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

Gone A Bit Batty

{Taken at Ironwood Hills}

Hello my lovelies! It's the weekend! Let us rejoice! The long work weeks make the weekend that much sweeter. 

So Halloween is officially 8 days away! I swear this month just flies by so fast! If there's ever a time when I can relate just a lil to being bipolar, it's during October. You get that high in the beginning of the month. All the sweet smells of Autumn that start in September are only intensified and it is so intoxicating! As the end of the month comes (so damn quickly!) the high just drops and it is upsetting. We need a pause button in life. Someone get on that!  

In other news though!

There's a little event going on in Second Life called 'The Truth About Bats & Avies' brought to you by SL Goth. Several designers from SL have gathered together in an effort to bring awareness of the rapid decline in the bat population, white nose syndrome, and other things threatening their existence. Proceeds from the event will benefit Bat World Sanctuary which is the only accredited bat sanctuary in the world. How I admire that there are people like that in this world. If only I were a rich woman. I bought things from this event with a smile because it's for a great cause and because there's so much awesomeness there. Other designers include: Spellbound, Sn@tch, The Little Bat, Livid, and More! Make sure to check it out!

I couldn't think of a better brand to be there to support the bats than DRBC. In case you haven't had a chance to get up close and personal (woohoo!) with Ms. Dizzy, owner of DRBC, she is an absolute lover of bats! And I don't mean using them as a cute lil print on clothing (although she does that so well too!) I mean she just simply thinks they're adorbs! So it is no surprise to me to see DRBC there with a gorgeous batty dress! The dress is called 'Vampira' and it so reminded me of Vampira. 

The quest to look like Vampira in SL I thought would be a simple one but it wasn't. Just so you know SL hair creators...there is no Vampira hair in SL! We (I had Dizzy helping me look for hair lol) scoured SL for hair similar to Vampira's. My requirements were the center part and the hairline and if possible, I wanted the vintage curls at the bottom. Nothing was found. Not.Ever! Spellbound had the closest thing that I wanted. The hairline was there because you're originally supposed to wear barrettes with it. The bottom of my hair is edited in the top pic to curl under. Originally, it hangs a bit straighter. 

Dark Passions Koffin Nails is also participating in the event with some adorbs batty nail appliers for Slink, Maitreya and Belleza. I even included a closie for them, I loved them that much <3

Go grab all the thangs! Have a spooktacular weekend! I will see you all again very soon! Make sure to follow Gia's World on Facebook too! I am all over the place. Plurk, Twitter, Flickr

Los Muertos

{Taken at Livid Mainstore}

Hey guys and dolls! SO much to catch up on but hey it's the weekend!

If you're a long time resident of Gia's World then you know that Dia De Los Muertos is a celebration that I've loved since I was just a lil girl. It's a part of my heritage, a part of my family. Not just sugar skulls and marigolds but something with so much meaning behind it! Although, I cannot ever get enough of my sugar skulls and fluffy flowers. I love that so many people fell in love with it too, people of all cultures. It's a time to look back on memories with our loved ones that have passed on. Remember their life and the things they loved and celebrate with them for a day (in my case, 3 days). The sweet smells, photographs, personal items, etc. bring our loved ones right to the present and make you feel as if they are there with you....maybe they are! Maybe you don't understand this part at all, maybe you just love the sugar skulls, in any case...it's a gorgeous holiday and one we love to dress up for!

Glam Affair has an awesome release for the new round of Collabor88. These lovely appliers for Lelutka Mesh Head stole my heart! There's several different styles but this was one of my favs. Here are the others!

The roses on my head are also available at Collabor88 so don't forget to grab those while you're there! (along with alll the other things! I loved this round!)

I was so happy that when I hopped over to Livid, I walked right into this whole setup. It made taking the picture all that more easy. If you're looking for any Dia De Los Muertos decor, that's the place you want to head over to!

Hope you all have an amazing weekend! Go go play grabby hands at C88, or try to haha. I know the struggle trying to get in is real! <3

Step Into My Coffin

{Taken at Chippiannook Cemetery}

Hello luvs! 

Hope everyone has had an awesome weekend. Mine has been a relaxing one, which is just what I needed after an all too long work week AND catching some darn cold! *sneezes* It's okay, I am feeling a little better now!

Remarkable Oblivion released these awesome shoes for Kustom 9 and I hope everyone has been over there and snagged them! I fell in love with them. Can't take them off! Especially my darklings. The heel of the shoe is an adorbs little coffin and they inspired my picture here. It's just a quick one. Something sexy, something creepy...just like my heels lol. 

With only a couple of days till Autumn and Halloween just around the corner, all things creepy are about to start flooding in! I for one, am so excited for it! I look forward to seeing and taking many creepy pictures. Speaking of, definitely check out the lil cemetery I ran into! Small, quiet, lag free and decorated pretty awesome for all your graveyard pics! Linked right under my pic above <3

Also, I have Dark Passions on my nails. My manicure is from one event and the pedicure is from another lol. What can I say? I like mix n' match and I love my Dark Passions! Here's a closie!

The Watchmakers Apprentice

Hello Lords & Ladies!
There's nothing I love more than a Steampunk post! Okay...well, a Goth post too. Okay, okay there's several things I love but anyway as you all know Steampunk is one of the absolute favs!
There's a lil event that just opened recently it's the Mesh Avenue- Sepsteamber Steampunk Event and it runs from the 10th through the 30th so you have some time to go in there and browse around. I know there are several cute things you will love all over and this outfit is one of them! The boots that are available are also so cute. Here's a closie...

I love the detail in these boots. The embroidery is very realistic! Petite Mort is definitely one of the stops you will want to make. Oh and check out the whole sim! It is quite gorgeous with its airships and other little sights to enjoy.

So in case it isn't obvious, I should say that I edited the dress in the top pic to look like it was draped over my knee. Mesh in Second Life isn't friendly enough to work with us like that but I had a picture in mind and I couldn't see it happening it any other way. So there you go!
I have lots to show so I will be seeing you again shortly! <3333

It's Time For Tea!

Ooooh my goodness, all the Alice in Wonderland pics ever! It's a good thing though! I don't know about you but I can never get enough of it. I love to see the many interpretations from both designers and bloggers. We style things differently, photograph it differently and in the end we all agree that 'We're All Mad Here!'.
The Alice In Sexyland Event started yesterday and like I said, the variety of things for you to choose from is vast! From clothes to poses, make-up and manicures and everything in between. Make sure to whip allll the way around it because the landmark will only drop you right in the center but there's a lot more to it!
It seems a lot of us found this super adorbs hair that is currently at The Arcade to be very Alice! I was  flipping through many different styles actually and when this one was plopped on, well...it stayed!
I have a lot to show you from this lil event so stay tuned <3

"I'm Taking Control, I'll Assimilate Your Soul, I Will Rule Your Mind..."

I am sure you have all heard me many times go on my lil rants about how Goth in SL needs to 'evolve'...by saying that, I am usually talking about the flexi that has stayed in a lot of the clothes, system clothes (although when done right with appliers can be great!).
Also thinking outside of the box. In EVERY genre, not only Goth...the best thing we can do is put things together because WE like it. Because it feels and looks great to YOU. Regardless if some asshole is sitting there telling you how crappy it looks, how they don't like it, how they would never wear it, how it looks ridiculous, etc etc. That is THEIR point of view and not yours. You will find that they often wear things that you just shake your head at and wonder what the hell they were thinking when they put that together. It's all about perspective and everyone has a different one. What I wish is that more people were aware at just how rude they are when voicing theirs. Not everyone has to agree with your perspective, and you cannot force them to. What you will end up doing, if that person is like me, is pushing them away. So...careful of your words. Honest opinions are always a good things but never force your personal style/views etc. on anyone.
One of my recent obsessions has been a newer blogger named Judas. Of course he's sexy, Do I have to point that out? That's obvious but far beyond that is his sense of style. Quite honestly, it's like one I have not seen before. It's edgy, it's goth and sometimes not, it's Androgynous and sometimes not, it's unique, it's incredibly sexy....quite simply put, I can't think of a better person who's claws I'd rather have on my bewbage than his! He's not afraid to wear guyliner, nail polish and heels...I just adore it! So, love all over his blog, as it is male AND female friendly!  <3 your Judas! You can put your claws on me any day! Check out his blog, bookmark it and luff the fluff out of it!

Elven Sanctuary {Fantasy Faire 2015}

{Taken Here}

With over $5 Million Linden raised so far for Relay for Life, Fantasy Faire has been ah-may-zin! I wish I had all the time in the world, there was certainly a whole lot more I would have loved to show you. I hope that you've all been there by now and had a good time participating in the events, shopping for a good cause and enjoying the incredible scenery.

Each sim is just so well put together, I seriously could take fantasy themed pictures there all day for several months and not get bored and have them all look different! 

So they gave us some blogger challenges and last year I took up a couple. I talked about the first time I heard of cancer. It is definitely something I will never forget. This years challenge, I thought I would tap into a little bit of the  roleplay side of me which is one I used to show a lot more in the beginning of Gia's World and not so much now as I am always feeling rushed between this and real life. SO...this blogger challenge states: Faire Folk- Create a character from the Fairelands. Pick one of the Faire sims as their home, make a look mostly from Faire items, make the character come alive. Take at least one picture of that character in the chosen home sim and blog away!

My character is Daneilea. Born of the Sylvan pride. Princess and heir to the throne. Great Priestess of Arcane Sorcery. Her days are filled with magick, music and love. The love she has for her family, her over protective father and brothers, the people of The Sylvan of Spells and her homeland.

Although I could get on for days about what Daneilea does with her time or how she uses her magick, I still have lots to show and so little time so! Moving forward...
We are on our last days of Fantasy Faire so make sure to pay it a visit soon if you haven't yet!

"She Likes The Smell of Gasoline.."

 {Taken Here}

Well hello again!

I hope you're all enjoying your week so far. Mine has been a busy one so I just keep repeating to myself that Friday isn't too far behind!

So, I recently got into watching "Sons of Anarchy" but like in a very hardcore kinda way. I watched a few episodes back when and it just didn't catch my attention. Some of my friends kept telling me to try again and so finally after several months I did. Right now, I love it...even though my crush is...no longer a part of the show *SIGH!*. So my new SOA obsession heavily inspired my picture, along with the Reverends song, which I will link below. Of course, DRBC had to show me these sexeh boots, I paired them up with a sexeh jacket from Dark Passions and felt ready to be an 'old lady', as they refer to their women in Sons of Anarchy. These kickass boots come in several different prints and I am sure you will see them again in the blog because, she made latex ones that are to die for! Head over to the DRBC Flickr Pool or DRBC on Facebook to see the other options!

This jacket is a part of the Black Fashion Fair and is only out for 2 more days I think and then it's gone. GONE FOREVER! So run, run now while you have a chance!! (or before she brings it back to the store without the discount lol) There is another plated version as well but Gia likes black and blacker on black so, there's that. 

I fell in love with the skin by AlterEgo. It is currently at Suicide Dollz, which I will also link below. It has a ton of lipstick options, the make up on it is nice and gothy looking and the detail on the skin is gorgeous. Make sure to grab a demo and give it a go!

Okay enough chatter. I have tons to do still and so little time. So much pretties to show though!

Be right back!

 {Taken at Fantasy Faire-Spires of Andolys}

Okay so yes, it took me a couple of days to finally blog all of this but oooooh my gosh! The amount of things that have taken my breath away at the Fantasy Faire...I just can't put into words. Admittedly, I was in fact overwhelmed. Like, where do you start with so much awesome? 

I love events in SL. But I love them even more when they serve a purpose.  If you're not sure what Fantasy Faire is about, please do inform yourself! Click on the link there and see why this event gives us all such a great reason to go shopping and snag some awesome things.

I was blown away with the Spires of Andolys sim, well all of the sims were lovely! This one has a  fairy tale theme going on. In my picture above, I am playing around in the Lost Boys hideout by DRD! Yep, no zombies or gore this round DRD lovers! It's all fairy tale stuff.

I was able to take a few pictures of some of the other things that caught my eye while there. So many awesome views so, I really do hope that you've went there to not only shop but enjoy the views!

This lovely caught my eye right away. I just loved the pose and well, she's a mermaid, need I say more?

I obviously had a blast playing with my pics in Photoshop but even without the editing, the scenes are flawless and will have your jaw dropping too. Promise! Also...we are 240K from hitting 3.5 MILLION linden! <--That is JUST in!

Okay, I have so much more to show, so little time. So see you all again soon!

Did everyone already hit up Collabor88? Yas?! I was glad to see that it was 'Punk' themed and at the same time sad because as a good friend of mine said, "Punk is a way of life, not a style". I was also sad to see the LACK of Joan Jett! UGH Here, fail cards for everyone that missed it but yay for Nylon for including my woman!!

In any case though, regardless of the theme, there is always something I will want at Collabor88. I loved the Tableau hair, even though I hate the band it was named after haha. 

Of course Remarkable Oblivion is there with some absolutely gorgeous shoesies also a collar and earring set and once again I will say that the texture work for RO is just hands down some of the best damn work you will see on the grid!

I paired it all up with one of my sponsors who is also one of the only REAL 'punks' I know in SL and I so wish he could have been a part of that event. With some more amazing texturing and uniqueness, FK Designs is definitely a shop you will want to hit up.

I still have so much stuff to show you from everythaaang so keepin' all things short and keepin' it punk \o/ See you soon!

Down On the West Coast... {Skindustrial Bodyworks-SkinFair 2015}

{Taken Here}

Skin Fair this year for me was a challenge...only because last year I had a lot more time to focus on the blog than I do right now. Also because I think I've grown a bit more as a blogger. I realized where my faults were last year but they're all a learning experience. I wanted this one to be more about the skin and less about anything else.

The skin I am in right now well, I am bias. I kind of love love the creator because she is simply an amazing woman and it shows through her work which was exceptional this year! I think one of my favorite things about Skindustrial Bodyworks skins is the highlights. It has a glow on it that just makes it a cake walk when taking pics. No editing needed! I pretty much edited allll around the skin and let the skin do its own job. Also the appliers for loud mouth and Nyam or darn flawless. And yeah, appliers...she makes alll the appliers so that makes Gia a happy girl (even though I know it drives the skin makers nuts! But we love you all long time for it!)

This skin comes in a few different shades which I will show you here in a fancy shmancy flashy thiny (unedited) and gorgeous!

Even though I love my pale skins...I was actually walking around for a good while in the darker tanned tone. They're just so gorgeous! 

Walking around at this beach mind you...which I've been camping out at for a few days because it's still cold where I am so yes, I am California Dreamin'!

If you don't know Skindustrial Bodyworks, this is a great time to head over to the Skin Fair while it's still around (till the 29th!), grab some demos and grab the goodies! Also click the link and show her facebook page some luvin' and keep yourself updated with new releases!

I'm already working on another post! I'll be back soon! Luff yew!

May The Sun Bring You New Energy By Day.. {Skin Fair 2015}

{Taken Here}

One of the challenges that was proposed to us in the SL Bloggers group during the Skin Fair Event, was to take on a skin from a creator that you weren't familiar with. This was actually hard for me to do for many reasons. So after like my sixth time back, a friend of mine pointed out this booth with Zoul skins and I tried on demo's and I loved them. My friends eye for skin was right!

I love the detail and the highlights on the skin. The eyebrows were another fav on these skins as well.  The body applier I was given was for the EVE mesh body, which I don't own and hadn't even heard of but I did find Omega appliers in the main store and so I used my skin on my Maitreya body instead, still gorgeous as ever and rather flawless! The tones are very rich in color, with two exclusives available, one being soft and the other being more on the dramatic side but both absolutely gorgeous! I made some gifs so you can see some flashy stuff and see the different shades of Zoul!

This one is called 'Gina' and was the one I liked first. It is softer, eyebrows and highlights as you can see...

The second one is called 'Della' and is the one that is a bit more dramatic. The eyebrows are more defined and I loved that!

So glad I decided to go ahead and give an unfamiliar skin a shot. If you are not familiar with Zoul,, now would be a great time to head over to Skin Fair and grab some demos and fall in love with it yourself! 

This is kind of like my 'coming out' party lol. I am forever worried about posting nude stuff and always find lil ways to hide it, editing or poses, etc but this time, with this picture...I felt it just needed to be. So, let me say sorry not sorry for the bewbs! I very much enjoyed being one with nature and connecting with my roots, even if it was in a game. Hell, I had the music going and everything, it was good!

Okay dolls, back soon with more stuff & thangs!

"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!
