Unless you are living under an unfashionably large rock, you'd have heard that the final Black Swan by Rezzable event is approaching fast, set to kick off on the 27th of July until the 17th of August. We've named it Swansong, and set a theme of "Elements - Fire, Water, Earth and Air." Now... I knew that these shows were popular, but it's stunned us at just how overwhelmingly positive the response has been. This is from both by designers wanting to join in, and the public eager to be dazzled. And trust me, we won't be letting anyone down. For this show, we've welcomed back a lot of the wonderful creators that have worked with us on previous events. And I've also been able to use my spooky vampire powers to go head hunting, and boy, you won't believe some of the names that are joining us. Read on after the cut for a sneak preview - of sorts...
What, you wanted me to list some? And spoil the surprise? I don't think so. However, I AM willing to let you try and guess. Here are the clues that will lead you to the names of eight of our Swansong designers. The hints point to the avatar name and their brand. For example, “A morning rest with a wreath of cherry blossoms.” would be the clue for SakuraDawn Lei - Lazy Places. See what I did there? I'm also offering a prize for the first person that posts all 8 answers correctly in the comments section for this, with their full name so I can find you. 1000L right now, and the choice of any two creations once the Swansong opens on the 27th of July. They are all cryptic, but a little bit of lateral thinking should get you there. They are all established names and brands within SL. And the person that the first clue is about rebranded recently, so their hint refers to both their old store name and the new one. So have fun with these, and don't forget that I'm looking for the full avatar name and their brand.
1. The Bible says - in the beginning there was beer, but it recently left.
2. Grab that poison!
3. Fly before you fall for her little locks.
4. Edo smells as sweet this month.
5. Burn money? Nevermore!
6. Find the joy in something you secretly want.
7. A songbird - not a crow - as dark as our sim?
8. A fortified sparkle - drink up!

All torture aside, I look forward to this event truly, madly and deeply. Black Swan events have been the hilight of my time in SL, and I am sad to see that this will be the SwanSong... even though I know it will be a huge and marveous celebration of awesome.
Great artwork Venk :)

If anyone is scratching their head about the more esoteric hints... Ryker Beck's new store Exodi was formerly named Genesis. We are thrilled to announce that Ryker will be creating skins for this event. If her previous releases Eden, Candace and Shiloh have been anything to go by then these are going to be GREAT. Number 4, the amazing June Dion of Bare Rose Tokyo has agreed to take part. I don't think it's any secret that I'm her number one fanboi, and I've been gleeing about it for days. And for number 8 - Brandy is a fortified wine, so those who thought it was a more martial reference were led astray, I'm sorry. (Kinda... heh heh...)
These are just some of the designers joining us. We'll publish a full list in the next few days. And I'm stoked with every single one.
Thank you Winter. :) Was a
Mon, 06/29/2009 - 14:35 — Freyja Nemeth (not verified)Thank you Winter. :) Was a lot of fun, even if the last one we had left (6) took me and Ran until just before we went to bed.
Really looking forward to the show, though I will have to cross my fingers and hope that my laptop and our slow vacation connection will allow us to drop by. How long is it going to be on for, btw? Or is it just the 27th?
OMG Winter this is fab after
