As I'm writing this, the Mer Betta courier is going through the list and checking it twice. A bit late for Christmas, but better late than never.
First, it is sending out the Mer Betta Eddy base pack to all customers from history. Yes, even those of you who own Series 1 and Series 2 tails. I'm sure a number of those people are no longer in SL, but, oh, well.
I've decided to be more generous to Mer Betta collectors who own four or more tails (base packs) from Series 3, Series 4, Series 5, Series Bridal, and Series RFL. They get the base pack with the HUD.
After it's done with that list, it will send out the Mer Betta SkimSurfaceSimple script v2.0 to customers who purchased the script separately or a tail that includes the script. THIS IS AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE. But v1.0 works well with your AO (that is, if your head and shoulders are above water when it is turned on), then you don't need this upgrade. But save it anyway, in case you get a new AO later and you need to adjust the hover height.
This might take me a few days to do, because the service I use to resolve names to UUIDs has a limit per day. So, please be patient.
If you have not received yours after Jan 15, please contact me (Opal Lei).

... swirling ...
... ribbons of clear water ...
Mer Betta™ introduces the "Eddy," the graceful alternative to the water bubble.
I've announced this in the SL group and in the subscribo group, and I had held back on blogging about it, because, well, the HUD had a really hairy bug, so I had to fix that first. My apologies.
Leslie Beaumont was the one who brought my attention to it, when I sent her a sample. At first, I thought it was just a simple problem, but it turned out to be a permissions issue. The basic functionality of the Eddy itself is not affected. It's only when the Eddy communicates with the HUD.
So, the first good version with the HUD is version 1.2. If you're not using the HUD, any of the first two versions would also work fine. If you ARE using the HUD, the Eddy must also be version 1.2.
The Eddy alone (basepack) is on sale for 25L. The Eddy basepack WITH the HUD is 200L.
I'll be sending out the basepack as a gift to Mer Betta customers sometime before end of January. I'll also be sending out the version 2.0 of the SkimSurfaceSimple script. I just need to get through a deadline for the book I'm writing.

RFL Fantasy Faire 2011 is open!
You've waited for it all year and it's finally here! The RFL Fantasy Faire is open from April 2 to 10. Eight sims dedicated to fantasy realms!
The booth
Come and visit the Mer Betta store at the Faire.
The landing point gazebo is just in front with a strip of land connecting it to my S-shaped "dock". It has two levels: above water and underwater. The newer products are all above water with the vendors sprouting out of islands.
The arch on the left leads to a lily pad with some of the broad leaves slowly descending underwater. There's a pair of water tunnels that lead away to the center of the sim.
Ember Farina gave me a preview of the mer sim beforehand and she introduced me to Elicio Ember's work. Elicio is the creator of Cerridwen's Cauldron. The Fantasy Faire crew had used Elicio's work on the mer sim, and he himself designed the sim next door called "Exotic Worlds".
I went back to Elicio's store the next day, bought half the store, and asked him to marry me. He said I actually bought more than half his store. He didn't accept my marriage proposal, but he gave me a couple of products for free to thank me for my shopping spree. So, when I have time again, I'll be redecorating the main Mer Betta store with these goodies.
The products
I already mentioned the new Mer Betta Simplicity mermaid gowns, which I released at the Fashion for Life clothing fair.
I'm also resurrecting the Mer Betta RFL2010-Owain tail and its add-on packs, because I'm told that people are asking about it. If you missed it last year, you'll find it underwater at the Fantasy Faire. It will only be available there, nowhere else, not even at the Mer Betta main store. So, go and grab it this week.
And if you've seen the Mer Betta machinima ad on YouTube or on the MODA Spotlight shows on Treet.TV, the full version of that song, "Mermaid Fantasy" by Capos Calderwood (www.AlexWhitmore.com), is now available for sale.
The piranha jail
On April 5 Tuesday at 7pm SLT / Pacific, I would be jailed in a giant piranha right in front of my store at the faire. *sigh* Please rescue me! All "bail" monies go to the Relay for Life.
I'll be Twittering my "incarceration", so please follow me at http://twitter.com/WildOpalLei.
