Describe what your perfect Second Life day would be like?

My perfect Second Life day? Hmm…not such a hard question to answer that…I’d log in and find the lag negligible, with no bugs or glitches or anything that has the potential to spoil my virtual experience. I’d have squillions, literally squillions of Lindens to spend on all sorts of beautiful clothes, interior decoration, animals and anything else that would take my fancy, and the shops would stretch far into the virtual horizon. I’d blow all the dosh on these beauties and bestow my new-found wealth upon my chums and insist they came shopping with me:) Eventually I’d tire of the shopping..no seriously, so I’d return home to find I could have as many prims as I wanted upon my land, so I’d buy a mahoosive mansion and fill it with all sorts of amazing furniture and wonderful things.Finally, I’d end the day  with a bar and club crawl with my virtual friends, starting at the Crown & Pearl before moving on to Republik to boogie on down to a cracking set performed by DJ Cyberpink.Told you it wasn’t a difficult question!

Big Bad Blogger Challenge 2009….

Big Bad Blogger Challenge 2009….

My plans to launch the Kittylicious range this week have taken a step back due to the fact that I’m really busy working and I’ll also be going to London again( PSB’s at the O2!!) Sorry about that, BUT it does mean I’ll have the time to make sure that everything is super windswept and interesting prior to release day! 

I’ve also just stumbled across an interesting concept, the Big Bad Blogger Challenge, which will run for a week and pose questions that various Second Life bloggers, or should that be SLoggers? will answer upon their pages.  It’s a great idea, and I’ve decided to take part too because I do so hate to be left out:) Here are my contributions to questions posed this far, it’s a question a day and started yesterday SO it’s a double dose…I love stuff like this..thanks to Alicia Chenaux for the opportunity!

 

Totally Kittylicious!

Not long to go until launch for my new shapes range:) I’ve been working hard to make sure that everything is going to plan and I’m hoping to put the shapes out for sale on Monday!

The first wave of shapes include the following:

  • Cherry Dahling – Pictured above; a plus-sized avatar shape that is simply beautiful, and I’m very proud to put my name to her.
  • Suzuka -A slimmer, younger shape that works very well as an Oriental style..utterly squee!
  • Ultimate Kittycurve – A curvaceous, sublime and rather nommy ladyshape…for the lady who ain’t afraid of being ‘all woman’

I’ll also be releasing a LIMITED EDITION shape called ‘Selina’, inspired by Selina Kyle, and last but not least my first male shape called ‘Damon’. Something for everyone there I hope…

Pricing is still being decided BUT the shapes will be copy/modify so I have to take that into account. I certainly won’t be charging a chuffing fortune, but remember a good shape is like a quality coathanger, everything hangs better.  ( Cue ‘Mommy Dearest’, “NO WIRE HANGERS!” )

I’m really excited..hope you are too!

Beautiful New Release from Miel-‘Leafy’

Beautiful New Release from Miel-‘Leafy’

(Ignore the weird blocky effect on the dress, I’m pretty sure that’s more an issue with my adjustment than with the actual frock..)I am *always* excited when I get an update to say that Miel have new items in store. Miel is such a satisfying place to shop.The store is well presented, the clothing arranged beautifully and it makes for a highly enjoyable experience.   There’s imagination and thought in every design, and you’re assured of quality, something that is backed-up by the regular gifts distributed to the group.  They are always top-notch, and to me shows a caring attitude from the designer;it would be way too easy to send a gift out that was below par, but when you receive something of quality then you know you’re dealing with a professional.  Anyway, on to ‘Leafy’, a sumptuous number that features a beautiful printed leaf design that delicately traces across the dress, over the shoulder and into the back, where the folds of the skirt are entwined with prim leaves. Basically it looks as though you’ve sat down in a hedge, stood up and taken the brambles with you..but in a completely beautiful way:) As you can see from the picture here the leaf detailing carries onto the hem, which makes me think that this dress is perfect for a wedding, either as an outfit for the guest, or even as Bridesmaid wear. There are three colour variants but I’ve opted for a classic grey here and there are matching accessories too. There’s a headband which obviously I’m wearing, and the corsage is also an add-on. Both cost L$125, with the dress retailing at L$325..and herin lies the problem. ..
Now, it’s not for me to dictate the way that a designer retails their products, or decides upon a cost for a particular item.  Make no bones about it this is a quality dress that you would expect to pay a fair few Linden for..BUT I seriously think that you can’t just purchase the dress without the headband and corsage too, and that means that the outfit costs L$575. No biggie, and it’s certainly nice to have options, BUT I feel that the outfit would be better value if sold as a complete package for say, L$500. You could also have the individual pieces on sale too, but I just think that in times like these where every Linden counts that economy is just as important as beautiful design..and for the sake of L$75 I’ll bet it would be more profitable for the designer too.
All that aside, I don’t want to detract from what is surely destined to be one of the most popular releases on the grid this month. It’s a beautiful outfit and more than worth a looksy…as is everything in Miel. Don’t just take my word for it though, take a trip to Miel and see for yourself, but be prepared if you decide to visit the store at The Deck, you’ll need some serious sheqel!
