You Sexy Lil Bookworm You!


{Pics taken at Kowloon}

The Geeks n' Nerds Fair started and one of my favorite bloggess' did a meme about it. Strawberry Singh of course. I made my lil trip over to the Fair and did some random shopping...although some of the things I was hoping to see weren't there. Dr. Who fans were probably jumping for joy. Her meme, the fair...it all made me think of what this 'Geeky/Nerd' thing is. I've been called a 'Nerd' for so long that now I simply shrug it off but when I was younger, not so much. 
I was going to answer all her Meme questions...but, let me say it like this. My glasses don't make me a nerd, they only underline the fact that I was born with eyesight that is...less than perfect. The fact that I've always been a gamer is just me. It's something I enjoy, it's my break from the world. I love reading. I am a very proud bookworm and am known to pick up books at random (in your home, in your closet!) and read the hell out of them. I love Sci-Fi, I love ALL things paranormal. I love Dungeons and Dragons, I am probably more familiar with the maps of Middle Earth and Faerun than most would admit. Confession? I fan girl scream when I see The Desolation of Smaug trailers.
All of this just makes up the person that is me...and maybe that says 'Nerd' to you, hell maybe I am a nerd...but I'm a damn sexy one! <3

Hope you all made it to the Fair and to the Thrift shop! The Thrift shop ends on December 1st so your chance to snag that cute dress at an Ah-may-zing price is ticking!

He Luvs Me For My Brainzzz!



{Pics taken at DeadPool}

As this special holiday approaches (tomorrow! YIKES!) I am ever thankful that my dude loves me for my brainzz. He really does! He tolerates the Scream Queen that I am and encourages and joins in on my horror loving life. And so this blog is special to me cuz that cute psychobilly zombie in the black leather jacket is him! He doesn't play Second Life with me too much, he's into other games but once again he's here for me.
Though I was tempted to rip their jaws and arms off and put chains around their necks, I knew these zombies would play nice with me even though I enticed them with my cute dress and the tattoo which screamed for them to EAT ME! <3
How glad am I that I walked into Elska yesterday and ran into a lil corner of inked heaven! Between Elska and Reckless, I think I'm pretty much taken care of in that department. Make sure to make your way over and check them both out if you haven't already!

If you celebrate it, I Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!

SeƱorita print, what?! I love it! DRBC quite often knows how to melt my heart. So I took this new get-up of mine out for a stroll in the rose garden.

I don't know where you are, but where I am...it's freeeeeezing! Not literally but it feels like it. So when my gorgeous friend and I laid our eyes on the new DRBC swim suits, a day at the beach in our Second Life was in order! Now, I know I could've enjoyed the sand between my toes but...I couldnt seem to get my new LW heels off my feet! And also...I love me some Reckless. Perfect chance to show off my new ink. A girl can look cute in a bikini...but I felt rather Rebel in mine! To get specifics on what my girl Anika has on, make sure to check out her take on our day at the beach on her blog.

Singers Icon Fair: Selena!







So I made my way to the Singers Icon Fair. Actually, I saw another blog post with a cute lil purse featured and followed the link. To my surprise, there was an entire event going on unbeknownst to me! Are bloggers supposed to admit that? In any case...I ran into something that surprised me. Amongst all the mainstream performers, 80's music, pop stars... so on and so forth...there in a little corner was an outfit I recognized immediately. It was an outfit I've seen so many times before. How could I not pay homage to a true Icon? I fell in love with her music when I was a young girl. I grew up following her dance moves and memorizing her every lyric. The day she was killed, I cried as if someone in my family was taken from me. I was only 14, I remember it like it was yesterday, I'll remember it always. Acapella, live, recorded...no matter how you hear her. No matter what genre of music you like. No matter if you don't understand Spanish at all. It is simply known that this woman was talented.

Como La Flor, Con Tanto Amor, Siempre, Selena.

Giving Thanks...


{Pics taken at Funky Junk}

Everyone's favorite time of year has rolled around. I couldn't help but take a somewhat INSANE picture because I can't help but feel somewhat insane! No matter how much planning and prepping I do, I can never seem to get things right. No matter how much help is offered by the hubby, he just seems to get in the way! So the food goes flying! Dishes get broken, swear words are spewed forth like truckers have invaded our home....but in the end, family. Regardless of what you think of the meaning of Thanksgiving, remember family. All I know around this time is family. All I do it for is family.I mentioned in a blog post earlier that I lost a brother in 2011. Some of the best memories I have of him are during the holidays. You might go a little insane....but remember what you're doing it for.

For the Love of Tentacles...


 {All Pics Taken at the Lovecraft Festival}

You may or may not be familiar with his work. If you are not, then the clothing I am wearing above may seem rather bizarre to you. If you are, then you're probably smiling. The sim is quite a site with an all out Lovecraft set up. Careful where you're walking because there are tentacles galore! Take your time to look around and see what lovely creations the imaginative designers of our Second Life have come up with. But steer clear of the water! My friend Dante and I wandered over to take a look at a lighthouse. I became curious and next I knew, I was being taken down several leagues below the sea and then left to rot in the tentacles of some sea creature! Perfect ending for my visit at the Lovecraft Festival! It ends Sunday! The events for Saturday are as follows: 
12-2pm - Renowned DJ Bcreative Wilde Heart spins at the Big Top on the Festival grounds 1000L$ for best in Steam Punk! Later, 6pm Saturday- Tribute performance for Cradle of Filth provided by Bad Ampitude.

I LOVE Rock N' Roll!

{Pic taken at The Social Scene}

While I have several other things I am currently working on, this lovely little gem floated onto my lap and completely distracted me! (in a wonderful way).
If you're going to know anything about me, it's this. I LOVE me some Joan Jett! I've loved her since I was a little girl and with age, that love has only grown. What a talented woman and role model human being. It was never about fitting in or doing what others thought she should do...I think it was all about living HER life and making the music she wanted to. I had the pleasure of seeing her perform back in July of 2013 and she continues to amaze me. Performance, vocals, visually, stunning. Music today will never be the way it was back then. To the ones that paved the way...YOU ROCK!

My Side of the Tracks!


{All Pics Taken In The Ghetto}

If there is anything I truly admire about a woman, well, a person in general, I am saying 'woman' because, in movies for example, we're quite often made to be the victims. Anyway, what I admire is ferociousness. I admire strength and honesty. A woman who isn't afraid to do things on her own. No, I don't need you to walk me home, I'd 'LIKE' you to walk me home. No, I don't need you here, I 'WANT' you here. I grew up in a town that sat at a happy medium I think. A good side of town, a bad side of town. I am thankful that in any case, I was taught to never be the victim and never place myself in a position where I could be the victim. Even in my SL, many women inspire me with their badass attitudes and no nonsense personality. Having said that...I think I just described myself! I mashed up a couple of my favorite female designers (and one kick ass male designer!) in one outfit. DRBC just released these delicious pants in several different custom prints! The skin I am in is something you'll want to get your hands on as soon as possible. Mystic Canvass is still having a holiday sale! 99L skin and 1L Lola Appliers! Check out the links below and visit her store to grab them all!

To Ride or to Die? That is the Question.


Okay...I know I told you I went back to the Rockabilly Fashion Fair five or six or seven times but maybe I lied. I went back again! For two things. One: I kept seeing this awesome necklace by LouLou&Co that was screamin' to be around my neck. So it has been snagged. I don't know if you'll ever see my blog post dear owner of LouLou&Co but I love you. That's all. Second: I couldn't find Knockers! I ran into this little place awhile ago and was happy to run into more Psychobilly/Retro fashion. They even had a cute freebie set out and lucky chairs....and then I tried to go back and the place poofed! I was happy to see Knockers at the TRFF with some rockin' new gear out. When I saw this lil number, I figured we could go two ways with it...naughty or nice...sorry gals, I prefer the darker side and I love my bikes! I'm always in search of my 'C.o.o.l r.i.d.e.r'! <-- If you don't get that reference...*sigh* Go watch Grease 2!

"Who Is This Irrisistable Creature Who Has An Insatiable Love For The Dead?"



{All photos taken at the Deadpool sim}

I have a confession (and to all of you that know me personally, you shhh, I know you already know this!) I am sort of in LOVE with horror! It's rather catchy nowadays. You don't run into many people that will openly admit to not liking horror movies. The difference is, I live and breathe Horror. I celebrate Halloween year round. My place is decorated in it 365 days a year. So when my dear friend Guen shared a lovely sim with me, I couldn't help but explore the place. 
Oh the evil little sights made my heart skip several beats! Now, if you plan on going, you should plan on packing some heat! (But you don't have to. The zombies will come at you but wont do damage) There are games and a beautiful labyrinth and if you join their group, you can enjoy zombie shooting. Who doesn't love a lil zombie shooting? Beyond all the horror, there are beautiful sights as well. There are carousels, birds eating a rotted corpse, and if you pass them all and get to the building in the back...you've found a real gem. A wonderfully hidden little place for some very interesting photos. Also available is the Deadpool Fashion line which helps keep this fabulous place up and running. I am wearing their lovely made corset in my photos. Make sure to head on over to get in your zombie, horror, evil clown, circus, funny amusement park ride fix and check out their shops while you're there!

Good Times...


{Pics taken at one of my favs! Artilleri}

I can't really explain to you my little obsession with the 50's era. When I was younger, my mom and my Tia (that's Aunt in Spanish), took me riding around their hometown, telling me stories of 'back when'. Old boyfriends, tragic endings, hair-do's, dances. They were blasting oldies music. I mean some of the classics. I wont go into naming them all because we were doing this for a few hours. There's something about that day that I hold dear to me. I didn't fall in love with the 50's era that day, it was long before that...but that day, I felt like I had actually lived it briefly! (Hey, if you knew how ghost town their home town is, you would have felt it too!) The era was pure. Romance was at another level. Chivalry, kindness, hard work, family...those seem to be things that have faded right along with the class that the men and women of the era had and portrayed even in their daily wardrobe. I know there are still the rare few that try and hang on to that with every bit of their soul. I am one of them. As creepy and kooky as I am, the 50's housewife was strongly instilled in me thanks to my upbringing. My Second Life reflects it just the same sometimes. Here's to old times and keeping old traditions alive!

Lovely Little Corpse...






{Pic taken at A&Y Bunker CyberCity}

One of the things I like to do in Second Life is just wander around. I admire the sights, (sometimes) the sounds, originality, etc. It doesn't matter what it is really, it might just be at a store. Some shops go all out to make their place cozy enough for you to just want to hang out there. I have a few I favor. Anyway, on one of my little stops last night, I stopped in place called Darkware. Some of my friends were going on and on about some of their new stuff so I thought I would take a peek. I am glad I did! I snagged this cute corset and decided to rock it on out today. And then the store owner popped up behind me and about made me have a mini heart attack. Head on over and take a look at the sim, it's quite a lovely site with some of my favorite shops soon to join forces there! Make sure to check out the badassery lineup that Darkware has available at extremely reasonable prices!

Paint It Black




I remember my first days of playing Second Life. They weren't too gentle, to say the least. Yes, there were freebie shops and whatnot but the only lucky chairs that I remember, were ones that you had to sit on for several hours (at the least 30 minutes) to get an outfit. Or the lovely ones where you would sit for hours and hours to get like...2 linden. Upon my return to Second Life in February, I was amazed at the amount of hunts that were taking place. And "gatchas". If you don't know what a gacha is, I'll explain it quick, it's basically a slot machine. Designers place a certain number of items, be it clothing, accessories, skin, etc. in the machine, you pay a set amount and take your chance at getting one of the items the designer included in the gatcha. You have a greater chance at getting some more than others, aka 'Commons' vs. 'Rares'. Well, I think this is just outright spoiling everyone, but I won't complain. The Gatcha Garden for November is open and it has some awesome little steals!
Their blog will give you a nice preview of what is available or you can head on over in world and dive right in.
The sexy lil number I am wearing is by DRBC and was a gift from a lovely friend of mine (Thank you Dante!). Another good thing about the gatchas. If you get the same one (while trying to get that darn rare!) you can sell or even better, pass them along to your friends as gifts, believe me, they wont complain.

This Time of Year...



I don't know what it is about this time of year. I suppose people call this 'The Holiday Blues'. My issue is embracing the fact that another year has came and nearly gone by. Many people in real life and in our Second Life have come and gone too. I don't know about you, but I don't take change so well. Years can go by and a person is still a recurring thought. People that I wish were never there to begin with. I try to remind myself that had those people not come into my life, I wouldn't be where I am today. Those people were mere stepping stones. Maybe they were harsh, maybe I felt they were unnecessary but the fact is that had one little moment in life been altered, perhaps...just perhaps, life wouldn't be what it is right now. It's days like today when I don't need to over accessorize, I don't need anything accept comfort, peace, relaxation...simplicity.

Body:
Skin: Skindustrial Bodyworks Nadya Skin-Cream (Thank you Zinti!) All appliers available plus different brow color options and make-up color options.

Kept A Rollin'!







It may have been my fourth (or fifth or sixth) trip on down to the Rockabilly Fashion Fair! I STILL found more things I wanted! I think I now own every (female) DRBC exclusive on Ms. Dizzy's wall. What an amazing selection and I couldn't help my 'right click/buy' finger from going the hell off. I'm sure most of us couldn't. While enjoying my little stroll around the place, I ran into another gorgeous designer who stunned me with her appearance. Zinti ResidentEvil owner of Skindustrial Bodyworks was making her rounds too and so we joined forces and took over the place together, even stopped in for a quick cone...or two. What a peach she is! I enjoy meeting designers who have no issues chatting it up with the people that love their work. That is her in the bottom picture with me. She is wearing one of her own amazing skins which she is about to release soon! Make sure to hop on over and check out her shop. I spotted clothes there as well and the place is surrounded by other little gems too.
It made me miss my galpal and partner in crime Ms. Z who was supposed to go to the fair with me, unfortunately...our schedules collide and so, well, here we are. I did however sneak over to her place at The Vinyls and enjoyed some time listening to some amazing music.

The dress I am wearing is designed on a mesh that I just adore. There is just something about the way it hugs those curves, no matter if you're walking, sitting, or shaking your arse and that to me is what makes an awesome dress in my Second Life. The pattern on it is elegant yet creepy and well with that, you've just described a big part of me! I'm in love with it.

Gasoline Gal! [Rockabilly Fashion Fair]







The Rockabilly Fashion Fair has finally arrived! Seems like I have been waiting forever. But the wait was so worth it! I shoved past randoms (not really but it seemed like it) to get in and even though it was one step forward and two steps back, I managed to get most of everything I wanted in one night, though, I seem to find myself returning to snag other things again and again.
Unfortunately, when I tried to buy my Ploom hair, it didn't make it to my inventory. Yes I shed a tear that night but, I sent a notecard and Helyanwe Vindaloo responded promptly! Thank goodness!
Have fun navigating your way around. I dont think maps or landmarks were provided but it's a nice opportunity to try and enjoy the environment. So this is your caddy there: Caddeh to the Rockabilly Fashion Fair! If something there is marked EXCLUSIVE, it will be found at the fair only. You have till November 23rd to get your hands on these babies!
