A Violin Romance

{These photos taken at Flagship}

We're in our last days of a Clockwork Spiral and I feel like I've only given you a lil peek into what is available. I hope you've all been able to hop over and take a look around and grab a few things. 

Although DRBC's main steamcraft dress was a hit amongst the awesome releases there, another dress by DRBC is available as well and I adore it so! With it's elegant but dark style, it reminded me of a steampunk Lolita kind of look and this is what inspired my photo, along with the awesome and hidden little corner at Flagship that I've had my eye on for awhile.

I look for places like that. People in SL amaze me with their creativity and ability to take just a lil corner of the grid and make it into something adorable, eye catching, peaceful. If you know of places like this, always feel free to nudge me and send me SLurls. Besides my passion for SL Photography, I also enjoy traveling here and there and just seeing what people are doing with their world. 

Keeping it kinda short this time to try and show you more pretties! 

See you all again soon! <3

Did you all make it to A Clockwork Spiral yet? If not, get to it! There's soooo much to show you all and two weeks just isn't enough time in Gia's World! Another one of my favs was this avatar set by Fallen Gods Inc. With such a complete set up, It made my blogging life super simple. It includes the dress of course, shoes, skin, hair, gloves, top hat, brolly and shape (however I used my own in these photos). 

While I was out and about, I had a fellow SL'er send me a portrait she took of me while I was AFK. She found the look to be quite interesting. The look made me feel very statuesque, not doll-like but still coin-operated. 

My bottom photo is unedited! *GASP* not a touch of photoshop on it.  I just feel like messing with it at all was unnecessary. The goodies in the bottom pic are located at A Clockwork Spiral too (with the exception of a couple, the girls portrait and the small suitcase). All by 22769 ~ [Bauwerk] which never cease to amaze me with their creativity and originality and quality! (Yas, I fan girl them).

Okay okay, enough of my ramblings. Just make sure to hit up A Clockwork Spiral and have a ball. It'll only be around till October 1st and then you have another year to wait!

{These Photos Taken at A Clockwork Spiral}

Full Steam ahead! A Clockwork Spiral is up and rollin'! There are a number of events that make Gia's World tremble with excitement and this is one of them. I always look forward to how themes inspire people. It's like taking a peek into their mind for a moment. The mind you're catching a glimpse of belongs to none other than one of Gia's World favorites (evar) DRBC! Last year, I wasn't yet a full on blogger during this event but I was already madly in love with DRBC. I saw the dress that was going to be featured at A Clockwork Spiral 2013 (which I blogged here!) and I had to have it! So I went there specifically for that dress but came out with bags and bags of goodies! DRBC is mostly vintage, rockabilly and psychobilly but it never stops her from venturing out and taking over other genres as well and I am SO glad for that! Because as we know, I am eclectic as all hell with my fashion! Yep, I'm that selfish, I simply want it all and enjoy doing so!

This years featured dress is also a mind blowing one! It's also pretty awesome to compare the two and see how much DRBC has evolved since then. The dress allowed me to get in storytelling mode and that is my favorite thing about blogging. Putting together an outfit is one thing but laying out a story for it is quite the other!

This event, besides being a place to upgrade your Steampunk wardrobe, decor, etc...is also an event you want to shop at because a portion of the featured items go to The National Kidney Foundation. Designers for this event were given the option to give 100% of their featured items proceeds to the Kidney Foundation or to make two items, both with 50% of the proceeds going to the Kidney Foundation, in either case...it is a great reason to (and completely justifies the spending of L$$$!) have a blast spending money on some amazing things. 

Also don't forget that Cursed events are a bunch of party-hardy people. Haha! That means clubbin' will be had throughout the duration of the event and these parties are ones you will love! Crowd is always pleasant, convos are always interesting, and weird but who doesn't like how weird compliments interesting?! And of course, the music is the best by some of the best music mentors on the grid!
