An Afternoon With Kitty Malone
and yes, she survived it.
Thursday, November 19, 2009 by starkers | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Well after a couple of years, and with some trepidation, I might add, Kitty Malone yesterday plucked up the courage to drive down the highway to visit mrs starkers and I.
Now, before I go any further, I must stress, this trepidation was not over finally meeting mrs starkers. Nope, it was related to my love and avid consumtion of curried cabbage... buckets of it, and the possible after-effect of lunch and/or the previous night's meal.
Fortunately, that was not an issue and a pleasant afternoon was enjoyed by all.... tho Kitty did express her concern and said she had packed a gas mask just in case. Thing is, I knew the night befote that it was going to be a particularly hot day, and I didn't want to exacerbate that, so I abstained from curried cabbage and turned on the air-con early so we'd be more comfortable. And just as well I did... it got up to 45c outside.
Anyway, it was quite pleasant inside, and once the initial getting to know each other was do we had a rather enjoyable afternoon. While Kitty and Shaunna (mrs starkers) initially chatted between themselves (with me adding bits here and there), I added a 1tb drive to Kitty's Vista PC and partitioned it for her. I then re-installed XP, thus allowing her to skin for XP again... and when her Win 7 upgrade disc arrives, there's a pre- named and formatted partition ready for it.
Hehe, I mightn't be a WB skinner, but now I can now say that I had a hand in some of the best WB's to grace the pages of WC... cos I tinkered with Kitty's machine. Seriously though, I enjoyed helping out... not to mention getting to play with an Intel i7 based machine for the first time.... very nice, very nice indeed, but I digress
Although I had spoken with Kitty over the phone and enjoyed our conversations, I must admit that she is not like I imagined she would be. For one, there was no Goth get-up and no jet-black hair, spikey or otherwise... no Medieval tattoos or upside-down crosses for earrings. In a way I was a bit disappointed... it's a bit quiet around here and I thought a bit of true Goth might get a bit of neighbourhood gossip or something going, but no such luck. Nobody blinked an eye and it's the samo, samo here today.
And another thing, I was hoping that Kitty would roar into our street with a rod straight out of the Munsters, but nope, no such luck there, either. What we got was an average little sedan in white... in white fer crying out loud (fer a Goth girl,?) with pink 'Hello Kitty' seat covers. Now that ain't a car that any self-respecting Goth girl would be seen dead in, so yeah, I was somewhat disappointed that Kitty turned out to be Ms Pleasantly Spoken, Clean-Cut and Average. A lovely, lovely girl, I might add, but not the Goth shocker I had hoped would liven up our quiet little street some.
What's more, she didn't even have the obligatory broomstick in the trunk, her alternative means of transport in case of car trouble, but oh well, I suppose being a member of the auto club is the next best thing.
Seriously, though, it was a most pleasant afternoon and Kitty's visit was the highlight of our week and more. It was fun and entertaining, but more to the point, we immensely enjoyed having her here.
Thanks, Kitty, for a very lovely afternoon.

hahah yeah what a dissapointment, i came in wearing my bizzare 60's looking paisly number i bought from target
and I refused to put a brush through my crazy main of long unruly wavy hair! a halo of fuzz aint a good look when your going to meet someone for the first time..........
I think the only gothic thing i wore was my labrette spike from the good ole days of full on type o negative kinda goth.
I smoked like a chimney and swore like a trooper and had a good laugh the whole time......that was fun.
Mrs Starkers was awsome to meet, i loved her the minute I saw her, and we had a wikked time together. Starkers was awsome, he had tats and just was outragously cool!!!!!! I think he looked more gothic than me!!! and he spent the afternoon enjoying his poofter beer.![]()
hey starkers, can you believe i fit a whole single bed i bought from ebay into that car?
Wolfee was like (before i drove to deception bay to pick it up) "i dont think its gonna fit, are you sure babe?'
Me: "phhh it'll fit babe, dont worry bout it..." thank god it did.
best DAY EVER!
and no..........thank YOU
ps hello kitty and pink rocks! cause they make people wonder about you.........![]()

I had a pleasant surprise yesterday when Kitty rang me to say hi from Australia!! I hope it didn't cost her too much money, because I live in England! (13,000 miles MUST be classed as long distance!) We had a great chat, and I'm also happy to report that she is a VERY lovely girl.
Thanks for calling Kitty, it made MY day also. Just a pity we couldn't talk for longer, but I reckon we would have been there for hours given the chance!
I also spoke to WebGizmos on the phone the other day, he called me from the U.S. and we had a good old time comparing ailments....lol.
Glad you had a good day Starkers, now get that air-con back on 'cos I'm coming to visit you!!

My only chance of seeing you guys is if I win the lottery.
Even then , knowing my luck, I'd probably end up in Wolf Creek or somewhere...

I envy you guys...it's great that you all had a chance to get together.
Good for you Starkers for helpin' Miss Kitty out. ![]()

Now you've done it! You've blown her cover. Now she'll have to skin something frilly & pretty. Can't wait to see a Hello Kitty WindowBlind!

I'll say, it was the best day ever. I'm still over the moon about it. I mean, it's one thing to meet with one of the top skinners on a site in the US, but another entirely to discover that she lives just up the road here in Oz... and totally awesome that she came to visit us.
.....................................................................................................
Actually, Kitty, the disappointment should have been yours. Fer a start, I didn't go to tha effort of welcoming ye in me pirate getup... an' I didn' let rip a few 'aaar me 'earties' or any 'shiver me timbers. What's wurse, I didn' git out me cutlass t' show 'e.
Ne'er mind, I'll git ta doin' a bit o' swashbucklin' next time. ![]()
Now you've gone and done it! Just when I;ve said you're a pleasantly spoken young lady, you go and say something like that. Orright, there might've been an expletive or six, but I wouldn't say you swore like a trooper.
I'd say more like a road worker!!!
Nah, far from it... you were pleasantly spoken.
Still a bit miffed that you didn't roar up the driveway in a Munster-style hotrod and get out looking all Goth-like. ![]()
Now that woulda almost made it a religious experience. ![]()
Well we felt exactly the same about you... though calling my shandies poofter beer won't win you any medals.
It doesn't go with my tattooed and rugged exterior image ![]()
Knowing you, you'd probably have fitted a double bed in there... along with the dresser, bedside tables and tallboy. ![]()
I'm really pleased that you enjoyed yourself... and it was my pleasure.

When I was growing up my mother warned me about girls who were like 'that'. ![]()
...........................................................................................................
I'll bet that was a real buzz for you, and I'm so glad you had the chance to catch up with her. Kitty, as you say, is very lovely person.
Thanks mate... and if you ever get over here, you'll be most welcome. ![]()
Same goes for you, Fuzzy. If you ever make it over here, we'd be delighted to see you... but don't worry about Wolf Creek. I hear they make some fine wines there...
... and there'd be a few of us who'd come help you paint the town red. ![]()
Now that really was my pleasure... I had the greatest of company while I was working on Kitty's PC, and that was more than enough for me... I had a ball.
Same here, Doc... same here. To have had you two geezers here would have been most excellent... an event of Biblical proportions, me thinks.
Thing is, we only got a small place, and I don't think it'd hold all the WCers I/we'd love to have here.... there's just so many of you.

Certainly glad you didn't! That can be very bad for your eyesight ya know.. ![]()

Yup, any time you're up this way, Jafo, we'd love to meet you.

But not a Hello Kitty WB. I was thinking more along the lines of frilly and pretty with a fishnet stockings, frilly suspender belt and lacy lingerie WB, with a fluffy garter IP set and a peek-a-boo bra Sysmetrix.
And to top it all off, an animated wall/dream of a lingerie fashion parade.

Okay, we can have one of those as well... and if it goes with the lignerie fashion parade dream, even better. ![]()
Edit: don't bother pressing the 'see edit' button... it was just to correct a Zubish.
