Happy Birthday Virtual Neko Blog! (plus handy Neko FAQs)

Virtual Neko — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 19:22:35 GMT

One year ago today, a little Neko blog was born into a virtual world called Second Life.

At the time, I had no idea what it would become� I just knew I wanted to figure out this Neko thing � what was a Neko, why did someone become a Neko, and more to the point, how could I become a Neko in Second Life?

Come nibble a birthday cupcake with me, and if you're curious, find out the answers to all your Neko questions� here on my Virtual Neko blog.

Virtual Neko in Second Life: My Long Lost Dragon Neko Cousin

Virtual Neko — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 19:35:39 GMT

I still remember the sense of awe and magic I felt the first time I arrived at the Isle of Wyrms. Standing amidst these incredibly majestic dragons was enough to make even the most nonchalant Neko pause with respect.

Imagine my surprise to discover that one of them is a distant relative! Come see the adorable outfit I was wearing when I met this �cat dragon� on my Virtual Neko blog�

Virtual Neko: Cyberpunk Kitty

Virtual Neko — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:05:12 GMT

One night when I was just a young Neko girl, I had a dream about a man with a strange mechanical device on his head. When I asked him what it was, he turned to me with an infinitely indescribable look, and a tear slipped down his cheek. �It is my prison, my addiction, my pandora. Without it, I would die. With it, I have tasted the apple that no human was meant to touch.�

Who was he, and where would I find the likes of him in Second Life? Find out on my Virtual Neko blog�

Virtual Neko in Second Life: A Purrfect Neko Family

Virtual Neko — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 03:57:00 GMT

Here�s the story� of a lovely lady
Who was bartending at Laguna Bar one night�
When a man fell� upon her counter,
�Do I know you?� �Well yes, you might!�

With all due apologies for having muddled The Brady Bunch(tm) theme, the story is strangely familiar: two people meet in Second Life, then later hook up in real life, and become such good friends that they adopt a virtual daughter and start living together in happy Neko family-hood.

Sound too strange to believe? Read the full story (and see if you can beat their record for number of prims worn in one Neko outfit) at my Virtual Neko blog�

Virtual Neko in Second Life: Neko in Wonderland

Virtual Neko — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 20:20:09 GMT

Admit it. You�re no more likely than I was to put �Neko� and �Alice in Wonderland� in the same sentence, much less the same photo.

But the minute Bobby saw an absolutely adorable �Alice�s Adventures in Wonderland Storybook" (chock full of cute poses), he was so inspired that he wouldn�t rest until I�d found my very own Alice outfit. After I saw his photo, I think �inspired� may well be an understatement. Come see what you think, and get all the lovely details on my Virtual Neko blog�

Virtual Neko: Kimono Love

Virtual Neko — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 07:28:20 GMT

I dare you to take one look at the beautiful kimonos being created in Second Life, and see if you don�t dash off to the best kimono store you can find for a chance to look this gorgeous. I would expect nothing less of any self-respecting, fashion-minded Neko girl. The only question remaining: where would a Neko wearing such a beautiful kimono go exploring?

Virtual Neko: Kawaii Not?

Virtual Neko — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:11:52 GMT

What does it mean to be a �kawaii� Neko? Most of the time, kawaii is simply translated to mean �cute.� But as Rini Yamada says on MyNippon.com, ��it is much, much more than a fashion statement � Kawaii is a lifestyle and an attitude.� Take a walk on the kawaii side on my Virtual Neko blog�

Virtual Neko: Give in to Temptation with Rebel -X-

Virtual Neko — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 04:34:01 GMT

There I was, innocently exploring a Neko mall when I spotted an amazing texture inside a store across the plaza. Neko ears in the vendor picture reassured me that potential shopping quarry was at hand, and I sauntered closer.

That�s when it happened. A dress with black lace arrested my texture-loving heart and dragged my mouse (evil, singularly-minded, linden-devouring creatures that mice are) up to the �purchase� position. Suddenly �Nightshade� was mine� now� where to explore? Come find out on my Virtual Neko blog�
