Platinum sponsors SL London Fashion Week!

***PRESS RELEASE***

Platinum's Rebecca Vacano today announces that Platinum has sponsored SL London Fashion week 2008, along side the Real Life London newspaper the Evening Standard.

This worthwhile event brings together the best fashion and avatar items available in Second Life. Not only has the event been a huge success, it has highlighted the talent in fashion currently in Second Life. It also sets the benchmark for SL / RL cooperation in bridging the gap between bringing talented RL people into Second Life and further supporting the growth of Linden Lab's goal of utilising Second Life for promoting and communicating SL and RL business's.

Platinum is aligned with this strategy and wishes all the designers, models and organisers the best of luck with the show! Also a special thank you to Debs Regent for her inspiration and ongoing determination to create a virtual London community at the London sims.

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.

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!

New Skins at Platinum!

We have a new special skin collection at Platinum Women by Charlotte Morellet. Charlotte is extremely well known within Second life as the owner of Soda Skins. Kira Paderborn our resident Shape expert has teamed up with Charlotte to create some of the best avatar collections in Second Life.

The new shapes and skins are located in the entrance hall of the Womens Store at Platinum World.

As always, let me know what you think!

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"
