I aim to misbehave

Posted by Fricka on June 27, 2008

I was lusting after the Thursday hair from Gritty Kitty and I decided to treat myself since I’ve been sick. :P I’m finally feeling better though! :D I’m sure you’ve seen this hair everywhere and that’s because it is absolutely awesome. One of the big problems with wearing hats in SL is prim hair has to be modded within an inch of it’s prim life to fit under a hat and that’s a lot of work. Here, the work is done for you! Yay! And omg, the options.. everything from the hat band to the individual feathers is scripted to change colors. As soon as that hair hit my head I felt like I was a character in the television series, Firefly. If you haven’t heard of it, it was a short lived Joss Whedon series on Fox and it’s a must see.. especially if you are at all into sci-fi or westerns because it’s meshes the two genres into one very entertaining bundle. So I kinda threw on a mix of my typical steampunk look and some wild frontier together, blared some Abney Park (beware, music on that page usually starts playing immediately) and went over to Plunder to take some pictures. And per usual, I had a hard time parring things down, so there’s a ton of pictures. :D I just adore this look.. I’ll probably be wearing it for a while just because I feel like a bad ass airship pirate in it. XD Oh and in other good news, I found OMFG’s stuff on SL Exchange! Wewt!!

After

Posted by Fricka on June 15, 2008

Second Life affords me the ability to play dress up on a really grand scale. If nothing else, this has by far been the reason why I keep coming back. The ability to morph my avatar into just about anything is very tantalizing.

I started the look with the skin which I basically did just as a way to use some awesome crack brushes I found on Deviant Art… I’ll hunt down a link and try to throw it in later. My husband always tries to throw suggestions at me for things to do and he had said something about Salem Witch Trials. Well, that seemed like it wouldn’t exactly translate to a skin so I went with an “After” theme which can really be translated however you like. I started out with the Minerva Witch’s Hat from Illusions.. another stunning piece of work from Siyu Suen and the catalyst for the whole outfit. I probably spent hours scouring the grid to find an outfit that gave off the air I wanted it to when I went back to BareRose for the umpteenth time and saw this outfit named “Stheno” and knew that was the one. Throw on some accessories and here you are.

The first picture is probably my favorite shot ever. I did minimal processing to it because it just came out really neat straight up from the game. And yeah, I got a pretty big kick out of using two “Cute” poses for this set. ^.~ As always, click the pictures to get to my Flickr page where you can view them larger where they look much better. :D

BBBC Day 7

Posted by Fricka on June 12, 2008

Day 7: Blogger’s Choice. You pick something that’s important to you to talk about!

Well.. that’s a broad topic. :P Something that’s been on my mind lately.. thus making it important is the impending release of Wolf Parade’s new album. They are my most favorite band ever ever. I’m definitely a crazed fan girl when it comes to them. And since I was listening to some of the new tracks today I decided to make a Wolf Parade shirt for my avatar to wear in SL. Yus, I’m a geek.

So alongside the Wolf Parade tee I thought I’d lump some of my favorite things all into one picture. I have a thing for goggles and these new goggles I grabbed from ::69:: are my new favorites. I also <3 facial piercings. If you’ve seen my previous pictures, I’m rarely without them. So I saw that Electro Kitty had a new piercing available and it had so many options so I had to get it. I played around with them and kinda set up my favorite pairings together. I also love jeans and these are my favorite pair of jeans in SL, they are from League. And of course, my beloved chucks from Akeyo. This might be the closest I’m able to get my avatar to looking like my actual self… down to the hair actually which is that shade of pinky black right now. :D So now you know way too much about me. O.o

Barely Lucid

Posted by Fricka on June 9, 2008

I’m still sick… though I’m feeling just the slightest bit better.. but I am hopped up on meds so that may be clouding my judgment tricking me into thinking I feel better than I actually am.. which is fine by me! I hadn’t planned to log into SL today but I ended up having to take care of a few botched transactions so since I was already on I was lured to the 50% off sale at ::69:: The sale is only on today so get there while it’s still going on.. and be sure to check out the Succubus Pumps which are, by far, my pick for my favorite heels in SL. Even though I have almost all the shoes from ::69::, I couldn’t resist buying a cute pair of boots and a sweet pair of goggles before calling it a day.

BBBC Day 1

Posted by Fricka on June 7, 2008

Ok, I’m an admitted secret admirer/stalker/gawker of many SL bloggers. I’m wowed by their creativity, taste, writing skills and total kyootness. I don’t know how you all do it! As soon as I set out to write my blog I almost always hit a writer’s block and end up going, OMG, I lurve this. But anyways, I’m starting to hit that wall so I better get to the point before I keep blathering. One of my favorite bloggers to secretly admire is Alicia Chenaux. Her blogs are really fun to read and always interesting. So when she issued the challenge to bloggers to update daily, well, I thought I’d give it a shot… sure, only a handful of people know my blog exists, but oh well, I’m gonna do it anyways. ^^

So I’ll start with the question of the day which was:
“Why did you decide to start blogging about your Second Life?”

I started my original blog within just a short time of entering Second Life. Once I figured out how to make myself not look like a Orientation Island reject (which I actually was as I got dumped in some random sim, very far away from Orientation Island, left to fend for myself), I really wanted to have a spot to show screenshots of the game and share some of my thoughts, finds, and random thoughts. I was really inspired by all the blogs I came across when I googled random SL related things and thought a blog would be the perfect spot to catalog my journey. I didn’t expect to keep up with it as my history with blogs is pretty bad, I’ve left many a blog abandoned to the wayside. But I’d say this one is here to stay. :D But my big thing with this blog is really to show pics of cool stuff… so here’s a random pic I dug out of my screenshots folder to end the post with. :D

Fallen Fae

Posted by Fricka on June 3, 2008

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. ^^

Two Guns

Posted by Fricka on May 30, 2008

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

Posted by Fricka on May 23, 2008

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

Posted by Fricka on May 15, 2008

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.

Silent

Posted by Fricka on May 8, 2008

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.
