Happy rez day to me!

Ten years ago today, Antony was born. While not my first avatar in Second Life, Antony was the one I created to go out and look at the more adult side of the grid. What started as a single-purpose alt ended up becoming me, my main avatar, who I was in-world.

And, of course, from Antony came Z&A Productions.

So, as a bit of mini-celebration, I thought I'd heavily discount a product for the next 24 hours.

One of my big kinks is cells. I just love them. The idea of being in one... let's say it works for me. So there's little wonder I've built a few over the years.

My absolute favourites are part of a fatpack that I sell. So, with that in mind, I want to share my favourite kink with everyone else, at what I think is a good price.

Normally the copy/no-trans Custody/Prison fatpack sells for L$3449. So, 10 years on the grid as Antony/Toni... How's about we divide by 10?

Sound fair?

If cells are your thing and you fancy a collection of copy/no-trans cells that have a heavy custody/prison theme about them, now's your chance to go nuts.

You'll find the vendor at the back of the second floor in the main store. Note that this offer is only for 24 hours or so, and is only available in-world.

Enjoy! :)

A Z&A gift over at ~AC

A couple of years back, Raven Park had a dance with a Rocky Horror theme. The costume that Anna made for us, for the dance, went on to become an ~AC product. That one product then turned into a small range, the last addition of which was released by her this weekend.

So, to help celebrate her finishing off that range of products, I thought it was time to drag out a product I've made available as a gift before (the last time at the Raven Park dance).

If you fancy a bit of Rocky Horror RLV role play, head over to Anna's shop and slap the box you'll find in a corner of the main room:

Once done, you should be all set for a night of murdering, cannibalistic, fetishistic, cross-dressing fun!

All under one roof

For many years Z&A's marketplace presence has been split between two "shops". Starting today, that's no longer the case. Every single Z&A product can now be found in one location on the Second Life Marketplace.

The range of products available via the Marketplace has also been expanded. Every product that, before, was available in-world as a copy edition as well as the transfer edition, now has its copy edition also available through the Marketplace.

If you have either of the Z&A MP shops bookmarked, please update to make sure that the correct one is the one you'll always go to.

To celebrate the end of the consolidation process I'll be doing a special offer roughly every day this month (I say "roughly" because sometimes RL can get in the way). Each day a product on the Marketplace (and only on the Marketplace) will be reduced to half price; this will be announced in the "Friend of Z&A" group. When the next product is chosen, the previous one will go to its normal price. That's (hopefully) 29 special offers this month (yes, it is a leap year!).

None of this affects the Z&A main store; it's still there and fully stocked with all of the products available for viewing.

PS: This month is also Z&A's 6th birthday, so expect some more fun to happen later on in the month.

New at the Indulgence BDSM & Kink Fair

As mentioned a couple of weeks back today sees the start of the Indulgence BDSM & Kink Fair. Running all month the fair aims to gather together lots of adult creators in one wonderfully-themed location, each one offering items that are exclusive to the fair, as well as at least one half-price item.

Z&A's contribution is not one but four items that, for the whole of June, are exclusive to the fair. You won't find them in the main store, neither will you find them on the Second Life Marketplace. For now the only place you will find them and be able to buy them is at the Z&A shop at the fair.

This release is a mini range of RLV-enabled patio furniture, designed to allow Dommes to enjoy the Sun while their subs are kept safe and sound, or are used to service them (this new range will also be used to retire the original Z&A garden furniture).

Available are the Z&A Patio Chair, which includes an RLV footstool and an RLV Umbrella:

The Z&A Sun Lounge Cage, which also comes with an RLV Umbrella:

Perfect alongside either of the above is the Z&A Patio Table:

And finally, seating three Dommes and three subs (or as many as you like if you purchase the copy permission version), is the Z&A Patio Table:

Better still, for the duration of the fair, the Patio Table will be available half price, in both transfer and copy versions:

All of the above come with owner menus that allow selecting from a range of woods and, for those that have fabrics in them, a selection from a range of fabrics too. They are also all rezzed out at the fair so you can give them a try before you buy.

Indulgence BDSM & Kink Fair

While fairs are very much all the rage on the grid these days they're something that Z&A has never really been involved in (unless you count the VT Femdom Furniture Fair back in 2011). That will change come June the 1st thanks to this:

Aimed very squarely at Second Life's adult communities, in all the forms and flavours, and with a special emphasis on BDSM and kink in general, there was no way the invitation to take part could be passed up.

For the whole of June there will be a Z&A shop at the fair which, as well as having a good selection of Z&A products, will also contain a new mini-range that will be exclusive to their fair for the duration of the fair. Better still, one item in that range will be 1/2 price for the whole of the fair (including the copy-permission version).

So be sure to mark your calendar, pencil in some time during June to visit the fair and, of course, visit the Z&A shop.

More details will be released closer to the time.

A special offer

As you might imagine, most of the products that Z&A make get used by Antony and his Mistress. Some are in permanent use (Antony wears a Z&A Sub-Focus, a Z&A Sub-HUD and a Z&A Sub-Allowance 24/7) whereas others get occasional use (Raven Park has many Z&A products out for general use, and Vila and Antony's home contains some too, of course).

A firm favourite of Vila's right now is the combination of the Z&A Sub-Allowance and the Z&A Punishment Picker. Since late on last year the rule has been this: Antony gets a top-up for whichever part of his allowance is getting low, whenever he feels he needs it, but he also has to pick an item from the Punishment Picker. This has resulted in sorts of awkward situations for him. Sometimes it works out in his favour, sometimes not. It's all down to what's written in the notecard (which, of course, his Mistress can edit any time she wishes) and the random values that get picked.

Given how much Vila is enjoying this combination it was decided that, until the end of the month, we'd run a special offer on these two products:

So, the idea is, you head down to our main store (or to the marketplace, or to PrimBay, or from one of our affiliates) and buy a Z&A Sub-Allowance. Then take a look at the available Punishment Pickers (you can see them all listed here on the Z&A Catalogue), decide which one you like and IM Antony Fairport and let him know which one you want. When he's next able to he'll deliver you your choice of Punishment Picker (this should happen within 24 hours -- do feel free to drop him a follow-up in case it doesn't).

Delivery of the Punishment Picker will be from our CasperVend system so it'll only happen when you're online and we'll be able to know you got the product okay.

Also, there's no limit to the offer: if you've got more than one sub/slave that you wish to buy a Sub-Allowance for you get a free Punishment Picker for every purchase. That way they can have their own special set of punishments, tasks, payments, whatever...

If you have any questions about this offer please don't hesitate to drop Antony a line.
