Badkatz Clothing - No Problem

Deirdre:
Yummy is still around :) It’s nice to see a store (and an old friend) stay in business so long.

Seems she’s known as Mrs. Corso now - I don’t know who Mr. Corso is, but he’s a lucky guy, cause Yummy’s a dear.

I wasn’t sure we’d still find fetishwear at her store, but her line of sexy leather dresses is still going strong - see third pic for a very good sample of her designs.

No Problem, which I’m wearing here, is a fun tlbd - tiny little black dress :)

The leather texture is grainy and shiny, and the zipper rivets say, this is a dress you can pull tight! Shirt and jacket layers for the top, pants layer for the bottom (don’t forget to wear undies), stockings and a prim skirt part make a nearly complete (if skimpy!) outfit - add boots and dance the night away.

Note teh cool logo kitteh on the bag when you unpack - I thought it was too cute not to share.  

lelo:
We took a trip down memory lane a few weeks ago and wondered if Badkatz was still around.

Seems she was still around, but had moved to a smaller store on another sim.

The store is packed with all her lovely clothing, actually the vendors are packed with so much gear that it takes a while till everything is loaded.

She still has a Midnight Mania board, with a store gift card, a free gown and a magic chair in the store so a visit is worth the time.

For residents under 30 days she has a great offer, send her a note with your name, starting date and the name of the outfit you love and she will send it to you for free.

And if you have been around a bit longer and you have some free space with good traffic she offers affiliate vendors.

Badkatz - Wet Chocolate One-Piece Swimsuit

Deirdre:
Yummy is the first designer I ever met in SL, lo those many years ago.. and it was good to drop by her store again and chat a bit.

This awesome one-piece swimsuit caught my eye in the “New” vendor, and as Yummy always called her leather pieces “chocolate”.. well, it does look pretty lickable, doesn’t it? ;)

A pair of big Versace-style shades to complement it and I’m ready for Saint-Tropez (Eagle-eyed readers will recognize the Elixir Albedo sunglasses).

As usual, the price was excellent. Badkatz doesn’t do only leather/fetish, so if you want elegant and inexpensive clothing, do drop by.

lelo:
It was time to visit another old friend, we hadn’t featured in a while.

As was to be expected the store was rebuilt, and Yummy assured us she would be remodeling pretty soon...again.

Looking at the “new” vendor Mistress instantly fell in love with this swimsuit.

I’m sure we’re in for some beach time pretty soon, though not sure if the leather will like that. *winks*

Ohh and don’t forget to check out her midnight mania, she has some great clothes in it.

Badkatz : Pink Leather Jacket

Deirdre:
I dropped into Badkatz expecting everything to have been moved around again.. but no! I actually recognized the sections, and found this cool jacket in minutes.

It looked good in the vendor, sure. But I'm a little leery of non-prim jackets lately. To compare with this one, I pulled out a red one I have, gathering digital dust in my inventory.

The comparison totally reassured me. Where the other is ragged at the edges and uses a lot of photographed leather textures, this jacket uses them sparingly. Zippers, pockets, and a cool hint of shadow under the flaps.. good art :)

As leather clothing goes, it's a lot "softer" than most of my wardrobe.. my usual spiked accessories look a bit out of place with it. Maybe I need pink spikes? ;)

PS: When you buy the jacket, it shows up in your Objects as just "Pink Leather Jacket". I thought for a moment that I had clicked cancel on the transaction, as I was searching for "Badkatz". See, I'm saving you the heart attack *I* had. Yummy, you listening?

lelo:
Want to show a little more femininity? Introducing the pink leather jacket by Badkatz.

Simple clothes layer jacket, but as usual Yummy shows she is a genius when it comes to texturing.

By keeping folds and other objects away from the edges you don't get any bad looking transitions.

The collar looks like it's a prim, the 3-D effect is amazing and the look of the zipper is very good as well, though it misses the same 3-D effect.

Add some jeans, boots and chaps and you got the perfect Biker Barbie outfit.

Badkatz : Over The Edge

Deirdre:
That beautiful leather and lacing caught my eye when I walked into Badkatz.. I didn't recognize a thing from my last visit. Yummy, the store is gorgeous. Stop moving everything around, ok? ;)

This is a long corset, or a short, short, short dress. If you accessorize that one, thigh boots and shouder gloves would be good.. but still pretty much bedroom wear.

The reflections are great. Leather is hard to make, I know; you hardly see any good leather pants or jackets. To make a little dress/corset that looks this good requires both skill and devotion.

Awesomely inexpensive, like most of Badkatz's products. I might suggest a undershirt and underpants layer to make accessorizing easier, but other than that, I love love love it.

lelo:
The current signature piece from Badkatz, "over the edge".

A pretty standard black little dress, just in leather, Mistresses favorite fabric.

It features nice lacing front and back, the rear is mostly lacing, somewhat like a corset.

The one thing i love about this dress is the way Yummy solved the old problem with the front of skirts in SL.

The small prim panel matches the texture of the clothe layer remarkably good.

A texture that has a great leather look by the way.

Badkatz: Leashkat

Deirdre:

LeashKat is a great catsuit by Badkatz designer Yummy Freelunch. It's one of the first pieces I got from her, way back when, and certainly not the last.

The amazing textures on the front are simply the best use of photography to make clothing that I've seen in Second Life. The straps, the studs, the leather folds on the arms.. all awesome.

There is almost no need for accessories; just put on some good boots and you're set.

Once you're done admiring the front, you'll notice the daring bare back - see, I wore my hair up for you guys. You just have to show off that dramatic central strap.

The store has gone through several incarnations, always improving. The current layout is terrific, things are easy to find, and new arrivals clearly indicated. Drop by and tell Yummy Deirdre sent you ;)

lelo:
The first thing you notice about this outfit is the wonderful texture of the top.

The second thing you notice is that this amazing texture isn't continued on the pants, which are rather plain looking.

The belts, or leashes if you go by the name of the outfit, look great, though somehow they miss depth, i guess we have been seeing to many prim belts lately.

This outfit would be one of the top outfit's in SL, if Yummy had put the same care and attention into the texture of the sleeves and pant legs, as she did to the texture of the top.

This is a real budget bargain, with these prices you can really fill your wardrobe with nice clothing. *smiles*
