		<description>&quot;When did this become about a 1960&#039;s space program?&quot;

I dunno either. I thought this was about egoists who play with barbies and catfight a lot about pixellated knockoffs of RL clothing.


Can we just get the photosourcers back? They were a lot nicer than this latest wave of juvenile misfits trying to be cool by tearing at each other&#039;s throats in public.

		<description>By the way, someone asked about sculpted jewelry above. Both Lyra Muse and Ginny Talamasca of Last Call have done beautiful sculpted jewel releases just this week. IM me in world if you&#039;re interested in seeing them on someone before you purchase. You can also see several in my latest blog post.

		<description>I beg your pardon; all of you writing under each other&#039;s names in a horrible attempt at slander is very confusing. In any case, Tenshi has not been paid a dime from us, and those of you that choose to attack us before knowing us should be ashamed.

This girl did not blog her own designs. That much is simply put. The PR campaign was mine. I cannot help what Tenshi did after we began passing her items. As for Queen Couture, that cannot be helped either. It was Tenshi&#039;s personal opinion, and since it is over and done with we shall not continue to bring it back up. It is time you stopped playing the blame game and began just letting life continue on. I realize at this point that she is entirely your favorite person to pick on, but you&#039;re all behaving like starving wolves.

If you do not like our items simply do not buy them. We make what we enjoy. That is it.

&quot;Observer&quot;, you plainly have no idea what you are speaking of. Please, next time, keep your thoughts to yourself. I am plenty seasoned in the game of scandal, and you are playing it poorly. I am tired of this already.

Au revoir, dilusion doux.

		<description>Now see the naughty &quot;observer&quot; or at least that is my prime suspect (if not sorry) went and stole my name, bad bad girl. Now I had to create a type pad account so people will know its me, nice dark blue color now :)

The last post by tiffany (in the Grey) is not the real one, of course you could probably tell as the last post is a pitiful soul not believing in Tenshi, accusatory, can&#039;t drop the bitterness and give her a chance kind of post.

While I think it would be nice to see Tenshi branch out into more things its not my place to tell her so. She has to chose the path that she feels will prove that&#039;s shes changed.

Again I am trying to defend Tenshi and say she has changed her spots. I am taking a wait and see approach so not ruling anything out. I do NOT think her apology is hollow and I hope that time and Tenshi will prove me right.

The real Tiff - see dark blue :)

		<description>Well, I think Tenshi needs to back off of the things she&#039;s posting about, and post about new, unrelated items.  Mercury involves her, and even if it didn&#039;t, when her best friend is ashamed to tell her only because of the negative press it will bring them -- well, that&#039;s telling in and of itself.  &quot;I&#039;d tell you, but your reputation is so awful, that it could harm business.&quot;

Tenshi&#039;s apology is hollow.  Just wait.

		<description>Well &quot;observer&quot;, who is too ashamed of herself to even give a fake name has no idea what she is talking about it seems based on a lot of the above posts, and she is also quoting stuff that Tenshi did back in bad days like it was yesterday.

As I originally thought some bitter bitter pitiful souls with no life will never stop bashing Tenshi right out of the gate. You have to feel pity for someone who cannot let go - they are truly worse in dong that than Tenshi was on her worst day. Tenshi knows though I am sure from experience that &quot;observer&quot; anonymous type tags on posts mean that they are basically not worth reading.

Oh and don&#039;t think I&#039;m a Tenshi fan yet, its a wait and see thing, but at least I&#039;m willing to actually wait and see.  I had many a nasty post to Tenshi back in the dark days - you can look if you want - I used my real name each time, not like some.

		<description>Willa,

I sympathize with your position. We&#039;d all like for this debacle to have never happened. To be clear, though - the problem is not with the promotion, it&#039;s with Tenshi&#039;s own claim that that kind of &quot;advertising&quot; is wrong. The fact that her words continue to get her into trouble is her own doing. I do agree that it&#039;s unfortunate and maybe unfair that it happens to involve you and your clothing line. At the same time, Evariel should have known better than to send her a review copy while Tenshi was hotly criticizing another previously fashion review site for blogging their own designs.

If those involved had acted with a little more thoughtfulness, maybe this could have been avoided. Unfortunately, it did happen, and if there continues to be fallout you can only blame the ones involved.

The good news is that gossip is just gossip, and we will buy your creations if we like them. From what I can see, I&#039;ll be one many girls rocking those gorgeous shorts.

		<description>&quot;Minor? Her promoting something she&#039;s got a hand in is minor? Her attacking of another designer for copying Paper Couture&#039;s style and then doing the exact same thing?

Then after &#039;apologizing&#039; (She still has a pretty negative comment in her profile about one of the people she wrote about), she continues with the self promotion.&quot;

I would like to state that Tenshi&#039;s &#039;attack&#039; on Queen of Couture has nothing to do with Mercury&#039;s PR. I have no idea why she dislikes QoC and not Mercury, go ask her. TENSHI IS NOT IN MERCURY, so she is not &quot;attacking another designer for copying Paper Couture&#039;s style and then doing the exact same thing&quot; She&#039;s not doing anything Couture...

Finally- its not self promotion when you aren&#039;t in the clothing co you are promoting (how is that not clear?). And even then- ppl self promote all the time- its called advetising.
