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

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

The Reading

{Taken Here}

Just had to get in a post for my Dark Passion...or Dark Passions because I have simply been blown away with the awesomeness emanating from there! As I am sure a lot of you have noticed, Dark Passions has tapped into the Pastel Goth, Creepy Cute...whatever you'd like to call it. Though my preference for the 'gothy' side tends to be more black/bats/Victorian-esque and I didn't think I would be able to go there with this part of the Nu-Goth stuff, I am kinda liking it!

This outfit definitely made its staple amongst my favs and will stay in my virtual closet for future and continuous use from now on! So I hope you all too will make note and come shopping with me to grab these goodies!

Also, check out my boots though! Lindsey Warwick has long since been one of my favorite shoe designers in Second Life. The quality of her shoes NEVER ever ceases to amaze me. Like, this boot makes me want to reach in the screen to rub my thumb on it and hear the squeaking noise! They're not released yet so prepare thine grabby hands (a lil birdy says next week maybe!) and get ready to snag them all in all the colors. AND!!! They're on my Maitreya bodyyyy!

I've currently been in love with this Skinnery skin so prepare for it to be blogged several thousand times! And prepare to see these boots yet again in the all too close future! <3

See you all again soon!

"Evil Queens Are the Princesses That Were Never Saved..."

{Taken at Ashes of Dreams}

When I was a young girl, I remember questioning things in stories that would make my teachers smile and give me funny looks, in a good way. One of the things I wondered about was why the evil Queen in the story was evil. I would ask and sometimes they would give me a half-assed explanation but most of the time they would simply say she wasn't the focus of the story. I always wanted to know why she was the way she was, why she did the things she did.

If you're wondering, yes I did/do love Maleficent the movie and loved the Disney character. 

When I took this photo and found this pretty, dark little part of this sim...a dark Queen is what I was reminded of. But I never forget that in Gia's World, the Dark Queens have a reason for being Dark or Evil.

My lovely horns atop my head are by Remarkable Oblivion, available at The Secret Affair and of course they're stunning as usual! They're available in 2 different colors, this dark color and a 'dusk' which would essentially be the ivory tone. You'll want them both believe me! Also resizable. Yours don't have to be as big as mine...I just like mine like that :P

I shall be back soon with more majestic things to show! Shop till you drop luvs!!

You're Beautiful And Sick Like Me

{These Photos Taken at Neva River}

Oh so sorry my blog posts are far and few in between. It is the holidays though. But even so...just busy, busy, busy! Too many things to do and not enough Gia's! I know I promised to shorten it down to like one pic but man, I blame Maria Brink for it though. I had that 'Sick Like Me' song stuck in my head foreverrrrr and so I just ran with it and let it inspire my post.

I hope you've all had a chance to make your way to Gothmas by Gaslight. I am wearing Sakide in black, although this outfit is at Gothmas by Gaslight in white as well and just as stunning! It also comes with its own set of heels though I wanted something a lil more risque so I went with something several feet higher! Hah. I had the dress on in white first but felt very out of place so I went back to my comfort zone <3

Christmas is right around the corner and I am hoping I can get in a post this year! *crosses fingers*

So I will keep this short and let you go snag the goodies at Gothmas by Gaslight! See you soon loves! Enjoy the pics and if by chance I dont get to post before Christmas, I hope those of you that celebrate it have a great one! For those of you that don't celebrate it, I hope you're at least enjoying the day off lol. Love you guys long time! Be back soon! <3

I'll Be Waiting For the End of My Broken Heart

{These Photos Taken at Pigeon Island}

Can I talk to you all as friends? Can I pretend that we're close...that we've been friends for years and I am writing you a letter? In the past few weeks, months...I've not been too honest with you. I've told you real life has kept me busy and I didn't go in depth with it and I don't really want to. I know you have your problems and I am but another person, I don't want to burden you...but I wanted to let you know I am dealing with a lot. Physically, mentally, emotionally. Winter is never the best time to be around me anyway. Maybe it's this place I live in, the lack of Vitamin D is real! Lol. Don't worry though I am taking massive supplements!

With everything going on, blogging has been so hard for me to do. Not for lack of anything, the images in my head are never lacking. If I could grab the images right out of my head, I'd have over a hundred blog posts a day! But being real in my posts has been a struggle and I want to always be that. I want to be just the same Gia that I was the day I posted Ms. Zombcakes for the world to see! But the Gia in front of you right now is a broken one and so that is what I am giving you. So I will try to be honest with you from now on, and maybe my pictures might seem odd or sad but if they are, know that I am allowing you a glimpse into my head and feel free to share hugs. <3 So moving on...

Sn@tch I love you so! For years I have followed this shop and Ivey (owner of Sn@tch) never seems to let me down. Constant new releases at such great prices, snaggables, fishing at the mainstore and of course the riot boards that we all love! And if you meet a newbie, make sure to send them there! She's got a killer packet that often tempts me to make a new avi randomly lol.

Avi Choice Awards voting has started and I was so surprised when a notecard was sent to me, informing me that I was nominated. Honestly I checked to see if it was a mistake or something. I don't know how that happened but to place me amongst some of the bloggers that I admire most for their talent and photography skills, I've already won. I'm just little Gia amongst a sea of bloggers, having fun showcasing some of my favs and talking about randomness so for someone to notice what I'm doing...I'm just beyond words. I am there, Sn@tch is there right along with so many others, so make sure to head over and vote for some of your favs. It's not like it's a trophy or anything...but like I always say, a smile is a smile, in real life or in SL! That smile is worth more than anything!
Vote right here!! ---->http://avichoiceawards.com/fashion-awards-vote-here/

Now look at my dress cuz it's damn gawgeous! Had to show off a bit o' Sn@tch in my blog every now and then <3 Comes in many sizes, comes in many colors, the dress that is lol. Definitely snag worthy!

Ladies & Gentlemen, Children of all Ages! Welcome to the Freak Show!

{These Photos Taken at Karneval Der Toten}

Before I go into the badassery I am wearing, lemme share my little adventure. I had ONE picture in mind for this outfit, that's all. So I was in search for the aerial hoop by Catnip....but Catnip is closed in world! *le sob* So I was looking all over the marketplace, went through it a few times because I was sure I had just looked over it or something but...NOTHING! And so I had finally let go of the search and was going to go with my last resort, a trapeze. But I took a chance and teleported to one last carnival themed sim and low and behold, right before my eyes in the perfect bloodied tent was the exact hoop I was in search of all morning!! I did a lil jig in my chair in celebration. Thanks so much to Cin, Trent & Krys for being super inviting, friendly and making a awesomely demented little sim to play in. I see many more blog pics being taken here! Make sure to pop in and pay them a visit! (Slurl linked right under my pics)

It's obvious my photos were strongly influenced by the upcoming American Horror Story: Freak Show which airs tomorrow! I'm SO excited! I have to be thankful right off the bat to my good friends Dizzy and Anika. They were taking no arguments and forced me to catch up with them, as Coven was already at its end by the time I got into this show. Let me tell you...if you're like me, and didn't get into it after the first episode of season 1...try it again. Force yourself to make it through at least the first 3-4 episodes and then give your opinion. The show is amazing! I'm so excited for what lies in store for us this season. I expect only the best!

I am wearing amazingness from head to toe. Everything I have on is snag worthy to the utmost level! My top hat is by Swagga and a piece of art is what it is. It comes with a HUD so can be this shade of black, white or brown. Corset by my hearts fav, DRBC and many more of these corsets in a multitude of prints are available at Suicide Dollz right now! The collar is by FK! Designs and was a perfect addition for my freakyness with its Cthulhu emblem. The skin was basically a freebie! I say basically because it's a group gift and the group wasn't free but is NOT expensive. It came with appliers and was perfect for my creepy lil heart. I will be using it again soon that's for sure. 

Okay okay...I have tons to show you with Vintage & Cool around the corner and yep, I'm blogging it!

See you soon and make sure to attend the Freak Show tomorrow!

"I Take My Time And I Always Win.." (Breaking Bad Spoiler Alert!)

{These Photos Taken at The Wastelands-Brookland Northyard}

Alright, alright...I know this photo probably has so many of you thrown off. Like, "Why oh why did Gia pose all purdy next to a head on a turtle?!" I have two words for you...Breaking Bad.

If you're a fan, then you know exactly why the turtle has a severed head on it (although it was a tortoise I think lol) and why it says what it does on that turtle. If you don't watch Breaking Bad then I am sorry...that you've chose to miss out on an incredibly awesome show with an amazing story line and top notch acting.

If you've just recently decided to watch it, look away! I hope I didn't spoil that lil bit of the story line for you. 

But ANYWAY! When Dead Dollz dropped this on me in a package called 'The Heisenberg Collection', I chose this dress first. All of the dresses are amazing but this one simply caught the eye (and well the name of course). You -cannot- hand Gia something with that title on the package and a dress named 'Tortuga' without seeing a bit of gore in the pic. The dress cut and style are so simple but so elegant, giving it a ton of dress up options and even making it comfortable enough for me to just kick off my heels and prance around like so. 

The awesome head on the Turtle is by 'Swagga' and is at the Level Up event this round in all its gorey glory! The theme for that event is 'Survival Horror' and I loved it! This head is animated with different pose options that will make you giggle...or vomit, either way, fun stuff!

My jewelry is by the ever amazing RealEvil Industries which seem to continuously be making things that I can put to use. This set is at the Jewelry Fair too along with their other awesome creations for that event. 

Coming back around soon with more goodies!

Just Got Wicked

This round of We <3 RP is open and I think (personally of course) Arcadia steals the round! There were many things that caught my eye and I snagged a good few (including the bracers I am wearing! Go go Random Matter with your bad self!) So many different storylines that came at me with this dress. I thought of an assassin type photo and then I wanted a demonic photo and then I decided to dig back in my roots and lift my hands to the moon! But I had to show you some more awesomeness from Twisted Hunt Fall. The bottom photo pose and demonic conjuring circle are separate prizes that work together. You'll want to snag them both!
Although this dress comes in a variety of colors, this so happened to be my favorite. The hood conceals part of your face and makes for a very ominous looking character. Don't miss this one at We <3 RP!!

'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!

Hey loves! Etchaflesh dropped this awesome lil number on me, and though I could have taken it in many different directions, I saw it as a way to be a lil rebel!

Now, I did tell everybody that I was going to buy this mohawk when I saw it. I fell in love with it right away. I think more mohawks need to be made in SL. We've had many but most are old and not new mesh or made with the fancy shmancy new textures.

Make sure to click on the Etchaflesh link above and stay connected via Facebook to learn of new releases. (and believe me, keep posted because new things are always being released!)

Also make sure to pop in to The Mens Department and snag all of Reckless' tats! They've seriously been blowing me away with the new releases (well, all the time) but the new releases have a darker vibe to them and well, you know Gia! 

Like I said in the previous blog, I have a 10843756892745 ideas floating around in my head right now so I will be back soon!

It Is Better to Have Loved and Lost...

{Taken at Silent Eden}

World Goth Fair is LIVE! So of course...that would mean Gia starts feeling sick >.< Noooo! I shall fight it off!

I was pretty amazed with The Little Bat  and their coat for World Goth Fair. Super cute! I couldnt wait to put it on and take pics. And it's been awhile since Dead Pool has visited Gia's World so I thought I would send some love in that direction. 

Also...my tummy piercing...I'm pretty much exclusively pierced by Cute Poison. I just havent found other piercings I love as much. Cute Poison is at the Dark Style Fair with more amazing piercings. I will be trying to include another one that I loved soon! 

By the way...not trying to be so 'Oh my goth!' but...I actually do love cemeteries. The calmness there is what I need sometimes. You don't find many people hanging around there and I guess the introvert in me kinda loves that. When people here prefer to go for lake walks, I love the huge cemetery in town. It has paved walkways, there's a little pond in the back and some of the statues are pretty amazing to see. 

Also, there is an inner feud with that quote I used to name this blog post. For the loves I have lost, I sometimes think that saying is ridiculous. But for my true loves, family members..that I have truly lost, that have passed on...I think that quote is so true. I would rather have had them for the time I did, then never had them at all. My heart is always with them <3

Hey, don't blame me for going on a Fantasy Faire frenzy of blogness. We're given a few days to show you so many things and I just feel...so cheated because I want to show more!

The bloggers (and everyone else who wanted to join) were given challenges to participate in. One of them is called 'Why I Relay'. I wasn't sure if I should/would do this challenge but I think it's something that must be known. The challenge states that it "is for those who do have a personal reason to support Relay for Life events and who would like to share it."

Why do I Relay? Because I am damn mad at Cancer. I remember being in 3rd grade and having a friend named 'Sammy'. He was funny, loud, in your face kinda kid. We had this tire swing that he loved. He'd get on it and wave me over and I would spin him around till we were both pukous. Aaaaand one day Sammy was gone. He was also gone the next day and days and days following that. Nobody ever told us why, he simply wasn't there. Maybe they thought we all would only breifly wonder, then go on with our lives but, I couldn't. With help of my family, I found that Sammy was in the hospital due to complications from his Leukemia. When he found out I was asking for him, he made sure to request 'crispitos' from school and so I would smuggle mine out for him. We did this till my sister had to tell me Sammy wasn't at the hospital anymore...he had passed away. What a shocker for me as a kid. I never forgot him or his round face, most of all his smile. My cousin Benny also had his fight with Cancer and passed away in 2001. A cousin I was just getting to know but he was already loved dearly. The rage inside of me was more than I could express and so I didn't. I boxed it up. My grandfather, another one that passed away due to lung cancer. I never even met him. He died months before I was born. 

I relay for the fallen. I can't bring myself to say that they 'lost' their fight with cancer. I won't. They fought harder than most people ever will. I relay for those that are dealing with it right now. I relay to let Cancer know how damn mad I am at it. How much the world needs to be without it ever invading any of our lives ever again.

Oh and by the way, The Plastik made some amazing skins for Fantasy Faire. Seriously breath taking work. Don't miss them!

sTEAL My Retro Luvin' Heart!

 {Taken at ASU Virtual Heritage Island}

Something about Spring and Summer that brings out the retro lover in me. Well, it's there all the time but, more so during those two seasons. I love that in that era, class happened at ALL times! "Hunny, be right back! Just going to grab a few things at the grocery store." And of course, you see the lady dolled up from head to toe. Serving pancakes to the family as the hubby then grabs his briefcase and heads out to work...but not before that loving smooch is given! The kids smile and run waving to her as they're off to school and she does the dishes and plans the menu for the rest of the week with a Colgate smile! HAH! It's a dream. 

I seriously spend so much time at this sim because there isn't one corner of it that I don't love. And...it's so quiet! There's nothing over the top there. It is just so realistically retro that...it makes me feel right at home.
Who else to wear there but my DRBC? Of Course!! You're not doing retro right if you're not in DRBC. Don't argue.

Honestly had a helluva time choosing which one of these dresses to share with you because each of them bring out a different vibe. This teal color being played with is one of the newer colors being featured and I fell in love...all over again! *le sigh!*
Perfect excuse to pair with my Eudora wedges and hand bag! Eudora has become a shoe shop that I admit, I fan girl for. Quality in the texture, originality they have got it all!

These are my wedges. I caress them lovingly. Well, not really but my goodness! One of my favorites!

The handbag came with it too and all with a HUD to change colors to your liking. Don't worry, you'll probably see these blogged several times over.

Can't forget my manicure! Dark Passions is just being soooo busy! One of the main places I will go to get my SL nails done. I was so delighted to see Dark Passions at the cosmetic fair this round! And YES, it started!

There are actually 12 different prints for these nails and an adorable polka dot version too! Don't miss Dark Passions at the cosmetic fair <3
