Ship Shape July 31, 2008

/me kicks self

Duh. I do have something worthwhile to post! I almost forgot!

SEND ME YOUR SHAPES!!!

Ok, let me explain

One of my goals for my shop Royally is that I want to celebrate diversity and that includes AV sizes. I realize how much people can and will change their shape to better fit clothes “off the rack” and that sucks.

Additionally, as I’m working on stuff for mai store, some of the things I’m making could perhaps be a tricky fit for a variety of shapes and sizes. Sometime in the future, I will introduce a super cool awesome brand new innovative new thing I have planned to help with this, but for now, I need a little help, and you providing me a copy of your shape will definitely help me.

Obviously, if you bought rather than made your shape, you prolly can’t send it to me, but you can tell me where you got it and I can pick up a demo if one’s available.

But I think many people make their own shapes, and I would love to be able to have a variety of shapes to test on and create different sized/fitted prim bits. So I will probably test fit on a lot of different shapes and will use some as the basis of different size versions, meaning they could fit you perfectly!

Feel free to lock up the perms if you want; I promise I’m not going to give away, copy, wear your shape around town, try to impersonate you, or steal your cupcakes.

OK, I might steal your cupcakes.

SO!
If you make your own shape and want to share it with me (PLEASE?!?)… do the following:
-Make a copy of your shape.
-Change the name to “YOURNAME’s shape”
-Change the perms any way you want.
-Drop it on me (QueenKellee Kuu) in world.
-If you also have a dress shape (system skirt shape) feel free to also drop it on me as well, marking it as your dress shape.

If you have a purchased shape:
-Send me a notecard telling me the store name and shape name/creator name.
-SLURLS appreciated but if you don’t have ‘em don’t worry about it.

YES BOYS, you too! Unless you don’t want any of the clothes you keep bugging me to make….

YaY for shape freedom!

Warning Bore Factor July 29, 2008

When I’m working so much on stuff, I feel like I don’t have  alot to share. That my posts would be boring, especially cuz I’m not ready to show off anything I’m working on just yet.

So here’s that post. Sorry so boring.

I’ve been working like crazy on clothes and am proud to say I’ve gained critical mass, wherein I spend a decent amount of time each day working on stuff and am seeing myself get faster and faster and better and better. I’m deciding what I want to open with and also the plan for the 2nd, et al release. I’m spending time thinking and planning how I want things laid out in the store. The poster designs and naming things and thinking about where you buy things like lucky chairs (found ‘em) and prize camping (looking). Wondering if FashCon is still relevant (since far too many people are annoyed with/turning off notices). Thinking about some of the cool customer service things I want to implement (for which I will need to hire a custom scriptor, so they will have to wait until after I open and am generating a bit of cash flow in order to pay them what I’m guessing I’ll need to pony up).

But I did take a bit of time off from creating this weekend to stalk some lucky chairs and run errands and wear somebody else’s clothes. And I maked a purty picture that I like a lot.

finally finally updates July 22, 2008

yah, sorry, I been quiet.

Krusty is doing sooooo much better. Actually it was only this past weekend that he REALLY started to act like his old self. Still a few lingering issues but on the whole, he’s a brand new kitteh! Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers. He says “Merrmemm”

Of course now that I don’t have to worry so much about Krusty, I’m starting to feel a bit crappy myself. Worst is these headaches I’ve been getting, and crazy sneezing allergy attacks. It puts me in a weird and anti-social mood. So I’ve just been laying low a little bit. In SL I’ve mostly been logging in to work on my clothes and store.

As an example:

Yes, I know that it looks like I’m working on a hot-dog-on-a-stick uniform — I swear it’s not. But I do think the bushy unibrow is pretty special.

So today I swear I’m going to get properly dressed and finally leave my skybox.

Krusty Update: Improvements July 10, 2008

Thank you everybody for all your well wishes and love. XD

Thankfully, Krusty is doing a lot better but is still at the vet’s. Looks like he will hopefully come home on Friday if he looks good then. The last news from the vet is that his blood levels are correcting nicely and he’s getting active and like his old self so yay!

I had to miss the Viper Pit fashion disasters party tonight so everybody post pictures cuz I want to see you at your best of worst! hehehe. Worst part was I had to miss it b/c Andy’s mom came over for a visit for the sole purpose of bitching us out about money issues. Weeeeeee! not.

So I guess by missing the party I also missed some dramaz. Prolly a good thing I missed it then since I’m totally not in the mood and would have probably started a war of words. O.o

Our vet lets you come visit so I’m waiting for Andy to come home from working to go for a visit and see how Krusty is. I’m nervous about seeing him. The house hasn’t been the same without him. But Super Kitty is getting loads of extra love!

In the meantime, I have to figure out how to make eleventy billion dollars in a depressed economy. Street corner, here I come…(j/k sortamaybe…ok prolly more like shitty cubicle job here I come)

Sorry for the ramble. Don’t worry, I’ll be back to regularly scheduled programming very soon.

…except first more kitteh pictures!

Hrrmm

Outside kitteh stalks inside kitteh

Kitty demanded more pictures of him; here's his "I'm a model" pose

Prayers for Krusty! July 9, 2008

I’ve had a bad RL week so far.

First, financial situation crashing and burning, and then today we had to rush one of our cats, Krusty, to the vet as he’s got a blocked urethra and will die if we don’t give him (of course expensive) treatment. Right now he’s at the vet getting worked on and will be there for at least a few days…Please put lil Krusty in your thoughts and prayers! Thankfully our vet is good and cares.

I’m putting RL job stuff into hyper drive and hoping to have an early soft opening for my store in the next few days/week with just a few items, including some limited time kitteh fundraiser type items. Not that I think I’ll rake it in or solve all my problems that way, but suddenly every little bit counts.

And to end this post on a more happy note, lookie at my cute Krusty Kitteh piccies. No wonder we love him so much!

EDIT: As I was finishing up this post (which was hours ago at this point) the vet called and they were having trouble putting in the catheter so we had to go pick him up and take him to the Vet ER, where he came very near death but they were able to get his bladder drained and on the road to recovery. Too many times today I had to sit there and try to quantify how much money Krusty’s life is worth. What a horrible thought, I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. The Vet Emergency room doctor said he’s never seen a cat this blocked and in this bad of shape, but for all that by the time we left Krusty, he was showing a very real improvement and things were looking much much much better. The bigger worry now is that this problem could reoccur in the future. :(:( But our ER Vet doc was so amazing and nice, well, everyone has been today so Thank God for that at least. We’ll see how he is in the morning. Fingers Crossed.

How could you not love this face?!?

awwwww

Snaggletoof!

Dis sock es mine!
