Kitty’s back..kinda…

..sort of. I’ve had my surgery but I can’t sit properly still, which is a real pain in the butt. Literally. However, in the VERY short time I have been able to sit at my PC I’ve created a rather lovely shape for you at a steal of a price. This is ‘Tokyo Rose’, and she’s been created for you to wear specifically with Tuli’s latest skin, ‘Sayuri’. I’ve never really designed a shape with a specific skin in mind but ‘Sayuri’ is a thing of beauty, as are all of Tuli’s skins, and the make-ups that are available are a veritable treat to be sure. YOU MUST HAVE IT.

This is a fascinating skin actually, it has expert detailing, and I’m besotted by the detail on the throat..as you can see in this photograph it’s so perfect as to be real. If you’re a vampire and you’re reading this I have no doubt that your fangs are ready to go by now, it’s practically Vamp-porn. Another point to note in this photo is the hair. As you know I’m a huge fan of Truth, so I was delighted to discover that he’s created a range of styles that are freely available to all in the LIBRARY drop down in your inventory…you know, the bit that no one uses? I can count the amount of times I’ve used my library on one hand, so amazing additions to it such as a range of free, quality hairstyles by probably the most successful hair designer in-world today is something very special indeed.

Tokyo Rose is available at my Nu Republik location for the crazy price of L$45. Think Tom Cruise hopping up and down on a sofa crazy and you’re not even close, so you’d better go and get one. It may be cheap as chips, but it shows ‘Sayuri’ off something special, and besides you’ll need to be saving your pennies so you can buy the skins from Tuli, won’t ya?

Sneaky Peak…Sassy Six

Here’s one of the new shapes that I’ve been working on.

This shape is called ‘Six’. I’m wearing a Curio skin for this shot (they’re my default choice so you’ll have to forgive my bias!) and the dress is a new find that I discovered at a store called ‘Sassy!’

It’s a lovely store and sells an amazing range of sexy wee dresses and separates. I can NEVER have enough sexy dresses in SL, and Sassy! sells  items at really good prices with great detailing (such as wrinkles in the fabric; it always helps to add a little authenticity) Expect to see more of them featured on here.
I finished the look with fabulous arm warmers from A&M and hair by Truth…

I hope you like ‘Six’ and I’ll be featuring even more of the new shapes and ways to wear them very soon.

First up dear readers, HUGE grovelling apologies for my not blogging for (gulp) almost a week.
It’s my RL shifts, alas some weeks they bugger me up more than usual and I’m afraid that’s been the case here. Still, I’ll more than make up for it I can assure you! So, how have you been, missed me? Having fun with 2.0? I must confess that I’m really getting into my stride with it now. I’m not in as much of a loving minority as I was with it last week either; I’ve encountered a lot of people who are gagging for the new viewer, especially the Snowglobe version. I’m running Snowglobe 2.0 at the moment and SL is rezzing better and faster and is noticeably less laggy, so I do heartily recommend that you give it a whirl.
Of course, I eagerly await the Emerald 2.0 viewer. I think everyone is waiting for that one with baited breath, fingers crossed!
Anyway, to get us back into the swing of things, let me share a nice look I’ve just created with you. This is sort of beach-beautiful, which I’ve crafted using CURIO ‘Beach-Jellyfish 2’. I’m wearing a chest enhancing attachment with it from LINC, and the jewellery is by my favourite jewellers at the moment, $GaNKeD$. The gorgeusly summery hair is ‘Justine’ in ‘Barley’ by TRUTH, and the dress is called ‘Open Up’ in plum, by UB. But the main reason I created this was because I wanted to share the stunning butterfly face tattoo I won today at DEVOL. They have a roulette machine in store, you pay it L$50 and you receive a face tattoo selection at random. I had two attempts and got two beauties; this butterfly tattoo and a stars tattoo. I love the fact that we have a tattoo layer now in the new viewer, and it’s going to make such a difference to designers. Make-up, facial tattoos and various adornments, even hair bases can be created for this layer now and it’s really going to revolutionise some of the looks that we see on our virtual catwalks and blogs in the near future. I’m sore impressed with this look and I hope you are too..to think, we’ve only had 2.0 for just over a week as well….

I’m sure you’re all busily engaged in getting ready for Halloween…I mentioned in my previous post that I’d spill the beans on some corking Halloween outfits, and rest assured you have PLENTY of options for looking fab.  It’s just over a week away now, so time to get shopping! Here’s my first outfit for you to enjoy..
Incidentally, I love this photograph, which I took using a prop at MC. Even though I have my own photo-studio I often use the facilities there because of the variety of poses and backdrops available. It’s always busy but I don’t mind waiting, it’s a fabulous and very generous assett for the Second Life community.
I’m wearing a mixture of freebies, cheapies and paid for items, and I think the resulting outfit is fab. It’s a slightly-neat distressed/casual look (I don’t know what else to call it!) featuring a couple of elements that I found on X-street that I strongly suggest you go and get. They’re budget pieces but great for building up an authentic Halloween look!

Base:
Shape is of course one of my own, and it’s my shape of the season, ‘Winter’, which is just L$10!! BARGAIN or what?! ( Beautiful face, I’m sure you’ll agree)
Skin – by Curio – Acorn Frex Light ‘Vixen’ in Gunmetal 1. ( This is a ruddy amazing set of skins. The best that Gala Phoenix has produced yet, imho)
Eyes – Amis Black Neko Eye in Yellow/Gold. ( As you know I’m a fussy mare when it comes to my eyeballs and usually only wear Miriel, BUT I discovered these Amis eyes and immediately fell in love with them, so I bought the whole lot…simply stunning.)
Hair – The hair is one of Truth’s latest releases, ‘Isle‘ in Night. I dunno about you but he’s breaking me with all his creativity at the moment. His releases for the past couple of months have just been breathtaking, and he’s skinting me..stop being so bloody talented man!
Nails – The nails are actually a component of Snatch’s ‘Fish for this-Dead Pretty ‘ outfit, more from that later, but I’m wearing glove nails called ‘Zombie’ from that set.
Ears and Tail -This is the first of two X-Street SL sets that I’ve found at bargain prices that really fit the bill. This one is called ‘NekoPumpkin’ by SLC, and I like having orange ears and tail as they make a nice contrast to dark clothing and hair..the set is L$50 so it’s a gift, and a nice item to have in your inventory. (The other set I’ll cover later)

Clothing:
Legwarmer, Armband, Cuff and Nails are from Snatch’s ‘Fish for this-Dead Pretty’ outfit. It comes with a skirt, dreads and top and would look great if worn with a zombie skin for Halloween..I just chose to keep a few elements of it on while I messed around..as you do…to be fair they look so fab that I’m reluctant to take them off.
Jeans and paws ( Just out of shot) are from !K&L! on X-Street SL, the ‘Angry Kitty’ set which is a blinking bargain at just L$50 and contains practically everything you need to be the best dressed Neko in town ( except shape, skin and eyes) I love the !K&L! bargains and I snap them up greedily each time a new one is released.
Top – this lovely top is part of a gift set from a store called Ova Hauled, which I found out about via Stacia’s wonderful Virtual Neko. I’m gradually getting much more into the Neko scene and finding myself reluctant to remove my ears and tail these days…so I’ve joined the ‘Virtual Neko’ community and learning lots loving it…
( Thanks to everyone on the forums there for their patience and practical help!)

Bear with me as I’ll get this post up and THEN add URL’s where relevant afterwards…anyway, hope you liked this Halloweeny look and feel a tad inspired!
