Happy New Year!

Thank you all, dear Kittyreaders, for sticking by me through thick and thin. It has been a rough year in RL for me and I’m ready to start 2020 feeling fresh, fancy and new.

It’s my 13th Rez Day on 30th December!!!!!

I never thought I’d be still in Second Life all these years later, let alone still blogging about it but there’s still so much to see, to try and to fall in love with.

I’m going to try to get back into a better blogging routine so I can share more of the best of Second Life with you. I hope to explore the virtual world a tad more in the new year (especially now I’ve got a wonderful new graphics card, thank you to my beloved for that!)

What do I want to see in-world in SL in 2020? More people to experience what SL is truly about. Since mesh arrived I’ve been truly in awe of some of the creations that I’ve seen this year, and mesh heads and bodies have significantly changed the game for all of us. Add Bento into the mix and well, we’ve come a long way baby!

I’m grateful to Linden Lab for keeping this world of wonder going for so long. I do think that in 2020 they need to concentrate on Second Life rather than Sansar, which just hasn’t taken off in the way that they thought it would. Second Life is still turning a profit, so it’s only right that it should be their priority. I want to see new innovations for us avatars to enjoy, along with more benefits for being members. I don’t think that resident opinions are taken account of in the way that they should be either, and I feel that has been the way for far too long. Perhaps the dawning of the new decade will see the changes that Second Life needs to keep growing, expanding and being a place that so many love. I’m proud to be in Second Life, and always will be. Here’s to 2020 making me even prouder to be an avatar!

(Dress is from Erratic, it’s called ‘Yennifer’ and it’s bloody gorgeous, perfect for a NYE party! Headband is a free gift from Yummy! and I heartily suggest you go and grab one because it comes with one of those thingybobs that you stick in your chops and blow and it unrolls and basically annoys the hell out of everyone, so yeah, there’s that….)

MBA: Looks to make you go ‘WOW’!

May 15, 2016 by Lisa Millar ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

More MBA BI-MONTHLY goodies to share gang. First up, check out this bloody lovely skin from WOW SKINS. To be honest, I don’t tend to wear many skins other than my beloved AMARA BEAUTY ones these days so it has to be something very special to make me want to change.

This WOW SKIN is definitely worth my time though; it’s called ‘Mimi’ and I’m wearing her in tan. The CATWA applier that I’m sporting is simply sublime; a gorgeous, lustrous lip and slim arched brow offer great facial definition, and the tone is evenly and expertly applied across my Maitreya bod. The applier HUD is neat and offers three brow shades along with a no brow option, and there are five eye makeup options included too. I’m incredibly taken with it, as I’m sure you can tell!Moving on to my outfit and I’m absolutely loving this ABSOLUT VENDETTA ‘Liloo’ Yoga Top. This is an easy to wear wardrobe essential; add jeans or a skirt and it will look great however you style it. It’s shaped really well and I love the ribbon tie at the back; it’s very nicely modelled and looks realistic. The top is actually three parts: the main body, then there are the bra straps and the centre of the bra – these can all be coloured separately and you can wear without the bra should you so wish. against the thigh. I’ve had a lot of fun testing out colour options on this, but I’ve opted for the orange because it always looks so effective against denim blue, and that’s the colour of the shorts I’ve dressed it with. These shorts are from SORBET. These are pretty simple fayre, and denim shorts are ten-a-penny in SECOND LIFE but these stand out because of the graceful scalloped edge that sits neatly against the thigh. I’ve added some of my favourite accessories to create a lovely look for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

If you’re curious about my surroundings this is the SCARLET CREATIVE and TARTE treats that were featured in the inaugural LUXEBOX. I’m incredibly pleased with mine and will talk about it some more over the next few posts!

Witchy Wednesday: In The Kitchen With Kitty..

October 28, 2015 by Lisa Millar ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Nothing wrong with a bit of Kitchen Witchery (yes, it is a thing) from time to time, and that’s precisely what I’m doing here. You don’t need to be chanting at an altar or sky-clad in a circle; sometimes the most effective spells can be conjured from tasty ingredients and a few incantations whispered over a pot as you stir it slowly. And as I was busy toiling over this pot of epic nommage I noticed something; I look bloody awesome from behind!

For a start, I absolutely LOVE this ERRATIC jumper that is currently available in the latest round of UBER. It fits like a dream on my Maitreya bod, has lovely sleeves and scoop neck and a delicate button fastening down the back. If you’ve been reading Kittywitchin‘ for a while then you’ll know I have a thing about jumpers, or sweaters as our friends across the Atlantic tend to call them. I know it’s strange, but even in a virtual world at this time of year you’ll find me wearing clothes that reflect the real life seasons. I could be wearing a lovely bikini and chilling on a beach sim somewhere, but seeing as I’m in the northern hemisphere and I’ve got the heating on, it’s unlikely.

Anyway, I’m wearing the orange ‘Ava’ sweater from ERRATIC at Uber, and I’ve teamed it with an old favourite BUENO denim skirt and my N-CORE ‘Alexandra’ boots, which I’ve barely taken off these past few weeks. Orange and deep, dark indigo work beautifully together as I hope this picture proves. I tell you what else looks good in this picture, my hair. This is LITTLE BONES ‘Luna’ from UBER, and as you can see it hangs down my back rather realistically too.

Kitty Wears:

BODY: Maitreya ‘Lara’ V3.4

SWEATER: Erratic ‘Ava’ UBER

SKIRT: Bueno Denim ‘Midnight Dark’

BOOTS: N-Core ‘Alexandra’

Hang on, is that Alan in the sink? FFS Alan, Get out!

Saturday Sorcery: The Well Dressed Witch

October 25, 2015October 25, 2015 by Lisa Millar ♥ 0 Leave a Comment

Another day, another Witchy look inspired by this fabulous ERRATIC ‘Mia’ dress from the MBA BI-MONTHLY EVENT. It’s the red version I’m sporting this time, along with a fabulous REMARKABLE OBLIVION hat, won from one of the Gacha machines in their store. You know, these hats really do take some beating. They’re probably the most detailed witch/sorcerer style bonnets on the grid when it comes to design and colour, and because they’re so well made they really do make a nice alternative to the regular black pointy number that is currently being sported here, there and everywhere. Dare to be different folks! I’m still wearing the ILLI ‘Doutzen’ boots; they’re just a sensation and this time I’m sporting a nice brown texture to coordinate beautifully with my frock.
My hairstyle is from LITTLE BONES at N21. What can I say about LITTLE BONES hair that I haven’t already said in many a blog post on these pages? Not much to be fair.
The styles are always sensational and I’ve completely converted to their long-hair ways. One thing I particularly like about this style is the way that the back has been rendered, there is just as much attention paid to the tendrils and locks that fall against you as there is attention paid to the front. I’ve got some snaps that will show you what I mean coming up in a few posts time, so watch this space. Naturally I’m still sporting my current fave skin, ‘Becca’ from ZOUL CREATIONS because why would I take something so awesome off? I’ve rummaged in my inventory too to find an an old favourite necklace of mine, ‘Eerie’ by CAE that I blogged about extensively HERE, all the way back in 2013! It hasn’t dated at all and for me will be getting a lot of wear during Halloween due to the myriad of charms in the HUD. It’s still available so be sure to indulge! Oh, and last but not least, check out my eyeballs! I forgot that I had these IKON ‘Hope’ eyes in Crimson until yesterday but what a fabulous find for me at this time of year. They manage to be completely devilish yet elegant at the same time; I’ll be having LOTS of fun with these, that’s for sure!
