Resting Witch Face

Hey loves <3
Welcome back to Gia's World! 
Yes, I've missed you, I've missed my blog. I can't seem to find the time to be here as much as I'd like to...such is life. I still make my attempts and still have my thousands of pic ideas that just kinda stay floating around in my head.
Sometimes though, there's that something that snags me from my RL and is like "Focus Gia!". That one thing that is so gorgeous/cute/MUST HAVE NAOW! I will make time, some how, some way.
In this case, it is DRBC that brings me back...Are you surprised? Not at all! You all know my love relationship with DRBC. I ran into a Facebook memory the other day...DRBC and I are going like...3 years strong! One of the longest SL relationships I've had! haha. Oh and Hair Fair. Hair Fair drags me back in each time! I snagged this awesome hair by LCKY. I love love the texture options for LCKY hair! Super cute and definitely snag worthy! Aaaand, it's at Hair Fair which is open! Make your way there and get ready for grabby hands!
These cups come in a variety of badass textures, all to your spooky delight! I LOVE them! I honestly couldn't choose which to blog but...this one got me. Gets me in RL even. I needs it to carry around randomly and only hope that it'll work it's magicks for my introvert heart and keep the people away lol.  I made a lil gif thing so you could see them all.
My cute lil flashing bikini top is by FK Designs. Make sure to grab those all too! It is available in fitted sizes for Maitreya, Slink, and Belleza bodies. Of course my favorite one was the ripped top cuz.."Oh my God! My nipple!" <---Ahaha sorry, inside joke. But yes, it is super sexy and I am sure can be dolled up in SO many ways!
Ok, Ok. (unedited) GIF!

I love all your faces, Hope you are all doing magnificent, feeling magnificent, and kicking ass in SL AND RL!

Hey luvs!

Just had to drop in for another quickie! I wont keep you all long. We've all had a stressful week and a quickie is always a good thing! But it's the weekend so wooooohooo!

So, FK Designs dropped these cutie boots on me a few weeks ago and I looooove them! I know some others released similar ones but these are the best and lemme tell you why. 1) Cuz FK. 2) The bat wings on both sides are ADORBS and 3) Fk kicks ass with textures! The shoelaces look like actual shoelaces and the snozberries taste like snozberries kids!

So over all, the outfit is a smash up of some of my fav designers with of course, DRBC highlighting it. I loves the 'Bitchcraft' on this knot shirt, super cute and very well fitted for Maitreya! I matched it up with the Ouija skirt by Suicidal Unborn and some other fancy shmancy things I just loved. Go play grabby hands and I will meet you RIGHT back here because I have another pic in the works!

<3 you!

It's The Return of the Living Dead!

{Pictures taken at Haunted Silent Peacock Hotel}

 Hello again luvs! I know, I know...do feel free to punish me. I've been away for so long! RL can do that to us sometimes. It just gets super hectic and when all of it piles up, it's just easier to move a few things to the back burner, not forget them, just move them to the back for a lil bit until things get settled. I have been working a lot, and I mean that in SO many more ways than one. Working on me, working on my place, spending time with family, etc. etc. and it all has been rejuvenating for me! I really do feel like I've returned from the "dead". Head is fresh and overflowing with ideas and pictures I've wanted to take so, I am excited! Excited to play around in my Second Life once again while I have some time. 

Now, mind you...that is not to say that I will be back to a regularly scheduled blogging routine. I am simply saying I am enjoying my SL again so some blog posts will be flowing in here and there. Not without some changes though. I will probably cut down on the amount of pictures taken and also get used to some wall blogging to simplify things for myself. Hopefully it won't be too much of a change for you! Hopefully it's a good change <3
Moving on though!
If you've been a part of Gia's World, then you know this is my favorite time of year! Like so many of us Spooky-Boo's, I tend to shine a bit during Autumn. I live for all things spooky, creepy, all that good stuff! So I saw Dizzy, owner of DRBC, post an ad of this super adorbs dress that is all the sexy and spooky mixed into one! One of my favorite combinations. I had to doll it up and show you all. Have you been to visit Retro Rewind yet? I know it's hard to keep caught up with events. After my lil break, I was overwhelmed with trying to play catch up! I will do my best to keep you as updated as I can but one of my favorite places to keep an eye on new events/releases is the Essential Inventory facebook page. 
Make sure to make your way over to Retro Rewind and snag all the DRBC! 

Btw, the sim I was at for the pics was super cute! I think there is a hunt going on there and they do some rp'ing I think...well the skellie guy that was trying to talk to me seemed to be RP'ing lol. Here's some unedited pics I took of the place. There's so much more than this though and a nice maze with some hidden gems for you to run away from :D

I will be back around soon with some of my fav things, especially with all of these Halloween themed events coming up! 
See you again soon luvs!!

Let Me Teach You How to Eat

Hey luvs!
I know, I know. Come punish me. I've been gone so long but like I said in the last posts, it was all for a very good reason. I needed a break from SL to refresh the noggin, I needed to refocus, yadda yadda yadda...you get the point <3
I love that I came back to tons of yumminess though! Right in time for Hair Fair 2016 and everything, my wallet is so pissed at me haha. It's okay though. I actually didn't go all out at this Hair Fair. I bought quite a few, don't get me wrong....I guess I just had my heart set on my vintage hairstyles, maybe that was only me (and Dizzy lol) because I didn't spot a single one there. But I keep seeing sumo bun things -_- but if you like that style, right on!
So I owe DRD a helluva lot of blog posts! Woah talk about busy!  So I am featuring Death Row Designs twice in this post, and I sure wont complain. So much cute! I loved this vintage furniture set. All my fellow vintage collectors are going to want this baby for sure. It is at the Crossroads Event which starts the 3rd of each month. It's featuring styles/things from Apocalypse, Contemporary, Cute, Lust, RolePlay to Vintage! Sounds fun to me! If you haven't already been there to check it out and grab all the things, make sure you do! My super adorbs heels are also by DRD and are at the ULTRA event which runs from July 15th-August 15th. The socks are optional and they're lace mesh. Kinda hard to see in my pic so you're just going to have to go snag your own! I loved them with my catty print dress by none other than....can you guess? DRBC! Of course! This one comes in several prints that you will fall in love with so make sure to click that DRBC link above and check out (and like!) the Facebook page to see all the prints and keep updated on ALL things DRBC! The best spooky lil retro shop in SL <3
Alright my luvs, I am off for now. I've got a few more projects in the works but I am not making any promises. I am starting out slow and easing it in.... (*That's what he said!*) Sorry, couldn't resist!
But hopefully, I will be seeing you oh so very soon with some more awesome thangs these people are creating!
Till then, keep it spooky <3

Just A Lil Witchy

{Taken at Netherworld}

Hey guys and dolls! Hope you all enjoyed the weekend and are ready to kick off a new week. 

This blog post is pretty special to me, lemme tell you why. My love for DRBC is no secret to the residents of Gia's World. When I walked into the place upon my return to SL a few years ago, I fell in love with its originality and quality....and then I met the owner who is now someone close to my heart. So, am I bias? Hell yes. There, I admit it. It's official. Take a picture, make a stamp. Now, the owner (Dizzy) is learning to mesh! I, for one, am super excited about it because...I've seen such amazing things from her already and when the possibilities are limitless, I think we're going to be blown away. The first all original DRBC mesh release is out and though it is small, it is precious! All my witchy friends will agree that it is another gem that belongs on you at all times. It is customized for Slink, but as you can see, I am wearing it on Maitreya hands and it was a quick and easy adjustment. It also has a HUD so you can play with color options. Just a heads up, this ring will remain on me, you'll remember, 'ah yeah, that's why Gia wears that ring all the time..'!
My cuuuuute shoes are by none other than FK Designs who has actually dropped a few new releases! I am just forever trying to catch up with these people lol. But make sure you head over to the FK Designs official Facebook Page to keep updated on all the thangs! The clown shoes are a new FK release you will want too!

I found this gem of a sim on Explore Second Life. A lot of bloggers have been there, especially on this train track so...don't be surprised if you see a lot of us here lol. It's an all around gorgeous sim. Tons of little corners, cozy ones, to take pics in, hang out or snuggle, or hang out and snuggle!

Alright loves. Lots to catch up on. I will be around again soon, until then, go show my girl some love and snag the very first all original DRBC mesh ring in all of its witchy gorgeousness!

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

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

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

Real life still has me super busy right now but my blog is always on my mind. I can be at work, thankfully we're allowed to use Ipods, so I will have my music on and it brings to mind so many pics I would love to take for the blog or even just for Flickr. So you're all never far from my thoughts, just so you know! 

As all residents of Gia's World know, I can never get enough of DRBC! This little outfit was released for Erotigacha. I was away during that time so I didn't have a chance to show it off but it couldn't sit there without recognition in Gia's World! I know a lot of you would love it as much as I did. There are several different print options available that you will definitely want!
Whenever I can flaunt my 'Witchy' wardrobe in SL or in RL, I am all for it and this is surely one you will want in your collection too.
I can't keep you all long today. Actually, I've already edited another picture and have another outfit on....I'm getting backed up here lol. So I will be back soon. The weekend is right around the corner! *Cheers!*

Hey guys and dolls! 

I hope I am finding you all in good spirits. The weekend approaches soon. I should be happy about it but I can't be lol. I've had the week off, (not by choice!) and will be returning to work Monday. The days off have been nice though and much needed in so many ways. I've been sick and simply needed the rest so I am thankful to have had these few days to spend at home. It also gave me a few more chances to pop in SL and enjoy all the shopping, events, and visits with the people I adore. 

Speaking of people I adore, DRBC recently released this adorbs dress that I knew a lot of my readers would just fall in love with! This is one of my favorite prints but she made a plethora of them, so you have a ton of options, polka dots galore and a Hello Sailor! one that is to die for! Make sure you follow DRBC (as linked above) on Facebook for updates on recent releases.

I couldn't help but take advantage of someones ride parked outside of the new Hard Alley Club! That's right, Hard Alleys Retroville has moved sims! So make sure to pop over and visit. The club is active with some pretty awesome DJ's! The music ranges from punk to rock to...just everything! The company is great and  oh yeah....I hang out there so that's a bonus right?! Come over and get down with us sometime!

Summoning Spirits, Snuggling Cats

Hey guys and dolls! Welcome to another day in Gia's World. I hope you're all doing well, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

This is a month where I just embrace all my introvert and I look forward to my weekends of snuggling and warm drinks. You know, a nice 'Netflix and chill'. BTW...oh my goodness, did you know that phrase there, 'Netflix and chill' means something sexual?! I didn't. Out of sheer boredom, I looked it up and guess what, it means to invite someone over and...basically have sex while Netflix is going in the background. I don't get people these days haha. I am known to turn even the most innocent things into something pervy but that is just random. I don't mean random in a good way either...I more so mean that it doesn't make any damn sense. Be creative. And they ruined it for the rest of us that actually just want to chill while watching Netflix damn it! I guess this is where my age starts showing. Damn kids and their ridiculousness! Lol-
Speaking of, I devoured 'Ghost Adventures' on Netflix. I love it. I mean, I know the guys are silly but that's what makes the show for me. Who doesn't love Spooky with a side of Silly? It reminded me just how much I am in love with all things paranormal. Paranormal everything has been taking over my days lately so, pre warning...be prepared for future pics that may be inspired by my love for the paranormal!
But anyway, there are many things I love about The Pose Shop but one of the main things is that she surely can capture a realistic cozy pose and bring it into our SL. I so love my poses! I hope you've had a chance to check out the Sad November event. If you have, I hope you stopped at The Pose Shop's booth and snagged these adorbs poses!! This is a Sad November Exclusive so once it's going you're never going to see it again EVAR! Lol dramatics. Just go get it. You will love the snugs.
My DRBC top went right with my creepy but cute vibe here. That is DRBC though! Creepy and Cute! This top is on the market place only right now. To my 'goths' and darker people, this is a great addition for your fall wardrobe! With its attached sweater, and the many different prints, you will want this one around!
I will see you all again in just a bit, I've already got a pic going and I am super excited for it but in the mean time, yes, snuggle all the kitties with me! <3

Thanks to my Kuppy for letting me use her crib!

Halloween Is Everyday - Gia's World LoTD

{Taken at Saint Pete City}

I am seriously amazed at how fast time goes by. I swear I just posted the other day. This is what happens in the life of a very busy woman! So many pictures floating around in my head, ideas, outfits...and sometimes I feel like I actually did blog it when in fact, nope...it was only a thought. 

Halloween in just a few days and in the spirit of it all, I have been enjoying a podcast. I am new to the podcast world and maybe I shouldn't have crossed over because I am hooked! So a friend suggested I listen to Darkness Radio, have any of you listened in? It's paranormal talk radio. I simply cannot get enough of it. There is nothing I love more than some spooky with a side serving of goofy! I've already caught up with them since their September podcasts haha. They need to get to work. I work full time, that means they have to entertain me for 8 hours! 

So yeah, besides scary movies and stuff, I've been enjoying my spookiness via podcast too. 

I have a LoTD kinda post going on today. I thought it was pretty appropriate attire for us 'gothy' or 'nu goth' lovers during this time of year. It is still a lil warm (depending where you live!) but can get nice and breezy, maybe a bit too breezy so you'll want a sweater nearby. 

I gathered some of my faves and a new DRBC release for this adorbs look. I hope you all are having a fab week! Go listen to the podcasts, go play grabby hands at Suicide Dollz for this awesome top that comes in multiple prints! Then get your butts right back here to Gia's World. I've got some more stuff and thangs to share <3

Gone A Bit Batty

{Taken at Ironwood Hills}

Hello my lovelies! It's the weekend! Let us rejoice! The long work weeks make the weekend that much sweeter. 

So Halloween is officially 8 days away! I swear this month just flies by so fast! If there's ever a time when I can relate just a lil to being bipolar, it's during October. You get that high in the beginning of the month. All the sweet smells of Autumn that start in September are only intensified and it is so intoxicating! As the end of the month comes (so damn quickly!) the high just drops and it is upsetting. We need a pause button in life. Someone get on that!  

In other news though!

There's a little event going on in Second Life called 'The Truth About Bats & Avies' brought to you by SL Goth. Several designers from SL have gathered together in an effort to bring awareness of the rapid decline in the bat population, white nose syndrome, and other things threatening their existence. Proceeds from the event will benefit Bat World Sanctuary which is the only accredited bat sanctuary in the world. How I admire that there are people like that in this world. If only I were a rich woman. I bought things from this event with a smile because it's for a great cause and because there's so much awesomeness there. Other designers include: Spellbound, Sn@tch, The Little Bat, Livid, and More! Make sure to check it out!

I couldn't think of a better brand to be there to support the bats than DRBC. In case you haven't had a chance to get up close and personal (woohoo!) with Ms. Dizzy, owner of DRBC, she is an absolute lover of bats! And I don't mean using them as a cute lil print on clothing (although she does that so well too!) I mean she just simply thinks they're adorbs! So it is no surprise to me to see DRBC there with a gorgeous batty dress! The dress is called 'Vampira' and it so reminded me of Vampira. 

The quest to look like Vampira in SL I thought would be a simple one but it wasn't. Just so you know SL hair creators...there is no Vampira hair in SL! We (I had Dizzy helping me look for hair lol) scoured SL for hair similar to Vampira's. My requirements were the center part and the hairline and if possible, I wanted the vintage curls at the bottom. Nothing was found. Not.Ever! Spellbound had the closest thing that I wanted. The hairline was there because you're originally supposed to wear barrettes with it. The bottom of my hair is edited in the top pic to curl under. Originally, it hangs a bit straighter. 

Dark Passions Koffin Nails is also participating in the event with some adorbs batty nail appliers for Slink, Maitreya and Belleza. I even included a closie for them, I loved them that much <3

Go grab all the thangs! Have a spooktacular weekend! I will see you all again very soon! Make sure to follow Gia's World on Facebook too! I am all over the place. Plurk, Twitter, Flickr

Sugar & Spice {Lolita Fashion}

Hey dolls!
So I had a chance to get my hands on something I don't usually do, or haven't done in a long while I should say! Way back in my first SL days, I loved wearing the Gothy Lolita look and then I became selfish with allll the looks! So I had a blast with this outfit.
Although this isn't a style for everyone, it's a style I find to be super cute! There are so many ways to enjoy it too. With  just a switch up of hair colors and lip gloss, I made it all cutesy but it wouldn't have been hard at all to spin this into a Goth Lolita look instead of Sweet Lolita.
The newly released dresses by DRBC made it quite easy for me! With so many options, I was so undecided on which to play with first! It ranges from Sweet to Goth with an option to even go Classic Lolita so play with allll of them. For my fellow lovers of this fashion, you will want these in ever print, yes they ARE that much fun!
My incredibly gorgeous shoes are by the awesome FK Designs. These are also available in a plethora of prints for you to mix and match to your lil hearts content. These are for Slink High feet and also come with a Belleza high feet pair too. My dear Belleza, which I am finding myself wearing more and more!
I will be back around soon with more stuff and things, until then, take care and chop, chop....I mean, shop, shop, shop! <3

"Everyone You Meet Is Fighting A Battle You Know Nothing About..."

After my little break from SL, I came back to some upsetting news. Not about me, not even about someone I know personally, but about a person we all recognize in name and work. You've probably worn her work and not even realized it! Owner of AngelRed Couture, 3D mesh creator Lexi Zelin as we know her in world, Heather Crawford in real life was recently diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin's Lymphoma (cancer).
I can't even imagine what she is going through...but I do know we can all do our little part to help. Because Second Life is a virtual world, I think we often forget that there are real people behind that avatar. We are a society all our own. We have our community, we have each other. This is a time to let that really shine. A time to embrace one of our own while she's dealing with this. A time to not only help her and her family, but also a time to show just how much we are capable of loving and caring.
Like I said, I don't know her personally (although I would totally chat it up with her!), but I do know we're both mothers, we're both hard working women...and all of us agree that Cancer needs a damn beat down! It has long since been on my wishlist to see a cure for Cancer. Nobody should have to deal with it, nobody should be made to walk it alone.
So The Lexi Project was created in world as a means for all of us to do our part in helping Lexi. I know a lot of us don't have tons of money but what needs to be remembered here is that there are a LOT of us, and every little bit can amount to a whole lot if we all take a moment to visit and have fun snagging the goodies because 100% of the proceeds go directly to Lexi!
There are over 375 designers (and more being added still!) that are participating so, I know everyone can find something. I saw some of my all time favs there. DRBC, Dark Passions, Deadpool, CX, Maxi Gossamer, The Little Bat, Razor, Belleza, Dirty Stories, Speakeasy....the list is just awesome! I love that so many designers are participating in this.

Although I could have done this picture in so many ways, I decided to go with a fighter. Those that have beat cancer are exactly that, fighters, some of the best! I know Lexi will do just that.

Personal note: I wanted to say that although we don't know each other...mother to mother, I already know you're strong. Moms were built tough. You are being thought of and you are loved! Don't just beat it, knock it the f<3k out!

So What If It's Hot Out, I'll Still Be Wearing Black!

{Taken at Dead End City RP Sim}

Hello luvs, did you miss me?! I missed blogging but the break was severely needed. It's just something that happens. Not only to bloggers but everyone in SL. Real life steps in and is over demanding. There is really nothing you can do about it. I am not going to go into my innermost personal issues with you but I will say that it's not only RL work that is exhausting me, just a lot of alllll the thangs! I wish I could continue functioning without any of it getting in the way but that's just not how I am wired. So there is your answer as to why I haven't blogged every day. Plus, blogging for me has always simply been my creative outlet. A way for me to show off some of my favorite fashion designers and all my other fav things in SL. It was never about anything else. So when it became too demanding, I had to reassess it all. I love my sponsors btw. They have always been some of the most supportive and understanding people on the grid. I'd rather be without a sponsor than have anyone think I am just getting everything for free. I am certainly not. Hopefully I will be able to get in more blogging time now though. So anyway, onto other things!

Summer is here and holy hellballs it has been HOT! I live in one of the colder states in the US and even here we're in the 80's. Now for some of you I am sure that is ideal but for those of us thick blooded people who can't stand the heat...this is hellish. Plus humidity, eww!

Still, there isn't a day that goes by that I am not wearing my black clothes. The only other color I have is a dark purple haha. So many people will come and tell me they don't know how I can wear black in this weather but...how could I not? It's my favorite color to wear and anyway...I don't feel much of a difference wearing anything else. Maybe that's just me. 

This fashion I am so enjoying in SL has made it's way into my RL. I have done my fair share of leg work looking for places online or in my surrounding area that sell clothing similar to this and I am starting to completely overhaul my wardrobe. That's been long overdue anyway!

Needless to say, when DRBC dropped this one, I was on it! This is NOT the only print that this awesome cardi comes in either! Make sure to head over to the DRBC Facebook Page, click LIKE and make sure to check out the other kickass prints this Cardi comes in. I honestly had a hard time picking which I wanted to blog. Hell you may see the others here too haha. Anyway, enough of me being chatty Gia! I will hopefully see you all again in a bit here! *le MUAHs!*
