Sanu in SL: The Miro skins for a touch of Spring.

Published on March 1, 2011 in Digital, Sanu Stuff and second life. 0 Comments Tags: avatar, Cute, flowers, Girl, kawaii, make-up, second life, skin, skins, sl, virtual, woman.

My husband teases me about this. He really does. Every time I start on something like skins, or hair, or buildings, he’ll go, “Kat, you said that I should beat you if you ever start trying to make <insert item here>.” To which I resoundingly reply, “Shut up. Don’t tell me. I knowwwww!”

Skins are very much one of those things that I said I’d never do.

Luckily though, I often ignore what I’ve said earlier, and do it anyway. So here’s the new release!

There are four tones, to suit a range of avvies, starting with a nice pale shade.

There’s seven make-ups available in each tone – six can be picked up individually, but the seventh can only be obtained by purchasing the fatpack.

Each of the skins have four options to cover some of the basics – light brows for blonde and lighter hairs, dark brows for brunettes and darker, no cleavage for those that prefer a more natural look and cleavage for those who want a bit of lift. By having these options on the skin itself, you have the tattoo layer free for other things.

So yes. I’ve made skins again. Skins inspired by flowers and Spring-time and frolicking and fun. I’ve even released the shape in-store as well, so that you can get the exact look in the signs with the addition of some hair from Fri.day, eyes by Poetic Color, and outfit by Evie’s Closet.

Teleport to Sanu to try out a demo today!

EaHH: And the donation is made.

And things finally draw to a close. The donation for the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal was made today – I really should have done it yesterday, but considering I was struggling just to breathe correctly (yes, the flu was that brutal) I figured you’d all forgive me for waiting until I could walk without looking like a half-risen zombie with respiratory problems. Thankfully I feel much better today!

So, onto the story. I made the donation in person, because I was unable to do so online (bank-account limits and all that), so I headed on down to the Commonwealth.

I was greeted by Steph, who was my awesome teller of the day. She was also kind enough to let me take a couple of pictures while she was doing the transaction, since I didn’t appear to be casing the joint and explained how I’d be doing up a blog-post for the people who donated.

She filled out the deposit slip and tippity-tapped at the computer, going, ‘Wow!’ at the amount. I explained how it had been raised, and she said that she was awed at how generous everyone had been with the appeal.

And here’s Steph again, checking my license to make sure that I am really who I said I am. After all, when you’re depositing a sum like that, you want to make sure that everything is 100% legit.

And the moment that we’ve all been waiting for: the receipts! Just click the picture to get a larger view.

I decided to round up, so the donated amount was AU$8350. In case you were curious (since the account number is partially blocked out) the full details for the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal are as follows (because you can still donate!):

Account Name: Premiers Disaster Relief Appeal
BSB: 064 013
Account number: 1000 6800
Bank: Commonwealth Bank

I will also send them away to get a proper tax receipt also, in case further proof is required by any of you to know that it did, in fact, get to where it needed to go. The tax receipt might take a little while though, as it is a paper mail-away process. I’ll just update this post to show it when it arrives.

Phew… we did it guys! Thank you again for your generous donations and contributions to the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal by taking part in Extend a Helping Hand. It went far better than I could have possibly imagined, and it would not have been possible at all if it weren’t for all of you. Thank you.

Sanu in SL: Feeling sickly, but there’s an up-side!

Published on February 23, 2011 in Digital, Sanu Stuff and second life. 0 Comments Tags: cold, flu, free, freebie, group gift, sanu, second life, sick, skin, sl.

I hate being sick. There’s just something about sniffling away with a throb in your head and a churning in your gut that says, ‘Oh God, please let this be over soon.’

That’s not all, either. I have to be the worst sick person to be around, if I’m at home. Oh, I’ll act all strong and tough it out if I’m at work or something similar, but get me home again and I turn into a pouty little so-and-so who wants chicken broth, snuggles and a huge side-order of pampering. Aloe-vera tissues for me please, and go heavy on the sympathy… especially if you happen to be the one who gave me the flu in the first place.

There is, however, a bit of an up-side to all of this. You see, I seem to have developed this pattern in Second Life: get sick, moan about it, then make something to share the feeling of sickliness with everyone else. I’ve done two sick day skins so far (the first two were given as group gifts, and one was subsequently put up for general sale), and the one in this picture is now officially the third. I call it, ‘Sick Again’.

In keeping with the sick-day skin tradition, this skin has been sent out to the Sanu groups and will be available there for free for the two weeks that it will remain in the notice archives and redelivery terminal.

Teleport to Sanu and click a group sign (there’s one for the subscription group and one for the system group) to join, and go through the archives to receive your gift.

EaHH Announcement: We’ve been featured in the news!

Published on January 25, 2011 in Announcements, Digital, Interesting Links and second life. 0 Comments Tags: charity, floods, fund-raising, incredible, premier's disaster relief appeal, second life, sl, thank you.

The pic features the ‘Jar Full of Hugs’ by A.D.D Andel and the ‘Deluxe Fairy Tale Gown’ by Deviance… because I just think it’s a great idea to have a picture with the post.

So anyhow… big news, everybody! Our efforts with Extend a Helping Hand has been featured in the news at both ninemsn.com.au and brisbanetimes.com.au (and a few other places, too, but the story is the same). Just click on either link to go to the stories, and have a little read.

As everyone knows, there is a lot that a story can’t cover, so let me get a couple of things out of the way right now: thank you to everyone who has taken a part in organizing or participating in Extend a Helping Hand. I know that the thank-yous are a little early, but I just want to make special mention of a few people while those articles are still fresh.

To Andel Rhiadra, a big thank-you for donating the event hall location, and for being right on board from the very first ‘I wonder if I should…’.
To December Larkham, who has been an excellent event manager and kept me sane.
To Mariposa Upshaw, for giving me the connections I needed to make music a big part of this fund-raising effort.
To Bundy Xue, without whom the Australia Day Flood Relief Benefit simply could not have occurred (her organizational ability is just stunning).
To Serenity Semple for being there when I’ve felt close to pulling my hair out.
To Iki Akiri for spending that tension-filled day of the 11th at the event hall with me, while our city was being flooded – until she had to be evacuated out!
To every vendor who has taken the time to put a product together to fund-raise for the cause.
To every musician, singer, artist, dj, event-holder and donation-point for dedicating your time, effort and locations to raising money.
To every blogger for promoting the event, and all others who have spread the word.
To every single person who has donated so far and will do so for the weeks to come: every single linden counts.
And most importantly, to my husband. Because he’s had to put up with me during all of this!

I’m sure I’ve left someone or something out. To write everything I actually need to write here would take up more space than any normal person would happily read, but I hope I’ve gotten the general idea across: thank you everyone for making this event great and getting us to where we are now.

We’re quickly approaching US$5000 raised for the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal – let’s power forward in these last couple of weeks and blow that figure out of the water!

Oh, and quickly: go check out the article, Virtual world reaches out to flood victims!
