Goodbye, Green Tower!

Remember how Little Secrets moved into Enercity Weston in September last year? What a party! I can still remember how exited I was at the prospect of not only being able to build a main shop for Little Secrets, but also of being able to do the one thing I’ve always wanted since I started playing Second Life: to build a really really tall tower. I made sure that it will be okay to have a real tall tower before I bought the land, and I remember Ener’s enthusiasm about the prospect.

In the end I didn’t build the shop or tower because I met Steamy, who gave it a go and what an awesome job he did! Ener loved his builds too, so Steamy and I installed the Ancient Spaceship and the Green Tower on my land.

Sadly, my neighbours did not like the tower much. And they never told me. I whish they did! Ener once mentioned that someone complained but she downplayed it and I didn’t find out about them hating it until the new sim owner asked me to take it down. This comes after the real sad weekend when Ener announced that she’s got to let her estate go (sob sob) so I feel a bit shaken right now.

But the Green Tower has got to go! I hate offending people, so it’s time to call the demolition team. I told Steamy. He wrote back: “Don’t sweat it Kim, it’s not worth it! I’ll build you another one when you get land where towers are legal.” What a nice bloke! I do appreciate guys like that.

I loved living in Enercity. It was funky and eclectic, a great place to explore, with secrets spots to find and zombies to avoid, totally unconventional, and always fun to be in. In every sense, it was so like the mood of the bikinis I make and sell: unconventional, a little rebellious, more than just a bit daring, but definitely never downright skanky.

I’ve been wondering today: although Enercity was perfect for Little Secrets, maybe Little Secrets no longer fits into Enercity. Perhaps it never did. Whatever the case, I do apologise to my fellow neighbours for irritating you guys! I’m truly sorry.

I guess Steamy’s right. Maybe I should find land where odd-ball towers are not only legal, but popular too.

That means that the Little Secrets main shop might move again in the next few weeks or months. If that’s the case, I’ll naturally post an update on this blog.

The green tower

Steamhand Xenobuilder, the young man that built the Ancient Spaceship that is now the main shop for Little Secrets, build a wonderful tower behind the spaceship, rising high above Second Life's clouds.

A winding walkway corkscrews inside the tower from ground level to a docking platform. Two small spaceships are docked to the tower just below the cloud base, and somewhat above the docking platform.

There is a bright beam shooting up inside the tower, through it's upper platform, into the endless sky. Is this a communication system,built by the aliens that crash-landed here in ancient times? Did they manage to contact their home world, or were they stranded here? Who knows?

To explore the green tower, transport to Little Secrets shop (http://bit.ly/kimshop), and you will find it behind the spaceship.

I don't usually bother with Halloween much... I mean, even daddy long legs freak me out! But I made a pumpkin bikini for a bit of laugh, and added it to the Little Secrets main shop (http://bit.ly/kimshop).

It's not quite as daring as some of the other Little Secrets bikinis, but it is a wee bit transparent, so might get you into trouble, so take it easy with the trick-or-treating :-)

Little Secrets spaceship

It took a week, but the new shop is now ready for business - inside the green spaceship you see behind me on this snapshot:







And here's the really good news: Salmon Scraps' lovely tattoos are now being sold here, too!



You can check it out at http://bit.ly/kimshop!

Apologies for any inconvenience caused during construction

The surveyors came, the architect completed her plans, the local council gave their blessing, and the builders erected their fences. And the digger arrived.



Yes, Kim’s land is about to get teraformed! And once this has been completed to his satisfaction, Steamhand will rez the ship. I can’t wait!

In the meantime, please accept my apology for any inconvenience caused during construction. The temporary building will remain intact as long as possible, and we’ll make sure you don’t drop into the ocean when you TP in.

New shop and makeover completed

A week ago, I bought my own land :-) Yes I've been renting for more than two years in Second Life, but finally took the plunge and bought a small plot of land in Enercity Weston from the charming Ener Hax.

This is where you will find it: http://bit.ly/kimshop

It took a few days to get sorted, but I've now built a shop, planted a few trees, and parked my beloved steampunk bike on the lawn. (I never had enough prims to do it before!)



Because I had to update all the bikinis in all the Little Secrets branches with new landmarks to the new shop, I took the opportunity to throw out all the old shop displays, and upgrade the branches with the new shop displays!

Here are the latest ones (there are another couple in my previous post):

Cute and daring Little Hearts bikinis for Valentine's day

After a week of frantic inspiration, texturing and testing, a brand new Little Hearts bikini is now available in the Little Secrets shop, just in time for your Valentine shopping.

It comes in three colours (red, white and black) and two versions: a cute dry bikini that is tiny but covers all the important bits, and then and a rather more daring wet bikini that almost covers the important bits, but not quite.

Because I've made it for a bit of fun on Valentine's day, each pack (L$100) contains a wet and a dry bikini.

There is also a colour pack that contains all three colours in both wet and dry for L$175, for girls who can't decide which colour they like best (and for you guys that are not quite sure what she likes).

The bikinis are transferable. (Hint for guys that want to get lucky: girls love gifts on Valentine's day!)

New colours added to the hazardous stripes range of bikinis

Since releasing the hazardous stripes bikini a week ago (a bikini that gets girls into so much trouble that we had to stick a warning onto each shop display), I received so many requests for more colours that I've added the three most asked-for colours to the range.

The hazardous stripes bikinis are now available in black, white, red, green and blue.

Hazardous stripes bikini

I've just completed a new creation called the Hazardous Stripes Bikini.

After seeing it in action though, I realised I may have gone to far, so decided to warn Sl residents against buying it.

Yes, you've heard right:

Do not buy this bikini! It will get you into more trouble than you can handle!



But, if you insist, and can't bear to live in any other way than dangerously, you will find it at my new shop in Nemnem: http://bit.ly/kimshop

A present for your lady love

2. Pick your favorite get-it-wet bikini
3. Buy one of the wrapped, transferable boxes

Yes, it's true: I've added bikinis that are wrapped up to the Little Secrets shop :-)

Christmas half-price slash sale

Yup, Little Secrets is one of the many shops in Second Life that decided to chop their proces way down, so that residents can buy their Christmas presents in spite of the economic turmoil in both Rl and SL.

As you'll know by now, Little Secrets sell the naughtiest get-it-wet bikinis ever, peek-a-boo shirts for dancers, and hot swim shorts for blokes.

So, why don't you head down to the Little Secrets shop (http://bit.ly/kimshop) for some Christmas pressies?

Award-winning hot swim shorts

I'm still getting stuff ready for next month's mystery event. The latest addition: some hot swim shorts for hunks.

I asked my friend Scotty Jigsaw to try it out, and he kindly posed for a promo shoot too (yes, thats him on the pic below).

And guess what? Wearing the new swim shorts, Scotty won a swimwear contest and a best in blue contest! Go Scotty!

I know that it's mostly Scotty's charm - and being the owner of the cutest butt in all of SL - that made him the winner, but I'm still very proud that my swim shorts are now award winning hot swim shorts. :-)


The hot swim shorts are available in bright blue, lime green, orange, hot red and dark gray, at the Little Secrets shop (http://bit.ly/kimshop)

Beach pack - and upcoming event

First thing next month, Little Secrets will take part in a totally fantastic event! I can't say too much about it right now, but it's going to involve lots of very sexy girls wearing very skimpy bikinis!

To gear up for this upcoming event, I'll add some new items to the Little Secrets shop.

The first new item is a beach pack that contains: a sheer blue bikini, a very sexy skin, and lots of suntan lotion. And I'm selling it for L$100, which makes it very good value for L$.

This is the result:

Aliens shirt

As you know by now, the Split Shirt contains 3 shirts in each set, and each on of the 3 shows more boob that the previous one.

And because the way that your stuff bursts out of your shirt reminded be a bit of those little monsters in the Aliens movies I thought that, for a laugh, I'll create a new shirt:

Yes, it's got A L I E N S on it!

The Split Shirts are also available with hottie, bustin' out, split open, and twin peeks. They are on sale in my Little Secrets shop: http://bit.ly/kimshop

Hottie shirt

A new friend asked if I could make her a split shirt with hottie on it. Of course I could!

This is me modeling it:


hottie is the latest in my series of Split Shirt sets.... each set contains 3 shirts, each one showing more boob that the previous one. ;-)

Also available: bustin' out, split open, and twin peeks. They are on sale in my Little Secrets shop: http://bit.ly/kimshop

Split shirt sets for dancers, now in-store, in-world

You will now find the range of split shirt sets in my Little Secrets shop.


You can choose between two colors (red and black), and also between two slogans: "split open" and "twin peeks". Each set contains 3 shirts: a sexy slit, a wider slit to let your nipples peep out, and then the last, wide open one one, flashing your boobs in all their glory!

Each set sells for L$100, at Little Secrets: http://bit.ly/kimshop

It rocks, it seduces, it tittilates, it's the split shirt sets!

Finally!

I lost track of the number of texture I had to upload. It ruined my finances like you wouldn't believe, but who cares!

It is finally ready to hit the stages and the dance floors: a slitted shirt that you can pull open to reveal your secrets to your boyfriend (or girlfriend, of course), or to the heavy tippers at the club where you work, or to the crazy crowd you're dancing with.


I'll add it to the Little Secrets shop as soon as I've boxed it up.

Peek preview: the naughtiest shirt ever!

Test-driving the prototype of the shirt I'm working on.....

But what does it do?

You'll have to way and see!
