Vint goes Neko

April 15, 2007 5:10 am

Neko Animations Steps: Falling AsleepWell, ‘going Neko’ has become trendy and fashionable, but who am I to say I won’t follow fashion? Especially when it seems like that’s the only way the hunt down a cute male Neko-avie. Ow yes, Andro looks cute as neko, but I want someone who can explain to me what all the ‘rowrs’, ‘purrrs’ and ‘yanks’ are about. I do am curious when Wrath is going to trade in his wings for ears and tail! ;)

Ow, and Ava posed a very good question: where actually does the word/idea/… ‘Neko’ originates from?! I figured it would be something like the books ‘Chronicles of Gor’ giving birth to ‘Gorean’. Hmmm. Wrong. Think again. Neko (ねこ) is Japanese for cat. That and Neko is also that awefully cute cat chasing your mouse cursor.

Neko Tail: menuSo what does a Neko need (according to Vint)?

  1. Purrrr-ing animations: check
  2. Sharp prim nails: check
  3. Ears: Elven ears. OMG! Must do something about that.
  4. A Luger gun: Must IM Miss Connolly in-world.
  5. Tail: Hmmm. Nope. *Puts a freebie penis on and rotates it so it sticks out on the back.* Horrible sight! Better buy me a tail too.
  6. Fur: The presence of hair on my skin is well… euhm.. rather limited. So I guess I need that too.
  7. Cute neko male avie on her side.

Neko Ears: menuEars andTails’s I’ve bought at … . Ow boy, I do have a lousy memory. But if anybody is interested: they are called ‘Anisa’s Neko Ears’ and ‘Anisa’s Neko Tail’ and have cost me about 900L$. (How do you notate Linden Dollars? Is it L$900, l$900, 900l$ or 900L$?) Both are scripted, although I don’t actually understand all the different positions of my ears yet. For instance what does ‘^(x_@)^’ mean and wherein does it differ from ‘^(^_^)^’. I must be sending out heaps of wrong signals with my ears at the moment. Luckily the tail does speak English in stead of Nekonese and I do get what ‘high flick’, ‘low swing’ and ‘eeek!!!’ mean. I guess I was in a Hello-Kitty-mood, as both the ears and the tail are now pink. *grins*

Neko-Vint: with pink spotsFinding a good skin was more difficult though. All places recommended to me were a bit to laggy and the skins Tiara so kindly send me where just a bit to orange. Poppin Popinjay came to the resque by sending me some demo recolorable neko-skin packages from Hybrid. I’ve chosen ‘**hybric** cc spots white’ as with that skin I can make my black dots all pink. *Rejoices* Didn’t succeed at arriving at Hybrid when it is not laggy, so at the moment I’m still walking around with ‘Demo’ written all over me. :(

Neko-Vint: bandanaAs Myg reminded us all of Bandana Day, I dropped by at the hair fair and got myself a cute pink/black chess pattern bandana. Goes nice with the ears, no?

I’ve met some cute (and helpfull) neko males on my quest for ears, tail and skin, but none that would make me purrr. So, all applications are welcome in the comments below. Please do note:

  • Tail size.
  • Favorite ears position.
  • Favorite hunting/playground.
  • Snapshot ft. your neko-avie.
  • Species/make/brand/breed/whatever. (No Leptailurusses, please!)
  • Do you own your own basket?
  • Do mention use of drugs like catnip, …
  • Full cream, reduced milk or skim milk?
  • Are you a night or day animal, and what timezone do you live in?
  • Whatever else you think I could find useful knowing.

Neko-Vint: with normal hairChecked with the boss and she says I do look cute and can come to work like this (without the ‘demo’ written all over me though). *Purrrs* :d

Wuf & Rose’s wireframed wedding

April 13, 2007 3:06 pm

Rose & Wuf (Wireframe wedding 1)As the Linden Gods were against me on Thuersday night and all skin textures did either completely not or halfly rez, snapshotting in wireframe was the only option left besides not snapshotting at all. :(

Rose & Wuf (Wireframe wedding 2)Wuf and Rose, I wish you all the best! Let yours be the most fulfilling intercontinental-meta- marriage ever seen on the main grid! ;)

An eggy victory!

[3:26] Helena Kirkorian: you had 27 out of 45 votes
[3:26] Helena Kirkorian: 54
[3:26] Helena Kirkorian: sorry
[3:26] Vint Falken: hmm, close call, thus :d
[3:26] Vint Falken: thank you

W00t! Yayayaya! *Jumps up in the meta-air.* *Presses PageUp when in-world a thousand times.* Thank you all so very much for voting for me (and my Egg) - some even twice - and for helping me spread the word. Still wondering if I’ve won a building or a popularity contest, but maybe that’s not that important anymore, because I now have 2k l$ to spend on Neko-stuff. Who goes shopping with me tonight after Wuf and Rose’s marriage?

Part two of the series ‘People who came over to vote for me.’

Elise October Hush

Ow, and of course also Andro came over to click my name. This is why I shoot (down) every girl that gets to close to him (except for Wuf, as she’s getting married anyway): we just look that good together! ;)

Wrath Paine & Dakota Buck

Amongst the people that came over to vote on my egg (or at least, so I hope): Wrath Paine and Dakota Buck. With Wrath I had a little problem focussing on anything else but his butt. Well… it’s a nice butt with some great wrapping, no? *grins*  Btw, you can still vote for me (again, the voting board crashed and thus the voting was reset)! Highly appreciated and stuff. :d

All work and no play? No way!

Well, it’s not like my entire second life evolves around that ******* egg. So I dropped by at Little Philly to meet the nice version of Alexander Burgess, co-blogger Mygdala March, lovely-in-white-silks Vanny Richez, well-dressed Romana Wei and soon-to-be-silks-adept Sable. And I caged Torvalpac. *grins* (But had to be saved by Alexander in return.) I didn’t stay very long, but as I judge on looks, I’m sure they are all very nice persons! ;)

Wuf and Rose… are getting married! On the 12th of April these two great Avies will exchange their meta-vows at the Paradise Lost. All best wishes possible and imagible to my lovely princess and her pretty neko-bride. (Although I’m a bit jealous, as I want a Neko too! *sobs a bit* ;))

Veyron Supercharge is the ~SL’s Next Top Model and other modeling thingies

March 31, 2007 9:34 am

Veyron Supercharge (Vampire Challenge) IIIMaybe it’s a bit of wishful thinking from my part, but then again, I’m a fan! And just look at the lovely lady… that’s tilde SL top model material, allright?

Just to break through the miss/model cliché: did I mention Veyron can think in different time zones (maths!), did not offer me meta-sex in exchange for photographs (moral, scrupules!) and that she shot me (eye for beauty!)? ;)

This three pictures featuring Veyron Supercharge were taken for this week’s ~SLNTM Vampire Challenge.

Veyron Supercharge (Vampire Challenge) IAlso the non-tilde SL’s Next Top Model is kicking off, accepting applications starting april 1. Just join the non-tilde group or IM Miss Millesimee Jezebel to receive the information notecard. For applying you’ll need at least a headshot and a portfolio that shows your diversity as a model. And apparently, SL top models don’t pose nude either. Bummer! ;) And the notecard doesn’t say ‘male avies can’t participate / woman only’, so I assume hawt males can enter too? This model contest is getting even more interesting! *grins*

Veyron Supercharge (Vampire Challenge) IIA bit strange is that both the SLNTM and the ~SLNTM websites are still rather contentless. Well, the tilde one does have ads. *rolls with meta-eyes*

Meanwhile Ana Lutetia is very busy practicing her catwalk moves for becomming Miss SecondLive L’Oreal Paris Glamour. Good luck to you too, lady.

Besides, being an SL top model is not the only thing that requires great (meta)skill. Zoe gives an overview of some of the skills needed for being a SecondLive BDSM mistress: interviewing skills, time management skills and knowledge about disciplinary action. ;)

Wish you could stare at Helena all day long? Now’s your chance! This sexy lady and her pet now have their own 1280*1024 background image. Just right click here, save as, un-ace and enjoy the view.

A small preview of the image (don’t worry, the original does say ‘Paradise Lost’ *slaps herself*) :

Of course, first life photographs of our beautiful Helena in full splendor on your PC or notebook are highly appreciated! ;)

And for all the aspiring models amongst you, sign up for the SecondLife’s Next Top Model contest! Interested parties should contact Jada Hoyer in-world. You can join the SL Next Top Model News group for the latest updates, or join the ~SL Next Top Model group to get started in the competition. Entries will be accepted through March 31st. Amongst the prizes are L$25,000, a modeling contract and a professional photo shoot. It seems this event was originally an idea of Ms. Haight and hi-jacked by Jada Hoyer. Read all about it at the SL Herald’s article ‘Scandal! Sl’s Next Top Model… has a twin?‘. I’m very sorry for supplying wrong information and getting some avie’s hopes up high. SL starts to resemble first life: you just can’t trust the media to do a decent background check on something before they write about it. :P

On the other hand, if you want a professional photo shoot, you can always try to tell me how great I am. That usually helps. And if you’re just not good enough at sucking up to someone, some kindly offered L$ can help to pursay me too. ;)
