For all you Leaders!

Hello Everyone,

Almost forgot to update you guys on what I released last night lol.

Well here goes:

Leader - Rock star inspired---looks militant almost--i dig it. It says empowering yet punkish.

Sense - I would love to own a top like this in rl...cut in a flattering way and simple yet interesting contrasts in color.

RPD IS BAAAAAAAAAAAACK.

Hellos Everyone,

Some of you might have not even noticed that I left the building, and some of you might have. RL was upon me with some crazy changes and I had to put SL on hold...which to be honest I'm glad I had to.

OK but I am back and I had an idea for this cute pink outfit and you can call it the reason that sparked my return. It is called "Bubbly" Obviously the dotted madness lends to that name. I love the sweater vest worn alone with those cutie shorts :)

The second one is called "JailBait"...and the top and bottom portions are held together by 4 sets of handcuffs..I dunno but i thought it was kind of neat lol.

I have put all my stuff back on SLexchange. I didn't realize i had reached 500 items..yay go me!

These 2 are on right side of New wall at Rising Phoenix Designs (RPD) and on slexchange

2 New @ RPD

Hello Mah peeps

Kind of glad fall is coming back cause I missed my dark colors lol. I am a New Yorker afterall :)

2) The One - Somethin for the boys...a bulky sweater for those cold autumn SL days, cuffs on bottom of slacks..the outfit is casual but not bummy..yay :)

RPD - Dark Casuals for Boys & Girls

Maybe I was in a mood I don't know...or maybe its the fact that the colder weather is coming...but I hav ea dark but not really goth release for everyone.

Confront - I definitely love the colors in this one...they are subtle but work great. The tops run on separate layers so you can mix match your look.

Sorrow - The colors are dark greenish and i wanted to see how something more lacey would turn out on a fun shaped top.

Endanger - Asymmetrical Criss Cross on the chest...the pants just didn't look right with more black or jeans..i thought these gray green slacks looked good instead.

RPD - I Care Tops

The last knit tops i oould recall was the "Who Cares" tops....and so when i made this top i decided to be cute and answer my own question.

RPD - Something Artsy

Hey Everyone,

I had in my head something like a vintage snake top...and I was happy when it actually turned out to look that way lol. I accompanied with shorts, fishnet gloves and knee warmers (just something that popped into my head too *shrug*) I think it is a way fun look, while also being sexy and punk.

The tops are called "Lips" and I had seen a few tops in real life with just a mouth and as I was drawing I decided to add that look to a top. So yes..the lips were drawn by me, when the avatar breaths it also gives that illusion that the lips are exhaling..it makes me happy :)

Goth Wannabe @ RPD

Hey all,

I call it Goth wannabe cause the style has elements of goth like a corsette for a top or something sinister like spiderwebs but girls who usually dig more casual clothing can wear it :)

The following are

1)Pain Outfits - Corsette over slacks and covered in stripes gives it almost a gothish executive look
2) Crawly - Body suit covered in broken spiderwebs :)

Hawtness @ RPD

Clubbers and Gothers:

I am loving the sunray black clubtop over the wild leopard skirt--this one is called "Star Stuff" The shape of the skirt makes me happies :)

Next to it is the fun shaped "Impossible" outfit, I dig the diamond shape showing the bellybutton.

Due to popular demand, I recolored the willow tops in red and black. The sleeves cascade nicely and the back is almost entirely open, quite gorgeous. If you were curious the pants i wore them with are "holla" pants.'

RPD - Faith outfit for Defiant Line

Hi Everyone,

Didn't expect to do another for this line but when i was on my 4th piece of jewelry i thought maybe i should include it lol.

Yes what I think is cool about this outfit other than the ability to mix match tops or give it a shorts look is the 3 bracelets, choker and beads over skirt.

In case your wondering what is the pattern on the tie--its a spiderweb..which was also on the jacket that I added.

All my defiant stuff is not real cheap but for all the pieces you get I think its fairly priced.

Wanted to give a thank you to Aspire for blogging me so nicely, I was pleasantly surprised :)

This outfit is on Illusion and SLEX.

Swimmies @ RPD!!!!

I only made a few swimsuits in my entire SL career--maybe at 4 and I def know that one was discontinued lol...so ...in an attempt to make that area a little beefier..I started with these

Love love love the retro ones (striped) they are simply so cute with their little matching belt.

Bonita is a little more sensible with its monochromatic flowers but cute nonetheless :D

All these at Illusion and will be on SLEX too.

Plaid Plaid Plaid!!!!

Hello Everyone,

Back from my mini vaca....and felt like I was in a darker mood--well at least in terms of clothing :p

The first one is called "Charge" and I love it for its colors--plus binding things is always fun...skirt is mod. The blue shirt is deceiving--when looked at it does have a light texture to it..

The next one is "Not in the mood"--hopefully your men won't have to hear you utter these words..but if u wanna look hot while doing it anyway this might be for you :)

The tank and undershirt are separate, the shorts can be worn alone without the skirt as well. Flex Prim Skirt is mod.

RPD - Urlil Anime SCULPT Outfit!! (Defiant Line!)

Some of us may know that I created a line a while back called Defiant...the purpose of the line was to step outside of any fashion trends andmake something that was particularly challenging for me..

Urlil Nerd --who is my BFF lol...showed me some anime pics of what she wanted..and well I can't deny my nerdy <3 style="font-style: italic;">Urlil' Anime came out to be something fighter pilot-ish. Love it tho!

Sculpt prims - pockets, scarf, arms and legs. ALL prims are modify and so are the pants which are partially corrective.

Yummy Yummy Stuffs @ RPD

Hi Hi everyone,

Few things for today
1) Trinket Outfit - I used a "system skirt" cause apparently thats what they call them (Sasy from appearance mode filled me in on that the other day lol) I usually call it template skirt but there u go. Not enough of them in the SL world in mah opinion
2)Sick Outfit - I think i intended for this to look sicker than what i wanted it to but u know i name these things before they are even finished so its kinda funny when i get the outcome----or i may have been sick that day--i dont even remember...ill go with the latter :D *cough*
3) Good Feeling - Well I think i got the names of these spot on!!! These Rock My SL Naughty Gurl Socks!! Really flows nicely for me, cut is great and nice and vivid.

Hotness for Boyz and Gurls

Hello All,

Won't take long to notice that first outfit is a bit on the naughty side...its called "Dense"---not quite sure why I named it that to be completely honest but there you go lol. The bows on her legs are made of primmies and the strings flex (mod). Skirt is flex as well (mod).

Second is the "Gracious" top--scrunchy stretchy like around the bust and can be worn with or without the flex skirt.

Third is the Jealous tops (UNISEX) i made primarily for the boys. Something not so boring and stylish and yet still masculine :) 2 toned and 2 patterned short sleeve..jacket layer

Retro Day

I declare me a day :) Wasn't really even trying to go for a retro theme with these tops but it just sort of came out that way lol.

Happy with todays release, the eggs bandana i made at hair fair got some compliments so i toyed with the pattern some more. The other top is called "Cuddles" and is just so uber cutey in my opinion.

The Queen of Hearts was inspired by the creepiest story ever--Alice in Wonderland...I may toy around with making more Alice themed items but we'll sees!

RPD - Wig Out "Jules" Hair

Hi Hi All,

Hello All,

Today I'm releasing two wigs, yes both have the same funkay bangs but i thought the back could look cute either way, and i think i was right :) :)

Samantha is prolly my favorite though cause its a long flexy pony, and I'm a sucker for long hair....i think we gathered by now..but looks so good when you put on your high boots and short shorts lol.

For me Sammy has a more romantic interpretation with the curls and so I like it more with some of my goth outfits

Named after two girls in my group--each recieving a princess pack for free!

1) Asunder - I love way wrap around came out..i think its cuute. :)
2) Open Top - I am liking this summers black and white flowery trend---i could really go overboard with this theme since I'm such a NY gal and live in black lol.
3) Treasure - 3 Outfits, i love these colors, dont be fooled cause the back of that shirt is tiny and the black parts are only cupping the breast area.

The Gallery - Rise of The Phoenix Review

So in March Demoness Pharaoh from The Gallery orchestrated a fashion show for me which ended up being really awesome. So you may wonder why am I writing about this now??? My reasons are...

1) I couldn't have been happier with the show--it was so well organized that I just want to tell anyone who is interested in ever having a show, that The Gallery will do an amazing job for you. They are well organized, they think a lot of details out and work intimately with the designer to execute their vision the right way. Not giving props to these people would just be wrong.

2) Events like hair fair, clothing fair and numerous computer problems as well as trying to get some cute pictures all delayed my review.

3) Thinking about it now (weeks later)....I always think.."my god..that was so awesome and i had so much FUN!" That is a testament to how well this was all done in my opinion.

About 56 people showed up, including some of my friends like Rebel Hope & RH Engel waving their I love Ariel flags in the air..how embarrassing but of course i love 'em for coming.

The models looked really amazing going down the runway..and what they did that i just loved (although i will admit at first i was a little skeptical) was move around when they hit the end of the catwalk in tasteful dance motions. What i also just LOVED was the descriptions of the outfits..holy mother...

..The models were allowed to submit thoughts on how they felt about the outfit and together with some stringent editing they sounded so professional and eloquent. I couldn't have been happier. I also found it amazing how pieces that I made could be described in so much detail and with such a fresh perspective. I really grew a lot of respect for this team. The models themselves looked so hot and combined with the MC's narration it really made for an entertaining show.

Below is a picture of friend and model Fleur..looking all fabulous in her creep outfit :)

Demoness was also wise enough to also make a contest for best dressed and so the audience felt like they were participating in the show as well.

Here is Willow looking all seesssy in her "Have you Been a Good Boy" outfit. All the models mingled after the fashion show with the guests. It was totally cool cause people could further see some of these outfits in "real time" while they talked and danced.

Anastase Rosewood, Editor and Chief of Aspire showed up and blessed us with her presence. She is one cool chick and i had a lot of fun getting to know her. A special thanks to her for coming that day and for providing these pictures :D As you can see she is not shy about getting down on the dance floor :p

After everything I felt that I made some lovely friends with everyone from The Gallery and with guests who came to the party.

I am not an easy girl to please for many anal-OCD like reasons..but i had no complaints and was just pleased with how hard everyone worked hard to elevate RPD.

**Outfits are available at Illusion, RPD (Rising Phoenix Designs) and some also at a booth at The Gallery.

Looks can be deceiving :p

So its weird cause the first outfit was meant to be casual and the second outfit was meant to be really goth and yet they somehow ended up in the middle with features from both *shrug* Oh well lol.

1) Crushing on You - was meant to be sweet and in a way it is except those leather overalls look a bit butcher like..and u gotta wonder why she is wearing that on a first date o.O. Tis my favorite for today anyway :D

2) Wretched - Nothing really wretched here but i still cant see a casual girl wearing a mesh skirt over shorts..its just not gonna happen

3) Not Casual - With all the naming confusion i just decided to go with the basics lol....See through underwear..cannot go wrong

All three available now on Illusion, Rising Phoenix Designs....will be available on SLEX

2 New - Introducing Bad Kitty Productions

Hallo Everyone,

Recently I have been getting into wearing kitty ears and tails and so Bryce and I began talking about a Neko line.

Together we came up with Bad Kitty Productions, and we will be making clothing, ears/tails etc to fulfill all your neko needs..although this is our aim..the clothes can be worn normally--they will be cute or sexy, which is the feline way :)

For right now they will be at RPD's new release wall until we allot a space for Bad Kitty Productions. :) I will also post these on SLEX.

Mandy Hair :)

Hi everyone,

After hair fair I became very inspired by everyones art to step things up a notch...I'm hoping to be pretty creative in the area of hair as i have been with clothing. This is a challenge for me because i'm really simple in real life about how i keep my hair (combed will do sometimes) lol, but I think I can do it. :) I think I will always lean to realistic styles but we'll see how I expand from here onward.

Available at Illusion, I'll set up a princess pack on SLEX :) ty!

RPD - 3 New

Hi all,

I was in the mood for black and white again....and also for showcasing my new favorite hairs..The following are from Artilleri, ETD and Rita Groshomme....just showcases some of the cool sh*t i found at the hair fair..there is so much more it can make one crazy!

The first one is meant to be sort of refereeish
The second outfit "checked out" has a somewhat goth punk skirt going on but it didnt qualify as a goth outfit for me
The third is "habitual" which is more sensible but that skirt is just so cute in my opinion..

All will be on Illusion and SLEX

Zoey Hair by RPD

Hey All,

I know its been a long long while since i made hair...but my computer is healthy now and so i will have a chance to continue making gorgeous locks :D

Zoey hair was named after RPD member Zoey Corleone. Its very wavy, almost has a wet/gelled look and the front bangs are pulled back with a small barret..demo is available at the Wig Out store!

Creep Outfit launches RPD's New "Defiant" Line

Hey All,

I know your all not used to probably seeing me make such a production with my clothing, at least artwise..but when I made this outfit I had done a little soul searching and realized that often I can be a bit formulaic about the things I create generally for the masses because it's perhaps whats expected of me. I wanted an excuse do something outside of the box and defy even my own expectations, something real challenging and liberating. So "Defiant" seemed appropriate..the background for this line will also be different from my normal screenshots, just for funs :D

So "Creep" is made up of 5 pieces, the prim skirt is MOD, the whole outfit is also transferable. The shoes were bought at Shiny Things, these Oxfords are simply awesome..when you zoom out they are flawless and they are so compatible with so much of my inventory. I loved them so much I raved to Fallingwater for the 1000th time about what a genius she is. Fallingwater was also gracious enough to post "Creep" at her store with the shoes. If you haven't checked her out yet..you must!!

Creep can be found at Illusion, Shiny Things and later on when maintenance is done on SLEX.

For Ma' School Girlz

Hey all,

I was in mood to make something youthful for most part yesterday so I whipped up the followings
1) teachers pet - Plaid Cosette and Flex Mini
2) Take Your Seats - Supposed to look like a teachers outfit but i couldn't find smart glasses in my inventory lol
3) webbie - For some reason this has a school girl feel to me, very youthful, sexy yet innocent type thing..
4) statik top - Just something i wanted to see in blue and brown :)

All of these are on Illusion and will be posted on SLEX

TY all!

Since SL is being all wonky i decided to keep the release a little small today :)

But that doesn't mean it inst a nice one anyway lol. Lucid dress is very light and whimsical when worn..i kept the shorts long because it really looks a lot better when u move around with it, the skirt is MOD and flex.

The deviled denim tops are pretty neat in my opinion..as usual denim usually causes me to give it some extra attention and i feel i made it look pretty believable. I'm happy with the end result :D

SUPER SPORTY SEXYNESS :D

Ever since Jellybean Madison noted that there was a cheerleader/bowling shirt trend..i got freaky with racer girl outfits as well as baseball uniforms :D

The Vroom outfit is just plain ol rockin

Lets Play are the semi cute semi sexy baseball ones

Road Girl is another racing option in the case you prefer the long pants look..although there is an enticing cut around the butt

I hope you girls like cause i sure do

Clothes for Girlies, Hair for Boys :)

Hey all,

I am a bit valentines inspired so I started making intimates that would be appropriate for the upcoming holiday.
1) Snuggle - Cute pj's peppered with hearts and all that good stuff
2) Giftwrap - If you want to present yourself as a valentines day gift it is now possible to do so with this outfit :)
3) Cut top - A request from a customer. This is the brat squad top without the lettering and available for 60L.
4) Dariath Hair - Named after RPD member Dariath Ayres, he requested that the boys have a long down-do. I met quite a few challenges when making this hair..particularly it was hard to sculpt something that would not immediately get cut off by the male model's massive figure...Although in certain poses this is the case, the hair flows plenty for when you move around. You can try the demo at Wig Out.

All items available at Illusion and on the SLEX website.

Hope you all like :)

Join the Brat Squad!

Hey all,

I simply treasure the first outfit "Brat Squad". I've had such a thing for pink and black lately.i want to see it everywhere :p And since im a big brat, im creating my own special group of brats....and have even converted the role name in my RPD group to accomodate this recent transition to bratdom. With that said..the outfit is simply hot :)

Boom - I was going for something ironic here..super innocent mixed with deadliness :D

Dotty - I just thought i should give something to the ones who are a bit more conservative and have no tendency of wanting to blow things up or aren't really into tantrum throwing :)

I hope you all like :D

NEW WIG OUT & 2 NEW WIGS!

Hello everyone,

I know its been sooo long since I released hair, but this is why. Wig Out was facing quite a few problems from the designers perspective. First, the packaging was non-uniform. I had been creating hair a little while longer than my partners and had old boards and textures along with all my new creations, so RPD had been sporting this confusing look for a while that was driving me crazy lol. So...that leads me to list of changes.

Packages - after some thought and observation we agreed that packs were much better than singles, for both the designer and for the consumer. More bang for the buck..185 for 4 hair colors. Demo and Prince/Princess pack is also available
8 New textures - We came up with a few new textures..my favorites are the new blues...they are really neat :D All hair was retextured at Wig Out and you can note them on the pic above (thumbnails on the bottom)..RPD favorites such as "Genies Rage" and "Hot Stuff"
Resizable wigs - Some of my later wigs had the problem where you couldnt shrink it, but now thats been changed and now you can fit your wigs to a smaller size if you need to.
New products - Although I released some hair, I encourage you to check out Bryce's expanding area of hair..Bryce has made some serious progress in expanding the selection of Men's hair. She definately has done some great work for you boys :D

2007-01-18T09:02:00.000-05:00

Stripe Mood!

Hey all, I bring you a very stripey release..
1) Going Down - I chose a woven look for the pants and i like the almost militant look on the shirt
2) Kool Kat - These colors always remind me of Katja Marlowe for some reason so I went with it. Originally I had this on a casual background but changed my mind and decided it was a bit wannabe goth..very tame for the goth look but I cant imagine a gap model wearing this.
3) Imagination Running--A sort of minivested plaid top, with the cuuutest buttons if u ask me..a nice belly showoff outfit :)

All of them for 175, now available at Illusion, RPD and also was posted on SLEX

2007-01-11T08:26:00.000-05:00

Oh good lord--finally a release from RPD..well..I had to go through the horror of final projects and all that good stuff in order to come back and make you all look pretty again..but I'm back and I thought this was something worth coming back for..its a formal dress...all prims being Mod, the skirt is flexi of course...and i think the whole design is pretty unique

I have posted it on SLEX and at the in world store on Illusion.

Hope u like :)
