A good AO is one of the FIRST things on the list of anyone trying to get their avatar to next level of cool, cute or to just be out of the old SL of stagnant poses. Today its all about fluid and original animations, and lots of them!
Hinamori Burleigh, is a name you re likely to think of when you think of cosplay/anime/Bushido AO's, in fact, its very easy to say that she is the most recognized name in that regard, and tho you may not know her by name, if you are in anyway involved with the culture of Cosplay then you have either owned or reeeally wanted one of her AOs. Her ads are immediately recognizable, and her AO titles are just as familiar-Bushido-Shinobi-Bishoujo- to name a few. Hinamori has been in-world since '05 and you can tell she's payed attention in that time to the tastes and needs of someone looking for a good animation override. Her newest AO, Neko for Females, is a stylish, busy and very creative take on the popular 'cat-like' animations that exist out there.
Her's stands alone in the sheer 'Cuteness' ^^ of it all. My fav anim is a stand where you do a left "paw" scratch, a right paw scratch followed by a shimmy from side to side at the hips. :D When you fly, your avatar looks up and paws toward the sky as if trying to climb further and further up by yer claws, and the Hover-sit that it puts yer av in, with its floating up and down is not like any others ive seen. Ive included some pics i took while wearing the AO cause honestly how do you describe an animation overrider in depth without writing a novel. Check out the pics that follow for a better idea and be sure to swing by Hinamori's shop in the mall to pick up a true original in neko AO's. Btw, i wanted to illustrate in my pics that the neko in the title doesn't mean you have to have ears and a fluffy tail to wear it, it goes great with any female avatar looking for more CUTE! :D
With Honours,
