Must Be the Season of the Witch!

Hey guys and dolls!
Hope you've all had a great summer and are now absolutely in love with fall (here in the US anyway).
This season is always amazing to me. While everything is dying around us, the leaves and all that falling to the ground, it brings me to life. I am in the highest spirits and wearing a smile that just can't be touched.
There is a magic in the air, a different scent, a different feeling. There are days I walk around outside and let the chill hit me, while the sun is shining down. I close my eyes and let the wind swirl around, tossing my hair about like a romp in the hay with a former lover, I simply cannot get enough! I wish I lived in this forever. ♥

Okay okay, enough about me being squishy with Autumn. How excited are you all about these events though?! This time of year brings some of the BEST events in Second Life! I mean, you have designers competing with each other to see who can be the spookiest of the spooky, and the most witchy of the Witches! And I am A-Okay with that! Here's my cup, dump that spooky shit in and let it overflow!

One of the events I am super excited about is of course, the Season of the Witch event! It's a new one this year with a line-up of some badass creators here in Second Life! What is Season of the Witch? It is a Autumn seasonal event. The theme is dark bohemia, influenced heavily by witchcraft/paganism, the occult and mix in a dash of 1970's glam rock & roll attitude! Aka, me...in all my glory! Think...Stevie Nicks, who I love with all of my being!
Not only the stuff to play grabby hands with, there's also some awesome stuff to keep you busy, check it!

Save the dates luvs & get excited! This is going to be a blast and I will be hopping around there randomly to frolic with the witches & warlocks!

Until then, keep all eyes locked here as I will be showing you all the awesomeness from this event!

Do You Like It? Keep Doing It.

{Taken at Dystopia}

Sometimes I have this thing with blogging, it's almost like an overflow of ideas. I have so many pictures in mind but at the same time...the set up, the outfit, finding the time is always a factor. 

I don't know if any of my fellow bloggers can relate to that. Sometimes by the time I'm even ready to take the picture, someone has blogged something similar and then I will just toss the entire idea out. I know, I know...I've been told many times I should just take the damn picture anyway but I just can't. The worst thing is to be accused of copying someone when you haven't....believe me, I know that from personal experience. There are people I take notes from and by 'take notes', I mean..I try to break down their editing skills and apply them to my own skills that I've already learned. Is that bad? No. I don't think so at least. I myself am all too willing to share any skills I've learned. And just how some blogs love to brag that they don't edit. I brag that I do. I don't edit my sponsored items but if I want to mess with lighting or focus, blur, etc..I have the programs and the tablet to make it happen. It's part of my enjoyment in blogging, we all do it in different ways, as long as you enjoy what you're doing that's all that matters.
Same with my style of clothes. If I like what I am wearing, that's pretty much all that matters. Everyone styles differently. Everyone thinks they look amazing but SL has definitely underlined the 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' saying for me. What you think looks amazing, might look like a big ass mess to me & vice versa. So all you can go by is your own perspective, as I do mine.
My reasons for bringing all of this about is that in one of my groups the other day, I saw a question about blogging and I saw this person being flooded with bad information. I just watched and read, I wasn't about to be lost amongst the others chatting there.
All I really wanted to say was,  1. If you're blogging for an SLebrity status or to get free things, you're wasting your time. While you have one sponsor giving you their newest release, you will realize quickly that you have to buy most things around those few sponsored items. It costs money to blog. It is NOT free. It costs personal time. And that's not all. Wall blogging is awesome but it takes a special skill to stand there and get all the views and favs you want. I think Petra Messiopetra is one of my favorite Flickr bloggers that can stand in front of a wall and make you gawk. There are many more too but she is one of the ones I takes notes from.
2. I As long as you like it, keep doing it. Don't let anyone change it. Don't let other bloggers get you down. We're in an ever rotating blogger world. They come, they go, they rise to the top, they fall. It's how it works. So do it all simply because you enjoy it.
And these are all things I still practice myself mind you. Things I tell myself when discouraged or overwhelmed.  "Do You Like It? Keep Doing It."

Okay okay end rant. This is a late blog as I was super sick the past few days but I'm doing alright now <3 
So I hope everyone has made it to all the events including The Fantasy Collective because there is a ton of badassery there including this hair I am wearing! Reminded me lots of Yolandi so tuuune in like a few secs here <3

Introverts Unite! (Separately...In Our Own Homes)

Wanna know something kind of personal about me? I'm an Introvert and I'm proud! It actually took me a loooong time to say that and understand that it was okay to say that. I was told since I was a young girl that I shouldn't be 'antisocial'. It was wrong, it was bad, it was mean, it wasn't right, etc etc. I met someone not very long ago who laughed when I said I was antisocial. She said, "You are -NOT- antisocial! You're very social. I don't know who ever would tell you that BS but, they're wrong. You may chose to socialize with only a few people, you may be selective about those you socialize with. Being out in public drains you I bet?" I agreed. "Well honey, that's not antisocial, that's Introvert. Entirely different." So I explored this new word and I embraced it and it really helped me. I hadn't realized how upset it made me to think that I couldn't just go out and be a social butterfly like a lot of other people out there can, how much it made me look down on myself because of all the BS that had been drilled in my head about this for so many years.
I understand why I look forward to hanging out with....ME! I understand why when we go out shopping, or friends ask me to go 'hang out' with them, I come back home and feel this exhaustion. Like I have to recharge a battery. I very much value my 'Me' time. I love my small circle of friends and feel no need at all for an abundance of friends. My circle is small and secure and mostly family...but I am very social with them and they will tell you that. Texting, phone, visiting...whatever it may be, they hear from me often.
My pictures reminded me a lot of the real me and so I wanted to reveal that part of me. Funny how much poses can influence everything in my portraits. They breathe life into my pictures. A lot of times, that's why it takes me forever to blog things because...I can't simply stand in front of a wall, I love telling a story. I like you to see my pictures and wonder what exactly is going on. What was she doing, is she doing, or will she do?
My wonderful lil lazy chair is by The Pose Shop and is at Thrift shop in a gacha! It has 4 adjustable poses in it, I just featured my favorite two.

Creepy/Tiki! {DRBC Double Banger!}

It's that time again! I've been having fun doing these exclusively for my DRBC! Dizzy, owner and mastermind of the store, is such a busy lady. So I will have one picture done and then she's got something else ready to blog and I'm still behind so...DRBC Double Bangers make it easy for me to show you a couple outfits, same designer. This is a great one because you can see the diversity available. From one to the next, day and night.
I'm not sure how many more days Erotigacha has left but my top outfit is available there and they're super cute! If you haven't been there to snag it and other goodies, make sure to hit it up before it's gone FOREVER!! ...or before they decide to put it out at their shops, or on the MP lol.
The Charlie dress is one of my favs because of its versatility. It has a HUD so there are many different color options and many different ways to wear this baby! So get to it and show your pics in the DRBC Flickr pool! We wanna see!
Also I have these exceptionally cute nails on and I know, I know you can barely see them in the bottom pic so I will include vendor pics and hopefully sneak in another blog for my Dark Passions soon! Bcreative, owner of Dark Passions has been working her bum off on some awesome nail designs for us creepy girls, and even some clothes! *gasp* I love when she has a sec to make some clothes. Make sure to keep updated on all things Dark Passions and DRBC by following them on Facebook!! Okay okay busy Gia! Eyes here, I got tons more to show!

Just an event that happens to be ah-may-zin on its own.
I had a blast blogging it last year so now this year, with more experience under my sleeve, *pops collar* I had to come back for round two!
The merchant line up and any other questions you might have about the event are listed on the Cursed Events Blog. They do wonderfully on keeping you posted about the event and any happenings in it so make sure to check it out!

"Evil Queens Are the Princesses That Were Never Saved..."

{Taken at Ashes of Dreams}

When I was a young girl, I remember questioning things in stories that would make my teachers smile and give me funny looks, in a good way. One of the things I wondered about was why the evil Queen in the story was evil. I would ask and sometimes they would give me a half-assed explanation but most of the time they would simply say she wasn't the focus of the story. I always wanted to know why she was the way she was, why she did the things she did.

If you're wondering, yes I did/do love Maleficent the movie and loved the Disney character. 

When I took this photo and found this pretty, dark little part of this sim...a dark Queen is what I was reminded of. But I never forget that in Gia's World, the Dark Queens have a reason for being Dark or Evil.

My lovely horns atop my head are by Remarkable Oblivion, available at The Secret Affair and of course they're stunning as usual! They're available in 2 different colors, this dark color and a 'dusk' which would essentially be the ivory tone. You'll want them both believe me! Also resizable. Yours don't have to be as big as mine...I just like mine like that :P

I shall be back soon with more majestic things to show! Shop till you drop luvs!!

A Metal Influence

So by now I am sure everyone has been alll over Rhapsody! Sooo much amazing things! Seriously, I was quite taken back by it all. I'm like 'Okay I love this, no wait I love this too! And this one there and that there!' etc. And while I've heard of Pixicat before...this dress so won me. I love it in so many ways! I had the option to wear plain colors or change the color of the background of my ribcage/veiny design, but this mix is what I loved best. Also the option to remove spikes but...pfft, who would do that?! Spikes and more spikes I say! And I did just that. Pairing it with a set of earrings I love and another Rhapsody goodie, a collar from CerberusXing, AND my L.W. Spiked heels...this seriously has to be one of my favorite outfits.
Everything around me is at Rhapsody too. But you know me, I can't simply place things...life can be full of disarray and so it will be portrayed as such! I love love the furniture options available at Rhapsody! If you're looking to revamp your place, or simply purchase some awesome additions, you don't want to pass up these ones! And the studded skull art, which is available in many color options, is a must have!
The Skinnery is also participating in the event with this awesome skin I am in. Super cute with available eyebrows that I was unsure of at first, then loved!
Milk Hair also surprised me with what seems to be some tweaked textures. Gorgeous style too!
Okay okay, I will be back soon! So much more to show! <3 Oh and, here's a map to help you navigate your way around to snag all the goodies.
Btw...I am an all out Metal Head \m/\m/. Although eclectic, my heart will always be made of Metal!
