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?”

“… some of them want to be abused… “

I really like cybernetic looks and I think carrying swords is sexy so when I put this look together the other day ( yes, I have been walking around like this for a few days now ) I thought it was perfect but, when it came down to snapping the pictures, getting the perfect snapshot and location to get what I was trying to portray was damn near impossible.

Did I mention how much I love apple spice poses? Especially their action poses? I had to restrain myself yesterday while surfing through her collection but, I must say they were literally perfect for this sword.

Also, a good friend of mine, Onagh Ashbourne, who is an angel by the way filled me in on the new updates going on around sl. It seems like mesh will be rolling in really soon, by the end of August, are you ready?

In other news;
Elio <3.

It’s awesome the things you discover on flickr just by browsing through it. It’s one of the only ways i update myself on what’s new in sl if I’ve been away for a while.

Anyway, I saw the skin I have on in this picture at lucifer luckless‘s stream and fell in love with the softness of the face. It’s still in beta and he’s doing a lot of tweaking so he’s looking for feedback and, I volunteered! :D and even modded my shape to create a face out of it.

What do you think?
If you wanna try it out too IM Lucifer Luckless in world and let him know you’d like to try out his Elio beta skin :D ohh and there’s a male version too :O Ikr?!!

thank you luci

So before your eyes fall out of your head with my current look of the day I’d like to say a special ” hello ” to the United States Air Force Academy and well every other Air Force unit out there in the world. Thank you so much and love you guys xoxo.

Before we rush right into the look of the day here’s some food for thought, what makes a good student? Diligence? Perhaps hard work and dedication? Well today I decided to go the extra mile! and put in some effort because you see, I really wanna pass my flight test. *smiles*.

Anyway, on to the look of the day. Enjoy ;)

Spring-time SHOWGIRL

If you’re like me and you watch youtube makeup tutorials then you’re probably a makeup addict who tends to spend time creating various “looks”. After having an extremely busy day yesterday, I logged into to sl and succumed myself to the usual drawl of boredom. It was around this time that I thought… HA! why not make a makeup tutorial? You guys are probably “LOLing” right now but, seriously if you haven’t already, get on viewer 2 right now and pile on the cake! (cakeface would be a term used for women who wear tones of makeup). Isn’t that fabulous? you get to apply makeup on jumphearts AND learn new words!. Well let’s begin shall we?.I’ll call this look the ” Spring-time SHOW girl! “.

This, is the look we are going for. A heavy spring-time look, hence the colorful greenish yellowish layer. I am assuming you’re probably a makeup artist working at a MAC cosmetics counter? Or perhaps a show girl working on broadway? Use your imagination people!!.

SpringSHOWGIRLfinal

Step 1: You wanna start off with a clean base skin. Fresh faced, minimal makeup. I have on Curio’s Lustre-Patina skin in Sundust light. Also, choose an appealing hairstyle, perhaps Magika’s latest release? Called “Porcelain”.
Step 2: Start off by filling in your brows. I am using the brow base included in Curio’s skin pack. Which also has a brown version. I prefer thick arched brows.

SpringSHOWGIRL1

Step 3: Apply your eyeshadow color, I am going for a spring inspired look as I mentioned before. So, I applied this Papagaai themed eyeshadow from MEEs‘s latest release.
Step 4: Here comes the slow transformation. Where I applied some black eyeliner. These are by Cheap Makeup and called the gutter liner.

Step 5: At this point a nice blush would be essential to comeplete that heavy caked on look we are obviously going for… I mean, really, there might be cameras there (where ever you are going) and we don’t wanna appear too… hmm…boring. I am using cheLLe‘s Rosy Blush in #3.
Step 6: In this step I apply one of my most significant signature add on. EYELASHES, there are not like any other type of eyelash, they are the non-alpha kinds, so you can imagine the significant difference. These ones are #8 created by ^;^CaTwA^;^ At this point, you wanna go ahead and apply your lipgloss as a heavy lip might throw us into overdrive hooker mode. I am wearing Cheap Makeup’s Miss Priss Lipgloss. It’s a one size fits all!.

And, VIOLA!, add on your favorite piercings, and body modifications and you’re all set.Fabbbbbbuuuuulllooouusss!
SpringSHOWGIRLfinal

At this point I would like to thank all the designers who created the wonderful bases all leading up to this look. I would also like to thank my suscribers, followers and commenters. As you’ve probably noticed by now, I’ve reached 3000 hits. To most bloggers who have been around a long time this number is a mere wave-a-side. But, to me, it means a lot. I am no longer “blogging to myself” but, to each and everyone of you out there. You have made bringing each “look”, an enjoyable fiasco, despite the trails and tribulations which revolve around blogging, sl and taking pictures!. I love you all as words fail to express my gratitude.
