“With luck, it might even snow for us.” ~ Haruki Murakami, After Dark

The is one of those late-in-the-season posts where nothing quite makes sense. A bed in the snow? A KittyCat lounging around? Candles? An igloo? Just chalk it up to SL and some awesome décor from gachas at Shiny Shabby from Serab and Superjaix. Those candles from Superjaix have all sorts of light adjustments for intensity, color, etc. And Serab’s bed has all sorts of yummy romantic poses but I used Luna Jubilee’s reclining poses from Shiny Shabby for this set of photos.

It all centers around those pajamas, Kimmera Madison’s gift today in the KittyCats & Friends Advent Calendar. With cats in glasses, they are the cat item for the holiday, the ones you wear to open your gifts around the tree, the ones you wear all day on those pajama days, your favoritest comfiest ones with the feets. They fit mesh bodies as well as system bodies so just throw ‘em on. Get some festive bows from Aikea Reiko at FROST for your ears, forgo the contacts for your glasses (from Glamistry) and snuggle up with the KittyCat.

Monicuzza Babenco has made another fabulous applier for the Logo Alex head, which I show here. I rarely like a parted mouth but with this gorgeous skin and the expression on this head, it’s sexy and totally believable. I wore Queue Marlowe’s wild and wavy new hair because it’s a day to let my hair down. And Santana Lumiere offers these great nail appliers at her store on sale right now for next to nothing, and if you purchase a special set she has at the front of the store, you are entered into a drawing to receive all 400+ of her nail sets. (Be careful what you wish for, hm?)

We know that in September, we will wander through the warm winds of summer’s wreckage. We will welcome summer’s ghost. ~ Henry Rollins

The evenings are still balmy here, which is fine with me because I am not looking forward to winter at all, especially as it’s been the past two years. So a stroll outside on one of the last warm evenings of the year is in order. Poulet Koenkamp’s sexy top with optional bolero comes with a texture change HUD for the bolero (which can be made invisible), the top, and the chain decoration. And unlike many creators, Poulet is not afraid of prints, creating a gorgeous satiny texture for these tops. I paired it with the leggings from Kiddo Oh’s new outfit for The Secret Affair, which I am sure she envisioned as more a fantasy look but I loved them as just wearable leggings, especially since they were made for the Maitreya body. Senzati0n Domenitzo’s great heels for the Body Modification Expo and Mea Carnell’s fall-themed leafy necklace for the Cosmo Room complete the look.

I ran to Kustom9 to try to rescue a lady from a life of slavery to the gacha for the pieces from helloaiko. I did not get the rare she wanted but I did get some others, including this cute little kitty backpack. Another great find from Kustom9 is this skin from Inka Mexicola. I am thrilled to see her putting out new skins and this one is exquisite with its sophisticated brow and youthful glow. Kuranosuke Kamachi has put this sexy casual hair in her store, versatile for many looks.
