The Watchmakers Apprentice

Hello Lords & Ladies!
There's nothing I love more than a Steampunk post! Okay...well, a Goth post too. Okay, okay there's several things I love but anyway as you all know Steampunk is one of the absolute favs!
There's a lil event that just opened recently it's the Mesh Avenue- Sepsteamber Steampunk Event and it runs from the 10th through the 30th so you have some time to go in there and browse around. I know there are several cute things you will love all over and this outfit is one of them! The boots that are available are also so cute. Here's a closie...

I love the detail in these boots. The embroidery is very realistic! Petite Mort is definitely one of the stops you will want to make. Oh and check out the whole sim! It is quite gorgeous with its airships and other little sights to enjoy.

So in case it isn't obvious, I should say that I edited the dress in the top pic to look like it was draped over my knee. Mesh in Second Life isn't friendly enough to work with us like that but I had a picture in mind and I couldn't see it happening it any other way. So there you go!
I have lots to show so I will be seeing you again shortly! <3333

Death Becomes Her {Elder Goth Style}

Well hello!
It hasn't been that long has it? Don't worry, I Have lots of stuff to show. I've been having quite a bit of fun with my SL, the styles...finding all the things I love!
Goth fashion is not new to Gia's World at all. In fact, it is worn often and happily! Those of you that have been residents of Gia's World for quite some time now, don't need to be told that either.
I almost see it like a challenge. With so many events always popping up around SL, there's only but a few that are darker themed ones. Suicide Dollz, Woeful Wednesdays, The Witching Hour. Then of course around Halloween, several pop up so that is usually when all the goths creep out of the coffins and come out to play! Fun times! But back to what I was saying, I almost find it to be a challenge that when I go to these events, the popular ones...Collabor88, Fameshed...Etc, for example, I pic out what things I can use to pair up with my gothy outfits. Sometimes I can luck out and find a few things both most times, I end up gathering stuff for my eclectic taste.
Needless to say, when I see darker stuff pop up randomly, I cheesy grin like a kid in a candy store!
Death Row Designs made this ahhhhh-mazing 15 LI carriage hearse and I... *sigh* fell in love with it! It has a HUD to change the color of the seats and curtains in the hearse and over a 100 poses, single, couple, clean and adult versions...for those girls that get...you know.
It just so happened that my beloved DRBC released this gorgeous gown for Suicide Dollz!
I had no other thought in mind but to pair the two together for a fabulously dark Elder Goth look and I just adore it! DRBC has also released some super cute jackets at Suicide Dollz, you won't want to miss ANY of it!

Hello, Hello, Hello? Is There Anybody In There?

As we step closer and closer to 2015, we see another year gone by, can look at things we left behind, both good and bad. We can smile about them, laugh about them, cry about them and hopefully more than anything, we've learned about it all. 

I love doing my post-apoc photos during the end of the year, I dont know why. Symbolization I guess. I wanted to get in this quickie of a post just to say a thanks to my readers, sponsors, friends. All the people that have silently peeked their heads into Gia's World to see what is going on. I don't care what reason you had to be here, the point is, you were here and I'm okay with that. 

My blog was started as an adventure. One I would take people on with me...an old school SL'er learning her way around this new school stuff and here I am. Sitting in my own lil corner of the SL world in a fantastical Maitreya body that I probably wont remove (until it's time to switch to my Belleza one which I still love). 

I hope this year has treated you all well...as well as possible. Life was never promised to be easy you know. All of us fight different battles and all we can do is be there for each other. I'm not trying to hippie dance around things...I'm just saying, we deal with enough crap everyday, don't be someones reason to deal with more. Appreciate everything, even if you think it's horrid. It's a lesson learned. Appreciate when people leave, they weren't meant to be there. Adore, love and care for the ones that fight for you and stay, they are precious.

I don't know where you are, what you're doing...but I do hope all is well. May this coming year be everything you'd like it to be <3

Luff you all much! ~Gia

"Intersection of Technology and Romance..."

{These photos were taken at New Babbage-Steampunk City}

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!

This round of Suicide Dollz is almost over and another round will be upon us soon with more goodies! I'm so glad The Little Bat is participating in it often now! So these lil dresses are from the creative mind of Ms. Drusilla Deathly. The cute but sinister bunny on the front inspired my photo. Dangerously cute. A reminder to never judge a book by its cover!

My boyfriend said it was "Death Proof meets Kill Bill", both movies I LOVE so I was happy. I also have to credit him with the fire effects. I did all the work but he made sure to critique. And like I told him, "Hey, not everyone is an arsonist!"

I've mentioned a few different events or bi-weekly ones that I love, Suicide Dollz being one but another event I look forward to is fi*Fridays. It is best to not assume what will be there because the designer list is always changing and I am always surprised with new things being offered at such a bargain price. Accessories, shoes, poses, clothing...just a ton of things for you to check out.

AND...Pose Fair is still on but not for too much longer! If you haven't been there, the only thing I can say is you will regret missing the exclusives! Vibe Poses being featured again (and many more times after)
