A while back, I was invited to a Facebook group. It wasn’t one of your run of the mill Facebook activist-ey types of groups, or those that you join because you support the message or think it’s funny. No, this group was promoting and supporting Acetone Urban Tank Tops, a tank top maker in Second Life.
Now, I don’t suppose it’s all that strange when you think about it. There are a myriad of SL content creators with blogs and the like advertising their products and letting customers know about new product releases, as well as allowing customers to easily provide feedback. As we’ll see, the latter is just as important as the former. 
Anyway, I decided to give the shop a look, and I was really impressed! These aren’t your average tank tops; the texture quality is great, with a lot of very unique and memorable designs.
Left to right: Pelican, Elementary my dear Watson, Crusade, Telepathy, Wingbeat, Tied, Crush.
However, I did spot one problem; her tanktops were only available in the shirt layer! when you like to wear a tattoo on the bra layer like I do, then it’s nice to have bras in the shirt layer and tops in the jacket layer. However, I could live without it for most of these… I mean, it’s nice to be able to wear a bikini top underneath a tank, but I don’t have to. ^.^
However, there was one I absolutely had to have in the jacket layer: a sheer tank with a cross pattern on it called Crosshair. This top just begged to be worn over a bra, and being sheer, would be great for showing off my tattoo! Yes, I could just wear it without the bra, but I find going around everywhere with my nipples showing kinda tasteless.
So, taking advantage of Facebook’s group messaging capabilities (each group essentially gets it’s own message board), and wrote that I liked the tanks, but it would be really nice to have them in the jacket layer.
Well, boy did I get a treat! Not only did she send me a copy of the tank I had previously bought (Wingbeat) in the jacket layer, she also sent me Crosshair in the jacket layer, which I hadn’t bought because of it wasn’t in that layer. These are now available for purchase in her main store in Achlya, if any of my readers are interested. ^.^
Anyway, more on the tanktops. Most are available for a very reasonable 55L, and some are available for only 35L, making them quite affordable as well as being good looking! Crosshair is 110L and comes in three colors; black, white, and red. All her tanks are mod/copy/no transfer, which is excellent if you want to recolor (Like, say, the white crosstop ^.^), but not so good if you want to gift them. I haven’t asked if she’s willing to sell no copy/transfer versions, but as nice as she was with me, it can’t hurt to ask.
Anyway, I suppose the lesson here is that open and obvious lines of communication help keep customers happy! Oh, and Acetone has great tank tops. ^.^
In the tradition of fashion blogs, here’s a rundown of all the items shown in the pictures:
In the first picture, we have tanktops from, of course, Acetone; short jean hotpants from Drawmachine, wood wedge platforms from Shiny Things, tropical bangles from JK Jewelry, and Jenny hair and “warm” bracelets from Here Comes Trouble.
In the second, the Crosshair tank from Acetone, black leather teaser skirt from Ravenwear, black satin lingerie from Style Starts Here, Kit boots in onyx from Jaywalk, Caged V collar in silver from Ephemeral Creations, and buckled arm cuffs from Hexed.
My skin is Venus from Adam n Eve, and my Neko parts are all from Hybrid.
