Who Got 1 of the 8...(there's 1 left!)

Ok, so it was a ridiculously short videostream...about 18mins all in all but if you want to watch it again, it'll eventually be up on the channel once it's finished encoding.

But in the meantime, I'll write out the general gist of what I said.
First off the folks who got a suit:
1. Lee the Bee (USA) - Black Velvet
2. Sam (London) - Plain Blue
3. Lycraswede (Sweden) - Lightning
4. Foozle (USA) - Plain Black
5. Gaz (UK) - Navy Blue
6. Zen Tub (UK) - Sparkly Bengal Blue Tiger*
7. Ms Lycra x (London) - Plain, colour not specified
8. Fleur (UK) - X-men Rogue Catsuit.

Now I know you're looking at 6 and 8, thinking "hang on!". Hang on, indeed. I'm a strong believer in "if you don't ask, you don't get"...and Zen Tub asked, straight up, if he could have his suit made in the same fabric as mine (seen in the last video I did suited up). Pretty simple there.

As for Fleur, she's a friend of mine whom I informed of my making suits for people and we've been throwing the idea about a catsuit around for a while. She's got a comicon towards the end of February and she was looking to commission a suit for it. If you've not run a Google to jog your memory, this is the Rogue we're referring to:
It's kinda why I didn't stream yesterday...I went for an intense 1-1 tailoring course just to make sure I had it down right so far as dealing with additional panels is concerned! 
SO! With that in mind, that 8 is technically not a zentai. Which means there's still 1 suit up for grabs. I'm extending the offer of that suit up until 1st February (2359), so have a look at the older posts and send me an e-mail: izentalondon@gmail.com and I'll ping you a confirmation e-mail back.

In addition to that, I've decided I want to make at least 1 suit for myself. I mentioned that I have this deep red theme going on in my new place (deep wine-red carpets...I bought a vacuum cleaner in exactly the same colour...I've got a microwave in exactly the same colour, the walls in my kitchen....are exactly the same colour...yeah) So, I'm going to buy some deep red fabric (might be slightly metallic) and make a suit out of it..I'll probably do a video in it and take some pictures too. 

As for the suits, I'm aiming at 2 suits a week or so, and once suits are finished they'll be showcased on the Sunday via videostream before they're gently packed away and shipped off to their new owners :-)

I was told that livestream wasn't drowning the channel in adverts, but I quite like the video interactivity of Tinychat, so I'm looking into that at the moment and will setup a dedicated page (by way of the menu bar up there *points*) on the site so that it's easier to navigate to. 

Other than that, I think I was rabbiting on about random nonsense for a little then decided to bring it to a close.

Ah it's finished encoding:

The 8 suits (did you get one?)

So, here we are...
I've got the list of folks here...I really hate not being able to do this at home, but c'est la vie.

I'll be broadcasting in a few minutes (9pm remember), hang tight :-)

Livestream Sunday 9pm GMT...

Hello!

So, I've totally forgotten that it's my working weekend this weekend...so I'll be streaming from work. Not glamorous (and not suited, unfortunately) I know...but these things happen (especially when I forget to look at my shift schedule).

Anyway! it's still 9pm and I'll post up another post with a livestream channel in it, but if you want to bookmark it then here's the link:

www.livestream.com/izentai

If you still want a suit, there's still time. Send me an email: izentailondon@gmail.com with the info I asked for in the previous post, and I'll reply as soon as I can (quite quickly as I've now synced it to my phone...yay!)

I've had a progressive idea for the videos to come, so I'll probably explain a bit more of that in the livestream tomorrow.

In the meantime I hope everyone's having fun doing whatever they're doing this weekend!

iZ.

29 days, 2012: The run down...

Ok, so I've had to reel some things in and taken loads on board from fellow Zentaists on the Ayus zentai/lycra forum e-mails sent and speaking with my mum.

If I was freelancing, doing a suit a day (or 2 suits a day) would be a doddle! But I still have my job which runs from 2pm till 10.30pm 5 days a week, so I can't quite do the 29 suits I wanted to. As awesome as it would have been!

So! I've boiled it down to 8 suits for the month. Yes, a HUGE reduction I know but I still want this to be fun (not just for me but for you too!) and not turn into a "chore". It's still open to all you lovely people and you now have a choice of either plain colours or patterns. I know price is something everyone's been fretting over so here they are: £40 for a plain coloured zentai, £70 for a patterned zentai (incl. the black velvet). If you're based in the UK then that includes Postage and such. If you're overseas, we'll have to have a chat and see what options can be worked out.

The colour choices are pretty flexible. It's easier with standard colours: Blue, Green, Red, Black, White. if you select a plain colour that's a bit "in between" then I'll certainly try my best to get lycra that's as close to the colour you've asked for. Pattern choices are still the 3 shown in the previous post and of course the super stretch black velvet. There's no limitation to who picks what (I noticed some options were more popular than others! So making 3 velvet suits is ok), it's totally down to you!

Another recap is on the zipper options:
1. Inner leg seam (running from the inner left leg, to the crotch, down the inner right leg)
2. Lower back to head (typical zentai zip position)
3. Male/female zip to head (like 2, but extends from the front (navel for men) through the crotch to the back of your head)
4. Lower back zip to face (via crotch up to the forehead)

Also remember all hoods are full hoods, no eye-holes :-)

Yeah yeah yeah, but how do I get one!

Initially I was going to find a plug-in to use in the next post for you guys to enter your e-mail address in, you'd be given a number and a random number generator would spew out 8 numbers. But a quick chat tonight with a fellow zentaist (the one who actually challenged me to do my 28 days initially!) suggested something different that I quite like! So!!!

YOU need to SEND ME AN E-MAIL from an e-mail address that you will check regularly (communication is important here if you're selected and I'm making you a suit). And this e-mail must contain the following:

1. Plain (select colour) or Pattern (Velvet, Red Leopard, Lightning, Pin-Stripe)
2. Male or Female
3. Small, Medium, Large, X-Large (sizing chart at the end of the post)
4. Zip Option (1, 2, 3, 4)
5. Location (UK, EU, RoW)
6. Payment option (Paypal is easiest, but I'm open to sensible suggestions)

• Send a message with the above to: iZentailondon [at] gmail [dot] com
• I'll then send you an e-mail back with a number. PLEASE KEEP THIS E-MAIL (and remember your number).
• On the 28th January at 9pm GMT, I'll be streaming live from my livestream channel and do an old school raffle announcement (i.e. write numbers out on paper, scrunch them into a hat, give them a mix up, then pull out numbers at random) of the 8 suits. A confirmation e-mail will also be sent out to those whose number was selected.
• Suits will be made in order of the announcement. I'm aiming at making 2 suits a week (though one week this might be skewed as I'll be in Germany) and you'll get an e-mail when I've started your suit with an ETA (postage times pending)!

Phew! I think that's everything...This is the first time I've ever done anything like this (ever!) so if I've missed out something glaringly obvious do point it out!! I've chosen livestream over tinychat because it saves recordings to the channel, so if folks want to watch it again when I'm offline it's there for you whenever :-)

OH, by the way!! You guys (and gals) TOTALLY have to take pictures of your sexy selves in them and send me a copy, I'll up them on here (or not, but I'd like a copy anyway)...or if you're in London we can arrange a walkabout at the end of the month ^_^...

It's all a bit exciting, isn't it?! Woohoo!!!

DON'T FORGET TO E-MAIL IF YOU WANT IN!! (the e-mail isn't normally set up to avoid spambots from sniffing it out. I hate spam, just change the [at] to @ and [dot] to . ) iZentailondon [at] gmail [dot] com
