A few weeks ago I released my men's beach shoes: Finz, Reef Rider and Mavericks. I took my usual care with the shape and the textures, but priced them well below my leather shoes. They didn't sell very well, and I think I know why. In RL, shoes like these, a sort of cross between crocs, jellies and flip-flops, would be dirt cheap, since they'd be mass-produced in China. Rather than think the design is at fault, I prefer to believe that there is an expectation carried over from RL, that this kind of footwear should also be dirt cheap, regardless of the time spent making them. It is with great excitement therefore, that I proudly announce that from this time forth, Finz, Reef Rider and Mavericks, will be on SALE for L50.

Beach shoes on SALE !!!
A few weeks ago I released my men's beach shoes: Finz, Reef Rider and Mavericks. I took my usual care with the shape and the textures, but priced them well below my leather shoes.

Resizer
After much prodding from Ben Vanguard of SL Men, I have finally gone over to using a Resizer. No more preset Small, Medium or Large sizes. Now the end user can decide what is the best size for their shoes: anything from XS to XXL, with fine tuning available. I tried the scripts out on my new men's sandals, Havana, and was very pleased with the results. It's simple to install, with thorough clean up and an easy-to-use Menu, and I shall be using this tool from now on. As time allows, I will retro-fit this into my earlier shoes, beginning with the ones that only offer 2 sizes.
Copy OK, No Transfer shoe vendor
This is something I should have done a long time ago! I finally got around to placing a Copy OK No Transfer shoe vendor in my Main Store. If you are one of those people who keeps outfits in folders, and don't mind forgoing the option to transfer inventory to others, this is the way to go. Now you can create multiple copies of your favorite shoes. So far the vendor contains Carl Perkins, Dublin, Havana, Kippers, Oslo, Quixote, Scratch, Sebastian, Shanghai and SOMA. Other shoes will be added as I get around to it.

JCS has a new home !!!
La Fortuna 1, 51/48/22
JCS has a new home in the beautiful Costa Rica Estates. I'd like to thank my good friend Giancarlo Takacs for giving me exactly what I needed, and his builder Rawly Rousselot for his excellent eye for detail, in helping me get my store set up in record time. While there is still some work to be done, JCS is open for business and we hope you will come and visit us in our idyllic ocean-side location.

JCS is moving !!!
I have just been notified that the sim where I have my main store is being sold. This news came as quite a shock. Fortunately, one of my good friends has created a tropical paradise, and plans are now in the works for a move to a new region of unsurpassed natural beauty. I just hope that my new store is complete before I am evicted. Stay tuned for more news...
I was just notified that at 5pm on Friday July 25th 2008, my Main Store will be razed to the ground. Hopefully, hopefully, my new location will be ready on Saturday...

Press Release
For IMMEDIATE use. Dateline 06-08-08
In a surprise move that has shaken industry insiders, ashen-faced Eponymous Trenchmouth, taciturn head of JCS - Jeepers Creepers Shoes, announced that over the weekend, prices on all JCS men's and women's shoes have been slashed by $L50, $L100 and even $L150 per pair.
The gray-haired Trenchmouth said, "in these hard economic times, when consumers are faced with rising fuel and food prices, I'm going make darn sure no-one goes barefoot".
JCS also announced that the price of Demos, previously $L1, are now completely free. The tight-lipped Trenchmouth commented "if the citizens of this great land don't mind wearing shoes with DEMO written all over them, they can wear those for free".
The new prices go into effect immediately at the JCS main store and at select outlets.
The steely-eyed Trenchmouth denied rumors that government subsidised prims had any connection with the price cuts. The lantern-jawed CEO said "our prims are the same high quality. You won't find any genetically-modified rubbish in our shoes."
If have any questions, please IM knock-kneed Eponymous Trenchmouth.
