I’ve been getting subscribe-o-matic and subscriber kiosk messages from stores I’ve never signed up for. I am not talking about a designer I even know or have heard about. Has anyone else encountered this?
Anyway, I’ve made a list of these stores and plan to never shop in them. Ever. How the hell do they even get my name? It’s not like I’ve been in-world in the last month or so. *shrug* C’est la vie.
I’ve been on the Internet a long time. I’ve met a lot of interesting and also crazy people in the communities I have hung out on the Internet. IRC, livejournal, various message boards, BBS’s, Prodigy, etc.
I’ve, to date, met people who have been in jail for various white collar and blue collar crimes, a guy who saw blood run out of faucets and other hallucinations, a few people now dead from heroin overdoses, saw plenty IRL fistfights started by something said online 3 weeks earlier, someone who performed surgery on his rat and sent me pictures, penises that looked like porky pig, and many many many other weirdos and sickos.
I can tell you one thing- despite being very eccentric these people have never been as hurtful as I’ve seen some people in Second Life be. The list above were people who actually were very supportive in times of trouble or need to the others in the online community we were members of. One of the main rules of the IRC channel I inherited many years ago was “We can fight, we can argue, we can air dirty laundry (and please do), but remember that in the end we are all friends and we love each other.” I don’t see this at all in the Second Life community. Granted SL is way larger than say an LJ community or an IRC channel but I know not everyone likes each other but the least people can do is respect each other.
For some reason, today, this really has gotten to me.
Yep, I’m once again hijacking Kesseret’s blog to tell you about a new product in my shop. Better late than never, it’s a sculpted easter basket! It looks fantastic, if I do say so myself. It’s moddable, so you can size it to fit your avatar, or remove treats you don’t like, or add things you do. It’s also scripted to throw eggs and treats, and a few of the treats inside have some fun effects where they drop particles or items on the head of any avatar you hit with them. The sculpted bows and cloth lining are scripted to change to different colors, mix and match to match your outfit or your mood.
Custom sculpts, animations, textures, scripting - tons of work went into this. Long delayed because I’ve been sick, and Jad (Script Wizard Extraordinaire) had a car accident, but we somehow managed to get it done before easter (barely). hope you like it, and hey, thanks for reading.
You can find it at my shop in Lost Angles - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lost%20Angles/95/29/27
or at my new shop in Brolga, which looks kinda futurey - http://slurl.com/secondlife/Brolga/200/19/501

Candy Cerveau, of Eye Candy Designs, has been a friend for a long time now and I’ve always admired her work. So today I have taken some photos of 2 of her pieces (my personal favorites) and I suggest if you haven’t gone down to the Armoire, you get going and get these pieces. They are priced so reasonably as well as being top quality. Not only that I can take pictures of my avatar- and who doesn’t love to make gorgeous pictures of their av?
First up is Hellenic Gold. I’m a fan of chunky. This necklace is sculpted and fits SO beautifully on my shoulders. I have worn it formal here, but you can totally go casual with this. It’s that versatile.
My intention was to have a Super Heart Ball gun in my hands but I couldn’t work it. Go get one it’s one the best novelty gun I own. (all other novelty guns I own are created by Ed Bumstead- so basically he is my source for guns that shoot crazy things). You can buy it here: secondlife://Lost%20Angles/94/28/30
Second up is the one that when I saw it I immediately crapped my pants. Yeah it’s that good! It’s called Blue Lotus. Not only does it fit gorgeously on your avatar’s shoulders it also gleams with awesomeness. I love the glowing textures for the gems.
Look at how beautiful that is!!! I especially think the lotus design was done so beautifully. I love this piece tons and knew the outfit to wear when taking this picture immediately. You can wear this with something less… avant garde.
So, what are you waiting for? Get thee to the Armoire Jewelry Showcase and hunt to get limited pieces and buy buy buy. It ends this evening and from 12pm - 2 pm SLT there will be a Not a Runway fashion show. The ladies will stand on pedestals with poses by LAP (yay Dove! Thank you) and you can zoom up and see the lucious quality. The extra bonus is you can see my stuff there as well.
Mucho loves,
Kess
With my collection for the Armoire completed it’s time to allow my hands to heal. I abused them the last week getting jewels out and I really cannot do surgery so I am hoping the medication works. Since I am at a computer at work I will be seeing you all on plurk! (heart)
I will be logging in for a few minutes in the evening for customer issues and other related items.
I wanted to say it was an incredible experience being in an event with 4 very talented ladies whose work I admire and respect so much. Thank you. (cozy)
KessKreations would like to introduce
AnnMarie is available in white pearls or black pearls. This set is a 3 stranded pearl necklace with offset 3 sculpted roses. AnnMarie’s metal options are: zirconium, gold, platinum. The roses have various color options (both solid and tipped roses). You can certainly match this set to most ANYTHING. Essentially you get 3 different hardware jewelry sets with I believe it’s 8 rose options. That’s 24 jewelry sets, but it only costs 3 inventory items! If you are concerned about wearing scripts in jewelry it is a single script in each object and it was written by Hippo Award winner Gigs Taggart. There is probably no other person who is as anal as he is regarding sim resources.
Price point for these items is 400L. Don’t let my prices fool you, my primwork is exceptional.
Items will be available at the Armoire Jewelry Showcase for the duration of the showcase, they will then be available at my mainstore on Amira.
You are invited to a special trunk-show designed to showcase finely crafted jewelry. Five designers (Candy Cerveau, Caliah Lyon, Violet Voltaire, Kesseret Steeplechase, and Saiyge Lotus) have created a mystical labyrinth with living dioramas that reflect the moods of their collections. In each of these rooms, models will showcase these jeweler’s wares, with a pavilion for purchases nestled at the center of the maze. The Journeyman’s Quest is the hunt challenge within this event, yielding jewelry (including limited edition items) for the tenacious journeyman jeweler. See jewelry in a way that you haven’t before!
You are a journeyman jeweler newly learning your trade. You have traveled to a magical labyrinth where you’ve heard you can perfect your skills with some of the finest jewelers in the land. You’ve been given a jewelry box to collect gems for your creations, and in the labyrinth, your task is to seek those magical gems. Collect six of each color to gain a Key of Knowledge that opens magical chests — do they hold the knowledge that you seek? Open the chests of silver and gold, and your quest for the Master’s exemplary jewelry is complete.

Lots more coming Mid March to KessKreations and Hilarious…. BOLO*, baby. BOLO*
*be on the lookout.
Yep, hijacking Kesseret’s blog again for my own nefarious purposes. Here’s the story:
I had a big Valentine’s Day themed item in the works, and due to several unforseen setbacks, it’s not going to be finished in time for Valentines. Ah! Disaster! But we must press on, and press on we shall.
So I’ve put all of my super Heart Ball guns on sale for 25% off. They made their debut last Valentines, so it seems fitting that I should put them on sale for this Valentines. Even the gift cards for them are on sale. Look for the display in the center of my store, which is at secondlife://Lost%20Angles/94/28/30:
Also, you can pick up a cute sculpted rubber duck shoulder pet for free, they’re right below the Heart Ball Gun Pack sale display!
The sale will last through Valentines Day weekend.
