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?”

As winter came, winter stayed.

As winter came, winter stayed. ( pt. 2 )

The itch to blog has began again and so I am vaguely back to enlighten your visuals with some pictures and this look. I meant to blog sometime before halloween and I am sorry i am late on this one but, you’ll have to understand, time these days have been quite fleeting and I barely get enough time to take pictures and then in turn blog them ( I swear some posts take me at least 3 hours to complete.. Nooo, not kidding).

Anyway, so this -is- or perhaps was, my look for halloween. i hope you like it.

As winter came, winter stayed. (pt. 1 )

Also,before it slips my memory you must visit this sim. Amazing barely defines what my friend Ona has put into it. This is a brief snapshot I took after I was done with the pictures. If only pictures could say the words my eyes fail to tell! *sighs* (oh! and forgive my half-ass attempt at photoshop! :D I wasn’t kidding when I said I was a photoshop newb)

Now, go! go! gooo!

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.

wanttobeabused

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

The most exciting thing about sl is dressing up like this and walking around without anyone giving you a ‘second look”. Another exciting part is finding the perfect “scene” when it comes to taking pictures. One of my favorite blogs to visit for scenery inspirations is avatar’s in motion. I have to admit, in my opinion, her blog is one of the most beautiful blogs I’ve ever come across.

Anyway, on to the look of the day- If I haven’t already creeped you out and scared you off-. I am having a blast with the makeup pack I picked up from Nuuna Skins’ store. If you’re into this stuff like I am, go visit her store and have fun drooling as much as I did.

Coming undone ( pt. 2)

Also, I got that dress a while back and absolutely loved it, except I am pretty sure it would look pretty odd with an overly active ao. Luckily it comes with two alpha layer options so your legs don’t pop out as you walk. And it has a few other options ( shorter and so on) Pretty awesome right? I have to admit, Violent seduction has a number of well made items!.

Indestructible

Hi. I saw that song on someone’s profile. It has been a while since I’ve listened to it and I just found it funny how it indirectly applies to at least 80% of what’s going on in my life right now. I think music just gets me.

Lately, I’ve been obsessing about taking decent pictures when I do my blog posts. And, after a long interval since the last time I used Kristen’s viewer I was a bit clueless. Luckily there are people out there who are skilled and “in-the-know” with this viewer and what it does!. Take for example Vivica B.’s awesome tutorial on youtube where I picked up some great tips for the following pictures. Also, if you are curious about the kristen viewer visit Kristen’s website and give it a test drive. http://www.kirstensviewer.com/ . Here’s an example of a neat trick it does!. ( remember NO PHOTOSHOP INVOLVED-except the text of course).

When you get into preferences go to GRAPHICS then ADVANCED and under MISC check the box next to Toggle DOF effect. After that, drag the bar near Camera Focal Length mm to at least 300 ( you can play around with the other numbers as well). Then click OK and focus on your avatar (alt + click on your avatar). And Viola! suddenly you have Depth of field!. ( Click here to see original size )

On to the look of the day. My fierce outfit made possible by Gspot ( I’ve blogged about this store a few times and her outfits are always worth it ).

Indestructible

I am absolutely in love with this outfit, it has multiple layers ( some of which are not seen in these photos) and the belts/ clasps/ and shoes are incredibly highly detailed. Once, I put it on I couldn’t stop drooling. Well done! just wow!

Indestructible.
Determination that is incorruptible.
From the other side.
A terror to behold.
Annihilation will be unavoidable.
Every broken enemy will know,
That their opponent had to be invincible.
Take a last look around while you’re alive,
I’m an indestructible master of war.

You’re a firework now, let your colors burst?

I met someone today who asked me about one of my posts and wanted to know if there was an irony behind it. I laughed and admited this was the case. Much of my inspiration stems from experience and random situtions.

Today, this faun/unicorn look apears to be the perfect anecdote for my latest cripted message. I believe ‘being different” should be embraced. But, never compromise your dignity to seek sympathy for your differences or short commings, real or fictional. Be true to your “weird” “crazy” “sexy” boring” self -whatever it may be- and make no apologies for it! . This obviously doesn’t mean I am literally a unicorn-even though I would like to be- but you get the point! Be yourself people!! we’ll love you more for it.

Now on to my look for the day.*does a prance, a gallop and spins around*. Yes, yes, I am enjoying the moment. I love those hooves!

I might be venturing into an unknown abyss with this post but, bare with me, I am only a blogger and the only thing that really catches my eye, if anything, is fashion and great style. I appreciate uniqueness, whichever community it is from. Which is why today you get to see a different side of my experience in the secondlife fashion community, proundly presented by me and of course sponsored by *{ SeVered GarDeN }*! (Thank you so much for your support, generosity and amazing creativity!) along with multiple-talented secondlife designers! Who have the daily courage to bring you amazing designs like these every, single, day… or week, but that’s besides the point.

Today, we’ll talk about Gor. Yeah, you read that right!, go back and read it over again if you’d like. As, some of you know, there is a large community of Gorean Roleplayers in secondlife. Just type the word “gor” in search and viola! a large collection comes up ( please,do this ONLY if you are over 18, as all gorean sims are rated R or NSFW!) Here’s a list of some pretty good ones in no particular order, depending on the kind of roleplay you are seeking ( but, that’s another story, which is not necessarily ment for this post as I refuse to touch on the on-going saga in gorean roleplay). Some of these sims are considered btb (the John Norman series) while others are not.

Ghost Outlaws
Ulfhendnar Vikings
WTF Marauder
Skerry of Einar
Black Pearl Mercs
Dark Sword Outlaws
Kenaz
Village of Argentum
Spirit Mercs
Kassau Mercs
Souless Outlaws

Feel free to also visit the Gor hub as well (which is active 24/7).
If you are unfamiliar with Gorean roleplay you should probably wear an observer tag before you venture there, depending on how much you can gather within a few days or more, they might let you in.

How did I come about all this information you might ask?, well, for the past few months I have been trying my hand at various roleplay sims. Recently I gave gor another shot, after a day or two I landed myself in a group! with the Ghost Outlaws as a “kajira” also known as a slave. No, it is nothing like the slavery of old which most of us have learned about in school and such. Nor does it have too many similiarities to bdsm as most of secondlife assumes. It’s quite the contrary which I have discovered over the past couple of weeks.

Anyway, all this aside, my favorite pasttime was-you guessed it! “dressing up!!“. Kajirae’s are required to dress appealingly or perhaps raunchy. I will be keeping things a little polite for this post. Enjoy!.

These pictures were shot at the Empress and Hierophant sim.

Dreaming about providence.

I’m in the mood to dress up like a mutating faun and prance around sl, join me? =) . I hate to be an attention whore but, I get really pouty when I log in and none of my friends are on!!!. Where are you guys? *makes a puppy face*. Some of what I am wearing today you’ve seen before, others are some items I discovered while milling about my inventory.Look at that panda!!!!! >.< so cuuuuttteee. Remember when hooves were in style or something and EVERYONE had one? For some reason I wasn’t into them then but, I got these ones anyway because they were so realistic looking and had a certain cuteness factor to them. Kinda glad I did.

Let’s paint our faces.

Today, I wanna be young again. Not young, like young, but young like a kid. I think back to when I was a little kid. I had zero responsibilities aside from making sure I brushed my teeth at night and giving mom and dad a kiss before I went to bed. Sometimes things get so overwhelming and I’ve found that my escapism is sleep or music. What’s your escapism?

Let's play house.
