Gettin' Witchy With It

{This Pic taken at Arranmore}

Hey luvs!

Just had to drop in for another quickie! I wont keep you all long. We've all had a stressful week and a quickie is always a good thing! But it's the weekend so wooooohooo!

So, FK Designs dropped these cutie boots on me a few weeks ago and I looooove them! I know some others released similar ones but these are the best and lemme tell you why. 1) Cuz FK. 2) The bat wings on both sides are ADORBS and 3) Fk kicks ass with textures! The shoelaces look like actual shoelaces and the snozberries taste like snozberries kids!

So over all, the outfit is a smash up of some of my fav designers with of course, DRBC highlighting it. I loves the 'Bitchcraft' on this knot shirt, super cute and very well fitted for Maitreya! I matched it up with the Ouija skirt by Suicidal Unborn and some other fancy shmancy things I just loved. Go play grabby hands and I will meet you RIGHT back here because I have another pic in the works!

<3 you!

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

Do You Like It? Keep Doing It.

{Taken at Dystopia}

Sometimes I have this thing with blogging, it's almost like an overflow of ideas. I have so many pictures in mind but at the same time...the set up, the outfit, finding the time is always a factor. 

I don't know if any of my fellow bloggers can relate to that. Sometimes by the time I'm even ready to take the picture, someone has blogged something similar and then I will just toss the entire idea out. I know, I know...I've been told many times I should just take the damn picture anyway but I just can't. The worst thing is to be accused of copying someone when you haven't....believe me, I know that from personal experience. There are people I take notes from and by 'take notes', I mean..I try to break down their editing skills and apply them to my own skills that I've already learned. Is that bad? No. I don't think so at least. I myself am all too willing to share any skills I've learned. And just how some blogs love to brag that they don't edit. I brag that I do. I don't edit my sponsored items but if I want to mess with lighting or focus, blur, etc..I have the programs and the tablet to make it happen. It's part of my enjoyment in blogging, we all do it in different ways, as long as you enjoy what you're doing that's all that matters.
Same with my style of clothes. If I like what I am wearing, that's pretty much all that matters. Everyone styles differently. Everyone thinks they look amazing but SL has definitely underlined the 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' saying for me. What you think looks amazing, might look like a big ass mess to me & vice versa. So all you can go by is your own perspective, as I do mine.
My reasons for bringing all of this about is that in one of my groups the other day, I saw a question about blogging and I saw this person being flooded with bad information. I just watched and read, I wasn't about to be lost amongst the others chatting there.
All I really wanted to say was,  1. If you're blogging for an SLebrity status or to get free things, you're wasting your time. While you have one sponsor giving you their newest release, you will realize quickly that you have to buy most things around those few sponsored items. It costs money to blog. It is NOT free. It costs personal time. And that's not all. Wall blogging is awesome but it takes a special skill to stand there and get all the views and favs you want. I think Petra Messiopetra is one of my favorite Flickr bloggers that can stand in front of a wall and make you gawk. There are many more too but she is one of the ones I takes notes from.
2. I As long as you like it, keep doing it. Don't let anyone change it. Don't let other bloggers get you down. We're in an ever rotating blogger world. They come, they go, they rise to the top, they fall. It's how it works. So do it all simply because you enjoy it.
And these are all things I still practice myself mind you. Things I tell myself when discouraged or overwhelmed.  "Do You Like It? Keep Doing It."

Okay okay end rant. This is a late blog as I was super sick the past few days but I'm doing alright now <3 
So I hope everyone has made it to all the events including The Fantasy Collective because there is a ton of badassery there including this hair I am wearing! Reminded me lots of Yolandi so tuuune in like a few secs here <3

All Things Witchy

This trend has been on for awhile though more recently in our Second Life....it seems to have caught fire! It's a good thing because it is a good style. When it's done good, it can be amazing!
I fell in love with American Horror Story when I finally gave it a chance. AHS:Coven was season three of the show and I swear it helped push this style right along. Creepy school girl kinda look? Pretty much! With school starting up, it was something that had to be done.
So Livid released this awesome lil gacha with so many goodies that you will need. If you haven't been there already. They should match perfectly with everything you will be snagging at Collabor88 which just opened at 12am SLT!
I was also sure to include the awesome RARE owl by Remarkable Oblivion which is at The Arcade this round. He's such a little cutie!
The awesome skin I am in is by Glam Affair featured at We <3 Roleplay this round. There are several different Lelutka appliers, this was one of my favs and it fit the picture well.
I wont keep you long today, as there are just a ton of things I want to show you and another blog post already in the works!  Have fun shopping and see you all soon! <3

JettHead Till I'm Dead!

{Taken Here}

I honestly believe...whole heartedly...that I am the biggest Joan Jett fan to ever exist. I know, I know...that is quite daring to say, as I know she has such a huge fan base but..I will be ballsy enough to say it! If there is a bit of Joan Jett memorabilia, I own it. If she's playing anywhere near me, I am there. If Joan Jett is performing YOU STAND UP! YOU DANCE! YOU SING ALONG! But hey, that's just me. I just adore this woman. Her lyrics, her talent on guitar, her dance moves, her attitude, just her as a person allll around! The woman is timeless. It's 2015 and I get goosebumps listening to her still and I doubt that will ever change. I've listened to her since I was a little girl and I still have the urge to jump around and get all wild, same as back then. 

Needless to say, when I saw this shirt by FK Designs I was just ecstatic! If I am blogging something, it is of course because it has inspired me in some way...but this look I have going on above is probably hands down one of Gia's favs. As a blogger, my look is forever changing, as eclectic as I am, so are my styles....hey, someone has to keep you all on your toes! But if I weren't a blogger, and I could just chill, this is probably a look you would see Gia in quite often if not almost always.  I'm surprised I don't see more of it. Maybe I am just not around the right places enough (and if you are around those places, feel free to nudge me and say "Hey Gia! Wtf, where have you been?!" The punk genre is one I have only in the past few years been exposed to, but one my heart seems to have bonded with right away. And you're not doing punk right if you don't have some FK on, I don't care what you say lol. So, having said that...this top came with one kick ass HUD...

Allowing you eight different options to be Jettastic, uhm hell yus! I've been blogging and changing back into this shirt over and over again lol. So go grab it, along with the other FK badassery!! Back soon with more stuff & thangs!

Gothmas Awakens the Bride

I told you Gothmas by Gaslight was right around the corner! It's here! It started! This is an event for those of us that can embrace the darker side of this holiday and all the beauty of it!

Right now I am feeling semi overwhelmed with everything that this event has to offer lol so much to show so first things first, I had to show some DRBC luff!

Though there are a few options for you from DRBC, I am showcasing this amazing lil gown. I immediately thought of my fellow roleplayers, and people that roam the medieval sims. This is a gown you wont want to pass up. So simple but very pretty. I ran into this gorgeous photo online and it inspired the bride to awaken and celebrate the holidays! So of course, I couldn't think of a better dress or brand to bring the Bride to life with than my beloved DRBC.

Make sure to click on that Gothmas by Gaslight link above to get your shopping maps, join the Cursed Shoppers group, and keep updated on Club Gothika's schedule for the duration of the event because they party hard!

But I will not keep you! Head over and hopefully we will bump into each other at one of the Gothika gatherings! <3

2181 Days...

{These Photos Taken At The Wastelands}

Our world is a vicious one and the fight is endless...and even when you think you've made it, you can finally relax, take that little breath and kick your feet up, there's always someone else there to knock you back on your ass. Welcome to reality. 

There is something to be thankful for though...and I really had to search for this one so, feel special. I think we've all read that Facebook picture that rolls across our feed several hundred times a day that says "Be Kind, For Everyone You Meet Is Fighting A Hard Battle", but look into it, think about it. It holds so much truth. Nobody knows what you or I are going through. I know, I can at least be thankful I've made it this far...since in this past year I've seen people who I thought to be far greater than I crumble under a battle I fight every single day. So hold your heads high, fight the battle, but be considerate. Be Thankful for what you have and for what you don't have...tomorrow is never promised. 

What is promised is that DRBC keeps me insanely busy! I'm like YEAH I can finally blog this! And here comes another release! Not complaining though! If I am busy so are you! All my sponsors keep me busy! The trench badassery I have on has literally DAYS left before it is out of Suicide Dollz so grab it before it's gone foreverrrr!!! (or until she puts it on the marketplace lol) And then keep your eyes locked on the next round of Suicide Dollz because it's a stunner! I'll try my damnedest to get right on it! 

Also, take your butts to Genre if you haven't been there already. I've already blogged a few things from there in my last post and my wonderful peg leg by DRD is there as well and it is a MUST HAVE! 

2nd pose from the top, welcome to a pose shop that Gia fan girls over! Yes I fan girl over poses. It's no secret that I simply adore my pose makers and even more so when they include poses in their props because for bloggers like me, it can take me forever to get pics done but their props help so much to create the mood and offer so many ideas. This pose is by The Pose Shop owned by Piper Patrucci who, thus far has been a peach and a half when it comes to customer service and random chat. From snuggly poses to sexy poses, standing poses, relaxed and kicked back on a chair poses, skater girl poses, cutesy Christmas time poses...you're bound to find something you'll like. Expect to see this pose shop lots in Gia's World!

Okay okay, enough babbling, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving if you celebrated <3

See you all again really soon! *le smooch*
