For this one, no one s left behind. One hidden gift but packed with a men and a women's gift.

The Hint:


"The rising sun, is the answer to elevate yourself."

The Hint!! The Hint!!!

Sorry all,i  forgot to post the Hint for the Make Him Over Hunt.

As usual my shop is definitaly not the hardest, as i hate to have people pissed off in my zen environment.;)

Sooo, where was I..?  Ha yes, the hint... well... the thing is around something that is  red... And to make it short for you, its not the big red tree in the middle im talking about.

And its not on the women's side of the shop either...

Speaking of women's  you should pass by as i have  some new Tomesode kimonos in store.

New kimono releases

So, in order of appearance, we have a brand new formal tomesode kimono called "The Koifish legend Kimono"
It illustrates the famous japanese  legend  called " The dragon gate on the yellow river".

The  koi fish succeeds in climbing a fall called the (dragon gate on the yellow river) and would transform into a dragon. Because of the legend the koi became a huge symbol for worldly advancement and aspiration .

Then i also put for sale the Cherry Blossom II Kimono. This one is a re edition of the 1 rst version that has always been an extremely popular model at The Ancient Tree.  It comes in the geisha version only, but it comes with an animated fan. This one  has a special price!!!

 

New hunt at the Ancient Tree

Therefore, free kimonos!


It s the Needle in a Haystack Hunt going on for the month of August!

The gifts are a formal tomesode kimono in the geisha version for women and a black koifish yukata with stripped hakama for men. The decorative katana is included as well.

Both are new releases!


Ho and here are the official hints:
Women's:

i have been lost  between  something that refresh you and a formal attire.

Men's:

  its just over the top

Dont forget, women s clothng are on the right side of the store, and the men's section is the left side!

Happy Hunting!

Big remodeling at The Ancient Tree Sim

 Still going up to the end of the Month, but the major changes you can see are:

The Mens shop is gone!!!   Dont worry, only the build is. All the mens kimonos are  back inside the Main Building, on the left side. Thats where the Zashiki-gi collection was. Toshiha took a separated building at the other corner of the sim. There is still plenty of room for a lot of addition in the future!!!

This allowed me some free prims and space which i am actually transforming in a nice  garden and water feature area with hanging and dancing spots,  a boat where you can fish and relax, and the sushi bar is always there for  your enjoyment!!!

 From the landing point, on the dock, you can access all the public areas.
The Main Store of course, largest building on the Sim, the sushi bar and all the exteriors areas are there for you.

Another big new addition will be the texture store. Located where the Ancient Tree Market actually is, and where i already sell textures.  It will follow a owner change in the business, my friens MOon Starship who already contributes to the textures creation will take ownership of it all, to simplify business management. It s now called Universal textures Studio, and the complete change will be seen at the end of the month! Check this place for high quality architectural textures!!!

So, i invite you to pass by the Ancient Tree, to see all that is  new and enjoy the new public areas!!!  Suggestions are welcome because, in the end all this is for you!!!

Dont forget there is some space left for rental, dont wait too long! one big corner of sim  left!!!


Also, there is still  the Texture Manias Hunt going on  at the texture store, and in August i will have another hunt with free male and female kimonos!

In the meantime, dont forget almost all the kimonos in store have been reduced, except the newest releases!
 

Enjoy your stay and pass by often, as i dont always announce the promotions, as notices in sl are so oftenly bypassed and annoying.

Your humble kimono maker,

Solene Hoisan

How so gorgeous

I absolutely wanted to share some gorgeous pictures made by pro photographer Catherine Fairport.!!

She also blog there :
 http://freebiefashionista.blogspot.com/2010/07/creative-insanity-ancient-tree-kimono.html

 She is actually magnificiently displaying my brand new "Tomesode Kimono" A very formal and traditional kimono type.

This price will last just one week so hurry!

Fashion Show Review

As promised, i bring more pictures, but  really poor quality here... Well the photographer was humble me.
And humble me was wearing many hats that day, and  totally completely forgot to even think of hiring a photographer... Which is a shame...I apologize to all the good photographer of this virtual world.

So.. here is some pictures anyways:

Nicau san here wear Kombu.
Kombu (kelp) has a large impact on Japanese society from a basic ingredient in foods to it's many uses in commercial and industrial applications. 

MIss Emlies here, is wearing the Pink Owl Kimono with grace!!!

Nicau san again, who seems to have been the lucky man with my camera!  He is wearing the black kimono. A simple yet elegant  black kimono with hakama and the formal crests.

Emlies here is wearing Purples Lillies and Andreas is wearing Green Harvest. Their matching theme and color makes them fit very well together!

Emlies is wearing Yellow Birds. This kimono is one of my favorite. Very subtle and soft, it fits wonderfully for  a mature geisha.

Complete change of style here for Emlies, again!
We now get the chance to see her face as she is stunningly wearing  the latex Kimono "China Ink". Sadly the picture is so bad. I might have to ask her to  make another photoshoot!


Shame i dont have a good picture of Kwatsu, He is always a fantastic model for me!!!!

 
Some more pictures of the event...

Here is Daddio Dow, apparently taking his Host  role very seriously.. refer to previous post to know what was keeping him so busy.

can i say i love my kimono with my hikizuri!!!

;P

Next time will be a post about  geishas. for those who  are not so familiar with.

And next time will be pictures of the next release at the Ancient Tree...

Tomesode kimonos...



 Sayonara!

So, how was it?

Yes yes, i know i will hear it a lot in the next days!!

Sorry american fellow for the odd hour for you ;)  Maybe next time!

So, europe is populated enough apparently, it was a great success!!!

I think our occidental friends were very impressed by the amazing performance delivered by the hosoi geishas and everyone!!!

 I must thank them:
Geiko masumi Manamiko who took care of everything, reallly, everything!! She was accompanied  at the shamisen by Okaasan Toshiha Magic, who is also my valuable associate, taking good care of the Zashiki-gi branch of the Ancient Tree Shop! Dancing with them, Maiko StarMoon Yakubu and Maiko Josiane Llewellyn!!!!

Also my models, the girls: Emlies Xeltentat,  Shocoon Verwood and Eluna Baramm.
Emlies took care of the modeling part with great professionalism  and gave me more than i was expecting! I warmly recommand her for all your fashion needs!

and the mens: Kwatsu kamachi, Nicau Laville and Andreas Barrowstone.  All of them were wonderful!


A special Thanks to Kwatsu Kamachi, a great friend above everything, who can deal with my  fashion show nevrosis and never give up on me! he also helped me a lot with everything.

Thanks to the fighters, Kwatsu, Nicau and Ocean  Neuman.  Thanks to Daddio for his help and making sure all the girls in the place had their panties on!

Thanks also to all the staff at Evenementia,  who made this possible.

Heres some quick pictures but i will comeback with much more soon!

Lost my Marble Hunt until June 30!!!

You have a few days left to grab the gifts for the Lost my marble Hunt.

They required a gift somewhat silly.
For men, easy ;) i went with Spaceman Spiff, a hero amongst the best and for the ladies, sadly its not funny...

But hope you like this Cherry Blossom Kimono V.2.

Its a re edition of one of my most popular kimono of all time but with the new sculpted hikizuri instead of the old flexi skirt.

You have to look for a marble, there is a hint giver in each shop!!!

Good luck and have fun!!!

More Mens Kimonos

Here is more Mens Kimonos from The Ancient Tree Kimono Shop. They are all with excellent attention to detail and one easily flows from a formal to a casual attire with ease. "Sensei To Be" anyone? Or perhaps a "Zen Master" in the budding?

Barack In A Kimono

It was impossible to get Barack into a kimono and he kept saying, "I wont look as good as Michelle in a kimono"! Finally, Michelle insisted Barack get into one and here we have Barack in the famous Black Yukata for men from The Ancient Tree Kimono Shops! The wind was heard whispering "The power women have over men"!
