Homage to the Women of Metal

I recently had a conversation with a friend on Facebook about ladies of Symphonic Metal. Although it is a well known genre and loved by many, it is not something I see posted often on Facebook or talked about in general. So when a great band popped up, I was all too willing to jump in on the convo. I also have a good friend on Flickr who made many awesome tributes to Rock Gods...but not one woman was featured. I've never understood why women often get left in the background of the Metal genre in general, when they can rock out just as hard, and just as passionately as any of the men can. There's nothing I find more awesome than a woman on stage singing her heart out, sweating and head banging with the best of them!
Etchaflesh dropped this one on me the other day and although I thought of the many ways I would pose...after that convo, I knew how this had to be done.

This is my homage to the women of metal. Not only the ones that are the singers, but the ones that kick ass on instruments as well! We salute you with horns up babeh!! <3

What you are seeing here my luvies, is one of Gia's all time fav ways to dress! Is she mean, nice, evil, woman, machine, all of the above? Maybe she just likes to sway while listening to some Industrial! 

I felt safe behind my lil mask due to the current outbreak happening in our world. I may have to get one of these in RL! 

My hair is a new badassery of a release from A&Y who has become one of my sponsors! *cheers* So keep it locked right here to see all the new A&Y-ness and see it done just right! It comes in multiple awesome colors or fatpack available. A HUD is included so you can tweak some lil things here and there to color it how you want.

I mashed it up with some FK! Designs and DRBC and mixed it all together and just loved the shoot so much that I couldn't narrow it down to one pick, I had to show it off from every angle. These cute lil skirts come in soooo many different colors and I think I am missing a few still but here are most of them! 

And that aint the only .gif I have for you! Dark Passions released the best nails evar! (Well, not better than my all time fav black tips but close to it!) Although they're bacon nails (*commence lol*), the design on them is purely gorgeous! They're available at the Pier Market so look for the link below and go snag em'!

See you in but a few!!

'Neath the Black the Sky Looks Dead {A6D Special}

 {These photos taken here}

Soooo A6D has started!!! I've been long awaiting this event so I'm going to try and do my best to show you alll the pretties, however, you have about 2 weeks (less, it started the 25th, get to it!) to snag them while they are there. 

"But what is A6D Gia?!" Well...After 6 Days derived from the world's greatest creation - none other than itself. The best creation was completed in Six days. 

There is One exclusive item at the sim and additional discounted item(s) at the participating creators home store. When you purchase an item at the A6D sim, the discount HUD will be included, use it when you head over to their main store to receive your discount on the next item! Not too hard, right?!

"But why so much complications Gia?!" Well, with so many events going on in SL, the main stores are suffering from lack of traffic. So, you can hop over to the A6D sim and then over to the main store, and so...you help solve a lil problem! *pats you on the back*

After the 14 days have passed, the special discounts will expire so don't take too long to snag! 

 Each round has a different theme, the theme for this round is 'Chess'. It's one I love too because of all of the black and white and it seems to be a theme that makes designers really reach into their bowl of creativity and whisk it around a bit. 

So glad Dark Passions had a nail set that so went with the theme. I almost exclusively get my nails did (yes, said it like that on purpose!) by Dark Passions, (in case you haven't noticed) 

I sure hope you all have taken to this lil shop because beyond her extremely detailed and unique themes, this woman spoils, spoils, SPOILS her customers! With the sale going on right now, the design I have on is 5L! Can you believe it?! So make use of that tp I will have linked below and take advantage while she's allowing you to do so, who knows when the spoils might vanish!

Also, N21 has been such an awesome event and I was so proud of Elska for releasing such awesome eyeliner! In my lil .gif below, make note of the nails and eyeliner because I am showing them both off. 

Enuf ramblings from meeee but I will be back soon with more!

This is a recent release by Skindustrial Bodyworks. Although this lil shop can be quiet for awhile, when it makes noise, it goes BOOM!

I absolutely love the unique textures used on this dress. It makes for so many ways to dress it up or dress it down!

I even had different songs playing for each pic, Lowrider for the top one obviously! I've featured Skindustrial Bodyworks in my blog before so I hope by now, many of you have familiarized yourselves with this shop. It really is a one stop place for skin, clothes, accessories and other stuff....and not just any skins, awesome skins, unique skins, RP skins with appliers!

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..."

World Goth Fair {The Final Dance}

{Top Photo taken at Hard Alley}

Oh so hard to say goodbye to an event that I wait alllll year for! Once again I say, we simply don't have enough time to blog all of everything so, I hope everyone took time to browse and enjoy the scenery while shopping for a great cause. The last update given was that we were over $2800 USD raised for SOPHIE. *cheers!* If you were part of World Goth Fair this year, pat yourselves on the back, that is awesome!

I spent the evening there tonight, dancing and having fun with friends and at the same time, being a little sad. I honestly don't like saying goodbye to the event but I know others are soon to follow. I will be anticipating next years World Goth Fair and am excited for it already. 

Showcasing a few more of my favs here. Jewelry, corset, stockings....Head to toe I felt pretty badass in this outfit. My gloves are by Aliza Karu and they don't require Slink hands. It has it's own mesh hand with a HUD for skin and nail adjustments. 

My tattoo is a new release by Elksa for the Hello Sunshine Event! Available in many pastels but there's also a tintable one to change it up to your liking!

See you next year World Goth Fair! I miss you already.

I have another blog ready to drop on you so I will see you again shortly loves! <3

Peek-A-Boo(ty)!!

I have to say that Masumi Max is my all time favorite new age pin up gal. She inspires soooo much of my pin-up style and random cutesy photos. I find her extremely adorable. Her animated facial expressions in her photos and odd poses make her stand out from the rest of the crowd.

Okay so now that I've let my girl crush out of the bag.... Elska is participating in the 100 Block along with sooooo many other designers! I love the 100 Block and anticipate it each round!
These adorbs shorts come in several different prints besides this one I am showing. I love my polka dots though! I know we have like 50000 events going on but you're NOT going to want to miss the 100 Block! Stop by Elska's booth and snag these cute bottoms...but prepare for the butt pinching and random spanks!

Also...The tattoo I have on is one of my all time favs from Reckless and might be a permanent! You can find it at The Mens Department <3

"May the Irish hills caress you...May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you, May the blessing of St. Patrick behold you.." ~Irish Blessing *splashes you in the face with glitter*

Hello dollfaces! It's a joyous month (except for those few days there where it wasn't)! Celebrations are going on all over the place and I am blessed to be a part of it! Someone I love dearly has Irish in their blood and so I make it a point to celebrate the holiday as much as I can. Even before then though, it has always just been a magical little holiday. No, not for the green beer! Just because it is. 

In our Second Life, we have sooooo many events going on! It's hard to keep up with it all and at the same time, you'll find me running around all of them like a kid in the candy shop. 

So the Luck of the Irish Gacha will begin March 12th through the 31st. I am so excited for it! Lots of things to snag. Of course my dear Reckless and Elska are keeping me busy and so I decided to put them together...because Elska and Reckless together are a helluva mashup! Seriously, I blame them both for making me embrace my Phat Azz with their cute leggings. Of the many ways I could have played with these things, I decided to make it magical! Eyes open and alert for Luck of the Irish Gacha and test your luck on these machines!
