Sims Talk: Looking for download of a "flame" shirt

Before I post a WCIF, I thought it would be worth checking in with my trusted friends and readers. I'm trying to locate a very specific pattern on a button-up shirt for Chester Gieke. He's making a brief appearance in my next update, but I want to get him styled a certain way before I show him.







I know, I know... I'm really typecasting him, but the flames will also match his red hair quite nicely. (Also, my apologies to anyone who I am indirectly calling a "gieke" here, but these shirts do have that association, at least where I come from. And there's nothing wrong with being a "gieke", right?)

Thanks in advance for your help.

*snort* That shirt looks like something my dork of a brother in law would wear (he's 16 and a major dork, bless his heart--he even has Bad Teenage Facial Hair!)

Wait, he's more into tigers, but I think he might dig that shirt too.

And between you, me and cindyanne, we have a nice Chester fanclub going on. Chester's Angels!

Oh, definitely. This often goes with bad teenage facial hair. I might have to give Chester that too. There really is a certain type that wears these shirts a lot of the time, and the tiger thing (or giant anime prints) falls into the same category. It's a geekier version of a fun party-animal patterned shirt.

Chester Gieke is the next big thing. We're just trendy. *snicker* Soon, everyone will be playing Chester.

I gave my Chester a business that specializes in gaming, computers, collectible figurines, sci-fi/science stuff (Thanks, FT!) and other geeky items (including collectible swords). It's called Gieking Out, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Those swords are flying off the shelves too, and he's making a lot of money that way.

Sorry to jump in, but I love the name of the business- Gieking Out, LOL. I LOL'ed in RL so hard. That's some seriously awesome naming. :D

Thanks. It amuses me every time I load the lot. I'll just be there giggling to myself. I've always loved that expression - geeking out. A friend of mine also says that about her husband when he's off playing D&D. That's her official title for it.

Am I spelling his name wrong? I can't remember if it's Gieke or Geike. Those i before e things always throw me off.

Hmm, now that you mention it I'm not sure. I automatically put e before i but that might not be right. (I should check that before I do the update with him, given my track record of effing up names).

Now I want to make Chester's Angels.

I'm going to double check to be sure too. I have a feeling it's Gieke, but I could be wrong.

You should totally make Chester's Angels. You can have my simself for it if you want. She'd be pumped to do that. And if it's us and Cindy, we'd have a blonde, brunette and a redhead. Almost a full set. How perfect.

*snicker*

It could be a dream sequence.

Oooh. I do love a good dream sequence.

It's Gieke.

I didn't check, I just remember these things.

You're completely right. It is Gieke. I've been playing around with Chester again this evening.
