Steelhead Shanghai Shoppe
29 August, 2009 08:44 AM Filed in: Miscellaneous

We are very pleased to announce that BlakOpal Designs has opened a location in the new Steelhead Shanghai region. Part of the larger Steelhead community (five sims and growing fast), it explores the notion of the pacific northwest in the 19th century and adds in elements of steampunk and fantasy to create a truly unique environment in Second Life. As the name suggests, Steelhead Shanghai has a distinctive Asian feel to it, serving as the city's 'chinatown' so to speak. We designed a shoppe that would be as much fun for exploring as for shopping, but it's just one of many incredible, inspired builds. Click here to visit BlakOpal Designs in Steelhead Shanghai.

BlakOpal Designs Ladies Catalog
16 August, 2009 02:00 PM Filed in: Miscellaneous

This little gem slipped into the shoppe earlier in the summer without any fanfare whatsoever, and it’s time to correct that oversight. Going beyond the photos and images we use in signs and notecards for the shoppe and XStreet Listings, BlakOpal has assembled a beautiful catalog of glamour photographs featuring our Ladieswear collections.
It’s a beautiful book you can peruse at your leisure, either by rezzing it in-world and flipping through the pages, or wearing as a HUD to display in your viewer window. Pick up your free copy at the Main Store in New Babbage.
Gift Cards
16 August, 2009 01:00 PM Filed in: Miscellaneous

Not sure which item to get for your friend? Let them decide by getting them a gift card. Available in several denominations, the BlakOpal Gift Card can be used to purchase a wide range of merchandise from the Main Store in New Babbage or from our shoppe in Caledon Oxbridge Village. The card is extremely easy to use, and contains an instruction notecard.
Our gift card system has recently been updated, and you can now do split payments for items (when the thing you want costs more than the balance on your card). You can find the BlakOpal gift cards for sale in several denominations on the second floor of the Main Store in New Babbage or at the shoppe in Caledon Oxbridge. Also available on XStreet SL.
Shelley Gown Remix

One great thing about clothing with copy/modify permissions is that you can make a copy of the outfit and then start playing around with it. Aside from simply adjusting the fit to your specific avatar, you can also start combining pieces from other outfits.
In the photo above, for example, BlakOpal has combined elements from the new blue flowers corset set with the Shelley Gown, creating a completely new look fit for any night out in SL.

Dark Horizons Lingerie - Blue

Sexy and slinky, with the right amount of tease.
