Good news for fans of our popular Striped Industrial Barbells. We've improved the anodizing/striping process and they now look even better, and are more consistant. Hopefully this week we'll be able to post an all new niobium color chart for you with even MORE color combinations!

UGH. I HATE downtime, especially of the unannounced variety. Last night we were down from about 9pm to midnight EST. I'm VERY sorry if this inconvenienced anyone, it sure pissed me off, I was going to add more new jewelry but was reduced to sitting here clicking "reload" while saying "c'mon c'mon" a few hundred times.

The issue has been resolved with our host and everything should be running smoothly from here on out. Speaking of running smoothly, I took a few minutes to tweek a few things with the database backend of our new website and now its running a lot faster.

To see some of the new things we have up on the site, please either poke around, or view the exhaustive list on the Maelstrom Micromanager Blog.

Also, we're currently ironing out some supplier issues, so be on the look out for faster shipping times, new choices in shipping methods, and MORE JEWELRY!

We just received a very cool email from <A href="http://www.ragdolly.net">Ragdoll</a> telling us how much she likes our <a href="http://www.maelstromstudiolab.com/item--14g-UV-Acrylic-Septum-Spikes--uvacrylicseptumspikes.html">14g UV Acrylic Septum Spikes<br><img src="http://www.maelstromstudiolab.com/ccp51/media/images/product_detail/uvseptumspikes200.jpg"><br></a> available in 8 colors. She chose the classically cybertastic UV "Mt Dew" Yellow/Green that glows like crazy in blacklights. This has got to look insanely cool with a matching hairpiece... <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ragdollhair">I might have to get one and find out!</a> false Maelstrom 2006-08-17T18:36:00-07:00 2006-08-18T02:06:35Z 2006-08-18T01:38:43Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9967479.post-115586512388313533 Stone Plugs Move to New Website! <a href="http://www.maelstromstudiolab.com/cgi-bin/ccp51/cp-app.cgi?&affl=stoneplugs&pg=cat&ref=stoneplugs">Just a "heads up" we've moved all the stone plugs over to the new website, and since we can control inventory over there now, we've included plugs that we only have a few left. And we've restocked several sizes of Amethyst plugs as well.

More like back to hiding it....
Ah, the first day of school - sometimes its exciting, fun, and the chance to meet new friends and potential dates. Everybody's there in their new clothes and shiny new school supplies and NOTHING could go wrong. Then out comes the "Code of Conduct" and the "Dress Code" and all the sudden that tiny nostril, septum, or ear piercing you have is FORBIDDEN... and it doesn't seem to matter if you're a slacker or a straight A superpower.

We can help you with that though. We're PROUD to help you buck the system with our full line of piercing retainers and hide-its. Everyone knows that the school beaurocrats should be focusing on bigger, more important problems than your 18g nostril stud, hide it so they don't even know!

Now get back to studying!

Speaking of new things, we just started up a second blog, we're calling the "Micromanager". Basically whenever we add in a new single item, new option etc. it will be listed here:<br /><a href="http://www.maelstromstudiolab.com/blog/micromanager.html">http://www.maelstromstudiolab.com/blog/micromanager.html</a><br /><br /><br />Not to worry, the big updates that most people will be interested in will be right here on our main blog, but for those of you who are waiting for something specific, the Micromanager blog may be fun to watch. Heck, we just set up a little RSS feed for it that you can subscribe to:<br /><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MaelstromMicromanager">http://feeds.feedburner.com/MaelstromMicromanager</a><br /><br />Though if you want to just see the highlights, you can check out the RSS feed for the main blog as well:<br /><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/MaelstromBodyJewelryBlog">http://feeds.feedburner.com/MaelstromBodyJewelryBlog</a><br /><br />In other news - here are some of the highlights of the new items added:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.maelstromstudiolab.com/item--UV-Acrylic-Standard-Talons--abauvacrylictalons.html">Standard style UV Acrylic Talons in Black 4g, 2g, 0g</a><Br><br /><a href="http://www.maelstromstudiolab.com/item--UV-Reactive-Acrylic-Tusks-Pinchers--blkacrylictusks.html">Acrylic Tusks (Pinchers) in 8g, 6g, 4g, and 2g in a variety of colors</a><Br><br /><a href="http://www.maelstromstudiolab.com/item--Clear-Acrylic-Double-Flared-Eyelets--cleareyelets.html">Clear Acrylic Eyelets 6g up to 1 1/4"!</a><Br><br /><br />I promise we'll be adding many non-acrylic items VERY soon!!! :) false
