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

"Meet Me In Outer Space..."

{These Photos Taken at Hangars Liquides}

Oh we've reached another week and inching closer to the end of the month which will be the end of Future Wave so I hope you all have had a chance to make your rounds, grab a few things and enjoy the view. I loved the setup this year!

Just like last year, when doing this event, I like to ask myself what life would be like in the future. What things would we have to change? What advances in technology might be made to make our lives easier? When I was younger, I remember being told by 2000 we'd be in hover cars and all kinds of other stuff. We have a ways to go before we see that in our every day life but...we're making progress! 

So Swagga released a nice lil wing set that I thought would make a cute match with my Future Wave stuff. In typical Swagga form, super detailed and very unique, I love them!

I'm also mashing it up with some goodies from Thanks For All The Nebulae which is at the SciFi Convention! Yet another stop you should be making lol. Don't worry, once you get these wings on, transportation will be quick and easy! 

Not going to talk your faces off. I was haunted at my RL work today by tons of images that I want to take! Some for Future Wave and some just because so...go hit up Future Wave and the SciFi Convention and all the other places and THEN...come right back here to Gia's World! Muahs!

Ladies & Gentlemen, Children of all Ages! Welcome to the Freak Show!

{These Photos Taken at Karneval Der Toten}

Before I go into the badassery I am wearing, lemme share my little adventure. I had ONE picture in mind for this outfit, that's all. So I was in search for the aerial hoop by Catnip....but Catnip is closed in world! *le sob* So I was looking all over the marketplace, went through it a few times because I was sure I had just looked over it or something but...NOTHING! And so I had finally let go of the search and was going to go with my last resort, a trapeze. But I took a chance and teleported to one last carnival themed sim and low and behold, right before my eyes in the perfect bloodied tent was the exact hoop I was in search of all morning!! I did a lil jig in my chair in celebration. Thanks so much to Cin, Trent & Krys for being super inviting, friendly and making a awesomely demented little sim to play in. I see many more blog pics being taken here! Make sure to pop in and pay them a visit! (Slurl linked right under my pics)

It's obvious my photos were strongly influenced by the upcoming American Horror Story: Freak Show which airs tomorrow! I'm SO excited! I have to be thankful right off the bat to my good friends Dizzy and Anika. They were taking no arguments and forced me to catch up with them, as Coven was already at its end by the time I got into this show. Let me tell you...if you're like me, and didn't get into it after the first episode of season 1...try it again. Force yourself to make it through at least the first 3-4 episodes and then give your opinion. The show is amazing! I'm so excited for what lies in store for us this season. I expect only the best!

I am wearing amazingness from head to toe. Everything I have on is snag worthy to the utmost level! My top hat is by Swagga and a piece of art is what it is. It comes with a HUD so can be this shade of black, white or brown. Corset by my hearts fav, DRBC and many more of these corsets in a multitude of prints are available at Suicide Dollz right now! The collar is by FK! Designs and was a perfect addition for my freakyness with its Cthulhu emblem. The skin was basically a freebie! I say basically because it's a group gift and the group wasn't free but is NOT expensive. It came with appliers and was perfect for my creepy lil heart. I will be using it again soon that's for sure. 

Okay okay...I have tons to show you with Vintage & Cool around the corner and yep, I'm blogging it!

See you soon and make sure to attend the Freak Show tomorrow!

"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!

Entirely Too Cute to Be Spooky!

{Taken at Derailed}

Super cute sim I found there to take pics at. Thanks to the awesome Melusina Parkin, who I watch closely on Flickr, I am able to explore such awesome lil places in SL. This sim had a circus area, playground, even a house that would be considered the quintessential picket fence house, perfect for a loving family with a lil kid. I loved it! Make sure to pay it a visit. It went with my general theme of just wanting to let go and remind myself what fun is like..sometimes the ones we learn best from are kids.

So on to my style stuffs....

DRBC is in Suicide Dollz this round with some cuteness overload! I hope you've had a chance to visit and snag all the goodies this round. This hair is a must, especially for my doll/lolita lovers. I didn't even realize she included a bow with a HUD in the hair so it's not featured but it's gorgeous!

I will confess that I am not too much of a 'cutie' fan, and I know that is a style that is very much loved in SL, I just have my own opinion on it. Spooky cute? Yus. I do love it. I love the gothy lolita look too so why not crunch? Can't blog DRBC without adding a splash of DRBC on the side so I dug around in my DRBC folder and found one of the older tops, oldie but goodie (with appliers bewb luvers!). Double Creature Feature because...Nobody and I do mean NOBODY does Creature Feature like DRBC does. If you're wearing something Creature Feature and it's not DRBC, it's not done right. Nuff said!

Though I searched high and low for the pair of shoes I wanted to pair with the outfit...I just loved the Sn@tch heels with it!

Ivey (owner of Sn@tch) always keeps me on my toes and leaves me in awe with her awesomeness (as a person AND as a designer).

These two ladies I honestly adore. It's not easy finding shops in SL that steal your heart because of their kindness, creativity, originality, quality (we can keep going here!). For so many reasons...attach yourselves to these shops if any. 

My lil aliens went perfect with my Creature Feature stuff. Zorgies by Swagga are at OMGacha right now and though I couldn't score the ones I wanted...these are just as adorbs! I will pass on all the squishy animals in SL for a nice, luvable alien!

Enough chitter chatter for now. See you all soon! And remember, all work and no play makes Jack a Dull boy...is that how the saying goes? You know what I mean! <3
