Item no 8 & 9: The Snow Bear & The Baby Snow Tiger
Something about him, most probably the drum, makes me think of Oskar Matzerath, the little boy in German author Günther Grass’ novel The Tin Drum. In the book, he’s born in Danzig (now Gdansk in Poland) in 1924, and narrates the story during his stay in a mental hospital during the years 1952–1954.
These two are cousins – and what cuddly cousins they are. The snow bear comes with a white skin, huge and hairy paw boots, a “pussybearbag” with chain, a bearhat chain and the bearhat itself: A majestic and towering snow bear with lots of soft fur. You’ll want to bring it with you to bed when you go to sleep.
Like I said, he could probably use some help. But what a great piece of work he is! Waldemar comes with a nice Yip painting of his room and twin, but it’s even more fun if you’re two persons using the avatars together. Guaranteed to raise some eyebrows if you enter a dance club filled with chicks and studs, or a strip joint.
I don’t know if snow tigers exist outside of Yip’s imagination (probably not, but that’s why we have imaginations, right?), but it’s so cute and beautiful. Although it consists of a larger number of attachments than the snow bear, the baby snow tiger is a simpler outfit consisting of paws for your hands, a long boa and a tail. Both outfits come with shapes but you can choose whether or not you want to use them.
Item no 7: The Bird Woman Here’s a stylish outfit that – no wonder – makes you want to fly. It has beautiful plumage inspired by Indian head pieces, as well as feathers on top of the gloves, down from your ears, on the shirt and around the waist like a skirt. It even has feathers on the fantastic shoes. The tights have a feather pattern while the shirt has laces like a corset.
Something I found out by chance, while changing from the snow bear to the baby snow tiger, was that the two animals can be worn at the same time. Then it looks as if the baby tiger is hiding underneath the bear. Now how cute is that?
The outfit comes in two versions that have a few differences. The other version, (called Golden) does not have a headpiece, but has the same feathers which attach to your back. Additionally, it has a smart waist rope and wings which attach to your arms and a feather headband. Which one you prefer is up to you.
You can mix and match an impressive outfit by combining the tiger hand paws with the bear feet paws. You can even choose a scripted version of the bear feet that gives you footprints as you walk.
