After working so hard to finish our new range of female skins and a bunch of new shapes to go with, we've been relaxing a little in the past couple of days. Today we visited the
Mao region that has a replica of the Great Wall of China filling much of an OpenSpace sim (Dru and I wondered if the Lindens' plan changes for these will deprive Second Life of another great sim). Stretching around the sim, this was a great way to relax and just roam, and with Brian Eno ambient music playing on my Winamp, I was really chilled out. The wall itself is for sale at a whopping $95,000L, which is out of my price range, but its certainly a sight to behold. Check it out!
I said several posts back that we wouldn't be releasing anything else of note before our big mystery project, but then we went and put out the "Madame de Pompadour" skin range. The amount of girls visiting Zanzo has shot up, so we've brought forward some of our female-oriented projects. Not sure what has caused the sudden influx - possibly because of popular satellite stores at Juicy Bella Plaza (now moved to Juicy Del Mar, with the Lindens' plan changes killing off another great sim) and Horst von Starlustinberg, or because of our exposure in Vain Inc., or maybe me fiddling around with keywords in our classifieds constantly. Anyway, at first Zanzo was almost 100% for guys, male visitors and male goods, but little by little we've introduced stuff for girls and much more is coming (including "Nell Gwynn", companion skins for "Madame de Pompadour", a paler skin tone with other makeup variations). Our "Pink Bubble" t-shirts and jeans have proved to be a massive success, with lots of sales, so we'll be adding more similarly themed stuff there when we get time.
We've added two Lucky Chairs to Zanzo. The main one is near the landing zone, but there is another down by the Sakura trees, opposite the sale stall. Right now, the main one has five offerings and the other has two offerings, but we plan to add more and more stuff as we get time. Included so far are a skin, eye combo, two photoboxes (great for photographs/modeling), and full outfits for guys and girls. Everything in these chairs isn't on sale in the store, so may be worth waiting around for. Here are two examples of whats on offer and what is to come (pardon the squished textures, I had to export them from SL).
Union 82 Palm Beach (long sleeve polo shirt and low-rise damaged jeans)
Scarlett's Mistake (bodice, sculpted dress, sculpted sleeves)
Chibi is here! An adorable standalone range of skins for boys and girls by Zanzo! These are cute, adorabubble skins for young or just generally cutesy avatars.
We're happy to present our first skin range of 2010 at Zanzo!
We have rebuilt the Zanzo main store with a new look that has been under development for over a month now. What do you think?
We're happy to announce our new range for men @ Zanzo!!
We're happy to introduce our new "Harmony" line of skins for females at Zanzo! A lightly tanned skin with beautiful highlighting and details, "Harmony" comes in nine makeup options ranging from a clean naturale look to more adventurous makeups such as the "Kabuki" option. Each pack is priced at L$850 and comes with four lip variations (natural, pink, light red, deep red) or in other words, four skins. Each pack also features tintable eyebrows with three presets (light, dark, brunette) included. We also have an unreleased skin option in a prize chair in the same area. As always, a discounted fatpack is available for anyone who might fall in love with the look and demos are available at our main store. Please come and try 'em on!

Zanzo presents its funkiest skin range yet, the cutielicious "Harajuku Doll" for girls. Inspired by the wild streets of Harajuku, or more specifically the famous Harajuku Girls, this pale skin comes in 15 variations. Each pack also contains a natural "Porcelain" skin for those days where you just don't wanna wear makeup and want the clean look.
Woot! We have a brand new skin range out at Zanzo! We've released a lot of pretty boy skins, so our new set - titled "Frat Boy" - offers a less pristine but still very cute and handsome look for the young adult avatar.
The range offers seven variations: Bare, Freckly, Busted, Eyeliner, Goth, Quarterback, Inked
So a lot of people apparently don't realize that not only can you create your own skies in Second Life now (and have been able to for a while), but there are also some wicked preset ones ("Sheer Surreality" being my favourite). I was messing with the settings and its really cool how much you can do - also useful for photography with the "Scene Gamma" setting, although I find turning off atmospheric shaders is still best for clothing and face shots, as I still can't find the best lighting setting with the full Windlight experience to give the face a non-shadowy or non-staring-at-the-sun appearance. Anyway, experiment with skies! World -> Environment Settings -> Environment Editor -> Advanced Sky
We're working on two - well, three, sort of - skin ranges right now. Coming soon is a stand alone set that we're calling "Frat Boy". We have skins for just about every age group under perhaps 40, and are getting more specific now - we recently released kids ones, and this set will be for the 18-24ish male type who doesn't have very mature features yet. They are looking great, and here is a preview of the base skin on a new shape I've made. We still plan to add a few details to the skin (and fix the slight nipple problem), but this is a good idea of how it'll look - sort of a bridge skin between boyish teen and mature adult, we think.
