White Tabby Skin (Perla goes Neko)

Perla: Hello LoveCat.
 It is my pleasure to have you as one of my designer spotlights on my blog. my blog goes out to a lot of feeds and has a high readership. Actually I have a waiting list but I love your clothe,the details and your experience.

LoveCat: Thank you so much for the huge compliment. I appreciate your taking the time to look at my shop and feature it.. it is really an honor.

Perla: What triggered you to start designing and did you have more of a Neko style in mind?

LoveCat:I actually began as a builder, and was into the neko style. I made some little odds and ends that I couldn't find for myself, boomers, ears, and tails. It started out as just for fun, but my friends pushed me to open a little store. It really took off quickly. I have always been interested in many styles, neko, fantasy and formal wear as well. I've been enjoying the opportunity to design for many different styles and genres.

Perla: How long has LoveCats been in business?
2 years ago this past February the first little shop opened. I started out with the little neko accessories, furniture and a couple of horrible outfits. I never intended to get into clothing but my customers enjoyed the few I made and pushed me to make more.. so I really changed directions. It was  a happy accident.

Perla: I often see a lot of Nekos around SL, not on regular sims but on roleplay sims. I am sure they would love this store.
If your store was in the midst of a fire and you could only grab one outfit, which outfit would you pick>
LoveCat: That would be very difficult. I think I would choose "Fallen"

Perla: Do you hire live models or have your own model group?
LoveCat:We hire models to work live in store, they become a part of the LoveCats family- we have our own model group.

Perla:Do you take custom orders?
LoveCat: I do not have the time for custom orders at this time, unfortunately.


Perla: Tell us something unique about yourself? Something off the wall.
In real life I was a vintage clothing dealer. I still have a passion for vintage and miss it a little but I enjoy immensely creating in sl. Besides clothing I love landscaping and creating immerse environments. I am really excited about the creative potential in sl.

Perla: Do  you have any upcoming shows?

Yes. We will be featured on MODA Fashion Spotlight on May 9 at 7:30 pm slt.
it can be watched at
http://www.Treet.tv, or an archived program will be at http://archive.treet.tv/programs/moda-fashion

Snakeskin 
 Perla:  Any last words?
LoveCat: There are many exciting changes coming at LoveCats in the future. I am enjoying designing for nekos, fairies, and the average sl girl. I think we truly have something for everyone and it will only get better :)

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day talking to me LoveCat. Please visit LoveCats as I am sure you wont be disappointed.!

SILKEN MOON: SPOLTLIGHT ON DESIGNER

On one of my many journeys  throughout Second Life one of my friends suggested that I visit Silken Moon,  a relatively new skin shop. Of course I stopped by the store and was immediately impressed with the wide variety of skin selections available. The owner of Silken Moon is Malicia Python and below is some information and a few pictures of some of her skins.

Malicia Python, Owner of Silken Moon
Perla: Hi Malicia,
It was really great discovering your store the other day and you have such a big variety of skins. Tell me what inspires you when you start a new collection?

Malicia: Hello Perla, was nice showing you around. To your question: Inspiration can be anything. Usually it is something visual that ignites an idea. Mostly, it is a look or a character I want to create. Like seeing a tartan pattern and it becomes a punk girl with an all snotty arrogant expression.
I want my skins to be emotional, not just beautiful. The creating is not always conscious, sometimes I just feel like messing around and then it flows. Looking at it later, I see what was on my mind making the skin.
Perla: What made you decide to start creating skins?

Malicia:  I got my first set of templates to see how skins are actually made, I had no idea before. Then I messed around with it. The skin was terrible - I still have it though. But I was kind of hooked as you might see. *grins*

Perla: You mentioned that the Drama Queen Skins are inspired by Elizabeth Taylor correct?

Malicia:Yes, I was surprised how much her death shocked me, thinking of it I found she was the last one of an era of Divas - and one of my face celebs. Thus, she always reminded me of my RL Mom, though my Mom was only married half as often :).
I was working on a completely different idea but somehow ended with those lush lips and thin eyebrows. when I looked at her, I thought "hi Liz". A good example of my mind flowing into my work without me knowing it. To take the sadness out of it, I went for the "Drama Queen" theme. Guess Liz would have liked it, she ordered to be 15 minutes late to her own funeral. That is style in excess.

Perla:  I noticed a lot of your skins are good for RP Sims. Do you have any favorite RP sims?. I actually go to a combat RP sim and my character is a lycan/vampire hybrid..:-)..Its good to have skins to be able to play the role.

Malicia: Unfortunately, I don't have any time for RP. I played Bloodlines when I started. But all those characters are very inspiring, I love to work out of the box. I always liked "freaky skins" but it was hard to get really good ones. Thats another thing that makes me do something, because I want to have it.
OMG, I babble, back to the sim question, it is definitely the Omega sim, I don't know what role-play is allowed there, but the buildings and texturing are stunning.

Perla: Have you ever featured your skins in a show or do you have plans to feature your skins in a fashion show?
Malicia: I think the only time my skins were in a show was The first Mary Jane Shoes show, Cirque de Sole. Infiniti, the owner, got the GothShas for all the models. Unfortunately, it was in the middle of my night, so I could not see it. But I been told it was a blast. I felt really honored by her choice. !Silken Moon only opened last October, so I hope, there is way more to come.

Perla: Ok this is an off the wall question. What is your favorite movie?

Malicia: ÖÖ I have such difficulties to have one favorite of anything. But I guess it would be something directed by Tim Burton.

Is there anything else that you would like to tell the readers?

Malicia: Hell, thats a tough one. Maybe that one: beauty is only skin deep, always check what's under the surface. Oh my, now I want that on my tombstone and be 16 minutes late for the funeral XD.
