Reality Bites

I'll give the floor over to my RL counterpart for a little bit.

Hihi. I haven't forgotten about Second Life. In fact, I still try to let Elisha out of her box to play as often as I can. However, events in RL have made this difficult as of late. Nothing bad, so don't get all hoodilydoo over me-- just irritating.

First, I switched departments at my job. This isn't an irritance. :) What is, though, is the trusty happy little laptop that I used to do my work in the old department... had to stay with the old department. This significantly impacts my access to SL, as my normal desktop computer at home is in an inconvenient part of the house and runs SL rather sluggishly. So most nights I don't bother anymore unless I really need my fix. Plus, my personal life has become of rather nice happy priority after work hours (sometimes, relationships rock!) and I haven't exactly -missed- SL per se...

That doesn't mean I don't still try to get on. The workstation I now have access to on Sundays runs it... slowly. I'm afraid I really can't sail anymore, at least from that one. The stations I have access to the rest of the week run it much better, but my actually being in front of one of those is slim.

Either way, it means that 1) I'm not really on as much as I used to, nor as much as I like; B) my boats are all undergoing a good bit of overhaul and cleanup, as I'm not going to be able to sail them for a little bit; and III) no new releases for Elishious for a while, as I really have nothing I can reliably run Photoshop on anymore. This last also affects the reopening of my Mowry store, as well as helping the wonderful Indigo Mertel with finishing the rebuilt and improved Mowry Village (sorry, Ind).

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, however. I do get quarterly bonuses. If my stars align and the winds stay steady and calm, I'll have enough to buy a moderately decent laptop sometime in the first half of October; then, I'll be able to stretch out on my couch or porch (if it's still warm enough) and work on things and play and be the normal cute furball you're no doubt either used to or annoyed with.

Until then, as usual, fair winds and following seas.

Mew?

Ok, yes, let's have some tuna now, o kitty in my head.

=^_^= Keep me happy, yess, or I'll shed inside your brain.

Itchy.

ACA-SL Cup Winner Announced

Congratulations Eugene Sodwind for winning the 2007 ACA-SL Cup! It was a very hotly contested match against M1sha Dallin, but he turned it into a win at 3-2.

WTG Eugene, M1sha, and everyone from 9th.com, Alcatel-Lucent, and TruCor that brought this series to life.

In the Village

Spearheading the reconstruction of Mowry Village, after the old village's utter devastation in the wake of Typhoon Domela. It's coming along nicely; we're working on the village square now (it's fun to fall in the well :) and probably on the lower village next. Almost ready to begin inviting shopowners to return and reopen, which will be a very exciting day for all of us.

Of course, all the work can make kitty goofy-weird. Which explains, probably, my hair.

New at Elishious

More delishious newness... more undies and a fabulous amber cream and gold gown!

First up, two supercute pairs of boy-brief style hiphugger panties. One is pink with little cherries on the front (hee!) and "So Sweet" across the back; the other is for the nautically-minded and features a little sailboat on the front and "Sail Away" across the rear.



Finally, the Natalya gown: luxurious amber satin cloth shapes a calf-length gown with a handkerchief hem; gold fleur-de-lis detail on the front of the fitted bodice that is echoed around the hem. Five straps gather at the shoulder and fall as a single strap down the back, and I've included an optional sheer one-shoulder flexi cape that can attach to the gather in the front for extra float factor. =^_^=



The undies are a bargain at only L$10 a pair, and the gown a steal at L$150. Of course, I've linked the images here to their respective SLExchange entries.



Fair winds!

New! Butterflies!

One of the first things I made was a purple tube top with a butterfly on the front. I admit... I made it because it's something I really had in real life at one point. *laughs* didn't wear it much and don't own it anymore, but it was so very, very cute and I wanted to tribute it by letting it live on virtually (plus, it looks much, much better on the virtual me than the flesh and blood one).

But kitty didn't stop there, no, and now I have some new butterfly releases (on SLExchange for now, and the images link to the entries) and soon to come in my boutique in Scafell.


The tank tops are L$20 each; the long tank is on jacket layer and the regular tank is on both regular and undershirt layer.

The undies are L$10.




Hmm. And now everyone has seen me in my underwear. :P





Oh well. I guess that's the danger of being your own model for most everything! =^_^=

Coming Soon

"Alyssa," a long comfy halter-style top in snug, stretchy brown and tan leaf/heart print.

I Like Daiquiris

And of course, you need a blender :)

which is a very weird way of saying that I just downloaded Blender, and am going to try to use it to make my clothes textures look much more... more. =^_^=
