Skulls & Lingerie

 

Hey luvs! I hope I am finding you all in great spirits <3 

When it comes to 'Goth' fashion...it is very much up in the air. People will argue it forever I think and ultimately, it doesn't matter. What matters in the end is if YOU like it. 

What most of us can agree on is that black is the primary color. We can work with purples and red, blues and greens but pretty much always black. 

There is a model on Facebook who I absolutely adore. People have referred to her as a 'Goth' model, I don't know if you will agree, in any case though, she is just gorgeous! I find her to be breathtakingly stunning and just gawk at her pictures all creeper like lol. She managed to take a very 'gothy' picture without black in it and I simply had to bring it to Second Life!

Look up "Threnody" on Facebook and you will see exactly what I am talking about! You will also see how much she was my RL to SL inspiration. Mind you, nobody can do it as sexy as she does but I damn well tried!

It also gave an opportunity to show off the gorgeous bed set by Death Row Designs at The Secret Affair. It comes with tons of poses, single and adult. (The curtain in the front is not included). Just another gorgeous piece of DRD furniture. The Secret Affair ends on the 31st so only a few days to check it out and grab this bed while you're there!

I just got my PC all upgraded though and it seems to be loving on SL so hopefully I can get going with more projects soon! 

Luv you all a ton! I shall return shortly <3

All the Witchery

Hey luvs! I hope your week started out well. My Monday was...well, a Monday. Overly busy and annoying! I made it through though and I am here!

So one of my favorite things to talk about, things to find, etc. are freebies in SL. Maybe not even just freebies but things that are such a bargain that you just can't pass up. Why? Because when I first started playing Second Life, this wasn't even an option and if you did find something that was free you had to sit in a chair for several hours (camping), even then, mesh wasn't out back then so it was all system clothes...I know some of y'all remember what I'm talking about! Quality freebies were insanely hard to come by! It never ceases to amaze me the amount of things that are available to us now at such a great bargain or as group gifts!

This gown is a group gift from DRBC this month! Are you in the DRBC group? You should be! Dizzy (owner of DRBC) is usually right on top of her group gifts and they are always awesome and very well done! Make sure to head over to DRBC in world where you can join the group and snag this gown and follow on Facebook (linked above) for updates on future group gifts and other upcoming goodies! We're spoiled. You can look damn good real quick as a newb Second Life player. I had a friends sister start playing Second Life with me. I gave her some linden to join Little Bones, and Moon groups. She joined DRBC, FK Designs. I sent her to Pink Fuel for the free 'Under 30 day' skin, and bought her a bargain AO (like 200L I think) at Oracul that is actually great quality, I use it all the time. For less than 500L she looked a damn sight better than I did when I started out as a newbie! Lol people were accusing her of being an 'alt' and she didn't know what that meant. My very first blog post has a picture of me when I first started Second Life (that's not what I looked like when I started the blog! Lol) so if you can go back that far, you'll see what newbie Gia looked like!

Can't keep you long today! Already working on other projects, they're keeping me so busy! I love it!
See you all soon! Have a great week <3

Well hello again! 

So glad we're nearing the end of the week, it's been a long one. 

The events that have opened recently have been pretty awesome! I hope you've all had a chance to make it to them. Don't worry, I will have them linked below for you to pop over and play grabby hands. 

Glam Affair released several different skin tones for the Lelutka Mesh head and I have to say, I am in love with so many of them! Here is a closie of the different shades.

The one I am wearing in the picture is #14, a rare and so very gorgeous. For my pale skinned lovers, this is one you will want. With that fierce eyeliner on such porcelain skin, it definitely is a head turner! Maybe it's just me, maybe not but the eyebrows seem to have changed too. Fuller, fluffier and more defined...all things that none of us women mind!

I won't talk your pretty lil heads off tonight as I still have such things to show you. But I will be back again really soon. 

Luv you all, enjoy the rest of your week! <3

"Sorrow Is Their Master, Cackling With Laughter.."

Such is life, real life....taking up all my precious blog time. That's alright though. It gives me a chance to bring a more artsy side to myself out and that is always my favorite way to blog.
With my lack of blog time, of course is the lack of time to be in game as well and that saddens me...and also beings many questions to mind.

Our relationships in SL are precious, I mean, at least they are to me. When I make a friend, I keep my friends. When I am not able to log in, I miss my friends. If I were a sim (as in a sim character from the game 'The Sims'), my social level would be dropping drastically. Most of my socializing is done in Second Life because, as I've said many times, I'm an introvert.
The point I am getting at here is, how well do you know your friends? Are they willing to reach out to you when you don't log in? Will they forget about you should you decide to take a break from Second Life?
The friends that I know will go above and beyond, are the ones that I hold dearest to me. Though I love them all...some of you I would take a bullet for....like in the leg or something though.<3
In this game, the one we devote so much time to...it's just my personal thought and experience that, you only ever make a couple REAL friends. Treat them well, cherish them. 

So I had a chance to show off another Petite Mort dress in my creepy lil pic. Though I thought of all kinds of fanciful ways to doll it up, the darker side of me took over and this happened instead...and I was happy with it. With 6 different shades available, I am sure you will love it as much as I do.

Hopefully I will be able to come back around again soon with more pretty thangs! Until then, have a blast, don't forget to enjoy your real life too!

"As Sweet As the Wind That Blows Me to You..." {Saviad 2015}

 {Taken Here}

Saviad starts soon, April 10th! The list of creators for this event has me so excited. They are definitely some of the most innovative and unique designers on the grid. "Gia..what is Saviad?!" you ask? Well...Saviad is an event where art meets fashion. It is a joint venture between three leading haute couture designers, Solidea Folies, Violator and AD Creations. Haute Couture isn't something that visits Gia's World too often but when it does, we love to go all out! I'm going to have a blast with this event!

It's been awhile since Boudoir has visited Gia's World so I am all too honored to be able to feature it for this event. What a gorgeous outfit and in typical Boudoir fashion, super unique, beautiful and inspiring. 

This is a designer who I allow to inspire my photos when blogging. MY interpretation of this outfit was Springs final release after being held captive by a harsh winter. Spring is full of innocence and rebirth and that was what I tried to capture here while showing this amazing piece of work by Boudoir.

Mark your calenders for this exciting event and keep eyes locked on Gia's World! I've got a few events lined up and lots of goodies to show you <3

I hope you all have a great weekend, whether you're celebrating this Easter holiday or not! Luff your faces, be back soon! Here's a line up of things to come for Saviad!

{Taken at Frisland}

Hey guys and dolls! I thought I would go to another part of Gia's World this week. It's not a part of me that is seen too often but it is a part of me that is there nonetheless. 

I always hope that my readers, my friends, everyone...understand why I named my blog 'Gia's World'. Not to be a narcissist haha. No, I named it that because there are SO many different sides of me. I can't just claim to blog one style of clothing when I love so many different styles. From Goth to Rockabilly, Fantasy, Fancy, Chic, Casual, and oh so many in between, it's all found in Gia's World. They're all different parts that make up me...Gia <3

So Sn@tch hasn't made an appearance here in awhile. Blame Ivey, hurry, everyone go prod her for not making these sooner lol. So she makes these gorgeous lil hip hugging pants and they just so happen to have the name 'Gia' in it (cuzshelovesmelongtimemhmm) and so I HAD to have them in Gia's World! They come in several different colors, have a nice rounded tush (no odd flat butt), and fit the Maitreya mesh body really well, which is what I have on in the pic and rarely take off. 

Mind you, this is Ivey's previous release....because this woman already released more Sn@tch goodies! Seriously, she is so very hard to keep up with. The awesomeness just keeps coming, we Sn@tchettes don't complain though! Follow Sn@tch on Facebook or on the Sn@tch Blog to keep updated on all things Sn@tchable!

Alright, alright...I am working on another post already. Sorry I am so super picky about my pics so it takes me way longer than what it should but I'm on it! Promise <3 See you shortly!

We All Float Down Here

Oh...are we supposed to be decking the halls already? Not in Gia's World kiddies! It might forever look like Halloween because that's what makes Gia happy in Gia's World!
Cirque de Seraphim started several days ago and I made sure to pop in and snag a few goodies. Surprisingly what I had the most fun with was poses but you know me, I love my poses. But there's a ton of stuff from clothing to decor, poses, shoes, accessories and everything else in between.
Some of my favs are there and I had to show off their goodies!
Now, if you've been a resident in Gia's World for awhile, you know Dark Passions is always included or around somewhere but usually on my nails, did you know she occasionally plays with clothes too?! She does! She made a cute lil ringmaster outfit I had to play around in for awhile.

I do have a confession, my confession is this...when it comes to carnie/cirque/freak show I am bias and I love taking photos based on those themes! So yes, I may flood you a bit in pics this time but go ahead and admit it, you enjoy it! <3

Okay okay...back soon with more my luffs! Go to Cirque de Seraphim and grab some stuff!

And Death Climbs Up the Steps One by One...

{These Photos taken at Missing Mile}

Oh my loves, my deepest apologies for not being here for you! But if you know me then I am sure you understand why. Halloween is such a busy time for my little family and right after it is Dia de los Muertos which we have celebrated for many many many generations in our family. Far beyond sugar skulls  and face paints, it is something we hold dear and sacred. From the feast to the clothing we chose to wear for three days straight. Music, altars, photographs, homemade candles, homemade sweetbreads and our family favorites. It's something I am hoping to keep going strong so that generations to come will continue the tradition. So you see? I wasn't ignoring a single one of you, that I promise. 

Of course I will come back to you with DRBC breathing some life back into me, so to speak. 

I had a chance to celebrate a lil bit of my Dia de los Muertos with some friends at The Rubb that always throw the best Day of the Dead bash evar! It is a day long event (literally) and attending their events is almost like attending class. You will want to bring a pen and paper and take note because these people know their music like no other. I always come back from their events searching down artists and buying tunes online! This is the outfit I rocked there that day.

I paired up my DRBC with a splash of Eudora, Swallow, Exile and an awesome Baiastice find! Grab em' and snag em' below and I will be back soon with more stuff n thangs <3

I missed your faces so much! *smooooooch*

{This Photo taken at Small Town Green}

I've loved the Small Town Green sim for awhile now. There are little spots all over the place to capture a great moment in SL or just to sit and lounge in. This hidden and overgrown railroad track is one of my favorite little spots. Although it doesn't have build turned on, it's still a great place for bloggers/photographers etc who enjoy their outdoorsy pics. 

I knew -just- where I wanted to take this photo and I knew just want I wanted to pair up my featured item with! I am featuring Death Row Designs at A Secret Affair. The Secret Affair this round was amazing! My compliments to all parties involved. My lindens were flailed all over the place! If you haven't been there, make sure to pay it a visit and grab this gorgeous armor by DRD! 

As for my hair, don't you love it?! Ugh Moon! Both of the Moon hairs available at N21 are out of this Slworld Amazing! At least in my personal opinion. You will definitely want them both! I am crossing my fingers in hopes that only more curly hairs will come to our SL, preferably ones without flex! Not that I have anything against it myself, what you wear is your business. After all, this is YOUR SL and nobody can dress up your doll except you. I simply don't miss it going into my body whenever I move =)

Okay okay, I got so much more to show you and don't be surprised if you see this hair and the curly hair blogged several thousand times. I can't seem to get enough of them!

Tres Elegant Gothique

 {Taken at +Blasphemy+}

Oh Black Fashion Fair...why must you own my heart like so?! Last year I fell in love with this lil event (not that lil) because it revolves around the color black...and c'mon kids, what does Gia love? Black with a side of blacker! People might get tired of seeing, people may feel it's over used...but get used to that in Gia's World! It's a versatile and dramatic color that I love with all of my gothy lil black soul!

I was thrilled to find that my good friend and sponsor Bcreative, owner of Dark Passions, would be participating in the event. My nails are already pretty much exclusively done by Dark Passions and in case you dont know...she is including more and more mesh clothing to her shop and I am loving it! With her insanely unique and detailed nail designs, we can all only imagine where this is going to go with clothing. I am excited! 

Although her top seemed to call for a deadly gothy vixen type look, I decided to whip it around and match it up with this elegant dress I found at The Black Fashion Fair. It turned out to be a pleasant lil mix of goth vixen and elegance. I wore this one to Bcreative's RezDay party. She's an oldie here in SL, 10 years! And it shows in her character. No drama, no BS, just a straight forward woman who has grown on me in a very short amount of time. I <3 you B!

Also had to love on some Mystic Canvass skin because it's been awhile since she's been in Gia's World and she has been missed! Can't wait for new goodies from her creative mind as well!

Okay go and grab all the goodies and don't forget these awesome nails!!

{All Photos Taken At Small Town Green}

Seraphim Social is open! The These is 'Gone With the Wind' so of course I had to go and make my rounds. Especially since some of Gia's favs are there. I didn't quite expect to fall in love with this gown by Sakide but when I saw it...the pattern was so delicate and the gown looked so free flowing and gentle, like one you would wear while out enjoying a nice summer breezy kinda day and when a outfit makes my imagination go like that it = SOLD! It comes in multiple sizes and includes the hat shown in the photo. 

Then I made a stop at Le'Accessoires because when that opens, everyone should stop there. I've ended up snagging a few things each round since I first heard about it. Azoury is participating again and with that adorbs brolly! I have a certain love for umbrellas...and even more so for lacey ones or odd ones! With its green and naturistic vibe, I had to pair it with my flowey dress for a walk. 

Hope you have fun making your rounds there, if you haven't already! I will see you again shortly luvs!
