mAgiC 8 - hApPy biRtHdAy sEcOnD LifE !!!

in honor of SL8B (the 2 week long second life birthday party) KittyCatS! has made a special  "Magic Birthday Cat" that we are giving out as a gift to all of SL.

The Collectors KittyCat comes with food (that looks like a birthday cake with 8 candles on it) is born from a Magician's Hat, and also comes with a little hat, cape and magic wand that your cat can wear when it grows up.

2 Birthday Kitties celebrate SL's 8th birthday!

The cat is available on the SL8B Astonish Sim, on the left hand front side of our exhibit where it says "click this hat to get your cat"

Happy Birthday to you all, the people who make Second Life the place of Magic and wonder that it is, may you have many more!

RFL of SL & KittyCatS! announcement...

WOW, it's been a crazy few months. I've been loving the KittyCatS! community & all the awesome people I get to meet & chat with. It's been a fun challenge for me personally moving into a different way of doing "art" but it's been really fun too.

We recently were asked to create an "official" Relay For Life of Second Life special KittyCat and after hearing the details, we were thrilled to say "yes".

The KittyCat will be presented at the Home Expo on Saturday and Equinox & I have the honor of presenting it... no clue what I'm gonna say but I'm sure I'll be nervous!

Tommy & me... he's a large male Bengal Sorrell who let me put a girly collar on  him!

This is personally special to me for a few reasons... one is due to being so busy with the KittyCatS! I was unable to join Fashion Fair which my dear friend Harper Beresford did for RFL. I really wanted to be able to participate... Also, the woman who invited me into SL, Sue Stonebender, was VERY involved in RFL from the beginning and my first ever "charity" thing in SL was a limited Edition gown that I got to do with Sue... also... I've met so many people in SL who have battled cancer, some have won, some are still fighting and some sadly lost the battle but I wont ever forget the impact they had in my life.

I'll write more later as for now it's off to keep working on the cat for the expo :) it's really fun :)

Hope to see you at the Expo!

P.S. Here is the "official" announcement as posted on the HOME EXPO blog....

**************

Relay For Life of Second Life & KittyCatS! Partner for a specially commissioned RFLofSL KittyCatS! cat to benefit the American Cancer Society.

RFL of SL is thrilled to announce that KittyCatS! will be creating a special RFL of SL “KittyCatS Cat” that will be presented at the Home Expo on May 14th.

Both the RFL team and The KittyCatS! team (Callie Cline, Dennis Lagan & Equinox Pinion) are equally excited about this partnering and thrilled they could work together for this very special cause.
The new KittyCat will make its debut at the Home Expo on  May 14th.

Callie Cline and Equinox Pinion  will be presenting the new kitty on the Expo’s Main Stage at 12:30 pm, followed by the launch of a live music concert with Mankind Tracer.  This marks the first time that RFL of SL has joined in a partnership of this type and they look forward to the KittyCatS’ presence at Relay Team Events, at the Expo and at Relay weekend, right alongside the Linden Bears.

“We’re really honoured to have been asked to partner with RFL and to be a sponsor at the Expo” says Callie, “We think it’s also very exciting for the pet and breedables community as a whole, as well.” So many people are affected by cancer in the world, and it is humbling to play a small part  with so many great creators and people who are involved in this event.”

 ”Like Callie, I too am honored to be part of RFL. It’s a great event in Second Life with a deep history.  We’re excited that KittyCatS! was asked to make a commemorative cat and partner with RFL of SL in this new way. People love animals and they bring so much joy into the world… We hope our contribution will provide meaning and help RFL with their goals.” says Equniox Pinion.

Home Expo coordinator, Nikki Mathieson said, ” We’re thrilled about this partnership and what it can do for Relay, the Home Expo and the over all experience for those who attend. It’s exciting when talented, creative people come together to put their very best work out there for others to enjoy, while benefiting such an important cause.  At the same time, pets are an integral part of our RL and SL.  KittyCatS! are wonderful virtual pets… interactive and versatile. They have grown quickly in popularity since their launch in February due to many factors, including how adorable they are, how well they function, their low lag and the fantastic customer care that the KittyCatS staff provide.  I’m confident that the RFL KittyCat will bring a diverse and new group of visitor’s to the Expo and help us to expand its reach to a larger variety of SL’ers than it has in its first 3 years.”

Relay For Life of Second Life Event Chair MamaP Beerbaum adds,  “Thank you so much Callie, Equinox and Dennis for partnering with us.  I am so grateful to you for supporting our efforts in SL with such enthusiasm and generosity!  This is so exciting I can hardly stand it!!   RFL KittyCatS!!  I can not wait to get mine!!  I will be there at the release on May 14th!!”

From the single pet owner, to those that enjoy breeding to those who love interaction and discovery and to all those in-between! KittyCatS! are more of a “Pet that can breed” rather than a “breedable” as they do much more than breed! KittyCatS feature elements of discovery, realism, mystery and wonder so that you will have a rich and rewarding experience with them and discover more and more about them as time goes on.

Leprecats! Feeling lucky anyone?

I had so much FUN making these KittyCatS for the St. Patrick's Day holiday. They have Emerald eyes and collars and are sold singly, as a boy or girl or in pairs. if you breed these 2 special KittyCatS you can have a special Leprekitten... and only 100 of those will ever be born.

it's not easy being green. 

I'll be putting out my green bowas and "kiss me all clover" stuff too in my store... but wanted to show you these first :)

They are available at the KittyCatS sim, Pampered Pets in So caL, and The Mango Yacht club. They are transferable too so they could make a cute gift for someone who likes green leopard cats!

OOOOOH and Barnesworth Anubis made a CUTE Leprecat Hideway house for them that's SO adorable :) it's at all the locations too :)

my personal cat tale... (the edited version)

domino and me in the park

 a few years ago i started working on a little project making little cats that my customers would be able to carry in purses or use as fashion accessories. when the whole maxim/pontiac thing happened that project, was put on the shelf. when i began designing i had a cat in each of my little stores that walked around and bumped into my customers. i've always loved them and own about 8 different kinds of SL cats. (non breeding ones)

my first SL cat who was copy and in each store

in RL my first pet was a cat. a grey persian my parents bought me for my one year old birthday. susie was her name. i don't remember her at all now, (she sadly got ran over when i was very young). but my whole life growing up i always had a cat of my very own. i grew up on a "farm" not a real farm but for southern california, 5 acres with pigs, horses, sheep, cows, ducks, peacocks, chickens, a goat (yes i had to milk it before school) and horses and more i guess can qualify for a farm of sorts. i collected eggs also before school... i didn't like the milking and egg collecting so much, but the horses and my cats always. we also raised dogs. english springer spaniels, german shepherds, doberman pinschers and... staffordshire terriers (yes, pit bulls). it was always fun to have little puppies running around and stuff. but nothing every took the place of my kitties to me. (ok well my pet raccoon did when it was a baby before it bit me)

adoring domino

fast forward to now...  early this week, KittyCatS! was launched.  it's a project i've been working on for quite a while with 2 people i met in SL who are also cat lovers. Equniox Pinion & Dennis Lagan. We've created a pet KittyCat that can breed, and play and cuddle and interact and it's been quite an adventure to say the very least. (they come in 5 types to start and can be bred where a LOT of different kinds of cats will be discovered. they can also but turned into pets which require no food and don't breed but just are nice pets who love you.)

this project though challenged me as an artist in a lot of ways, mostly learning to paint in a 3d program. YIKES! i'm still learning and have a LONG way to go, but it's been fun too. (my main job was making the cats and the visuals, and all kind of stuff)

sometimes i wonder if all of us in SL are a little bit crazy, and i surely thought i was many times during this project. fighting sculpties was NOOOO fun. thankfully some awesome people we there to help me on that part of the project, Gospel Voom, Maxwell Graf and Anthonys Repbulic were invaluable in their input and encouragement and willingness to offer tips and support. awesome people!

anyway... lest i go on and on... if you'd like to see our little KittyCatS! you can get a peak at them on our sim... named simply KittyCatS . you'll find them walking around, chasing butterflies, sleeping, running, washing their faces, lying around and more. our store was built by my longtime great friend barnesworth anubis who has stuck with me in my first venture into the SL animal world when we started making posh chicken housing... and boy what a wild ride it's been. he's created some outstanding stuff for the KittyCatS and it's available in the store as well.

in closing this post, i'd just like to thank a few people who's support really was so so appreciated personally by me. words really can't say how thankful i am to them. well first to equinox and dennis, thanks for everything and most of all being committed to excellence and hard work. i'm amazed by both of you in more ways than i can express. jaz zephyr & moondoggy, harper beresford, meara deschanel, sexypandora bailey, bho, barnes, stroker serpentine, tab scott, gospel, maxwell, anthony, night singh, and also jon, who i worked with on the sculpts. he wouldn't dare come into secondlife, but i'm gonna try to get him to read this post! (hi jon!) (we worked together on RL projects i've done) there are a lot of other people who gave me a lot of support during this time so if i have forgotten anyone... please forgive me!

well that's my little cat tale for now... it's a story i hope will continue on for some time.

i've missed blogging and will hopefully do more soon!

xoxo,

callie

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

hello... i just wanted to write a very quick note saying "thank you". i'm thankful for so much today as i reflect on the amazing amounts of blessings i have in my life. some that come to mind are:

1. my orange tree in my back yard that faithfully gives delicious oranges every year
2. my little dog who is just always so fun and cute
3. my Chinese magnolia tree that sits outside my window and displays beautiful pink blooms a few times a year
4. a really nice warm bed to sleep in with TONS of pillows
5. a bunch of family i'll be seeing very soon.
6. some wonderful people i've met in SL who are customers, friends, and biz associates.

i could go on and on i think for days.... i was thinking about... how many blessings are around me and how much i have to be thankful for, it was pretty cool, then i thought about how many problems i could find if i wanted to think about that...

i think what i am most thankful for today is seeing in a new way how there are SO many things around us, things we can be thankful for or things that are "problems" and WOW. i think i'll try to think more on those things that are the blessings!

have a great thanksgiving and thanks for being friends, customers, acquaintances, and for who you are.

xoxo,

callie


p.s. if you IM me, i set up this thing where you get a little snowflake gift :) lol. i hope it works when i'm offline! lol.

ECHO'S SONG... a new version... 50L friday special...

 hey all, this is my 50L friday offering this week. a version of the Echo's song gown i made for DU19.

bend but don't break!

oh this post is not advertising anything although i am wearing some vintage digit darkes and new idyra shoes... i think truths hair and some old shiny things earings... when i saw this photo on my desktop today, i thought about how life has been a stretch lately in a lot of different ways.

it doesn't always feel good or i guess look good. they say the results are good. a very dear member of my family passed away in the past couple weeks and another close family member had a close call with leaving this life, but for now they're staying around. 

i've heard from some of you that similar "stretches" are happening in different areas of your life and i guess this photo can be a humorous way to say, "bend just don't break" and "you're not the only one!"

hang in there, take time to laugh at yourself, especially when you're being stretched and look like this!

xoxox,

callie

the russian and chinese judges scored this move a 10!

p.s. i've been thinking if these keeps happening, i'm gonna join a circus or try to for olympics :)
