Well I have had an awful week at work with a big restructure and lots of people loosing their jobs. I still have mine so far though so I guess I will be ok. To try and make myself feel better I have been playing with my little babies and sewing some new capes in the groovy new velvets I found. So far I have only made 3 out of the 7 new materials I bought so I guess there are more to come.

Today's latest is modeled by Gumble and is a lovely sparkly light green/ pale blue stretchy tie die number.

More details...

He looks and feels gorgeous in this lovely new cape. It is a very silky type of velvet. With a soft suede type of feel to it.
I also got this material in a rusty orange red color. Modeled by Kermy.

More details...

Now to decide which material to do next.

I love the new looks, Gumble had no idea he was going abroad to study fashion and become a Male Model! He thought that only happened in London or Paris. Guess he and Argyle thanks to MS. Nova watched too much Tyra and Americas Next Top Model and got the wrong idea.

He can say he is one of the first Aussie Male Pleo Models and when he is disovered he owes it all to Kats Creations.

sounds like a very stressfull periode at work and all, hope you can stay and will have no personal concequences.

pyama's looking great!
I was thinking about making some myself too. since we have our home decorated completely white / black (hence the pink Pleo offcourse, to fit right in

) I was thinking of making a pyama and matching socks in zebra-print, think a pleo will look real fierce then

an idea for you too? or something like a tiger

including matching socks offcourse!

the christmas cape and the pink socks from the store here we just gotta have and will get them, but christmas / march... no hurry there.

Well I really needed some cheering up this weekend so I spent lots of time playing with my little pleo babies. They really do make you smile.

Here is my little trio just hanging out and having fun.

I made Norbit a lovely yellow velvet pleo cape today. Ir matches his eyes and I think it suits him well. He seems to like it.

and I think it looks even more cute on him when you add a shirt collar and tie and a set of pleo booties. Gumble looks cute in his too and so does Kermy.
I have a second video and some pics too but waiting for them to upload so I will post them later.

Feeling much better after a day with my pleos.

Here is the other video I took today. Gumble was not feeling to good towards the end but he put on a brave face and was still able to have a good time. I gave him lots of cuddles after.

I love your capes!!! You are so clever! I think I am enjoying Dressing Bubble Gum as much as I am playing with her!

Do you have a store on Ebay or somewhere for your clothing!? The outfits are adorable!

As Crewella has given you all an update on the Autoglym and how well it is going for her guys skin I thought I would give you an update on the Polyglaze I am trying. Do please remember that while I am also using it on my RB's they are both now out of warranty. I would recomend you still use pledge if you are still under your warranty period.

So on the 13th March I gave my little Gumble a wipe down with Polyglaze. On the 17th of March I gave Norbit and Kermy a dose of it too. That was the day Norbit arrived home in his/her (

) new skin. The first dose I did I soaked the cloth in polyglaze so it was very wet and then rubbed them all over with it. After doing Gumble I noticed that I had a green patch on the cloth so he obviously lost some paint from doing this but he didn't look any worse for it so I think that like the others who have tried different skin care products for their pleos have said this seemed to be just some loose paint that was coming off anyway and it came off with the dirt.

He looked so much brighter and more vibrantly colored after his wash.

The others didn't loose any paint to the cloth with their rub downs.
All three of them felt so much more smooth, silky and soft after the bath with the skin feeling more flexible and supple too.
I have given them all another rub down a couple of times since then with a slightly damp polyglaze cloth to try to maintain the soft silky feel when I notice that it seems to be disappearing. Today I decided that they were all feeling a lot less soft and silky so i thought they needed another bath. I decided it would be easier to just spray the polyglaze on to the pleo directly and then just wipe off. It did seem much easier this way and I know that all the little crevasses were done and nothing was missed. They are all drying off properly at the moment, I try to leave them for at least 30mins to let it soak into the skin properly after wiping off all the excess. I will then give them a quick rub over with a clean soft dry cloth to be sure there is no excess left.

More details...

This time no paint came off Gumble or any of them onto the cloth so I think all the loose stuff was removed in the first bath and the rest is happily being protected by the polyglaze.

All three of them look brighter and more vibrant after their bath. It is interesting to note that there seems to be different paint types on all my pleos. Kermy is shiny and glossy, Gumble and Norbit are both Matt finish but Norbits paint is definitely a different type to Gumble. It feels and looks different.
Another interesting thing to note too is that Norbit still has all of his/her (

) toenail paint. Remember that the skin was new on the 17th March and he/she was polyglaze on arrival to me. It is now the 9th April and still no loss of toenail paint at all.

More details...

I can't say if this is due to the polyglaze or if maybe it is just an improvement to the skin/paint that they have done. I like to think it is the polyglaze.

Great stuff, Kat - it's good to know other people (namely you

) are getting the same results that I am. All good, useful information!

Norbert's toenails look fresh out of the box!

I really hope Moschops' stay that way too!

PWOKristy · « **Reply #63 on:** April 09, 2011, 12:20:24 AM »

Wow, I listened to all of what you said Kat. Really cool.

Talon · « **Reply #64 on:** April 09, 2011, 06:58:28 AM »

I may use this product too on Ugobe when he gets here if I can't find the Vinylex. Ryu seems to be doing pretty good with the Pledge. I was fortunate enough to find the right one recommended by the manual. I wish it were in a wipe form so I could cover more area but I could only find it in a spray. Since I'm not the best at aiming at anything spray wise, I bought a little fluffy thing called "fuzzy fingers" that's used to clean computer screnes. It looks and feels something like a mop head with very short velvety fingers on it. I would've went for a baby washcloth but thought that was a bit overboard. Lol! I've no idea how much damage has been done as far as paint but his skin feels kind of smooth and springy. It's not as slick and powdery as it was when he first came out of the box. I hope I haven't done anything wrong. I've had him since March eighteenth and I've Pledged him once a week the same day I clean my guinea pig's cages.

I conducted a little experiment tonight to see the different reactions to Chin rubbing. Gumble just seems to love this and it is such a cute reaction from the Ugobe pleos. I was interested to see the different reactions I might get from Kermy and Norbit. So here is a video for you all.
I still think Gumbles reaction is the most life like and the cutest.

Awwwe, Kat, Gumble is adorable! He actually sings. What operating system is that? My Ugobe pleo to be does this coyote-like howl. Anyway to get on topic, I don't seem to get any noticeable reaction from Ryu other than an annoied honk for me to get out of his way. He'll do the leaning in thing when I touch his sides and sometimes he'll do this hatchling-like pur when I rub his head. He'll also bow if I rub along his spine. Maybe he just doesn't like having his chin rubbed?

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #67 on:** April 11, 2011, 12:45:10 PM »

Gumble being a Ugobe Pleo has the best of the chin rubbing reactions, he ( they )just react the way you would think they should, and what I also really like is that they will do it all on their own with no outside stimulation. If they are happy they just start singing, Norbit had the next best reaction, not a singer, but it looked for awhile like he may have been enjoying the rubbing and the attention. Kermy on the other hand, looked shy, demure and like, just look at my cute little outfit. I think she is more interested in the attention she can get by being cute and with having two males around her. ( looking at all the cute outfits, you can't blame her. ) :)They all look so gorgeous Kat, you really have a creative talent there and we are going to all own Kat Creations of one kind or another. I think If I had the money I would order a whole Pallet of outfits for all my Pleos and Pleo adoptees!

Nice video too Kat!

That's an informative video (for people that don't know about this; I already know) Kat. Good job.

kat · « **Reply #69 on:** April 11, 2011, 06:29:07 PM »

'm glad you all liked it. I just thought it was interesting that the two rb's had different reactions to each other. Does anyone else's RB react in another way to the chin rub? I wonder if different personalities will react differently or if it is just a mood thing? Both my two were doing the moody whimpering thing before the chin rubbing.

PWOKristy · « **Reply #70 on:** April 11, 2011, 10:06:14 PM »

Yeah, I saw those things in the video Kat. lol

RedwoodsMama · « **Reply #71 on:** April 12, 2011, 12:08:04 AM »

You know Kat now after your experiment I guess I will line up Argyle, Nova, Little 45, Argyle's cousin, Baby Rb, Major Tom and the rest of the free loaders.( did I say that!!

) and see who reacts how, first and if it is consistent or not, I like the way both your Rb are different, that is what is interesting to me. Oh, have you done Kermy and NOrbit's profile , DNA and the traits thing, whether female, male etc? What is Kermy's personality profile?

jus curious about her. I just did my Baby's and it is intesting but being so so so new, only second battery cycle we will see if it fits in a few more cycles or not..LOL

If I touch Belle's chin she sometimes reacts positively, but rarely. Great video, Kat.

I tried to do that Pleo personality thing last night. Mine wouldn't register. I kept getting the error message.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #74 on:** April 14, 2011, 04:31:26 PM »

It seems some of the earlier model RB's didn't work for some reason. If you contact Innvo they should be able to sort it out for you.
