Ok so I went back to Honey Kitty and went on a shopping spree and managed to collect more cards...*cries*...and of course I can't let unused cards go to waste...
...so my clever friend Furi informs me that if you attach a bunch of cards the thingie will stamp 'em all at once...so YAY!! And as you can see from the pic above you don't even look like a freak or anything!! Who cares if you run into your friends while traipsing around with 28225729752075927592798572985793272738 cards attached at various points on your body?! I mean one snarky remark and they're gonna be on the bad end of the biggest baddest paper cut machine in SL, right? RIGHT?!!!
Have fun CSR'ing! :P

One of the most fun things I've done this past week is participate in the Creators Stamp Rally...and I enjoyed it so much I wanted to blog a little about it!!
The Creators Stamp Rally, or CSR, is sponsored by a conglomeration of 20 in world shops who are selling designated products that have a CSR2007 Winter Stamp Card inside the package. Each shop also has a stamping machine where you 'stamp' the cards you collect. Once your card has all 20 stamps on it, you can take it to the CSR Event Hall and redeem it for a gift of your choice (each of the 20 participating shops has donated a gift item)!! You can collect a gift for each card you fill out...and the cards are transferrable so you can share with your friends if you like! Or you can do what I did and drag your friends out stamping with you! :)
I had tons of fun running around checking out a lot of shops I'd never or rarely been to...found tons of great merchandise...and, best of all, found that the gifts themselves are very, VERY nice!! There's everything from clothes to skins to furniture to jewelry to guns and on and on and on!!

YAYYYYYYY ME!!!!!
Ok so there's this place I'd had a lil shop rental for a lonnnggggg time...like a year and a half...and just before Thanksgiving they were nice enough to finally get me a lil spot inside the club all my own...deeded the land to me etc...YAYYYYY ME....
....and so what did I do? Well I'll tell you. In a smooth move worthy of the Baltimore Ravens (for those of you who saw last night's game), I went in this morning and for some fool reason turned on autoreturn on my lil piece of land...YAYYYY ME!!!
...and promptly returned half my little shop along with various and sundry other pieces of the club (like the floor just outside my shop)....YAYYYYY ME!!!!!!!
As if that's not bad enough a lot of the pieces still belonged to the original builder of the club SO they didn't even go into the L&F folder of the owner. YAYYYY ME!!!!!!!!
Soooo now I've spent the first part of my afternoon apologizing profusely and attempting to put up something half-ass...er...half-decent that will work until the owner can get the builder back in to fix it. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ME!!!!
/me goes to stand in the corner and smack her head against the wall repeatedly

Ack!! Moire got me!!! */me pretends to fall over dead*
Ok so yah like Moire I've been a blogslacker so I guess it's about time I post SOMETHING!!
So...here are the ground rules:
1. Ya gotta post (on your own blog) 8 random facts about yourself.
2. Ya gotta tag 8 more people to post, so post their names at the end of your blog post!
3. Be sure to leave a comment in your taggee's blogs so they know they're tagged!!
4. Be sure to post these rules in your own post so your victims know what to do!!
And awaayyyyyy we go!!
Stuffs about Kit:
1. I loathe butterflies. I'm not really sure why...but I have from an early age. When I was little I was TERRIFIED of them and would flip out if one landed on me. It's more like a mild digust now but...I just...ickkkkk!!!!
2. I'm fascinated by the criminal mind. I've read books upon books involving crime, serial killers, forensic psychology, profiling, etc.
3. I have a thing for that cheesy 70's music that was popular between disco and new wave. Except 'Muskrat Love'. That song is just goofy.
4. I can sing the entire soundtrack to Evita (theatrical, not film), and do so frequently while driving.
5. I would sell my soul to get the Cleveland Browns a Super Bowl victory.
6. I openly embrace my love of cheesy reality shows such as American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, & The Bachelor. Don't judge me you closet cheese-o-philes!
7. I find wit & a sharp/sarcastic sense of humor to be incredibly sexy and it's the #1 thing that attracts me to another person.
8. I'm recently obsessed with the tv show 'Lost'. I will talk to you endlessly about it if you like. You have been warned.

CSI: SL?
So a couple of thoughts on tonight's CSI:NY Episode which featured SL...nothing even approaching spoilers here so left coasters need not worry.
I've been watching CSI for years now...from the start of the original (Vegas-set) show. ..and of course I'm clearly addicted to SL so I was intrigued to see how it would play out.
While I applaud CBS' efforts at really making a splash and working at establishing a presence in SL that will probably appeal to the fans of their shows...especially in light of the nonsplash so many rw brands have made coming into SL, I gotta say...as a CSI episode, I felt it was pretty weak...as it was obviously a lot more geared as a 'vehicle' to introduce SL with a pretty light plotline. In fact...Law & Order: SVU totally PWNED them by already airing an episode this season with a much richer and more intriguing storyline that involved a fictional virtual world that closely mirrored SL.
Also...there was an instance in the show which the subscriber info provided to the NYPD by LL proved bogus. It's too bad they didn't explore that as a REAL issue that could be exacerbated by LL's 'open registration' policy. For a series that's made its reputation on edgy & topical content, I was disappointed that one was allowed to slip by.
Oh...and yah I WANT Mac's SWEET humongoscreen/mini kb set up!!!!

Wheeee Pretties!!
Presenting the Poe Collection:
Yah I managed to do it again somehow...start out with one item and end up with a whole buncha stuff! o.O
I've been wanting to do some Fair Isle type sweaters for a while...and so the entire project started out innocently enough with that and an idea based on a sweater I got from Old Navy recently. I decided to try a cropped sweater vest with a Fair Isle-ish pattern and a loose white shirt underneath. I decided to call it 'Lenore' cos some friends & I had been talking about schools & it was the name of my middle school. After doing it...I just wanted to do MORE patterns...so I decided to do more sweaters...and I decided then to name them after female Poe characters as a fitting match with 'Lenore' and the season. Sooo of course I needed some SOCKS to go with my sweaters...and since jeans were one of those pieces I'd never tried, I topped it off with some jeans and jean skirts and, well...a few weeks later...voila...tons o stuffs...tons o layers...tons o mix & match fun! *sigh*
SO anyhow...I did put them out today in the main shop...and wanted to take a few to blog about 'em tonight!!
/me takes a breath
There are three different sweaters, each with an associated legwear pack. The legwear packs come with knee highs, stockings, & two pairs of tights (one solid, one patterned to match the pattern of the sweater)...all designed to be as layerable as possible.
SO first the sweater that started it all..Lenore. As I said it's a cropped sweater vest with a Fair Isle style print with hearts & snowflakes and a loose white shirt beneath. It (along with all the sweaters & legwear) comes in 12 colors, which are available individually or in packs of 6 (bright or muted colors). Layers with the sweater vest alone are also included in the Lenore packs. Here's a cpl piccies! Props to Roslin Petion of Tete a Pied for this wonderful rosy-cheeked Automne skin which was just the perfect accessory for this collection!! :)
The Madeline sweater is the classic ski-type sweater...solid-colored with snowflake trim round the shoulders. I added some trim around the wrists and waistband...and made sure to toss in plenty of layers so you can wear it tucked...untucked...however you please!!
Last of the sweaters is Annabel, a cropped cardigan with longer sleeves and a matching tank top. The print on Annabel is all butterflies and ribbons and fuzzy sweater goodness! The tank also works nicely beneath the Lenore sweater vest. :D
Annnd last up the Ligeia Jeans...in 10 colors...available individually or in packs of 5 (light and dark washes). The jeans come on both pant layers and with optional prim flares. The Jean Skirts come with both a straight and tiered ruffle prim...or can be worn alone as shorts!
SO...whew long post almost over! ;)
The collection's available now at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby...and I'll get them up on SL Exchange and On Rez in the next cpl days!! All pieces are $L100 for a single color pack and $L300 for a color pack!
I now return you to your regular blog reading. :P
Pretties: Skin - Tete a Pied Vivant in Automne 3 Buff, Hair - Tickled Pink: Madison in Reddish Brown, Shoes - Shiny Things: Lollys in Black.

A Lil Bit O Newness!
Wheeee a little new stuffs today...kinda a mixed bag!!
Sooo I've had the intention of doing a houndstooth coat for a lil while now...but once I got it started I really liked more the idea of it as a wintery little business-y/sex-y/min-y/somewhat retro-y ish kinda dress...and it turned into just that...with some black wool tights to finish it off!! I decided to call it 'Emily' for absoutely no reason whatsoever!!! I'm loving the clean lines and simple style...and the sort of 'buttoned-up' sexiness it has. ;) Anyyywayyy...here's a pic and such!
I've been asked numerous times to delve into men's clothing...but the main problem I have with that is just...coming up with ideas. So I dipped my toe in with this little offering...hopefully I can come up with some fun new things in the future...but it's a start! I decided to call it 'Argyle' cos well...that's what it is. :P Coming up with names for men's clothing is also a new experience!! It's a sweater/shirt combo that comes in 5 colors...I provided it on multiple layers so it's quite versatile...and of course it looks perfectly cute on women as well! ;) I've included a pic of the Olive and the Pack to give an idea of available colors! Big thanks to CJ Carnot of Tete a Pied for letting me use a preview copy of the upcoming Tete a Pied Vivant male skins...and to Haver Cole of Lemon for keeping me in great shape with this 'Lonestar' male shape from her recent Track 8 series!! It's kinda weird doing ads as a man! :P
Finally...shortly after I released the 'Gidget' ruffly bum lingerie I had a request to do some in black & white...and now that I've wrestled Amarantine into submission I've finally got em done!! These are straight up single color sets...cute and fun and just sheer enough to make eyebrows raise! ;)
All these pretties are available at CKS Designs in Selby now...and will be available at OnRez & SL Exchange shortly...Emily is $L150, Argyle is $L75 Single/$L190 Pack, & Gidget is $L195.
The weekend's almost here..wheee!! <3333

YEEYYYYYY for shopping!!! <333
So I took some time yesterday to do a little long-neglected shopping and it's been soooo long since I posted up anything besides my own stuffs...that I just wanted to take a minute to share some of my favoritist things this week!! :D
The blouse from Janie Marlowe of Mischief's new *Invested* outfit:
Seriously...I just about flipped when I saw this one. Everyone knows what a fan I am of retro clothing...and this is just perfection. Absolute. Total. Perfection. Here I paired it with one of my own Amarantine skirts. (I cheated and made a lil pair of default texture undies to hide the teenie gap between the shirt bottom and skirt waistband...shhh)
The Mooie Vogel dress from Nicky Ree of Designing Nicky Ree:
All I can say is WOW. As soon as I saw this on the blog feed I knew it was DESTINED to be mine. All I can say is...as gorgeous & stunning as it is in the pics you've seen...it's 283470237527502703720 moreso 'in person'. Amazing work from an amazing designer.
The Casablanca Set from Fiachra Lach of Essentia:
Hlep!!! Does Fia have a blog?!! My friend Sasy gave me this set as a gift because she felt it matched the Amaratine pieces so well...and I have to say I was totally blown away when I tried it on. Not only does it perfectly capture that sort of 'Ali McGraw in Love Story' retro feel that I think Amarantine has...but seen up close...the detail and intricacy is just absolutely stunning!!
The Rizzo's Poodle Skirt set from Rose Farina of Rose Petal Creations:
Hi this will come as such a shock but I LOVE retro clothing!! This set is so adorably cute...what a nice twist to give us a more 'bad girl' version of the classic poodle skirt. Who among us doesn't have a little Rizzo in her just waiting to bust out? ;)
My new Leather Vixens Pumps from Tesla Miles of Tesla.
Yesh I love shoes. (Hello I'm a girl duh.) Yesh I especially love black stilettos. Yesh I am always on the lookout to spot a pair of black stilettos with a great shape to them. Yesh...these are fabulous! ;)
Okies done rambling for now...I need Starbucks. <3333
Pretties:

Sorta An Update..
...wellll...of the issues that were reported...
The Fat Packs (or Obese Packs as Gillian called them...still laughing over that one! haha) were due to me not loading the vendor (UH DUH?!!) so that's fixed!!
The packs...I did check the vendors and the stuff's there & checked to be sure others got their stuff etc...SO...all I can say is we have a case of SL doing what SL does BEST...effing things up. :/
So if you get a pack o' something and something's not there just be sure to drop me an im or notecard and I'll check it out and get it sorted for ya!!

Holy Issues Batman!
Hey everyone!!
Thanks so much out there for the positive response to the Amarantine Collection...all the nice words I've gotten make me smiley...I'm always happy when ppl like something I've made!!
There have been a few issues...a cpl ppl have said the Fat Pack vendor won't work. I've gotten reports also that the Equinox Pack was missing the Scoopneck Sweaters and the Indian Summer pack rezzed an empty folder for the Turtlenecks.
I'm headed in world now to check/fix/rectify these issues...but please don't hesitate to drop me an im or notecard if you bought something and had other issues!!
Besides having trouble with my brain sorting and packaging the massive load of STUFF...when I was packaging yesterday SL was being incredibly weird (I know..shocking) so I'm not really SURPRISED if there are a couple snags...but Imma get em ironed out quickly!! ;)

Fall Has...Fallen?
Some new pretties out tonight...a new fall separate collection that started out so innocently as a coat...then turned into an outfit...then sort of grew into this huge thing that I've been obsessed with for the past week. ;)
Called 'Amarantine' (a name suggested by my friend & fellow designer Phay)...the collection includes coats, sweaters in both a scoop-neck & turleneck style, pants, skirts, & tights. The turtleneck sweaters include some pretty little ribbons tied round the waist with little flexiprim bows to finish them off.
I had so much fun working with some rich fall colors & textures...jewel tones...plaids...wools...fuzzy knits and girlie satin...and I really tried to make this a great set of separates that's as mixable, matchable, stretchable, and versatile as possible. There are TONS of layers included with each piece...so the shirts can be untucked or tucked in...can be layered with one another as well as the coats...the waist ribbons are layered with the turtlenecks but also come on a separate layer so you can wear them with other things. (The turtlenecks also include a layer with no ribbon.) Hopefully y'all enjoy wearing them & finding new combos as much as I've enjoyed putting them together!! <333
They're available right now at my main shop, CKS Designs in Selby. I'll get them up on SLX & OnRez at some point this week. ;)
Prices vary depending on what you want. There's a hugeass you-can't-miss-it display in the big building at the shop, right next to the new release rack that lets you buy single pieces according to color and type (the 'singles' are actually color pairs...everything comes in a set of two coordinating colors). The display also has discounted packs of all pieces of one type(ie an all colors coat pack) and all pieces in one color scheme (there are 5 color schemes)...and of course the big fat pack that has all pieces in all colors and will have you unpacking and sorting layers until spring. :P
So that's about it for me for now. It's about time to go watch/drool over Tom Brady.
I'm including some more pics of the collection...it's really impossible to give you 'A PICTURE'...so it's just ideas of what's available and how they can be mixed, matched, & layered!! Happy Monday everyone!!!! <3333333333
Pretties: Skin - Tete a Pied: Vivant Octobre 1 in Buff, Hair - ETD: Amber in Auburn Burnt, Shoes - Enkythings: Talyn in Black (Pumps) & Pinson in Black (Boots), Glasses - DirtChild: DC_glasses.
