Prodigal kitten returns...

This past week or so has been marked by several things, as referenced in a previous blog. This blog, however, will be about one of those occurrences - the return of one of my best friends - Angela. She left SL for the same reason many of us leave - she got her heart broken and needed to regroup - lick her wounds as it is. Understandably.

Angela...Ang, as she gets called by most everyone - is a kitten. Not so say she is 100% Neko - its just her personality. She is sometimes seen scampering around SL sporting a tail and ears, but its more just part of who she is, furry appendages or no. I described her thusly in my profile: Ang - the little lost kitten came back home to SL after way too long away. Not exactly a stray, not exactly a pampered pet - she falls somewhere in between - moods and personalities ranging from the sweet playful kitten batting a feather around, to the fierce mama lion chasing off the grizzly bear hurting her friends.

In honor of her return - and the avi update Sass & I helped her with - I wanted to do a photoshoot for her. My goal was to capture all those sides of her personality. It was a fun afternoon - Sass assisted me on building sets and setting up shots with the proper composition and whatnot. I'll showcase some of them here, and they are all on my FLICKR as well.

I started out wanting to capture her playful side - the seemingly innocent playful kitten with a dark streak, and a serious appreciation for dark, kinky RP. Hence, the MaryAnn Summers in a crack house look:

So, there you have it. My first personality case study in a fashion blog and photo shoot, LOL. Let the critiques begin!
