SMARTMESH – Chillie – Rider Jacket

Smart Mesh - Chillie - Rider Jacket

I’m finding myself with a rapidly expanding collection of mesh clothing in my inventory – just like most people no doubt. I do love me some meshy goodness, but there are a couple of things I don’t like about it too. One is having my inventory clogged up with at least 6 different sizes of the same thing with (almost) every purchase I make. Second is the constant ‘mini tweaks’ I’m having to make to various bits of my shape so that it fits properly.

Now, sure I could delete the sizes that don’t fit my avatar, but then what if I decide to change my shape somewhere down the line either for good or just for fun and find the version I kept doesn’t fit anymore? That’d be crazy amounts of frustrating…Especially if I’d thrown out the original box with all the sizes in it

I’m hoping my mini gripe with mesh will end up becoming a thing of the past in the not too distant future with the introduction of SMARTMESH™. This very aptly named new type of mesh adapts to fit your shape which means you only need a single “One size fits all” item in your inventory.» View author and full post…

The Thingamabob

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

NiNight Acid Lily

Casual Kook
Today I’m going to show you a couple of new additions to my wardrobe. I went to check out the new Acid Lily collection and returned home with two new pairs of mesh jeans. I’ve never really been a fan of skinny fit jeans before now but these ones from MoYaz are just so nicely made that I couldn’t resist picking them up. To save a long drawn out period of decision making over what colour to pick I grabbed both the blue and faded black/grey ones.
On my top half is the latest group gift from NiNight Creations. It’s actually the male gift but right up my alley. The fit is fabulous and it’s splendidly made with little wrinkles in all the right places.
On the rest of me are a couple of items I’ve had for a while. The mesh classic chucks in black on my feet are from Deco and the beautifully detailed legacy wrist cuffs come from Blitzed.
Have a great weekend!
Until next time,
Kooky.

Agent KJ – Man in Black

MiB - Agent KJ

Today I’ve broken Kooky boy back out of the box and we’ve got a bit of a “Men in Black” Thing going on. I know it’s probably just me but the idea of it made me giggle away to myself particularly as I remembered the names of the agents in the movie are “J” and “K” – matching my initials. So today I dub myself Agent KJ!

Man In Black

I’ve quite impressed myself this time around. Agent KJ isn’t a bad looking chap even if I do say so myself. It’s taken a whole mish mash of things old and new to create him. At the bottom of it all is the *Ultra shape* I found on the MHOH7 hunt some time ago now. On top of that, after much deliberation, I decided that this months male group gift skin “Vincent” from Filthy was the best fit for my chosen shape.

KJ & AC

So that KJ wasn’t completely bald I purchased the “Shorty” head tattoo from 99Hair which I really like. The suit is a free item found at AsHmOot for the “Shaken but not Stirred” hunt. The free 2nd Anniversary group gift hat from Ronsem really adds another dimension to the look and helps to further hide the mysterious eyes that are already hidden behind a pair of Gudshu» View author and full post… sunglasses.

A Penny For The Guy [Fawkes Avatar]

Remember, remember,
The fifth of November,
The gunpowder treason and plot.
I know of no reason,
Why the gunpowder treason, 
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes
I was having a bit of a dilly dally wondering what to do with myself yesterday and then I had the grand idea of seeing if I could turn Kooky into Guy Fawkes as “Bonfire night” was just around the corner. Today is of course that day and I wanted to get the post up so I didn’t have much time to achieve my Guy Fawkes look. It’s admittedly very dark, and lacking details but I think it serves well as a little bit of fun.
I began my search for items on the Marketplace where I found a mask, hair and cape from three different stores. The Guy Fawkes mask I decided on is a free mesh item from The Land of Nodd. The hair is a dollarbie from Alli&Ali called “Katsuki” that I made black so it would fit nicely into my theme. Lastly I picked up the free “Slumber Cape” from Severian Writer which again needed some tweaking.
I was having a rummage through my inventory for black items, but there was nothing that really jumped out at me screaming Guy Fawkes.» View author and full post…

Baffled Kitties – Time to Play

I was checking out the events posted on the Seraphim Blog a couple of days ago and saw that there is another shop due to close soon. I decided to hop over and take a look at products I could pick up at rock bottom prices. Everything at Baffle has been reduced down to just L$55 which is insanely cheap when you account for the quality of the items there.

As I had a look around a few things caught my eye including the skyboxes which you can test drive on the demo platform before purchase. I was amazed by the quality of them and grabbed a couple.

While I’m quite happy with my SL home I am going to get plenty of use out of these boxes. I think the one I am showing here – Le Petit Reve - will serve wonderfully as a little studio and backdrop for my blog pictures when I’m feeling lazy or don’t have time to find setting.

While I was rezzing my new sky box to have a look at it I was joined by my good friend and the most adorabubble neko I ever did meet.. Elliecat!

We always have bundles of fun when we’re together and today we were playing with houses.

Movie Night

With darker nights and the cooler weather setting in I always think this is a great time of year to shut the rest of the world outside where it belongs and settle down with a movie or two. Of course to go with the warmth, comfortable clothing and movies one should always have something delicious to drink and far too many unhealthy snacks to munch on. The extra calories lead to extra layers of insulation ready for the cold weather- or so I try to convince myself anyway.

In previous Halloween themed posts I’ve shown Freddy, Chucky and his Bride, zombies, pumpkins and a witch oh my! Today I’m going to end this series of seasonal posts with another fantastic complete avatar from Death Row Designs. This time we have…

Beetlejuice!
Beetlejuice - DrD Avatar
Beetlejuice.
Beetlejui…..
Beetlejuice house
As always the quality of this item is outstanding. It is one of quite a large collection of DrD dolls Jaimy has been pumping off the production line recently. There is such variety in the items available at the store and all at a reasonable prices.

I’m not sure how long it will be there, but at the time of posting there is a free mesh ‘skin’ corset available for anyone that wants it along with the usual lucky chairs and midnight mania boards that are waiting to be slapped.» View author and full post…

One, Two Freddy’s coming for you..

Freddie From DrD
Three, four, better lock your door.
Five, six, grab your crucifix.
Freddie closer
Seven, eight, gonna stay up late.
Nine, ten, never sleep again.
This is the latest ‘doll’ release from Death Row Designs and it’s another absolute cracker! For today only there is a half price store wide sale where the vendors are set to return half of your money back after purchase. You can pick up this, or any of the other complete avatars, Jaimy has been producing for just L$150 which is outstanding value.
While you’re there why not check out the lucky boards and midnight mania contests? There are two more avatars up for grabs in them with the free group tag activated.
Until next time,
Kooky.

Witchy Poo

The creator of all things Death Row Designs, Jaimy Hancroft, has been having a splurge on making complete avatars over the past few weeks. Each one of them completely unique and carefully crafted. There are vampires and pumpkin headed people, witches and clowns, handsome chaps and lovely ladies – something for everyone.

DrD Witchy Poo 
Today I’m wearing the DRDDOLL WICKED which is absolutely cracking. There are some mesh components so like with a lot of things these days you’ll need a mesh enabled viewer to be able to see it properly. As well as getting everything I’m wearing in the image above you also get another couple of brooms with different animations in them.» View author and full post…

As with all DrD products each and every part has been made by Jaimy’s skilled hands.

There is some fabulous news in regard to these avatars that I’d like to share with you too. In my opinion they are very reasonably priced in the first place at just L$300 each but on top of that there are discounts available for VIP group members. There is also a deal on the clown avatars for subscribo group members where the price has been slashed down to just L$100 each and that’s not all!
