Me, Myself, and I...

Because focusing on our own selves, talking about ourselves...well, isn't that what SL boils down to in the end? Making ourselves prettier...more appealing to the eye, learning life lessons, acquiring things, learning something that could turn into a profit for ourselves...most importantly, eventually learning to love ourselves above others...

It's a weird day for me, and technically not even Monday anymore, but...I wanted to participate in Strawberry Singh's Monday Meme. Maybe you can learn a little more about me in the process, because...I do enjoy talking about myself.

Before I get into the meme-ness...ladies, I know how obsessed we all are with our mesh hair, and how flexi is pretty much a thing of the past...but...nobody does curls quite like Ms. Neveah Niu of Iconic...and she's finally released a hair that she's been sitting on for a loooong time, and ohmygod...curl city!! The hair textures on this hair are the best that I have seen on the grid, and you can see just how much work and love she put into this lovely creation. 

Meme Instructions: Copy and paste the following statements in your post, completing them by writing down the very first thing that pops into your head.

I am...a submissive woman. Stronger than I feel at the moment.

I want... Inner peace. Calm, serenity.

I have... Very little, but I am okay.

I wish... my family wasn't as screwed up as we are(RL). That I had as good of a support system in RL as in SL.

I hate... conflict. Arguments. Feeling like my friends are angry with me.

I fear... being alone. That I won't find someone who is right for me, that I'll just settle.

I search... for nothing much lately. 

I wonder... how my son is doing today(it's his birthday).

I regret... the things I said to my father in retaliation to his hateful words to me. 

I never... have really dealt with a lot of my mental issues.

I always... try to have a smile on my face.

I usually... am lost in my own thoughts, especially recently.

I dance... like a little white girl...which means, not very well at all.

I sing... loudly and mostly off-key. I miss the days I was in choir.

I often... am really hard on myself for no real reason.

I sometimes... love myself. It's getting a little bit easier with time.

I cry... a lot lately.

I need... to know that I am not going to die alone.

I should... tell my friends and family that I love them more.

I love... cats. Zann, Adham. My favorite Boystown men.

A Skin Affair...

*Jumps around all happy-like*

What a difference a year or so makes...last year around this time, my interest in skins was still sort of...meh...but this year...omgah, I'm so excited and filled with joy that the Skin Fair is nearly here!! It opens on the 13th(so on Friday), and it will run until the 29th, soo...that's a little over two weeks! :D

I am going to be showing you the new release from Glam Affair, called Katra!

This is the first full release from Glam Affair for 2015, and I'm sooo happy with it. All 8 tones that Glam Affair has available for skins will be available to purchase(Polar, Arctic, Europa, Asia, America, Jamaica, India, & Africa). You have to purchase your various appliers and such separately, but Glam Affair has all of their appliers in their main store, so it's just a quick visit to the store and you'll be all set and ready to go!!  Glam Affair offers appliers for the following body parts and bodies:

Maitreya Lara(all of the skin presets in the HUD for Maitreya's body are Glam Affair tones!)

Belleza Venus

The Mesh Project

WowMeh

Slink Physique

Slink Hands & Feet

AMD Baby Bump

Lola Breasts

PhatAzz/CuteAzz

[PXL] SweetLips(so far, only two skins have appliers for this, the Alice from Shiny Shabby and this skin...but stay tuned, there will most likely be more available soon!)

Left: No makeup(except for my own eyebrows), Right: My lashes, eyeliner & beauty mark

I've been rocking Glam Affair almost exclusively for a little over a year now, and I have never been disappointed with any of the releases. I am head over heels in love with this skin right now, I adore the lips and the nose especially! And bonus points for the way the skin looks with no makeup at all, I could just as easily rock this skin without any makeup at all and still look fine. 

 On top of new skins for Skin Fair, there are also some really great tattoos and makeups available!! I was camming around and came across this store called .Things. and I almost passed them up, buuut I'm so glad I didn't. I found the store and wandered in, and wasn't disappointed at all. I saw this tattoo and knew...it would be mine. 

Uncensored photo found here <3

I love tattoos in SL and I usually change them up quite frequently, but I may be sticking with this one for a while...I love the way it looks on the body, like an underbust corset. Simply stunning! This is one of the exclusive tattoos for Skin Fair, called Incarceron...and it comes in two versions, a darker, fresh version, and a lighter, faded version...I'm wearing the faded version in the photo above.

This skin comes with Omega appliers, with an applier specifically made for the Belleza body, an applier for The Mesh Project, and for the Slink Physique! It also includes fresh and faded tattoo layers for the upper neck :)

So I know you can't see the shoes I'm wearing in any of these pictures, but it's okay! I went ahead and took a picture of them, too :D

These shoes are a recent release from Moda Designs!! They're called Tali, version 2...version 1 is a much higher platform, and still very sexy! These shoes are able to be colored 24 different colors, and there are six different sections that you can change...so you can totally customize this shoe for pretty much any outfit, and pretty much any occasion!! 

I hope you've enjoyed my post(that ended up being wicked long, holy crap)...go enjoy yourself at the Skin Fair!! omg!! It's gonna be so great!!! Get your skin on, girls!!! :D

**Updated 3/13: I'm providing links to both sims, for your convenience!!**

*SPECIAL NOTE*

The End of Winter?

Good lord, I sure hope it is. I adore winter, it's my favorite season, but...after getting blasted with feet of snow in less than a month in my area(New Englander, baby!), I'm ready for it all to be over and done with...which is why I'm so glad I took a shopping trip a couple of days ago with a friend of mine, and ran across this happy dress by Atomic at N21!

The colors are so reminiscent of spring...pastels make me so happy, and this dress comes in three sweater color options(a light blue and purple are also available), so it's a perfectly sweet way to welcome in the changing of the seasons!

I'm also wearing the newest release from Glamistry, called Aster! These shoes come in 12 individual colors, or you can buy the fatpack for L$997...my advice is to ALWAYS buy the fatpack, but that's because I'm obsessed with shoes. The awesome part about these shoes? A size to fit the Maitreya Lara high foot, the Belleza Venus high heel foot, AND your Slink feet are included in your purchase! :D

Usually I would build my own backgrounds for blogging photography, but my home sim hasn't been switched over to spring textures on the ground yet, so I decided to browse through my Flickr stream to see what I could find. I came across Strawberry Singh's Friday Find for last week(found here) highlighting a sim that is owned by one of my other favorite blogger/photographers, Harlow Heslop, called Blithe. So I went to check it out, and it was perfect...absolutely what I was looking for in a location for this dress. So thank you Harlow, for making something gorgeous and for sharing it with the rest of the grid. 

That's all from me today, dollies! Time for me to go take a nice long nap and dream of warmer weather.

This Was NOT About Love.

So on Saturday, I partied it up at Boystown(I practically live there, so that's no surprise), at the KINK event. Everywhere else on the grid was doing all kinds of lovey-dovey kinds of stuff, but this event was nasty, dirty and gritty...absolutely perfect. 

I loved my outfit so much that I decided to share it. I wanted to show it off, but I didn't want to build a set cus I'm a lazy blogger at times like that, soo...I went to [the chamber society], because I remembered taking a look through all of the different themed rooms there, and this one caught my eye the most. 

**Blogger's Note** Due to Google banning any "explicit" sexual content on all Blogger blogs, this second photo has been taken down in order for our blog to stay active. The link to this second photo can be found on my Flickr page, right here.

Quick note about the two events I have listed here:

This round of Uber closes(I believe) on the 20th, to get ready for the next round.

This round of Romp closes on the 19th.

So there's still a couple of days to run to either event, but hurry!

February Blues.

So...it's been a couple weeks, darlings! 

February has been a really emotionally draining month for me for the last ten years or so, just because I've had a lot of things happen. People who I love very dearly have passed away in the month of February...beloved pets have disappeared...friendships have been broken beyond any sense of repair...so add to all of that the fact that I am newly single, and this month just...eww. I needed a break, and I needed to take a step back and try to get my head in a good spot again, and I think I have done just that.

You know, even though I am borderline miserable in RL and SL at the moment and the very thought of love makes me shudder in revulsion...I gotta say, SL content creators really do Valentines Day up right...and nobody is as at the top of her game as Mariska Simons, the creative genius behind Blacklace Lingerie, the absolute best in sexy little underthings. Every year I look forward to seeing what she releases for Valentines Day, and even if I don't get the chance to wear her creations for someone special, I pick it up anyway. She didn't disappoint with this new creation, called Cotton Candy, either. The detail is always so phenomenal...I am always so blown away with what people can do with their talents in SL, and wish I could do the same as well. 

I decided to go a little bit sleazy with the shoe, just to offset the sweetness of the lingerie...and Eon of Moda Designs never ever fails me...my shoe inventory is quite large, thanks to her stuff, and I am always excited to grab the newest release :D Speaking of new release, this is it!! Bridgit is offered in a 24-color HUD, and the shoe is changeable in seven different sections...and the best part of all? This sexy pair of shoes is only L$299! Quite a steal, make sure you grab them up!

I said that I didn't have anyone to wear my lingerie for this year, and it's true...occupational hazard of being single means that you don't have that one special person to tease and seduce anymore. So...I just went ahead and grabbed one of my most adored and treasured gay boyfriends, Stat Frenzy, and made him get grope-y with me. He has been such a blessing, a breath of fresh air into my SL, and I just love him to pieces and back together again. During the course of this photo session he shaded me so hardcore, and then stuck a banana up my butt...all the while telling me that I'm the best ever. I love this guy's randomness and his ability to be silly when I need him to be, and serious at the times it's most appropriate, too. He is an amazing and talented photographer, so make sure you go and check his Flickr stream out right here...just a fair warning, he is definitely not safe for most kinds of work. <3

The weather outside in my RL is still super duper chilly, and I love to dress my avatar according to the seasons outside my door! This cardigan from Blueberry was just released today, and it just looks so warm and cozy...definitely something I would wear and curl up in. 

This necklace was recently released by Lapointe&Bastchild, for free, in support of the attack on free speech and the press over in Paris. Go and grab it, it's lovely! 

That's all from me today!

Ugh, that post title looks so lame...but I can't think of much to write this morning. 

So when I'm all out of inspiration for blog titles, that's what it'll be! :p

Oh, I do want to give props to the creator of the pose I'm rocking...Ritch Nicholls of Poseolgy is back to making poses again after a nice long break, and this is one of his older poses that I happened to pick up on the Marketplace. You can find his mainstore at the Boystown sim(I'll toss the link in below), and you can also check him out as one of the resident Boystown DJs, every Thursday night at 9pm SLT! Thanks for the pose, Rich! <3

Oh, and also...for those of you ladies who own the Maitreya body, there was another update released! The newest version is 2.1, and these are the things that have been fixed:

- Neck on tattoo layer full length

- Texture loading issue resolved

- Nails length no longer influenced by gloves on/off

- Small fix on toes

That's all for now!

New Year, New Goals?

My goodness, I've been a lazy blogger! But to be fair...RL has a way of picking a person up and shaking them about. Or, in my case...kicking you right in the taint. In the almost six months since I last blogged, I lost my job in RL, spent some time looking for work, suffered a severe case of lack of photography/blogging inspiration, and ended up moving to a new state. Thankfully, my sponsors have been very understanding(more understanding than I ever expected, and than they really had to be), so I say thank you to them! <3

I'm so in love with this new dress, a recent release from Moda Designs. Eonla does some genius texturing, and there are so many different texture-change options!

That's 24 different textures! 

Also, unless you've been living under a rock, you know about the many different mesh bodies that are now available on the grid. Before I took a month's hiatus from Secondlife in December, I picked up the Belleza Venus mesh body, and just two days ago, I also picked up the Maitreya Lara mesh body. I also demo'ed the Slink Physique, and the body out at The Mesh Project...but I am currently in love with the Maitreya body. The curve of the body, the shape of the breasts, and the full curve of the booty drew me to it over anything else, but I also am so pleased with the amount of alphas that are available. I've been able to wear this body in 80% of the clothing that I have worn since purchasing it, which makes me very happy. While I love the ease of having appliers, I still prefer to wear mesh clothing over appliers(with lingerie as an exception, obviously)

Damn, I didn't mean to go off on a tangent about the body, but I love it. 

Anywho, to the shoes!! These shoes, named Paloma, were released about two hours ago, from Moda Designs, and...as you come to expect from Eon, they're cute and wonderfully textured, with a boatload of texture-change options! You can snatch these babies up for 99L, at the main store or on her marketplace store! :D 

I'm going to make a point to try to blog a whole lot more. I feel the urge to do it again, and it feels wonderful. Again, thank you to my sponsors for being so patient, I promise it won't be six months between blog posts anymore. I may branch out a little bit more and cover home decor items, along with clothing and shoes. It's a new year, after all...time to do things!
