Hbox Fashion Faire!
Saturday's live performances will be by Takamura Keiko, and REIS Alter
Keiko was featured on MTV, spawned from SL star to RL star! And Reis is making her SL tour before her RL world tour! If you love Bjork, come listen to Reis!

Sunday's performances will be by Linus Radford! and Winston Ackland!
Linus Radford in RL is Randal Prater, a successful singer-songwriter who released his first solo album in March called 'Falling To Pisces.' He previously wrote/recorded three albums with Creeping Myrtle and one with The Pagan States. He came bounding into the SL music scene a year ago, and introduced SL music fans to a brand new type of navel-gazing mope.
Years of writing and recording songs of various pop flavors, Winston Ackland manages to find several voices for his music to match the ones in his head. Often betraying the softer side of angry punk and rock songs, he turns these classics into gentle bossa novas with great success. Elvis Costello said recently that Winston's smooth lounge rendition of Elvis's "Pump It Up" was his all time favorite of any cover of any of his songs.

INTRODUCING KENNETH!
Harajukubox is on the move! We're planning to hold major events every month now! Starting with August(Skin Month, exclusive one-time only skins from a slew of skin designers), and in September(Fashion Month, exclusive one-time only clothes from a slew of clothing designers).
Of course with a the new changes and ambitions we needed a little help! So I'd like to introduce our newest Event Host for HBOX, Kenneth Hrachov! Here's what Ken had to say!
Hello Tharr!
I'm basically coming to all you fellow Hboxer's today to introduce myself as the new host of all your future HBox events.
For those of you who don't already know me my name is Kenneth Hrachov aka. Kenny aka. KenKen. I've been playing second life for about two years now and most of that time you could find me in or around Harajukubox may it be in the old Hara in Odessa Graceful(RIP!! WE LOVEEEE YOUUUU.) or the new super spectacular Harajukubox City and Harajukubox town where I currently reside (Yay!).
As I have grown to love Hbox so much I feel a great urge to bring almost everyone I know to the city to experience it as I have and hopefully growto love it as I have as well which leads to my new position as host.
Using this platform I will do my best to bring the Hbox community closer together through upcoming splendiferous events and try tobring back some of the old faces from Odessa as well as some new ones to form a more tight knit gang of people who will inhabit this wonderful sim.
That said I would like to say I'm really honored I was chosen to be the new host and would like to thank all of the Hbox Admins for this opportunity to relieve a little stress as I know they are very busy people who would really like to be at every single event but GOD PEOPLE, DEY GOT LIVES 2!11!!! hahha, so hopefully that's where I will come in to bridge that little gap.
Over all I'm excited about the upcoming plans we have for HBox andwill be happy to see you all there. I know alot of you I havealready met but if I haven't feel free to say Hi to me I'm a pretty friendly person who does bite but not hard of course :), If you have any questions or suggestions for events feel free to message me in-world or drop me a notecard and I'll be happy torespond as soon as I can.
Yours Trulyyy,
The newest Local pooPoo,
KennethHrachovKennyKenken <3

New Slanted Fox products! Tooshi Roll Shoes!!!
I don't know about you all, but I can't get enough of sneakers. I neeeeed to have em all! I've found so many over a great period of time but no really "chunky" skater shoes that I so fondly remember from my high school days. Thank god Slanted Fox has come out with these sneakers, so fondly named - Tooshi Roll Shoes!!!
These shoes are very inspired by the Pro-Keds Royal Court shoes, utilizing that awesome thick sole and sort of "chubby" look that most skater sneakers sport. They come in the 4 colours shown and even come with a bag of candy to hold, and a scripted piece of candy for your mouth! They are xferable for easy gifting, and if that wasn't enough - they come with a resize script that makes resizing EASY. MOD SHOES? Hell yes!!!! at 250L each why the hell wouldn't you? (I have em all... hee!)

New Products at Hybrid - Harajukubox!
Just writing quickly to show Hybrid's newest creation - Hybrid Jeans! I really like these jeans because not only do they come in colours you actually WANT - each set includes 8 different cut styles, so anyone can have a whole wardrobe of denim for a great price!
500L gets you one set in a colour choice, (choice of black, denim, indigo and dirty) and includes a skinny jean with slouchy cuffs, a skinny jean without cuffs, a boot cut jean, a wide leg/flare style, a cuffed capri, a cropped flare, and a cuffed short! That's a lot of jeans XD!
The other cute thing about them is they come with a mix and match belt choice. A ringed belt, and your choice of cute little keychain charm decorations! I love them O__O
I am guilty of getting them all ^_^;;;

New Hybrid Skins - Archetype Elves!
The skins are sectioned off in tones, each with their own group name. You can buy one colour, 3 like tones in the set, or all colours! Blue is my favorite colour, and when I saw the lovely pale blue of the "Kelpie" skin, I knew that was the one for me.
WOW.. It's super pretty. And the colours fade in and out along the body line, giving it a really soft, almost glowy feel. I am absolutely in love with the ear shape, and the way the blue softly fades towards the tips! The other great thing is you can mix and match the eyes, and horns as you see fit. It's really worth a look for all you fantasy fans!
Skin: Hybrid Archetype Etheral "Kelpie"
Eyes: Hybrid Archetype eyes in Snow Blue
Horns: Hybrid Archetype "Arcane Hermes"
Ears: Hybrid Archetype Etheral "Kelpie"

Happy House opens in Hbox town!
We've been so busy down in the Hbox sims, but we've got good news! A brand new furniture store has claimed it's spot in the sought after Hbox town, and I'm giving everyone first peek!
Happy House is a unique furniture store based on very whimsical and cute (or kawaii!) Japanese designs for very very reasonable prices. They offer just a few products right now, but more are coming out every week! Ever wish you had a typical, small Japanese bathroom? What about a floor chair that looks like toast?? How about happy lamps and nightstands that greet you with a smile? These are just some examples of what Happy House is coming out with!
It also comes in different styles with faces on it!
Come on.. a 3 prim lamp thats THAT cute? for 45 L why wouldn't you?
The dresser is for sale too, and it's only 75 L!
Check it out!
Love, Micah

New Spring Fashions at Slanted Fox!
Soooo because of the big SL blowup and the postponement of our fishing event, (postponed till tomorrow) we at Slanted Fox had some time to finish some of our spring fashions!
First up is what we call the "Onigiri collection" Onigiri - means rice ball in Japanese. And between the brilliant building mind of Riki, and the fantastic comp drawings from one of our friends, Teshi Mikazuki, a brilliant, funky mix & match outfit was born!
The outfit comes your choice, either as a full set, (everything shown, even the cute little rice ball) Or you can mix and match. The skirt, Off the shoulder shirt, Boots, and Hat can all be purchased separately. Everything is detailed to a tee. The boots have chopsticks and a poor rice ball strapped to it! The skirt is heavily layered and very very smart looking, even as you move. It's absolutely a funky take on a classic look.
Also coming soon for this collection is a Jacket to match the skirt - with a cute rice ball design on it, and more!
Riki also put out his gorgeous two-way Spring Yukata, naturally deemed "Yummy Yukata" and trust me.. It's YUMMY.
Visit our store Slanted Fox, in the heart of Harajukubox city, right in the main square, to check these out!

Fishing Tournament at Hbox Town!
Hbox town has that fishing game everyone is so crazy about! Our residents love it so we decided to hold a public fishing tournament! Click on the poster to see more! Fun! Prizes! Lots of L! And our nutty hbox butts to keep you entertained.. :D and trust me - we will.
All the fish are really spectacularly done, prim and sculpty made with moving parts such as blinking eyes and moving fins. Everything from angelfish to koi to the super ultra rare nessie and LOLcatfish!! It's too much fun!
We will be holding two tournaments. One limited tournament where everyone is at level 0. This is a fair tournament for all that even the beginner can enter! We will also have an advanced unlimited tournament for those experienced fishers who have leveled their rods ( whoa that sounds bad ) and want to show off their skills. Tournaments are won by who catches the most fish in the time alloted :D
We can't wait to see you there!

New Store Location! - Cats 'n Neos
Isn't this the Sunday where we turn the clocks ahead? o_O god where has the time gone!
Anyway I'm pleased to announce that one of our most popular marketplace stores has moved on up to a brand new larger store in Hbox! Cats 'n Neos has offered really innovative accessories ever since I've known it, and it still doesn't dissapoint me with the new clothes, hair, and shapes coming out! (oh and be sure to check our her glowing prim eyes.. they are really nice O_O )
C&N is still a newer store - and Hbox is so proud to see them moving up to a new main location with us! So to celebrate I went to the store and picked out an array of goods, made an outfit, and tromped around!
Collar - C&N Kyahkyu collar
Gloves - C&N Desired Revenge Gauntlets
Sign - C&N RE Limit 55
Barely anything in C&N ( save the shapes ) is over 150L. The shirt and skirt set only cost me 100! To find really cute things for low prices is always great, and finding a store that has a lot of variety of things makes me happy too. You can always find something you wanted and didn't even know it! Congrats Cats 'n Neos!
