Port Seraphine closing down in Second Life on 1st January 2012
Nephilaine Protagonist has announced that Port Seraphine will be closing down as of 1st January 2012. This is really sad news for the SL community and yet another piece of SL history will be gone. PixelDolls has been popular hit with the SL community over the years and many will be sad to see it go.
Port Seraphine will be shutting down as of Jan 1. This includes the PixelDolls main store, as well as the gallactic, romance, and chroma shops. All items have been set to L50 and will remain so until Jan 1st.
I’ve got a few things planned to commemorate this farewell, including a photo contest and a final LE item- the last PixelDolls will ever produce!- as well as a special something for all of you in the update group. Stay tuned, more info on that coming on Dec 1.
Nephilaine plans on doing smaller and more SL focused projects during the next year. I wish Nephilaine the best of luck on the next chapter.

I’ve shopped there, ages ago. I think everyone on the grid has at some point.
I can’t recall why it didn’t become one of my regular spots.
SL fashion is less mercenary than RL fashion – where a label that is hot today is -sooooo- uncool tomorrow. But the phenomenon still exists.
Nothing stays cool forever.
So is this a sign of a fading grid, or of fashionistas moving on to other brands? Or both?
I want to believe its just a branding shift, but it probably is both.
Will try to check it before it goes puuuf!
Great.
Everytime someone announces another closing, it sends a shiver through me. Too bad.
It does the same to me. I report on closures and openings among other SL stories on my blog.
As one door shuts, another opens!
