We have a new promo!

I have been experiencing some difficulties uploading Going Broke Episode #16.  As soon as I can get it to upload properly I will hit that publish button and you can hear the great interview we had with Kirk Claymore and Maddox Dupont of KMadd.

I wonder though, the last men's episode we did, #3, gave me lots of troubles too... Maybe it's the topic.  Men are just difficult sometimes.

Hope you will be hearing from us soon,

Daphne

P.S. I should be releasing the latest Second Style StyleCast tonight to help with your Daphne and Tamara addiction.

In case you didn't see it live or even if you did, I was interviewed by Paisley Beebe for Tonight Live on SLCN.TV last Sunday.  I had a great time, even after being told we would need to re-record the interview because of technical problems.  So, if you saw it live, the interview on their website is a little different.

Paisley commented on what I was wearing so I blogged about it over at Daphne's Random Thoughts.

Until later,

Daphne

The passing of Ginny Talamasca has left a void in the Second Life community.  As the designer for Last Call, Ginny had a profound influence on fashion throughout SL.  We would like to express our sincere condolences to Ginny's RL and SL families.  Ginny, we're going to miss you!

In Stylecast 8, Tamara and I tackle a controversial topic: What are the best jeans in Second Life?

 

Listen and hear if we mentioned your favorites.  Let us know if there were others we should have looked at.

Back when we were getting ready to begin our podcast this past April,
we set a policy regarding what are called "review copies."  A review
copy is merchandise a designer/builder gives to a reviewer so the
reviewer can critique the merchandise based on more than just a
picture.

Until now, our policy had been that we would not request review
copies.  That policy, however, has to change.  Daphne and I are indeed
going broke doing our research for Going Broke.

When we wrote our original policy, we thought designers and builders
just gave out review copies.  That belief changed when we met
Celebrity Trollop at SLCC.  We thought that if anyone would just be
given review copies, it would be her.  When we asked her how she got
review copies, she said that she just asked for them.

From now on we will ask for review copies when we want to consider a designer/builder for mention on our show.  This does not mean that we will automatically review you on our show.  As we've said before, we only discuss work that is high quality.  If someone's work doesn't meet our standards, we simply won't feature them.

As always, we will inform our audience when we have received review
copies by noting it in the show notes.

1.  Your shape is modifiable.  Try tweaking it yourself before buying one.

2.  Play with the appearance sliders.
3.  If you'd rather leave your shape to the professionals, look for shops with live models, thorough descriptions, or demos.

Tamara and I would like to congratulate our friends Madison Carnot and Corey Akula on their podcast being nominated for a Podcast Award in the Comedy category.

Now we would like to encourage you to vote for them and they would like you to just vote.  To get you to vote Bucket has a contest with some great prizes.  Go to http://www.bucketpodcast.com for contest details or just go to http://www.podcastawards.com and vote for a podcast in any or all categories.

The Podcast Awards ceremony is the Thursday night before the Podcast and New Media Expo in Ontario, CA.  I will be at the conference and Tamara would like to go.  She has started a donation site if you would like to help her get to PME.  The link is on the right sidebar.

I have been trying since yesterday to get Episode 6 out for your listening pleasure.  While it appears on the website for some reason, yet unknown, the feed from Libsyn to the podcatcher of your choice isn't working.  If you need your Going Broke fix or want to find a jewelry store to buy something for yourself, a loved one or your favorite over-stressed podcast host, you can use the player on the website.

If you need something for your MP3 player here are a few recommendations:

SL Under The Radar: http://www.slundertheradar.com
Radar has a different sense of humor and he has a hard time keeping his guests on topic but it's an enjoyable show and if you listen to some of his older episodes you will also get your Daphne and Tamara fix

The Traveling Avatar's Quick and Dirty Tips for a Better Second Life: http:/www.qdnow.com
Will is on a mission to help you find the best in SL and with his short, around 5 minutes each, podcast you can get your tips and be on your way.  I think it will take you all of 2 hours to listen to every show he has put out to date.

And if you want to hear Daphne, and sometimes Tamara, use the creative part of their brains go over to http://podcasting.isfullofcrap.com and listen to the 100 Word Story Weekly Challenge.  I often send in a submission and Tamara does on occasion if the topic moves her.  Also it's hosted by her partner Crap Mariner, but he goes by another name on the show.  If you have an extra minute and a half to listen to something creative and most of the time witty subscribe to 100 Word Stories, I listen in the morning and it starts my day off with a smile.

Hopefully Libsyn will have our feed working soon, we already have Episode 7 planned out, but if you have show ideas please e-mail me or Tamara at the links on the right.

Thanks for your patience,
Daphne

Tamara and I are working away to get another show out this weekend.  We had a lot happen since the last show and we found several new places we want to tell you about.  Just a reminder if you have any comments, suggestions or just want to say 'Hi' call us!!!  Our number is (206) 203-1318.

You can also e-mail us at Daphne.Abernathy@gmail.com or Tamara.Kirshner@gmail.com.  We want to hear from you!

Thanks for listening, links to iTune and our RSS feeds are on the right, please subscribe so you don't miss a show.

It's my Rez Date and I suppose I should have something profound to say.  Well I have tried, but I have nothing.  Looking back at the old photos, I do see that I have changed.  I never thought I looked bad, but I can tell I still had that newbie shine not that long ago.  I hope you like seeing the 'Evolution of Daphne'.  Just know that I have no plans on staying the way I am today, I might be blonde today and Drow tomorrow, I haven't decided.

Tamara and I are working on the next show, we hope to have it out over the weekend.  We will be featuring a few over looked gems we have found while shopping.  We always welcome your ideas and comments, the contact information is in the side bar.

Take care and thank you for listening,

Daphne

Tamara and I have been working hard.  We are taking this time to relax.  Tonight we record our first real episode.  We have a very exciting interview planned and we hope it all goes well.

Hoping to update the website this weekend and have Episode 1 up by Sunday night, Monday at the latest.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Hope to hear from you soon

Okay, the podcast you've all been waiting for (or we hope you've all been waiting for) is about to record Episode One.  This Saturday night, Daphne and I will be talking to HD and Paeoti Pomeray and Astry Mirabeau!  Tune in and listen to what the minds behind HD Custom Cycles, Nymphetamine's, Digital Knickers, and Lil Slurgis have to say!

Ok, I'm working on the podcast and Tamara is rolling around on silk sheets.  There is a problem here.

We should have a promo recorded this week, maybe a little teaser as to our hopes and dreams and plans for the podcast.  Really we might record something so I can play with the software and make sure I can get it out to the public.

Hoping to have Episode 0 out this weekend... or early next week.

-Daphne

Get your minds out of the gutter -- we didn't conceive the podcast on that table!

Tamara and I have been working hard to get everything ready to press record.  We have software (Garageband and Audio Hijack Pro), We have microphones (Woot! I have a Blue Snowball), We have a site to host the podcast, We will soon have graphics and a prettier website, We have plenty of content ideas.  What we need is TIME!  If anyone out there has some spare time they can give us, we would appreciate it.

We are hoping for a launch of late April/early May due to my previously scheduled vacation (I need my Disney fix, damn it!).  But we might have something here before then with any luck.

So back to work for me.

Hope you will 'hear' from us soon,

Daphne
