Texture theft.

Feeling: Still sick, and worn out.
Listening to: Stream ISL

Ah, what a night... I'm tired. I've always tried, and pretty much succeded, in staying out of drama and trouble ISL. I have my groups of close friends/neighbours, I have my Max, I have my shop and I have shopping. I stick to those, I have fun, I feel safe, and drama is like this distant thing I hear about on the news. Today trouble came a'knocking on my door.

I wrote this article in PXP about a store I discovered a couple of days ago. I liked this girls designs, cause some of them had a retro feel to them, straight bangs and all. So I ended up praising this hair in PXP, a couple of hours later I get an IM telling me the textures are stolen. And aaaah... I felt so bad. I felt I had been so wrong. How could I be so wrong? And what was I supposed to do? This was my third article in PXP, so I'm still very unsecure about how things are done. Back and forth, deleting, rewriting, hoping no one would get mad, hoping this wouldnt reflect itself on ME as a designer or a person. To put it simple; I felt so small.

Zyrra Falcone, who is the creator of the original textures, was very, very cool to me about it all. I am terribly sorry this happened to her, and very thankful that she didnt blame me for not recognizing her textures.

The article is gone now, since te hair is worthless and I no longer mean a single word of what I wrote. Lots of people have been banning Karina Popinjay from their stores (me included), and I hope word gets around so that no one buys her hair. I always believe in giving people second chances, so if the girl actually manages to come up with some textures of her own, I'll check it out. But untill that day, she is off my radar.

Yeah, I'm making this into a big deal, but I try to imagine how the Panache girls feel, seing their work ripped off like that. Other than that I'm sick, I'm lonely, I'm emotional (funeral today, *shrugs*), I'm lost and I'm sleepy.

Night.
