Sweet Like Chocolate

Sweet like chocolate
When I saw these chocolate avatars from Curio Obscura featured on the Virtual Vagabond Blog it really did get my gigglers going. I love the sillier side of SL and these beauties certainly fit into that category.
In the box, which you can pick up for free, you get the Chocolate coated skin, matching hair and eyes. You can then customise your look by wearing whatever shape takes your fancy. I don’t think I’ve ever looked quite so tasty! MmmMmmMmm!
Though you can’t see a great deal of it in the background in this picture I’m in the “Grumpy Old Men Fishing Shack” that I picked up from Prism in the Cold Winter Nights hunt for just L$10. The beds have several adjustable poses in them and there is a bench on the other side that is also loaded with poses. In the corner to the right of Mr Melty is a quaint little stove – a source of heat these two could probably do without!
Until next time, 

Winter Femboy Hunt – Look 2

Winter Femboy Hunt - Look 2
A little while earlier today I posted some information and showed off a bunch of goodies from the Winter Femboy Hunt and now I’m back with more!
This time, with the exception of the mesh feet from NOYA, everything I’m wearing can be found during the hunt. The “Andrej” shape and skin are from Aeva//Heartsick and come in a choice of five different skin tones. You also get a teeth tattoo layer, hair base layers and alpha layers for hiding the default SL avatar eyelashes. I failed to mention in my previous post that I was wearing the Andrej shape then too..oops!
The two tone Lythrum mesh hair is a hunt exclusive from Tableau Vivant. It works wonderfully with the skin and sexy “Snow Prince” outfit I’m wearing from A.S.S . The corset comes on a clothing layer and the pants are made using mesh. I think it’s gorgeous!
Finally the backdrop for this picture is a very pretty build from Scarlet Creative. It was made for William Weaver to display his art in and, with William’s permission, is now offered as a freebie at the Scarlet Creative store. Having shadows enabled is where this building really shines I think I’ll be using this to snap shots in more often.» View author and full post…

Winter Femboy Hunt – Look 1

I had a great time doing and blogging the Femboy Hunt back in the summer so when I saw there was another one going on I jumped at the chance to get my hands on some more androgynous goodies.

There are fifty-ish stores taking part, the majority of which have provided a hint to make things easier. All hints and Surls to stores can be found on the Femboy Hunt Blog.

Another handy thing they’ve done is add a slide show of pictures showing the gifts. This is not an expensive hunt by any means with each gift costing just L$2, but it’s nice to be able to see them and decide which ones you might like to get beforehand.

Winter Femboy Hunt Look 1 
I’m showing a mish-mash of goodies from the hunt here. The skin I’m wearing is “PinkSugar” from WOW Skins. It comes with a cleavage and non cleavage options, so this is a great one to pick up for all the ladies and femboys out there.

The shirt can be found at Iron Claw» View author and full post… which is a store I’m going to keep a closer eye on. They have some really great and interesting mesh clothes for both gals and guys.

Holo-Kitties! Mod for Blue Galaxian Feline Avatar

Blue Galaxian Avatar Mod

I wish I had the know-how and skill to create mods for avatars. Not just the one I’m wearing here but others I have too. I think it would be great to have a “one off” style to strut around in and perhaps it’s something I’ll get around to at least trying at some point. Until that day comes, if it ever does, it’s not a huge problem because there are plenty of talented people making absolutely cracking mods for the BG feline avatar and other furry critters as well.

The one shown in the pictures here comes from Winry’s Whimsey and is something I have had my eye on for quite some time. The biggest problem I had was picking which colour to get because I’m terribly indecisive like that. Even that isn’t a very good excuse though when they’re so reasonably priced at just L$299 each, but there we go!

Blue Galaxian Kitties Chillin' Out
So you tell us you couldn’t chose a colour, yet I see two in the picture…indeed you do. The cute kitty on the left is my friend Ayoki. She recently purchased the BG avatar and seems to be enjoying shopping for mods and other accessories to alter her appearance. It’s so much fun running around with another kitty!» View author and full post…

The Thingamabob

Thingamajig

I just love the picture above. It came about far more by luck than judgement but then again so did the outfit/costume/whatever-it-is that I’m wearing too.

I was having a little wander around earlier today visiting stores I’ve not been to in a while. One place I went to was  ::[P I X E L S]:: where I found the V2 GhostKat Jacket* and what a fun little item it is! I played with the idea of going bright and colourful but ended plumping for an all black number; adding a pair of jeans from Spearsong and my trusted old +DV8+ Candy Kitty boots which are sadly no longer available.

I thought I’d better add an image closer to the snapshot I took in-world so you have a better idea of what the top actually looks like. It’s made the ‘old fashioned way’ with clothing layers and prim attachments for the sleeves, hood, collar and the jacket bottom. It’s available in a choice of several different colour which is always nice.

I’m not really sure what I am, but I think I look pretty funky!

Until next time,
Kooky

Winter Woolies

NiNight Hoodie FQ
Goodness me! What a difference a skin and hair can make. It’s hard to believe that my regular Kooky shape is hidden under there somewhere. She’s barely recognisable! Especially without her kitty-bits.
Anyway! Today comes my first December post which will doubtlessly be followed by many that show off wintery themed goodies. I really love this time of year with the snow and frost making everything look so pretty.

NiNight Hoodie
The main focus of my post today is the newly released loose hooded sweaters from NiNight Creations. There are eight colours and two different versions to pick from – a winter themed hoodie with a snow flake design and a plain knitted version. 
The grey sweater in the first image is NiNight Creations offering for the newest round of Fashion Quotes and will be available there until the 24th of this month. All other colours can be found at the main store.
Happy shopping!
Until next time,
Kooky.

But Rules Are Made To Be Broken

Cmon. Rules are made to be broken

It is one thing to land yourself in a bit of bother when you can’t follow the rules clearly set out before you but quite another when you’re trying to take someone, or something, else down with you. Just look at that cheeky little face trying to convince the innocent Panda that a hug is a good idea. I know that Kooky kitty cuddles are priceless and everyone (okay slight exaggeration there) wants one, but hiding bamboo to entice the Panda closer is bad form. What a naughty little thing I am she is!

Since I picked up the box of free avatars from AnthroXtacy last week I’d been toying with the idea of getting one of the cat avatars. It is something that I’d been considering doing for some time but I’d never really been so excited by any of the ones available that I had to have it.

That said, with the changes to AnthroXtacy and the reduction in price I though it was as good a time as any to pick one up and see what I thought of it. To this point I’ve enjoyed wandering the grid in my BG Feline avatar or the DSD Ocelot» View author and full post…. Now I can add my AnthroXtacy kitty to that list!

Al Vulo Gypsy

NiNi Gypsy Hunter & Al Vulo GG

There are just a couple of days to go before the Mini Gypsy Hunt ends so if you’d like to pick up this pretty pink number from NiNight Creations you’d better get the wagon wheels in motion and get yourself over there quickly. The item you need to find is a red button.

Hint : “Giraffe found a button which brings her good luck”

NiNight & Al Vulo - Free! 

Also shown here is the latest group gift from Al Vulo. Her name is Eleonor Son of Flowers. As well as the skin this time around there is an applier for Lolas Tango included.

This is such a gorgeous light toned skin smothered in a generous amount of freckles. I think it’s just adorable.

Looking slighty different today aren’t I? Still as cute as ever though.

Until next time,
Kooky.

Lions and Tigers and More … Oh My!

On Monday the wonderful people over at Cover My Furry Butt! shared some news on their blog that I had to take advantage of. Because of real life commitments the way the furry shop AnthroXtacy is being run for now is changing dramatically. Almost all of the avatars sold by this store (including the fatpacks) have been set at greatly reduced prices.

AX Phoenix
(FREE AX Phoenix)
The real meat of this post is going to concentrate on a box filled with oodles of free furry avatars. I am not sure if you’re able to pick it up at the in-world store, but you can grab it from the AX group notices. I’m also not sure how long it will be before the notice expires so if you want to take advantage of this offer I’d grab it sooner rather than later.
AX Lioness
(FREE AX Lioness)
Inside the box you get bats, birds, deers, foxes, hyenas, rodents, sharks, tigers, lions, wolves and a box of even older avatars which I didn’t look inside yet. Each box is a fatpack with, I’d guess, somewhere between 10 and 15 different colours to pick from.
AX Tiger
(FREE AX Tiger)
All of the avatars I looked at came with both male and female versions.» View author and full post…

Oh Crumbs! Please Don’t Eat Me

Having churned out a fair few posts over the last few days I was going to take a break from snapping pictures and writing some text to go with them for my blog today. However, that went completely out the window after I stumbled over a fun item that made me squee with joy.

As happens with most things of this nature I knew right away it was something I HAD to have and share with you, dear readers.

Gingerbread avatar flower+ candy bag accessories
(Flower & Candy bag accessories in green tea. Each sold separately.)

So here it is. The quirky, giggletastic, customisable mesh Gingerman Avatar and AO from  *G-D* (Guaran-Dou) !

I got the “Surprise” version in the pumpkin shade and I LOVE it!

The wonderful thing about this avatar is that there are countless numbers of possible combinations and options so I doubt two people will ever be wearing the same thing at the same time unless they planned it that way. You can be (just about) completely unique and stand out from the crowd which makes me a very happy girl.

The Gingerman avatar is available in four different variations – including one shaped like a bear – and a selection of colours – including a burnt version.
