Hbox City is getting a facelift!

Man it's been a while!

Hbox City is never content to settle with what's already working... we love excitement! Change! Fashion! Nudity! -- ok maybe not nudity. Oh who am I kidding!

Hbox is under a very special makeover, and in the spirit of spring renewal, we are changing things around! New stores, new products, and a whole new look is underway for everyone to enjoy! In addition to the already fabbbbulous stores, we will have more events, new and wicked live performances (along with our lovely regular performers, who we couldn't live without!), and new ambience. Definitely come down and see the action unfold! It's constantly evolving!

In this light I want to highlight some big changes! NEW STORES! NEW SHOPPING! YAY!

DUCKNIPPLE JOINS THE HBOX CLAN!

I've been buying DN stuff for a LONG while now. I STILL rock Beanster's "space invaders" dress and I totally love it! Her outfits only get better, so we are thrilled as all heck to have her with us!!! Check out her lovely new store!

Some FAB things await you!~

DINGLEBERRY IS HERE!

No, you didn't forget to wipe... it's ok. But we are tickled...brown? to have Dingleberry with us. Caleb Giles and partner bring some fantastic new looks to Hbox, and we think they will take the makeup world by storm!

UM.. have you ever seen more fantastic eye shadows?? I THINK NOT!


MIAU HAUS IS HERE - MEOW BABY!

If you don't know who Posy Trudeau is by now, shame on you!!! She brings a wealth of AWESOMENESS to our little city! I've always been in love with her clothes and style, (She did a special hoodie for the hbox egg hunt that ROCKED!) but when I saw her new "Vans" style shoes I nearly hit the pavement... in a good way.

I WILL TAKE 3 OF EACH PLEASE. OM NOM NOM.

Wicked right? But this is only the START of the new things coming to Hbox. We have some new fashion artists moving in that we can't even reveal yet... but trust me.. it will be epic. Like a huge chocolate chip cookie.. or a really satisfying dump.

Come join us down at Hbox! Pooping is optional!

Landmarks for stores listed -

Dingleberry @ Hbox

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

Please offer Ken a warm welcome! You'll be seeing a lot of him!

Love,

Riki
