"Disconnect and Self Destruct One Bullet At A Time..."

Don't worry, I wont fall! I promise. Has everyone been to The Dressing Room? It has been one of  my favorite stops for quite a long time now. It is is almost always guaranteed that you're going to run into something that you will like or something you can use. From quality skins, to clothes, make-up, accessories, hair and of course...poses!
I told you The Pose Shop was going to be a permanent in Gia's World and that is a definite now as it is an official sponsor! I am excited about that since the awesomeness doesn't cease and always inspires.
This window pose is available at The Dressing Room this round and it actually is a two person seater and though I started out my picture like that, I ended up having too much fun going solo! However, the two person positioning looks like this..

I love that you can be as creative as you want to be with it. In my picture, I duplicated it and added another wall on either side of me to make it seem like I was in some sort of high rise. Add window props, curtains, backgrounds, or vines, etc etc. Have fun and if you don't know The Pose Shop this is a great time to go snag some awesome goodies at an awesome price!
Back again soon, prepare to see The Pose Shop in all your faces <3

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!

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!

And Death Climbs Up the Steps One by One...

{These Photos taken at Missing Mile}

Oh my loves, my deepest apologies for not being here for you! But if you know me then I am sure you understand why. Halloween is such a busy time for my little family and right after it is Dia de los Muertos which we have celebrated for many many many generations in our family. Far beyond sugar skulls  and face paints, it is something we hold dear and sacred. From the feast to the clothing we chose to wear for three days straight. Music, altars, photographs, homemade candles, homemade sweetbreads and our family favorites. It's something I am hoping to keep going strong so that generations to come will continue the tradition. So you see? I wasn't ignoring a single one of you, that I promise. 

Of course I will come back to you with DRBC breathing some life back into me, so to speak. 

I had a chance to celebrate a lil bit of my Dia de los Muertos with some friends at The Rubb that always throw the best Day of the Dead bash evar! It is a day long event (literally) and attending their events is almost like attending class. You will want to bring a pen and paper and take note because these people know their music like no other. I always come back from their events searching down artists and buying tunes online! This is the outfit I rocked there that day.

I paired up my DRBC with a splash of Eudora, Swallow, Exile and an awesome Baiastice find! Grab em' and snag em' below and I will be back soon with more stuff n thangs <3

I missed your faces so much! *smooooooch*

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

{These Photos Taken At Pumpkin Town}

I'm so glad I finally made it over to Pumpkin Town! Such a cute little place that brought back so many childhood Halloween memories. Definitely pay it a visit if you haven't. 

So today is the FINAL day for Vintage & Cool and in typical Gia fashion, I had to sneak in a last post before it's gone and we don't see it again for awhile. 

I had to get in some Goth1co love, it's a shop that has long been in my Second Life, since the beginning of my days. I'm always happy to see that Keishi (owner of Goth1co), keeps involved in events, hunts, etc and keeps the shop alive. It's good to see the shops that were around in my first days of SL still going strong. Goth1co for The Vintage & Cool Fair had a psychobilly swirl to it and so it won me over. I'll admit that though I love love my rockabilly stuff, psychobilly will win me over hands down!

I complimented it all with a cute bag I snagged from The Little Bat for the Kawaii vs. Creepy Gacha, I love it sooooo!! Spooky and cute at the same time I had to have it on me. Speaking of spooky and cute, MishMish I love love you! Cutest lil monsters evar for the Tag Gacha  and I took them out to Trick or Treat with me in the top pic. To complete the look I rounded it off with a nice new pale skin from Skindustrial Bodyworks. A new bloody makeup set is available for this months round of Horror Haute and those smexy red lips are in the package with appliers for Nyam AND Loudmouth. The skin isnt available yet but will be soon and believe me, for my gothy and pale skin lovers, you're going to want it!

Heels by L. Warwick of course for N21 along with the other awesomeness there. Make sure to snag them!

What I wanted to say before I go though is that I hope you all really enjoyed yourselves this season. Try to remember what it was like as a kid. I know its not the same for all of us. Some of us are Halloween lovers and some of us enjoy Christmas more...but when I was a kid, it was alllll about Halloween. It was such a big event in our family. We almost never bought costumes because making them homemade was always way better and so much more fun. Anyway those masks from the 80's were a hazard!

That's what I tried to base my top picture on...the spirit of Halloween and never losing it. 

I am sure I will see you all again before then but have a blast, we only have a few days left till Halloween and YOU only have a few hours left before Vintage & Cool is over! <3

Isn't She Just A Scream?! {Ms. Zombcakes Special}

{These Photos Taken at Missing Mile}

"Hello my luvlies! It's Ms. Zombcakes coming out to show you something that just stole my unbeating heart! Have you heard of Horror Haute? Well my goodness, if you haven't...take a moment to familiarize yourself with it! Several of SL's lil creepy and spooky designers under one roof with prices that will make you scream and make the gals green with envy when they see you in these threads!"

Ms. Zombcakes is my favorite of my SL looks. She holds a real part of my heart and only comes out for special occasions. Don't ever be surprised to see me looking like a living dead pinup girl in SL, it's what I am most comfy in! When I saw this lil two piece by Skindustrial Bodyworks, it made Ms. Zombcakes pop right up from the grave! With the Frankie face and even cute lil Frankie buttons, it's a must have! Make your way over to Horror Haute and snag all the spooky goodness and prep yourself for Halloween which is approaching oh so sooon! It just melts my black lil heart to see the cute pumpkins and other Halloween decor out and about already! 

But oh and don't...for the love of it all, miss these nails by (of course) Dark Passions! I thought the black tipped nails were my favs but these came in right next to or close 2nd place! Here's a closie of them and my smexy pumps by the awesome L. Warwick.

But even that image just can't do them justice! Just go snag, go go!

I know, I know...lotta pics but can you see why I simply had to?! And that's not even all the prints! I just picked my favs. I wanted a series of Architecture meets Fashion and I had a blast doing it!

This is a recent release by Skindustrial Bodyworks. Although this lil shop can be quiet for awhile, when it makes noise, it goes BOOM!

I absolutely love the unique textures used on this dress. It makes for so many ways to dress it up or dress it down!

I even had different songs playing for each pic, Lowrider for the top one obviously! I've featured Skindustrial Bodyworks in my blog before so I hope by now, many of you have familiarized yourselves with this shop. It really is a one stop place for skin, clothes, accessories and other stuff....and not just any skins, awesome skins, unique skins, RP skins with appliers! (and yus I am anxiously awaiting her next skin release so let's all bug her about it!)

A Picnic & Oldies {Skindustrial Bodyworks Skin Fair 2014 Special}

 {Of course this was shot at Artilleri!}

Skin fair is still going strong and I am seeing some lovely pics of so many skins! I still have a couple more favs to show you. This one is by Skindustrial Bodyworks.

It comes in several different shades, all appliers included and is darn lovely! Each skin pack contains the appliers, different brow color options, cleavage enhancers *wewt*, face glow, lipstick, and freckles in dark, light and medium options. 

The freckles in the pack are what made the pin up girl in me poke her head out. As soon as I put them on to try them out, the whole blog was pretty much laid out. Make sure to follow Skindustrial Bodyworks on facebook (as linked above) to keep updated and give these skins a try. It's awesome to see how each skin looks so different on each shape.

My beach wear is by Has Been. Another vintage lil place that I love. From shoes to lingerie, clothing...did I say shoes already? Slink shoes! Check out the shop and gather more lovelies for your vintage collection.
