"You're a Bad Little Chick And That's The Word On The Street.."

{Taken at Retroville!}

Genre has already been open for awhile, I just took a bit to collab with myself! I love collabing with my blogger friends in SL but I do realize we all have things that keep us busy both in RL and in SL. We all have sponsors and events to keep up with. So, when I am searching for a partner from now on, I really have to just turn to myself. Less arguments happen. 

I was a bit inspired by 'Orphan Black' of course. Who doesn't love a nice clone war? Just when you thought one Gia was too much to handle I went and rawked your world!

So everything on all four versions of me is by DRBC. She sure did kick some booty at Genre this round but what would you expect? It was 'Rockabilly' themed and we all know DRBC does it best! There's still even more choices for you to choose from and an absolute steal there so make sure to head over, pay Genre a visit and grab stuff <3

Back soon!

"I'd Rather Have Flowers In My Hair Than Diamonds Around My Neck.."

{Taken at Frisland}

Hey guys and dolls! I thought I would go to another part of Gia's World this week. It's not a part of me that is seen too often but it is a part of me that is there nonetheless. 

I always hope that my readers, my friends, everyone...understand why I named my blog 'Gia's World'. Not to be a narcissist haha. No, I named it that because there are SO many different sides of me. I can't just claim to blog one style of clothing when I love so many different styles. From Goth to Rockabilly, Fantasy, Fancy, Chic, Casual, and oh so many in between, it's all found in Gia's World. They're all different parts that make up me...Gia <3

So Sn@tch hasn't made an appearance here in awhile. Blame Ivey, hurry, everyone go prod her for not making these sooner lol. So she makes these gorgeous lil hip hugging pants and they just so happen to have the name 'Gia' in it (cuzshelovesmelongtimemhmm) and so I HAD to have them in Gia's World! They come in several different colors, have a nice rounded tush (no odd flat butt), and fit the Maitreya mesh body really well, which is what I have on in the pic and rarely take off. 

Mind you, this is Ivey's previous release....because this woman already released more Sn@tch goodies! Seriously, she is so very hard to keep up with. The awesomeness just keeps coming, we Sn@tchettes don't complain though! Follow Sn@tch on Facebook or on the Sn@tch Blog to keep updated on all things Sn@tchable!

Alright, alright...I am working on another post already. Sorry I am so super picky about my pics so it takes me way longer than what it should but I'm on it! Promise <3 See you shortly!

"In Sleep He Sang to Me, In Dreams He Came.." {Death Row Designs 'Phantom Lair' Special}

So this post was due SO long ago but let me tell you of my struggles! It got real! How hard is it to find a gothy guy in Second Life?! Well I am sure we walk past a ton of them daily while on our shopping sprees but for some reason, they were evading me! *insert mean face here*
So I had to hunt one down. Thankfully, my fellow blogger friend Dev jumped on board for this awesome adventure with me! It is quite difficult to find Victorian goth clothes in SL that has been updated to our classy mesh stuff. Most of is is outdated and flexi. Lets fix this! If you read my previous blog, well you know my rant on the goth issues lol. So glad Dev has quite the wardrobe himself and was able to put an Phantom-esqe ensemble together. So hauntingly gorgeous! He did his job well in putting me in the mood for the photo session!

I was lucky enough to be able to see this on stage many years ago and I was just...jaw on the floor the whole time. I have been in love with this ever since then. I fell in love with Andrew Lloyd Webber and his insane talent and also Sarah Brightman and her gorgeous voice! When I saw the movie, I wasn't a hater...I just fell in love with it even more...and fell in love with Gerard Butler! Lol.

Death Row Designs is just hands down one of Gia's World's all time favorites, EVER! Jaimy now works side by side with her sister (Eowyn) and her partner in crime (Tito) and the three of them together seem to be a team of badassery! I will have to try and steal Jaimy for a moment and get her to give Gia's World a mini interview sometime, see if we can get some DRD behind the scenes info!
I was just amazed with the 'Phantom Lair' set available at the Oh My Gacha event. Yes, this event has been open for a bit, I'm late but look at it like this..at least you dont have to fight the masses to get in now! Lol and you still have 11 days left. Utilize those days well because this is definitely a set you will want. Especially my fellow Goths who love their candles and red velvet throws and whatnot. I hope I'm so late that you've already collected this WHOLE DAMN THING! It's just so stunning!
There's a total of 19 pieces to collect. The Bed, the Boat and the couch have over a hundred animations including.. cover your virgin eyes now....rated X animations! Animated Organ and the pile of trunks are animated as well.

Impeccable detail, exceptional quality and likeliness to what was in the actual movie will make you NEED these! Prepare your Phantom play list and wardrobes and get lost in this stuff, believe me, I did!

To see what Dev has on, head over to his blog and check it out!

Fameshed is open! Did everyone else bum-rush it like I did?! Okay good! I didn't want to feel alone in the struggle lol. Seriously though. I always tell myself I will wait for several days before going to an event. Because the flood of people is soooo bad. Causes lag. Of course there's the people who wear 6186688 attachments plus of course they have to bring their pets and whatnot and hey, it's your SL...but just know you're probably annoying several people when you do that at events! I rarely hop in an event in full attire, I'm mostly nude..just kidding! I'm usually in full on body alpha (so kind of nude right?)

However, there are some things I will fight the masses for. I saw these heels by Remarkable Oblivion and I admit that...I will willing to bum-rush Fameshed to get my hands on these babies! Such a super unique style and in typical RO form, excellent quality and texture at a price that just makes it easy to grab them all...plus there is a Fatpack available so even easier! Cuz you cannot pick one color. Versatility is so very much appreciated in my wardrobe because you will almost never see Gia dressed in the same style of clothing. I am gothy today, maybe not so much tomorrow, cyber Mondays, Black on Wednesdays, Freestyle Fridays...I dont really go by that, I am just saying, the randomness is there so if I find an article of clothing that can be dressed up or down, I hold it dear to my pixelated heart. 

Here's some more colors I snagged, 4 available total..just fatpack it, believe me.

World So Cold

{This Photo Taken Here}

One of the lil quirks I have with Second Life photos, especially during these winter months is that it seems like...nobody cares that their avatar is standing out in the middle of winter...in lingerie (for example!). I personally like to layout a storyline for my photos...and I know, that's just MY personal preference and not everyone has to do that. That's just fine. But if you're standing in the snow butt ass nekkid, I would like to know why. So I sat on this photo for a minute for that exact issue. I had to ask myself if I would take a stroll if the winter chill would nip at my bare shoulders and legs...depending on the situation...yes. Have you ever been so angry that you don't feel the weather? The sting of the winter wind on your face is nothing in comparison to the feeling that is completely engulfing you. 

I loved this dress by Skindustrial Bodyworks. It is available in several colors just in time for dances, parties, gatherings, date nights around this holiday season so make sure to grab them all!

Be back in a bit luvs!

The Ghost of Christmas Past

My dearest apologies for not getting this blog out like daaaaays ago but you see I have a good reason, which will be located on the bottom of this post.
After a lil talk with my friend Anika, I decided that this house was far too great to just feature a few pictures of it here and there, I wanted to do something different.
This house and all of the awesome little knick-knacks in it are by Death Row Designs and are available at the Arcade this December round. Oh ho ho so many things at the Arcade that just made me want to slap the designers lovingly with my lindens. Lol. But this is definitely one of the gacha machines you're not going to want to miss.
With the attention to detail and the nice warmth the little quirky house gives, it's simply a must have for this time of year and one you'll want to put out every Christmas! My favorite part of the house was of course dear old Ebenezer's bedroom. You can just tell how much work was put into all of this. Death Row Designs is a team now and I think they do a damn great job together! They always leave me eagerly anticipating their next project.
So this was my first time in a loooong time playing with video, and then on top of that I decided to get a new program so you might be seeing more videos from me (maybe, no promises! Time permitting!! Gia is a busy busy lady). So be nice as far as judging lol and enjoy my little walk through of Ebenezer's house and I hope it entices you to go snag it and enjoy its warmth this holiday season...before the Ghost of Christmas Past comes to haunt you! Also, don't forget to grab the awesome lil snow man that is a free gift from DRD at the Arcade featured in the beginning of the video with and without sound effects. <3

Back soon my loves!

{These Photos Taken At Hangars Liquides}

Neeeeedless to say, I just had a ball playing with these pics! I've been experimenting more in photoshop with lighting and blur of course and doing a Fifth Element action shot was the perfect project for the job! 

DRBC dropped a loverly little dress for the anniversary round of Suicide Dollz! Happy Anniversary Suicide Dollz! With over 60 designers participating, this is a round you most definitely do not want to miss! Well, don't miss any round but if you miss this one it's a high five to the forehead for you! Lol

So, it's been my goal since the beginning of the creation of Gia's World to show you things that I simply adore, admire, look forward to, etc., in Second Life. Main one of course is the many designers who I fan girl over because of their talent. Of course, without saying much, you all know one of the designers who I love long time but there's a reason of course! And I really hope you can see that here. The reason I chose to blog the plan white Leeloo dress (Although there is another dress available with a color HUD!), is because of the texture. Although I had fun in photoshop with my pictures, I really wanted to show the texture of my dress in my bottom portrait. I didn't photoshop the dress AT ALL in the bottom pic. Played with my skin, hair, lighting but not the dress.  While in SL I have seen so much mesh clothes that is supposed to be white but it looks like it had paint dumped on it rather than any texture at all...but if I've done my job right, you can see clearly that this dress has an insanely great texture to it! I just have to applaud her on a job well done as there aren't too many that do white on mesh like so. 

With that being said, keep your eyes locked on DRBC as I know this month is a busy one and the releases are a comin'! Gothmas by Gaslight and Horror Festive are right around the corner. Click on the DRBC Facebook link above to keep updated on all things DRBC and to see what she has lined up for upcoming events.

Busy busy days in Gia's World! Eyes here ladies and Gents! <3
