Finding My Way Out of The Fog

{Taken at Ironwood Hills}

Oh where, oh where has that Giiiiia gone?!
Hey luvs! I've missed you, I really have. I wanted to touch base and just let you all know what was going on.
I know its been while since I've posted anything. Almost two months now! It's not like I haven't taken pictures...I have. I just got into this kind of rut (still am there btw) where I just have to find myself. Find what I want to do and how I want to move forward with Gia's World. I don't really think fashion blogging is my ultimate goal. I've never been a blogger about the sponsors or freebies.
I love clothes and all the styles in Second Life, don't get me wrong. I am sure I will always have fashion as a part of Gia's World but I think I'd like to be artsy on occasion...or more so than not, you know?
It's always taken me forever to blog and that's because I love storytelling in my pictures! I love making it look like you're peeking into someones life, even if for a moment. I don't find any sort of excitement standing in front of a wall and showing you my virtual fashion. There's a shit ton of blogs out there like that though! ...But I don't think that will be Gia's World.
So I am on this break....
I am also working on me in RL and it has been pretty awesome. I am not going to go into all the details of it but just know that it's a process and I have to do that before anything. This will allow for a much funner and healthier version of me so please, cheer me on!
So I ask for your patience while Gia's World is under construction! Enjoy the posts I will be doing here and there! Find my official page (linked above) on Facebook and follow me on Flickr too!

Until next time, you're loved <3

Macabre Burlesque!

It certainly isn't a surprise that I have a passion for my vintage fashion, styles, music, etc...that also includes Burlesque! When Burlesque is done right, oh my goodness, it is simply the sexiest thing ever. The dark side of me had to add a lil splash of macabre to my burlesque. Eudora's newest release at Uber was my inspiration for the shot. There is a top available for this outfit but I needed to add my lil skelly hands.Yes, they were dying to get their hands on me! <3
Now mind you, in case you are wondering...my stocking is obviously edited in photoshop! I was terrified to mess with that. After several tries though, I was happy with the turn out. the stockings are from a place I recently came across but will definitely be a constant in Gia's World, especially since she is in the process of making her store Maitreya and Omega friendly! \o/
When it comes to Burlesque, I don't know...there was always something about the stocking play that I found to be exceptionally sexeh! I don't have a foot fetish (do I? Lol) But I love that the women use such technique to tuck the stocking between their toes to tease you as they tug it off their leg  and hold it between their toes playfully  before slinging it off, so that look in my eye in this pic, yeah, that's exactly what it's about!
But okay, I wont be a chatter box today! I will see you all soon though! *smoooch!*

Into The Woods We Go!

Oh yes yes, I had another chance to do a collab with my loverly Anika...and I simply cannot say no to her! Especially while wearing such an adorbs lil coat. DRBC is in this round of Suicide Dollz so if you haven't been there to grab all the things, make sure to head over there and make it happen!
A friend took me out to dinner and a movie the other night and even though I had told her I heard the movie 'Into The Woods' wasn't so great, we went anyway...and it wasn't so great, not horrible though! Maybe it was just me, maybe it will be great for some people. I don't really take anybody's reviews into consideration, maybe you shouldn't either. All I am saying is that I kept falling asleep. I found the storyline to be boring, although they mashed up the fairy tales into one musical...I just couldn't get into it. That's NOT to say I don't like musicals either because I do, that one just didn't make the cut. If you decide to see it though, make sure to pay attention to Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk. I probably was more impressed by his lil performance. It definitely doesn't surprise me that he has been in other stage performances he's quite talented! Of course Meryl never fails either. I know the story has a great following and maybe the people that have had a chance to experience it live have a greater appreciation for it than we do, in any case, although all talented and great performances, it just wasn't for me.
But Back in SL---> There's a ton of events that opened and some just opening so Gia's World is a busy place right now! Eyes locked here loves, I will be back shortly!

"Baby It's Just You I'm Thinkin' Of!"

{These photos taken at Dyess Colony}

The Vintage & Cool event is almost over and I still feel like I've not even tapped into anything so I really hope you've all been there and looked around and of course, I know most of you snagged this outfit. The dress was honestly one of my favorites of the event, are we allowed to say that? Haha. Well it's true! With it's simplicity, soft floral print texture, it really did embody the theme of the event. Great job Delirium Style! The dress has so many different prints to chose from, make sure to check them all out and, it's a fair EXCLUSIVE so don't miss it!! I paired it with Eudora's Vintage & Cool release which complimented each other well with another soft floral print design on the wedges and a HUD that allows you multiple color options on the material as well as the wood part of the wedge.

I decided on doing a school girl kinda look with this outfit because...I've always loved the vintage style and being able to enjoy a teenage life during that era, I think, would have been amazing! Albeit heartbreaking! As it seems so many of the icons were so tragically/abruptly taken. Although I am in Johnny Cash's boyhood home of Dyess Colony (in SL) my heart was wrapped around Elvis during this post...well all of them. Elvis, James Dean, Patsy, Buddy Holly, Ritchie...we could go on forever, I love them all! So my post is dedicated to them, the ones that kept/keep our heads in the clouds, make us sing along and keep us in an era far better than the one we're in right now!

Oh I got more to show you, gimmie a sec <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!

The Axeman Loved Jazz

{These Photos Taken at The Sable Club}

What a cute lil Jazz hangout I found here! Thankfully it was empty and I was able to snag a few shots.

My dearest Rhapsody event is coming to an end *insert tear here!*. But I had to fit in a jazz post as to avoid the Axeman's wrath. ....Did I lose you with that one? American Horror Story fans unite! If you're a fan, you know exactly what I am talking about. I just finished AHS: Coven and I so loved it. 

If you haven't hooked yourself on it, please do so. You won't regret it. Unless you're one of those oddballs that doesn't like horror. Yes, that makes -you- the oddball and not me. I dunno, I just feel we have a lot worse things that we have to face in our day to day lives than be worried about a ghost (or other paranormal things) on film. But that's just me, and I love my horror! The Axeman though...was real. Not to glorify any kind of being that can do such things but I usually find their stories interesting.

This is Sakide for Rhapsody and the outfit was totally gorgeous. Elegant, fanciful, classy,...shall I continue? I would so wear it out for a night of some eargasmic Jazz. 

Two days left to get to Rhapsody before it all closes down. Also the views in the place are quite interesting, if you haven't been there to see it. 

2 days!

Be back soon my luff & stuffs <3! Oh but let me leave you with this...

"Now, to be exact, at 12:15 (earthly time) on next Tuesday night, I am going to pass over New Orleans. In my infinite mercy, I am going to make a little proposition to you people. Here it is:
I am very fond of jazz music, and I swear by all the devils in the nether regions that every person shall be spared in whose home a jazz band is in full swing at the time I have just mentioned. If everyone has a jazz band going, well, then, so much the better for you people. One thing is certain and that is that some of your people who do not jazz it on Tuesday night (if there be any) will get the axe." -Actual excerpt from the real Axeman's most famous letter.

Come Kick Up Some Dirt With Me!

{Taken at Dawn of Radiance}

You obviously didn't know I have a lil Country in me...I'm just kidding! Okay, confession...I ha---dislike Country music. Well, the new stuff anyway. I am surrounded by many people that love it though and so I am exposed to this music quite often. There's some guy....can't remember/don't know his name but he says something about a catfish dinner....Luke Bryan! (I had to google 'Cat Fish Dinner' lol) but anyway...can't stand him. Just had to vent that lil bit. I guess my reasoning is that Country music just seems too sugar coated nowadays. It's always about heart breaks or going out in the truck for cold beers with your picture perfect country gal who of course also loves nights under the stars...sounds of nature, hunting, burping, passing gas and scratchin--okay I'll stop there. In any case, not my thang!

HOWEVER....when you go back, back to when Loretta Lynn and Johnny Cash reigned...YUS! There's even a Garth Brooks song I like!

So my ode to Country Music will be to the ones I consider to be the originals. My Loretta, who holds such a great part of my heart because of her life story, which I loved. 

Rhapsody is still going strong. My adorbs dress is really what brought on this entire blog because otherwise, it wouldn't have happened. I saw the dress and the whole post fell into place!

Sooo many of you have been to Rhapsody already but the ones that haven't, honestly...you're missing so much. It is an event that I am just loving so much on! It only runs to July 12th so though you have some days left, it isn't forever!

Now kick up some dirt and get movin' to Rhapsody!

Secrets of Madame Bovary

{Taken at Dawn of Radiance}

I won't even begin to pretend that I know that much about Madame Bovary or her story. Sadly enough, as much of a book worm that I am, I haven't read it. As I've said in another post though, I don't like to go into anything blind so I did look her up and watched a few videos on YouTube and I am really intrigued with the book! It will definitely be on my list of 'novels I have yet to conquer'. 

It was a bit of a challenge putting the look together, especially because of the hair! Why is finding this type of hair so hard to find in our Second Life? I think designers are so centered on the here and now, current styles that are 'popular' or mainstream and so that is mostly what we see. Similar hairstyles being made over and over again. Our Second Life, at least in my personal opinion, should be diverse. We should be able to jump from look to look, style to style, century to century and have tons of options. I don't have the skill it takes to be any sort of creator in SL right now, but if I did...my shop would be like my blog. Meaning, you might see current styles on one corner of the store and vintage 50's next door to it and then right next to that, 19th century hair, etc...etc. Possibilities in SL are endless and I so wish creators would venture out more. Now, that's not to say that none do!

As you can see, Aliza Karu is very diverse with her creations. I've been able to purchase goth clothing and then this lovely homage to Madame Bovary all under one roof. Horns, Unique Hats...a wide variety of items you're sure to love as much as I do. 

I ended up finding my hair in a curious lil shop I adore, Curio Obscura of course! So many other things and hairstyles from that place that I have yet to collect. 

Back to work I go! See you soon luvs <3

-Punk Is Not Dead-

{All photos taken at The Social Scene}

So like I said in my previous blog, Rhapsody is right around the corner and I for one, am SUPER excited! I am going to try my best to show you a million and five things in a short amount of time (something I admittedly am NOT good at!). I love taking my time and enjoying stuff so it's hard for me to crunch but there are some pretty awesome things in this event that I have seen so far. 

What is Rhapsody? It's a musically themed event that is going to bring everything from furniture to hair, clothes, poses and everything in between based off of 8 different genres of music! I love my music and I love seeing how music inspires others so I am loving all over this!

I took my first look out to the land of punk. I love The Social Scene. You might find me there just relaxing while I am sorting my inventory or preparing another outfit and all just so I can enjoy the music. Even when events are held there, their DJ's are some of the most entertaining and will teach you a thang or two about some good punk!

My tops are older ones but blogging this punk look finally gave me an opportunity to show off a vest I've loved forever from a lil shop in SL that I adore called Redrum. If you haven't been there, make it a point to fix that. No seriously, it is quite an interesting shop. A lil blood and gore with a sense of humor can never go wrong!

My boots, skirt, and nails are by one of my fav people evar! Bcreative, owner of Dark Passions, honestly makes some of the best nails on the grid. Unique and detailed I love them! The ones I am wearing in the photos match my boots and my skirt also made by her, gotta coordinate! I look forward to her adding more clothes and shoes to her collection! These will be available at Rhapsody! Check em' out...

My hair..I was super excited about! I only recently said that more mohawks, newer ones need to be made with the fancy shmancy mesh and of course, the wonderful Mina brought us this badassery of a hawk! I love her hair for many reasons but one of them is that with materials enabled, I dont have to highlight at all in photoshop for you to see details! They're just making it easier and easier on me. 

Rhapsody opens June 28th and it's going to be awesome! Okay I'm off to play with more Rhapsody goodies! See ya soon my luffs <3

The Art of Post Mortem Photography

How weird is it in your opinion? Honestly. There is something I have always found beautifully disturbing, saddening, touching, sacred...so many things about post-mortem photography.
Very common in the 19th century, families would pose their loved ones and take a final photograph to remember them. Posing them in bed as if they were only sleeping, or posing them in chairs, relaxed.
I know...that a lot of you probably find that disturbing. I can respect your opinion. As I said above, I find it beautiful, but sad. Especially the photos of children, which were much more common. Mothers would hold them lovingly or pose them with a favorite toy.
Flowers, were a very common prop used for these photos. They would adorn the bed, outfit, surroundings with flowers. Needless to say, I saw this lovely Boudoir dress in all of its gorgeous, macabre glory and, I don't know why but, that's what it reminded me of. So beautiful and sad at the same time. Also, I've been catching up on episodes of American Horror Story: Coven, so don't be surprised if the macabre starts taking over my blog for a bit!
My gorgeous gown covered the chair but it is also a new Boudoir release. That and many others in other prints and designs. It's a reason I love the shop so much. They don't stick to making only clothes, there's enough there to absolutely lose yourself in for awhile!

Gia's gotta get cracking on several more posts so I will see you again soon but I will leave you with this lil note...There is more to be afraid of with the living than those that are dead.

Even In The Desert, There Is Life

{All photos taken at Tableau}

This is a special post for me. Two reasons, one...I've taken too long in between blog posts of Zibska's art and secondly, I was inspired by my own feelings with these photos.

It is to represent and to show that even in the desert there is life, meaning...although things can seem like they're forever going down hill, life can be or seem to be at its worst, there is hope. Maybe you'll have to bust some butt to find that bit of hope and do a bit of soul searching, it's there. 

So hard for many of us to see it or find it, but it finds a way if you allow it. 

Rather than take this gorgeous little outfit to the water as I initially wanted to, I took it somewhere dry and desolate. Because, even in those places, you can find a some form of life. It will find a way. 

This is the outfit Zibska has available at The Instruments. Also available in Blues, Citrus and Smoke. Absolutely breathtaking and delicate in it's design, it is definitely picturesque!

There are many other designers with awesome outfits and accessories participating too so make your way there, it ends the 28th!

Before She Was Cursed, She Was Envied

{Taken at Hazardous}

Although many photos were taken of this outfit/costume/etc...I decided to stop with this one. I had a dress on her first but decided not. Because I find the story of Medusa absolutely intriguing, I decided to do my own little take on it. 

Elska is participating in the Greek Mythology Event and released two gorgeous tattoos. The one on my chest in the photo is called 'The Gorgon" and of course was my inspiration for the photo. The owner of Elska and I seem to have the same idea in mind that Medusa wasn't only a serpent haired woman, she had far more to her than what most envision. 

I know her story in many forms but there is a paragraph in the wiki that says, "In a late version of the Medusa myth, related by the Roman poet Ovid (Metamorphoses 4.770), Medusa was originally a ravishingly beautiful maiden, "the jealous aspiration of many suitors," but because Poseidon had raped her in Athena's temple, the enraged Athena transformed Medusa's beautiful hair to serpents and made her face so terrible to behold that the mere sight of it would turn onlookers to stone."

My ode to a long known character that I have loved since I was a child and met her in 'Clash of the Titans' (the original version of course!).

You might be frightened to look upon her because you don't understand her or the pain she suffered...but don't worry, she will force you to feel her pain and suffering.  "Do Unto Others, What Has Been Done to You..."

My Day as Audrey

 {These top two photos taken in New York City}

Oh what is it about this movie that captures us so?! It has an insane following and has since its release. Audrey is incredibly stunning and charming throughout the movie. Every time I've watched it, I can't seem to take my eyes off of her. From her wardrobe, quirkiness, even her movements and the way she so casually is enjoying a nice cup of java in the morning while enjoying the view window shopping at Tiffany's in the opening scene.

So Dead Dollz...another one of Gia's favorite shops in SL, gave us this little black dress as a group gift and an opportunity to show our stuff  with our best Audrey stylings...how could I resist? An opportunity to finally blog a shop I love AND join a contest!
Yes yes...I promise to blog more Dead Dollz. Pretty soon again actually *winks*.
If you haven't joined the Dead Dollz VIP group....you'll definitely want to! Besides this dress, another little lingerie number was released WITH an appliers HUD, (Wowmeh friendly by the way!)

Happy Father's Day!

{These photos taken at the home of the FK'n King and the Horror Queen-AkA home of Frost and Dizzy Kit!}

With such a special day approaching, I thought I would make a special post for some of the greatest men in our lives. (And for some of us, some of the biggest pains in the ass, and also some of the men that have hurt us the most). I will be honest and say that my relationship with my father was certainly rocky. But if anything, I can give him praise for teaching me what a real man is all about. I can give him praises for teaching me to wait for no man to take care of me or spoil me. Do it yourself and do it how you want...because not all men will be able to do that for you and if you rely on them, you will be setting yourself up for disappointment. As harsh as that sounds, I'm not a man hater! I promise. I know there's...a couple (like 3 or 4 :P) rare ones out there that will love, honor and spoil you as much as they can. 

For those men that stand by their women and their families firmly, that insist on busting their arses to provide for their families, that will make you feel special all the time and not just on holidays...that think you are their best friend and being with you and the family is their 'down time'...so many hugs and smooches to you for being ah-may-zing dads! For the guys that step in for the men that step out and love children as if they were their own, you're amazing! 

For the moms that sadly enough have to take on the role as dad, you also amaze me! And keep your heads up dolls...the right one is there somewhere but in the mean time, enjoy life with the babes. They're the ones that show us 100% unconditional love. 

I love the picturesque days of old where mom is home and anxiously awaiting the return of the hubby from a long day at work. The kids are waiting at the table with smiles and dinner is just being placed on the table. It's my own little happy place and so I recreated it with a modern twist with help from some hawt DRBC new releases! So many prints of this adorable dress but when I saw the new release for Suicide Dollz, the sexeh shoes I have on, I knew which dress had to be used!

The tweed coat that the sexay 'Rhett' is wearing is by Fk! Designs...if you're a dude...make sure to grab one. It's definitely a 'must have' for every man in SL. I find it super versatile. Whether you want to dress it up or make it casual, it works!

Okay okay. Have fun grabbing it all and to all the Daddies out there...

Hey loves! Etchaflesh dropped this awesome lil number on me, and though I could have taken it in many different directions, I saw it as a way to be a lil rebel!

Now, I did tell everybody that I was going to buy this mohawk when I saw it. I fell in love with it right away. I think more mohawks need to be made in SL. We've had many but most are old and not new mesh or made with the fancy shmancy new textures.

Make sure to click on the Etchaflesh link above and stay connected via Facebook to learn of new releases. (and believe me, keep posted because new things are always being released!)

Also make sure to pop in to The Mens Department and snag all of Reckless' tats! They've seriously been blowing me away with the new releases (well, all the time) but the new releases have a darker vibe to them and well, you know Gia! 

Like I said in the previous blog, I have a 10843756892745 ideas floating around in my head right now so I will be back soon!

"Intersection of Technology and Romance..."

Oh, my dearest apologies for not being here to post the 64510449 ideas that have been haunting my mind! Surprisingly enough, bloggers need breaks too. I had a fantasmical week enjoying my RL, that's a good thing. It's like a restart button, also allows for ideas to flow more freely and start fresh. It so breaks my heart to see my fellow bloggers burn themselves out and I don't want to do that to myself either. So thank you all sooo much for being understanding and patient. And....never feel bad about taking breaks from SL. I think too many of us put too much into a virtual life and not enough into our real lives...before you know it, people will exit, people will quit waiting and you won't realize it till it's way too late. SL will always be there, and your true friends in SL will always be understanding. So on to the wardrobe!

Steampunk lifestyle/fashion is just another layer of what makes up me! It is something I have loved since I was a young girl, reading so many novels that touched on it....still, I wasn't quite sure how to explain that part of me to people.

I found a quote that worded it perfectly, “To some, ‘steampunk’ is a catchall term, a concept in search of a visual identity. To me, it’s essentially the intersection of technology and romance. – Jake von Slatt. 

Eudora released some amazing things recently, letting me show off my love for all things Steampunk. Boots and ANOTHER hat...because they did release a hat before but this one is more bomber friendly. I pulled out some of my Steampunk favs from the inventory and came up with this mash-up of greatness! 

Don't worry, I will be back soon....because there seriously have been so many blog ideas poking and prodding at me during my break.

Now head over to all the places and get your Steampunk on!
