Pumpkins, bats and things that go WOOOO!!!

Pumpkins, bats and things that go WOOOO!!!

So, Halloween is on the horizon and I know lots of you have been busily searching for the perfect outfit for the parties that will be taking place over the weekend. If you take a peek at my Flickr you’ll see some photos that I took last night, basically I was asked to take some pictures for use in ‘The Avastar’ and being really picky I ended up taking 104 pictures!  It took me all night, but I’ve picked some of th ebest to share with you via Flickr.  There’s a couple of outfits I used for the shots-the first black and pink number is from Tart and comes in lots of different colours.  I picked orange as I like the Pumpkin look.  I also used a FREE hat for one of the shots-see the burgundy witch’s hat?- It’s a FREEBIE from Gritty Kitty and I heartily suggest you fly as fast as your broomstick will take you and get yourself one.  It comes with a colour change menu as well:) Finally, I’m also wearing Last Calls’ ‘Enchantress’  which is rather expensive, but absolutely stunning.  You have a few options with the sleeves and skirts, as well as horns, red eyes and uber-cute spider shoes. Oh, and AMAZING wings.  I’ve never really been a fan of wings in SL and these have actually changed my mind.  The whole look when put together is extremely effective..BUT there’s a problem.  So many people shop at Last Call that I expect to see rather a few ‘Enchantresses’ around halloween…still the options enable you to create a look that’s  a tad more unique. Oh, and the hair….Once again ETD are offering a fantastic freebie hair that comes in loads of colour combinations.  It’s called ‘Phoebe’ and is fabulous, and you really must get it.  The whole range of colours is included, and I’ve been experimenting all week with blondes and greens etc..something that I don’t normally do.  The fact that ETD offer us such cracking styles as freebies says a lot for the store, and I buy a lot from there, becuase I know that I will get quality.  I never usually have any issues with the fit either, which is one less hassle!  Anyway, enjoy Halloween-or Samhain, if you’re of a Pagan persuasion like myself;)

I am sooo tired…

I am sooo tired…

..Hence lack of updates for the past couple of days.  I guess I’m recovering from the two rather fabulous raves I attended at the weekend, and yes-they were all in the line of duty as an Avastar reporter.  I took LOADS of pictures, and I’m faced with the unenviable task of sorting through them all and tagging them prior to submittal, as well as supplying the obligatory write-ups.  However, as you can see from the side bar I’ve signed up to Twitter so even when I’m feeling of absolutely no use to antone at all I can still write some copy, even if all it comprises of is the word ‘Meh’.I will come back to the Hed Kandi rave at some point as well, cos I got chatting to a lovely lass who turned out to be a designer, and she gave me some free shoes which are rather scrummo! But I’ll leave that until my brain is in gear…..zzzzz

I’ve just been reading some of my posts and this is turning into a bit of a fashion blog in a lot of ways..I’m not apologising for that BUT I want to make it perfectly clear that even though I’m SL clothing obsessed the intention of the blog has only ever been to write about all things Kitty.  It’s just most of the time those things are Kitty shopping. However, joy of joys-it looks as though Sabrina and Salome are back from the mists of time and will be writing about fashion properly in their wondrous Linden Lifestyles stylee.  This makes me happy. They are fashionistas, I am not.  I know this, because at the moment I am sat in blue baggy jogging bottoms ( Primark, natch) and a Tesco cheapo blue t-shirt vest thingy. The fact is I can’t fit in any jeans at the mo, cos I have stitches right where the fastener would be, so I have an excuse for being an absolute slob at the moment. (I might change my name to Onslow and be damned) However, I don’t *just* hold out for those two fans of Audrey ( Hepburn) I do read a LOT of fashion blogs and I love it, and they work-because I can guarantee the majority of my purchases are heavily influenced by the reviews I have just digested over my bowl of coco pops. ( Yes, I read blogs in the morning, yes I eat coco pops and YES I am 34 years old. Deal.)  There is an ever burgeoning fashion industry in SL and it is an important industry at that.  Heck, wasn’t Giorgio Armani in-world last week?  There is an astonishing wealth of designing talent in world and the RL would do itself a favour if it started to recognise that.  Hence there being fashion blogs by the zillion, and quality ones at that. Why is this so?  Well, because SL has made designer fashion affordable-seriously, think about it!  In RL places like ‘Last Call’ would be well out of my league.  The most expensive item of clothing I have ever purchased is a dress from Wallis at just under £60.  I couldn’t ever afford a designer label, but hey don’t feel sorry for me as I’m not bothered.  (Believe it or not when I’ve got a bit of slap on and am polished up I know I’m stunning, designerfrock or not!;P) But in game I can afford to treat myself to clothes I can only dream about..and I do frequently.  I think it goes hand in hand with my love of dressing up dolls as a kid, and making paper dolls and dressing them too…it’s just this time I get to be the doll, and it is a fantastic experience.  It’s great therapy, and I make no apologies for being immensely proud of Kitty and the way she is styled…So please forgive me once in a while whilst I witter on about gowns and swishy things, because the majority of the time I’ll be telling you about getting sloshed at the 3L and having a fight with a cabbage. Or something.
