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?”

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.

Enjoy,
Xoxo,

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

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.

Hello again. So, as we all know, easter is right around the corner (April 24th). And everyone is thinking of pink bunnies, flushed cheeks and lots of eggs but, let’s keep in mind that Our troops ( American troops and a list of allies) are still packed in Afghanistan and are still at war and many of them won’t be coming home for Easter.

This post is my little dedication to them saying thank you in my own little way. Send cards, plastic easter eggs, panties, whatever. But, most of all, keep them in your prayers. Whatever they are fighting for. It’s for you and I.

In other news, I’m sure you’ve noticed my makeup obsession with two particular brands (my favorite makeup artists by the way) PIDIDDLE COSMETICS and LA MALVADA MUJER both of which I discovered via the KozmetiKa show case.

Well, while we are on the topic of beauty stuff I’ve discovered another new found infartuation; highly-detailed-tatted-henna-hands. The ones I have on in these pictures are designed by Tera Varriale designer of MEEs.( Also seen on sl’s marketplace ).

Sometimes discovering little shops and small time designers can be a pleasant surprise!. You never know what awesomeness you’ll find… probably things you might never see across the grid. Like this face tat I blogged here;”I think I did it again“. . Yes, my plight towards uniqueness-or perhaps madness-and individuality never fades. So, join me?
