nataliedee.com

Uni classes have started back up for me. I'll be on less and less. :O If you read this blog, I probably miss you!

Really, not dead.

2007-01-14T14:11:00.000-06:00

Ice storm's come through, it looks rather melted out there. But still, I've got power and I'm not dead.

Yay!

THIS is why I haven't been doing anything productive.

2007-01-04T19:07:00.000-06:00

Yeah so, instead of actually finishing the belted polo shirts I'm working on...I spent like an hour or so drawing this. >.<

I couldn't think of a good way to depict what Trin does. I'd need to just like, give her a Glinda dress and a magic wand or something.

Happy Farkin' New Year!!

2007-01-01T01:23:00.000-06:00

If this is what 2007 has in store...oh god.

Small release: Cardies.

2006-12-23T03:28:00.000-06:00

Two of them: Mousie Cardie and Cherrie Cardie. The graphics are completely hand-drawn this time :D

Each cardie is 50L and is trans so feel free to gift 'em to folks.

You can get them in either the Unlimited:188,105,21 location or the new spot in Amicitia:165,180,27.

In other news: I'm out of town and thus out of world for about five days I think. So I will see you all later...Happy Christmas, everyone, or holiday/non-holiday of choice!!

So tired. New release. And tired.

2006-12-20T05:44:00.000-06:00

New release of two tops (several color options each) at .:fRUit:. in Unlimited, 188, 105, 21.

I also have a lower-cut tanktop that matches the Overalls...dunno if I should sell it though. o.O

THANK YOU!

2006-12-17T03:56:00.000-06:00

Donovan, Vasean, Deekay, SinnM, and everybody else who helped me :3

It was a journey of epic proportions. And like journeys of it's kind, it began with a single IM.

"So, you said you didn't have any place to sell your grown-up clothes," Said Hot Donny unto me.
"No," says I, "Not yet. I was hoping to save up for a place."
Shortly thereafter, I'm told the mythically awe-inspiring tale of GearShift's humble beginnings, and Donovan insists we must follow the same path for .:fRUit:.
Never being one to turn down adventure, I agree, and off we go in a storm of TPs, traversing the entire grid and many a terrifyingly laggy mall in search of an Oasis of Cheap Primmage (TM). It was only after seeking the wisdom of SL-Shopping Sage Vasean that our journey at last found it's destination. There, upon the beach, stood the answer to our quest. Deeks, Queen of the Piercing Lance, ushered us to a little stall overlooking the water.
"This," she said, "Is what you seek." And indeed it was. And thusly was .:fRUit:. established in its first location. And it was good.

That location, BTW, is "Unlimited: 188,105,21."
Expect many updates between now and Jan 17th.

Officially released!

2006-12-16T14:19:00.000-06:00

I made my little forum post about it in new releases and um...yeah.

Both are hand painted, but light on the body shading. Sweet comes in 6 flavours (Banana, Strawberry, Kiwi, Orange, Raspberry, and Blueberry.) Pockets comes as Brown/Teal *pictured* and Black/Pink.

I can make & sell some with a bit more body shading (boobie area) if you know of anyone who'd be interested in those, but I currently don't have anywhere to sell them XD !! So for "adult" versions of these tops I guess, I'll have to sell them via IM for now.

I'm working on some more stuff today, too.

OMG sleepy.

2006-12-16T03:48:00.000-06:00

Okay, so I'm really really really really really really sleepy right now.

But the news is that I have a very small spot in a kid mall, "Don't Wanna Grow Up." There's an LM in my picks...um. Yeah.
It doesn't have EVERYTHING out yet but it's got I think 5 shirts and 2 beds or something. If you know of any people with a little girl in SL point them thatta way?

Stalking Noam: Part 2.

2006-12-14T14:44:00.000-06:00

It's perfectly normal for trees to grow in smoggy, dirty, inner-urban areas with graffiti all over them.

Seriously!

Gritty Kitty expansion!

2006-12-11T16:25:00.000-06:00

It's bigger. It's better. It's grittier and it has a farkin' sewer.

Piere:...c'est magnifique!

I can't wait for new stuff. Wait. I'm saving for land, I can't buy new stuff! Argh!!

(It is a sordid affair.)

Slum Chic: A li'l dirt never hurt.

2006-12-10T06:16:00.000-06:00

It's a pretty gross understatement to say that these days, filthy is sexy in SecondLife. The grungier you can make it, the better, and the more it looks like you just crawled your way through muddy barbed-wire, the more compliments you're bound to get.

That's why, as I was attempting to stalk a Noam this evening (elusive being that he is, this is much harder than it sounds) I wound up at The Block. The Block is the place for urban grunge fashion, at least, insofar as I've discovered. And after a hesitant inquiry of Zabitan Assia (owner of FORM and co-owner of the Block) about which of his garments he thought would look sexiest on a girl AV, I came away with a mini-makeover to share.

This Before photo is my general kind of wear. A floofy skirt, a pretty top, and sweet hair. (Dazzle *Rendezvous*, .:fRUit:., Kin Keiko *Abby*)

After Zabitan got FORM's dirty paws on me...

I blended in so well, Jonny Dusk mistook me for a slum-maiden and whisked me away to his Grunge Castle (squatter hang-to).
Here you can see me decked out in closeup, looking totally at home in the slummiest of grunge-shui environs. The ShredR low-rise jeans, built for boys like all of FORM, are mouth-wateringly unisex. And, even pale as I am, the never-seen-Clorox grey of the Suspect tank stands out just fine, giving me some subtle hardass definition, too. (FORM*ShredR low*, FORM *Suspect tank*, Kin Keiko *Emi*)

So stark what just those three pieces can do. Sure, everyone knows that Kin and Zabitan are great designers already, that's nothing new. But the best part? Total cost of the main makeover (accessories not included: chokers, bracelets, bodyparts, tattoos) was $300L. Jeans - $75L. Tank - $125L. Hair - $100L.

Stalking Noam: Part 1.

2006-12-10T01:19:00.000-06:00

Here is a harmless tree. And a snowneko. Made by Noam.

...A Snoam.

(Well, I had to practice on something, right?)

Depending on how this stalking works out, I may chronicle it here on my blog XD

My first gig.

2006-12-08T08:14:00.000-06:00

Okay, so when I got the news, I was more than ecstatic.

Over on Jackal Ennui's blog, the talented shoes&jewelry genius posted about needed just a few models for an event at the offical opening of the Nouveau sim. After reading over the info, I was so stoked. I wear nothing but Tete a Pied skins, and I love my Miriel eyes. And the prospect of free Lassitude & Ennui accessories? Couldn't pass that up! So I applied and to my total surprise, I was picked.

So, on Dec. 17th from 1-3PM SLT, I'll be looking classy at Nouveau (sans tats/piercings/twitchy ears/pink hair, but that's like what RL models have to do too), apparently showcasing some of the gorgeous work from these designers I really admire.

Talk about farkin' awesome. XD

Layout is finished!!

2006-12-05T17:53:00.000-06:00

...Ahhh, now that's much more comfortable.

<3

Now I can concentrate on er. Content. Yeah.

Attention all males!

2006-12-04T07:34:00.000-06:00

Calling all 男の猫、nekoboys, guys, dolls, guys-who-wanna-look-like-sexy-dolls---

Roslin Petion and CJ Carnot over at Tete a Pied (see my links) have created something stunning and gorgeous for you!

Smooth, dashing, and oh-so-dangerously-yet-sensitively-sexy! Smokey-eyed mens' makeups that break the boundary of "eye-liner" and go right into "I-must-have-you."
Even Capt. Jack Sparrow doesn't make it look this good!

They're called "Malaise," available as a 4 pack or as singles in all 9 skin tones, 2 different facial hair options and 2 different makeup looks. Where to find them? A sim called Nouveau. Want sexy eyes to go with this new skin? Head to Miriel's in the same neighborhood, where you can find the most gorgeous hand-painted eyes with a smaller-than-regular iris, great for guys who aren't keen on that "Bambi" look.

I may have to join the ranks of Willow and others and make myself a sexy male alter-ego just to wear these hot skins.

Block Party~

2006-12-04T00:07:00.000-06:00

I went to a social event in SL today. (Ru, social? Bah!) As a result, I got to stare adoringly at some of my favorite SL designers (Zabitan, Helyanwe *she's so...tall swoon*, Keishii, Dragontat, Antonia, etcetc). The highlights however, were DJ and Gear-shifter Don Brennan's sexy voice and Noam's new tasty mouse.

He's scripted for extra morbidness XD

Oh, and it also became known to like the whole world that I have my own Gritty Kitty/Noam Sprocket fanclub. I'm so shortbus.

As an aside, and something that will no doubt hinder any real productivity of ".:fRUit:."...I know nothing of Photoshop! Noooothingggggggggggggg.

First post...must make layout ASAP.

2006-11-29T14:39:00.000-06:00

ああああ！はじめのブロッグポスト!
Sorry for that. Studying a language means using a language. I will randomly be using Japanese (and sometimes Chinese or Korean as I pick it up) in my blogs from here on out. Think of it as quirky and not retarded, plzkthx.

サア、じこうしょうかいさせていただきます！Accept this self introduction~
In my SL, I'm known as Rudra Dal. Ru-Ru. Ru. Hey, you. Any of those and maybe more if people feel cruel :P

This will soon be the kinda update place for the store I plan to open around Jan 1, 2007, called ".:fRUit:."

I'm not sure yet entirely what my starting line will be, but I have a feeling it'll mostly be casual tops for girls and guys, until at least I learn how to make prim skirts. My true intention is to make clothes that come in both adult and kid AV friendly forms. (Like, tops that have a boobie-shaded and non-boobie-shaded version.) I've also made a couple of pieces of furniture that I might put for sale...but first I need to learn how to work out those silly poseballs. (Such elementary stuff I don't know, gah!)

Anyway...list of crap Ru must do:
*make a layout for blog
*find a suitable vendor location for first shop
*finish 3 more shirts and a few other items before launch
*like 3 final papers

Good god, I'm even as boring in my SL as I am in my RL. Ugh.
