"A True Queen Does Not Need A King.."

{Taken at Tales of Ashenborne}

Vikings on  the History channel has started up again! I am such a fan! A friend introduced me to it last year and I plowed through the first few seasons I missed then was able to watch along with everyone else and...now it's back and I am so excited! They haven't failed me yet in acting, story line, eye candy lol. My favorite character is still Lagertha (when they pronounce her name, the R is pretty much silent). I love that she is not made to be the typical female running behind a man, waiting on a man, etc etc. I love that she reigns, I love that she is ruthless, I love that she looks so beautiful and sweet but if you know her, you know how deadly she can be when it comes to protecting her family, herself and her people. 

So when I thought of which direction I wanted to go with this picture, I thought of Lagertha and her brutal beauty. 

The picture was brutal on me too! I don't know why I never thought to take a picture vertically. This is what...my third year of blogging, (close to it anyway lol) and I never flipped my pictures?! This whole time?! Thankfully I have a wonderful friend who sent me in the right direction to accomplish that and a boyfriend who helped me nail it! 

My gorgeous Death Row Designs helmet needed to be featured in its entirety. Every way I was trying to take the picture, it seemed to chop part of it off....and I just couldn't have that! So...I don't know, what do you all do to get the pictures you want? Especially when it comes to this flipping the picture shenanigans! If there is easier tips or tricks, y'all better share! lol

Also, I am so thankful that Azuchi Designs followed me on Flickr when they did because I was just about to go on this total bitch fit about there being a lack of proper armor in Second Life lol. This armor is insanely gorgeous! It actually covers the bewbs! Shocking right?! Why is all female armor made to look so revealing? Some of us would like to imagine that our chest would actually be protected in battle you know!

Won't keep you forever. Arcade is right around the corner, we're about to get real busy and real broke haha. I'm so ready, teleport ready, full alpha ready!

Thanks so much to the people of Ashenborne who let me stand around their sim forever trying to get this picture in! To allll my roleplayers out there, I hope you take a moment to check it out. Looks like it would make for some great roleplay and it seems laid back enough at the same time there's some rules for great game play and smooth rp and leveling! Ladies, keep watch for sexy pirates! I saw a few prowling around!

Be back soon luvs! Enjoy your weekend <3

All the Witchery

Hey luvs! I hope your week started out well. My Monday was...well, a Monday. Overly busy and annoying! I made it through though and I am here!

So one of my favorite things to talk about, things to find, etc. are freebies in SL. Maybe not even just freebies but things that are such a bargain that you just can't pass up. Why? Because when I first started playing Second Life, this wasn't even an option and if you did find something that was free you had to sit in a chair for several hours (camping), even then, mesh wasn't out back then so it was all system clothes...I know some of y'all remember what I'm talking about! Quality freebies were insanely hard to come by! It never ceases to amaze me the amount of things that are available to us now at such a great bargain or as group gifts!

This gown is a group gift from DRBC this month! Are you in the DRBC group? You should be! Dizzy (owner of DRBC) is usually right on top of her group gifts and they are always awesome and very well done! Make sure to head over to DRBC in world where you can join the group and snag this gown and follow on Facebook (linked above) for updates on future group gifts and other upcoming goodies! We're spoiled. You can look damn good real quick as a newb Second Life player. I had a friends sister start playing Second Life with me. I gave her some linden to join Little Bones, and Moon groups. She joined DRBC, FK Designs. I sent her to Pink Fuel for the free 'Under 30 day' skin, and bought her a bargain AO (like 200L I think) at Oracul that is actually great quality, I use it all the time. For less than 500L she looked a damn sight better than I did when I started out as a newbie! Lol people were accusing her of being an 'alt' and she didn't know what that meant. My very first blog post has a picture of me when I first started Second Life (that's not what I looked like when I started the blog! Lol) so if you can go back that far, you'll see what newbie Gia looked like!

Can't keep you long today! Already working on other projects, they're keeping me so busy! I love it!
See you all soon! Have a great week <3

With Eyes The Color of Rain

{Taken Here} 

I absolutely love love love our many different cultures! Ever since I was a child, I remember being absolutely infatuated with learning about other cultures, their styles, history...everything, yes I was and am that selfish still. 

Japanese culture is just another one I adore, particularly the Geisha. I won't go into pretending to know every single thing about them, well...they're supposed to be a mystery...right? 

I do know we've warped them into something sexual when they first represented beauty and art. 

Although my Geisha is portrayed as a more sexual type, (hey I couldn't help it, I loved this Kimono and it was an off the shoulder only kinda thing lol) I don't want to misinterpret what they really are and should stand for. 

During my role play years, I even role played a Geisha...an artsy one. It was a great time too. I took my time studying them for awhile so that I could play my role correctly and actually gained a nice following.

Any time that I can, I try to take on a style I don't get to show off that often in my blog. This is just another style that I love so much and added my little touches to it! I won't keep you all too long this time since my last blog must've kept you all busy for awhile! Lol.

I will be back again soon though! That's a promise <3

A Fantasy Frozen In Time

{Taken Here}

My goodness! Darn that Gia for taking her sweet ass time to get back to SL! ;) My apologies for the absence luvs. October, November, December are busy for me, like so many other people. But even beyond that, our family was just tossed around in a series of unfortunate events and with the sadness, my inspiration was at a stand still. I know so many of us have had to deal with it, so I know you'll be understanding with me. I am not going to go into too many personal issues, they're a bummer, believe me. But I do want to say something. 

We always hear the 'Tomorrow is never promised' saying but seriously, I mean it....please remember it. You can see someone one day and they are gone forever the next. So love people in your life every day as if you'll never see them again. Don't ever be afraid to be that passionate. You have to be. With so much hatred in this world, be the rebel and love! Life is so precious. I have to remind myself of it all the time.
This is also a time for depression to just sky rocket. Why? Maybe it's that we're so broke. Memories attached to this time of year. Remembering loved ones that aren't here to celebrate with us anymore. It's all of the above for me. It's fucking rough. There's simply no other way to put it. I guess the important thing is to try. Small victories are great. You put pants on today? Go you! You rock!
I am coming around though and have a ton of things to catch up on with a few, oh you know, several thousand ideas on the side! I've been watching and reading and listening to a lot of interesting things that are helping to spark up ideas so, it should be fun!

IN OTHER NEWS---

My other half in SL, my bestfriend Dizzy sent me an amazing gift a couple weeks ago, the LOGO Mesh head! I am so in love with it. It's really gorgeous with it's supple lips and rounded features, emotions HUD and all that other good stuff. All that and then Glam Affair makes appliers for it! I hope you've all have a chance to give them a try, the Glam Affair applier is beautiful!
The Polar Glam Affair skin tone is probably one of my favorites. It's pale...need I say more? Haha. Not just pale, it's just got an all around soft paleness to it. I fantasy-themed pic came to mind and paired with Vibe Poses, I had a blast <3
Play grabby hands with all the things linked below and stick around Gia's World, I will be back soon!

"She's A Myth That I Have to Believe In.."

{Taken at Ironwood Hills}

Places in Second Life have slowly started to become covered in all the fluffy white stuff...yes, I do mean snow. Right now, I appreciate it. I am from the northern part of the U.S. so I grew up around many feet of snow during the winter. Winter just isn't winter unless you have to navigate icy roads and can sit in the back yard building igloos. Well, we tried anyway. We never actually could get to the ceiling part of it, we'd just get some pretty high walls going before my siblings wanted to start an all out snowball war and then...the walls were no more. 

The sim owners in Second Life have such talent though. I don't know how they manage to pull an entire place together. The smallest details are always what get me. Ironwood Hills has been a favorite of mine, several of my blog pictures are linked back to it. Creepy and gorgeous with one of the best graveyards in Second Life. Make sure to pay it a visit.

Remarkable Oblivion has given us some more wings to play with. So many of us are still in the RO wings that were released awhile ago. Just like those, these are also gorgeous! With a darker vibe though, at least that's how I saw it. These are available at We <3 Roleplay, be sure not to miss them!

I will see you again soon luvs!  Much to show, so little time <3

All Things Witchy

This trend has been on for awhile though more recently in our Second Life....it seems to have caught fire! It's a good thing because it is a good style. When it's done good, it can be amazing!
I fell in love with American Horror Story when I finally gave it a chance. AHS:Coven was season three of the show and I swear it helped push this style right along. Creepy school girl kinda look? Pretty much! With school starting up, it was something that had to be done.
So Livid released this awesome lil gacha with so many goodies that you will need. If you haven't been there already. They should match perfectly with everything you will be snagging at Collabor88 which just opened at 12am SLT!
I was also sure to include the awesome RARE owl by Remarkable Oblivion which is at The Arcade this round. He's such a little cutie!
The awesome skin I am in is by Glam Affair featured at We <3 Roleplay this round. There are several different Lelutka appliers, this was one of my favs and it fit the picture well.
I wont keep you long today, as there are just a ton of things I want to show you and another blog post already in the works!  Have fun shopping and see you all soon! <3
