Kirina's Closet

/Sigh. Real-life can be so demanding these days. Aside from simultaneously working on 4 articles for this site at the same time, I’m also planning a wedding and trying to get everything squared away for one of my last major semesters in school.

So let’s see…Oh! Early this week, an article from WoW.com linked to this site for RP clothing in WoW. How cool is that?! ^_^ What I think is awesome is that coming to this site leads people to other great sites I myself have linked to (like Miss Hanuma’s site), as well as all the creativity on our forum.

Speaking of the forum, Malyndia posted a little post over looking like the pastry seller in Dalaran, Aimee. And, while on this main site we have the on-going collection of outfits for the guards of the major cities, this is a prime example of other “Home Town Hero” outfits we can include here, as well. So, if you have an outfit(s) that looks like your favorite NPC(s), by all means share it with us on the forum. ^_^

While you’re at the forum, also check out Clawmark’s post over the different combinations for Stormwind
Auctioneer’s outfits – very useful for around the town, too!

…who doesn’t get Mohawked!

So, apparently, Mr. T’s “Night Elf Mohawk” strikes World of Warcraft again. I don’t know how long this little addition will last, but, for now, you can visit any Night Elf Mohawk camped outside each race’s starting zone (i.e. Deathknell…) and receive a grenade (much like the Party G.R.E.N.A.D.E) with 5-charges that “mohawks” any player in the throw radius. For more information click here.

I’m all about new items in-game, and it’s pretty fun to look like a Mr.T Night Elf ^_^ Go and get you one!

Hopefully I won’t have to deal with college stuff for too much longer, as I am nearing the end of my degree. But for now, it’s still a constant battle with delegating time to this site and to my studies – especially with major exams/projects coming up.

I know, QQ!!! I’m not making excuses ^_^. I have been doing some work around the site: the Alliance guards have Alliance “models” posing in the outfits…ummm…oh! I added the Alliance shirts to the Simple Kilt: Represent article…I guess that’s about it, LoL. But, you will start to see me add more Alliance races in future articles, thanks to a little trick Waddell taught me.

Speaking of Waddell in the nicest way possible, he reviewed my shaman outfits for the next Top of the Class articles, and suggested I need to add more “shaman” like armor to them…apparently, they were too “Native American-y” and should include more mail kilts and classic shaman dungeon pieces. I can’t disagree with him, and, I’d want the RP outfits -even though they aren’t aimed to be “classic tier sets” – to still be authentic as possible. So, I’m still in the process of rounding up all that for the article. Hopefully, I’ll get some other articles out before the holidays pop up.

Pilgrim’s Bounty is just around the corner. That should be fun! I’m looking forward to seeing what these “Pilgrim’s Attire/Dress/Robe” look like. I wish WoWhead had that info already ^_^

Anyway…stop by the forum to share your ideas/outfits. I know I say that all the time, but, we’d really love to read/see what this site’s readers (if any lol) are all about.

Kirina’s Closet is introducing a new addition to the site. Under each different sections for my outfits (around town, holidays, etc.), there is a link to the Guest Writers’ Page – which houses all the articles of that section that were written by readers/guests of this site. If there isn’t a guest writers’ page under a section, it means YOU haven’t written one yet ^_^ . Find out how you could contribute to this site by visiting the forums and checking out the Guest Writers Board.

Don’t let the word “article” scare you off. Writing for this site is as simple as:
1) Taking pics of your outfits in an area of interest (there are some listed on the site that we could use, or you could do your own take of what’s already posted on the site, OR write a little something of your own unique outfits).

2) Posting the pics, and a description of what armor makes them up, to the forum. If you want, you can include other items that could be substitutes, what you like about the outfits, etc.

3) Relax and wait for your article to be posted on the site. I do the hard part with all the linking and laying out your pics/info on a page.

So, yeah, easy. And it can be as long as you want it to be. The guide-lines sound a lot more strict on the forums, and they still sorta apply, but the steps above are essentially what needs to happen. Come on and join the writing fun! It’s very rewarding to see your character, your outfits, and your name on it all on a live site – where others can and will read/embrace your work ^_^
