Internet Timewaster #1073

I am so digging this site I found the other day. Basically, it is a site where you can play high tech paper dolls. You can choose between different models, backgrounds and a zillion clothing items that you could conceiveably buy, if you are rich. It’s called Looklet and if you click on the [...]

Creativity Plus Bravery Equals a Mystery

I’ve made another cat. Once again, [...]

You Name the Kitty…

I dunno. Alarmed kitty? Melancholy kitty? Prozac kitty? Her look seems to change depending on what she is wearing and the situation in which she finds herself.
