Zenobia Fimicoloud - Biography

Hi there, I am Zenobia Fimicoloud, and I first arrived in SecondLife on 26th of June 2007.

I am a Neko, a word borrowed from the Japanese that means "Cat" - I am part woman, part cat and I love it.

I am a playful, flirtatious kitty at heart - but don't be fooled, I have a wild side too which has been known to get me into trouble. It is advisable not to get on the wrong side of me or you may learn how sharp my claws (and tongue) can be.

Although I wear a collar, it is through my own choice. I have had several men that have tried to tame me, with - I have to admit, varying degrees of success - but they all have known that none will ever completely tame me - not even my wonderful fiance Moteand Bailey can do that, but he loves me just the same.

I started my business in Secondlife in March 2008, selling art at a store that I set up on Walleye - which was a relatively new development of shops belonging to my friend Fortyniner Beck.

Within a month of opening, I had turned my hand to building affordable, low prim, Neko furniture with an obvious catty theme. It was soon clear that the little shop I had rented wasn't going to be big enough and so I moved to another, larger store on the same development.

As business continued to flourish, I started to look for more space, and opened a second store - again on a development owned by Fortyniner - this time on the sim of Nanda. This started off as a modest "Showroom store" with the intention of allowing people to try the poses in my furniture before parting with their hard earnt linden. On the same spot that my showroom store once stood, my "Paws Plaza" was built, and homed my three floor Megastore. On the ground floor I had out the furniture that I make for people to see and try before they buy. The other floors held my ranges of gifts and my Neko accessories.

However, changes made by Linden Labs made things increasingly difficult for Fortyniner and his tenants, and he had to give up a large chunk of his land holdings - he decided to keep and concentrate on one of his more compact developments at Medvedgrad. Of course, having been a tenant of his since I first entered the business market on SL I decided to follow him, and now have several stores on Medvedgrad to house Paws 4 Thought, and SophistiKats.

I worked for a time as a dancer at Temptations in Secondlife - a sideline which I enjoyed very much and has allowed me to met many wonderful people including sweethearts like Crusher, Sparkle, Smudge, Brunor, Jo as well as many others.

Although I have put my dancing days behind me now to concentrate on my ever-growing business, I still remain good friends with most of them, recently having the honour of being a bridesmaid at Jo and Brunor's SLwedding.

My favorite quote is Eminem, from his song "Loose yourself" which I see as kind of my "motto for life" :-

"Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted - One moment!
Would you capture it, or just let it slip?" -- Eminem
