Sculpties?!

Bleh. So I've been dealing with an early fall cold that's kept me sidelined and/or in a semi-comatose NyQuil fog for the last few days...BUT...I managed to get out a new outfit last night that I've been working on that marks my first foray into sculptie prim use (Dun dun dun...scary!).

'Parker' is a pantset with a tank top that was giving me some issues. It's a really cute, sweet little top...with a lace front and bow accents...but I wanted a bit of a flared bottom with little ruffles. Initially I tried using the skirt layer...but was just...not happy enough with my results...then decided to bite the bullet and face my sculptiephobia...and see if I couldn't get something more to my liking with it. (Huge thanks to Phay for the sculptie advice...it was a godsend!! <3333.) Sooo after much fiddling and tinkering etc...I got a result that I'm pretty happy with!! So...the tank has a 'finished' bottom...making it wearable with or without the sculptie bottom...anddd I paired it up with some low-rise plaid pants that have optional sculpted flares. All in all...I'm tres happy with it...esp the top, which I've been running around in with my Gidget panties. :P

Anywho...she comes in 8 colors...$L195/single or $L750/pack...available of course at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby, as well as SL Exchange & OnRez. Leaving you with some piccies!! <33333

Stuff 'n Crap

So...about a monthish or so ago I blogged about our CKSD shop rebuild...basically saying 'hey...it's done'...and not much else. :P

Therefore...I thought it was about time I talk just a bit about the entire scope of that project...we started it in the spring...and it just seems like the summer has flown by so fast...just catching up and keeping up has been a task! ;)

So...I had taken quite a break from designing...I did a few things around V-day...paticipated in the RFL clothing fair...and beyond that had just really needed a break from all of it. Instead...I had been spending my time on DiVAS...working with CC on the new sim we got for our homes...and just...kicking back and enjoying SL some. :)

However...when the time came around and CC started working on the new shop (which is faboo...she outdid herself with the new build!)...I realized there were a few other projects I needed to tackle before turning back to creating new content...I call them my two hell-projects. :P

One was a total assessment of my CKSD inventory...re-evaluating...repricing...etc...and WHEEEEEEE I had not realized how much inventory I really had until I started in on it. I knew I had a lot of older content that was not up really to my current standard of work...and I felt it needed to be retired or repriced accordingly. The result of this is...upstairs in the new shop there's a 'Bargain' section with drastically marked-down/freebie older stuffies. Assessing...repricing...relisting on SLX/OnRez...all of that was just a huge time eater...and it took a while to push through it.

In addition/concurrently with that was the fact that we decided to re-do the old ads to be more in line with the new shop design as well as more uniform overall. Since CC was already busy to the hilt with the build itself...I tackled that job...and...once again...helllll project. Recutting all of the ads...reuploading...redoing the vendors...and then updating the pics on SLX/OnRez...again...it was all just a huge job...what a sigh of relief I breathed when that last pic went up on OnRez. :P

So...there's that...there's updating some rental spots which I hadn't touched in a while...bleh blah...and then of course today I've been working on updating the 'ol blog here...I had tons of broken links etc...removed some things...added some things...put in some dynamic link lists which I looooooooooooooove...and generally cleaned it up a bit. Now if only I could figure out how I managed to uncenter the entire thing...

/me sighs

Anyhow there you go...my ramble for the day...just updating y'all on my SL and STUFF.

I need food. :P <333

When Good Girls Go Bad...

Yus...new pretties today at CKSD!! Well actually new pretties last night but I was too zonked to blog. :P

So I have to admit...when the idea hit me to do a more 'hardcore' version of the Gidget lingerie...the first person I thought of was Sasy. We've had many convos during the time I was making the original set (which btw...Sasy named) and since about how much we love ruffle-bum panties. :P

Making the Domina outfit was tons of fun...and so I really wanted to push on into something more of that style...and I loved the idea of a sexed-up version of a sweet lingerie set...and so it formed from there. 'Gidget X' is the result...a strappy, fetish-y, latex version of the original. The entire time I was working on it...I had no idea what I was going to call it...but used the 'working' title 'Gidget X' for the files...and after a few days it kinda grew on me. So...there she is. As in the Domina set...a nipply and non-nipply version of the top is included...and again at the great suggestion of Sasy...I included a version of the panties sans stockings...as well as tons of layers per the usual. I really loved working on this one...AND...thanks to my friend Val for showing me where to find the awesome whip. :P <333


'Carrie' is a shorts set with a vest-style top. I wanted something versatile...and so the top is 'finished' to work with or without the babydoll ruffle. The top is also a great piece to wear over tee-shirts etc. It's a nice set made of basic pieces that'll stretch nicely but don't look 'basic' at all.



'Miranda' is a sweater-knit dress with a style that's very reminiscent of the 80's to me...the colorblock stripes...and the colors themselves...and just the style of the dress overall. It's sort of hard to see in the pics but the stripe pattern narrows to a series of thinner stripes down the body of the dress. I couldn't decide if I wanted to be short...or *really* short...so I provided both options. The *really short* version can be worn sans glitch pants, if that's your thing. :P



'Gidget X' is $L265...'Carrie' is $L165/single or $L330/pack of 4...and 'Miranda' is $L170/single or $L425/pack of 5...all avaialble now at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby, as well as SL Exchange & OnRez.

A Little Sweet...A Little Spicy...

YAYYYy...a couple of late releases tonight @ CKSD...chock full of cute & sexy goodness!!

So...I love trying out new things...experimenting etc...and I've been wanting to delve into something like this for a little while. Hence tonight's first release, 'Domina'...a latex-y...skin-baring coat that comes with a little (very little :P) pair of booty shorts (though I find it equally at home with a pair of jeans). The coat has an open front...with cut-outs in the front and back. The version in the ad is a bit uhmm...nipply...but, at the excellent suggestion/request of the lovely Sasy...a more 'modest' coat is also included sans nipple effect. (A funny request for someone whom, on first viewing said...'dip the back more...show a little crack'...:P). I had a lot of fun working on this one...so maybe I'll delve a little more in the future...we shall see. Here's a piccie! <33


Today's other release is completely different from Domina...a cute little ballet-inspired sundress that I chose to call 'Sorbet' because that's what the colors reminded me of. The dress has a simple tank-style bodice with ribbon trim at the waist & zipper detail in the back, with a sweet little girly skirt overlayed with tulle and tried off with a big bow in the back. The dress is very short...but...if you're so inclined...it's perfectly wearable sans the included glitch pants. ;) She comes in 5 sweet & yummy colors...and here are a cpl piccies for your viewing pleasure: :P



'Domina' is $L245 & 'Sorbet' is $L140 single/$L350 pack of 5...available now at the CKS Designs Main Shop in Selby, as well as SL Exchange & OnRez.

Happy shopping!! <3333
