Sakura

Posted by Fricka on

I’ve recently become utterly obsessed with time travel otome games so I’ve had kimonos on the brain. I found this insanely adorable little kimono-ish dress at Japonica and it’s so one of those things I wish I could have in real life. My friend’s list is maxed in Ikemen Sengoku but I’ve got tons of space in Destined to Love so if you play send me an add: P96X5BEVL

Gratuitous Levels of Unicorn

Posted by Fricka on

Just in under the wire, goodies from Fantasy Faire! I couldn’t resist all the unicorn yummies from Trap & Gauze. My pic doesn’t do them justice at all. I couldn’t seem to capture that amazing rainbow properly. Also not to be missed, the collaboration ears from Illusions and Trap!

All in Your Mesh Head

Posted by Fricka on

Something I effing hate in SL is exclusivity. As a very, very small and unknown creator I’ve had a devil of a time trying to get dev kits. I’ve found if a designer doesn’t make their dev kit publicly available I’m pretty much out of luck. I’d love to make skins and goodies for all the amazing mesh body parts out there but because of brand exclusivity I’m often left out in the cold. And it sucks. Both for consumers and for creators. Maybe I’m naive but doesn’t it seem like the more stuff being created out there for your mesh whatever the more likely it will be to stay popular and sell? At some point I feel like consumers are going to tire of all looking the same. Eh, but what do I know. Luckily there are some wonderful brands out there who either have made their items Omega compatible or make their dev kits easily available. And my kudos to those brands because you folks rock.

That said, I thought I’d highlight one of those user/designer friendly brands and show off a head from Catwa. This is a newer head called Annie that is specially priced right now for Halloween. I did two different looks with the same head using skins I’ve already made and I think they look pretty rad right out of the box. I’m super excited to play around some more with this head and hopefully release some goodies in the future!

Urban Drow

Posted by Fricka on

RL or SL, I’m a sucker for a sale so I took full advantage of the winter sale at Sn@tch this weekend.  Sn@tch is a steal on a normal day with crazy low prices for fat packs of everything but throw in a sale and you can’t beat the bargains to be had.  If you hurry, you might still be able to catch it before it’s over tonight 2/4.

I felt like this punkish look was just begging to be worn by a Drow, so there you have it.

I’m super sorry I didn’t manage to get to get this post done up when these glorious boots from Schadenfreude were still out for Collabor88.  They were from December’s cycle so don’t appear to be available right now but maybe they’ll pop up in Allegory’s shop eventually… I hope so, these boots are just made of lust.

So I’ve been listening to an unseemly amount of Moonface lately and well, Spencer Krug’s voice just does it for me… he could sing the phone book and I would melt, I just, that voice… unf.  Yeah, that little random morsel of information had very little to do with this particular look but I happened to be listening to Heartbreaking Bravery while I was piddling about in SL and yeah, there you have it.

I’m swimming in cold meds at the moment.  Not gonna lie, the fuzzy headed-ness is kinda nice and adds this interesting dimension to just sitting and listening to music.  That visceral reaction to music I’ve always had is so seriously amped up right now and wow.  Just wow.

There, I’m done sharing.  I really should have put that on a personal blog.
/hits publish anyways

La Fée Verte

Posted by Fricka on

Ruina Kessel of .{Rue}. has created an awe inspiring new line of skins that truly are works of art.  If you’ve ever lamented the lack of fantasy skins in SL, fret no more because Ruina has you more than covered.  She made a billion colors (60 to be exact), of which you are certain to spend hours agonizing over which one to wear.  And she even named a skintone after me that made me squeee with fangirlish delight. <3  In the pic I’m showing off the Damu skintone that looks beyond brilliant with this lovely little ensemble from Evie’s Closet.

52 Weeks of Color – Week 17

Posted by Fricka on

Week 17 of Luna Jubilee’s 52 Weeks of Color Blogger Challenge is Electric Lime.
Er, this was a tough color to do considering I’ve never exactly heard of it before.  I ended up going with something I made which is probably unforgivably tacky so I promise not to do it very often.

52 Weeks of Color – Week 16

Posted by Fricka on

Week 16 of Luna Jubilee’s 52 Weeks of Color Blogger Challenge is Teal.
I admit it, I love impractical fantasy ‘armor’.  Chain mail bikinis, ridiculously revealing mage robes, skin tight rogue leathers, all of it.  I’m of the notion that various magical enchantments are really what’s protecting my character.  Not that I don’t think being clad in a full set of plate armor isn’t also totally sexy, because it so is, but I do have a weakness for skimpy armors.  There, I said it, I feel better.
