After The Fall

{Taken at The Wastelands}

Hey luvs! Told you I would be back soon! Not soon enough, I know. If it were up to me, I would be here daily....nah, not really. That lil break allows for some inspiration to build and that is always a good thing.
I had yet another chance to tap into some of that cyber-ish styling and you know whenever I can do it, I will jump on it!
It's not too often that we see hair creators in Second Life go above and beyond the norm. That is in NO way disrespecting a single one of them, No no no. I love my SL hair stylers! What they do is not easy, at least not to me lol. Just like with clothing though, you get styles that are often similar, gorgeous...but still similar to others. Occasionally though, there's that one...and you all know what I am talking about. That one that stands out. I love .Shi for that! It seems that recently more hair styles have been available from .Shi and I definitely will not complain about that! I hope we get to see a lot more! They're new, fresh, unique, cutting edge.
I love that you can use them, I can use them, he and she can use them! They work for every genre I can imagine and that kind of flexibility is  pretty awesome.
If you click on the .Shi link above, there are some pretty interesting factoids about the owner of the shop. I love getting to know the people in my SL like that. It's inspiring to read about a person who started out in SL and went on to bring creations into RL. I know of several.
Also a lil bit intimidating because her creations in RL and SL are ah-may-zin! So I will have to have my creative hat on to show you allll the things they way they need to be shown! I'm up for a bit of a challenge!
I was able to combine my badass hair style with a tattoo I fell in love with! I missed it last month during the Mens Only Monthly event. It's now out at the main store so check out 7 Prodigy for the rest of the goods!
Of course, I featured a closie of my nails too. I am pretty much always wearing Dark Passions on my nails. The only time I don't credit my nails in my blog posts is when you cant see them but in any case, just know I have Dark Passions on them anyway lol.
Okay luvs, I shall see you again really soon! I hope you've enjoyed the weekend, may all of our Mondays be short and sweet <3

I absolutely love love love our many different cultures! Ever since I was a child, I remember being absolutely infatuated with learning about other cultures, their styles, history...everything, yes I was and am that selfish still. 

Japanese culture is just another one I adore, particularly the Geisha. I won't go into pretending to know every single thing about them, well...they're supposed to be a mystery...right? 

I do know we've warped them into something sexual when they first represented beauty and art. 

Although my Geisha is portrayed as a more sexual type, (hey I couldn't help it, I loved this Kimono and it was an off the shoulder only kinda thing lol) I don't want to misinterpret what they really are and should stand for. 

During my role play years, I even role played a Geisha...an artsy one. It was a great time too. I took my time studying them for awhile so that I could play my role correctly and actually gained a nice following.

Any time that I can, I try to take on a style I don't get to show off that often in my blog. This is just another style that I love so much and added my little touches to it! I won't keep you all too long this time since my last blog must've kept you all busy for awhile! Lol.

I will be back again soon though! That's a promise <3

Chasing Cthulhu

Ahoy Mateys!
Yes yes, Gia had a little break..it was much needed. I don't ever feel the need to announce it here. I guess I just feel secure enough with you all and know that YOU know I will be back soon enough. So far, it's worked for us pretty well. I hope I am finding you all in good health and stuff.
I stated in a previous blog post that I ran into a podcast I love. Not only that, the whole podcast world blew right up for me and since then I've found several. Another one I love is the H.P. Lovecraft podcast. It's basically a couple of dudes talking about the works of, of course, none other than, H.P. Lovecraft. I'm oh...kind of a Lovecraft fan!
Anyway, I was so excited after the podcast that while on break at my RL job, I brought it up and, silly me, I guess I assumed everyone knew Lovecraft! Nope, I just looked like a nerd I guess. nobody knew what I was talking about and so when I went into short descriptions of some of my favorite stories (Of course starting with 'The Call of Cthulhu'!), it sparked a pretty interesting discussion. One of my co-workers blurted out, 'Oh I read romance novels and occasionally a mystery but I don't really read that guy stuff.' .....Excuse me?! What exactly is 'Guy Stuff' when it comes to reading? Can you even label it like that and have it make any kind of sense? I know it was just her ignorance. Surely not all of us women are supposed to read romance novels all day, right?! Please tell me I am right. If that's not the case, well then...I guess I'm a dude! Along with all the rest of the women that love sci-fi? Lovecraft? Whatever she was trying to say. She couldn't really answer me when I did ask her what exactly she meant. She responded with a 'Oh you know, guys mostly read that kind of stuff.' I had to laugh. I informed her I fell in love with Lovecraft and that whole entire genre when I was just a kid. I had siblings that brought me into it but still.
It irritates me that THAT mindset even exists. It honestly has to stop. It's what keeps me from making any kind of friends in RL. It's so very hard to find another woman who I can sit down with and discuss for example Lovecraft, or my love for the horror genre or gaming even! Maybe it's just in my neck of the woods, is it? Do any of you run into this issue in RL or in SL? They like pink, I like black. They like Hallmark Channel, I am horror....etc, etc, etc.  One of the many reasons I love Second Life! It has brought so many of my fellow weirdos close to me and so even though they're not right next door, I do have friends.
So with all thoughts of finding Cthulhu, I set out on a voyage!
Remarkable Oblivion again just always amazes me. Enchantment this round is pretty epic so I hope you've all been out there to snag all the stuff. I know it's hard with all the events going on. Even us as bloggers (at least me, lemme speak for myself here lol) have a hard time keeping up with alllll of these events. I love them though, especially when they are themed. I think it pushes the designers to get creative and I love seeing what they will come up with! Dead Dollz was another fav of mine for this round of Enchantment, Cerberus Xing too! All featured here. I wont hold you any longer though, but will be back soon! <3

Well hello again!

I hope you're all enjoying your week so far. Mine has been a busy one so I just keep repeating to myself that Friday isn't too far behind!

So, I recently got into watching "Sons of Anarchy" but like in a very hardcore kinda way. I watched a few episodes back when and it just didn't catch my attention. Some of my friends kept telling me to try again and so finally after several months I did. Right now, I love it...even though my crush is...no longer a part of the show *SIGH!*. So my new SOA obsession heavily inspired my picture, along with the Reverends song, which I will link below. Of course, DRBC had to show me these sexeh boots, I paired them up with a sexeh jacket from Dark Passions and felt ready to be an 'old lady', as they refer to their women in Sons of Anarchy. These kickass boots come in several different prints and I am sure you will see them again in the blog because, she made latex ones that are to die for! Head over to the DRBC Flickr Pool or DRBC on Facebook to see the other options!

This jacket is a part of the Black Fashion Fair and is only out for 2 more days I think and then it's gone. GONE FOREVER! So run, run now while you have a chance!! (or before she brings it back to the store without the discount lol) There is another plated version as well but Gia likes black and blacker on black so, there's that. 

I fell in love with the skin by AlterEgo. It is currently at Suicide Dollz, which I will also link below. It has a ton of lipstick options, the make up on it is nice and gothy looking and the detail on the skin is gorgeous. Make sure to grab a demo and give it a go!

Okay enough chatter. I have tons to do still and so little time. So much pretties to show though!

Be right back!

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!
