Just A Lil Witchy

{Taken at Netherworld}

Hey guys and dolls! Hope you all enjoyed the weekend and are ready to kick off a new week. 

This blog post is pretty special to me, lemme tell you why. My love for DRBC is no secret to the residents of Gia's World. When I walked into the place upon my return to SL a few years ago, I fell in love with its originality and quality....and then I met the owner who is now someone close to my heart. So, am I bias? Hell yes. There, I admit it. It's official. Take a picture, make a stamp. Now, the owner (Dizzy) is learning to mesh! I, for one, am super excited about it because...I've seen such amazing things from her already and when the possibilities are limitless, I think we're going to be blown away. The first all original DRBC mesh release is out and though it is small, it is precious! All my witchy friends will agree that it is another gem that belongs on you at all times. It is customized for Slink, but as you can see, I am wearing it on Maitreya hands and it was a quick and easy adjustment. It also has a HUD so you can play with color options. Just a heads up, this ring will remain on me, you'll remember, 'ah yeah, that's why Gia wears that ring all the time..'!
My cuuuuute shoes are by none other than FK Designs who has actually dropped a few new releases! I am just forever trying to catch up with these people lol. But make sure you head over to the FK Designs official Facebook Page to keep updated on all the thangs! The clown shoes are a new FK release you will want too!

I found this gem of a sim on Explore Second Life. A lot of bloggers have been there, especially on this train track so...don't be surprised if you see a lot of us here lol. It's an all around gorgeous sim. Tons of little corners, cozy ones, to take pics in, hang out or snuggle, or hang out and snuggle!

Alright loves. Lots to catch up on. I will be around again soon, until then, go show my girl some love and snag the very first all original DRBC mesh ring in all of its witchy gorgeousness!

Chasing Cthulhu

Ahoy Mateys!
Yes yes, Gia had a little break..it was much needed. I don't ever feel the need to announce it here. I guess I just feel secure enough with you all and know that YOU know I will be back soon enough. So far, it's worked for us pretty well. I hope I am finding you all in good health and stuff.
I stated in a previous blog post that I ran into a podcast I love. Not only that, the whole podcast world blew right up for me and since then I've found several. Another one I love is the H.P. Lovecraft podcast. It's basically a couple of dudes talking about the works of, of course, none other than, H.P. Lovecraft. I'm oh...kind of a Lovecraft fan!
Anyway, I was so excited after the podcast that while on break at my RL job, I brought it up and, silly me, I guess I assumed everyone knew Lovecraft! Nope, I just looked like a nerd I guess. nobody knew what I was talking about and so when I went into short descriptions of some of my favorite stories (Of course starting with 'The Call of Cthulhu'!), it sparked a pretty interesting discussion. One of my co-workers blurted out, 'Oh I read romance novels and occasionally a mystery but I don't really read that guy stuff.' .....Excuse me?! What exactly is 'Guy Stuff' when it comes to reading? Can you even label it like that and have it make any kind of sense? I know it was just her ignorance. Surely not all of us women are supposed to read romance novels all day, right?! Please tell me I am right. If that's not the case, well then...I guess I'm a dude! Along with all the rest of the women that love sci-fi? Lovecraft? Whatever she was trying to say. She couldn't really answer me when I did ask her what exactly she meant. She responded with a 'Oh you know, guys mostly read that kind of stuff.' I had to laugh. I informed her I fell in love with Lovecraft and that whole entire genre when I was just a kid. I had siblings that brought me into it but still.
It irritates me that THAT mindset even exists. It honestly has to stop. It's what keeps me from making any kind of friends in RL. It's so very hard to find another woman who I can sit down with and discuss for example Lovecraft, or my love for the horror genre or gaming even! Maybe it's just in my neck of the woods, is it? Do any of you run into this issue in RL or in SL? They like pink, I like black. They like Hallmark Channel, I am horror....etc, etc, etc.  One of the many reasons I love Second Life! It has brought so many of my fellow weirdos close to me and so even though they're not right next door, I do have friends.
So with all thoughts of finding Cthulhu, I set out on a voyage!
Remarkable Oblivion again just always amazes me. Enchantment this round is pretty epic so I hope you've all been out there to snag all the stuff. I know it's hard with all the events going on. Even us as bloggers (at least me, lemme speak for myself here lol) have a hard time keeping up with alllll of these events. I love them though, especially when they are themed. I think it pushes the designers to get creative and I love seeing what they will come up with! Dead Dollz was another fav of mine for this round of Enchantment, Cerberus Xing too! All featured here. I wont hold you any longer though, but will be back soon! <3

Voyeurism...They Like To Watch

The thing about watching is...it's naughty, you're not supposed to do it...and so it's a turn on (to some!). What you might not know is that the person you're watching, might actually like it. So who is the real perv? Haha. I mean, so long as you don't include murder....
I think one of the first movies that exposed me to 'Voyeurism' was the movie 'Psycho'. I was too young at the time to know it was even called that. This amazingness by DRD will remind you of just that. The other movie that exposed me to it was 'Sliver'....anybody watched that one? One of the Baldwins and Sharon Stone...pretty steamy stuff and so much voyeurism!
TAG Gacha is up and at em' this round! Such a great one! I hope you've all took some time out to enjoy it, and I mean that...honestly it takes some time haha. But I don't mind hopping around to all the stores for some shopping fun. It's always great to see what they will come up with.

Here is a picture of the outside of the Motel!

And here's some of my personal faves, unedited shots of the Motel. Remember you can teleport to a Demo that is rezzed out for you right at DRD! (linked below)

Good luck in snagging it all, make sure to check gacha yardsales and trade with people! It's okay to be social in a social game! Lol Sometimes <3

Regenerate

Hey dolls! Surprise surprise! Woooo hit the blog two days in a row baby!!
In all honesty, I've been working on this picture for a couple days though. The idea for it came to me as soon as I listened to a song by Fear Factory. As I said before, music inspires a lot of my posts. It was even more special though because it symbolizes a lot of my personal feelings right now. Don't worry, I'm not going to go in depth about my innermost feels lol but...I suppose it's about complete destruction and an attempt to put oneself back together again, if that is even possible. Trying to understand this machine we use daily, and reprogram it. It's a struggle, and one I am dealing with so much right now.

So I compiled a few of my (cyber-tastic)favorites in this post, I think the only one I am missing in Mystic Canvass! Everyone join in chant with me and beg her to come back to SL and make me all the pretty cyber girl skins! I anxiously await her return <3
But in the mean time...
Death Row Designs released this awesome little set for Erotigacha, seriously it's a blogger dream come true. No place to blog? Whip it out babeh! It has several backdrops you have a chance at winning in this gacha and each are pretty awesome! The one I am standing in above is the Sci-Fi set and comes with poses and special effects! The lightning is all part of the sets special effects, not photoshop. Have a look at the others.

So make sure you head over to Erotigacha at the Retroville sim and win allll of the DRD stuff and the other goodies there! Browse around the sim and enjoy yourself too! Really well built and lots of awesome events here and there as you can see. ALSO!! Erotigacha is having a photo contest! Head over to Spirit's Flickr to read the details and enter for a chance to win the loots!
Enough of me being a chatterbox for now. I will be back again soon! <3

The Reading

{Taken Here}

Just had to get in a post for my Dark Passion...or Dark Passions because I have simply been blown away with the awesomeness emanating from there! As I am sure a lot of you have noticed, Dark Passions has tapped into the Pastel Goth, Creepy Cute...whatever you'd like to call it. Though my preference for the 'gothy' side tends to be more black/bats/Victorian-esque and I didn't think I would be able to go there with this part of the Nu-Goth stuff, I am kinda liking it!

This outfit definitely made its staple amongst my favs and will stay in my virtual closet for future and continuous use from now on! So I hope you all too will make note and come shopping with me to grab these goodies!

Also, check out my boots though! Lindsey Warwick has long since been one of my favorite shoe designers in Second Life. The quality of her shoes NEVER ever ceases to amaze me. Like, this boot makes me want to reach in the screen to rub my thumb on it and hear the squeaking noise! They're not released yet so prepare thine grabby hands (a lil birdy says next week maybe!) and get ready to snag them all in all the colors. AND!!! They're on my Maitreya bodyyyy!

I've currently been in love with this Skinnery skin so prepare for it to be blogged several thousand times! And prepare to see these boots yet again in the all too close future! <3

See you all again soon!

"I Take My Time And I Always Win.." (Breaking Bad Spoiler Alert!)

{These Photos Taken at The Wastelands-Brookland Northyard}

Alright, alright...I know this photo probably has so many of you thrown off. Like, "Why oh why did Gia pose all purdy next to a head on a turtle?!" I have two words for you...Breaking Bad.

If you're a fan, then you know exactly why the turtle has a severed head on it (although it was a tortoise I think lol) and why it says what it does on that turtle. If you don't watch Breaking Bad then I am sorry...that you've chose to miss out on an incredibly awesome show with an amazing story line and top notch acting.

If you've just recently decided to watch it, look away! I hope I didn't spoil that lil bit of the story line for you. 

But ANYWAY! When Dead Dollz dropped this on me in a package called 'The Heisenberg Collection', I chose this dress first. All of the dresses are amazing but this one simply caught the eye (and well the name of course). You -cannot- hand Gia something with that title on the package and a dress named 'Tortuga' without seeing a bit of gore in the pic. The dress cut and style are so simple but so elegant, giving it a ton of dress up options and even making it comfortable enough for me to just kick off my heels and prance around like so. 

The awesome head on the Turtle is by 'Swagga' and is at the Level Up event this round in all its gorey glory! The theme for that event is 'Survival Horror' and I loved it! This head is animated with different pose options that will make you giggle...or vomit, either way, fun stuff!

My jewelry is by the ever amazing RealEvil Industries which seem to continuously be making things that I can put to use. This set is at the Jewelry Fair too along with their other awesome creations for that event. 

Coming back around soon with more goodies!

Homage to the Women of Metal

I recently had a conversation with a friend on Facebook about ladies of Symphonic Metal. Although it is a well known genre and loved by many, it is not something I see posted often on Facebook or talked about in general. So when a great band popped up, I was all too willing to jump in on the convo. I also have a good friend on Flickr who made many awesome tributes to Rock Gods...but not one woman was featured. I've never understood why women often get left in the background of the Metal genre in general, when they can rock out just as hard, and just as passionately as any of the men can. There's nothing I find more awesome than a woman on stage singing her heart out, sweating and head banging with the best of them!
Etchaflesh dropped this one on me the other day and although I thought of the many ways I would pose...after that convo, I knew how this had to be done.

This is my homage to the women of metal. Not only the ones that are the singers, but the ones that kick ass on instruments as well! We salute you with horns up babeh!! <3
