Today.

I don't want to be part of the Mega-war. We're all out for the same goal, but this is the path I choose.


No matter what you choose to do today, make sure you support one of the campaigns to move awareness of copybotted material. Tell your friends, SL family...tell your priest.. Copybotting is bad. The end.

Get Reale and get Adventurous!

Yeah, I haven't blogged in a while...I'm a bad person..I should be punished.. So, anybody who's willing, just let me know. Anyway...despite all that, I have a ton of things to blog. If I can keep this up, I might be blogging every day for the next year and a half. I have a whole load of things I love.

First up, Reale. Dude, I love her stuff. Yes, stuff is a technical term. The first up is the Reale Tricot Coat in red.

Creepy? Yes... Beautiful? Heck yeah! Let me just tell you before I go on...most of her clothes are 200L. I'll give you a moment.... Ok..now...

This is made to be a set, but all pieces can be bought separately, and the belt comes in three sizes, which generally require very little adjustment.

The other thing, and shame on me for not blogging this sooner, is the Reasonable Desires Pyramid O' Death! Yeah, that's not really the name, but seriously...it's amazingly fun and great for groups! Before you head in, though...you must have the proper attire....

Yah? Yah! Reasonable Desires' Explore Jane. I love this outfit, and I generally leave off the undershirt, just because I think that makes it more Lara Croft, but that is just an option.

I'm not givng you pics of the inside! Go look for yourself...and when you have to push the buttons to go through the walls...run like your tail's on fire!

This is the Adventurous Lingerie, and I'm in love with it. Cute slits on either hip and tiny trim around all the edges. Austie is always best with the details, that's why she's the Queen of Underwear. Speaking of Austie's details...

The Adventurous Mega pack! Absolutely gorgeous textures on this outfit, and this is only one of the options, and or course I'd pick the one with the most boobage...

Off topic, RL related post. Please comment!

I've been complaining a lot about my work conditions on plurk, and I've realized that somebody needs to make observations. What started out as paper rant has now become an actual project. This is by no means the completed version. Comments are most welcome!


Lack of Communication:
-Between department heads
-Between departments in general
-Between management and staff
Communications are not only not open, but discouraged between departments. Tension is created because of impressions that all departments are intentionally working against each other. Even in the customer service department, tension is created by team leaders who give impressions that other departments want to see us “in trouble”. We are often told that other employees are “out to get us” and encouraged to keep records on other employees mistakes.
Possible solution:
Lack of Professionalism:
This is a huge issue in the customer service department. The representatives have no guidance as far as professionalism when speaking to landlords and tenants on the phone.
The general technique is to yell when yelled at. When voices raise on one end, a large number of the CSRs raise their voices in response. Landlords and tenants alike are routinely told “No, you are completely wrong!” in very strong voices instead of the “I'm sorry, you are mistaken/you have been given wrong information.” that is the standard in most call centers. Callers are often called liars, or it is very strongly implied. The initial response on call-ins is becoming increasingly belligerent from the beginning of the call, making it harder to resolve issues.
Possible solution:
Retraining of CSRs to ask questions politely, such as “May I place you on hold?” and examples of how best to convey that the information was wrong without being confrontational. There should be an enforced standards on courtesy instead of just did we give the correct information.
Lack of Consistent Standards:
Procedures for handling calls and issues are not consistently held or enforced throughout the department. Team leaders have different standards, making it harder to consult other team leaders in times of rush or when one is out. It slows down the process of correcting the issues accurately, and often increases the number of phone calls that go out to landlords and tenants for information.
Possible solution:
It would be enormously helpful if there were standardized information sheets that went to all employees. Also, if there were one person who collected the changes and formed them into a weekly or bi-weekly report. This person could also be in charge of the data resource sheets that all customer service employees use for their daily activities.
Lack of Ownership:
The customer service representatives and team leaders are showing constant and increasing lack of ownership in problem solving. In fact, very often, problem solving is frowned upon and seen as more of a bother than anything.

You make me feel like dancin'!

Except that I can't dance. It doesn't matter though...the new Rebel-X release has made magical things happen!


Mareea - Black Swan's Swansong is a work of beautiful, light textures.. Very delicate and extremely well detailed.

The detail work on the seams are extremely well done, and I probably should have removed all the netting for this picture, but it's just as beautiful as the dress itself..

It's a very transient sort of outfit that could go for a number of occasions. All the prim attachments have a number of locations, so you could probably hook up a nice pair of wings with it as well.

The other wonderful thing is that if you're going out where you don't need the entire princess-like ensemble to get your point across, the jewelry and top go great with a pair of jeans...

I love the new Shag hairdo called Coy with this outfit, but I also love it with the new Reasonable Desires outfit, Alpine Beer Girl.

As with most Reasonable Desires outfits, there are a lot of different wearing options, all awesome. It also comes with a lovely detailed beer, either for drinking or holding..and a goat..which..is an excellent goat. I was attacked by a goat when I was nine, so there will be no goat on this page... Stupid farm animals.

I think this one is my favorite though, being a traditionalist, myself.

Loving the detail work with this dress as well! It always amazes me at the amount of talent you see in SL.

I'm sorry I wasn't very wordy. I kind of feel like both of these lovely outfits sell themselves! The quality of work is outstanding and both designers should be very proud of the work they've done!

Postin' my Plurky Buddies - Part 1

Two things happened yesterday that made me realize that I wanted to do a posting like this. One, I realized how much plurk had influenced my shopping, and two, Albros Breda released new jewelry. Now, it might seem like I'm picking favorites, which is totally my business if I do(!), but I have some enormously talented people as plurk friends. It could take me years to get done plurking all their fabulousness... So..getting started!

CIHUAE Jewelry has released a bunch of things! It was hard for me to think while watching Coraline, so I only ended up with the one set, but I am going to go back and get the rest.

This one is Vintage Gold with the Pink choker and pastel pendant. It comes with everything...earrings, necklace, ring for either or both hands, bracelets... I'm in love with it. It's very delicately crafted and I find it to be elegant and gracefully glamorous..

The other night, I went to the MDR Photography studio party, and if you don't know the work of Arcadia and Rhodesy, you really should become familiar with them. However! The party was in honor of a new release from Reasonable Desires called Vanessa, which I now have..along with the super cute Cigarette Girl, neither of which I'm going to have pictures of, so go to the store and see for yourself. They did some great prizes, and I was excited to win....

The new Amelia Earhart outfit! I had the lead of Amelia in a play in fifth grade, so I've always had a soft spot for her. I know she didn't do this hair, but you have to admit, the outfit is outstanding.

I had never been to Reasonable Desires, but I have a thing about wearing other designer's work to a party for somebody else. I dunno, maybe it's me, I feel like it's rude. So rather than plod on in my pre-existing lingerie, I tp-ed down to buy an RD outfit...I was super-thrilled when I got there and wound up wearing Anne in Periwinkle.




It's fabulously retro, which is my favorite thing, but it's also wonderfully detailed! You have a ton of options with garters and stockings and girdles..but this is how I wore it. And I love the detail on the back....



It's really beautiful work...


Last, but certainly not least, there are new items at Naive! There are some great hoodies..and I bought one, but what I was most excited about was the Zoe Dress.

It's awesome and feminine, without looking like a five year old should be wearing it. There are several skirt options, as far as skirt movement and location. It comes in four colors, but as I'm trying to budget for vacation next month, I only bought it in my two faves...blue and purple..







So, in short...visit my plurky buddies at Naive, Savoir Faire (my shape), Reasonable Desires, Tacky Star (tattoo), and CIHUAE Jewelry!

Sari, I love you!

I got a DSN box recently that reminded me of some stuff I wanted to praise... Just so we're all clear, I love Sari Telling. There is one thing that I get all weird over in RL and it's Henna tattoos...I really suck at them though.. As much as I like some tattoos in SL (See Tacky Star! Especially 'Birdie Bye Bye' and 'Alice's Heart'...for the most part, I mega-loathe normal tattoo art. Sorry...I like to keep my dark on the inside where nobody knows when I'm going to spazz and kill everybody. So anyway! Sari Telling!

I love her shirt designs...this one is Ztrappy..with the East India Sailor tattoos...and some jeans I've had since 2007 from Simone.

Meditation with Ganesha...seemed appropriate enough. The top is 'Petal Puzzle' and I love how it covers, but not. The 'Lacey Days' tattoos are hands, arms, feet, and legs and come in a few different colors. I just like the red.

I got this 'Creepy' hair from Curio a few days ago, and it makes me feel like Violet from The Incredibles...

More Ganesha...with a pendant. And the Henna Tattoo pack.. Also..Paper Tiger I from Curio with a color changing band..I love this Anyway vest from Sari...another perfectly good reason to raid her shop!

This is one of my favorite new skins..and with all the sales lately, I have a lot of them... it's Tuli Sumi, the tanned version. It's like..eleventy something and comes in so many colors I haven't even managed to see them all yet.

And the reason we're all here today! The DSN box gave me this lovely 'Russian Doll' dress...and I was so excited! I love the Shiny Things wedges with it..and hey..there are the bird tattoos..

So, the moral to the story is...go buy me something from Sari's! http://slurl.com/secondlife/jirisan/211/86/568/

Do what with who?!

So, lately I've been all into this content theft thing. It really bugs me that it seems so rampant and that it's not confined to any particular ...I dunno what I mean here. It just bothers me!!

As much as I wish I could make clothes, shapes, and skins, I have to accept my limitations. I am a shopper, and that's just it. I'll have to be satisfied with going "Oh..I need a chair..." and making one.. I'm ok with that!

Today though, I had this weird conversation.....

[10:55] Hommie Pearl: Kyria

[10:56] Kyria Tomsen: Yes?

[10:57] Hommie Pearl: i'm selling a pack of clothes

[10:57] Hommie Pearl: do you want to buy?

[10:57] Kyria Tomsen: What kind of clothes?

[10:57] Hommie Pearl: 300 clothes for mens and womens

[10:57] Hommie Pearl: from sm

[10:57] Hommie Pearl: a brazilian sl clothes

[10:57] Kyria Tomsen: Pre-made?

[10:58] Hommie Pearl: all the clothes are for revendors

[10:58] Hommie Pearl: is a venddor pack

[10:58] Kyria Tomsen: What kind of clothes?

[10:58] Hommie Pearl: social and normal clothes

[10:59] Hommie Pearl: have lots of dresses

[10:59] Hommie Pearl: and social clothes

[10:59] Hommie Pearl: and good stuff

[10:59] Kyria Tomsen: No, thanks. I have lots and if I start to make some, I'll do my own.[10:59] Hommie Pearl: good

[10:59] Hommie Pearl: the price is cheap

[10:59] Hommie Pearl: at the store

[10:59] Hommie Pearl: this clothes costs more than

[10:59] Hommie Pearl: 1500 lindnes

[10:59] Hommie Pearl: with me

[11:00] Kyria Tomsen: What store are they from?

[11:00] Hommie Pearl: the maker are the sm

[11:00] Hommie Pearl: they resell

[11:00] Hommie Pearl: for stores

[11:00] Hommie Pearl: i was bought with a friend

[11:01] Kyria Tomsen: Again, thank you, but no.

[11:01] Hommie Pearl: ok

[11:01] Hommie Pearl: thanks

One might ask, "Who is this Hommie Pearl person?" I dunno...and the profile didn't help with that either. I was somewhat torn... I thought about buying them, just to see what they were. I didn't want stolen content, and I also don't want to give money to people who steal content... I don't know that they *are* stolen..but how weird is that? And yeah, the picture has nothing to do with anything.....I'm just in love with my new home.

Happy 4th!

So, I was feeling pretty grumpy to begin with today...then I decided to clean out my closets. Then I had Wendy's and went to Walmart. As you can imagine, my mood did not improve.


I thought to myself, "Self, what is it that makes you happy...happier than anything ever?" I came up with a lot of things, but what I settled for was creating 'Take your Alt to Hair Fair" day. I thought about how I like my alt, but really...spending money on her...over-rated. I've spent money at HF, so I'm not a total leech.

I got to HF, working on my chipper...and landed next to this...

Well...that got me going. I just started flying around HF, observing after that.

I really like getting the 'No Lag' signs behind people...

At least this chick left her shoes at home...

What you can't see about this picture is that they all have 'Family' tags...

Parents, if you don't teach your child avi about lag, who will...?

I don't even know what the cathair is up with her...she had a bird, white flapping wings, a nurse's outfit, and a giant hypodermic... Be afraid.

Heehee...this is my favorite...

I do feel happier :) I'll have to refrain from being this catty until Hair Fair '10!

My Hair Fair 2009 Outfit

Ok, here's my new pet peeve...because I just needed *one* more thing...

Do not wear your primmiest outfit to Hair Fair! We ain't there to look at you! We just want you out of our way so we can see the hair! Get your demos and try them on at home! And don't make me go bold again!

With fondest wishes for the future,

Ky, barefoot with no jewelry and 24 prim hair

XXXXXXX

Mad Hattering

I get on tangents. It's a thing. I start wandering around SL looking for the *perfect* whatever it is that I'm chasing at the time. The other day, I was chasing rain coats...which I didn't find. However, I did find...

I think it's great... I nearly bought out Split Pea... I think one of the things I love about the items is their names. I'm not good with product names, I don't claim to be. I respect and adore people who are. The hat is (Don't go back to)Rockville - Dirty, and the dress is Sometimes I Just Look Fabulous.

And yes, that's a new shape...Isabelle, by Hybrid at Savoir Faire, who doesn't know it, but saved me from relentless skin searching. I've had this skin, Lisa from Insolence since I was old enough to SL walk, but I've never been satisfied. I was positive it was a skin issue, but apparently not.. Now I can say 'Eh, skin..., but check out my shape!'

I also bought The Preacher Got Me Drunk Hat...which goes wonderfully with ...

The new Toile dress from 1800-Betties! It comes in four different designs, and I got them all....

Hair- Rina in *choco*, /artilleri/

Skin - Lisa Sunkiss, Insolence

Shape - Isabelle, Savoir Faire

Red Dress - Sometimes I Just Look Fabulous, Split Pea

Hats - The Preacher Got Me Drunk and (Don't go back to)Rockville, Split Pea

Sunglasses - London Tac...I dunno, had them forever.

Shoes - Retrohoochie pumps in black, Shiny Things

White Dress - *1800-B*Halter Dress in Toile, 1800-Betties

Stockings - No.9 Nylons Vintage in coffee, No.9 Nylons

Earrings - Multi Moonstone with Diamonds Gold, BijouxOr Design (freebie at Alienbear Design)

Necklace - Simple Drop Necklace in silver/obsidian, Muse (Another Freebie)
