Counting down to Halloween!!

Counting down to Halloween!!

With only 7 days to go until “Fright Night” the grid is simpy buzzing with all things spooky! This year promises to see the biggest and best Halloween celebration since Second Life began..the grid is speckled black and orange all over and it’s so much fun picking costumes and just loving all the wonderful things that have been created for us to enjoy! I’ve been *DELUGED* with notecards about freebies and hunts so will try and share as much with you as I can.
Take a look at my Flickr for some inspirational snaps that I’ve taken featuring some amazing Halloween freebies that you can find on X street SL.. Yes, the majority of the items are FREEBIES..No, you didn’t read that wrong!
NOTE TO RETAILERS..It’s almost Halloween!

..so if you have anything Halloween/Samhain related that you’d like me to feature upon these pages then please drop me a note asap.

Review guidelines are always available on the Kitty Kontact page, BUT for your convenience they’re re-printed here. I do ask that you follow point number one, because I’m pretty certain I’m losing things in my inventory because it’s a bloody mess and I haven’t got around to reorganising it yet..yikes! 

REVIEW GUIDELINES:

If you have any items that you would like me to review then I’d be chuffed to do so.  However, a review is just that, I’ll write exactly what I think, but my mum raised me to have manners so rest assured even if I think your stuff sucks I’ll say so in the nicest way possible.  I don’t see any point in writing a review if it doesn’t actually criticise the item in question, so that means I’ll scrutinise the details, zoom in on the seams and the textures and also take into consideration important stuff like permissions ( Mod/Copy/Transfer) and price.  We live in interesting times and every Linden Dollar counts…Kittywitchin is all about quality and I have standards, contrary to popular belief!
I’m a prim whore so I’ll review most objects within reason.  I like reviewing furniture as well as clothes, but I also review jewellery,houses, skins, hair, eyes, modelling poses and anything else *including* the kitchen sink!

If it’s relevent to the Second Life metaverse, then it’ll be relevant to the Kittywitchin’ readers too.

If you would like your products back after I have reviewed them then that is absolutely fine, I don’t expect freebies…but they are nice! Of course I have my own personal preferences, so for the record I’ll list them here and that may help you when sending me items.  As far as clothing goes I’ll wear anything EXCEPT sticky-out skirts (they fill many a freebie box in world).   I can’t stand them!  If it’s hair that you’re sending me then please be aware that I’m particularly interested in variations on my signature bobbed hairstyle, and my favourite colours tend towards the darker end of the spectrum, so think black/dark reds and earthy tones please, I’m a typical Virgo! I like Autumnal shades rather than pastels…personal preference shouldn’t really play a part in a review I know, BUT I don’t think I could give you an honest opinion if I was dressed up like a fondant fancy. I’d be far too busy vomiting due to my candy pink allergy.
If you decide to send me review items, please abide by the policy below:
1. Folders are super useful and appreciated.   For super safety, call your folder  ’For Review’ followed by submission date and your store name please.
2. Please include a notecard, with all the essential details on it like:

  • Name of the store & designer(s)
  • Name of the outfit/hairstyle/object/building/small patagonian mammal
  • Price
  • SLURL
  • Link to your blog- I can then include you on my blogroll, which is nice.
  • Whether you’d like your items returned.
  • Anything else that you want to include.

3. Send me the folder via my profile, OR visit my Angel Square Office where you can ‘post’ your items in my postbox! ( It accepts everything except scripts, so cash and goodies are fine:)

Getting ready for happy Halloweeny time!

Noam Sprocket (Gritty Kitty) generously sent out Halloween 2008 gifts to his subscription group last night, and by heck they’re good! Last year was my first Halloween (Samhain) in world, and a corker it was too. I enjoyed it so much that I’ve been looking forward to this year’s festivities with mucho gusto-especially because Noam sent out a hat last year that was the most amazing Witch Hat I’ve ever seen! ( And it got me front page on The Avastar too!) This year I’ll be wearing his latest hat creation..it’s based on last years beauty, but he’s smartened it up a tad and made it even more lush than before (as if that was even possible!) It’s an exceptionally wonderful freebie this; the detailing and texture work on this hat are excellent, as you would expect from Messr Sprocket. That’s not enough though..it’s colour change too! WOOT! Therefore it will go with *everything* in your Halloween wardrobe! AND that’s not all- as if a hat wasn’t enough, you get a scarf too. Last year, again, we had a scarf which I absolutely adored. This year he’s upped the stakes again providing two sizes for your enjoyment, a fatty and a thinny. These are so good you can carry on wearing them throughout winter too, because they look superb against winter coats, and as you can see the slim variety makes a fabboo nipple warmer. Ahem. Anyways, I’m sure that if you JOIN the Gritty Kitty group and check in the archives you’ll find these freebietastic goodies to keep all to yourself-and here’s a hint, try and stay in the group because Noam sends out CRACKING stuff towards Xmas ;P Oh, and because these are FREE you won’t need to waste your Lindens on any inferior quality and frankly quite boring hats this year…..oh happy days!
