Tekeli-li Sale!! Hurry!!

Posted by Fricka on April 2, 2009

I meant to post this much earlier but I got really busy and totally forgot.. but you still have 3 hours to get to Tekeli-li’s 50% off sale before it’s over at midnight!! And go, seriously go. I already have a pretty good collection of weapony and jewelry and today I picked up even more stuff including hair, which I hadn’t purchased until now and I must say, I <3 Tekeli-li. Everything there is absolutely brilliant and the color changing options are so amazing that you can have a totally customized look compared to another person in the same piece. And omg, they used one of my skins in their ad!! **happy dance!** At any rate, I shall cut myself short so I can get this and pictures posted.

Dressed up Feet

Posted by Fricka on March 21, 2009

I have a terrible cough, and because of this cough I have stayed up way too late and because of staying up too late, I caved. I caved to the shoe/feet combo from SLink. And you know what? I like them, quite a bit actually. They were super easy to tint and that was really important to me since I usually run around in a less than normal skin tone. I pretty much love everything about these shoes, they are super well made and not freakish at all and the little HUD gives you a ton of options for nail colors and all that sort of thing as well as keeping your ankle from “breaking” in poses which is a nice touch. My only complaint is that the shading stayed a weird orangey color even after I tinted it to my goth skin tone so it made my ankles look a little dirty. It’s really only noticeable up close but I’d like to see the shading be more neutral so it could be tinted along with the rest of the foot. The coloring looks fine when tinted to a more normal peach/tan color but it’s midly annoying in super pale colors. (I also wish the strap lining and soles were tintable or at least offered in solid black but now I’m being picky) Overall though, two big toes up, they are very cute and the price didn’t bankrupt me!

Also awesome and worth staying up late for, Katat0nik has a freebie at the Pyschotic Neko Easter Egg hunt that shouldn’t be missed! And unlike a lot of other hunts out there, this one is really easy to find. :D

Spaced Out

Posted by Fricka on March 19, 2009

I’m finally back from being out of town for a while. It was nice to get out but unfortunately I’m back with the worst flu I’ve had in ages so I’m super spaced out on Nyquil and lack of sleep. And I don’t really have a reason for this post except that I really like this new piercing from AVZ and the eyes from House of Ruin and the hair from Magika and the horns from Illusions. And with that I’m going to attempt to go to sleep again.

Posemaker Challenge – Long Awkward Pose

Posted by Fricka on March 8, 2009

I couldn’t take Achariya’s Posemaker Challenge and not mention Long Awkward Pose. Besides having a totally awesome name, the poses are just totally rad. Dove Swanson really rocks pose making. One of my favorite things about LAP is how Dove includes two priorities in her packs to accomodate throwing them into an AO or snapshot taking which is a really nice touch. I’ve actually built my current AO out of a combo of LAP poses so having the lower priority thrown in is very much appreciated. And of course the poses.. from fairy to red carpet, there is so much awesome to choose from. I decided to spotlight some poses from one LAP’s more current sets, Tongue in Cheeky.. which might very well be one of my new favorite sets. ^^

Posemaker Challenge – Imperial Elegance

Posted by Fricka on February 27, 2009

I love poses and I love posemakers. It’s amazing how a pose can really drive home the feelings you want to capture in a picture. I also love poses because well, SL doesn’t exactly have the most natural or attractive default poses. I, like so many other bloggers, fail to credit my poses all the time.. but I do try! So I had to take Achariya’s Posemaker Challenge so I could highlight some of my favorite posemakers. So to kick off this challenge, I’m going to spotlight a posemaker who I don’t think gets nearly the attention she deserves, Sai Pennell of Imperial Elegance. I’ve liked her poses since I first set foot into her shop and I think her poses keep getting better and better. Her fashion poses are great, I like that they can be cute and sexy all at the same time. Also one of the things that has stood out to me about her shop is that she sells weapon poses!!!! She won me over with her Gunslinger poses and then again with her Katana poses. Here are a few snaps of poses I especially love. ^^ Oh, and the pose from previous fishing post is also by Sai!

Posted by Fricka on February 1, 2009

I’ve had a rough past few weeks. Between some sad RL issues and some WoW drama I’m just mentally wiped out. There’s so much I’ve been meaning to get done in SL but I’ve just been consumed lately. I finally had a few minutes to log in and actually change my avatar’s clothes! And since I’m in a fairly angry kind of mood, I think my look kinda reflected that. Hopefully once the drama sorts itself out I’ll be back to blogging and what not. Until then, I’m still around.. just kinda tired and bitchy so beware. :D

Springy LoTD

Posted by Fricka on January 12, 2009

I haven’t been around much lately.. my wrists have been killing me so I’m trying to scale back my computer usage. Which has been freakin’ ridiculously hard to do. I never realized how much time I spend with the computer even in my free time.

Seams have been my nemesis everytime I’ve gone to try to make clothes. I decided to try something easy instead of going for something complicated like a shirt and pants (which I’ve done in the past and failed miserably). So I made some knee socks. And they turned out pretty decent so I put together an outfit to go with them. I had grabbed this cute sundress last month but with all the snowy wintery goodness I held off on wearing it until the virtual snow melted. :P

Do you like my ponytail?

Posted by Fricka on December 20, 2008

Do you like my ponytail?
(I do! I do!)
My sideways ponytail?
(It’s true! It’s true!)

Yesterday I had a crappy day… so I decided to go shopping and I picked up this new hairstyle from Deviant Kitties because it’s fun and cute and I immediately thought of the song “Sophisticated Side Ponytail” by Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. They are a guilty indulgence of mine and I love that song. Also included in my retail therapy spree was this pair of awesomesauce pants from [][]TRAP[][]. I even bought RL me some new kicks so overall, I’m feeling tons better today. Yay!

Yay for kyoot hair!
