Fallen Fae

I have to apologize in advance, I’m addicted to filters. I don’t think I’ve posted much of anything that hasn’t been filtered within an inch of it’s pixel life… and well, that’s probably going to continue. :P

I kinda went with a Fae edging into darkness thing here but didn’t quite hit it the way I wanted to so I think I’ll rework this same theme sometime in the future. I made a pink skin forever ago but never really found a good opportunity to wear it so I thought this was a good time to toss it on and add a shot of color to my monochromatic color scheme. I still <3 my Elf ears from Illusions.. the best part, I can tint them to match whichever crazy colored skin I might be wearing since Siyu included a “white” color option that is perfect for tinting. I luff Siyu Suen. ^^ Oh and happy winged loveliness is from Seven’s Selections. And of course, all this winged fairyness was the perfect excuse to use the Faery Goodness pose set from LAP.

On an unrelated note, I’m unusually busy IRL so my posts may be sporadic.. though I can’t stay away too long. ;)

On to the pictures… and, as always, I’ve taken far too many pictures and then been unable to whittle them down. ^^

*Sigh*

**Edit** I always find it amusing how I’ll write some terrible emo post and then after thinking about it for a little bit I realize how crazy I sound so I have to go back and edit. :P That said, I’m still mildly annoyed by the reaction of a very few select people who waxed on about how I sucked, how my skins suck, how my subscriber sucks, how my store sucks… etc. Besides hurting my feelings at the time, I wonder what they hoped to accomplish by such a a verbal attack. Ah well, the overwhelming majority of reactions were positive so the good far and away outweighed the bad. So all that said, be nice! Niceness will get you so much more than nastiness. :)

Two Guns

Sai Pennell’s Gunslinger Poses were the inspiration for this picture spread. She makes awesome poses!! And, drool, how cool are the Redemption Pistols from C-Tech? I’m simply amazed at the the detail and the options, and well, everything, they are pretty freakin’ awesome. I have had my eye on Refuge’s Brood outfit since it came out and finally decided, yus, must have. The textures are fabulous and I’m a sucker for long coats. It does come with it’s own top (which is awesome) but I wanted something a bit.. well, skimpier, so I used a freebie bikini top from Shai. So yes, there you have it. Picture crazy time. And since Flickr is being annoying I’ve also posted these over on Koinup just in case all you see are red x’s. >.<

Geisha

I was totally inspired to run out and grab a kimono after I saw this post on Red-Headed Step-Child.  And I’ll admit, it’s very late and I’m very tired so I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking. Both kimonos in the pictures were freebies which is always a bonus. I also finally found a chance to wear Deviant Kitties’ Lovely Hair with the intended fan accoutrement as well as take some of my personal Geisha themed skins out for a spin. Oh and I also visited a lovely Japanese styled garden sim. So there you have it. On to the substance!

Definitely click on them and then view all sizes to see the large super pretty pic. ^^

Look of the Day

I’m exceptionally tired today so I’ll keep this post short and sweet. Sn@tch Poppet = awesomeness. I love the texture on this little mini-dress, the cute little sweater, and the fact that it comes in 3 colors, yay! I’m partial to plaid and especially partial to red plaid so this was a must buy for me and I love it. Gritty Kitty = awesomeness. I know the Czech Mate hair is a guyish hair but I wanted a short hair do and this one looked hawt on my avatar so I bought it and I lurve it. I think I’ll probably have to grab this hair for my husband’s toon because it’s freakin’ cute. So there you have it! ^^ I’m going to go take a nap.

Survey Time!

I’m a sucker for surveys so here are my answers to the SCD one.

1. When you hear about a new release, which are you most likely to run out and buy: hair, shoes, or clothes?
-Clothes for sure. I can’t resist new stuff, it’s so shiny.

2. Skin choice: pale, tan, coloured (like green), or dark? Blond, brown, red, or black hair?
-Super pale goth skin. My hair is never the same color for very long but I own more hair in white than any other color.

3. Which event do you most likely put on your calendar: fashion show, live concert, store sale, sim opening, club contest, or a class?
-Store sale… I’m a shy recluse, you’ll never see me where there is a crowd unless it is super freakin’ awesome.

4. What’s your ideal SL™ job?
-One where I’m showered with money for doing nothing. :P

5. Sexy clothing preference: silks, lingerie, or revealing clothing(mini skirts, super tight dresses, etc)?
-Retro pinup style lingerie

6. Facial hair on male avies (or yourself, if you are male): yea or nay?
-Nay, 5 o’clock shadow is the limit for me.

7. Land home or skybox?
-Skybox unfortunately, the land area near me is icky to look at.

8. Decorating your walls: SL™ photos, objects, RL photos, or RL art?
-RL art.

9. Do you prefer to own land or rent?
-Own. Even though I hate where I live.

10. Small boutiques or large stores?
-Small boutiques or I will get lost and go home.

11. Photo-realistic skins and clothing or hand-drawn?
-Hand-drawn. Photo-realistic creeps me out just a little bit. Though I do like photo-real jeans.

12. For your one-on-one conversations, do you prefer voice or typed chat?
-Typed chat, I’ve never actually tried voice, nor do I want to. O.o

13. Prim objects or sculpties?
-Prims for anything requiring movement, sculpties for everything else. I loves me some sculpty shoes.

14. Bling, effect sounds, and particle effects: on or off?
-Do Not Want!

15. (If you use one) What photostudio do you like best?
-I’m cheap, I just use a little hollowed out box

16. Face light: necessary or blinding?
-Never left home without it until I started using the Caliah Lyon windlight settings, now I almost never use one. Which is why I probably look terrible to everyone else. >.<

17. Do you pick up all the freebies you find or only pick the ones from designers you know?
-I used to horde every single freebie ever but now I’m a tad bit more selective mostly out of laziness.

18. Pre-fab buildings: do you own one? Do you like them?
-Own one and I like it since I’ve retextured it.

19. Would you rather be a Furry or Tiny?
-Tiny, they are cute.

20. Graphic settings: Short draw distance or long? Release Candidate or standard viewer? Avatar imposters (yes/no)?
-Short draw, I don’t like to know I’m surrounded by dozens of wooden prims when I’m at home. RC & yes.

21. Sim design: tropical island, residential neighborhood, urban streets, or themed fantasy (or another type I didn’t think of)?
-Themed fantasy

22. When not in a club or concert, do you stream music or turn it off?
-I’ll test out the stream if I’m not already listening to something just to see what other people are into. I’m a music junkie.

23. Flickr: Woot? Ick? (add me as a contact so I can see your stuff!)
-Zomg, woot. I <3 Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fricka/

24. What’s your favorite place to explore or hang out (that isn’t a shopping area)?
-Lash’s La Reve.

25. Animation Overriders: Do you prefer to make your own or buy a set? And where’s the best place to go for them? (I’m actually shopping around for another, so this is a selfish question
-I use a combo of premade sets from Cova AO & ANA_Mations.

Le sigh

Ugh. Just ugh. My neighbors want to offer up a land swap (?!?!) because they’ve basically bought everyone around me out and honestly, it feels a wee bit like strong arming due to the fact that they’ve pretty much blocked me in with huge buildings. Blech. While I wouldn’t mind moving somewhere with more space because I’m just about primed to max, I just wasn’t ready to make a move yet. I’ll have to see what the hubby has to say on the topic but I’m thinking of keeping it for the time being, perhaps shopping around for a new spot and making the move over gradually as to not lose customers and what not. But I think I will stop thinking about it and go play World of Warcraft, where I don’t have to deal with this kind of stuff. >.< Bad guys, I sees them, I kills them.

Silent

Today’s post will consist of mostly random ramblings. Beware.

Everyday brings some new wackiness with it. I swear, not a day has gone by that I didn’t log in and my neighbor hasn’t done something absolutely effing nuts on his property. *sigh* Today it’s 6 10x10x10 cubes set to glowing. Awesome. And of course, this behavior extends to a whole different set of neighbors where I have my store. Gotta love the ginormous stone wall they built within microcentimeters of my property. Geez. But at least it’s somewhat ascetically pleasing compared to glow cube over by my personal abode. >.< I wonder what is about mainland and the no rules that just makes people go crazy with the junk. Ok, that’s my rant for today.

I love Deviant Kitties hair. LOVE. I have more DK hair than other brand and I keep going back for new styles all the time. Helyanwe Vindaloo really has a gift at making the most freakin’ fantastic hair. I picked up one of the new styles, Izzy, today and I aboslutely love it. The hairstyle comes with a little color change bow which is adorable and also has a color change coon tail extension in it that kinda lets you spice it up. Yes, this is my new favorite hairstyle.

Oh yeah, I had some fun with filters and the pics were taken over at the Silent sim.

Cybergoth v. 1,056

I like to bust out the cybergoth look every once in a while since it’s a favorite of mine. What prompted me today was Cafe Society’s Flamingo Hunt gift from Long Awkward Pose! LAP has some of my absolute favorite poses in all of SL so I was super psyched and immediately went on the hunt and I was not disappointed! The poses are freakin’ awesome. Seriously, awesome. And they gave me the perfect opportunity to wear the amazing Sense hair group gift from AVZ. And I absolutely love this duster from Paradisis. It was one of the first purchases I made in Second Life and I still love it. And best of all, it’s only L$ 50 and it comes in 2 colors!! And yeah.. I’m kinda on a grungy brush kick with my pictures lately. :P
