I am Lazy…..

Lately I have noticed an interesting trend within SL. Designers are stretching their creative muscles and moving in interesting and new directions. (Like that’s new you say..) What is really interesting of course is when they take their creative personality and stamp it on the new thing. I guess I first came to know of Lazy places on account of the Boots..(feet…?). The Gryphon Boots are one of my favorite things in SL and its a testament to this small store that partners Sakuradawn Lei and Sven Okonomi have been a part of, Black Swan, Victoria Bushfire Relief and Heart of Love efforts.

I am really happy to say then that hair is in the offing!! There are four new hairs and what I love about them is that they are texture change..so you can add really wild effects to match an outfit or just match the hair to the original colour. And I think a bit of syncronicity was at play today because as preview packs jumped into my inventory I was shooting an outfit in a pair of Woolybullies. Uno,dos … (excuse me while I cut the rug.)

one, two, tres, quatro.
Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw.
Had two big horns and a wooly jaw.
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Hatty told Matty: "Let's don't take no chance.
Let's not be *L-seven*, come and learn to dance."
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Matty told Hatty: "That's the thing to do.
Get you someone really to pull the wool with you."
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

(Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs, I’m thinking The Specials Version tho, Ok that was really random…but I couldn’t resist..)

And there you have it. Clever people, cute store, and their stuffs want to make me dance and act in totally inappropriate and reediculous ways. The new hairs will be at the hair fair with demo’s available. There are piles of tasty colours with one of my favourites being Creemsickle. I also snuck in a few of my purchases from the Nomine and Silent Sparrow Sales. (And whoever thought of these two sales in the same week has my gratitude..)

Shelby in Harajukubox City, and Neko stuff...Week 6

I have always been a big fan of the Japanese sims. I love the overall design, immersive feel (ie. like you are there.. in a real place) as well I love the different way that Japanese Designers see fashion, and reflect culture and influence this world and the RL world. Neko fashion is unusual because it really doesn't have any counterpart in the real world. It is something of a SL phenomenon stemming from Manga and Anime colliding with streetwear and an urban punk sensibility.
I have always resisted its charms mainly because it is so accessory driven and needs all the right elements to make it work. Today I decided to show you the look I came up with before touring Harajukubox City, a Japanese Neko and Streetwear Shopping Sim. Items came from various old and new Items from my inventory.

This Sim has everything for your little Neko; Accessories, Boots (or feet), Tails, Hair, Skins, clothes and there was quite a variety for the male Neko as well. I bought a hair from Androgeny which I was able to tint slightly to match the Kitty parts I had bought from the Sn@tch sale which is going on right now. Stores in HC include; Little Heaven, Kyoot, Electro Kitty, Androgeny, Canimal, Eat Rice and Neko Gear. There are also some Anime and Japanese Schoolgirl looks in Edelweiss and some of the other shops which are in the area.
