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?”

"And our crescendo will burn the darkness clean.." ( Pt. 2 )
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.
"And our crescendo will burn the darkness clean.." ( Pt. 1 )

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! :)

Anyway, enjoy the look!

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged anything. Back to school, you get the drift. Anyway, while i was away I missed out on the premier of MESH across the grid but, I’m sure you probably got enough coverage on it ( I still kept myself up-to-date via flickr and fashion feeds). I however was a little skeptical on some of the items released. Luckily you can demo your outfit or whatever before you purchase it which I think is a nice addition because, sometimes a picture can exaggerate the goodness of things.

Youmakemyheartbeatfaster

Here, I managed to collect two of my ( so far ) favorite mesh items. This hair by /Wasabi Pills/ and these thigh high pumps by Slink. The pumps I have to admit are exceptional!. I’ve always been a fan of thigh high boots except in sl (before) your best bet was to walk or stand because, once you sat down the beauty of your boots were out the window.

Gosh, so exciting!. On that note, hope to see you guys soon, and as always,
Enjoy,

P.s :: I heard about the discontinuation of Kristen’s viewer and my heart dropped. So far I have been trying to tackle with the picture taking capabilities of the firestorm viewer and I can’t say I am remotely impressed. I really miss Kristen’s viewer and I hope something turns up to help us ( photographers/bloggers ) with our picture taking needs. :(

Collecting shoes.

You know that question people usually ask, “ If you were stuck on an island what are somethings you would like to have with you, that you can’t live without?” Why doesn’t anyone ever say shoes? Well, at least I’ve never heard anyone say they’d like to have a nice pair of shoes.

Shoecollection

I’ve been collecting again dear friends, summer is nearly over and my “shoe” folder in world is nearly bursting at the seams. Finding the right pair of shoes in sl is like going through an old purse and finding a nips candy you had forgotten about  . Nips is my favorite candy, if you’re not a Nips kind of person, think of your favorite candy and apply it to the same scenario. Anyway, enough ado about nothing. Here’s the list of my beloved collection. My favorite pairs thus far have been ; 9, 7, 8, 14, and 2. Sighs* shoooeeeeeessss.

1. ankle-strap shoes in red by KAO

somewanttobeabused

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

Lamant3

{L’amant} may be another up and rising store name you’ll be hearing much about on the grid soon. I was absolutely honored when Yannick [Yannick568.Sands] contacted me in world to visit a private showing of his items which will be debuting on August 1st. I bought one of his avant-garde looking pieces as well as this lovely blue skirt which will be set out as the grand opening group gift for the store. ( still available )

Lamant2

Expect a lot of sculpts, hot vintage dresses and lots of glamor. I’m already excited and can’t wait to see what the entire collection will look like.

The skirt which is the group gift is honestly well made. I tend to shy away from sculpted skirts because, I have jumpy animations and sometimes depending on the item it looks out of place. So here I decided to make a static pose for this skirt because it reminds me so much of pageant competition skirts ( I’ve been watching too many pageant show lately lol ). I hope you like it. You can pick up the pose at my blog goodies store inworld.

Lamant1

So, set your clocks, calendars and save your landmarks for {L’amant}‘s debut on August 1st. Can’t wait!.

sweetestgoodbye1

At some point I am beginning to worry about the secondlife fashion community and the people who make all of this possible. Without a doubt designers in my opinion are a significant part of this community so when a tone of them start disappearing off the grid and calling it quits it makes you seriously wonder what will become of secondlife fashion?.

Such were my thoughts a few days ago when I learned Sweetest Goodbye will be closing it’s doors after 3 years. When I visit a store, I usually scan over things and if I had an outfit in mind or a particular item I went there for, I make a bee-line to that outfit.

sweetestgoodbye111

I decided to do it differently this time when I visited Sweetest Goodbye. I took my time, I let things rez, I debated between items, styles and colors. I am quite sure I spent over an hour in that store that day. And picked up a good number of beautiful pieces that I am pretty sure will stand the test of time.

( The yellow tooth comes with the freckles by Miss Shippe, I didn’t notice it till I smiled. Lol! Hilarious)

Anyway, without further ado, I recommend you heading down to sweetest goodbye since she is holding a 50% off sale as her farewell gift to her customers.
We wish you the best, Morphine janick, in all your future endeavors.

A loving fan.

So, it’s true I tend to get a tad bit over-excited about things coupled with slight enthusiasm about little things but, that’s what you love about me the most right? Right. Anyway, 3636 re-opened last week and sent out this awesome hair I’ve been wearing for the past few days out to their subscribers!!. I can’t seem to wanna wear anything else regardless of how dramatic it seems. I think I also love how well it pairs up with my wreath from wishbox. Sighs* good times. * Goes back to dreaming about bunnies and stuff*. :D
