Kess Kreations at Platinum


Hiya! I am Kesseret Steeplechase and I run KessKreations at Platinum. Many people ask me how I come up with a lot of my designs and how I can handle tiny prims without going crazy and I always say, "A little bit of patience and a lot of beer!". I consider myself proud to be part of the Platinum team, as this is a very talented group of people!

Some of my items available at Platinum are:

For the Ladies:





For the Men:









All items metal/gem change with blue dialogue and are very affordable considering they have this feature.

Can't wait to see you at Platinum!!!!

xoxo,
Kesseret S.

Platinum Coffee Shop

The Platinum Coffee Shop is perhaps one of the best known places in Second Life for socialising and making some money. It is also one of the oldest places, now over a year old and still one of the most popular places. Everyone in the Coffee Shop is a customer, we don't condone bots like our competitors for two reasons:

1. We strongly believe in supporting the Second Life economy by giving money to people that need it. It is businesses like Platinum that give Newbies and others money to circulate Linden's back into the economy and allow people to spend this where and as they like. Without businesses like Platinum the economy would suffer and there would be less money for everyone to spend.

2. Using Bots is plainly cheating. It is nothing more than land owners putting their own avatars on to parcels to make it seem like they are more popular than they are. It gives nothing back to the community and breaks TOS given from Linden Lab that states you can only have up to 5 Alternative Accounts.

The Platinum Coffee Shop continues to be one of the most popular places despite having to compete with most of its competitors that use bots.



Platinum Coffee Shop at Dawn.......

When you arrive at the Coffee Shop you should pick a table and seat to sit on and start making friends with the people around you. Not only have some of my oldest customers made some really good friends, a couple of them are getting married in-world!

Enjoy!

PLATINUM AFRICA OPENS!





*** PRESS RELEASE ***



Thursday July 3rd Rebecca Vacano announces that Platinum Africa, the newest Company and sim to be formed by the Platinum Family has offically opened.



Vacano said "Platinum Africa has been introduced to Second Life, to fill the gap of hundreds of people Globally wanting a choice in the colour of their avatar skins - for some time now we have had a range of colours of skins at our main sim, Platinum World, but due to popular demand we decided to create a specialist Skin & Shape sim, primarily focussing on coloured Skins and Shapes. Platinum now is formed of three businesses:



Platinum World - The main universal sim with a full range of fashion and avatar products

Platinum Asia - A specialist sim focussed on Asian fashion and avatar products

Platinum Africa - A specialist sim focussed on coloured and African fashion and avatar products



Platinum strives to be as diverse and universal as it can within Second Life and our latest additional to the family, Platinum Africa builds on this diversity and dream that every avatar within Second Life should be given the best quality and choice possible at the most reasonable prices. I hope you enjoy what we have created and look forward to your feedback"

Platinum now stocks it's own Men's Skins!

They are here. A little bit later than advertised (*doofus smiles sheepishly*) but hopefully well worth the wait.
The first of the male skins are now available at Platinum Men.

This release contains 4 skin tones each with 6 facial hair styles all available with or without hair on the scalp. There are a lot more skin tones to come, consistent with the large range we have available for women which comprises 18 different tones.

These skins have been made with the same care and attention to detail that was lavished on the female range, again 100% hand painted and made to the same philosophy to make them as versatile as possible. I hope to add some more facial hair styles to the range in the future, but next on my priority list is continuing this range into the full set of skin tones.

Here are a few shots of some of the details on these new skins.
I am sure you will like them, and apologies for the delay. :)

New Shapes by Platinum!

Launched today is the new Platinum Shape Range! I am very excited as these shapes are the best that Platinum has ever sold, I have spent a lot of time refining the old editions as well as creating new ones. The shapes are both sexy and classy and they have been tried with lots of skin variations so they work with lots of skin designers!

But best of all....... They are all completely modifiable! I still don't understand why some shape designers don't offer their shapes as modifiable. An example of this is Tracey Sassoon at Alady, she mentions she doesn't sell modifiable shapes as its because people copy shapes..... But how annoying is it when you cannot tweak your shape or adjust it to fit hair or clothes. When you buy a shape its a starting point to mould to how you want it! In my view, buying shapes that are not modifiable is a complete waste of time and money. My partner Kira Paderborn at Platinum believes the same thing and all her shapes are modifiable too!

So here are a few samples of the new shapes and enjoy!




Kelly is the perfect shape for a supermodel or escort! Beautifully crafted and one of the sexiest shapes in Second Life!




Abi is an old classic at Platinum - we have given Abi a make-over and she is even more high class than before, just look at those face lines and the definition of the shape!




Cara is the girl next door - beautiful but an understated sexiness that Guy's will go wild for!
