A couple of different new lingerie sets...cute & girlie & sexy too!

'Love Hurts' is for all the emo Valentines out there...with a graphic print tank featuring a bloody heart o.O...fishnet shrug & stockings...& a wee little heart argyle mini that can be worn 'modestly' or...not so modestly...what I prefer to start calling the 'Sasy' skirt...the type that lets you put some panties on beneath so they peek out. (We won't go into why I've decided to name it after Sasy...I'm afraid to ask but I'm sure she's being naughty :P).
I also made a unisex, t-shirt version of the graphic tee. This will be available for freeee in the DiS Valentine Treasure Hunt...more to come on that.
Also available in the DiS Valentine Treasure Hunt will be 'Hard Candy'...a schoolgirl outfit in a pretty peachy pink with a little plaid 'Sasy' skirt...a fuzzy cropped sweater with a heart cutout...ruffled anklets...and 6 pairs of panties with conversation heart sayings on the bootay! ;)

I'm slipping in tonight with a handful of pix...don't tell! ;P
Roslin Petion & CJ Carnot of Tete a Pied have been hard at work with a new Boutique series of skins...the first of which will be released sometime this weekend. The Boutique skins will be a series of small specialty lines, different from the normal Vivant line. The first in the series is the Parfait line, which features a 100% hand-drawn face & comes in 7 luscious makeup options in 3 yummy skin tones. This will be a great new skin option for those who like the stylized look of hand-drawn clothing and skins...but still want to have the unparalleled Tete makeup range available to them!! (And...if you've never tried hand-drawn skin...might I suggest this is a good time to check it out! :P)
I've been so excited since Roslin let me have a peek at them...and I'm dying to show them off...so between that and my recent Japanese designer craze...I did up a few piccies to blog! :D
The pic at top is the Strawberry Parfait 1. I'm digging the gently shaded eyes and the oh-so-sweet pink lips. (This skin has an amazingly gorgeous new lip btw...incredible cuteness that you just wanna eat right up!!)
Now...if you wanna see more sweet skin goodness....and you KNOW you do...you're gonna hafta take a peekie after the cut! Just click on the pics for a closer view! ;)
Next up is the Strawberry Parfait 6. This is prolly my fave of the bunch...as I am a complete nut for heavier, striking shadow and nude lips. I may not take this one off for a week. :P
Although...a VERY close 2nd is this one...Parfait 2, shown here in Vanilla. I have a feeling this is about to become my widely used 'everyday' skin...such gorgeous freckly cuteness I just wanted to DIE when I put it on!!
Shown here is Strawberry Parfait 3...cute rosy cheeks and a very natural look...sooo sweet! (Also my new FAVE hair btw...Pompadour from Zero Style.)
Parfait 4 is all sultry, smoky goodness with a gorgeous wine-colored lip...shown here in the Strawberry skin tone. (I featured Strawberry most as it's my personal fave.)
And last but by no means least...the Parfait 5...shown here in Toffee...all full of yummy doe eyes and once again...THE most gorgeous, sumptous, wanna-eat-em-up luscious red lips in SL.
Soooooooooo keep an eye out on the Tete a Pied Blog...like I said...these are due to be released sometime this weekend!!! Thanks Ros & CJ for keeping us purty! <333

It's that time of year when rw is all crazy, and I've not been able to focus much on work...but I've been around a little to do some fun things in world! 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!!

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
That was some great comedy relief in the last two mins of that game!!
bahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahaha
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.
Okies so...hmmm...who to tag....lessee....

<333
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!!!!
