The world’s rudest monkey…

The world’s rudest monkey…

Kitty giggle of the day coming up…

I was in LAQ picking up some demo skins when I encountered this rather cool chimp avatar. It’s very authentic, the facial features were great and it even had that sticky out bottom thing that chimps have…ahem.

Anyway, I engaged the chimp in conversation to compliment him (or her?) on their appearance, as you do…..Oh Dear….

8:22] Kitty Otoole: Hi there- you’re a cool Chimp!
[8:22] Kitty Otoole: OR are you a Bonobo?
[8:22] G*** M***: why are you talking show me your titties
[8:22] Kitty Otoole: LOL
[8:22] Kitty Otoole: a rude chimp:)
[8:23] G***M***: show me your genitals your genitals show me your genitals, GENITAILYA
[8:24] Kitty Otoole: It helps if you spell the word correctly….<sigh>
Why a chimp would be hustling in LAQ I have *no* idea.  Made me smile anyway:)

Here Comes Summer!

Here Comes Summer!

To celebrate the weekend sale at Kittylicious! Shapes,  I’m releasing a brand spanking new shape for the bargain price of 10L$!

Yes, you heard me right..as well as the crazy cut prices AND the dollarbie + freebie shapes that you can find in-store, you can now be the proud owner of my latest release, “Summer”, so named because she’s gifted with  a beautiful hourglass shape that’s perfect for swimwear modelling!
“Summer” can be found at my store in Malt, click here to visit!
( Oh, and in case you were wondering: I’m wearing ‘Megan’ hair by Truth, ‘Leona’ skin by Redgrave and bikini with tan lines from Pixel Dolls. Bracelets are by Cad + Tart)

Kitty the over-enthusiastic Neko…

Kitty the over-enthusiastic Neko…

I may have just stumbled across the bargain of the century, especially if you are Neko inclined..in fact this is pretty major, because the quality and amount of wonderfulness included in this package is just stunning for the dosh. See the outfit? See the ears? The tail? The cherries? ( I’m only wearing a fraction of it as well) Guess how much?!
FIFTY LINDENS FOR THE LOT.
Bloody bargain of gargantuan proportions if you ask me. The outfit is from XstreetSL, from a creator called ‘ K&L’
Never heard of them before BUT I certainly will be keeing an eye out for them now!
First of all what impresses me most of all about this outfit is the cut off shirt..the texture, transparency and the wrinkling upon this shirt is some of the best I have EVER seen.

It’s bloody ace, seriously! The pants are cracking too;again transparent and well, don’t they look fab? I love the bangles (which in my opinion you can never have enough of) and the stockings and..well, this is what you get:
*Cut sweater
*Transparent cut sweater
*Red striped tank top
*Black and red starry bra
*Black and red starry panties
*Transparent hotpants
*Denim mini skirt
*Tall red striped socks
*Bangles (right and left)
*Fluffy neko tail with bow and streamers
*Twitchy neko ears
*Red and black legwarmers with bows
*Fuzzy neko paws w/ and w/o pawprint effect
*Red guitar pick necklace
*Cherries to hold in your mouth

Like I said, I’m not wearing all of it, but the quality and quantity of items in this package makes me ever so happy in a very special Kitty way.

If you do Neko, or are just starting out YOU MUST buy this. Even if you don’t do Neko YOU MUST buy this ( just don’t bother with the ears and tail)

In honour of the splendidness of this generous booty I’m remaining in Neko guise all weekend, and if you’re curious I’m also wearing some NEW hair from Magika that is rather beautiful dontcha think? (The skin is by Redgrave, and the shape is coming soon from me, obviously:) Why are you still reading this? BUGGER OFF AND BUY THIS OUTFIT!

Kitty’s Store is busy..weeee!!!

Kitty’s Store is busy..weeee!!!

This weekend I’m taking my first very tentative steps into hardcore SL marketing.

I’ve joined as many groups as possible: Fabfree, Fashcon, Vain Inc..( if you know of any others please share!) and I’m sending out notices left right and centre, as well as creating and basically running myself ragged. Kittylicious! Shapes is an extremely small enterprise takes such a lot of work, but I’m loving every minute and it’s so gratifying seeing visitors to the store..it was so exciting that I ran downstairs and annoyed Jez during his WoW exploits and INSISTED he come see:)
Considering mine is only a small business, it makes me wonder how the ‘biggies’ manage. It must take up so much time; yet another reason for Second Life designers to be admired. I remember that so many stories came out about SL being a quick way to make money, and it really isn’t, as anyone involved in SL trade will tell you. It’s graft, plain and simple, just as much like RL as you could possibly imagine in that respect.
From my own perspective I’m spending a lot of time making shapes and posters and evaluating prices and stumbling along in my own mad and happy fashion. It really does take up a lot of my time in-world at the moment, but the sheer thrill of someone buying and wearing one of your creations is such a reward..I cannot imagine how proud clothing designers must feel.
Yes, I know we’re just a bunch of virtual characters but the emotions are so very real, and having never created anything in my entire life before I can honestly say, hand on heart, that this is one of my proudest ever moments and is giving me so much pleasure. When it comes down to it, that’s what it’s all about in the end…thank you for your support:)
So as we’re talking about the store I’ll just blog a shameless plug to let you know about the L$50 weekend sale, as if you don’t already, LOL!

I’m also going to be releasing a new L$10 shape this weekend, and of course there’s a dollarbie and freebie in store too.
Finally, if you have any SL marketing tips (I must catch up with Peter Stindberg and Kat Alderson at some point, those guys are really good at this kind of thing!) please feel free to share in the comments section below ( they’re not just for my benefit but for all readers of this blog)
OK, enough twaddle..back to the grindstone!
