Alice In Her Party Dress

{This photo taken at Pigeon Island}

I very much bonded with this little picture. The darkly girl taking her moment for a smoke break in a hidden corner. Maybe she's at a family gathering or something, a gathering of friends..but the introvert in her needs a moment to gather herself. Yep, that's me!
So we're coming to our closing days of Gothmas at Gaslight, sadly. I love my Cursed Events. So I hope you've all had a chance to visit, enjoy the scenery, grab some goodies, and enjoy some dancing at the Club Gothika mobile unit! It's open until January 3rd so, a few days still before its all gone forevarrrrr...or until the designers put it out in their shops lol. 
Anyway, get your shop on. I am having fun right now learning more stuff and playing around in photoshop.
I have some more awesome stuff to show you though so I will be back very sooooon! <3

Hello, Hello, Hello? Is There Anybody In There?


As we step closer and closer to 2015, we see another year gone by, can look at things we left behind, both good and bad. We can smile about them, laugh about them, cry about them and hopefully more than anything, we've learned about it all. 
I love doing my post-apoc photos during the end of the year, I dont know why. Symbolization I guess. I wanted to get in this quickie of a post just to say a thanks to my readers, sponsors, friends. All the people that have silently peeked their heads into Gia's World to see what is going on. I don't care what reason you had to be here, the point is, you were here and I'm okay with that. 
My blog was started as an adventure. One I would take people on with me...an old school SL'er learning her way around this new school stuff and here I am. Sitting in my own lil corner of the SL world in a fantastical Maitreya body that I probably wont remove (until it's time to switch to my Belleza one which I still love). 
I hope this year has treated you all well...as well as possible. Life was never promised to be easy you know. All of us fight different battles and all we can do is be there for each other. I'm not trying to hippie dance around things...I'm just saying, we deal with enough crap everyday, don't be someones reason to deal with more. Appreciate everything, even if you think it's horrid. It's a lesson learned. Appreciate when people leave, they weren't meant to be there. Adore, love and care for the ones that fight for you and stay, they are precious.
I don't know where you are, what you're doing...but I do hope all is well. May this coming year be everything you'd like it to be <3

Luff you all much! ~Gia

You're Beautiful And Sick Like Me



{These Photos Taken at Neva River}

Oh so sorry my blog posts are far and few in between. It is the holidays though. But even so...just busy, busy, busy! Too many things to do and not enough Gia's! I know I promised to shorten it down to like one pic but man, I blame Maria Brink for it though. I had that 'Sick Like Me' song stuck in my head foreverrrrr and so I just ran with it and let it inspire my post.
I hope you've all had a chance to make your way to Gothmas by Gaslight. I am wearing Sakide in black, although this outfit is at Gothmas by Gaslight in white as well and just as stunning! It also comes with its own set of heels though I wanted something a lil more risque so I went with something several feet higher! Hah. I had the dress on in white first but felt very out of place so I went back to my comfort zone <3
Christmas is right around the corner and I am hoping I can get in a post this year! *crosses fingers*
So I will keep this short and let you go snag the goodies at Gothmas by Gaslight! See you soon loves! Enjoy the pics and if by chance I dont get to post before Christmas, I hope those of you that celebrate it have a great one! For those of you that don't celebrate it, I hope you're at least enjoying the day off lol. Love you guys long time! Be back soon! <3

Gothmas Awakens the Bride



I told you Gothmas by Gaslight was right around the corner! It's here! It started! This is an event for those of us that can embrace the darker side of this holiday and all the beauty of it!
Right now I am feeling semi overwhelmed with everything that this event has to offer lol so much to show so first things first, I had to show some DRBC luff!
Though there are a few options for you from DRBC, I am showcasing this amazing lil gown. I immediately thought of my fellow roleplayers, and people that roam the medieval sims. This is a gown you wont want to pass up. So simple but very pretty. I ran into this gorgeous photo online and it inspired the bride to awaken and celebrate the holidays! So of course, I couldn't think of a better dress or brand to bring the Bride to life with than my beloved DRBC.

Make sure to click on that Gothmas by Gaslight link above to get your shopping maps, join the Cursed Shoppers group, and keep updated on Club Gothika's schedule for the duration of the event because they party hard!
But I will not keep you! Head over and hopefully we will bump into each other at one of the Gothika gatherings! <3

World So Cold

{This Photo Taken Here}

One of the lil quirks I have with Second Life photos, especially during these winter months is that it seems like...nobody cares that their avatar is standing out in the middle of winter...in lingerie (for example!). I personally like to layout a storyline for my photos...and I know, that's just MY personal preference and not everyone has to do that. That's just fine. But if you're standing in the snow butt ass nekkid, I would like to know why. So I sat on this photo for a minute for that exact issue. I had to ask myself if I would take a stroll if the winter chill would nip at my bare shoulders and legs...depending on the situation...yes. Have you ever been so angry that you don't feel the weather? The sting of the winter wind on your face is nothing in comparison to the feeling that is completely engulfing you. 

I loved this dress by Skindustrial Bodyworks. It is available in several colors just in time for dances, parties, gatherings, date nights around this holiday season so make sure to grab them all!

Be back in a bit luvs!

Winter In Versailles

{This Photo Taken Here}

In typical Gia fashion, I am getting this post out way later than anticipated, though I've had this picture (or one similar to it!) in mind since I saw these heels. I honestly do let my wardrobe inspire me. I wouldn't know how to pull this sort of thing off otherwise.
By now I am SURE everyone has been to Uber but I hope you've made sure to grab Eudora's awesome heels that are there or their items that you see anywhere because if you see Eudora, you're guaranteed some of the best quality on the grid. These heels are so very feminine and with the HUD that they come with, they give you a plethora of fashion options to dress them up or down, this is just the way they inspired me. 
I mashed them up with some goodies from other events and had a ball trying to find just the right place for my picture. What?! Is nobody else in SL obsessed with Versailles like me? Geeeze. 
Anyway, Gia's World is going to be super busy so I'm chopping the pics! I shall give you an eye full in one pic, I promise <3 With Gothmas By Gaslight around the corner and some super busy sponsors, I bounce in anticipation! So see you all in a few! *le smooooch*

The Ghost of Christmas Past



My dearest apologies for not getting this blog out like daaaaays ago but you see I have a good reason, which will be located on the bottom of this post.
After a lil talk with my friend Anika, I decided that this house was far too great to just feature a few pictures of it here and there, I wanted to do something different.
This house and all of the awesome little knick-knacks in it are by Death Row Designs and are available at the Arcade this December round. Oh ho ho so many things at the Arcade that just made me want to slap the designers lovingly with my lindens. Lol. But this is definitely one of the gacha machines you're not going to want to miss.
With the attention to detail and the nice warmth the little quirky house gives, it's simply a must have for this time of year and one you'll want to put out every Christmas! My favorite part of the house was of course dear old Ebenezer's bedroom. You can just tell how much work was put into all of this. Death Row Designs is a team now and I think they do a damn great job together! They always leave me eagerly anticipating their next project.
So this was my first time in a loooong time playing with video, and then on top of that I decided to get a new program so you might be seeing more videos from me (maybe, no promises! Time permitting!! Gia is a busy busy lady). So be nice as far as judging lol and enjoy my little walk through of Ebenezer's house and I hope it entices you to go snag it and enjoy its warmth this holiday season...before the Ghost of Christmas Past comes to haunt you! Also, don't forget to grab the awesome lil snow man that is a free gift from DRD at the Arcade featured in the beginning of the video with and without sound effects. <3

Back soon my loves!

Big Bada Boom!


{These Photos Taken At Hangars Liquides}

Neeeeedless to say, I just had a ball playing with these pics! I've been experimenting more in photoshop with lighting and blur of course and doing a Fifth Element action shot was the perfect project for the job! 
DRBC dropped a loverly little dress for the anniversary round of Suicide Dollz! Happy Anniversary Suicide Dollz! With over 60 designers participating, this is a round you most definitely do not want to miss! Well, don't miss any round but if you miss this one it's a high five to the forehead for you! Lol

So, it's been my goal since the beginning of the creation of Gia's World to show you things that I simply adore, admire, look forward to, etc., in Second Life. Main one of course is the many designers who I fan girl over because of their talent. Of course, without saying much, you all know one of the designers who I love long time but there's a reason of course! And I really hope you can see that here. The reason I chose to blog the plan white Leeloo dress (Although there is another dress available with a color HUD!), is because of the texture. Although I had fun in photoshop with my pictures, I really wanted to show the texture of my dress in my bottom portrait. I didn't photoshop the dress AT ALL in the bottom pic. Played with my skin, hair, lighting but not the dress.  While in SL I have seen so much mesh clothes that is supposed to be white but it looks like it had paint dumped on it rather than any texture at all...but if I've done my job right, you can see clearly that this dress has an insanely great texture to it! I just have to applaud her on a job well done as there aren't too many that do white on mesh like so. 
With that being said, keep your eyes locked on DRBC as I know this month is a busy one and the releases are a comin'! Gothmas by Gaslight and Horror Festive are right around the corner. Click on the DRBC Facebook link above to keep updated on all things DRBC and to see what she has lined up for upcoming events.

Busy busy days in Gia's World! Eyes here ladies and Gents! <3
