Kitties waiting for chairs...

I figured i'd post this... cuz it's cute :P

I know a lot of you guys get tired while waiting for chairs to call your letter


but just because someone took your chair that you've been waiting for long time, doesn't mean you have to attack'em


hehehe

Sanu's Collars, Jewelry, and More 7Seas Customs

So once again after the blast of posts I did yesterday...I'm chilling down and catching up on my 7Seas Customs. I still have so many places to hit up but thought I'd blog one of the lil lesser know places. ^^

Sanu's Collars, Jewelry, and More has a theme with it's customs which are Sushi Ice Cream! 6 in all to catch, some are normal and some are decorated. This is a close up in on their Tasty Tuna decorated version. The detail on these fishies and this ice cream alone are awesome!

So come visit the pond and come fishin with some of the crew, remember we're always welcome to cool places to fish, trading, and updates too. ^^

Sanu's is one of my fave shops for it's adorable items and good prices. Plus their group just is constantly tossing out gifts, a must go!

Ringtail Avie from Curious, Inc.

Serenity made me do it. She made me break out my storage alt to do this review. All my groups were full so I used (Name Withheld to Protect the Innocent) to join Curious, Inc. to get this Beta copy of a new Ringtail Lemur (Web) avatar. I should say "really nice Ringtail Lemur avatar" because it is very, very good. It may be a Beta release, but so far I find nothing wrong with the texturing (absolutely fabulous, actually) or prim work (fast rezzing sculpties). There is no HUD or complimentary clothing as you often find with Furry avies, but it's Beta (remember I mentioned that) and it's free! A note card in the box states that "the final version will have a fancy HUD" so don't worry.

And you can get a basic HUD to control eye color when you get the avatar itself. How do you do that? Join the group (use the Groups tab after clicking the Search button to find Curious, Inc. then click the group name then the View Full Profile Button then .... c'mon! You can do this. I'm gonna get IMs, but try it.). Look in the Notices section of the Group Info pane to get the goodies. You don't need to go anywhere to join the group, but folks expect an SLurl so here it is: SLurl. As a group member you can use the sandbox at that location or visit the near by store and social area.

Here is a great bit: one of the parts is named Ringtail - Hair (Get some real hair.)

UPDATE: Got this in a group notice
They are not lemurs. They are ringtailed cats.

New Blog for Shoppers

The Fashion SLurls blog (Web) is actually more of an aggregated list of clothing and fashion stores in Second Life than a commentary source. In addition to listing stores it provides Web links for designers, modeling agencies, fashion blogs, and on-line stores. Worth a look.

New @ Bare Rose for Furries

Bare Rose sends out notices about new items on a pretty regular basis, but I guess not everything gets announced so it pays to visit the new items section now and then. That is where I found these really cool bits for Furries (SLurl). The Digi Denim is L$65 and is six pairs of pants plus sculpty bell bottoms designed to work best with the hind paws of a Furry avie. Look close and you'll see the airbrushed pant leg art. The box on the bottom, Digi Cavalier, is L$85 and, as you can see, is a nice set of piratey boot for Furries.

Visible just behind is a set of tiaras, necklaces, and earrings for L$120. Really delicate prim work on these items.

Take your time checking out all the new stuff. In the time it took me to write this post the Raffle Ball thought I was pretty Random two times. Wooters for freebies!

Coke Supply's Alien

The famous (infamous?) Coke Supply is still selling her sculpty-free 1675 prim Alien avatar for just L$1 (SLurl). You might have seen the group notice for it or heard me ranting about it from time to time. I remember when she first built one for Burning Life '07 (Web) and when she gave a nearly finished one to me last September (Web). Right now she's working on an Alien-Preditor hybrid (see pic). The head is more than 400 prims by itself.

FYI ... no Animation override yet. And get to that SLurl quick ... long story, but the sim might get de-rezzed at any moment. Coke has another vendor on the Oasis of Lesbos, but I don't have an SLurl for it.

Here, Free Fishie Fishie Fishie!

It seems like a hundred years ago I set out to make custom fishies for the 7Seas^® fishing areas at the Isle of Lesbos Resorts but never got un-busy enough to do it. But while making prizes for the up-coming Valentines Hunt I was inspired to make LOVE Fish ... in eight colors!! Win them now or a custom (rather mature) t-shirt or a rainbow bikini. The clothes and the B/W fish are set to Common whilst the rainbowy-color fishies are Uncommon. I have ideas for more fishies so I hope to have them before the Easter Hunt.

Isle of Lesbos Mall (SLurl)
Bay of Lesbos (SLurl)
Imsucha Beach @ The Isle of Lesbos (SLurl)
Sappho's Point Beach @ The Isle of Lesbos (Women Only; SLurl)

Do you have a fishin' area with custom fishies? Send a note card to me in-world with an LM and I'll post it here. Lucky Kitty Crew members only, please, and if you have a full-perms pic, too, that will make the post even better.

TalTECH Has Moved

Armaments superstore TalTECH has moved to a larger location (SLurl) and golly it is nice! Three Wonder Chairs are still giving out some nice guns (SLurl) and, according to the official announcement, there are more goodies that you'll find interesting, such as Profile Picks contest that could net you L$500 every two weeks. Here is some of their announcement note:

"This store already has a larger collection available than the old store in Galleria and we have added a garden to relax in and a 7Seas fishing area, so please visit us and check them out."

"Save up to 50% off of selected items from the following brands between Saturday 24th and 1pm SLT on Saturday 31st, these items are in the main enterance of the store ..." See details in the store.

"On Wednesday the 28th and Saturday 31st at Noon SLT, the top three scorers on the ranges available in the firing range will win their choice of either cash prizes or a firing range. That makes total prices worth 13500L$ in Lindens or 39540L$ in firing ranges!" Again, details are in the store. Then again, don't bother going because I don't shoot so good and I wanna win. We need a shooting range at Lesbos.

Rezzable Cross-Platform Goodies

Rezzable (The group behind Greenies, Crimson Shadow, and other fine places) has announced Slashmeloves Prim t-shirts for the gaming platform called Real Life and metaversal accessories for the gaming platform known as Second Life^®. Read more about the launch on their blog (Web) including info on the several places you can grab freebies.

Please note there are some restrictions on the Real Life article, such as no automatic resizing in Appearance mode. Also, you must pay in £, not in $L. While delivery is not near instantaneous, the good news is that delivery will not depend on Linden Lab^® servers.

Need to demonstrate more Primative Affection? Check out Vint Falken's blog (Web) for some great desktop wallpapers.

Material Squirrel Gift

Material Squirrel has a new Profile Picks Gift. You'll see the sign for it right when you arrive (SLurl). Also near by is a Subscrib-O-Matic so you don't need to waste a group spot for the semi-regular freebies that Kala Bijoux gives out.

Grand Opening Sale

The PoP Department Store celebrates it's Grand Opening (finally) with freebies and 50% off all fountains and birdbaths through the end of January (SLurl). Other shops in the region will have various Grand Opening sales (and freebies!) later in the month. Look for an announcement from Dream Images Skins & Shapes (SLurl) but for the time being check out the Mob Vend and Prize Pyramid.

The region also features Earth Park (SLurl), a peaceful place to swim, fish, boat, and relax.

The REAL LKC Population

An invite was sent to prospective Lucky Kitty Crew (LKC) member #1589 this morning. It got me thinking "How many members do we really have?" because this was an alt of an existing member. In the picture at left at least two of the avies you see are me but only one of us is in the Crew. However, a 3rd other alt of mine is a Lucky Kitty so our rolls really stand at no more than 1587 if we count butts parked in front of keyboards and not these two alts.

Well, even less than 1587. I know of at least a half-dozen alts in the LKC. I don't want to out anyone, but I know several of your alts, sometimes by accident, sometimes because you told me. Why you have an alt is your business. I keep one, as mentioned in other posts on this blog, for storage. One of the girls in this pic is my storage alt. I keep another because she manages groups for me and is a good safety log-in for when Second Life^® issues manage to keep my main account from logging in or functioning. Some of you know her because I don't hide her, but I don't necessarily advertise that she is me (or am I her ... we fight over that all the time).

What I don't understand -- at least not completely -- are the alts that have been added to the Crew just to gather more stuff. These are not the alts made just to bump a long-wait chair (ever wonder why we have so many Q, U, W, X, & Z members?) but ones that are actually out there to acquire more wealth. Sure, sometimes I'm logged in as my other self for business or a little recreation and she happens to snag a great prize that is useful at our home or the Isle of Lesbos or other places we work. But like me, she seldom keeps the things she wins, either transferring or deleting them.

So why the alts? And how many are there in the LKC? If the number is substantial I would feel awful funny when I brag that we are one of the largest independent shopping/freebie groups in-world. Feel free to leave a comment.

7Seas Fishing @ Loco Pocos

Damien Fate has updated the 7Seas fishing area at Loco Pocos (SLurl) and "there are many unique items you can grab by fishing there, including little prizes from past events! Not only that, but you may be lucky enough to grab one of the unique avatars too!" (Web) New outfits have been released (L$250 each), too, and each comes with a fishing stick or you can get a free stick if you'd rather not buy an outfit. Regardless, use the Invisible Rod from 7Seas to do the actual fishing. Of course, Lucky Kitty Frurry Fluno jumped on this right away. Here she is with Usra Ostrich getting all the good ones. Frurry bought the Loco Pocos fishing rod (L$100). Now get down here to catch all the special fishies before she does.

Splash Aquatics

Rather than re-post a whole piece from my blog on this one, I'm simply going to write "click here to read about Splash Aquatics, swimming, scuba, and mermaids." Four freebies available from a well-marked sign when you first arrive. This is a great place to visit so spend some time between dash-in and dash-out.

Hair Editing/Adjusting

Quick post here. Hair marketer Calla recommends Linden Lifestyles' blog post "Hair Editing 101: The Ultimate Salon Guide for Beginners"(Web) and now I do, too. Very nice.
