Candy-Striped Leggings from Tweet!

Hello again! :3

I just put out 13 new pairs of leggings that I made. (Maybe I went overboard?) They are available on all layers and are mostly sold in sets of two. That is, except the licorice inspired pack that has 3 pairs of leggings (just because!).







These and the rest can be purchased at Temenos.

New from Tweet

Hello! :3

Two new sets of leggings are available from Tweet. Each set has 3 different pairs of leggings, all of them available on both the pants and the underpants layers.

These can be purchased in Temenos by the telehub. Also, there's a retirement sale going on for all the old items (in the white boxes). Get them before they disappear on Jan. 1^st.

Working Again...

Yus, I am actually trying to work in Photoshop some again. I have zero energy most nights after work, but I am gonna give this a shot anyhow.

Sumire Mochi of Tweet, my Second Life and Real Life love, is also working to jumpstart her own brand, so we are integrating our efforts by doing small, simple themed ideas to start out. We will decide on something we both have an interest in making - this first effort is leggings - and then challenge each other to do our own takes on the theme.

First new releases in ages will be coming soon, and will likely coincide with a complete re-design of Temenos that we have in mind to start first of June.

=^_^=

40 Days in the Desert

So...yeah. I am still alive. Mostly. Haven't had much time or motivation to be here in the last 6 months, and I haven't touched photoshop in so long I don't remember where the icon is anymore. But, I am alive.

I am sure no one reads this anymore, or remembers who I was even if they do. My old business has died down to a trickle, and I have faded into the flood of newer designers who actually...you know...release stuff. But, I kinda needed to start posting here again for myself if for nothing else. So here I be.

Despite my lack of time to be online, I am hanging around Second Life again a few nights a week once more. Boneflower, Temenos, and my other businesses and brands are all pretty much dead, and my hopes and dreams of ever again making my living from SL as I did for so many years is buried now in the grave it belongs in. But, I have been thinking at times that I may someday still get back to designing a few things just for the fun of it. My life is so different now. But I still love the sheer creative impulse of design. So, maybe it will yet happen.

As for Temenos...I am barely keeping up with the payments of the island and have considered what might happen within the next six months if my sales continue to decline to the point I can't afford the sim any longer. But for now, I am limping along. Though Sumire and I have considered totally rebuilding the island at some point, I just don't see when we will ever have time. At least in the coming year.

Well, that is enough rambling for one stormy morning. *Hugs to all from Zoe the Crazy Cat Lady*

True Courage

“I will participate in the demonstrations tomorrow. Maybe they will turn violent. Maybe I will be one of the people who is going to get killed. I’m listening to all my favorite music. I even want to dance to a few songs. I always wanted to have very narrow eyebrows. Yes, maybe I will go to the salon before I go tomorrow! There are a few great movie scenes that I also have to see. I should drop by the library, too. It’s worth to read the poems of Forough and Shamloo again. All family pictures have to be reviewed, too. I have to call my friends as well to say goodbye. All I have are two bookshelves which I told my family who should receive them. I’m two units away from getting my bachelors degree but who cares about that. My mind is very chaotic. I wrote these random sentences for the next generation so they know we were not just emotional and under peer pressure. So they know that we did everything we could to create a better future for them. So they know that our ancestors surrendered to Arabs and Mongols but did not surrender to despotism. This note is dedicated to tomorrow’s children…” - an Iranian blogger, with more courage than most of us will ever know.

Link Arms With the Citizens of Iran

Go Green in Support!

In most of the world we take our votes and our freedoms for granted. So much so that most people rarely bother or care to exercise their right to be heard in elections these days. Yet, right this very minute hundreds of thousands of people are standing up and speaking out; risking their very lives demanding that simple set of rights we all seem to take so casually.

The Iranian election was stolen from its citizens this week, and the government has responded to demands for new elections by throwing foreign news agencies out of Iran, blocking all television and internet news in and out of the country, and beating and killing those protesting for their votes to be heard. Our only sources of what is happening inside Iran come from people just like you and me, who have braved the police and government's threats and violence to come out and protest and send us images by cellphone and twitter of what is happening to them in that now-isolated country.

Please, please look at the link below and see what is going on in a part of the world you may have no knowledge of or link to. Open your eyes and see what is often demanded of those who seek freedom. If you are as moved and staggered by these events and images as I am, I ask you to stand in solidarity with the citizens of Iran and display green on your blogs, websites, and clothing. Show the world, and the government of Iran, and most importantly those fighting and losing their lives for what we so often claim to hold so dear, that we support free and fair elections in Iran and stand with our sisters and brothers there...regardless of nationality, religion, or ethnic background.

Have Laptop, Will Travel...

Los Angeles Awaits

As indicated on my other blog (see The Broken Doll in the sidebar) I am preparing to make one of the biggest moves of my life. I leave for Los Angeles in 2 days to try to locate a place to live and a temporary job until Second Life can once again support me. Within a few short weeks I will be completely transplanted to the other side of the country. Seems more like an alien world at this point.

This means I will be slowed a bit in my attempt to re-invigorate the business here in SL. However, nothing has changed you can be sure. My plans remain the same, and as soon as I am settled back into a halfway decent routine, i will be picking up where I left off, designing lots of new scuplted outfits. I am very hyped for it. But the move must come first. :3

At some point after the move I also plan to redesign Temenos once again. So, feel free to start letting me know any complaints, praises or ideas concerning the old build and the current one to help me better know how to re-design the sim. All feedback is welcome.

In the meantime, as things are in flux, you can always follow the progress of my insane life and the move on the other blog. If you were so incline. Which I am sure you are not. :p

Wish me luck. I am gonna need it. @__@

NEKO BOIS! NEKO BOIS! NEKO BOIS!

NEW RELEASE SALE @ ~ Voodoo ~ at Temenos ! :: February 8th, 2009

Voodoo Male Neko Skins :: Version II -

Yes, the long-promised Version II release of my totally redesigned neko skins for the men is here! Eight skin tones available, including a new darker black, and a lighter grey. Each skin tone has been reworked to make each more unique than before. Each skin tone has three versions available for the release: Leopard, Tabby, and Tiger. Yes, the Tiger striped skins I promised ages ago are finally out. Now for you guys too! :3

These Version II :: Voodoo :: Neko Boi skins are designed specifically to compliment and serve as counterpart to the female Version II skins released in November of last year.

I have started with 3 eye makeup styles similar to the girls versions, and a basic selection of both clean-shaven and bearded combinations per skin style. (I plan to later add some actual lipstick and makeup choices beyond the lipgloss version I have now for the guys once I decide exact looks.) In addition, each skin purchased comes with both natural and shaved pubic choices this time around, as requested by some of my femme guy friends.

I have, as well, reworked the old neko ears and tails with new textures to match these Version II skins, and included a basic set with each skin free of charge.



Just a few samples of the men's skin options up:

Summer Has Come to Second Life!

Sundresses for New Years!!

They say misery can inspire the artist. In my cause, I think it's more the attempt to avoid thinking about my misery that has inspired these new dresses. Normally I love winter. Snuggling tight under blankets in the cold, the snow; they all have fond memories for me normally. But this year, with no one to snuggle with any longer, I feel perhaps this season has worn out it's welcome with me. These sundresses are the result of my thinking forward to warmer times, literally and figuratively.

There are six patterns, all rather retro, so hopefully there will be something that will appeal to everyone. The clothing layer is available on both jacket and shirt and pants for some options in dressing up. So, if you are like me right now, and ready for summer, come by and grab one of these cute numbers!

The Great Wall of Pants

Seems I have been in a totally pants mood lately...

The result has been maybe a bit extreme, but then I am known for my extremes if nothing else I suppose. After the brocade pants I did last week, I decided to give some jeans a go once more. I had been wanting to do some more jeans for some time, and why not now while pants were in my head anyway? However, it didn't stop with a pair or two of new jeans. Oh, no, it didn't stop until there were dozens and dozens of designs up and I had created The Great Wall of Pants:


Here you will now find pants of many designs, and of every country I could force my small mind to recall (please...if your country's flag is not on a pair of my pants, do not feel it is an intentional slight. I am old and forgetful, nothing more.), as well as messy pants, splattered pants, bleached pants, Tinkerbell pants (I am a Tink fan) and flaming pants.

These jeans are low-rise, but very few of them are overly "girlie", so the guys can wear em despite the images being of a female model. Later I will make a few standard waist pairs of the more popular styles, for those who dislike low-rise pants. As always, No transfer, so I can replace them. For now they are each sold separately. Later I will offer some sets at vastly reduced price once I get around to packaging them up. But at 75L$ I don't think they are overly expensive even for newbies.

Just a few examples:







As always, feedback is not only welcome, but greatly appreciated.

These new jeans are on the 4th floor of the new Boneflower building at Temenos Place. The "Clothes"option beneath the Boneflower Name on the teleporter will take you on up for those in a hurry.
