I'm in the mood for...leggings :D

Hellooo out there!!!!

Hope everyone's coming thru the grid struggles from this latest update ok...lotta great features this time around...so I guess we all hang in there as it gets better!!!!! :D

So yesterday...well actually day before...cos my avi has worn the SAME OUTFIT for TWO DAYS STRAIGHT...*Gasp*...I'm slipping...BUT...I put on the leggings from the Band Geek outfit with a skirt from Mischief...and I thought...wow I want more leggings! :D

Sooo today I made 3 little short skirty/legging outfits to satisfy my craving!

I tried to make each in a bit of a different style...so hopefully there's a little something for everyone there! My personal fave is the 'Preppy' one (big surprise there huh? haha)!

So here are some piccies AND you can get em as always at CKS Designs for $L250 each...AND...IF you're a member of the CKS Designs group then you got one of em freee! BTW...don't tell anyone BUT you can STILL join and get the freebie from today's notice! ;)

As always I tried to make the pieces so they'll work nicely with other things...I'm a dedicated wardrobe masher myself...<3

OH...also I put the 'Preppy' outfit into one of the Mobvends...as ppl seem to have been using those and getting good deals! So as long as I'm getting positive feedback on em I'll prolly just try to keep them updated with new stuff as it comes out!

Ok I'mma stop rambling now..enjoy! :D

Happy Monday!!

Helloooo out there! :D

I just finished these cpl little goodies. Just some little skirt outfits I've had on my brain...and ALSO something to test out this new MobVend dealie I've been wanting to look at. I've put each of them into a MobVend just to see how that goes...so any feedback on that is welcome!

Unfortunately the sets I put into the MobVends are no txfr SO traditional vendors are also out with the normal, transferable sets. The MobVends are at the main shop only, of course...and it remains to be seen if I see performance issues etc from it.

Soooo that's about all the news that's fit from me today...:D

These are of course available at CKS Designs for $L275 each (OR less...a lot less...possibly...depending on that MobVend thing:D)!

Newww Stufff?!!! WOW!!!

Ok so...now that the Thanksgiving holiday is over and I'm stuffed to the gills with mom's turkey & gravy and I'm all home again...time to get back to some work! <3

Tonight I have a simple, fun little outfit called 'Playful'...in 6 fresh, yummy colors! It's actually something I started a while back and hadn't finished...and had just sort of lost in my massive, asset-sucking inventory. Then on Thursday morning when I was bopping around waiting for the hubby to be ready to get on the ROAD already...I found it and thought..HEY...why did I never finish that?!! So...here it is! This top is also grreat with jeans! :D

OF course I'm including pix...and of course they're available at CKS Designs for $L225 each!

Hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving this past week had a great one!!! :D

XOMG!!!! Skin Mania!!!

OHhhhhhemmmmmmmmmm......I may be in love <3

I finally made it over to Tete A Pied's new shop in Nouveau to check it out...AND check out these new redhead skins Ros has been promising...and all I can say is...XOMG!!!!

CJ & Ros have treated us to a lovely, slightly sunkissed redhead skin tone with that gorgeous, creamy tete a pied finish...in some wonderful variations on their different make-up lines.

I've included some pics here but trust me...pics can't do it justice...you MUST go snag a demo and try it on for yourself!!


TaP Redhead Seductress Scarlet


TaP Redhead Gamine Apricot



TaP Redhead Enigma Salmon



TaP Redhead Trendy Copper (my personal favvvve!!)

If you've never tried Tete A Pied skin...shame on you!!...and here's what makes it fabby (apart from the excellent quality): Each TaP skin line features an entirely different 'look' to the make-up. As you can see from the pics above...the looks vary widely. It's a lot more than just putting new colors of make-up on (although different make-up colors are available in each line)...each line has an entirely different personality...and that makes TaP skin unique in the SL world.

Anywho...have I prattled enough?! Just go to Tete A Pied and try some on for yourself already...:D

Pretties: Hair - ETD Couture: The Updo in Citrus, Earrings - Lassitude & Ennui: Gwanwyn in Silver, Jacket - 7 Deadly Sins: Intrinity.

Ok so...

...nopers...I didn't die or anything...as those who have seen me iw will attest to! The evil copybot has not absconded with me and left a non-working evil doppelganger in my place! <3

I have, however, been lazy about work and more into catching up with some friends, working on non-clothing projects (like the shop remodel), and generally having some fun on the grid. All work and no play makes Kit a cranky pants...or something like that!

So I'll be getting back to that work thing soon...but I wanted to post up some pics of something really fun I did last night in SL...avatar chess!!

Last night at Creative Commons on a giant chessboard, 31 other players & I participated in a chess game organized by my friend Barney Boomslang. Grouped into two teams (white & red), with a leader guiding our strategies in separate group chats, we wore chess piece avatars (also created by Barney) and played out a living game of chess.

There were a few issues at the start (sim limits...some lag...getting organized etc.) but in the end it was a resounding success with the white team (my team...OF COURSE) winning the game as the red team ran out of time attempting to plan a strategy to overcome the brilliant strategy laid out by our fearless king, Ahmad Hosho. :D

Anyone interested in participating in Avatar Chess can join the group "Avatar Chess" (it's open enrollment) and/or speak to Barney Boomslang or Bibi Book about being assigned to a team. Barney's chess avatars are available for free at the landmark listed above! <3

Here's a shot of the board as the players stand at attention waiting for the game to begin!


The White Team (my team we wonn yeyyyyy!!!!!)


The Evil Red Team!!!!!


The game in progress...I'm the white knight closest to the cam! <3

Thanks to Barney and all the organizers & creators for a fabulous fun event!! Y'all join the group and come on out for the next one!!!

...after having a little fun last night running around to a cpl clubs w/some friends (something I hardly ever do in SL!)...I got inspired today to make a fun little clubby type dress...and here it be...'Jawdropper'...just in time for Saturday night!!

It's a short, shimmery little one-shouldered number in three colors that I decided to call 'Hot'...'Cool'...and 'Smouldering'. I also tossed in a lil simple pair of matching stockings! <3
