KaS - HobbleDress

Deirdre:

If you’ve spent any amount of time in fetish hangouts (and other kinds, I’m sure) recently, you’ve seen girls in amazing shiny dresses with lots of straps in back.. I mean the new KaS Hobble Dress, of course.

It was released while we took our brief Christmas break, so we got a lot of good friends tipping us about the dress - thank you all :)

I promised Salid it would be the first item we featured this year - and there might have been tipster riots if we hadn’t done so ;)

The dress looks amazing; I mean I’d love it even without all the bondage options. Out of the box, the normal dress fits me 95% without an alpha, so I didn’t even unbox any of the others - five standard sizes, L to XXS.

When you first wear the dress, a cool “click me” part is clearly visible around the waist - it’s the last time you’ll see it, too - and it takes you to the menu. Locking, Owners, Openings, Movement and Options are controlled here, and you’re reminded that color and gloss are controlled from the HUD.

The colors are great, there’s a ton of textures (many matching the standard POC colors), and if you uncheck “Textured” you get RGB infinite color goodness, but you lose the highlights.

Shininess is for new viewers, apparently, but I had a blast playing with glow - cherry pink, 25%, light to midnight, looks eerie and is made for dolls who crave attention ;)

Awesome, awesome, awesome release. If you don’t mind running into others wearing the same clothes, this one’s for you ;)

lelo:
Lets start with a belated happy new year and we hope that all your naughty dreams come true in 2014.

And here is another belated item, if you haven’t seen this around SL the last couple of weeks you must have been hiding in a strict PG area.

Something new from KaS doesn’t happen daily, but when she finishes something you can be sure that it is amazing, and this goes for her newest, the HobbleDress.

In the box you'll find the dress in 5 sizes and 3 lengths, ankle long as a true hobble dress, knee long as a good looking dress and a sexy mini.

The dress comes with her usual HUD so you can match you dress to most outfits or moods.

The dress itself gives you access to the options menu, making the dress lockable, gives you control over which rear openings are covered or open and your hobble AO, which comes with no less than 3 hobble walks.

There are also RLV options in the menu, one when wearing the mittens determining what you can and can’t touch.

And more remarkable an auto alpha function that automatically selects the right alpha for how you are wearing the dress, using the #RLV folder, just load the specially made alphas into your #RLV folder.

Better get yours quickly before Salid discovers that she priced this one way too low… *winks*

KaS - Mesh Catsuit

Deirdre:
Smooth. Smooooooth :) KaS’s new mesh catsuit is just a joy to move your eyes over.

KaS is not the loudest advertiser, or the most active Marketplace user. Salid just works quietly, cranking out amazing content at her little store now and then, setting the bar for every other designer... and possibly chuckling to herself ;)

The catsuit is in parts, allowing you a number of good options.. and looking as closely and critically as I can, for the life of me I can’t see the joints. Very cool.

For fun (and experimental and practical reasons, of course) I tried on my black latex Bax Prestige boots over the catsuit, and they fit like a glove.

I’m wearing the Small version, and there are two smaller ones, XS and XXS. If you need smaller, and this is me saying this, someone needs to get you a sammich.

A note for Phoenix users, lelo and I both experienced crashes while editing worn prim clothing with the catsuit on. I’m not enough of a scientist to try it a few more times on purpose, but it sure looks like mesh comes at a price in old viewers.

lelo:
Some lovely mesh from my favorite corset maker, in SL, Salid from KaS made a great looking all meshy catsuit.

Though as with her mesh dress, this is a catsuit system, giving you quite a few options.

You can select: high and low collar, with or without gloves and bare feet or pumps. Like i said it’s a system. *smiles*

You get 5 sizes and one corset size in separate boxes, try the demo in the store for the right size, but if all fails, Salid also includes a special shape in the box.

You’ll also find a HUD in the box giving you the a choice of 23 textured colors, with a choice of the part you want to color, next to that you can also set the glow.

The HUD can control all colorable KaS items, one HUD to rule them all.. *winks*

KaS Corset Update and Aug. 17th Party Reminder

For all you KaS corset lovers, there is a free update available at the KaS stores. 

Salid has gone Mesh with her corset so the new version now moves with your body. *woohoo*

There is a slight down side to the new Mesh version as the training bit has been taken out of the corset, you now have all 4 versions in your folder.

You can still train in the old one and do the silly walk while training and wear the new one when you are done and have gained a elegant walk.

So get over to KaS for this update and if you didn’t buy it in the first place..DUH..this is a must-have, girls. *winks*

Our 1000th Blog Post Party is coming up! Yes, you know that. But have you told two friends? So they can tell two friends? And so on, and so on? ;) Friday, August 17th, 2PM at Rubber Room That’s only two weeks from now! Just cause we’re awesome that way, here’s the slurl for RR: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Pine%20Woods/26/194/601

And a bit of early news : The third Femdom Hunt is coming up! It's in October, but if you're a store and you want to get in on the action, see their site : http://femdomhunt.blogspot.com

KaS - Corset System Dress

Deirdre
Mark the calendar with a red cross, I installed Phoenix on my computer, and so far I love it. It’s like v1 with all the trimmings :)

It was necessary to see lelo in the lovely KaS Corsest System Dress, a seriously impressive mesh wardrobe.

We don’t hear very often from Salid, but when we do, she knocks our socks off. Remember her ballet boots last year?

Corset is a complete latex kit. Seriously : see the third pic for the variations. Between all the options and the color change, this is the one dress you need this year, and nothing else. Those are some of the best sleeve folds I have ever seen in SL.

Yeah, yeah. Not everyone can see mesh yet. But products like this will promote fast adoption, I think ;)

lelo
Boohoo... i want one of these magic dresses in RL, wear this (alpha) undergarment and wear this preformed dress and hé presto instant supermodel shape.

This is another mesh product and we do love them already, it’s great how a dress or a sleeve follows the body.

As the title says this is a system, giving you all kinds of options, from a long skirt to a lovely flared short skirt, a blouse to a bikini top even the SL mandatory free top.

The secret here is layering of alphas or and this shows how smart Salid really is the picking of the right combined alpha for us dinosaurs that hold on to old fashioned viewers.

You also get a hud to change the colors of your lovely dress, she matched all the POC colors, we went for the clasic KaS red and black.

You can turn off the textured colors and use a color field to select any color you like, you can even set the SL prim shininess and make the dress glow, perfect for these dark wintersnights.

Ok, so this one doesn’t have a locking option, but who cares everyone should have more than enough toys or relays to take care of that, i love this dress and i’m thinking of moving in. *winks*

KaS - BalletBoots

Deirdre
A rare event this week, a new release from KaS - we just had to squeeze it in, this will be our last review of the year : introducing the new KaS BalletBoots!

As with other KaS product, the shape is exquisite, and the attention to detail is excellent : the laces changing from eyelets to hooks on front of the boots is one good example.

The foot shape is very realistic to me; it’s what a tight ballet boot with a good heel should look like.

For a very limited time (the Christmas season), these gorgeous boots are only 149L$ - you know we don’t usually mention prices directly in the reviews except when they are exceptional; I’d say this is the case here.

Drop by KaS and thank Salid for a wonderful present :)

lelo
These are great times we live in, seems all our old favorites are back making new things.

I’m a great fan of Salid’s work, her corset is still the best in SL, you really notice her RL expedience with the toys she makes.

It was bound to happen, after her corsets, chastity and hood, she turned her attention to the next bondage essential: ballet boots!!!

These don’t come with a locking, leashing or owner system, which is fine as i’m sure all you bondage bunnies have your own RLV relays that take care of that.

The fitting is easy as you get the possibility to change the size in width, depth and height and there are two reset buttons for position and size, very smart.

I saved the best thing for last, the supplied color HUD lets you change the colors on every part of the boots.

You get a color chart so you can mix your own colors and as the boots are copy you can safe them with your favorite outfits, color matched and all.

I’m curious what she’ll make next, suggestions anyone????

KaS - CollarHood

Deirdre:
Salid doesn't bring out a new item every week, but when she does make a new one, it's usually pretty impressive.

Such is the case with this new CollarHood. This is how I picture the Man in the Iron Mask from the Three Musketeers!

I like the mesh eyes and mouth cover - the solid ones give the head the look of a statue.

The annoying SL prim zoom bug means that if you zoom in and out, you may see skin or parts of the face, but we're getting used to that... much as we sometimes sputter and swear at the Lindens for certain policies, we do believe they're doing their best.

Fix one bug at a time, Lindens! Don't stop improving the world!

lelo:
The idea of making a prim hood isn't new, but this one really works and combining it with a collar is sheer genius.

As usual with a KaS product you get a very well scripted toy that looks good and is well thought through.

The hood is easy to adjust with the menu options and you can change the look of the hood, color wise and looks wise.

You can leave the hood open, leave 3 holes, close them with mesh, or fully closed and there is a dolly mouth, which sadly didn't work on my beta version (could have been SL though).

In the coloring options are a good example of Salid's way of working, she made a sub-menu giving you the option of making the hood uni-colored or give every part it's own color.

Colors include the POC colors so you can adjust the hood to match the shiniest latex in SL.

As you would expect the hood has a HUD to blindfold, a gag function, leashing and locking and of course everything is RLV compatible.

So get down to Salid's shop and complete the set, i'm sure you already own the corsets and chastity... be honest... *smiles*

KaS : Chastity Belt

Deirdre :
Another realistic and detailed bondage toy from KaS. I think the catalog is short because Salid spends a really long time on each item... that's my theory ;)

A cool little leash attaches to the ring in front of the belt, and the keyholder menu Options, Give Tools, gave me a folder with two leash holders (left and right hand) and a post, as well as a script to put in items to turn them into posts, cleverly called a PostScript.

Good scripting, great looking items. I'd say you can't go wrong here. Tell Salid you saw lelo wearing one of her items, which is a regular - if not daily - thing.

lelo :
Here our third item from KaS, the chastity belt, sadly for now the last item from Salid as she only sells these 3 items, i hope she will add something new soon.

The chastity belt goes great with both the corsets as it has the same color options and look.

The little key in the lock is a great touch.

Next to the lock and leash options the chastity belt works with sensations and Xcite! genitals, chastising them.

It offers 3 looks: belt only, chastity belt and strap-on. Making your slave useful or making it a nice accessory for the Domme that want a nice belt with an extra option. *winks*

Like the neck corset and the waist corset the belt has the lock pick option for emergencies as well as the anyleash option making every prim close by a leash point.

The fitting of the belt is quick and easy, something that can't be said for most belts in SL.

The build in vibrator can be used to stimulate the wearer but when locked they can't orgasm.

A great addition for every bondage bunny outfit, looks good and has some great scripting.

KaS : NeckCorset

Deirdre :
A solid-looking and realistic bondage item from KaS.

The shine and color look just fantastic, I love the little locks, the lacing, the chin bar...

This is a great toy, and lelo looks awesome with it : it matches her whole wardrobe ;)

I'll let her describe it in detail.

lelo :
It is high time we did a review of this lovely neck corset, we already did the corset a while back.

Just like the corset it's a real work of art, the lacing on the back looks great.

The metal bar that holds the chin up shows just how much time Salid has put into the design of this one.

As expected, the scripting is excellent and i'll just cover a few of the many options.

Next to the usual RLV options, owner, locking and color settings, you will find the anyleash option which gives you the option to leash the corset to any prim close by.

Another thing i like about the corset is the fact that my collar fits over it and looks great that way. *smiles*

The corset comes with a working lock pick, in case you really need to get out of it, and a spare corset in a box for inventory emergencies.

Salid even build in a special version for when you are gagged, just click the menu button and your corset allows your mouth to open for the gag.

A wonderfull bondage toy and it goes great with the corset... something every bondage doll should own.

Kas corset

lelo:


As you might have noticed i do love restrictive clothing and things that lock, well this corset does both and as you might expect i almost sleep in it.

The first impression of the corset it good, the closers on the front of the corset look very good and the lacing at the back must have taken quite some time to get it looking as good as it does.

The invisi-prims that hide the restricted waist show against some backgrounds but that's something you should already know from most boots in SL and not something you can expect a designer to get rid off (winks to the Lindens, hoping some of them read this blog).


the corset is menu controlled and trough it you can set the owner of the corset, restricting the control the wearer has over it.

As with a real corset you have to wear it a while to get used to it and lace it tighter and tighter, when there is an owner set only he/she can change the lacing settings.

another option of the menu is the possibility to change the colors of the corset, the lacing and the contrast color of the corset, making it possible to wear the corset with almost every outfit.


Finally the corset offers a nice AO, only problem is finding good animations that work with the corset, and this is the only downside to the corset, it makes using pose balls almost impossible, which at the same time makes it more realistic, it's not easy to sit down with a tightly laced corset in RL as well.

A nice solution to this problem came with the V1.1 corset, cloth layer corsets to wear under the real thing making it possible to hide the prim corset with the movement restrictions but still having it show, in a way.

i want to close with a final word about the service of KaS, the first time i tried to upgrade the corset something was wrong with the server and i didn't get an upgrade, the same day i got a IM from Salid that she had seen that i had tried to update and she told me she had fixed the server and i was able to update now, that's the way to keep your customers comming back.
