Spectra - Happy Halloween
Oct 31, 7:41 am
Growing up we didn’t celebrate Halloween in the traditional sense. It just didn’t fit well with our family ideals. So it has never been an important holiday to me, it’s just not a day I feel compelled to celebrate. In fact, writing this blog may be the most remotely festive thing I’ll do this Halloween. That doesn’t mean I don’t …

Whoo Hoo!! Fidget came to visit! I picked her up at the air-port (which is literally at the end of my street) and we went to grab an early dinner at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. It’s a nice place to eat that over looks the water in Marina Del Rey. Then we went back to my apartment. I …

Spectra - In Your Face Cyberspace!
Aug 05, 10:00 am
For a long time I was the silent observer here in the Frag Doll forums. Like a spy, just watching and reading; much like I was doing with all the other website forums I was frequenting. Then Phoenix posted her Mile High Club Blog. Knowing how hard that achievement is to get and recognizing something truly amazing, I had to …

Spectra - E3: more then just a casting call
Jul 15, 11:00 am
I don’t know how long the Frag Doll casting process has lasted in the past, but Casting Call 2009 felt like forever! For me, those months were intense to say the least.

Jul 02, 11:00 am
A few months ago, my brother and sister decided to bless our home with a Nintendo Wii. It was a nice surprise and a gift I would not have bought for myself (having the pre-conceived idea that the Wii had little to offer me as a hardcore gamer). I have not played a Nintendo since I was kid. When I …

2009 marks the beginning of my journey as a Frag Doll. It also happens to be the same year a new installment of Splinter Cell is releasing. Now, to find myself working for the same company that makes one of my favorite games ever, seems too good to be true. So when I was invited to go to E3 I …
