Cold Logic Goes To London

Cold Logic Goes To London

I love logging in to surprises..you know, death threats, final demands..<sigh>

Occasionally I log in to *nice* surprises. The kind that make me go “Squee” with delight, run around in an exhaustive fashion and have to change my Tena-Lady. They are *Good* surprises.

So it was with sheer joy that I logged in today and found a package from Cold Logic.   Yes, I KNOW I blog a lot about Cold Logic and I KNOW I blog a lot about Jane, but seriously until someone starts making clothes to the same standard then quite frankly I reserve the right to blog about their awesomeness until the cows come home, put the kettle on and watch Coronation Street.

So with that out of the way, feel free to salivate over this frock that I’m wearing. It’s called ‘London’ and it’s in plum too, my favourite colour. ISN’T IT GRAND?! It’s actually deceptively simple; it’s a plain shift embellished with a gauze that features a delicate dot-print. It’s over one shoulder too, making it totally on trend and perfect for partying. (It’s the kind of dress in real life that I’d wear to a wedding reception; except alas I couldn’t wear it in real life because I’d look like an elephant with thrombosis. Thank God for SL!)

The mesh shape is excellent, as you would expect from Cold Logic. It has the realism and draped feel that’s required for this kind of style, and it nails it. In fact, it has an almost Toga-like vibe to it, don’t you think? Looks great when you move too (In a ladylike fashion, natch) and is perfect with some killer heels and going back to my Toga comment I actually think you could wear this with some gladiator style sandals and totally nail the look. (Backtrack: I think this may be why it’s called ‘London’..you know, Olympics and such-like. I’ll shush now)

This is versatile styling so you can be delicate with your jewellery and hair or wear something totally OTT; the dress serves as a perfect base for either look. I’ve gone delicate, choosing to wear some contrasting jewellery from Earthstones, along with my Curio Skin and some hair that I picked up at Hair Fair yesterday from Iren (which I shall blog about later)

I think I look a proper bobby-dazzler in this one.. Deffo worth chatting up at the bar:) Oh, and I know what you’re thinking, “But tell us how much it is Kitty!” Here’s the BEST bit.

It’s a FREEBIE.

Join the Cold Logic Update Group in-store and you’ll get this for your trouble…I know right?!

Better get going then…here’s your TAXI

I GOT IN!! And guess which team I’m batting for?!

Guys, I *finally* got in to the One Voice Fundraiser, and all I can say is…*wow*

The items that are for sale are just totally amazing.  There is a plethora of quality goodies available for you to spend your hard-earned Lindens upon on, and I suggest you do so with the utmost gusto.

I insist upon frenzied shopping guys and gals!

You know, I got pretty emotional walking around the event..yeah, I know, sappy kitty. But I don’t care; I know Second Life is a fantastic community, I know it does loads for charity; but until recent events took place  I really don’t think  that content creators were considered highly enough.  

And this event reaffirms my faith in the avatars that share this spectacular virtual world with me. 

Seeing what has happened to Gala has hit everyone hard, and really made us all think.  The drama has been our wake-up call as a community.

 And I think it’s working guys, I really do. The event sim is perpetually jam-packed so that you can’t get in (some creators have placed their items in their own stores because of this; please check so that you don’t miss out) and there are donation bins bursting with Lindens. It’s a roaring success.  

Please, don’t stop shopping at this event.

Every Linden counts towards justice for Gala, and faith restored for the rest of us. 

  • Don’t stop donating.
  • Don’t stop until we get Gala back in Second Life and she can put this nonsense behind her. 
  • Buy *everything* ( I guarantee you probably will do anyway!) 

If this can happen to such an important content creator in-world, who has been around for years and worked her ass off to achieve what she has, then it can happen to ANY content creator in-world, so the time to make a stand against such uber-bullshittery is NOW.

See the tee? I’m not taking it off until she’s back. Yes, it’ll stink (well actually it comes in two colours in the pack so thank fook for that) but I care not a jot..TEAM CURIO ALL THE WAY BABY!

The items that I purchased at the event and am wearing in the pic include the ‘This Is A Fawn’ supporters tee and A.D.D. Andel! Curio Eyes in Steel Purple. I’m also wearing the [Mock] Black Currant Lip jelle, which is part of a pack of make ups that look stunning on Curio skins.

Also, the Curio blog is located HERE, keep up to date with all the news via this source!

Normally I’d be having a mardy fit if I couldn’t get into a sim after two days of trying…

Normally I’d be having a mardy fit if I couldn’t get into a sim after two days of trying…

But the fact remains that EVERY time I’ve attempted to get into the One Voice Fundraiser ( the ‘Gala For Gala’) and discover  I can’t because the region is full,  it just fills me with hope.

It’s astonishing..I’ve not seen so many green dots on a region map in a LONG time.

I’m wearing a low arc avatar for the lag, as I always do for these kinds of events.  Helps with the lag, so I urge you to do the same.

Hopefully I’ll get in today (I’m back at work on shifts for the next four days so I’ll miss out otherwise)

I’m just gonna keep trying..I want to do my bit too:)

If you’re struggling to get in, I urge you to do the same. I find loitering with intent at sim borders is sometimes the way to go in situations like these! 

Here’s a link to try..good luck!

A GALA FOR GALA

A GALA FOR GALA

My name is Kitty O’Toole, and I am proud to wear CURIO skins.

And that’s why any spare Lindens I have in my possession will be spent at the ‘Gala For Gala’ aka the ‘One Voice’  fundraiser, which begins in just over 12 hours at Midnight SLT.

The list of contributors is just mind-boggling (visit the blog to see the official listing, you will wet your pants!) and includes some of the finest names in hair, skin, clothing, accessories and furnishings that you can find in Second Life.

This is an amazing event, and the participants should be proud of their efforts to support such an esteemed fellow content-creator.  

I don’t know Gala personally, but I’m sure she’s blown away by the support she is receiving. 

Let’s hope the fundraiser works ( I have no doubt that it will!) and she comes back to the grid where she so rightfully belongs bigger and better and stronger than ever. 

We ❤ You Gala!
