It was 1994. I was living in the Williamsburg borough of Brooklyn, New York City, shoulder to shoulder with artists, poets and transients all converting a large old warehouse into living quarters. Spaces were huge and rent was minimal. About twelve of us shared a bathroom but it was all good and functional.

There’s a war going on in Japan. Few of us have ever heard of it, fewer still would recognize it because it looks deceptively sweet. One might even say… very kawaii.
From the battlefront however, it’s a whole ‘nuther story. Allow me to introduce Mikati Slade, an incredibly talented Japanese pop artist and veteran of this strange cute war, who chose to share her tale via an amazing, 3D artistic explosion called Kuru Kuru World in Second Life.

隣のトトロ tonari no totoro
I dreamed I was walking with Totoro, in a forest of magical light.
All around us the flowers were singing, as we whispered long into the night…
Come hear what he had to say…

“Ugh. Where’s my big brother when I need him? This candy bag is getting heeaaavvvyyy…..”
I promise, this little Neko won’t play any tricks. I won’t even make you smell my virtual cat feet (who came up with that poem anyway?!) — provided, of course, that you give me something good to eat. Preferably dark chocolate. With hazelnuts. In return, I offer you the following treats…
just knock on my door for the goodies…

When the very talented Second Life designer Lano Ling announced his new Neko eyes, I could barely contain my excitement. When I tried them on — in no less than sixteen sparkling, magnificently detailed colors ranging from natural to creative — my excitement did nothing but grow.
