I Was Weak…

… I couldn’t resist the latest KittyCatS collection.

I really tried, honestly. But they were just to cute. Add to that some matching antennas for me to wear and well… How could I resist?

Sorry for the blog being a bit quiet, but this winter’s viruses are still keeping me occupied. To be precise, I am feeling fine. But now the rest my household is busy emptying their stomachs, cat included. Really, the bugs floating around this season… it’s getting ridiculous by now!

I have managed to gain a new life-experience though: having a toddler puke into your cleavage. Interesting experience, I can assure you.

Ivory and Brown

… a Look of the Day.

Just a quick LOTD to show everyone I’m still alive! Not very alive, but a bit anyway. Because this week I was once again coughing and sneezing and all that loveliness. I don’t know what bugs are floating around this winter, but they are kicking my ass!

But on to what I’m wearing:

Well, when I put together this look, and did the snapshots, most of it was new. But that was a while ago. So just consider this to be one of those looks made from random stuff in my inventory. That at least is true…

In the hood

… a new release I couldn’t resist.

New hair, with hood, with kitty ears… I tried to resist, honestly… Really, I did! Just not for a very long time… (Thanks again for the heads-up Xaqueline!)

I tried, for possibly the very first time, to do a close-up. I did make some attempts before, but for some reason my pictures just never came out right, and I deleted them immediately. Turns out that it wasn’t my fault, but a peculiarity of Second Life itself, as explained in this blog post. Pretty amazing how you can be in SL for years, and still learn new things.

Anyway, I also decided to get myself some of Slink’s mesh hands. They have been out for a while, but I still hadn’t decided if I really needed them or not. But since avatar hands look so bad (and I was tired of editing them in pictures to look good), I got them anyway. Still not sure if I made my hands large enough though…

Sweater Cat

… a Look of the Day.

Lately I’ve been spending a lot less time inworld. This has happened before in the almost 6 years I’ve been in Second Life now. There are months where I spend loads of time online and months where I log in… and log out again. Right now, I log in, feed my (greatly reduced in numbre btw) herd of cats, read notices… and log out. Or SL logs me out, that happens a lot too.

Basically, what I’m saying, is that the blog might be a bit more quiet from now on. I’ll be around though. I’m still enjoying SL and blogging too much to say goodbye to it completely!

On to what I’m wearing. Well… it’s a sweater with a cat on it. I couldn’t resist. I apologize.

You might also be wondering why my tail is wrapped around my leg (probably not, but I’ll explain anyway). It’s a new rigged-mesh tail I bought at the SL Marketplace. It looks a bit weird when you’re simply walking around, but for pictures I do think it works. Especially because in the pose I was using here, my normal tail disappeared into the wall.

The tail comes in a black and a white version and it’s mod, so you can tint it. Which is exactly what I did.

• Hair – pr!tty (karla.marama)
• Skin – the body co. (thebodyco.resident)
• Eyes – Poetic Colors (lano.ling)
• Eyelashes – Maxi Gossamer (maxi.gossamer)

Spots and Stripes

… time for a Look of the Day.

I have, again, been making attempts to clean out my inventory. So far I have sorted a lot of stuff, but haven’t actually deleted anything. So mixed results really.

Anyway, while digging through both old and new stuff, it all came together in this LOTD. The new thing of note, are the neko stripes. They are from c( Two Cats one Cup), which is a new store, so there aren’t many items for sale yet. It’s a collaboration between Ingkeu Soonkyu of Bobtails and Sei Minuet of Lemon Tea and is located on the floor above these stores.

The Cat Lady

… inspired by pipe smoke.

I hate smoking in RL. It’s unhealthy, it stinks and apparently costs loads of money too. But SL-smoking has, of course, none of these problems. So I had no problem getting inspired by this japanese kiseru pipe.

Fellow-blogger Nicandra Laval used this pipe in the Panties for Luna photoshoot. But it was only when she posted her look on her blog, that I noticed it had a cat on it! And of course, if it has a cat on it, I need to have it.

Add to that some bits and pieces from my inventory and a newish Magika hairstyle, and you have a Cat Lady.
