Film Noir Fantasies

So I might've had just a lil too much fun with the pics for this blog but, what can I say? You already know me well enough. This always happens when I am having fun.
The DRD set available at 9th Republic is an Industrial set, still when all was said and done and I put myself in the pics (which I wasn't going to do at first!) it reminded me of something very film noir, which is something I love! So I edited my last one in a black and white version as a dedication to my love for all things film noir. All I needed was my criminal to come and find me!

The week has been a long and busy one for me but I am SO glad it's Friday! Finally!
I'm hoping to get a few posts in over the weekend but that's not a promise.
I wanted to thank my readers for being so patient with me. I have never been a 'bang it all out' blogger. My posts have always been spread out over a few days, but right now...that time has been even more so. RL has been super hectic and balancing that and the blog has been tough.
My blog is my creative outlet and my place to go on mini rants and my place to be free...and my place to be a chatterbox to the masses without disturbing the introvert inside me! So, again, thanks so much for your patience. I may not post everyday...but my heart is in everything I post <3

Back soon hopefully!

Tres Elegant Gothique

 {Taken at +Blasphemy+}

Oh Black Fashion Fair...why must you own my heart like so?! Last year I fell in love with this lil event (not that lil) because it revolves around the color black...and c'mon kids, what does Gia love? Black with a side of blacker! People might get tired of seeing, people may feel it's over used...but get used to that in Gia's World! It's a versatile and dramatic color that I love with all of my gothy lil black soul!

I was thrilled to find that my good friend and sponsor Bcreative, owner of Dark Passions, would be participating in the event. My nails are already pretty much exclusively done by Dark Passions and in case you dont know...she is including more and more mesh clothing to her shop and I am loving it! With her insanely unique and detailed nail designs, we can all only imagine where this is going to go with clothing. I am excited! 

Although her top seemed to call for a deadly gothy vixen type look, I decided to whip it around and match it up with this elegant dress I found at The Black Fashion Fair. It turned out to be a pleasant lil mix of goth vixen and elegance. I wore this one to Bcreative's RezDay party. She's an oldie here in SL, 10 years! And it shows in her character. No drama, no BS, just a straight forward woman who has grown on me in a very short amount of time. I <3 you B!

Also had to love on some Mystic Canvass skin because it's been awhile since she's been in Gia's World and she has been missed! Can't wait for new goodies from her creative mind as well!

Okay go and grab all the goodies and don't forget these awesome nails!!

Splish-Splash! {DRBC Special}

{Both photos taken at Goodnight Photography}

It certainly is no secret that I kind of am in love with DRBC. I have been since the moment I walked in the little shop. So, I thought I would give you some info into the shop, in case you haven't familiarized yourself with this shop already. (Although if you're one of my followers, you're well acquainted with it!)

So I nudged Dizzy (DRBC owner) and asked her some questions, it went like...

Gia Nikai takes out pen and paper

Gia Nikai: So Dizzy...

diZzy Kit: YeSaH!

Gia Nikai: When was DRBC established?

Frost Kit: a long time ago in a mystical land far far away

Gia Nikai: its going in the blog unless you say off the record

Gia Nikai: Shup Frost

diZzy Kit: September 2012

Gia Nikai: What made you want to start the shop?

diZzy Kit: When I came back to Second Life after a break, there was a lack of rockabilly/psychobilly fashion, particularly in mesh, and I wanted my avatar to reflect my real life style (though dizzy is a much sharper dresser than I am these days!). I'd watched Frost as we hung out together and I was really interested in the idea of making unique things for my avatar to wear. Then other people liked it too - so that was just a really great bonus!

Gia Nikai: First thing you made and had available to sell?

diZzy Kit: The first thing I made was a black vinyl apron because that seemed like a perfect thing for a deahrocker bettie crocker to have in her inventory. The vinyl of the deathrock scene and the apron of the retro homemaker - perfect!

Gia Nikai: If you had to pick one of your outfits/creations that you think embodies all that DRBC is, which would it be?

diZzy Kit: Picking one would be next to impossible - but I would say that anything with my signature "Creature Feature" or "B-movie" prints is near and dear to me. I always loved monster - ever since I was little. I felt empathy for them. So that print was something I wanted to make a staple of the ::drbc:: line - from the very beginning.

Gia Nikai: What can we expect of DRBC this summer? any events?

diZzy Kit: Well I regularly participate in the wonderful ::Suicide Dollz:: event as well as the Gacha Garden from >Pre-Release<. With World Goth Fair and The Dark Style Fair wrapping up, I am looking to see which events to get involved in, but I'd like to focus on releases for the mainstore as well and really devote some time to the next thing for me and ::drbc::. I have plans - muhahahah! Stay tuned to find out what and when.

Done Waiting For True Loves Kiss {Fantasy Faire}

{Photo taken at Fairelands Junction}

Ever since I was a little girl, one of my favorite words was 'Why?'. Yep, I was that annoying kid! I remember reading fairy tales and wondering why the evil Stepmother was evil. Why this, why that. I would end up wanting to play the villain or twist the story line a bit. So I ran into another Boudoir bit of epicness. I so love these props she's making that are wearable! So many times, the issues we have as bloggers or photographers is finding a wonderful place and then you can't rez your photo props. Well this takes care of that issue! You wear it and BAM! 

The original pose when you wear this coffin will put you into a rested position with hands folded over your torso, laying back on the pillow....but I wasn't ready to play the damsel. I brought a few cute friends with me and whipped the pose to my liking!

Boudoir is at the Fantasy Faire! Make sure to snag all of these wearables. <3

I know I said I was going to limit the amount of pics per post but...yeah this is me limiting! I loved all over this outfit and the scene in general. I was just like "Ok, let me pose here." No Wait!

Right here!

I crave fruits like no other during this time of year and allll through the summer. The when fall arrives, it's more vegetables. That's just my thing I suppose.
If I could though, I would easily spend all my money on fruit while grocery shopping. So, of course I had to do a spring pic with tons of fruitage!

I ran into a plethora of cuteness! Sn@tch released these cute lil dresses and I thought they were soooo cute! How to dress them up? So many ways! I went for a more casual/cute look instead of the super fancy. It's something comfortable and cool that I would definitely rock in my RL. Sn@tch has already released even more! I can't keep up! Make sure to click on the link above to follow Sn@tch on Facebook or follow on Flickr. AND...the dress has a super cute bow that attaches right over the bosom, I just didn't want to wear it for the pics (or *cough* I may have forgot to attach it, edited all the pics and was like awwwww daaaaaaaaaaaaamn! *cough*)
Also, Sn@tch is spoiling us with goodies at such a low price! Look for this...

at the mainstore attached to some of the outfits to find an awesome outfit at an insanely low price! It's why we love our Sn@tch!

My tattoo is another Reckless fav! It's just one of those tattoos that make you adore it from every angle. Check out my sponsor page above to follow Reckless!

The shoes are another new fav! I'll be keeping my eye on this little shop to see what comes up next!
