What do I do when I'm NOT working?! Hmm good question!

I was looking through my inventory, actually, I'm on day five of tidying it up.  It's gotten to the point that people aren't coming back out alive, and I've been finding all these photos of grabbed hilarity which really are just too good to linger in folders, so I'm airing them out and sharing them, even though, you probably had to be there :)


This is Reg Mannonen, an awesome scripter and an even better friend.  Anyone who knows me knows that we have been friends for nearly forever; I even share my chocolate with him!  This is the day I opened my first store and it was Reg who was with me!  If you're interested I opened two stores nearly simulatiously that day.  One was at Sardar Fair, and one was at the infamous Siba.  This is Siba.  It was a good market for me. Both markets are gone now, That incarnation of Siba along time ago, Sardar Fair, more recently.  Orange and black used to be my colour scheme, it was all sunset based, that didnt last long, you can see it on my old animation stands.  I'm wearing Girl 6 hair, "Rain" and I'm pretty darn sure thats a camisky from Layla's Beastie Bits, but I could be wrong on that one.  Reg is wearing fuck knows but it was bloody cool at the time!

This is me and Athan Ansar, Merchant and Head of the House of Ansar.  He's involved in the GMC, the Relay for Life and creates some fantastic products which most of you have yet to see!  He is nearly always in white and gold, a real example of caste pride, not that great wtih a sword, lethal with a signed contract agreement ;)  This photo is his idea of a business meeting. :D  

This is me and Athan again, at one of the older Selkie stores, when I had a N30 photo studio set up for anyone to use.  Playing around with the back drops.  I am the only person to my knowledge who has tried to create gorean backdrops, and it worked real good!

These two photos always make me think he got off his kaiila and nipped behind a bush, like guys do, for a pee. 

Urm.  Where's my Kaiila?

My Kaiila Ran Off Where?!!!

Then there's the group I'm involved with, a group of four artists and creators, Rachel Darling of Milady's Fancy, Syngen Sohmers of Sakinah and omg... Frederick Lancaster of Honor Bound.  We have a huge project under way.  A luxurious shopping retreat offering everything a gorean might desire in one delicious location.  This is us working really hard....

That's me in the foreground, wearing some of Arwen Serpente's "Thorn and Roses" outfit in robin egg blue and my hair is from one of the best hair designers in sl, Analog Dog's "Cafe" in black.  That's the honourable Fred behind me in his blue speedos with sculpty bit *wicked, wicked grin* and keeping an eye on him as ever, Syn, probably in lelutka or Zaara.  These two give me some of my best shopping destinations.  Yeah, we are dancing to Thriller.

Finally, for now, dancing at Kasra, one of our 24 hour stretches, with Athan, Dove, Dove's girl, Adi and a city girl who was serving there at the time.  And yeah... he really is letting his hair down, cutting lose and not wearing anything under those chaps!!!

 

 

OMG has it really been so long!

It's been nearly a year since I last posted any news here!  And all I can say is that rl in the last year has been a heck of a ride, white knuckled and gnarly, where you sink or swim.  I swam and Selkie, despite appearances has been hugely busy behind the scenes.  I'm hugely grateful to the patience of my Selkie Pups and wish each one of you a peaceful and successful New Year, providing your successes don't involve hurting anyone!

So what's new?! 

Where to start!  Out already in the stores is the start of a revamped dance range.  If you've been around as long as I have, you'll know that there are some dance phrases that have been on and off sale for years.  The dance range however is all new animations.  The old dance phrases will be reworked and better!  The new dances poses are just adorable and already infamous thanks to the dance classes over in Ko-ro-ba! Thank you Ko-ro-ba!  The poses are intended as filler peices and the starts and endings to your dances. My favourite, my absolute favourite thing about them is that the climaxes leave you lying panting on the floor, literally, just like your audience will be ;)

Picture features:

Pose: Animations by Selkie, "Begin"

Silk: ~*Fracta Universalis*~, "Pavonae"

Hair: Analog Dog, "Milli"

A note about the silk, oh my gosh, this silk is not only gorgeous but, when wore in it's entirety, *the* most eye widening, elaborate, Rio -esque silk ever. Featuring a peacock style tail attachment that fans out behind you (not shown), it exudes an aura of carnival fun, luxury and pure unadulterated, centre of attention, show stopping stunningness.  In other words, I adore it and thank you angel, over at the Toy Slaves Brothel for introducing me to her work!  (Note: Can be a biatch to edit so be prepared to spend time adjusting to fit if you insist that your butt has to be larger than size 0!)

Back over in Selkie, on the store front, it has been a time of huge change which will soon be very obvious to the whole Secondlife World.  I've been running at half stock for months now while some huge projects have consumed my time, more about these soon.  I'm very excited about them, but they deserve their own post.  Behind the scenes, I've been going through stock, correcting errors, pricing, tweaking animations and trying to standardise the sizing to a higher level.  If you are having problems finding what you want, please get in touch with me, I'm very happy to help.
