Pose Fair: (*chanimations

It brings me such joy to be able to bring you the Pose Fair news from one of SL's top pose and photographer's props creator - namely Chandra Meehan, and (*chanimations.  I have loved her stuff for ages and even won several photo contests with them so naturally I was very curious to see what she has come up with the fair. I was not dissapointed. Chandra has created to awsome new  multi functional props - "Exorcism" and "Source of Life", two full scene builds with many many functions, from throwing spells to binding your victims and releasing soap bubbles and fire (!!) Of course these will enable you to shoot some truly magican photos, but kept up in a sim the props can also very well functrion as a great RP set for you and your friends. 

OK, "Exorcism" first. This set is structured in multiple layers, it can be used as a one-person-pose, couple pose set or if you have more magic followers at hand - let them join the outer circle of another 10 poses that surrounds the alter in a summoning. The rituals you can playe with these doesnt dare mentioning lol but your mind is the only limit.

As you can see I took the opportunity and chained my possessed  friend lol and bound an additional sinner at the side of the altar while I wrestled with the nassy demons.

Then theres the lovely "Source of Life"  set -  a spring celebration.

Sourceress "-Source of Life" - is Chandra Meehan's and (*chanimations release to celebrate the awakening of nature after the long winter. The set contains the following photography props and poses with the following properties:
6 POSES:
• (*magicWand_kneel, 
• (*magicWand_wander, 
• (*magicWand_cast, 
• (*magicWand_summon, 
• (*magicWand_connect, 
• (*magicWand_raise

All POSES are static and come with copy rights so you can put them into your posestands or make own poseball arrangements. 
The magic pentagram is surrounded by menu-driven energy swirls, glowing grass patches and sculpted daisies and snails. Theres lovely soap bubble poofers, magic wands and a hide/show option for the ground. Springtime is here - even my hair caught fire LOL

Lovely for creative fashion shoots as well as more occult visuals. I LOVE these props. 

One day til Pose Fair!

Yay it's only one day until Pose Fair opens and I thought I'd tempt you guys with some awsome poses from creators who will have vendors there. I have been bombarded with poses and it's really hard to choose which ones to blog first. But I thought Id start with some model poses from Amacci - as all models, aspiring models and any old posers needs'em. The new poses are beautifully animated and it makes me realize how much SL modelling has changed since I started walking the runways in 2006. Back then poses were all static and had that not so pretty broken-anckle-effect lol. The woman behind Amacci Carina Larsen is as old as me in SL - woot! - so I would imagine she remembers. Her new AO is called Posh, and thats how you feel when you wear it.

I am wearing:

Aimesi - skin "So cute" in caramel

Emo-tions - hair "Myst" in blonde

Pink Outfitters - "The Cubby Hole" Graphic T - pink

Ema's Secret- Funny panties in pink

SLink  - Tiger Heels Red

Another fun set is from do re mi created by Luxe Helendale. She says: "do re mi spawned from that constant question "am i good at anything in sl?" It became a fun lil project." These fun poses are called things like carnival reject, living in a dream, make it big someday and we all fall down. Totally irresistible!

I am wearing:

Aimesi - skin "So cute" in caramel

[PM]  - shoes Baby T : Black

Miamai - hair Axhoa Blacks

artilleri - pretty bra and panties

Happy St. Patrick's!

We have a very special offer for St. Patricks:
A pair of sexy high gloss strappy "Vixen" heels with prim feet, skin and size are of course mod for you to get a perfect fit for your tootsies.
The shoes are on sale this week only for the special nice price of 100 lindens! So get them now, because next week they'll be gone.You will find them on the table on the ground floor of Faster Pussycat's Mainstore in Redux.

Faster Pussycat Spring and Summer 2010

I'm currently working on my new spring and summer line Seriously Cute that's why I'm such a recluse these days. But I thought I'd post a preview so you can see I'm actually working, not just saying lol. We're expanding the store, have a whole new floor and will also be featuring shoes and accessories. Seriously Cute plus another more spectacular line of gowns and catsuits should be out in the store after Easter holidays. Enjoy!

In all Fair-ness

I remember a time when Hair Fair was the big event of the year, in fact many would argue that it still is apart from getting caught in a massive soup of lag. Last Hair Fair i had to cancel, not even flying around like a naked noob helped because not only was there hoards of people but nothing rezzed and if it did it was buildings made of allsorts and cupcakes, not the actual vendors! Cute idea, but unless you have a kickass pc like the Linden Labs you're in trouble. It was also quite unpleasant to hear idiots yell at people for their rendering cost. It is annoying that someone flies in with a scripted outfit and hair that could take out a SIM but be civil.

Anyways, so now we have had Skin Fair, Clothing Fair and Accessory Fair is still going on, it was only ehem fair? - that we should have a Pose Fair. Og btw - is there a shoe fair? It's the brainchild of Katey Coppola of Glitterati, and to fight the aforementioned lag they are going to keep the building minimalistic. To quote Evelyn Harsthon on their flickr: Quaduple yay for that!

I will most def be spending a bunch of my hard earned lindens here so I'll blog some of the poses with Faster Pussycats designs as I go along. Pose Fair will run from April 2nd until April 16th.

Winter Fairytale

I just had to post this lovely photo of Mimmi Boa and Poptart Lilliehook on the Glance runway wearing Faster Pussycat's winter collection "A Winter Fairytale". Mimmi (left) is wearing Winter Vamp in turqouise and black sequins and fur, Poptart is wearing The Ice Princess in glacier white. I just love the styling and the poses, which goes to show why some models are so-called supermodels. Great work, Mimmi and Poptart!

Evane's Hearts for Haiti

Last month Mimmi Boa and Evane Models did this wonderful auction for helping the people of Haiti. Over 20 exclusive designs were auctioned off in the span of two days. Faster Pussycat's contribution you can see here:

As always I did try to have my own slightly edgy take on the "big ballgown" - so yet again, another punky outfit from me. I love the idea of creating something beautiful that will help do good in this world. So when asked if I would donate something for Evane's "Hearts for Haiti" event I custom designed my very own Help Haiti- gown. I like the fact that fashion cares, and even if I as one person feel very small I know that when we stand together, people are a force to be reckoned with - a power. So naturally I called the Haiti dress for the 
"People Have the Power"-dress.
I see these gowns as a whole new take on power dressing - with our creativity we have the power to change some wrongs to rights - and the words I chose to print on the dress were inspired by an old song by Patti Smith.
I have loved creating this dress, it is is kinda punky and wild, with a bit of 80ties pop video thrown into the mix. The hearts in the tiara and the little collar symbolizes love and empathy. The big skirt symbolizes haute couture - as this dress is a one-off - and the stripey tights and top symbolises unity, strenght and hope. The top even has the words "HOPE" printed on the back. 
Tops and bottoms are in all layers for easy wear and without the big skirt the catsuit can easily be worn under your fave denim miniskirt or booty shorts for a more casual look. 
The idea of a full bodycatsuit is warm, cocooning comfort - just what every human being needs, but especially the little children of Haiti who are suffering twice as much as everybody else with the threat of human trafficking lurking in addition to the traumas of the disaster and loss already. God bless whomever bought my dress, you are helping save lives.

If you didn't get a chance to come to this auction don't panic - there's more comming up in the months to come. Glance International are having a Relay for Life show and so is Opium. And I think Faster Pussycat will contribute to both if I get enough time. I will post more details soon as I know. See you there!

Yes, that's what it's been. Even for a pixelated avatar the fall gets busy with lots of parties and coolass happenings. This fall started out with Glance's huge birthday celebration - our first year as an agency. Patty has kept us all busy and if anybody deserves an award this year it's her. Honestly. The Fall kickoff was an amazing 2 day show with so many designers and models attending it makes me dizzy just to talk about. Then - .:Naive designer Leah McCullogh had my dress ready (i will make it a special post) which I hade the honor of showing on the runway and on posters in her show. It was all for winning the .:Naive photo contest in August.
Then - more parties and awards. These photos are from Glance International's Photo Awards and from the Glance Magazine launch party. To top it all off i was chosen as Glance's Model of the Month in the premier issue of the magazine, and have been crazy busy after with shoots and shows and all the glitz and glam that comes with it. And to top it all off Paty made my dream come true this month, picking me as cover model on 2 fashion publications of October - plus giving me 10-12 spreads on the magazine. Patty - you have made this October so memorable I can sometimes not believe it's true lol

As usual this month has been crazy busy - among the many things we had the most awsome fashion runway show at Glance freaturing the designs of House of Rfyre and Sangre Noir plus the lovely Aimesi skins. Here is a capture from Sharron Schuman, I just love how this photo came out. The gown is from Sangre Noir and was a forties Film Noir kind of design, Herradure Baar had written the most amazing little blurbs about the vampire Sangre's 300 year old life story - for each and every outfit an original little story. And this smooth coctail dress with rose decorated sash and little bustle represents the years when the vampire Sangre was a vampy gothic pinup and worked in the New York underground as a nightclub performer during the 1940ties. I just love that story Herra lol. And Sharron - the snap is adorable!

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

Summer 2009: "Africa"

"Africa" is the theme for Faster Pussycat's line of light summer dresses 2009. Inspired by the vibrant colors of the most beautiful continent of the world.

Sometimes it rocks to say "yes"...

Weddingdresses and gowns from Faster Pussycat are for people who want things a little less traditional.

The "Ashai" gown is a gothic gown with full length veil,

tightly laced leather corset and spiderweb top.

"Webby" is a fifties New look gown with full skirt, petticoats and a white satin corset over cream brocade. The dress also comes in a full length version.

Do me a fave - listen to this

These songs and this voice makes me cry with emotion...and bear in mind both songs are live perfromances, and the guy and his backing singers sounds amazing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJTiXoMCppw&feature=related
There's done so many covers of this song but Leonard wrote it and his version is King.

if there is anything spiritual in this world it must sound like this.

And this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_drEFOaPaK8&feature=related

"I have seen the future brother
it is murder..."

Words of a genious.

OMG - check this!

Why I love hairbands

I am forever in love with glamrock and what seems to have sprung out of the original glam scene of the seventies – what my darling Coeur spitefully call hairbands. Why do I like this?Well...because they are cool of course, its all in the name of GREAT style sense - in a very poser “look at my crotch”- kinda way. Tight pants, loads of hair, add guitars, piles of scantily clad women, cheap booze, loud noize and life doesn't really get any better than that. Ok so I don't really have any better explanation for this fetish, because i know the overall visual is tacky and a bit comical like a rock’n’roll pastiche - New York Dolls always kinda looked like the drag version of Rolling Stones. Oh well....it's only rock'n'roll and I like it *shrugs*

I cant really get enough of it no matter how "outdated" scared little trend-midgets might call it - I have to have a regular fix of Hanoi Rocks, Stage Dolls or Europe.... just like your average a fat person overindulging on chocholate brownies.
Now, i would suggest that the worlds most famous hairband is Bon Jovi although their staying power might have proved that they reached far beyond the hairband era of the 80ties – a sensatuonal decade for everything big and excessive. I think my fave hairband bonanza would include a lineup of: Europe, TNT, Hanoi Rocks *faints*, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Stage Dolls (amg *faints-faints-faints*), and guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen...Now Darkness tried it on a few years back and tho i loved their style the music kinda sucked. It was like hey, guys dont turn this into comedy, glam is serious shit.

If you’re thinking like “hellyeah, i wanna look like that!!!” keywords to get it right is:

BIG hair, preferably permed and with highlights

Very tight jeans, spandex or black denim

High heel pointy boots

Open shirts

Tattos

Eyeliner

Pilot mirror glasses.
Pile on with chunky belts and flowing scarves and twist your upper lip on occation. I have designed some outfits very much inspired by this look, my Faster Pussycat red and brown “Glam Rock”-outfit for instance has clear references to this very droolworthy and flamoyant style. Call me sick – but I do love rockers who looks like rockers, not office workers. Hail hail rock'n'roll - and pass the hairspray!

All outfits are available from my mainstore Faster Pussycat in Redux.
