Be Brave - Blogger Challenge

So I saw this new blogger challenge and decided I wanted to join in. The blog proposes "Ask yourself this question… what is a look I’ve always wanted to try, one that for some reason, I never have dared?" Part of why I started my blog was so that I could be more adventurous with my fashion and share my combinations. As a result I have covered everything from Goth, to Geek, to dressing up like Kim Possible, to posing as a mistress and as a sub, to dressing up with antlers, to dressing down with only panties and boots on, to wild colored skin, to formal wear, and even dressing just plain casual so I almost counted myself out because there wasn't anything I could think of that I hadn't tried because I was scared to. (I do realize I haven't played with many of the mesh body parts or even furry avatars on my blog, but the first is because I don't have the funds to keep up with the trends and appliers and such and the second is because there is A LOT of modding involved be it fitting hair or a piercing or what have you and I have done it in the past before I got into this fashion blog but I have grown tired of it but hey I can pull off furry.) But I still wanted to partake in the challenge and after reading the above quoted text another time or two it dawned on me I've always been afraid to RP. I would start a look and start making the character and then shy away from it as soon as the idea was half done. This past week though I've worked to change that by joining in on an RP sim with Kaylith. "Remnants of Earth is a cyberpunk space western roleplay based on the remains of the planet Earth." So it is a sim based in one of my favorite genres to read about and thus I know a bit about the themes to work with. And well the fashion part comes easy to me because especially lately I've had a thing for the grungy rugged apparel with a more apocalypse feel to it. And thus Cinder was born...

While the fashion part came easy to me the backstory and actually putting myself out there hasn't. I am way afraid of being judged because I am totally new to this and havn't ever RPed other than little goofy stuff with my friends. There is soo much you have to take into consideration with your character even before you set foot on the sim with your backstory, and then when you do set foot on the sim you don't know anyone until you meet them IC. Your character is a totally different person with a different personality that you and it can be hard to make the distinction especially when just starting out. Luckily for me I have the support to back me up and help me with this new challenge.

Kaylith has been awesome and showed me around the sim some OOC so that I wouldn't get lost and so that I saw some actual RP taking place so that I would see what I was getting into. She even set it up so that our characters me IC right away so that I would have some RP as my character under my belt before she let me loose. She even dragged me into the sim TeamSpeak so that I could get to know some of the others so I wouldn't be scared of them when it came to seeing them on the sim and they have been awesomely supportive as well. The sim is amazing and well laid out. It is always busy, and thus a bit laggy at times, but what fun sim isn't on sl? Okay off to go try and find some more junk to trade in for better junk.

The Pumpkin Eater

Horrorfest has just under a week left and collectivly they have raised just over half of their goal to send to The Epilepsy Therapy Project. This is a really great cause and to help try and raise them closer to their goal I shall assult your eyes with another awesome look I put together using many items I found at Horrorfest or on their sim wide hunt. You shoudl definaly check out the event if you havn't already and buy some stuff to help contribute to The Epilepsy Therapy Project in style!

I do so love this Jack-O-Lantern corset that Dilly Dolls put out for the event it brings me back to my Kawaii side but lets me add the darker side that has gripped me firmly for the past month or so (I think Kaylith might be rubbing off on me more than I realized). And because MIASNOW inspired me to go wild piecing together this Make-Up combo with all of the options that she put out for Horrorfest I have to zoom in some to show you just how awesome the pieces are!

I had to use quite a few layers to get the effect I was looking for, but they were easy to overlay and they all fit together so well that I couldn't help myself when I played with them. And yes, my close-up semi fails as a close-up, but I couldn't bear to crop off the corset or the fun nail polish I found to be that final finishing touch. Although, If you head over to my Flickr page you can click through to see the pictures original size and then you can see all the awesome details including the eyes, which have a name that got me thinking and thus inspired the name of my post. Anyways enough of my rambles!

Somewhere In The Between

So MIASNOW just started to find her way back onto SL and I must say that I am quite happy and that it could not have come at a better time. I always loved shopping there for Halloween skins to take my look to the next level and some of her new stuff already has me floored. I mean look at what I put together and my pic doesn't hardly do it justice!

Between all her new releases and some of the oldies but goodies I hardly get to wear I totally feel like the sexy living dead girl that I was aiming to be! And you only have a couple hours left at most to get this outfit set form Sn@tch for only 50L$ but I urge you to do so! The skirt alone is worth the 50L$ and more, but the tanks are totally fun too and come in a variety of bright colors. So for 50L$ the skirt and 6 tank colors all mesh and in all the sizes you can't beat that! Just sayin'. But yes as I stated before I don't even pretend to do this skin justice so I will show you what Sae did to do the skin justice and show off the pretty picture she made for me!

Sae did an incredible job editing it and only brought out the better features in the skin and everything else that I don't have the patience, artistic ability, or finesse to do. I love it and just had to show it off!

In The End

So this outfit called to me and I really couldn't resist. Razor did it again and had me tripping over myself to get this new outfit that they released for The Seraphim Social book club to go with the book The City of Bones. I'm not normally one for showing off that much stomach without a darn good cause and I think this outfit alone is enough cause event without the added piercings that make me love this look even more.

I think I just might survive an apocalypse, how about you?

Come To The Darkside

WE HAVE CUPCAKES! Not really but we have brand new sexy stuff from a new store on the grid that I am sure to start blogging A LOT if he keeps this up. So without further ado I shall introduce you to my take on {DarkWare}.

Not only are his mesh creations uber sexy but he is a softy for those of us that don't particularly love to show off the goods. His corset comes with a nice tanktop to cover the boobs and has appliers for those out there that like the Tangos, but it shows off the nipples (You can see a picture of it here) and I will admit I kinda whimpered when I saw it. But anyways, we were talking about different styles and how bloggers show off the clothing and how I tend to be one of the more conservative bloggers out there with how much skin I show and how I show it off and as we were talking he was apparently making a non-nipple version of the tank just for me so I wouldn't have to go digging around to find something that matched that I would feel comfortable blogging. I know this isn't the norm, and many creators already do this or don't have the time to do it with everything they have going on, but Vox's customer service even for something so simple has just blown me away and he has a long time customer in me. But anyways new store on the marketplace = total win = gothy goodness = GO BUY ALL THE THINGS! *end rant*

P.S. cStar is having a HUGE skin sale right this very moment and the skin line that the skin in the picture is form is among those on mega discount. 40L$ a tone on the wall at the back of the store while the sale lasts, so hurry over and don't miss the sale if you have been debating getting some of these awesome skin from cStar!

Missed The Mark

Yes RL has distracted me but so has the newest (okay second newest since Thrift Shop Started while I was busy collecting all the skins) release from cStar. You want to know what this release is that has me all tied up? Well it is the second set in cStar's The Art Of... collections. This time around it is The Art of Neo Geisha and well I am blow away with these 100 skins. I will just start by showing you the teaser we all got. Not only did Jasmine outdo herself with these skins but Sabbian out did himself with the photography for the ads and all the models look stellar!

And front and center is my inspiration for this post. I saw that purple smokey make-up and said "I don't know yet what I can/will do with that, but I will do SOMETHING." Sure enough right before the skin launched, MV dropped a sexy number in my lap that just happened to be exactly what I needed for it to all click into place.

Don't ask me what is is that makes me feel the need to be edgy this week but I feel razor sharp between MV and cStar. Maybe the concert I went to has something to do with it. Yes that is one of those things I let take me away form the blog, but it is more fun to go to an Ayria concert than to stay inside all cooped up slaving away at the keys styling and photoshopping.

1000 Transmissions

Because MV makes me get a hard on for her latex especially her newest release the Widowed Collar I decided to team up with my fellow latex flunky Skyler and do a post abusing the wonderful MV latex.

Sexy Suit + Corset + Boots = Win! And then just for shits and giggles we took advantage of the 50% off sale at cStar and got new skins to play with while we went for the sexy cyber girl vibes we were going for.

I am not normally a fan of cStar's Heavenly tone for whatever silly reason, but after finding this gem at the sale I really think I was just being silly. Totally rock-able and totally sexy I mean look at that pout! I also found these killer cyber headphone/shades and an adorable shoulder pet that keeps blowing kisses to all my girlfriends... I wonder if I should be worried...

And then here is Skyler looking hawt as hell as usual. You should head on over to HER BLOG to check out her two cents.

Bad Reputation

Yes the new cStar skin still has me totally obsessing. with 200 different skins it is hard not to want to pull them all out and play, so play I have. This time I got a little Punky with my Goth and am serving up so "fireceness" as RuPaul would say. Yes, I am a RuPaul's Drag Race fan and just finished watching the season 5 premiere. So now that I've seen the premier I can get back to werk.

I really don't know why I keep forgetting I have these boots! I seriously LOVE them they have that rocker girl feel that I love and always look for but can't ever find boots for and here they are right in my inventory... And this dress! So glad I bought it when it was on sale at an event when it first came out. I knew it would come in handy and I was right! It totally makes this look werk.

With how much I've been bragging about and loving on this skin I figured it was about time I gave you some face. I totally love all the detail on this skin and how it just POPS! Not to mention the limited edition eyes and Lashes for sale by the gatcha machines. They totally add to the look of the skin but don't drag your attention away with their detail. It's a perfect blend.

Disgraced Dolly

+Blue Blood+ came out with another adorable mesh dolly dress the other day and I just had to show it off, and since it is Breast Cancer awareness month I decided to brave pink again for the occasion.

The beautiful PinkHunt skin I snagged from the warehouse sale of retired skins that cStar had for it's Platinum members goes so beautifully with the pink dress. Cute Poison has me being a total sucker for piercings with all of the different ones she has out in her store, and since I am weird about my neck/chest on my avi these are a great addition to my inventory (Especially with all the mesh outfits coming out). I have to have something on my neck/chest area on my avi, be it a shirt that comes all the way up to cover it or just my sweet tattoos or simply a necklace, and since many necklaces hide beneath mesh shirts and such, these piercings give me my comfort zone back simply and easily.
