"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!!

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/

Time Will See Us Realign

{This Photo taken at Small Town Green}

I've loved the Small Town Green sim for awhile now. There are little spots all over the place to capture a great moment in SL or just to sit and lounge in. This hidden and overgrown railroad track is one of my favorite little spots. Although it doesn't have build turned on, it's still a great place for bloggers/photographers etc who enjoy their outdoorsy pics. 

I knew -just- where I wanted to take this photo and I knew just want I wanted to pair up my featured item with! I am featuring Death Row Designs at A Secret Affair. The Secret Affair this round was amazing! My compliments to all parties involved. My lindens were flailed all over the place! If you haven't been there, make sure to pay it a visit and grab this gorgeous armor by DRD! 

As for my hair, don't you love it?! Ugh Moon! Both of the Moon hairs available at N21 are out of this Slworld Amazing! At least in my personal opinion. You will definitely want them both! I am crossing my fingers in hopes that only more curly hairs will come to our SL, preferably ones without flex! Not that I have anything against it myself, what you wear is your business. After all, this is YOUR SL and nobody can dress up your doll except you. I simply don't miss it going into my body whenever I move =)

Okay okay, I got so much more to show you and don't be surprised if you see this hair and the curly hair blogged several thousand times. I can't seem to get enough of them!

Steam Queen

{These photos taken at New Babbage}

Long overdue for another Eudora post but then...I ran into lots more shinies to add to it!

Steampunk clothing is so hard to find in Second Life, even harder to find great quality steampunk attire. So, if you're one of my followers, I want you to know that it is my personal mission to ALWAYS choose the best of all things Steampunk/Goth, high quality badassery of some of the hardest styles to show in SL and blog them all so that you know where and when to grab!

These are two styles I simply adore and two styles that are very elusive in SL. Well, goth runs aplenty but high quality, high fashion, exceptional goth/steampunk is pretty hard to find! Believe me, I look in every corner of the grid for it. 

Okay so, ran into a few things my fellow Steamers will need in the inventory. 

Secret Affair is opening soon, tomorrow actually. 15th through the 29th. So you have a few days to get in there and grab some stuff, many things actually that caught my eye. From hair, shoes, clothes to horns! HORNS! 

I was just about to bail before all the monies were gone and then Remarkable Oblivion starts setting up! Haha. Had to wait. You will want these babies. I even included a back shot of the horns above so you could see that front to back, they are awesome! They also come with a steam/without steam option. 

I am also sporting Eudora and a DRD belt. DRD has made several steampunk-ish things and DRD is obviously one of Gia's fav places to be. Eudora, although known for their fancy shmancy heels...also make a lot of steam punk badassery! Keep them on your list and keep an eye out because they randomly drop it. For my fellow steampunk gals, the heels are a must have. They come with a HUD for other color options and the small detail is incredible! 

The outfit is a new find for me. I am not too familiar with this store but I loved the couple things I found there. This outfit also came with an awesome scarf but it covered the necklace. 

Yep, I'm being a chatterbox this morning!

Take note and go grab all the things! <3
