Voted Most Likely To...{Strawberry Singh's Second Life Yearbook Smile Challenge!}

I almost never have a chance to do Strawberry's meme's but this one I could not put on the back burner. Because no Second Life yearbook is or could be complete without a shot of Gia! So I had to get in a quickie *snickers*. You can find her Second Life Smile Challenge Meme on her blog! Instead of going with a gothy lil look, I decided to dig into my actual roots. Since I'm an 80's kid, I went with the 80's theme! I spent the greater portion of my life loathing the 80's but that's because I was exposed to a lot of the corniness of it. As an adult now, I've embraced that corniness and am also able to see so many more sides to the 80's that I actually love. (Of course I am talking about the goth and punk scene here! lol)

So as for the smiling part. I know I saw many people posting tips on Strawberry's blog on how to get your avatar to smile and woah! I didn't know it was such an issue. I take so many pin-up pictures and whatnot so I kind of got into my own swing of things. I've never tried the mesh smile mouth...it even sounds creepy lol but what I do...mind you, I do NOT claim to be a photoshop professional, I more so claim to be a photoshop screw up that can occasionally luck out and land a few things right lol. So anyway, what I do is simply take two pictures. I use the 'Anypose Expression' Hud which can be found  for free on the marketplace. So I take a picture with me smiling and another one, without changing windlights or the pose, only I unclick the smile option. I then go into photoshop, open both my pictures. I am going to keep and edit the one with the smile on it and only use the other for the eye adjustment. The expression HUD and any smile HUD in Second Life just makes for creeper smiles and wider eyes can fix that. Yes I heard you can make a shape for that but, ain't nobody got time for that! Much easier for me to use the clone stamp tool in photoshop on the non-smiley picture, click on a certain point near the eyes, switch pictures, then clone those more natural looking eyes over the smiley face. I hope that made a little sense. In the above photo, all I did was make a copy of my eyelashes and edit the copied lashes to fit my squinty eyes.
I would love to do tutorials one day but, I so don't feel like any kind of pro to be offering tips or tricks. I kind of just do whatever works for me and hope it entertains you!
By the way...I wasn't voted 'most likely' to do anything, we had quotes. What I was remembered for was being that girl in the science room that laughed hysterically when that one kid read the word 'organism' as 'orgasm' and was sent to the office for knowing what 'orgasm' meant. Oh c'mon! We were in seventh grade!!

Macabre Burlesque!

It certainly isn't a surprise that I have a passion for my vintage fashion, styles, music, etc...that also includes Burlesque! When Burlesque is done right, oh my goodness, it is simply the sexiest thing ever. The dark side of me had to add a lil splash of macabre to my burlesque. Eudora's newest release at Uber was my inspiration for the shot. There is a top available for this outfit but I needed to add my lil skelly hands.Yes, they were dying to get their hands on me! <3
Now mind you, in case you are wondering...my stocking is obviously edited in photoshop! I was terrified to mess with that. After several tries though, I was happy with the turn out. the stockings are from a place I recently came across but will definitely be a constant in Gia's World, especially since she is in the process of making her store Maitreya and Omega friendly! \o/
When it comes to Burlesque, I don't know...there was always something about the stocking play that I found to be exceptionally sexeh! I don't have a foot fetish (do I? Lol) But I love that the women use such technique to tuck the stocking between their toes to tease you as they tug it off their leg  and hold it between their toes playfully  before slinging it off, so that look in my eye in this pic, yeah, that's exactly what it's about!
But okay, I wont be a chatter box today! I will see you all soon though! *smoooch!*

Into The Woods We Go!

Oh yes yes, I had another chance to do a collab with my loverly Anika...and I simply cannot say no to her! Especially while wearing such an adorbs lil coat. DRBC is in this round of Suicide Dollz so if you haven't been there to grab all the things, make sure to head over there and make it happen!
A friend took me out to dinner and a movie the other night and even though I had told her I heard the movie 'Into The Woods' wasn't so great, we went anyway...and it wasn't so great, not horrible though! Maybe it was just me, maybe it will be great for some people. I don't really take anybody's reviews into consideration, maybe you shouldn't either. All I am saying is that I kept falling asleep. I found the storyline to be boring, although they mashed up the fairy tales into one musical...I just couldn't get into it. That's NOT to say I don't like musicals either because I do, that one just didn't make the cut. If you decide to see it though, make sure to pay attention to Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk. I probably was more impressed by his lil performance. It definitely doesn't surprise me that he has been in other stage performances he's quite talented! Of course Meryl never fails either. I know the story has a great following and maybe the people that have had a chance to experience it live have a greater appreciation for it than we do, in any case, although all talented and great performances, it just wasn't for me.
But Back in SL---> There's a ton of events that opened and some just opening so Gia's World is a busy place right now! Eyes locked here loves, I will be back shortly!
Please visit Anika's Blog to see her hotness...and also to see what she is wearing! (If it's not posted yet, just wait longer :P)

In A World Gone Crazy, Everything Seems Hazy, I'm A Wild One!

{Taken here}

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.

Hello, Hello, Hello? Is There Anybody In There?

As we step closer and closer to 2015, we see another year gone by, can look at things we left behind, both good and bad. We can smile about them, laugh about them, cry about them and hopefully more than anything, we've learned about it all. 

I love doing my post-apoc photos during the end of the year, I dont know why. Symbolization I guess. I wanted to get in this quickie of a post just to say a thanks to my readers, sponsors, friends. All the people that have silently peeked their heads into Gia's World to see what is going on. I don't care what reason you had to be here, the point is, you were here and I'm okay with that. 

My blog was started as an adventure. One I would take people on with me...an old school SL'er learning her way around this new school stuff and here I am. Sitting in my own lil corner of the SL world in a fantastical Maitreya body that I probably wont remove (until it's time to switch to my Belleza one which I still love). 

I hope this year has treated you all well...as well as possible. Life was never promised to be easy you know. All of us fight different battles and all we can do is be there for each other. I'm not trying to hippie dance around things...I'm just saying, we deal with enough crap everyday, don't be someones reason to deal with more. Appreciate everything, even if you think it's horrid. It's a lesson learned. Appreciate when people leave, they weren't meant to be there. Adore, love and care for the ones that fight for you and stay, they are precious.

I don't know where you are, what you're doing...but I do hope all is well. May this coming year be everything you'd like it to be <3

Luff you all much! ~Gia

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

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!

Big Bada Boom!

{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.

{These Photos Taken At Frisland}

The Geeks n' Nerds Event has come around again. This is my second year participating in it...and my second year not feeling like a geek or a nerd according to their items lol. Don't get me wrong, I say nothing bad about them because I love designers. They put a lot of work into what they do...I'm just saying I guess my definition of a geek or a nerd is kind of off. 

I got called a 'nerd' a lot because I usually carried around random books (I still do). Books to read randomly, poetry, old favs, classic American literature, classic horror of course, biographies,...and then there's that side of me that is allll about Middle Earth. When people see me carrying around my Lord of the Ring books or The Hobbit, I get "the look". That's a look I don't mind though. Yes I do in fact indulge in a book or two. Yes I have in fact shut out the world and read a book in a day and yes I have cried over a book, got mad over an ending and rage quit reading several books when they got stupid. *coughFIFTYSHADEScough*

I also get the look when I mention that I am a gamer. For some reason, all these years later...girls are still looked at oddly when we mention gaming or our love for it. I don't get it. I've been a gamer since I fell in love with Atari when I was a lil girl. It was console first and now PC is my luff n stuff and I could never go back to console (shh console lovers, just take it). My love for PC gaming has out lasted several relationships so you can't pin it on that horrible misconception people have 'Oh she games for her boyfriend", no no no...they can't keep up with me! 

I made sure to represent not only my love for reading but my PC love too! Though not in typical Gia fashion, I was willing to take on the challenge of rocking these shoes out because Lindsey Warwick is that damn badass. Her high quality textures never cease to amaze so, no...the shoe is not something I would typically wear but you cannot deny talent and she has it. Although the nerd in me does love the lil control command on the shoe lol.  And as you can see, when you want to, you can rock anything out!

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!

At His Majestys Command

{These Photos Taken At Whispering Windz}

My apologies loves, how I do wish I could blog all day every day but real life is so hectic right now and not being nice to me so I am struggling a bit but trying to be around as much as possible!

I recently had a 'Tudors' binge on Netflix. Ugh, what can I say? It's a guilty pleasure! One of the many. But if you wanna rewind just a tad, my obsession with this era started when I was a wee lil girl and I ran into my older sisters readers digest book on the supernatural. One of the stories was on the ghost of Anne Boleyn and it went into a little bit of her history and I remember thinking to myself...how damn tragic it was and how bad it would have been to live back then as a woman. 

Anyway, Dead Dollz sent me this lil loverly gown after my Tudors binge and Death Row Designs released this amazing table (stuffed pig included!) all at We <3 Roleplay so I smashed them together with The Tudors at heart...and then this lil shop came up out of nowhere and dropped the infamous Anne Boleyn necklace down for The Witching Hour event and I ran. I literally ran as soon as the event opened and snagged it right up. It's a gacha with several different options so of course, I chose to wear the blood spattered one...in typical Gia fashion!

The table and its entire layout was just amazing. I find DRD to still, after all this time to honestly just be one of those shops in SL that just can't fail me. *Crosses fingers* And better darn well not! Lol 

For the roleplayers, this is simply a must have in your homes, taverns, etc! Easy enough to catch a few dwarves wandering around this table as it would be to put a few thrones down and serve a King and Queen here. It comes with animations too PG and R rated *wink wink* With all of this, it only has a total of 26 LI, can seat up to 8 people and also has other chairs available for purchase with more animations included in them.

A big thank you to Whispering Windz for allowing me to play around in their wonderful Tudor-ish sim! The tavern was just what I had in mind but the whole sim is definitely worth paying it a visit. 

Back again soon! Yes yes I promise this time! No, seriously! <3

When Worlds Collide

{This Photo taken at Insilico}

I don't know if when I started blogging I thought it was going to be an easy thing to do...I don't think I did but in any case, I doubt I really knew what I was getting myself into lol. Now don't get me wrong. I love it, I honestly do. Though at times, I seem to put myself into predicaments that I just have to shake my head about....and at times I am blessed to run into several things at one time that fit like pieces to a puzzle. 

This is one of those times. 

My lovely futuristic get-up is by the one and only Frost Kit of FK! Designs. Not new at all to Gia's World, in fact he's one of the ones I admire so much because of his insane talent with texturing! Familiarize yourself with his shop, I promise you will not regret it and while you're doing so, snag this outfit. Oh man, I love it long time! For many reasons. It's a full mesh suit and the body build on it is adorable! From bewbs to butt it will make you a narcissist with your avi. I slapped it together with some newness from A&Y and made a nice mash-up for a cyber femme-fatale!

You can hardly see my nails so here you go...

Unedited pic of another badassery by Dark Passions! Please don't ever get tired of seeing Dark Passions in Gia's World because my nails are pretty much exclusively done by her! What can I say? I love my gothy and spookiness and she does it all with on occasional floral print even!

Okay loves. I shall be back again soon <3

"Baby It's Just You I'm Thinkin' Of!"

{These photos taken at Dyess Colony}

The Vintage & Cool event is almost over and I still feel like I've not even tapped into anything so I really hope you've all been there and looked around and of course, I know most of you snagged this outfit. The dress was honestly one of my favorites of the event, are we allowed to say that? Haha. Well it's true! With it's simplicity, soft floral print texture, it really did embody the theme of the event. Great job Delirium Style! The dress has so many different prints to chose from, make sure to check them all out and, it's a fair EXCLUSIVE so don't miss it!! I paired it with Eudora's Vintage & Cool release which complimented each other well with another soft floral print design on the wedges and a HUD that allows you multiple color options on the material as well as the wood part of the wedge.

I decided on doing a school girl kinda look with this outfit because...I've always loved the vintage style and being able to enjoy a teenage life during that era, I think, would have been amazing! Albeit heartbreaking! As it seems so many of the icons were so tragically/abruptly taken. Although I am in Johnny Cash's boyhood home of Dyess Colony (in SL) my heart was wrapped around Elvis during this post...well all of them. Elvis, James Dean, Patsy, Buddy Holly, Ritchie...we could go on forever, I love them all! So my post is dedicated to them, the ones that kept/keep our heads in the clouds, make us sing along and keep us in an era far better than the one we're in right now!

Oh I got more to show you, gimmie a sec <3

I Put A Spell On You

{These Photos Taken at Pulse Games-Don't Panic!}

We are at the ten days left count till Halloween and I am all too excited! This is honestly my month of happiness. Where I feel like everyone else is the weirdo and I am the one who is normal. Where my year round household decor is more lively because tis' the season for hauntings! Where I feel like for just this month, people can appreciate all my spookiness. So of course I get to play around with spookiness right?

Have you all been to Pulse for the Don't Panic! game? I made one round so far and then went back for pics. I know I will be back many many times, if not not to just hang out there and giggle at people in their confusion. If you see me around, feel free to nudge me if you need any help! 

I ran into some awesome finds between Collabor 88 and the Tag Gacha and made a bewitching lil outfit to doll up my wicked new skin from Mystic Canvass!

Make sure to hop around to all the places, play the games, snag the wicked goodies and enjoy yourselves during this awesome time of year!

See you soon!! <3
