"Im Waking Up To Ash and Dust.."

{Taken at the Wastelands}

The Arcade is open and I am sure it is no easier to get in now than it was the first moment it opened. It is usually like this for several days (weeks maybe!), but I hope a few of you have had a chance to get in and snag some of the goodies! I've had a few friends that scored some awesomeness at round one so I am itching to get in there myself!

Death Row Designs is there and of course is as badass as ever. I don't know how so much awesomeness is crammed into one little machine but yeah, it's there. There's so many outfits and so many pieces that you will want so definitely make use of gacha yard sales and trades and stuff! That's the way to go I tell ya! And once again I will say that we are truly spoiled because back in the day, you couldn't get quality items like this for these prices!

So I plan to do a series with the DRD stuff, this was just one of my favs and the residents of Gia's World aren't surprised that it is OF COURSE a post apocalyptic outfit! Next post of the series is a surprise so, keep your eyes, right here!

Also, here's a landmark to The Pea's Arcade Yardsale, it's super busy right now and loaded with goodies so, have fun!!

Ok ok, I shall return shortly <3

One Against the World

Holy hells this was a post of epic proportions! Oh man so....Arcade is...what, tomorrow?! Oi! Everyone staple your wallets shut naow or may it rest in pieces!
The amazing-ness I have seen from so many creators has me just like, jaw on the floor and ready to hit the teleport as we speak! I am beyond excited. From hair to clothes, accessories, and home decor it's just...like I said, all out wallet wars.
Speaking of war...some of my favs will be there, some of your favs too right?! Death Row Designs and Remarkable Oblivion. Oh man, oh man, oh man....I couldn't help but create an uber mash up of the two since they went together like peanut butter cups in my book! I was fan girl flailing and rolling around in it all and I am certain...that this will not be the last time I will play with this set. There were too many pictures in my head that were inspired by it all. I know I lowered my pic count down by a lot but I couldn't help myself with this one so, I hope you'll bear with me <3
The quality and attention to detail on both DRD and RO's end is just insane. Gas masks in SL are a dime a dozen but none like this. I will hold it, and caress it lovingly. Also the RO boots...must I say more? RO has already made us shoes that we've fell in love with and this is no exception. Must have gear for my Post-Apocalyptic followers! MUST HAVE.
So I zoomed in on just a couple, JUST A COUPLE because I was already like...oh my gosh I am going to make everyone run screaming from all the pic flooding but well like I said...attention to detail.
So here are a few closies of my favs from the DRD set that will be available at Arcade this round!

There were just so many little things that I was like, "Oh wait, lemme snap this, and this...and this and that tooo!" So anyway yes, go there, attack all things DRD and RO and be nice and trade fairly, give presents to friends or love on a newb...it's all a good thing <3

Oh and of course...look at my pretties...

There's no place like home....even if it's in a post apocalyptic nightmare! \o/

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
