SHIKI sim grand opening event! DEBUT!!!!!

*** SHIKI - All set for its big DEBUT ***

The SHIKI sim is a revolution in taste led by style gurus who are redefining SL craftsmanship in everything from fashion and furniture to flora and fauna. Some of the best sculpty artisans have set up shop here - including Tesla Miles, Jennifer Hana (Sculptmix), Jon Haskell (Sculpty Creations) and JubJub Forder (tranQuility). As a sim, SHIKI is about stylish surprise, a strenuous attention to detail, and cosmopolitan flair - qualities epitomised by the flagship Shiki brand as well as the Excelsis modelling agency, which has chosen to site its headquarters in the sim.

The designers on board span the globe - Spica, Massimo and Shiki hail from Japan, Baiastice from Italy, Freshwind from Spain, in addition to the Korean-American Millage Valenti, and stalwart American brands like Swafette Firefly's SF Designs, ZHAO Shoes, Role Optic, and Long Awkward Pose.

There are shops which are just sheer fun - the handheld fans of Digital Eyes, AvaUru's naughty-but-oh-so-nice cakes, and the quirky goods available in Cluster and Love Me Tender. Look out too for Niyanbar,our very own Japanese biker bar run by Niyanba Sidappan, and the SHIKI Showcase, a special area in the sim that honours the idiosyncratic vision of designers like 3Star Tyne and Annesa Stine's Kitsch *En Couture.

On Aug 9, the SHIKI sim opens its doors with DEBUT, a rainbowed, marvellous, friendly, wonderful Sim Opening Party. The ChangHigh Trinity Sisters will be kicking off festivities at 6 a.m. SLT with their mesmerizing mix of pyrotechnics, music and movement. Tuna Oddfellow then brings on his psychedelicious Odd Ball from 7 to 9 a.m. SLT, and the party will wind down to the chillout bossa nova sounds of Winston Ackland from 9 to 10 a.m. SLT. Throughout the 4 hours, there'll be a sim-wide katamari treasure hunt with katamaris galore for the finding and keeping, great freebies from the various designers, and a style competition with cash prizes every hour on the hour.
