Feeling Very "Mrs. Mia Wallace"

Hey luvs!
I'm back-ish. I include the 'ish' because, as I posted on the official "Gia's World" Facebook page, my computer has not been playing nice with me when it comes to taking pics in SL. I really had to mess with my settings to take these pics. They're a lot smaller than usual but I had to make adjustments in order to do what I have to do. Otherwise, I was dealing with a very crash happy computer and in the blogger world, that is a serious pain in the ass! Okay so imagine it. I have the outfit on, I finally found the pose, I finally found a location that matched what I had in mind, I made any adjustments to the pose, I finally found a windlight, I prepare to shoot the pic, posed-angled-snap! CRASH. Rinse, wash, and repeat. It was just continuous and driving me up the darn wall. So I made the adjustments which should keep me happy and functioning for now until I get my new computer parts in. I am excited for them.
I had to do a quickie to show off the new Glam Affair skin at Skin Fair, which I know darn well by now, the lot of you have bum rushed it and snagged all the things!
I was feeling very 'Mia Wallace' in this outfit so I really let her free spirit inspire me.
If I haven't declared it before, let me just say it now, I LOVE LOVE me some Quentin! I think he's a genius on film. I loved his movies since before I actually knew they were Quentin movies. Pulp Fiction of course, is one of my all time favs. Also Deathproof, Dusk Til' Dawn, Four Rooms, we'll be here forever...just all of his stuff!
I wont keep you for long today. I have a ton to catch up on and still not too certain about this PC but I am being impatient.
Love you all a ton! See you again shortly, hopefully....if not, then you know my PC exploded with all the tinkering lol <3

Soooo many events, so little time! One of the events that recently opened is the Mesh Body Addicts Fair which runs from August 1st-21st. I think a lot of us are just that, mesh body addicts. If you love your mesh bodies, don't miss out!

My favorite lil nail designer ever is there of course! Dark Passions never fails in creating some of the most interesting, unique and gorgeous nail designs on the grid. I love dressing myself up from head to toe so, it's a big deal for me to be so precise. One of the exclusives for the event is the butterfly design featured above. How funny that this lil nail design inspired the ENTIRE picture! 

None better to feature with this than Petite Mort. This adorbs lil jumper is the exclusive at The Aloha Fair right now. This event runs until August 10th, you have a few days left to go check it out. This was easy to wear with my Maitreya which is a must! haha I can't abandon my Maitreya evar. 

Work week is already here again but looking forward to getting in some more posts soon!

Until then, go play grabby hands and have an excellent week! *smoooochers!*

"I Will Only Complicate You, Trust In Me And Fall As Well.."

I am SO sorry for my delay. My power supply decided to basically give me the middle finger just as I was having so much fun with Saviad and Pose Fair and alll the other things! Even though I ordered one the same night, it still took alll the way until today to arrive. While I was waiting though, I think I got hooked on a lil show called 'Sons of Anarchy'. Done with season 1 already and it's kinda awesome! Don't be surprised if biker pics start popping up all over the damn place in Gia's World!
So I am tossing in a quickie here that I had finished right before my power supply passed away. The awesome chair I am about to fall off of is by Infiniti, another ah-may-zin pose maker in SL. If you're not familiar with Infiniti, you definitely should be. I love the many different poses included in the chair and the many different ways you can play with it. Drama, sexy and everything else! This was just my lil spin on it. Thankfully, TfAtN sent me some purdy thangs to play with from the 'Create your own Tarot' event. “Create your own Tarot” is a series of Secondlife events exploring one theme of the Major Arcana cards in each month. Last months was 'The Fool' and this months is 'The Magician'. So clearly I didn't stay in theme, or maybe I did. Never can tell!
Okay, get to shoppin'! I have to play catch up <3

Drown {Skin Fair 2015}

 {Taken here}

I've wanted to do a picture like this for awhile so I am glad the Plastik made the perfect creepy like skin to make this happen! 

Ugh, I simply can't say enough good things about the Plastik. Vae, owner of the shop, has always been super awesome when it comes to creativity and detail with her skins. There simply are none other like this at the Skin Fair so of course you know I am going to feature it! 

It comes in several different shades which I will show you below, and allll of the appliers, it also includes a slink nail applier for each shade of skin. Making your nails match right up with your skin tone easily. Eyes are available as well and don't forget to snag her gift that is there. Super awesome slink polish set. 

This skin is a MUST HAVE for my fellow goths, roleplayers, fantasy lovers, all around dark personalities! Go try the demos, you will not be disappointed! 

Although I had fun making my picture pretty, I don't mess with the skin itself in my pictures. I do fix the shape of my lips and nose if I HAVE to, because I hate when SL windlights make them look funky. That shouldn't be blamed on the skin creator. I used a high pass filter over this pic in order to let the veins in the skin be more visible, as the lighting I used kind of lightened it all up. 

However...the different shades featured below are unedited so if you wanna nitpick, have at it there! You will get what you see in any case! <3 

 

Okay, go play grabby and I will see you again soon!!

I have a TON of things to show you! So I am not going to chat your ears off (even though I know you guys missed me long time!). 

The Gathering has opened and DRD has these awesome little fairy outfits in a gacha! Every single color set is awesome in its own way. The wings are gorgeous and the fit of the mesh pieces, top, bottom, stockings are perfect, shapely and adorable! Seriously, I told my friends I might not ever take the stockings off! (that means for like a couple days or so lol)

If you haven't been there, make sure to head over and see what you can see plus snag the DRD goodies. See you again soon luvs! Make sure to hit my Plurk on the right side of my blog to keep connected with me and look for the newly made Gia's World on facebook to keep posted there!

Back in a few!

Even In The Desert, There Is Life

{All photos taken at Tableau}

This is a special post for me. Two reasons, one...I've taken too long in between blog posts of Zibska's art and secondly, I was inspired by my own feelings with these photos.

It is to represent and to show that even in the desert there is life, meaning...although things can seem like they're forever going down hill, life can be or seem to be at its worst, there is hope. Maybe you'll have to bust some butt to find that bit of hope and do a bit of soul searching, it's there. 

So hard for many of us to see it or find it, but it finds a way if you allow it. 

Rather than take this gorgeous little outfit to the water as I initially wanted to, I took it somewhere dry and desolate. Because, even in those places, you can find a some form of life. It will find a way. 

This is the outfit Zibska has available at The Instruments. Also available in Blues, Citrus and Smoke. Absolutely breathtaking and delicate in it's design, it is definitely picturesque!

There are many other designers with awesome outfits and accessories participating too so make your way there, it ends the 28th!

"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!

All I Have to Do Is Dream...{Pose Fair 2014}

{Taken at Mystara}

Hello luvs! I hope everyone has had a chance to make it into Pose Fair! If you haven't, don't worry! It doesn't end till May 3rd so, you still have a bit to get in there and get what you want but you don't have forever! I was quite taken back by the set up and maybe overwhelmed at first but navigating it is quite easy. However, I will try to provide you all with direct TP's to the shops I am going to be showcasing.
In the theme of all things 'Spring', I found this pose/prop to be very adorable. This prop actually includes 15 different poses (these are just the ones I loved the most!) Also only 5 land impact. So pose for a photo or keep it in your place because it is adorbs! Either way, win win! The extra little floating cloud near me is also included

When I saw Sn@tch's new releases...I knew this Babydoll top was the one to use here! So many cute new Sn@tch releases! Maybe you are supposed to wear leggings with it...I'm sure you can but I chose not to! Actually...note here: wear panties at least! floating up in the air and realizing you don't have undies on can be quite a :o moment.

Be back in a few with more poses and more awesomeness! <3
