Start Another Story

Well I have spent the last month thinking things over and have come to decide that this will be my last "blog post". I have been slowly fading already with my switch to working based on inspiration rather than pumping out posts with items I was handed, and I am coming to realize SL isn't the inspiration it once was. SL will still have a part of me and I will still be on once in awhile, but the draw of being on for endless hours is gone for me. I have made great friends over the years and had much fun, but now RL holds more appeal. When inspiration hits you will still be able to find pictures on my Flickr and I will probably still fully credit them there, minus the landmarks. But thank you for taking part of this journey with me over the past 5 or so years, no matter how brief or late your visit may be. So long and thanks for all the fish!

Saving Me

Well vacation is over, time for me to get back to blogging and I have to say I fell in LOVE with this look I assembled right before I left and couldn't wait to show it off. It was getting to be one of those times where my creativity was waning, but the Nu-Coven Gacha from Cute Poison and Kenvie put that spark back and I think I made it grow into a nice little flame for now.

Captive Audience

Some posts take longer to simmer than others and this is one of those that was made in advance and has to sit for a bit for i to settle into it's final state. I was goofing around after discovering alaskametro<3 at Indie Teepee and shopping for all of the things in their shop and this look just started to fall together. Then Kaylith insisted she be the one to take the pic and I had to wait for her RL to fall where it does for the magic to take and I have to say it is worth the wait. But back to alaskametro<3 while I have your full attention. I am in love! I was pleasantly surprised by the skin I got from Indie Teepee but the variety and color pallets in her store have me hooked and I will be coming back for more for sure! Defiantly worth checking out especially if you love colors as much as I do.

I Fink U Freeky

So today's post is dedicated to my partner in crime is finally reaching that age where she can take on the world legally and everyone better be prepared. So a few weeks back she posted this picture to her Instagram and Facebook and I fell in LOVE with it and actually got some of my inspiration back thanks to it.

But of course I can't just straight recreate that in SL, that hat, those buttons, I could not do it justice. So instead I took to capturing her spirit, the essence that is her and by golly I think I've done it.

And just to top it off I'm including the music video of the Die Antwoord song that gave it's title to this post because reasons. (NSFW really so you have been warned)

Azure Amalgamation

We are all connected.

I've had this jewelry set for some time and have been meaning to blog it, but I just didn't get around to it. now that I've taken a step back from many of my sponsors, I can focus solidly on that which inspires me. This lovely set from Finesmith did just that! Galactic comes with a headpiece (not shown), a tiara, a necklace, earrings, and a ring. I decided to keep the style simple... super simple, by doing an artistic nude. I used this gorgeous long style from Little Bones in her Gossamer pack, which are gorgeous pastels with dark roots. They matched perfectly! As for makeup, I went with soft, shimmery makeup from Zibska, eyeliner from cStar, and nails from A:S:S. Noteably the eyeshadow from Zibska is included in the makeup fatpack she has out for The 100 Block. You can get all of the makeup she has out in one fatpack, for a deal! To give emotion to the style, I used some tintable tattoo eyebrows. I couldn't find any poses weird enough for the concept in my head, so I made my own.

Inner Compass

So, I meant to post this late last week or early this week and then I got repeatedly sucker punched in the feels. This caused me to not be able to bring myself to do much of anything in the way of being productive and delaying this post much much longer than I intended, especially since now these earrings have been out for two weeks but they were so pretty I had to style around them, and since Boho isn't normally my deal I was happy when I saw how easily they brought a look together. I have to say I love what Plastik is doing and the pretty things Vae is putting out all have me drooling!

Walking In A Winter Wonderland

So it finally started getting cold here where I live in RL and thus started to inspire a bit of cold weather wear to sneak into my SL wardrobe and I can't say I'm displeased. Sn@tch has been putting out a bunch of cute sweaters as of late, and this hair form Magika is just ADORABLE!

Do What You Wanna Do

Guys! Guys! I can finally share why I was really slow to pick up blogging this month! The first week of December I was selected to take part in the December issue of ECLIPSE Magazine's Ways to Wear section. This round was special because it pits bloggers against certified models. So I was assigned three different items and had to come up with a look for each of them. Luckily for me that was the hard part, as the wonderfully talented Anderian Sugarplum was in charge of the photography for the magazine. So please go check out this issue and especially dive in to the section that starts on page 152 and vote for who you think wore it best! Here is a sneak peek at my looks, aka the 'crap I need to have a photo of these looks for inspection pose fast and get it done' pics.

But seriously please go check out the magazine, these pictures are nothing compared to what Anderian captured and put into the pages, plus I would really love your votes! You don't have to be a model to have rocking style that slays, you just have to have the heart and a killer smile.

Silent Snowfall

December's round of Mix has started! If you don't know what it is, it's a HUD based event where creators can put out limited edition products or products out for 50-75% off. For this round Zibska put out their Dylan outfit for reduced price! Dylan includes a mesh dress in standard sizing, a floral hat (which I sized down), bodice, earrings, a gorgeous necklace that drops down the back, and a texture HUD for the earrings/necklace. I decided to pair it with one of the hairstyles Little Bones has available at C88! Freyja is an unrigged mesh hair that includes a version with and without the bangs. I decided to play with the Gossamer color HUD this time, since it had a lovely white with dark roots. For makeup I went with some pretty pale makeup from Zibska and for accessories I went with a pair of my favorite long gloves and some gorgeous nails from A:S:S. As for posing, I custom made a pose for a nice tree I found!

Back in November I was invited to participate in ECLIPSE Magazine, but little did I know it was the great honor of holding November 2015's proust spotlight! I was asked to do three photos and that it could be all the same style. Well that's not how I roll, so I did three completely different looks. With this one I decided to do a look that was soft, light, and feminine with just the tiniest twinge of creepy. After all, I do have to incorporate my darkness in all that I do!

I was asked to do three photos and that it could be all the same style. Well that's not how I roll, so I did three completely different looks.

The Final Act

I know Halloween is over, but I've been feeling especially creepy kawaii lately so I had to slip in at this this beauty before I decide to fully retire my darker side for the holiday season. And yes I had it ready and waiting longer than I should have but with RL health issues in the family taking over much of my free time for the month I didn't get to spend as much time in SL as I would have liked much less styling and keeping up with all the newness popping up all over. Either which way have a look at what the cat dragged in...

Solitary

With this look, I felt like playing with Titzuki's Slit Tee! The Slit Tee is a unisex item, but it does not have a version with breasts however, it's for more flat-chested and androgynous looks. Make sure to try a DEMO! I'm kind of in love with androgyny for some reason, not sure why, but it's pretty awesome. So I ended up going blonde goth and playing off of my RL looks a tiny bit. I kept the styling simple with a pair of fingerless gloves for slink hands, my favorite collar, an older pair of stockings I had in my inventory, a pair of awesome gothic platform boots, and a thing little thong to add a sense of provocative. For makeup I went with my favorite combination as of late, which is an eyeshadow from Zibska, an eye line from Nuuna, matte black nails, and the lips are from a makeup I made several months ago but never got around to releasing. I'm probably going to release it here soon, but if you can't wait, just ask me in world! I really must bring some attention to this hair however... I LOVE super long hair and Moon put out one that's pretty to die for. It's a little hard to pose with because of how long it is, but I really don't care, I love the length and the quality of her textures. Also all of Moon's new hair is modify, so you can totally tint it for the PERFECT shade! I don't know about you, but Moon got +50 awesome points from me. As for the shoot, I found a little cigarette prop that I got from some ash tray somewhere, made my own pose, then set out for the shoot.

Fundamental Obscurity

Not much get me excited more than something that is far from the norm and unique. Well, the creations of Titzuki are worming their way into my dark little heart. It started with the Pitgirl Armor, and now it's the Spacejam suit; COME ON AND SLAM! Notably this suit is very androgynous, so for the ladies that really like to be busty, this is meant for flat-chested looks! The Spacejam suit is available in three colors (white, grey, black), separate male and female versions, and there's a separate accessory HUD that allows you to customize your suit a bit. In the accessory HUD, there are 8 strap options and 6 metal options; I opted  for the silver metal and the font straps, mostly because I thought the font looked really cool. For styling, I went with a half'n'half ombre style from Little Bones, achieved by combining the ink dipped and landslide HUDs. With eyes, I did the same! For makeup I went with my favorite sexy, smokey eyeshadow form Zibska, blacktop lipstick from Zibska (which I'm absolutely in LOVE with), and a partial face makeup from Nuuna. Fingerless gloves and cross nails were a necessity, but don't get me started on shoes. I exhausted my extensive collection of platform boots and shoes trying to find the perfect shoes for this outfit and it was one hell of a hunt to find them. As for the shoot, I created a custom leaning pose as I perched high above on a single dark column among the light ones. Now excuse me while I get back to slam jamming!

Whispers In The Dark

Fate has an interesting way of making things happen. In a turn of events, there was a designer at Penumbra Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015 that wasn't featured in blogging as much as they really should have been. I popped in to look at her items and was amazed, because they are a Gothic dream! La Nuit A Paris includes a rigged mesh dress in standard sizing, a rigged mesh jacket, rigged mesh leg warmers (all are Maitreya/slink compatible) and rigged mesh shoes for slink feet. Miss Anderian Sugarplum and I both instantly bought it in our favored colors, then thought, what if we blog it together? Needless to say I was excited, so we headed over to the photo platform to style. With a little hunting we each found perfect Gothic accessories that beautifully complimented this dress. Anderian styled this dress with a soft, wavy hairstyle that reminded me of the beautiful Dita Von Teese, dark lipstick, a detailed dark ring, blue tipped stiletto nails, pierced ears, and a necklace that is incredibly detailed, dark, and delicate. I love love love her style!! I went a bit more frilly with mine, using lacy wrist cuffs, leather pauldrons, my favorite Gothic cross collar, a lacy garter tattoo, dark cross stiletto nails, and sleek, raven black hair. For the shoot we headed over to one of the absolute best Gothic sims in SL, found the perfect spot, and let the shutters of our cameras do the rest of the talking!

Untouched

I never thought I'd say I'm sad it's Saturday. But I am, for it is the last day of the PENUMBRA Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015. There has been a plethora of amazing shows and fun festivities thus far, so it's time to go out with a bang! Why not drop by and join the fun? That and if you haven't dropped by to go shopping yet, you're about to seriously miss out.
I must say I'm loving blackLiquid's exclusive, which is a unisex outfit. It's a beautiful mix of soft and elegant, and definitely high fashion. It includes a rigged mesh bodysuit, tanktop, and pants that all come in standard sizing, as well as an unrigged hat, necklace, earrings, back piece, chest piece, shades, and cuffs. The bodysuit is very sleek, form fitting, with a nicely done loose fabric effect at the wrists and ankles. The unrigged pieces are very detailed, but no modify. However, they include a resize script that I found easy to use in fitting the pieces to my avatar. Overall I felt the outfit to be rather ethereal, so I styled my own take on it. I chose a soft pink eyeshadow from Zibska, my favorite eyeliner, face makings from Nunna that I tinted to match the eyeshadow, a shiny gloss from Blacklace, and glossy nails from A:S:S. I was happy with my style, though I decided not to use my normal blue eyes, but rather these pink ones to give a bit of a supernatural effect. PosESioN happened to have a pose with the perfect attitude and just what I was looking for!

Freedom Abandon

Unlike many, I am not afraid of the color green. In fact, it's actually my favorite color (well, more specifically chartreuse). This outfit from Zibska that is currently at PENUMBRA A/W FW 2015 is one I am not seeing a lot of people braving to style and enjoy, so I tried my hand at styling it. I actually quite love it because of how out of the norm this outfit is, even for being more on the casual side. Senka features a rigged mesh top and drop crotch pants in standard sizing, as well as two unrigged pieces for the top. The unrigged pieces for the top feature ribbons on the front and sharp looking spikes on the back, reminding me of the the quills of a porcupine. I will be honest and say it is a bit more challenging to fit the unrigged pieces perfectly, but it is not impossible! It just takes a little bit of patience. I decided to put my own dark spin on it with a pitch black bob cut, adding in taped guts from Sinistyle, demon hands and feet form Titzuki (which have appliers), bold makeup from Nuuna, and the perfect green lips from Zibska. For posing, I created my own since there was not much out there that came even remotely close to what I was seeing in my mind; anything else would not portray the feeling of this photo as I intended, even if the interpretation has been left open.

Between The Lines

I think it's safe to say every gothling has a soft spot for stripes, or at least I do, especially vertical stripes. Zibska released her Alise dress for the PENUMBRA AWFW 2015, and it made me positively scream in excitement! Alise is a floor-length rigged mesh gown in standard sizing, including an unrigged headpiece and bustle. I of course went with dark, beautiful makeup also from Zibska. For accessories, I went with this beautiful mesh necklace from Meva (which is high quality mesh, beautifully textured, detailed, and modify), a ribbon choker, and my favorite little birdie ring from Zibska. I very much like to keep my accessorizing more on the simple side, so that they eyes can easily travel over the entire photograph and see the beautiful details of the creations I am honored to showcase in my artwork. As for posing, yet again I created my own pose to capture what I envisioned.

I really cannot stress it enough that there are some seriously cool designs and creations out for the PENUMBRA Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015! If you haven't stopped by the retail area for some  shopping, you really need to. Seriously,

Valkyr De Noir

It's getting closer and closer to the 17th and I absolutely cannot wait for PENUMBRA Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2015! I was given the great honor to be one of the official bloggers and boy can I say I am blown away with the amazing creations I get to feature in my work. I mean, just look at this avant garde outfit from Du Jour and tell me it's not fierce and sexy! (This outfit will be featured in the PENUMBRA finale show.) This was so up my alley of style that my heart skipped a beat when I laid eyes on it. Du Jour's Valkyra Dress includes a rigged mesh harness top, rigged panties, rigged bracers, and rigged skirt all in standard sizing, as well as an unrigged headpiece and chest accessory. The unrigged pieces are no modify, but I personally found them rather easy to fit and position. I decided to style this outfit with a long, beautiful hair from Fiore as to channel a little characteristic of the ancient Nordic Valkyries. For accessories I went with tall, black leather boots, long black gloves, and this beautiful mesh facial piece from The Forge. As for makeup, I went with an eyeliner from Nuuna that has always reminded me of avians in its shape, as well as an eye stripe to incorporate shape of the top into the upper portion of the avatar. The finishing touch was some stylized, matte black nail polish and I was ready to shoot. Once again, I made my own pose because I could not find one that was similar enough to what I envisioned.
