Stupid Fropping Lawra.....

So there I was this morning, racing with the hamsters on motorbikes, chatting on skype and what did I do?
SPLASH. Dumped my coffee all over my keyboard. See what happens when I get time off from RL work? Bad things happen. The poor lappy is currently dis-assembled on on the kitchen table drying out.
Everyone cross their damn fingers is not fried.
Funny thing however, hubby said 'at least you use sweet n low instead of sugar' and I'm thinking...WTF is he talking about?
APPARENTLY sweet n low is less corrosive than cane sugar. Whooda thunk? lol

So...4 hours of drying down, 20 to go. Wish me luck!

Another Fropping Blog post? EGADS!

Thanks mucho to the awesome Kenz who has invited me to be apart of the 'Keys to the VIP Gridwide Hunt' More info as it becomes available.

Froppity Hoppity!

So....lots of things going on this week.
We've pretty much got the mall put back together and it's looking great.
The houses are about...oh I'd say 50% done and Fukmi and Heather have been busting their butts to get this done.
Poor little wini is being bombarded with IMs and my stupid requests and she's probably wishing she would have ran away lol

So besides dropping houses on peoples heads, taking a wrecking ball through the whole sim and pulling my hair out of my head (a few times over) things seem to be going great! lol
To kick all of this off, we're going to do a pre-grand opening party. Sort of.
Just a small little concert to prove that while yes, we do know how to tear down peoples houses and disrupt their lives, we also know how to have fun.

Dann Numbers will be playing live at the new club house in Fropville this Thursday night at 6:30pm slt.
Dann played a show for us at the old mall, when we had Flounderpalooza, and he gained quite the fan base *leers at lexi* lol He has an amazing voice and a sense of humor to boot! If you want to listen to some of his songs go here:

One of my favorites is Parking Lot Kings. It makes ya think =)
So, yeah..go check out his music and give him some credit he deserves. You can also buy songs from him for .99, awesome deal.
Hope to see you all there this Thursday night!




Until then, ciao!

Holy Frop!

Wow, lots of changes.

A while ago, I started toying with the idea of re-branding. Scary thought huh?
I don't really make 'neko' themed items anymore...and it was just time for a change.

So I kept toying with the idea, talked to some people and decided I'd do it, but didn't set myself a time frame to do so...

A few weeks ago, I got notice from Todd, who was the owner of Pretty 'n Punk sim, that he was getting rid of his sim. My initial thought was nuuuuu!
I heart Todd. He has been my inspiration since I met him. Nekorifik and The Pounded Flounder wouldn't exist if it weren't for him. He was brutally honest when I started making things, told me when they sucked, and finally pushed me to start selling things.
My first shop I ever opened was on his sim at PnP, and I moved up from there, bought my own land, opened a shop and then opened The Pounded Flounder Shopping District.

Anyways...after a lot of time of me trying to convince Todd not to leave, because I couldn't imagine not having the PnP sim (I also have lived there in his homes for the last year and a half) We ended up deciding he'd transfer the sim to lil 'ol me.
And thus began the last 2 weeks of hell. *laughs*

I've renamed the sim to Fropville. The name Frop! has an interesting story and I'll try to make it short. A longggg time ago there was a little kitty in SL that means the world to me. I still keep in regular touch with him outside of SL, and he's really my bestest bestest friend *waves to the Nemo Kitty and blows kishes*
We're both a little bit *out there* and anyone that knows me well enough, knows that I just randomly make up words. Hence, the word Frop came, and for the last 2 years, I honestly thought I'd made it up. I recently found out however, that I in fact did NOT create this word. Apparently, Frop is a hallucinogenic drug that you smoke.
LMAO. Either way, it fits the craziness of all of this. So...Frop it. Hehehehe.

So back to what's going to happen now. I'm going to try and keep the PnP sim similar to how it has been for the last 2 or so years. I have been working on rebuilding the mall to try and accommodate all of my renters at the current Flounder, as well as the current renters at PnP.
The homes will stay as well. We do have to rebuild it all at some point, but until the mall phase is complete, I'll leave those alone.

So there's that. My whole big story. A huge thanks to Todd for giving me the opportunity to do this.He's planning on keeping his main shop on the Fropville sim. A huge thanks to Winirose who is planning on staying on at PnP for the time being. She is amazing more than she knows, and I have loved this girl since I met her.
A HUGE HUGE thanks to Annabella. Without her, The Pounded Flounder wouldn't even run or stay standing, and is my bestest lil friend ever. A huge thanks to Fukmi and Amanda for all their help with pulling this all together, and a HUGE thanks to my Lan man for pulling together the project planning that will help the transition go a hell of a lot more smoothly. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone in my soap box speech.

We'll be doing a HUGE opening party, that will tie in to the fashion show we've been planning for a few months. As more information is available, we'll get it to you.

Now for frop sake, I'm out.
*blows kisshes and hands out skittlez*
