills - I spied you dancing there, Suzie!. Also included in the set is a copyable barstool, a drinks dispenser and a resizable dance floor with dance ball.

Here are the vital statistics:

1. bar, 11 prims, copy
- texture, tint, brightness, shininess and glow changeable in 2 groups. - 2 spots for single sit or stand with 10 different animated poses. - 1 spot for dancing on top of the bar with 3 different dances
2. barwall, 12 prims, copy
- texture, tint, brightness, shininess and glow changeable in 2 groups.
3. dancefloor, 3 prims, copy/mod so you can change the size)

5. barstool, 6 prims, copy
-texture, tint, brightness, shininess and glow changeable in 2 groups - 1 spot for single sit with 5 different animated poses.
6. drink dispenser, 5 prims, copy
- Touch the dispenser and a menu will pop up to choose a drink from, which is guaranteed to get you drunk before you're even 1/3 of the way through the list!
7. light 6 prims, copy
- texture, tint, brightness, shininess and glow changeable in 2 groups - touch glass to turn off/on light
8. bartender ball, 1 prim, copy

Newness @ Khargo

New store, new goodies :)

Hmmm.... where to start?

Alphabetically, maybe, to satisfy my inner Librarian (Oook)

1st we have the Athena Bookcase Set.

This is updated and expanded from the Storybook Hunt gift. I loved it so much Ke decided to sell it in store.

This set has 3 items which are:

1. athena bookcase with cushion, 8 prims, copy - 1 spot for single sit with 3 different animated poses on the cushion - texture, tint, brightness, shininess and glow changeable in 2 groups - gives a book when you touch the book prim which you can wear for the read pose
2. athena bookcase single, 3 prims, copy
- texture, tint, brightness, shininess and glow changeable in 1 group
3. athena rug, 1 prim, copy / mod
- texture, tint, brightness, shininess and glow changeable in 1 group.

Athena is also listed on Xstreet

Next we have the Boreas Bench Set.

This is a versatile bench set for indoors or out. Like all our furniture it is texture changeable (by clicking the shadow prims) with over 20 textures in this set. The all important stats:
1. bench, 7 prims, copy - 2 spots with poses with 6 different animated poses. - texture, tint, brightness, shininess and glow changeable in 1 group
2. table, 8 prims, copy - 2 spots with poses with 5 different animated poses. - texture, tint, brightness, shininess and glow changeable in 2 groups
3. plant, 4 prims, copy
- texture, tint, brightness, shininess and glow changeable in 2 groups

We've discovered the table is very popular for dancing :)
Find it at Xstreet also - here.

All our items can also be bought individually at our Main Store in world.

A nice match with the Boreas is the Demeter Plants and Palms.

As low prim converts we find people asking more and more for us to supply them with low prim plants to enhance their gardens. Demeter is our answer.

Besides the Full Set we also sell the Demeter Palms and Plants or you can buy them all individually at our Main Store.








We do have more goodies... but we don't wanna spoil you :) We'll post more of them when your excitement has calmed down a bit :)

See ya soon!
