I fell in love with the nerd glasses Akasha had on in the last picture I posted with her interview, and when I asked her where she got them I was sent to Artilleri. I've been to Artilleri a million times, they really do have some great retro pieces. As always when shopping, I am there for the glasses and end up picking up these super cool beach loungers, the Magda Lounger, complete with tanning reflectors! I got two so I can sit and tan with a friend! They are also color changeable, with 5 options. It comes with adorable accessories as well: a magazine, towel, tanning lotion, shades, and a cool beverage. For only $180L, this is a must have for any bathing beauty!
Me and one of my best girlfriends Janise: laying out and catching up!
Me and one of my best girlfriends Janise: laying out and catching up!
Chloe: When did you start on SL and how did you stumble upon it?
Akasha: --Well my born date is November 2, 2006...a friend of mine from an old messageboard I used to frequent asked me if I had heard of Second Life, I hadnt so I was promptly ushered in.
Chloe: Tell us what you do here in SL...
Akasha: --ahhh lets see, I build...try to keep my store running smoothly (CatniP), goof off with my friends, sex my man up and start trouble as often as i can
Chloe: How did you get started with that?
Akasha: --Im guessing this question is about my building/store xD...well I have a pretty active imagination and I just had an urge to share my insanity with others. Thank God there are alot of twisted people out there who get my sense of humor and like my builds.
Chloe: What advice can you give to our readers who are also interested in becoming successful in your field? Were there mistakes you made that they can avoid? Something or things you did *right* that catapulted your success?
Akasha: --My advice to be successful-do what you love. If you enjoy what you're building, chances are others will too. A huge mistake that I made in the beginning was bringing in friends as business partners. Things turned sour pretty quick and friendships were damaged over business related arguments. I have since learned from that mistake and run solo ^.^
Something I did right? Building what I love, adding humor to my products...and just treating every customer with respect.
Chloe: Approximately how much $L did it cost for you to start your business, and how long did it take for you to turn a profit?
Akasha: Oh lord that was so long ago its hard to tell...Didnt really cost all that much to start up the business, I was fortunate to have had the land and building donated. I began seeing profit in about two months.
Chloe: Tell us your favorite...

Akasha: --Yea, pretty much except my avi has giant, fantastic jugs--In rl Im lacking in that department.
Chloe: How do you feel about romantic relationships in SL? Have you had any of significance? Crossed over to RL at all? Horror stories?
Akasha: -- I think SL is a wonderful outlet to meet and interract with people, of course romance will naturally weave itself in. Romance in SL can be magical or heartbreaking you just have to be careful on who you give your heart to...its so easy to decieve when you can hide behind a monitor, and sadly many take advantage of that.
Ive had two really significant relationships while in SL...the first was a horror story--basically I found out he had been living a double SL life, complete with another digital wife. That episode really crushed me emotionally. The second relationship, is the one Im in now...he healed me and we have fallen head over heels in love with each other and plan to meet in RL in the near future.
**waves to her hubby Skirnir** <3
Chloe: Biggest jerk, liar, or psycho you have encountered so far? Do tell!
Akasha: ahh damn what a loaded question lol...well Im not into naming names but I have run into a few very bad apples on here.
Chloe: Do you have a residence here in SL? Do you rent or own?
Akasha: Yeah, me and my best friend Piper, and my hunnie Skir share a sim together, where we can run around and be total asshats without bothering anyone else.
Chloe: Mind telling us what sim it's on?
Akasha: Jareth
Chloe: Where did you get your house? Is it a prefab or did you have it built? If so by who? Mind sharing a pic?
Akasha: Well the sim started as a project, we were going to recreate the movie Labyrinth...but we got sidetracked. So now Its a mixed theme of Labyrinth, vamp and Alice in Wonderland. We all share a beautiful, gothic pre-fab castle

Chloe: Funniest thing you've seen so far:
Akasha: heh, impossible to pinpoint--everyday me and my friends are doing something totally retarded and side splitting.
Chloe: Lamest pick-up line that's been tossed your way:
Akasha: you sex me now yes?
Chloe: To "Mute" or not to "Mute"? What makes you cut someone off like that?
Akasha: Well I went about a full year without having anyone muted, but now there are a few stalkers and content thiefs on the list.
Chloe: Got anything coming up you want to plug? Any friends whose ventures you want to tell us about? If you have a blog, tell us the URL here!
Akasha: Well Of course my shop CatniP!! I always have new, fun stuff coming out each week-If you havent been by yet you should come check it out, I guarantee you will find something there that amuses you ^.^

From the Rezzable website:
There are almost 90 participants, spreaded across 4 sims. The Hair Fair is sponsored by Rezzable, who have donated the islands for this charity event. Hair Fair donates proceeds to Locks of Love, an organization that donates wigs to children who suffer hair loss due to cancer, burns, and other conditions. This year, all designers at the fair will donate 50% of one hair style to the charity. And of course, you can just donate without getting virtual hair in return on location too.
I just HAD to go check it out! I mean, 4 Sims of just hair? And the fact that some of the proceeds go to such a great charity, Locks of Love, makes it easy to justify a bit of a shopping binge. Here are the styles I picked up:
Not only were there simply TONS of styles to choose from, but sooo many freebies and dollarbies! Here are my favorites:
These are my favorites out of literally hundreds of hair styles, and there were skins and outfits and other fun goodies thrown into the boxes too!
Definitely stop by the Hair Fair, you don't want to miss it! You only have until September 7th so don't delay! CLICK HERE TO TP!
