We met Anabella a few weeks ago, and she became a great supporter. She recently blogged a bit about our work.

About ten days ago I saw an interesting post by Khitten Kurka mentioning the Kiko Life sim. I went to check it out and was immediately impressed by what I saw on the adboards. The shapes themselves were curvy and quite lovely, but I was particularly impressed with the time Kiko had spent on the faces. Full, but very, very pretty. Kiko himself happened to be in the store when I stopped by, and he was extremely friendly and helpful as I dithered, finally deciding on the Oyadele shape.

The shape packages include eyes, and a style card if one wants to look just like the girl in the picture. Kiko and I discussed various hair options, and, after checking out a couple of places, I went with the card's suggestion of Skyshop HOC. I tried on just about every darker skin in my inventory, demo and otherwise, and kept coming back to the Naomie from Redgrave. A few others were also interesting, but that is the topic of a future post.

Kiko's "no sticks here" philosophy made it a bit of a challenge for a girl whose second closet is stuffed with lots of small dresses and skirts, but getting the opportunity to reconsider the wardrobe was all part of the fun. I started with one of my staples, the tight jeans from Drawmachine and paired it with the cropped sweater, currently available in the store hunt at Cupcakes. Grabbing the freebie bangles from Mythology out of the jewelry box, I slipped on my favorite Wicked Soles heels, and this Louisiana girl was ready for cafe au lait and beignets at the "Cafe du Gos," in Fat Tuesday, one of the best looking New Orleans-themed sims on the grid.
