I’m tired of feeling like I’m f**king crazy…

Regular readers will be well aware that I do like a nice frock, oh, and a nice jumper too. Try as I might I have NEVER been able to get into the mindset that you can wear what you want all year round in Second Life. Can’t do it, won’t do it, and to be perfectly honest a lot of designers won’t, either. Thank the Goddess for that!

At this time of year I’m generally easy to find scurrying around the grid with reckless abandon like a squirrel on a mission, looking for the new season’s latest jumpers and jumper dress releases, and assorted items of comfort clothing to add to my vast collection and readers, let’s be honest here, it’s an issue.

But I don’t care, winter is practically here, the heating is on and I want a nice snuggly long jumper and socks to wear in my virtual life AS WELL AS my real one. (Naturally, I look a darn sight better in my virtual existence than I do in my real one sporting such comfort attire, but that’s a given!)

Let’s completely ignore the fact that my socks and frock leave a gap where I’m sure to feel a draught around my virtual tumpsy but anyway, I do like this long jumper from RINGO HANNA that I sourced from the latest TRES CHIC event. It’s your basic long knit style that we have kinda seen a million times before but it just works, you know?

I wanted to pair this with some long, lace-trimmed socks of which I’ve seen countless pairs on fashion feeds over the years but you know what, when I wanted them I just couldn’t find them. FFS. So I bought a cheapo pair from the marketplace; a nice straightforward pair with some lacing to the top which adds interest to the look. It’s simple, it’s comfy, what more do you want?

Finally, let me draw your attention to my face. I’m wearing NAR MATTARU‘s ‘Banshee’ eyeshadow on my eyes and I am in love. Frankly, deep down I am very much a Goth chick at heart and always have been, and I’ve grown up with a particular affection for Siouxsie Sioux. I also play Sisters Of Mercy on a regular basis and have for many years yearned to be Patricia Morrison, but anyway, at least I find a vent for that in Second Life because frankly I look a chuff with black hair (left dye on it once for too long, never again, I’ll stick to dark brown ta very much) and my hooded eyes make winged eyeliner practically impossible.

Second Life, in this case, then is definitely an outlet for my more outlandish makeup dark fantasies and I’m all for the changes that bakes on mesh have brought in and look forward to playing with layers galore on my current head du jour (although as I understand it Genus have not updated to ‘Bakes on Mesh’ yet…)

Anyway, this makeup combo plus this fantastic long hairstyle from MOON makes me look very, well, Lana Del Rey. Even more so than the actual Landa Del Rey skin I’m wearing; I’ve certainly not adjusted my shape to make myself look more like her and didn’t buy the skin for that reason, I just liked it, but it certainly strikes me as interesting how much a heavy liner eye look has added some hints of ghetto Nancy Sinatra to my appearance, and I’m loving it.

Let Me Be Your Fantasy

I am not, despite appearances, in the slightest bit kinky. I’d rather have a nice cup of tea and a lie down; truth be told I find all the kinks and sexual weirdness in Second Life exhausting. I mean, who has the energy, virtual or otherwise, for these shenanigans? But hey, it’s a thing, I get it. Fortunately KINKY MONTHLY isn’t just all about butt plugs and lube. Granted there’s usually quite a lot of butt-plugs and lube there BUT you’ll also find some nice items of clothing, usually of the skimpy variety but very nice, nonetheless.

Here’s an example, a very nice dress from CANDY KITTEN. It’s called ‘Heartbreaker’ and it’s a nice, simple ruched affair that you can either wear with the included bra (like I have here) or dispense of it entirely and show your nipples off. Which it’s way too cold for in my humble opinion.

I added an old harness I had in my inventory from BLUEBERRY, and some long forgotten but bot I’m glad I found them again pentacle hand harnesses from ASTRALIA and voila! A simple yet effective look appears:)

I added a style that I found at ANTHEM called ‘Babyrose’ and voila! Now about that cup of tea….

Wanna Second Life and chill?

Okay, I confess..after my last post, I went back to COLLABOR88 because seriously, how could I not? I got some more NYLON OUTFITTERS underwear (this time I went for the waspie set in Nude, I’m NOT stalking you Nylon, I promise!) and it works perfectly, PERFECTLY I TELL YOU, with this Kimono from the latest round of THE EPIPHANY.

I felt sad wandering around THE EPIPHANY if I’m honest because it reminded me of the glory days of THE ARCADE. The quality of content, bar a few exceptions, is outstanding, and I’m afraid that, in my personal opinion, we’ve seen a sharp decline in the quality of content at THE ARCADE, which has resulted in me barely even registering any excitement at the prospect of the last round, let alone wanting to try my hand at any of the machines. (For what it’s worth, I hope I’m proved wrong by the summer edition and it’s back to the event that we know, love and long for with bated breath. I’ll cross my fingers for that <3)

Anyway, this kimono is by DAYDREAM at THE EPIPHANY and it has a hud for the pattern and trims, and one of the trim options compliments my undercrackers perfectly. Oh, and check out my hair! LOOK AT IT!!! This is the perfect Sunday morning messy updo, isn’t it? I mean, I wish that when I threw my hair into an updo in real life it looked this good and I didn’t look like a hairy potato but hey, in at least one of my lives I’m a fucking Goddess, right? It’s the second one, obviously.

So this hair is by SINTIKLIA, it’s called ‘Willow’ and the reason I love it so is the loose tendrils that don’t so much as frame the face as get in the way and do your virtual head in, but no matter because it looks all windswept and interesting and coquettish like; you know like how Brigitte Bardot was before she got all racist and shiz? Yup, that.

Anyway, enjoy. Me, I’m trying to eat my Cheerios without spilling them all down my front because of a four day weekend and all that, betches. I’m so hungover it stinks, and trust me, virtual hangovers are the worst kind. I hate being pixel pissed…..

I Need To Be Alone Or I’m Gonna Lose My Shit

Now, I KNOW I’ve been wearing long hair recently bit if you’re a long time reader of ‘Kittywitchin’ then you’ll be well aware of my all-encompassing love of bob hairstyles. I have always loved bobs, there’s a special place in my heart for them and there always will be, so when my current favourite hairstylist STEALTHIC released their bob length, windswept and interesting hairstyle ‘Willow’ at COLLABOR88 I. Had. To. Have. It. So I did, and I ruddy adore it. It comes with a styling hud so you can sweep your hair behind your ears or let it fall gently against your face and frankly you had me at styling HUD. I live for shiz like this. STEALTHIC makes me VERY hair happy. I basically need to save up and purchase all of their damn hairstyles because of reasons..ugh!

Another brand that makes me smile is CANDYDOLL. I might not buy all their releases but I know enough about the brand to know that they fit my MAITREYA bod pretty darn perfectly. I don’t fatpack very often because my Lindens are such precious things BUT when I do splurge it tends to be on fatpacks that offer plenty of variety in pattern and colour, and CANDYDOLL sure does that with their releases. Alas, I wasn’t able to fatpack this C88 beauty this time around, the ‘Amena‘ dress, so I opted for a striking black and white leopard print and I think I chose wisely. I tell you what I particularly like about it-the styling around the hands. I like the way it partially covers my MAITREYA ‘Lara’ hands; and of course, using the HUD for the body you can adjust to make sure your fingers are visible. You can’t wear rings as they’ll poke through but I like the way it looks enough to forgo finger wear so took the plunge. There are fifty, YES FIFTY, options available in the fatpack, I know right? Ugh, I could weep!

I’m wearing another C88 item, although you can barely see it; it’s this months contribution to C88 from NYLON OUTFITTERS. Yes, we all know about my Nylon Pinkney obsession, I’m a fan-girl and I care not who knows it. Nylon and her SL/RL sister Polyester Partridge are the cool girls that I want to be best friends with; I adore their work to the point of being tempted to sell myself virtually so that I could purchase all of their wonderful treasures. ( I jest, of course, although, get this, I was actually propositioned in SECOND LIFE yesterday! I KID YOU NOT I WAS! This bloke offered me L$2500 to go back to his place and I kinda almost wish I had..I could’ve fat-packed that CANDYDOLL dress for a start and bought ALL the NYLON OUTFITTERS undies and..I’ll shush now because I’m NOT that kind of girl!) Anyway, I love Nylon’s underwear stylings, they’re a real fave of mine and because they’re appliers I can wear them under items and let them peep through. It’s a look that I think is super effective.

I added some old favourite jewellery pieces from KIBITZ and my all-time favourite spectacles to enhance my look and there you have it; COLLABOR88 Kitty black and white happiness.

Mood: Easter Sunday, drinking Gin as I blog and enjoying the sunshine coming through the window onto my keyboard, helping me get my writing mood on. Still wearing Factor 50, a welders helmet and asbestos suit to avoid the sun mind you...

Inspiration: Collabor88, good round this month and I’ve enjoyed it, and the track listed below…

Listening to: ‘I Need To Be Alone’ by Girl In Red.
