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 :-)
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:
• 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

Yeah yeah yeah, but how do I get one!

Shift in gears for 2012 (29 Days...Do you want one?)
Woo, lost a hold on a lot of things for a few months there :-/ Also forgot to renew the domain for this site...thankfully dreamhost are awesome and the domains get held for a bit before it's a free-for-all.
*ahem*
So yeah, having a full-time "job" hasn't really been working out and I'm reaching the point where my health starts to go a bit wrong if I stay in the same job. It's happened before and it *wasn't* pretty. I guess I'm a little jealous of people who just put their head down and wait till things get better. How people expect change when they carry on doing exactly the same is beyond me!
I've marked mid-April as my "hand in my notice" D-Day, then I have to work for a month before I can go (yeah it sucks). I've got loads planned before that, one which I think will probably result in many sick days, but it'll be fun and certainly a learning experience:
Yep, in February I want to bash out as many suits as I can without having a nervous breakdown. So a suit a day makes sense. Obviously I won't be working from scratch and these won't be tailored as I won't have time for all that. I'm currently designing Small, Medium, Large and eXtra Large blocks to be cut out of wood (eventually metal if this proves successful) to make the pattern cutting a lot easier. Options will be limited to zipper placement (inner leg seam, lower back to head, male/female zip to head, male/female zip to face (front). All hoods will be full, no eye-holes.
This isn't all being said just because..(well a little), but mainly because I'm putting a feeler out there to see if anyone wants one? 25 suits will be plain coloured (black, white, blue, green, red), 1 smooth black velvet and the last 3 will be in ridiculously funky prints:
Black Super Stretch Smooth Velvet:
Print 1:
Print 2:
Print 3:
If any of you are interested, give me some feedback on what I've written and tell me if I've missed anything out, should explain more about some things and if you want one. I'd need to cover my overheads of sending them out to you and sourcing the fabric (the quality is premium!) but that's not the main focus..I just want you folks to be part of my crazy little world.
Feedback via comment response here or tweet me @iZentaiLondon or send me an e-mail: izentailondon [at] gmail [dot] com
I'll follow up on this in 2 weeks or so with a more concise roll out of how I'm going to avoid a nervous breakdown ^_^
But for now, let's bring in 2012!! (and my turning 26...AAAARRRGGHHHH!!!!!!!)
Silky yummy hugs n stuff!
