Enie, meanie girl

Hi gals, today I bring a cap with a story I promised long ago :)




I hope you enjoy what I've done for today. As I don't have much time to go into a blabbery frenzy, studies ahead you know. I'll only say that this introduces Calliope as a frisky girl, but we'll see! :)

P.S: Noticed a mistake on readibility, changed and edited :)

The Feminator (Ad Caption campaign)

Hi gals, no, no, no this is not a campaign as the title suggest. This is a preview of a caption I'm working on :D


Recently I had a conversation on medical care with a friend of the university, and we talked about how medics from my country gives you Ibuprofen for about anything you have, and well almost any medicine have a component of Ibuprofen in its formula. The pill of the future, or so called it the brits! You got brits for everything these days *giggle*


Anyway...


Working on that Idea and since we talk stuff sometimes about feminity in our captions, I had the idea of changing Ibuprofen to Feminofren as it would be a pill that medics give you by going to the hospital. Like that would happen! heh heh heh


And another thing:


made, crafted, enveloped: I know it sounds redundant, but that's on porpuse. Made for making the idea, crafted for creating the pill and enveloped for putting it in a box. But maybe this wouldn't be understand at all, if not explained :P

Enjoy it!


A bit Caitlyniesque but, I like the format :P


Thanks to my lovely friend Kyra for proofreading my caps. I hope we can bounce something good from this collaboration and possible more ideas for both ends :)

Pizzicato for Strings

Hey gals, how are you doing?


Today I bring you a cap, that I was experimenting with, so you tell me at the end which one you like :)


Recently I downloaded a pack of fonts, to make it more visually appealing the reading, and talking about that... I think I would love someone who would endure my writings, to proofread them... I know maybe it just much too ask, but anyway I try to make for a better reading with each one!.


Here I present you the original cap:


So well the usual from me in a non-creative day, apart from the new fonts. Which I'm still experimenting nothing new.


And then while listening to this kind of old music. I mean the pizzicato for strings, It's a thing you won't hear over modern music (unless you go for jazz or electronic music that's it!). Its a technique that consist of plucking the strings from a string instrument. Little by little making squeaking sounds or that depends of the tempo and it produces a timbre that is called inharmonicity because the sound doesn't belong to harmonic series and after the string is bowed it returns quickly to the harmonic ratio. Producing a marvelous sound. It's a cool technique that you won't hear it unless you are listening to Johann Strauss or Bach or the above said :)


To the topic. When I found that well, the woman is playing the instrument, she is also talking about using that instrument to enthrall someone... so maybe the violin should appear it behind. 


And I said... well why not the notes? Yes that's my head working. The only thing that I don't like about this, is that maybe would make a bit for a hard reading... nonetheless, it's perfect, because she could be talking about an ancient score an the paper does demonstrate it!.

Anyway this was my other choice.


And finally, the one I like the most, you have the musical score a bit more obscure to make for a better readibilty and the strings from the violin used to accompany the title.

Hope you have enjoyed an interesting journey to my head...


I think this is the first time that I encountered I could do a bit more of work behind the scenes for the cap. Have you ever encountered if you are a captioner, such a dilemma? Or if you are not a captioner... do you care about it, or just go for the story?

Mirror, mirror...

...Who's the most bitchiest of all?


Okay as I never realized the hour, while making this cap. I can say, this is surely a cap zone for me... but it's pretty late hehe :)


I'm mostly surprised, that no one attempted a cap with the idea of that mirror from Snow White! After watching that poorly attempt at bringing the concept to a new level... and I have to say that I felt like Peter from Family Guy in the cinema... I have the idea stuck on my head to create a cap based on Snow White, but I felt it would be a bit cliche so I thought a bit more and come up with this.


What if the mirror was bored from listening to whether old hags to beautiful spoiled young princess the same question over and over and over?


Well you get the answer in my cap. 






And with that an hoping that the other Snow White in the summer will be good I bid you good night or good afternoon or good morning. Depending on which part of the world you are in!


Hugs and Kisses Alectra


P.S: The beauty of Julia Roberts and also the great Charlize Theron makes for a pretty bad joke on that question in the movie, especially looking at the two Snow White. Nuff Said :D

The Perfume

Hi gals, today is a good day to post a cap ( as any really :) ) 


So I decided to not let myself being crumbled in misery... just go and read any news (especially if you live in Spain and has heard the economic minister... meh doesn't matter)


Anyway, I think I hadn't made too much clean or cute caps as I would like to. I do enjoy making them, and finally have found a pic I saw in Caitlyn's site that I wanted to try, This pic evoked me many stories, though I finally found that the one depicted is the indicated. So enjoy :)




- ¿Which kind of story evokes you this image? -


I think this would have gone perfect with my recently created persona Calliope, but I didn't see a reason to include her there yet. I want Calliope to make a bigger entrance, into my stories...


Also I know I'm not consistent with themes, but next time I'll post something more attune with the spirit of this blog. YEP! Latex a go go *giggle*

P.S: Just for those at Rachel's Haven I updated my profile with a new Biography, maybe some of you will find it interesting :)

Sissy in Training 2

And with that gals, I think  I have enough to set a momentum in the finale of my cap in the next Ezine. Stay tuned :)


Sissy in Training

No, no don't worry I'm not gonna go over there :) 


Hi gals, this is for those sissies that I'm sure wanted to have their own personalized cap, but didn't know how to ask... well after some improvement on my own with english and design alike. I decided to keep capping till I get the mood on! Like Caitlyn, who was a lil' (big time) depressed over her exam... No I'm not asking for attention on that matter, don't worry :)


Today was a great day, so allergies were kind enough to shut the trap! and let me rest, so in that, I decided to be lazy with Uni and cap a little to also keep the stress off too!


As for my last post, I'm sorry for breaking the mood I'm trying to construct here. I cannot go into much detail, but it turned out to be it wasn't a simple car theft... if not for hours my father's car would have become nice, not really but nice spare parts... just because someone wanted it too. I know it sounds confusing but if you think a little you can mix that in your head as the police is taking an investigation in that. 






Okay... where was I? Ah yes, well as you can see the mood of the cap is a little dark, but with a hint of rejoice and bad news for those that do not buy the Ezine. Shameless me! As you can see it says transformation day 1. Well there is gonna be a bit more on that, perhaps a bit too much from the tone used there, but I'm trying to get a way to encourage people that like my works, to support the Haven, the lovely place that took me as for what I'm and not for anything else. With my odd manner, my no less than perfect manners too, my own place to share a laugh with friends who enjoy what I enjoy and Home for Alectra of course. :)


Anyway I hope you enjoy this one, I put lot of care into each one as It would be a great prize. Thanks a lot for the words of encouragement from last post too :)


Reccomendations for you: MDPQGAMES

I'm sure that many of you already knows what a RAGS game is, if not you better start to search on Tf games site and in the Hypnopics Collective and get a hand of it. Anyway that blog is from a friend of mine going by the same name who was a game on the making. Its pretty good and I assure you that a visit is paid for on your behalf!.

P.S: Maybe you noticed a little bit more of consistency, well thats thanks to my professor who told me that I needed to make less paragraphs between ideas and that would make my writing less chaotic... meh! don't mind that, thats just for my writing style :)


P.S2: For those that I owe a cap in the Haven, sorry again. I went on a self imposed semi-retirement to not let crumble your fantasies with my ouh so bad mood, art, writing all mixed in a nice box... Results from a bad Idea or rush. Just let me improve what I can offer, through this once again shameless place of wacky ideas results of my rusty workbench. :)
