Free to a good home–one kittyboy, male (natch), unaltered, house trained, occasionally sulky. Good sense of humor, Protestant work ethic, has his own wardrobe. Affectionate but kind of a handful. Answers when he feels like it to Ryan and Hey Dumbass. Call after 6pm SLT.
I love it when an outfit comes together. I started with the fab new “Deadman Walking” layered jacket by Juwan Lane, because once I tried it on I realized I didn’t want to take it off–maybe ever. (I then realized I couldn’t think of anything that completed the look and felt “right”…but more on that in a moment.) The lovingly detailed jacket has gorgeous, almost velvety-looking fabric texture all around and big, bold artwork in back. I’m also wearing the optional “puffer” shirt, which fills out the sleeves and adds just a little bulk. The jacket’s shading is neither male- nor female-specific, and the prim collar with flexi tie is included in both male and female versions. I found that the tie called for some non-trivial but not terribly difficult adjustment via Edit Linked Parts, so the tie wouldn’t poke through to the inside of the collar. Permissions are Modify / Copy / No Transfer. Juwan’s layered jackets are available in five different styles (L$200 each) at Ju Ju’s Closet (HollandCoast 2 65, 188, 32).
I was off to an auspicious start, but where to go from here? Jeans, sure…but…no. Hmm, what to do, what to do? Although I hadn’t been there in a while, serendipity in the form of another errand delivered me to Gritty Kitty (if you simply must know, I was there to see a man about a belt). There, around back, I discovered-slash-remembered Noam Sprocket’s “Chuttes” pants, which for some reason I had looked at before but never picked up. What was wrong with me? These are awesome! And fun. The truth is, I probably couldn’t figure out what to do with them at the time. That grievous oversight has now been rectified. The pants are rolled casually and comfortably to the calf, and the set includes prim side pockets, rolled cuffs with flexi ties, and a chain wallet. Simply sweet. Permissions are Modify / No Copy / Transfer. Available in four colors (Black, Gray Camo, and Brown, shown here) for L$150 each.
Now I wanted a hat of some kind, and the gods smiled on me–the hat I found came with hair. Or perhaps I needed hair, and it came with a hat. Either way, it was good. And right there at the front of the shop I found two that I liked so much I couldn’t decided between them. So that’s divine intervention, right? Or something. “Mikey” is a hat with hair (hairstyle with hat?), or more properly a knitted cap, that wasn’t what I was looking for in the sense that I had a mental picture that I was trying to match, but it was exactly what I was looking for in the sense that I knew when I saw it that it was just right. Make sense? Try to keep up. The cap is scripted for a bunch of different color combinations–just click the cap and select from the pop-up menu. The front patch is similarly scripted for your choice of 13 different designs, or you can make it invisible for no patch at all. I’m wearing it here with Red hair (I heard your gasp of surprise from here), but several other colors are also available. Permissions are Modify / Copy / No Transfer (typical for hair). Take it home for L$130; there’s a demo you can try first if you feel like playing it safe.
As if it weren’t good enough to find one style that was just what I was looking for, there was actually another one. Right there on the same wall. “Baman” is another hair-with-hat combination that’s kinda goofy and just right in an entirely different way. The hat here is home-retrofitted, hand-stitched “dark knight” headgear that any wannabe superhero would be proud of. The longish hair, wispy but not shaggy, is pulled into a ponytail in back. 219 reckless prims, cuz Noam is extravagant like that. Shown in Red again, but you may find another color you like better. Permissions are Modify / Copy / No Transfer. This one’s L$150 (L$20 more, must be all those prims), and there’s a demo in the shop.
Pants, hair and other stuff by Noam are available at Gritty Kitty (Koreshan 47, 83, 25). In case you’re wondering, you can pick up the “Free Kitten” box and the “Nekos At Play” sign just outside the Gritty Kitty main entrance. The box is a freebie, and the sign is nearly so at L$15.
