The hardest things are always said last… ( going on hiatus ).

As I push the 100 and something blog post threshold I feel myself losing interest. Perhaps it has a little to do with how hectic/busy my rl has gotten since this semester’s began. Like for example, I took pictures last week and I am not entirely satisfied with them but, I figured to achieve the ‘looks’ I want, I’d need to dedicate more time to the process… more time, which, I certainly don’t have.

So, what’s the basis of all this? Is it a subtle hint into the near future? Maybe… because, as it is this year will be an eventful one. I am graduating in the summer and making plans for grad school or pursuing a second degree. I’ll be leaning towards the latter but, I am certain my performance by the end of this semester will be the defining factor all around.

Oh, and not to mention, I’ll be moving in less than a month. Now, not to put my entire reallife out there because, I’ve always strived to maintain a certain amount of anonymity but, I think it is important everyone who cares understands the reasons behind my prolonged absences hence! the explanation…out of respect mostly… Because, I just think it’s rude to disappear without a word and not to the mention, the speculations that might arise as some people have no problem blatantly impersonating others ( e.g the never ending copybot crisis and the things in between) ~ of course, that’s another story for another blog post.

Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed my short ado about absences!. When I am officially back, you’ll be the first to know!

and as always,
xoxo

Video :: Heartbreak warfare by John Mayer
Lightning strikes
Inside my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain

Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It’s heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare

If you want more love,
why don’t you say so?”

WE NEED MORE MALE BLOGGERS IN SL!!.Annnddd, end rant. It’s been ages since I’ve done a blogger collarboration and since I enjoyed the last one I decided it was time for another!.

I think I can count the number of male bloggers there are in sl-who are actually male-on two hands. Of course, who can really blame them? Half of the merchandise in sl is geared towards females, except for, maybe that once a year make him over hunt there is barely anything out there for them. Which kinda sucks because, there are some men who actually put an effort into their looks and then, there are those who go the extra mile and blog about those looks. Hence, we just have to show our appreciation.

I got to meet up with Lorenzo Mixemup,blogger and owner of the blog Kid cocaine the other day! We got dressed, found a spot and took some shots!. Ohh that rhymed!. Anyway, I just have to THANK the kid because, for some reason my pc decided to bitch out ( Ha! no pun intended) and I literally crashed over 4 times before getting a snapshot in so, he ended up having to take most of the shot and during the entire time he was so patient and understanding. And in some ways I think that’s what blogging really takes. Patience.

Anyway, check out our swagu ( heheh, he says that on his flickr ). Kid Cocaine and Jumphearts. Aren’t we just the sexiest?! Check out The Kid’s blog for more men’s fashion!

It’s a beautiful thing when music inspires fashion. Such is the case with this look I sorta scrambled together. I thought I’d share it with you guys. I hope you like it.

Also, I’ve spent the last few days walking around with this machine gun leg as seen in the movie Planet Terror directed by Robert Rodriguez. Here’s a picture of the character Cherry with them on!

I think it’s sexy!. Also, Halloween is around the corner, it could work as something to help build your character! :)

Let’s get it over and just get naked!.

I appreciate unique skins, the beautiful ones, the creepy, interesting, hand drawn and so on. Fact is, trying on skins and making shapes for that particular skin is fun!.I may not change skins often since there is something familiar about wearing the same skin everyday ( that of course is until i get tired of it ).

DASHSKIN

Anyway, so most of you have probably heard of the skin line Esuga by Eilfie Sugarplum. I discovered her flickr stream last year (2010) and was intrigued by her unique skins. At the time they were in early stages and she was still doing a lot of tweaking.

Long synopsis short she released another skin recently, named DASH inspired by the gorgeous actress Stacy Dash. I took one look at those lips and RAN over to her store to pick them up. I can positively say I love this skin!. The lips are just completely adorable and the entire skin appears to be seamless. I do however wish the bottom eyeliner was on the eyeline and not outside of because, it made adjusting the eyes a bit of a challenge.

Anyway, because I liked this skin so much I went ahead and created a shape for it!. I have set the shape out at Jumphearts ( the blog shop ).

Hope you like it!

Please note : This is by no means a “brag” post. There’s an astronomical difference between teasing and bragging.

Ever seen or purchased something in reallife and you wished you had the same item in secondlife? Well, guess what? It could probably happen!. Thanks to an awesome project started by Abra Exonar on flickr. It is called, the SL Please Make this group. ( click the link to learn more about the group, designers are all welcome! ). There is also an in-world group, join it HERE.

So of course, yours truly had a request :) . I added this picture to the group. ( I found it randomly months ago and held on to it hoping that one day I’ll find out who the artist was. )

I even uploaded it into sl and had it on display at my home for a while. Here’s an old snapshot of me posing with my cat Bella and the picture in the background.
Meet my Bella
Anyway, so long story short after posting it to the group, designer Mae Liamano creator of ( love )  decided to give it a shot. And, *heavenly bells* this is what it turned out like. Can you say gorgeous?

TheNative

It should be officially released by tomorrow ( i.e: August 09 ). *Sighs* , who knew hair dreams could come true? * wipes off a tear *. Thank you so much, Mae Liamano. *sniffs some more *

It comes with a feathered piece which is separate from the hair and another version without bangs ( I am posing with the bangs version because that was my favorite ). There is also a HUD for the fatpack which has a wide range of colors. I really like how the pigtails turned out though I do wish there were more wisps, either way, Mae has done an altogether great job on the entire hair.

(click here, to ZOOM )

With the number of changes taking place across the grid sometimes when I log in I feel clouded by things such as; trying to find the “new inventory” button on viewer 2 or asking myself “ where’d they put that feature now?”. I think change is good and some research states that it stimulates the brain, putting it to use, which is always a good thing right?.

Anyway, I recently blogged about L’amant’s debut here as well as the group gift. And while at L’amant’s preview stall I also bought this fabulous all black gown which comes with the lace piece which hides the face, giving it some mystery.

I think L’amant’s designer has definitely done well with this sculpted skirt and I am impressed. As some of you know I am attracted to avante grande, couture style pieces so this dress was definitely right up my alley. The right dress always, always takes the cake.

My new favorite pair of shoes are these ones from époque. They remind me of a pair I have seen on runways and on Lady gaga’s feet.

Also, check out this posture collar which I got from open collar, free for anyone, there are tones of scripted collars just like this one there so if ever you feel like collecting a bunch of neck pieces you know where to go!.

Have you ever thought of wearing double eyelashes? I’ve tried it in rl and it looks great so, I took a chance at it in sl as well since, luckily we can attach more than one item at one spot on phoenix and viewer 2.0. I really love those winged eyelashes from House of fox I think it gives my eyes an extra sultry look. What do you think?

Fun and Fashion, Look #1

Windlight setting :: StrawberrySinghDotComTopaz
Post synopsis :: Here

This look was inspired by Lelutka’s latest group gift, this adorable hat hair which I paired with a nautical jacket and a flirty skirt. I have a major thing for socks with suspenders, I think these are one of the cutest items I own and they add a certain playful edge to almost any item I wear, love em!. Also, this skirt is probably one of my favorite items by blow-up. I would have turned around and taken some shots of the back of the skirt but, I’m pretty sure you can’t handle the “hotness” teehehe. Enjoy.

All American.

I’d like to say a big thank you to Aranel Ah the designer of BOOM for this beautiful patriotic bikini she gave out as a gift to all her customers. Also for the beautiful Nautical hats she sent out to all the participants in my little All American photoshoot, good times, good times!.

allamericanphotoshoot

I might have had a little more champagne than usual today so bare with me if anything I type up sounds a bit off ( I was celebrating darnit! :D ). Today is America’s Independence day and I had the pleasure of sharing an awesome photoshoot/moment with a few other residents who adorned themselves in BOOM‘s Independence day gift. The sultry bikini set we ( girls )are wearing, except for the sexiest of the bunch, Bouncer, the only guy in our midst. Notice how he took a convenient spot behind all of us? I’m on to you Mr. Bouncer! *laughs*.

What does it mean to be an American? Historian Philip Gleason would put it this way; ” To be or to become an American, a person did not have to be any particular national, linguistic, religious, or ethnic background. All he had to do was to commit himself to the political ideology centered on the abstract ideals f liberty, equality, and republicanism. Thus the universalist ideological character of American nationality meant that it was open to anyone who willed to become an American.

I am proud to say I am an American and even more honored to share this day with everyone in the world out there right now. 235 years and counting. How awesome is that?
