Of Kittens and Princesses
By Iris Ophelia | December 19, 2006
I’ve got a soft spot for kitties. The animal I’m most allergic to is the animal I am most fond of, so I’ve got quite an array of kitty accessories for someone who rarely ventures outside of their own species.
I’ll mention that I’m absolutely ashamed that I hadn’t tried Miriel Enfield’s eyes before she dropped the Natural and Unnatural Cat Collections on me. They’re quite glossy and luminous, and more to the point, hyper-realistic. Eyes are one of the most important modifications you can make to a basic avatar, and these are great windows to the kitty-cat soul inside.

Quite a change of pace is mentioning Sunnivah Jiutai’s supremely unique hairstyles from MAU’s & MEJ’s. This store has everything from clothing to weaponry, but the hair section features some of the most striking styles that I’ve seen in months.
There are some plain-Jane long and straight hairstyles, but what I’m talking about are a half dozen styles that will ring bells for fans of Chinese fairytale films like “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, “The Promise”, and the soon-to-be-released “Curse of the Golden Flower”. Hairstyles fit for a Chinese princess from dynasties long past, draped in trembling silk and dipped in jade ornaments. Shown is Padma, which I originally intended to wear with some sort of long-sleeved oriental gown… which I realized I don’t have any of. For the sake of accuracy a kimono would look ridiculous, so my focus changed from Chinese princess to Chinese demoness assassin. …I take my costuming very seriously, so stop laughing and enjoy the hair.
