Frisland

The info reads:  A place where time stands still. Inspired by a mysterious phantom island in the North Atlantic, Frisland waits for photographers and explorers with wonderful hidden spots perfect for relaxing. Come over and enjoy Frisland!

So in the spirit of being less..lazy...I decided to check this place out and finally take some pictures, which I've been meaning to do for months and months but...yeah..lazy.

Open Mouth Redux - less suckage

I decided to give that open mouth stuff another go... This time I updated things in my inventory and even bought a couple more and took pictures of them all for a comparison.  The images are unprocessed to show what these teeth look like "out-of-the-box" without any special lighting or effects.
I tried 2 Illmatic attachments (even though the mp reviews weren't so great...seemingly unwarranted as well because I had no problems with the product), The PXL Open Mouth Pro Fatpack, The open mouth tattoo layers that came with my skin and a few others.  Here are the results, presented uniformly.

I really feel like PXL open mouth pro was the clear winner here.... 

I liked the results and can see using these in the future (though for a picture, there's nothing wrong with the tattoo layer teeth on lips either)

PXL Open Mouth Pro V2.0

and it's cute addons (I like the piercing addon the best)

I mention that the Illmatic teeth didn't have the best reviews on the mp - mostly it seemed the few customers who took the time to review the items were angry at the creator's bad customer service, but they also hinted that they had problems with the product so I decided to give it a go myself.  I found, straight out of the box after unpacking, there were no problems.  It might be true that the creator is terrible at customer service, dunno, but you shouldn't need his help with these teeth. 

So YAY for me - I finally ended the cycle of suckage and found something I liked and the best part is it was already sitting in my inventory (shopaholic) for god only knows how long.

I'm not overly fond of the open-mouth tattoos and attachments.  I think the idea, in theory, is good, but the presentation itself just never looks quite right.  But of course, this didn't stop me from attempting a half-arsed image with one of those open-mouth attachments.....

And the closed-mouth version....

I'm really kind of annoyed with my computer atm... I would really have liked to have been able to use my drawing tablet for the edits on this image, but either my tablet is dying or my computer usb ports have some kind of issue and I feel far too crappy to do anything other than complain about it.

Daft Punk

I don't feel like making an actual post, so I'll just throw this out there

Red

I've been a blue-eyed-blonde in sl for 7 years (minus a few brief spurts where I was a brunette).  I felt like it was time for a change...so here we go...RED + hazel eyes.  I like it.  It feels warmer.  I'll probably go back to blonde at some point but I'm really liking the brassier reds for now.

I love the new Ikon Promise eyes.  I bought almost every variety.  They have features you can mess with like glow... but that's far less interesting to me.  I'm way more excited about changing my eye size on the fly via hud... not that I couldn't just change system eyes before for the same thing, but this to me just feels more convenient.  Whatevs.

Wishful Thinking

So... Yes, it's winter... but I thought maybe my toes would warm up if I created a nice warm beachy image.

It didn't work...I'm still freezing my arse off.

Postcard Christmas

When boredom strikes, the destination guide is an sl-life-saver.  Saw "A Postcard Christmas" featured and thought why not?  When I tp'd in, I immediately thought of a newer Caverna Obscura outfit release...put everything together with a cute Diva hair and made my own christmas fun.

The sole purpose of this image is to give a full view of the outfit...personally I think it's beautiful.

 I love the little gazebo towards the left side of the image.

I adore the flowers in this hair and the wispy fly-away strands.

Wandering around, I came across this carousel....loved it.  It's almost creepy, especially in this semi-barren, icy, isolated setting.
