Day 119 - Bad Faerycat, no cookie

Its been a very busy time for me, so of course, no updates since my earliest days alive in SL. Not really an excuse, just a fact, really. I'm no longer dancing, which I suppose is both good and bad, since means less revenue to roll back into my shop, but also means less blushing too. DJing went from being a well paid gig with few tips, to decent tips but no actual pay beyond that, but got something called an agent for that.

My store. I'd decide to start off making lamps and other types of low prim furnishings. Figured, very few folks make such things, so less likely to be lost in the shuffle - and I think I guessed wrong. My lamps are pretty, I think, and have custom scripting to turn it off and on, with only the lampshade glowing. My rug is well done too, with 10 different textures, menu-recolourable fringe and modible too, so you can make them different lengths and widths. My sideboards might be really simple, but everything is using custom textures, except for the fringe, which was a free texture I desaturated for use. Nothing has sold.

I'm about to start doing shapes and skins. I keep getting compliments on my own, which I've done myself. Might also throw in jewelry and clothing, once I manage to get a few designs out of my head. I'm really picky, so if it comes out well, I'll wear it, and considering stuff I've bought myself that's not been nearly as good as the pictures lead you to believe.....well, if I can just start getting recognized...

Anyway, if you are curious about my shop, just look for Faerycat Designs. Its in Los Pengos.

Day 1 - The birth of a new Fae

Hi - I'm Aribeth and I just started my new life in a place called Second Life. I'm a fae, or faery, or one of the fair folk, depending on how you want to put it.

I spent a good part of my first day looking for clothing and a job. The clothing was managed, but a job looks like it might be harder. But after doing some searching, I've learned a few things. For one, free does not always mean free. And its a cruel joke on newcomers who haven't any money at all yet. I also learned that there are some really nice folks out there who give out gift cards or free outfits. So, I at least look closer to what I should.

Currently, I'm sitting in a chair waiting patiently for a pair of cat ears and a tail to sprout. Hey, not all fae are little elfin creatures, at least not all the time.
