Rosy Neko

It's been months since I dug the velvety ears, twitchy whiskers, and swooshy tail out of my inventory, and so it was with much delight that I decided to go neko for today's post.

I'll admit, I'm an old-school neko-gal - all of my kitty parts are at least a year (or more) old.  My ears - which do, indeed, twitch - are a Black set I have in a "Kitty Ears" fatpack folder that also includes Brown, Orange, Pink, and Red.  I've had them since May '07 and am not even sure they're still available - you can look for yourself at my beloved Curious Kitties [SLurl: Curious Kitties].

The whiskers and ears both come Hybrid Street [SLurl: Gnoma].  The whiskers come as a boxed set for $L75; that includes 6 sets of whiskers:  Feline Black/White, Kitsune Black/White, and Rodent Black/White.  I am wearing the "Feline Black" in these photos.  When coming into the store, go towards the small room in the back, left corner of the store and you'll find these on the second shelf from the top and all the way on the right.  My tail set was purchased in early 2007, also, and was v2 of the Counter Culture Tail Pack.  It included four tail-types:  Large Long Fur, Small Long Fur, Small Short Fur, and Large Short Fur (which I am wearing here).  Mine are HUDless because I'd purchased an upgrade instead of the actual set - I was a two month-old noob then, what can I say? - but it appears that v3 is packaged a bit differently.  Ears and tails are purchased separately now; the HUD seems to determine all else (length, thickness, etc.) except basic styles and colors (striped, tabby, etc.).  Ears are L$150 a set, while tails sale for L$125.

The skin is another new-favorite from Thalia's Skins [SLurl: Thalia]; it is the "Bella Skin" in Medium 3.  The hair - "Kiley II" in Black - is one of those great markdown deals from Elika Tiramisu Designs found at the ETD Discount @ ETD [SLurl: ETD]; you can get the entire colored set for only L$1.  Gotta love those dollarbies!

One of my favorite old pieces was this top from PixelDolls [SLurl: Port Seraphine].  I'm wearing it in Rose, but the "D Ring Brocade Corset Jacket" comes in a variety of colors and sells these days for around L$10 each.  The combination of the satiny corset bodice with the buckled straps is just so sexy and femme fatale-looking; it looks quite badass with a pair of guns strapped to your waist.

The skirt is actually part of an adorable corseted-bra dress that I picked up at Dutch Touch (formerly Willow Beach) [SLurl: Dutch Touch]; a really, cool streetwear store I stumbled across just the other day while prowling around LE.LOOK!.  The "Bra Dress" sells for L$250 and comes in basic Grey - which I am wearing - and Black.

Moving on down...  Once more I am sporting those go-with-nearly-anything "Unisex Garter Socks" by Subtle Submission [SLurl: Filatoponic], and at L$50 how can you not afford to have such a versatile piece of clothing in your inventory?

My feet are rocking one of my first pair of - as I call them - "tough grrl boots"; bought not long after I came in-world.  The "202's" in Black go for L$175 and are made by Beckenbauer Productions [SLurl: Beckenbach].

The look was completed with two, small finishing touches - "Ribbon Armwarmers" in Black (L$120) and the "Pah Collar" (L$150) from - where else? - Curious Kitties [SLurl: Curious Kitties].  Anyone know where there might be a C:K Anonymous?  I think I may need to sign up!
