Lemme Show You How I 'Goth' {World Goth Fair 2015}

{Taken at Xin}

We are like what...2 days into World Goth Fair! Have you invaded it yet?! Hells, I was allll over it days before it opened, but special blogger stuffs and all, we're allowed to so there! So I was able to see a lot of the awesomeness though a lot of the shops weren't set up yet so I will have to swing by again later!

As I have mentioned before, RL has been super hectic for me so this was my first year in a few years that I decided to not be an official blogger for World Goth Fair. I didn't want to make any promises I couldn't keep. However, I figured I would blog what I could on my own dime and on my own time. I snagged several goodies.

So just to go over a few things. In previous years, World Goth Fair was a charity event for the Sophie Landcaster Foundation but due to complications that were outlined in the World Goth Fair blog post, it is no longer so. I know this saddened a few of us but I trust that Axi and Lokii know what is best for the event and for the Goth community in SL.

The month of May holds a grand day for us 'Goths'. World Goth Day is May 22nd. This is a day we let our freak flags fly a little higher than usual. A little prouder, a little more prominent. Enough to let the rest of the world know we're here, we're strange, we're dark, we're okay with it. Amongst all of it...don't forget we also love passionately and have feelings like all the rest.

I've went on many a rant about my views on goths and some of those in the scene feeling rather 'gothier than thou' so, I will spare you all. Just keep in mind that, like it was said in a picture I saw on Facebook, "Goth should be liberating, not confining". Are you Victorian Goth? Nu Goth? Bubble Goth? Industrial Goth? ....Whatever you are, I love all of your Gothiness, and that's simply how it should be! <3

I have a map for you to check out and make use of! But also keep updated on upcoming events on the WGF blog!

I've wanted to do a picture like this for awhile so I am glad the Plastik made the perfect creepy like skin to make this happen! 

Ugh, I simply can't say enough good things about the Plastik. Vae, owner of the shop, has always been super awesome when it comes to creativity and detail with her skins. There simply are none other like this at the Skin Fair so of course you know I am going to feature it! 

It comes in several different shades which I will show you below, and allll of the appliers, it also includes a slink nail applier for each shade of skin. Making your nails match right up with your skin tone easily. Eyes are available as well and don't forget to snag her gift that is there. Super awesome slink polish set. 

This skin is a MUST HAVE for my fellow goths, roleplayers, fantasy lovers, all around dark personalities! Go try the demos, you will not be disappointed! 

Although I had fun making my picture pretty, I don't mess with the skin itself in my pictures. I do fix the shape of my lips and nose if I HAVE to, because I hate when SL windlights make them look funky. That shouldn't be blamed on the skin creator. I used a high pass filter over this pic in order to let the veins in the skin be more visible, as the lighting I used kind of lightened it all up. 

However...the different shades featured below are unedited so if you wanna nitpick, have at it there! You will get what you see in any case! <3 

 

Okay, go play grabby and I will see you again soon!!

The Plastik gift at Skin Fair 2015-- 

The Fallen {Fantasy Faire}

{Top Photo Taken At Silent Eden, Bottom Photo at Sanctum}

Hey, don't blame me for going on a Fantasy Faire frenzy of blogness. We're given a few days to show you so many things and I just feel...so cheated because I want to show more!

The bloggers (and everyone else who wanted to join) were given challenges to participate in. One of them is called 'Why I Relay'. I wasn't sure if I should/would do this challenge but I think it's something that must be known. The challenge states that it "is for those who do have a personal reason to support Relay for Life events and who would like to share it."

Why do I Relay? Because I am damn mad at Cancer. I remember being in 3rd grade and having a friend named 'Sammy'. He was funny, loud, in your face kinda kid. We had this tire swing that he loved. He'd get on it and wave me over and I would spin him around till we were both pukous. Aaaaand one day Sammy was gone. He was also gone the next day and days and days following that. Nobody ever told us why, he simply wasn't there. Maybe they thought we all would only breifly wonder, then go on with our lives but, I couldn't. With help of my family, I found that Sammy was in the hospital due to complications from his Leukemia. When he found out I was asking for him, he made sure to request 'crispitos' from school and so I would smuggle mine out for him. We did this till my sister had to tell me Sammy wasn't at the hospital anymore...he had passed away. What a shocker for me as a kid. I never forgot him or his round face, most of all his smile. My cousin Benny also had his fight with Cancer and passed away in 2001. A cousin I was just getting to know but he was already loved dearly. The rage inside of me was more than I could express and so I didn't. I boxed it up. My grandfather, another one that passed away due to lung cancer. I never even met him. He died months before I was born. 

I relay for the fallen. I can't bring myself to say that they 'lost' their fight with cancer. I won't. They fought harder than most people ever will. I relay for those that are dealing with it right now. I relay to let Cancer know how damn mad I am at it. How much the world needs to be without it ever invading any of our lives ever again.

Oh and by the way, The Plastik made some amazing skins for Fantasy Faire. Seriously breath taking work. Don't miss them!

A lil birdy flew by and told me that even though the events at Fantasy Faire have come to an end, the place will stay in tact till about Tuesday so fret not! You still have a few days to go there and grab a few more things!!

{Taken at the loverly Isle of Mousai}

If you notice many of my photos linked back to Mousai...I can't help myself. The sim is gorgeous. There are so many corners there that are an absolute call to attention. Just when I think to myself, "Oh I love this area! I will camp out here..", I end up finding a place I think I love even more. Right now, when I am not on my bloggers platform, I am usually hiding out in that house behind me in the photo above, not the castle, the little haunted house off to the right. I'm just all about the details. Plus events and a sim owner that is a peach. So yeah, many of my photos will be here. It has become like a SL home away from home.

I'm showcasing a few things in this post. The Plastik made some lusciously beautiful skins for the skin fair. I've been a long time fan of the Plastiks skins (and the Plastik in general). With a huge list of skins to choose from, ranging from fantasy-type to your normal colored skins, it's definitely a place you'll want to visit.

These are the featured shades at the Skin fair with a bottom right closie of a included freckled option that I personally thought was adorable! I am not partial to freckles but these are modifiable and perfect. Very realistic and not overwhelming. Like I said, opinion differs but this is mine. 

Also available are...

Beautiful make-ups. And these are just a few of my favs. Another variety of amazing shades. We're coming up on the last few days of Skin Fair so make your way down there soon!

My pants are a newly released Sn@tch goodie that are super hot. No need to spend time picking out shoes because these ones have boots attached! Also available in leopard prints, I got them both. Too cute.

My cute Edgar Allan Poe lunchbox is at the MadPea Gacha still going on right now through the 31st. This machine just stole my attention when I saw it and I collected ALL of them! Then I stalked down the creator, bought more cute stuff at her shop and now it's one of my favs too. Make sure to check it out!

Be back soon loves!
