Holy Frop!

Wow, lots of changes.

A while ago, I started toying with the idea of re-branding. Scary thought huh?
I don't really make 'neko' themed items anymore...and it was just time for a change.

So I kept toying with the idea, talked to some people and decided I'd do it, but didn't set myself a time frame to do so...

A few weeks ago, I got notice from Todd, who was the owner of Pretty 'n Punk sim, that he was getting rid of his sim. My initial thought was nuuuuu!
I heart Todd. He has been my inspiration since I met him. Nekorifik and The Pounded Flounder wouldn't exist if it weren't for him. He was brutally honest when I started making things, told me when they sucked, and finally pushed me to start selling things.
My first shop I ever opened was on his sim at PnP, and I moved up from there, bought my own land, opened a shop and then opened The Pounded Flounder Shopping District.

Anyways...after a lot of time of me trying to convince Todd not to leave, because I couldn't imagine not having the PnP sim (I also have lived there in his homes for the last year and a half) We ended up deciding he'd transfer the sim to lil 'ol me.
And thus began the last 2 weeks of hell. *laughs*

I've renamed the sim to Fropville. The name Frop! has an interesting story and I'll try to make it short. A longggg time ago there was a little kitty in SL that means the world to me. I still keep in regular touch with him outside of SL, and he's really my bestest bestest friend *waves to the Nemo Kitty and blows kishes*
We're both a little bit *out there* and anyone that knows me well enough, knows that I just randomly make up words. Hence, the word Frop came, and for the last 2 years, I honestly thought I'd made it up. I recently found out however, that I in fact did NOT create this word. Apparently, Frop is a hallucinogenic drug that you smoke.
LMAO. Either way, it fits the craziness of all of this. So...Frop it. Hehehehe.

So back to what's going to happen now. I'm going to try and keep the PnP sim similar to how it has been for the last 2 or so years. I have been working on rebuilding the mall to try and accommodate all of my renters at the current Flounder, as well as the current renters at PnP.
The homes will stay as well. We do have to rebuild it all at some point, but until the mall phase is complete, I'll leave those alone.

So there's that. My whole big story. A huge thanks to Todd for giving me the opportunity to do this.He's planning on keeping his main shop on the Fropville sim. A huge thanks to Winirose who is planning on staying on at PnP for the time being. She is amazing more than she knows, and I have loved this girl since I met her.
A HUGE HUGE thanks to Annabella. Without her, The Pounded Flounder wouldn't even run or stay standing, and is my bestest lil friend ever. A huge thanks to Fukmi and Amanda for all their help with pulling this all together, and a HUGE thanks to my Lan man for pulling together the project planning that will help the transition go a hell of a lot more smoothly. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone in my soap box speech.

We'll be doing a HUGE opening party, that will tie in to the fashion show we've been planning for a few months. As more information is available, we'll get it to you.

Now for frop sake, I'm out.
*blows kisshes and hands out skittlez*
