Catching up with KO Industries, Infinity, and Ravenwear

Well here are the first round of updates... I have more, I just have to wade through my older pictures and my inventory folders to double check what I haven't posted...

We'll start with this design called 'Cyber Dragon' from Infinity. Infinity is a small store that caters to a mostly demonic crowd and is in a post apocalyptic sim. And recently I've been on a cyberpunk kick so it felt like a good place to shop. Their designs are expensive though, this one cost $700L. The detail work though is incredible: the straps, the zippers, the flame designs, even the belt buckle are all highly detailed. It's done as two pieces a shirt and a pant layer. You'll need to add in your own shoes, I like using a pair of 'shoes' from a KO Industries design below. Is that high level of detail worth it...? I can't tell you... I've been debating that very thing since I bought it out of my own money...

Oh I should also note the hair which is new (well to my look in the blog at least), it's called 'Devo' and it's from Deviant Kitties which is another favorite when it comes to hair.


Next up is a design that launched last weekend at Ravenwear (& was offered to me by Ravenwear for review) , I also meant to post it last sunday and completely forgot... This design is called 'Trend'. I don't really like green, but I do love one thing about this dress: The skirt. It's one of the few prim skirts that needs no 'corrective underlayer'. It's simply a top, a pair of socks, and a prim skirt. The detail on the prim skirt and socks is also very nice. The top is a tad plain, but that's ok. It's all in the skirt with this one.


This next outfit is one I bought from Ravenwear while visiting I also bought a couple of pairs of shoes, but I didn't snap pictures of those right now... This is called 'Goth Control', and is part of a series that are all named 'control' and something else... I love the dog tag style goth labeling this has. It also shows a ton of cleavage which can be nice... that belt is also a nice addition to the pants, which also sports some straps.... And you know me and straps... Both pieces are made out of PVC or a shiny leather, it's hard to tell which. All in all a nice outfit when your heading out and about in a more goth or punk scene...


Now we've moved on to KO Industries, which is a small next to mew which is a interesting scripting store... They sell a interesting 4 legged neko AO there and I was stopping in to buy it when I turned the other way and ran into KO Industries cyberpunk/apocalyptic designs...

The first design is 'Speed Racer', which is an amazingly low cut and open front set of racing leathers. And when I say low, I mean low... As in if I had pubic hair you could see it low... It's a good thing I shave... Anyways... They are a nicely textured grey and red and except for the usual texture issues around my middle things are sweet all around...


To follow up that design is this design called "Racer X' , which as you can see takes the racing concept in different directions... Namely getting rid of the one piece style for a two piece style and this design uses far more layers then the other one. In fact in the picture I'm wearing: shoe, sock, pants, shirt, gloves, and jacket layers all at once. The only thing I don't like is that I can't choose a different color than yellow, for the main body of the shirt and the accents on the shoes, and the design of the shoes which makes the shoes part of the pants. The texturing is high quality on all the parts and I have chosen to wear pieces from this in other outfits, such as the gloves with Infinity's Cyber Dragon outfit.


'Native' is a favorite of mine, I in fact call it my 'hunting' outfit. It has multiple prim accessories: wooden bracers, wooden ankle braces, a shoulder guard, a ringed necklace, a weapon holster/backpack, and two Quiva (a type of weapon) which are even real and use the 'Safezone' combat system. I don't go seeking combat, but if you do this has an added plus for that... The non-prim part of the outfit is only three things: a set of panties, that halter-ish top, and the shoulder pad/backpack belt. The red tattoo is part of the panties with these. I love the detail and texturing on these... On top of all that if you want to modify this outfit you can! It's all modify/copy/no trans.


Lastly from KO Industries we have 'Savage Girl', just the perfect thing the next time you wander into a primitive barbarian sim... My favorite from this is the 'shoes', which are more a type of open-toed sock or foot wrap than shoes. I wear the shoes with Infinity's Cyber Dragon design in place of more traditional footwear. The clothing consists of a 'shirt' which only covers most of the upper half of your breasts and a 'skirt' which is barely there... ;) It also has a ton of prim accessories: Back 'mounted' spear, Usable Spear, knife in leg sheath, hip pouch, gauntlets with or without claws, and ankle braces. I like to wear this design with my 'full' neko skin from Jungle Voodoo for a wild look.

Well hopefully I'll do another update today, but that's it for now!

RL Stress & site news

Well my RL job has been driving me nuts all this week and stressing me out to no end. Hence the lack of updates, I've just been far far to busy to post at work and far far to tired when I get home...
You can however expect a few updates this weekend as I don't plan on going anywhere unless I have to... So I hope I get caught up...

Canimal & Site News

Well I meet up with a old friend I haven't seen in about six months yesterday, so I didn't get a chance to do an update. So I will do it today... I also have some more news. **Hybrid**, Deviant Kitties, and Ravenwear all dropped off some items for me to review for you guys! **Hybrid** dropped off neko, kitsune, usagi, and mouse ears/tails and some neko skins. Deviant Kitties sent me a mix of shirts, pants, underwear, accessories, and hair. And Ravenwear sent me a brand new outfit just released today!

Now onto Canimal:


First up is 'stripes' a nice black and white striped dress. I had a bit of an issue with the default skirt size as you can see in the picture, that or it's meant to be an oddly shaped frill. I decided when I started (though I didn't mention it) to review stuff in as default a fashion as possible when it's a set like this is, so I didn't try to edit it for this picture. After all you guys should see that you may have to edit the skirt to fit right... I do like the dress outside the prim skirt issue.


Now we have a black dress called 'forever', now I also had issues with this skirt (I'm starting to wonder about Canimal Zephyr's waist size ^_^ ), but in all it doesn't look as bad because it's black and blends in better. In fact it's hard to notice in this picture. I love the top though with the slits. Nothing like teasing a guy (or gal!) by showing hints of cleavage. I also like the texture, it's almost like a leather in fact I've seen 'leather' textures that look way less like leather than this does.

Now we have a outfit that comes in 4 options: Black shirt, black shirt with skull design, White Shirt, White shirt with skull design. and a better striped mini than what 'stripes' had! Now this skirt actually did fit correctly without altering it. However I didn't like the match to the top... That's not to say I didn't like the top, because I love the texturing and detail of the top. I just don't like it with this skirt, but maybe you do and that's just fine! I will however wear both parts in other outfits...



Canimal also sent me 2 'payu payu' bikini sets, a 'cute punk' set and a 'poka dot' set. These I'm going to hold off on, as I'm hoping to get some more swimwear shortly... Then I'll have a big summer swimwear roundup... I will say I like the cute punk set though... I doubt I'm going to find to many punk swimsuits... Are punks not meant to like lounging in the pool...? I know my piercings aren't going to rust because I like the water... ^_^


I also want to round out my reviews of Last Call within my inventory... So...

This yummy studded leather set! I love this thing... It's got a nicely detailed jacket layer which is leather with studs in it and a built-in textured studded collar. Then we have a nice white studded front top that is a shirt layer. To finish it off we have these nice striped texture pants with their own belt. Once in awhile I'll be tempted to take out the white top to show some more skin (not that I'm not already in this outfit!), but otherwise I don't alter this in any way when I wear it... Which for me is rare...

Site News & Updates

Hello everyone!

I've gotten swamped at work the last couple of days so no shopping for me... I did however get a system in at work that can run SL... Though at a whole whoppin' 1.5 fps, so it's nearly useless... But I can at least check in on occasion and maybe sort through my inventory when I forget a name while I'm writing my reviews... So that should be an improvement.

I've also been looking at buying a house RL-wise because I'm way past tired of renting and roommates... So that's taken up some time over the last couple days as well. I'm awfully tempted to over spend when it comes to getting a house... I want a pool, A/C, jacuzzi bath, patio/deck, nice yard... Which is kinda bad... ^_^

Now onto fashion news... Canimal was nice enough to send me some things to review this morning before I left for work... So I'll be taking a look later tonight and should have a review up tomorrow or Sunday. I'm also working on that really really big Pixel Dolls finale with all the other bits I picked up from there. I'm hoping to finish that this weekend... I'm also trying to get in touch with more places about taking a look at some of their designs.

Well Now I should get back to my crazy day at work. Cya!

Site News, Nocturnal Threads, and Mischief by RPD

Well I've lined up contacts with a few more places to review some of their designs. One of which I'll cover in this post (Nocturnal Threads), though I'm also talking with Canimal. This pretty kitty can't afford to buy out stores on her dancers budget! Well I could if you all come and tip me everyday, but I don't expect that! I also had the club owner at Castle Hornet take a few of us dancing girls out shopping and we ended up in Mischief (a Rising Phoenix Designs line). Where he gave us some $L and let us play... It was awfully nice of him. ^_^

Now for the clothes (Lingerie first!):

First up is (fill in the name here, yes, yes, I forgot it!) from Mischief. This design is hot... It's semi-sheer so it looks like your showing off all your assets, but you don't... I love that the top isn't just some sort of bra, but a wrap around section of fabric ala a tube top with nice red lace trim. The panties are more traditional in design, if not look, and duplicates the top for it's detailing and fabric. This also comes with the stockings to complete the look, though they aren't semi-sheer like the top and panties are. They do however have the same detailing.


Next up is (yep, forgot again!) from Mischief. This is awfully sexy with what looks like black velvet and with red and black lace. The top is a corset design which uses a jacket layer to add the lace corset fishnet part, so this can be converted to just a velvet bra look. The panties of course match the top and the red and black work deliciously together. Now this design has sheer black stockings with a red and black lace band along the top. In fact I was tempted to use those with the first outfit, but it didn't quite look right...


The last lingerie piece is this attractive number called (of course I forgot!). It's made of leather done to a shine to look like PVC with cut out slits under your bust and a zipper down the middle of the top! Who can resist showing off the underside of your breasts and zippers?! It comes with matching leather panties which look like they have a zipper on the front, but when you look closely it's more of a metal design rather than an actual zipper... I was kinda disappointed in that... I mean zippers are handy... Anyways... the extra for this set is the wrist cuffs made with the same styling as the rest of the outfit. It did not come with stocking, I just decided to keep wearing the ones from the previous design because they were nice and this design didn't come with any...

Now for something a bit different we have a 'club' outfit from Mischief called "Call of the Wild". Oh and what a call it makes! I just had to toss my spots back on for this one... It has a leopard spotted fabric under-layer for the top with a 'bra' type design in black over top of it, which is just all animal sexy... It comes with leopard spotted panties to, which are hard to see as a separate item in the picture because they are meant to stick out from the low cut black pants, which has it's own sexy leopard spotted trim. My only wish is that I could have the pattern texture match my red and black neko colors... That would look incredible on me...


Now onto some Nocturnal Threads Loving! Since I wondered into the Nocturnal Threads store I've loved their stuff... But I always seem to run out of cash before I manage to buy much of anything from their store... Such is the life of a neko clotheswhore... Well Kaia was nice enough to solve this problem for me by tossing a few outfits my way! She also included a few men's outfits, so I had the owner of Castle Hornet do a bit of modeling for me! Show Louis some love for lending a hand. ^_^

First up is a sexy design called 'RAWR' if I remember correctly. I love the concept and this comes with several parts to play with. Black leather textured gloves that come down to mid forearm lead into a sweet fishnet accented top with a interesting black and white spot patterned banding making up the edges. Their is also a second top which does away with the fishnet for when you want something more revealing! This is designed as a 'one piece' that ties into the panties included with the set whether you wear the fishnet or non-fishnet tops. It also has lovely black stockings with a fabric band above the actual top of the stockings themselves, which I thought was a sexy touch! ^_^ My only issue with the outfit is the 'skirt' which looks like not much of anything... Sorry Kaia, but I just didn't like that part... Luckily their is no need with this outfit to wear any part you don't like.


Next up is a new outfit from them called Salmonelle Which is a lovely design, though much to pinkish for my usual taste. I still think it looks good on me, but a bit more red would be awesome! ^_^ Hehe I love the reds and blacks a bit to much I think... Kaia if you ever do this in red base with black let me try it on! Anyways... It's a cute pink bodice style top that links directly to a prim skirt, the bodice has black stripes leading down the front and a nice 'black star burst' effect leads into the pink on the skirt. It also comes with the pink stockings/thigh-high socks that you see in the picture. The black velvet looking jacket tops off the design with it's nice riveted buttons and pink lacing on the arms. It also includes that pink 'neck scrunchie' prim that is very sweet... If not for the jacket, and way short skirt for that time, I'd almost think I was back in the 60's or performing in 'Grease'...


Followed by this male/unisex outfit, which I felt was so sexy with all it's straps and zippers that Louis couldn't have it! ^_^ It's ok Louis I'm sure she'd love it if you bought your own! It only has two parts, a jacket and a set of pants... But you don't need more! The jacket is a sweet leather texture with all sorts of highlight pieces in the way of buckles, straps, and zippers. The pants match, though they have these nice giant ring buckles with zippers... I wish I had a real outfit that looked like this... Oh and before I forget there is also a nice collar built into the jacket that is a different texture, much like real jackets, but sometimes lacking in SL...


Now this next one is the latest from Nocturnal Threads called 'Whisper' and it includes a ton of options... First it's a wonderful dark black... Second it has skull images on the shirt and the backs of the gloves, though it's subtle in design since it's a darker grey color, so it mixes in fairly well with the dark black of the normal texture. As for pieces, it includes a jacket, a matching dress (shirt and skirt), a pair of pants, and thigh high socks/stockings. The jacket is a little black single button shrug/crop top style, perfect for showing off what your wearing under it... The gloves are nice open finger types and the pants look like a nice pleated design, though they are fairly plain. The dress though is sweet and can easily be worn with nothing else from this set. Besides the skull emblem top the skirt is a sort of black and grey plaid pattern that is lovely...


Next up we switch to men's fashions with Louis Modeling for us! He was mildly unwilling even for free clothing, so the pictures look a tad dark... This is the 'Mael Rouge' which is a nice goth look for men. It includes a nicely detailed jacket (and shirt underneath) with elbow patches and lovely red button tabs. This jacket also uses the 'skirt' layer to make coat trails... It was so hard to convince Louis to wear anything with the word 'skirt' attached to it., but in the end I won and he put it on! It also includes red gloves to match the jacket. The outfit is finished off by a pair of black pants.


Finally we have the male version of 'Whsiper'. For men it's a long Tee with the skull emblem much like the women's version and a pair of long pants. It also has a pair of gloves almost identical to the female version... In fact most of what I said about the female version applies here. I just love the female version more, since I can wear it... ;)

Well I think that's it for now... Kaia feel free to give me more stuff any time! Like maybe... Summer Plum (which if I can ever find some spare $L I'm buying anyways), Black Parade, Bad Gretel, Leeloo Noir, Star Studded, DEATHrock grrl, GDC Ven Bowler, Petal, Whimsical.... Uh well just anything you feel like... ^_^

I did find a bunch more of the Pixel Dolls outfit pictures (that I thought I'd lost) and will post those soon as well in a part 3 to my mega update series... So expect those soon...

Mega Update pt 2: Pixel Dolls & Last Call

Well this weekend didn't turn out as planned at all, with little time spent in SL... And most of that was spent shopping... ^_^

Here is that Pixel Dolls coverage I've been promising! I didn't write down the names of the outfits so I'll update that part later tonight...


Arabesque is part of the new set of limited Edition outfits, unfortunately the lighting was not the best so it's hard to see in this picture. It's a very classic style dress in Burgundy with silver/white highlighting and designs. The pattern of choice is an array of stars. The fabric looks to be a kind of satin with parts of it possibly being felt due to the detailed texturing it has.. It's not my usual style to be sure, but it is a gorgeous dress. If you get invited to something like a ball or any other event you may want to dress up for (without looking gothic) this is a good choice. I'm wearing my lovely jewelry from the Kadin set by Solange in this picture proving how easy that jewelry is to match to most anything.


Crisalede is also from Pixel Dolls Limited Edition collection. It's a faerie inspired design that feels perfect for any fantasy setting... Or strip off the wings and suddenly you have a rather nice 'barbarian/primitive' look. Which is actually how I'm likely to wear it, which is sort of a shame as the wings are incredibly nice flexi gossamer types that flow through the air in an impressive fashion. The skirt and the rest of the dress are composed of a nice mesh of color (red in this case) and black base that offers a nice effect. As with the Arabesque design I'm wearing the jewelry from the silk outfit by Solange in yesterdays update.


Xenia is from the four new limited edition designs and it's my favorite. It has a billowing fabric top that makes me feel like I'm wearing an elaborate piece of satin instead of a 'shirt' or 'bra' or some such upper body covering... Which I rather like... The sleeves though are my favorite thing, you can't really see them in this picture, but the are flexi 'armbands' that trail long flowing pieces of sheer fabric. The skirt rounds things out, with a nicely patterned fabric and a long flowing skirt... It can easily look goth, or formal with next to no work... It's also great with a little lingerie under it... Especially lace or sheer fabric... Makes it look even sexier...


Misere is the last of the outfits from the Limited Edition set just released by Pixel Dolls. I bought it in a Burgundy as Red and black are my two most common colors (black and purple being my alternative choices). The top for this is sort of a bodice design of which their are 4 versions: with and without scarf, as well as 'dress' and 'standalone' versions. The one in the picture is the non-scarf 'standalone'. The arms of the design included semi-sheer scupltie sleeve puffs with lace fringe. The skirt is flexi and will drag on the floor if you arent' careful, but I doubt anyone buying this is going to mind. I like it and I don't, it's really frustrating. Personally I think I would have liked it better if it had a mid-length skirt (chop it off at the color change) and dropped the sleeve puffs for something else (though I'm not quite sure what, maybe cuffs of some sort?) then I would utterly love the design...


This next one is actually from Last Call (Which I believe is called 'Seduction) and it slipped into my Pixel Dolls pictures folder, but it makes a great sexy red dress, perfect for those times you feel like being a complete tease to every guy (& girl) you meet! It includes an alternative top which has cut out panels wrapping around the bottom of your bust to show even more skin in all the right places... The top is the best part as far as creativity in design goes, but the skirt is actually one of the nicer skirts I've seen so far. As with the designs above I continued wearing the Kadin jewelry set here as well.

Mega Update Part 1: Solange, Nymphetamine, Curious Kitties

Well I was waiting for my favorite someone today and what, of course, would I do while waiting...? Yes that's right this utter clotheswhore went shopping! First since search is back up (I'd forgotten to manually bookmark them!) I headed over to Curious Kitties and laid down some cash for a few pieces... Then I decided to stop by Nymphetamine and pick out a few things... That's where I saw a nice silk outfit... and decided to go silk shopping! So I went to Solange... I then ran out of money.... very very quickly... So here is a rundown of what I bought. ^_^

The first thing I picked up was this sweet dress called 3045... It comes in black and purple, but I was in a red mood... It's very future urban like allot of Curious Kitties designs. Not a bad thing however. With my current skin I do flash a bit of breast on the sides, probably a bit more than I'd want normally... But It's a shirt layer item, so you can wear a bra underneath if you wanted to... It also includes gloves to match the dress itself. The skirt is nicely slit down the side showing some ass, but not to much. I love this design, my only complaint is that it costs twice most of their other outfits in price... It is lovely though, and could work as a 'little red dress'.

Next is a puppet master outfit from Curious Kitties, this includes props (which you can't see because of my pose when I took this) that mimic those puppet rods that you use to make them move and they trail flexi 'strings' around. It's a very interesting effect. The shirt is rather nice for this design, though I'm not much for white. I also didn't think the skirt was all that great, but it's inclusion does make this a complete outfit. The skirt itself is two pieces a skirt layer and a prim skirt, the prim skirt looks good with little slits in it for effect. It however can't really be worn by itself and I found the accompanying skirt layer downright annoying. It begins well above the prim skirt and extends way to far out the sides....


This little number is called 'Subete Gothic Lolita Dressie'. I don't think it works well in the end and I think my issues with it are that the skirt looks wrong for this outfit. I actually do like the skirt, just not here... The the whole thing looks sort of... Classic by about 2 centuries, minus the skirt being way to short for that period. I want to like it, but I don't think it works quite as they planned and it looked far far better in the sign. The texturing though is awfully nice and I think with pieces from other outfits I may come up with a good use for the parts from this. Mostly the 'socks', gloves, and the shirt. I don't think I have anything to match well with the skirt or I could probably save that as well.

Now on to Nymphetamine where I picked up something called "Gildamish Silk Set". I absolutely _Love_ this outfit. It's all silver metal work on filmy black fabric. Twisting curving serpentine designs highlight all the right places and a few more areas. The fabric isn't really that important in this design, but it does provide a base for the rest of this outfit to work from. It also has a absolutely lovely semi-sheer black 'skirt' of fabric that trails and flows seductively around you when you walk in this. It comes highly recommended and for 'silk' isn't a bad price at all for what you get... It however does leave something to be desired compared to...

This outfit from Solange called "Kadin" which is meant as a Turkish Harem silk outfit. As you can tell by the picture I picked it up in Red with Silver trim... This is easily the most gorgeous outfit I've ever seen in SL. Their are a ton of pieces to this... Even more so if you buy the insanely detailed micro-prim Jewelry collection that goes with this. There is a crazy amount of detail in this outfit, if I bought silk in RL like this I'd be spending at least a grand on it... It also has more pieces then you can use at once, so you can customize the amount of skin you show... In this case I showed about as much as possible. Just me, the silk, and the fine silver jewelry... ^_^ The only downside I can think of for this outfit is the price... Between jewelry and silks it ends up costing about $1500L. It however is worth every penny... It's also currently my favorite silk set of all time.

I also grabbed this little number called "Sahara" in black with gold trim. In this picture I tossed on the short short strip of fabric that someone may be able to call a 'skirt', but I can't... ;) It does have a long skirt version, but it does not have the sheer wealth of options that the more expensive Kadin set has. Which is understandable. The Kadin with all it's lovely texturing is a very hard act to follow. This is still one of the best Silk outfits I've seen and nearly ties the set of silks from Nymphetamine in my favorites, in the end I'd still buy this if you want a good set of silks. As I did in the picture I'd also suggest pairing it with the jewelry for the Kadin set or better yet a good selection of gold jewelry if you buy the black with gold trim as I did. I am a tad lacking in gold jewelry so I went with the jewelry for the Kadin set instead.

Pixel Dolls Snake Charmer Jeweled Dress

Well this last weekend I went to Pixel Dolls as part of my review gift, I've been holding off on doing my review only because of the picture issues I finally fixed a couple days ago. This morning I took a few of their Snake Charmer Jeweled Dress, I have it in both black and red. Though I took the pictures in the black with the jeweled necklace from the red. I mixed them because I prefer the red 'ruby' gems to the dark 'black' gems. I also wore a Rose corset 'jacket' in the one picture, which I think works very nicely with the outfit. This outfit is one I love... I've even worn it out and about and want to find a 'best in black' competition that I can go to this weekend... I think it's quite hot enough I could win...

Expect more posts this week and into the weekend for other items by them!

Draconic Kiss

Well after a really really long day I'm finally posting an update....

Got a review copy of Draconic Kiss's new line of skins (that I mentioned the other day), the one I received was the Cream skin. Not the lightest and hardly the darkest. I got a variety pack of 'glitter' and 'frost' make-ups, though I have to be honest I didn't see a big difference between them.



While I wasn't wearing a bikini earlier in the pictures I have up, I think you'll be able to see the differences without to much trouble. I'd have gone 'nude', but I didn't want to have issues with visitors seeing a naked AV and complaining, so... Bikini instead. Now These skins are hand drawn and the detail is very very high. The first thing I've noticed is that the highlighting and accents on the breasts makes them look bigger, now I love my tiny perk tits compared to the inflatable doll look to many go for in SL... But this didn't actually change their size, so it's pure optical illusion. Kinda like the old secret of using make up between your breasts to make them look bigger in RL.... Not that I've ever done such a thing...

They also have options for a clean shaven pubic area or a trimmed one... The shaven one actually includes a drawn outline of a normal slit to make things look 'right' when your nude. I loved this as I saw many skins that made it look like women don't have genitals! We are so not barbi dolls and I think most guys are happy about that... For a summation of the rest... It looks very nice, in fact good enough I'd eat myself if I could!

I also felt I should toss up some pics of the spots I bought the other day, and I figured I'd review a outfit called 'tie me up' from Wilted Rose while I did that. This is an oddly casual look for Wilted Rose, as they tend to be more edgy... I like the look and even think the pink belt prim is cute. I wear it out and about where 'norms' are likely to be... The Capri's with the pink belt are the selling point here as the shirt looks like millions of others. The rolled up capri's are really nice though and I know I can use them anytime I'd wear jeans in SL.

Btw the pink ball on the ground in these pictures is that ball of yarn I mentioned! I still love that thing...

Skin Shopping...

Well my day is crazy today, so I'll keep this short...

I headed skin shopping last night, since I've decided to update my skin look... I've been using a nice skin that was cheap, it however was always a sort of rosy hued skin and that I don't like... I'm more of a night owl even though my job doesn't let me stay up nearly as late as I used to... So I should be more like my pale burn if I tan RL self...

So off I headed to every well known and not so well known skin shop: Gala (expensive and didn't seem that great to me), Naughty (didn't really like anything I saw), Sin Skins (to hard to shop at, search turned up a tiny selection of them out of the Pixel Dolls store area), Chip Midnight (I liked some of them, but he seems to go from 'tanned' to 'porcelain doll'), Nomine (I liked their China Doll skins), and Pixel Deep (Which I liked a good bit and are nice because they can change shades using the appearance sliders)... In the end however I stopped by Draconic Kiss (I was tired and was actually figuring I'd buy some clothes), when I happened upon their new line of skins... And no not the doll ones (I'm just nto the doll type), it's their brand new Renovar line of skins. I'm partial to cream and Almond (I believe). They also had one of the few skins that are shaved without forgetting to make it look like you still have genitals! I saw way to many skins that go for the shaved pubic hair look, but don't show anything even vaguely looking looking like you have genitals... So what I'm a barbie doll with no pussy just because I want to look shaved...? Well DK was one of 2 that seemed to get the idea. I'm awfully tempted to toss some RL cash into SL cash, so I can buy one... Payday why are you so far away!

Site News, New ventures, and even more shopping!

Hi everyone!

Things didn't go quite as planned this weekend, because I have been looking for a reliable way of uploading pictures to the blog (hence the fill-in spots for pictures I've taken, but can't stick on the page). I think I've found a solution however, so once I get home tonight I'll try uploading all my existing pics and linking them back in on here. Once that's done I'll start snapping more pics of myself in the different outfits I've bought...

I'll mention from within SL that their is now a 'Neko Clotheswhores and those that love them' group you can join! A group of us realized that we are just crazy for clothes shopping and so were most of the other neko shoujo we knew... So we made a group! Feel free to join up! Also I submitted my first poetry writings to a bookstore in SL. I can't remember the name of the store at work here, but I'll edit this to include it once I get home. So far the people that have seen my work like it, so I'm happy... ^_^

I did however go shopping this weekend, but it was for neko gear... In fact I spent all day Sunday hopping from neko place to neko place... I would hope most people already know about Jungle Voodoo, but their is also the elusive **Hybrid** that has a ton of stuff... Including a ball of yarn! You don't understand the kitteny goodness of a ball of yarn until you've seen it in action! I've searched for about a week now to find a ball of yarn and I finally did at **Hybrid**. Hehe my club now has a ball of yarn on the floor for neko's to play with! If I only had a house I'd have a cute little neko bed (for up to 3 neko!), but I have no place to put it so it will stay in the store til I buy it... It's cute though as it looks like a laundry basket... Stick in 3 half-naked kitty girls and you have a scene at once cute and sexy!

I also picked up a pack of Neko spot tats at **Hybrid**, so when I'm in the mood for it I can look even more neko in a tiny bikini and a bunch of spots... Or this set of leather straps and spots... ;)

Brief Shopping Spree, Pixel Dolls, & Seburo PD

Well my RL GF's birthday didn't quite go as planned and everyone ended up all stressed out, so I did in fact make it home in time to do some shopping... And I was on a fairly limited budget as I'd gotten down to something like $60L after my last shopping trip... Then I found it... A sweet shirt and tie from Torrid Wear that was cheap! And so an idea struck me to replace that bad schoolgirl outfit with a new one... So I went looking for a vest or jacket to go with it and came upon a 'sweater jacket' from Pixel Dolls... I bought it up in as dark a color as I could get (a charcoal grey color) because most of my wardrobe is full of darker colors... and purples or reds... and I want to reuse it if at all possible. I however ran out of money at this point... So I returned to the club I work at to check in and look for a suitable skirt... My plaid skirts are all red base-color designs and even though the tie does have those colors in it, they didn't work together... So hunting through my archive of clothes I went... And came out with a grey satin mini-skirt. I left on my thigh-high black socks, tossed on some black mary jane shoes, and for the heck of it added in some black lace gloves. It doesn't look like a normal schoolgirl outfit, but it does look like a private bordering school girl outfit... A tad domish for my tastes, but it looks nice and is way way better then the store bought outfit...


This morning however I got a nice surprise... I'd hopped over to the Pixel Dolls blog after visiting one of their stores and noticed a new plan to replace sending review copies to fashion blogs (I've noticed well known blogs get sent review outfits when reading their blogs)... So I figure I'd send off a note asking if I could get in on the deal... Well this morning I got my reply
, which was a nice gift from Nephilaine Protaganist. So I went shopping!

I headed over to what I believe is the main store, it's positively huge so I can't imagine it was a side store, and went nuts picking through clothes... I picked up some new sculptie designs she just rolled out and bunches of outfits and various pieces... I also checked out the partners/lines like Seburo PD... Who I picked up a great outfit from called 'nightmare', it's all red and black leather and is a complete set from undies on up to skirt and jacket layers. In fact my favorites from this outfit are the jacket and skirt layers, which are a sets of straps/belts/buckles that crisscross around the front and back... I have the feeling I will be using those with many outfits from now on. The shirt and pants are also very good, with a lot of nice detailing (though due to coloring it can be hard to catch some of the details). The undies are the worst thing about it, they would be fine except they look like someone cut them out with sheers... Now sometimes I don't mind looking like that, but I was a tad disappointed with it here. I'll probably use some black lace or black leather panties and bra (well if I decide to wear either) underneath this due to that. But with such nice pieces for the rest of the outfit I think I can safely ignore the 'undies issue'. Oh it also comes with black socks and shoes/boots (which are hard to see except at the heel because they blend), nothing fancy and the shoes are non-prim but that's ok as far as I'm concerned.
