There once was an Ugly Duckling

With feathers all something and BRAAAAAAHN…

Anyhoo! I was coveting items at Fade Dana’s shop when I noticed across the gutter/sewer/building site that there was another shop by the name of Ugly Duckling which totally explains the title. Ugly Duckling sells skins, now I know that there are a gazillionty skins out there but these caught my eye cos they (seem to) have shading for tiny boobs, and I love tiny boobs. There’s something all squishy and tiny about them and they bounce and so yes I love them. So I totally bought a skin just so I could have tiny tits. Then I realised that my av doesn’t have tiny tits so I had to go and make a new shape with tiny tits so I could appreciate the skin. Cleverlydoing all this prevented me from doing the washing up so it was a morning of win all round.

Small baps aside these skins are pretty bloody lovely. They have this whole mystical older and younger thing going on and also there is 12 billion different type (nb: May be a small exageration) which includes painted faces for your funky harajuku geisha malarky as well as having normal faces.I would show them all but I am poor (avatar shopping frenzy) so you’ll just have to go there won’t you.

They only come in pale and natural and are 1000 of your linden dollars for 2 skins.

Oh hai! Today I am mostly responding to Hybrid Ansar’s awesometastical Blog Challenge.

“We all see some ppl trying to do it and most fail, not all, but most. I challenge you to find or make a big girl/big guy shape (and I’m not talking chunky..I mean big) and style it so its super cute!”
As somewhat of a RL pie lover, I thought I’d give it a bash.

I’ve always loved people with big girl shapes in SL, people who make them look good like Brandy and Rosie, and often pondered changing mine although I seriously cannot be arsed to readjust the gazzilionty items of clothing I have in my inv, but I have shape now so you never know. The first thing you need to know about making a shape big is… IT’S NOT THAT FUCKING EASY..

I gleefully oomphd the fat sliders and ended up looking like Bernard Manning. Not nice at all.  You have to poke at every single slider to get it right.

The second thing you need to know is that poses are BAD, I think only 30 of my <insert silly number> poses actually worked and most of them involved oddly flailing limbs but anyhoo. I attempted a few variations of clothing, not trusting myself to be cute (no hormones today see) and here it is.

Quick shuffle down on the outfits from left to right:

Nope, not a reference to the problem of an under endowed chappy. But to tiny avatars. Now you’d think with my avatar fetish I’d have a fair few of these, but nope. Tiny avs are not my ting baby. You can’t really attach penii to them, most poses don’t work and you get trod on by the amazonian women that lollop around the grid.

Anyhoo, while perusing SLex I found these lil delights which are not only cute (yeah, I used the word cute, go me) but also stupidly cheap, huzzah!

SEE! LOOK AT THE CUTENESS. Okay, to an ardent tramp slut beast like myself this could be a bit icky, but I’m bleeding and hormonal so everything is allowed. The otter (cute thing on left) is slightly more expensive than the chipmunk (which was only 60L$) but as nothing is more than 300L$ it really doesn’t matter. And there are a variety of outfits but I’m particularly fond of the Emmerdale look.

You also get the NAKED one free with the clothed one, here’s some small animal nudity for your thursday.

Well I need a cold shower now (unsure)

Also by the same person is mermaid statues, these things are frightningly cool. Looking more like avs than statues.

The statues cost somewhere in the region of 500L$ but you can get a shoulder mermaid for 50L$, there’s a variety of colours in the lucky dip thinger.

Take me to the mermaids

Take me to the CUTE

When you absolutely have to outslut every mofo in the room

I have a curious fascination with clothes in SL which don’t look like they’d actually work in RL, and these trousers are a good example. How are they staying up? I mean really… Unless the safety pins are going through my legs, I dunno. Anyhoo, they are ridiculously slutty, and I like slutty. They’re low cut in places, uncut (fnar) in others, they also have prim bits too, and are nicely made thus getting a thumbs up. Lots of styles yadda yadda and YAY for flags on the legs, not just brit flags, there’s an american and a canadian one and I think an Aussie one too, so you can all be patriotic and proud of your country whilst showing a lil bit of minge and arse, fantastic.

Cyber Bunker (and not THAT sort of cyber I’m afraid)

I went to cyber bunker yonks ago when I was on some sort of cyber slut sci fi kick, but hadn’t been back recently until today when I espied someone in funky boots and found the store was located in cyber bunker. I then had to purchase twenty gazzilionty lindens so I could buy stuff.

Even if you don’t have that much money you should go anyway cos the whole place is some level of awesome. Although it’s seems to be made entirely of sculpties, so when you get there set your draw up and sod off for a cup of tea/crossword/gentle stroll/wank or all of the above and come back when it’s all rezzed. It IS worth it though, I even shoved some snaps of it at the end cos it’s all pretty.

Anyhoo, clothes. Yes there are many many things to buy there. Some good, some not so good and some that induce an early onset of incontinence.

As you can see the wifey assisted me by creating a clever bra from egg boxes and sticky back plastic (she is available for childrens parties btw), and some sort of exciting hairstyle that I nearly bought but left it for Tie who likes things like that much much more. I’m wearing some sort of exciting thief in silks outfit which has a SMURF HAT! What more could you ask for.

I had to buy the above armor set from a shop with a name of some sorts… I saw it, and ummed and arrred but decided against it, but then (in an advert for hair) I saw it and realised it had big clippy things. Ok, so I’m  a freak but how cool are they, the ones peeking out from under the shoulder pads are so full of sex and win that you should all NOT buy them so I can be unique and fantastically sexy. The outfit also came with boots, knee pads and a skirt. Oh and some hand things.. The hand things were cool as was the skirt although all prim skirts make me cry (I can’t keep my thighs together, don’t be perverse) but the shoe/boot things were a bit of a let down and don’t really go with the rest of it, but hey, you might like them and it’s not as if you have a choice right?

MOST of the stuff is from various shops in cyber bunker such as Traum, Paradox, Oralune, Alpha. Some things aren’t because Tie is NAUGHTY. Specifically Tie’s shorts, tighty things and boots which are from Pixeldolls, Bijou and Blue Galaxy respectively.

Here is a WILLIS TAXI to take you to the goodies (so you can totally blame her if it takes you the ’scenic’ route and then charges you 50 quid)

After the cut, if you get one is some random snapshots.

Beep Beep!

So, you go to a shop and everyone is there trying to outdo each other with clothes/bling/retarded gestures/tits and what is a girl to do to get some attention? Simple, just shout “can NE1 giv me 10lindens plz”. Or… you can get yourself some funky accessories that double as transport, which is better although won’t net you any free moolah.

Tie and I have built up quite the collection of vehicular attachments over the years, and although we don’t use them quite so often as we should, they’re a lot of fun to break out the funk and irritate the world at large, oh yes.

In the first picture we have a lovely lil bikey bike. Complete with stablisers for those not so sure of their cycling legs it comes from Slingray. Annoyingly Tie got hers from a lucky chair, the cheap slag that she is. Next is the Comfort Ride 2000 made by Rosalind Wrigglesworth, it’s mod and I customised it a bit by adding the flag of St Pirans cos I’m proud of my pasty munching, inbreeding, cider guzzling heritage. The lil monkey bike is actually called a Monchy bike, and the instructions are confuddling, also it only appears if you’re in run mode so you go very quickly, but it does make a nice pootley noise.

Next up is the wheelchair from RC Cluster, comes with an AO and leg cast and it is absurdly sexy. Also comes in every colour of the rainbow and a few that aren’t. Finally it’s my delightful wifey again on her Old Timer Mobile (rave edition) this thing not only has a basket but plays eclectic CHOOOOOONS over and over thus annoying EVERYONE and making it the most fantastical thing on this post! Huzzah!

The History Of Kitty

Tie and I were on some sort of nostalgia bender the other day. This is nothing new in itself, but it finally pushed me (over the edge) to doing this post which I’ve wanted to do for some time.

I’ve been lurking on the grid since 06, although I had a brief stint of lurking in 04, and stuff has changed. Things that were fantabulous and awesome in 06 and 07 now look hugely dated. Clothes, skins and hair have all changed in so many ways, sometimes due to new developments in SL itself (flexis and sculpties ftw) and sometime because someone has pushed the bar up.

With all these changes it would have been silly to leave my av stuck in the days of yore, and it’s shape has changed along with everything else. So I thought I’d do a cringemaking look at my av through the mists of time.

These is pretty much all the faces I have, some shapes got overwritten and so forth, but here you is. The first face I thought was pretty, now it just looks deeply retarded with inbred eyes. I was doing to whole anime eye thing where you have mahousive eyes and a lolly pop head.That was fun, although all my hair fit which was nice. The skin I’m wearing is the Celestial Studios/Last Call Deviant nation skin. Which I lived in. ALL THE TIME. It had major eyeliner/black eyeshadow that I still adore, oh yes.  Then I decided to get some slinkier eyes, they’re still massive though, and moved onto other CS skins. I’ve bought more CS skins than any other skin maker and I still love them even though there is no new ones *cries*.

Moving on, then came the time of my BIG change. Having poked fun at Tie for having a pin head I decided to thief her shape, write down all the sliders for my body and put them on, tweaking the face obviously, and ending up with my own pin head. I was particularly proud of myself and named the shape Tiety.

I still had big ole eyes though, and a penchant for cake skins like the one I was wearing. I still had issues with the shape though, pointy horse chin being the worst but I was stuck for how to improve. Then one day, whilst shopping in Runo Runo, I saw the most awesome av on one of her boxes. Which finally pushed me to get out of my big eye stage. Making my face rounder and eliminating horse chin in the process.

Above is me, slightly tweaked and wearing a Free Speerit skin. There’s things I’m not happy with (overlong upper lip thinger) but I love it for the time being and it’s how I’m going to stay.

Oh…. Quick bonus picture…. Below is me in 2004, I was a slut… Some things never change!

Latex HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

That was more of a completely unnecessary Thundercats reference, but whatever. Today kids, I’m going to talk to you about transparent latex.

What is the point of transparent latex? I dunno to be honest. If I was forced (at gunpoint and with jellyfish) I would say that it’s sexy because it’s making nudity even more naked, as it were. Yeah, you can walk around naked, but that’s natural (sorta) but wearing transparent latex is not (unless you’re a rare latex coated lemur). I like to think of it as being artistically slutty.

Anyhoo, I like transparent latex and have bought to you a small sampling of what is out there.

First there’s Elixir, while not technically transparent it’s still very nice. I like the gaping boob hole which is useful for storing grapefruits and other rounded fruit. Then there is Hugo’s, I like Hugo’s apart from the price, which is an ickle bit too much in my opinion, but the ads in the shop are very professional unlike some places which make me cringe slightly.

Thirdly is my new favourite. From /justB/ it also comes in a tits out version and boring solid version.

There you is!

TENTACLES!!!

I love tentacles… In many many unsavoury ways. Aside from all of that I found some pretty funky tentacles from XOPH that are fantastic for jazzing (not jizzing, just making that clear) up an avatar, romping around some sci fi sim or just being different.

I made a short (and entirely crap) viddy to show these puppies in action as pictures really do not do them justice.

As a novelty item they’re pretty pricey ($880L) and are fairly complicated but with several minutes of poking you should be able to get them to do something you want!

XOPH

Besterest Avatar Ever (until the next one)

I saw this avatar on someone at Hillcrest, and HAD to buy it, cos it’s super cool! It’s exactly the right kind of quirky cute awesomeness with it’s big ears and seriously mahousiveness tail with BLADES. Yes blades.

It also has bird feet and hands, and a HUD with options for eyes, ears, tail, hands and something else. It also has a funky typing overider that makes you look like you’re explaining things to a simpleton. Which is good!

It’s called a Qwhilla and seriously suggest you check the shop out cos they have butt loads of av’s including ARMADILLO’S… Yeah, ok I remember that advert.

Anyhoo go to Tokushi Avatars
