She's made of Pure Poison

Hello ladies and gents! This is the first post to my new Wordpress blog! I decided to make a Wordpress as well as a Tumblr because I'd gotten a few requests from readers who wanted to follow me on WP without having to make a Tumblr account. So I listened! I'm still learning so bear with me. I have lots of great things to tell you guys today so I won't chit chat any longer!

So I stopped by Pure Poison today to pick up their subscribo gift. PP make really beautiful modern jewelry so I definitely couldn't pass up a freebie! There are other group gifts in the store however the group costs 100L$ to join. Subscribos are always free to touch so by all means, go wild! The gift was this really lovely gold, silver and black necklace and I thought it was very up to date with the current multi-metal triangle/pyramid trends going around.

Also if you walk down the road a bit from PP, you'll come across a place called 'Fashion stars' and I noticed that they had a lot of Group Gifts from Livglam out if you join the FS group! There are 5 dresses in total at the store and you can pick all of them up for free!

Finally, I tried my luck on the Essences skin gacha at The Chapter Four and managed to nab myself the 'Your majesty' skin, which I traded to a sweet lady who gave me the browless version so I could still wear my light hairs! I also got this LOVELY hairband from TCF too. I've been looking for a spiked hairband at a decent price for a long while. There are a couple gifts out at TCF including a group gift set of two pastel rompers and I believe one of the designers in the gacha room has a free giftie out for you all!

Onto the news! 4 new designers have joined my wonderful team of sponsors in the past day so I hope you'll all take the time to check out their stuff. The new sponsors are Half deer, Little bones, Outrage reloaded and Bunni designs! Thank you so much to all of you. I really appreciate the recognition! As always you can check out all the sponsors in the sponsors/affiliates tab and for more information on how to become a sponsor can be found in the review policy!

Sorry if these images today aren't quite up to scratch as they normally are. I actually had to edit these using the trackpad on my laptop. I think considering that I didn't do an awful job haha!

Myths and Legends Part 2

Myths and Legends - Aphrodite

I found this really pretty Roman-style dress on the marketplace and I instantly thought ‘APHRODITE!’.

Hey look! COUPLE SHOOT!

I found some awesome group gifts to blog about in this one, especially for Jonah. His jacket, jeans and shoes are all free group gifts from Supernerd and just over the road at Kal Rau there are even more group gifts (which I’ll blog about eventually) just for the guys. Who says men’s fashion is behind the times?

My shoes are ANOTHER group gift from Little bones (Seriously, why aren’t you in the group yet? You’re seriously missing out) and they’ll be in the group notices for 14 days ONLY so go get ‘em! Never turn down a free pair of shoes!

Thanks to AlexandHero for the gorgeous windlight!

Jonah

Jonah, Jonah, Jonaaaaahhhh~

So here’s his finished look. I do have some mesh hands for him but they look better when he’s not wearing his tattoo so you guys get to see a rare glimpse of the hideous default hands.

Jonah was originally wearing some freebie eyes I just pulled off the marketplace, but IKON has their new group gift out so I changed over to  those instead.

Parthenoid's Tarot meme

[gallery]

Okay so along with Greek Mythology, I also love Tarot cards. I’m not a spiritual person at all though, I guess I just like the idea of psychic knowledge and magical beings.

Parthenoid has sent out a Tarot card challenge that I almost leapt at the chance to do. I chose to depict The World for no other reason than I had a shawl knocking about in my inventory that I wanted to blog  because it has a very deep meaning that I wished to portray so that my followers could see inside my emotions *Shifty*

The world, when upright represents closure and the end of a long journey but also new beginnings and the start of something new as well as victory and accomplishment. But upside-down it means unfinished business and lack of closure.

The two versions here are the carded up and resized image, the one below is the full size uncarded (IT’S A WORD NOW, OKAY!?) version.

Skin: Glam Affair - Cleo

Hair: Elikatira - Abbey

Eyes: IKON - Vanity (Past group gift)

Lashes: Maitreya - Mesh eyelashes (Group gift)

Shawl: Lika Ruby - Shawl white

Wreath: Bare Rose - Penelopeia

Introducing...

Meet Jonah the Nooblet.

He doesn’t look so bad considering he was born but a few hours ago ;D He will be accompanying me on various shoots as soon as I get his look finalized!

I think he looks cute…

I eventually decided to get a Tableau Vivant skin for him since it was the same price as my Glam Affair skin and I have a phobia of not spending anything less than 800L for a skin >.<

The eyes are a freebie I found on the marketplace, but I’ll probably replace them when IKON puts out their next group gift. And the hair is from Exile (I’m as picky about hairs as I am about skins).

TAADAAAA~

This lovely gown is a free group gift from Masoom and it made me feel very regal! They have two other gifts out along with this one at the moment so go get pretty things! The gown itself is made up of a rigged mesh base with flexi skirts and a sculpted chestpiece so it has the perfect fit of a mesh but the realistic movement of a flexi! I definitely have a new found love for gowns. Makes me feel like a queen! :D

I was sent another item today from the When pigs fly hunt and it definitely put me in an airy, ethereal mood! This gorgeous lace gown is by Mmm… Kay! and is free as part of the hunt! Thank you very much Kayden for sending me this stunning dress <3

You can never have enough WEG.

I was just dinking around with water presets.

Then this happened. I get carried away in photoshop.

It's just an illusion, darling

I was sent this very pretty dress today from Just darling as one of the prizes for the ‘When pigs fly hunt’! WPF is a hunt especially for designers to step out of their comfort zones and make something they wouldn’t normally. Just Darling specializes in gorgeous flowy ballgowns and formal wear for ladies but Gabriella has set this very cute cocktail dress out as her prize!

The necklace and blindfold are both from Illusions and are so beautifully made. Illusions does lots of lovely masquerade masks as well as a lot of fantasy themed accessories too!

EDIT: For some reason the marketplace is refusing to load for me, so I’ll update the marketplace links here when it decides to co-operate.

The fall of Wall Edelweiss

[gallery]

Here are the pictures I promised ;)

The Attack on Titans soldier’s uniform is free from Edelweiss along with a demo for the 3D manoeuvre system. The uniform doesn’t come with the emblem-changer HUD but it’s wearable all the same. The emblem I’m wearing above is the one belonging to the stationary guard. No particular reason for choosing it though haha.

The full version of this kit is 20% off right now and it contains the full 3D manoeuvre system, male and female uniforms with emblem changers, 2 static poses (the salute and the jump seen above) and a titan training dummy with both English and Japanese callouts.

Edelweiss has also set up a 3D gear playground for you to run around and fight in. The playground looks like the real place in the Manga/Anime and even has moving titan dummies for you to practice on if you don’t have anywhere to put your personal dummies! Unfortunately for those not fluent in Japanese, the dummies in the playground do not have English callouts but it’s simple to just run them through a translator and memorize the symbols. I believe there are callouts saying you’ve been eaten, you’ve killed the titan and you’ve attacked the titan but he didn’t die. I died a lot at first because the system definitely takes a little bit to get the hang of but very soon I was slashing up titans left and right!

So pop on down to Edelweiss, grab yourself a free uniform and try out the demo at Wall Edelweiss!

Berry's proportions challenge

Strawberry Singh’s Proportions challenge!

So Just as Xy-zee suggested I take part in this challenge, I’d already taken pictures for that very purpose haha! Xy-Zee’s a mind-reader, everyone!

1. Do you try and keep your avatar’s body proportionate and similar to the “average” proportions pictured above? To be honest, I’d had NO idea that the average was 7.5 heads high. So I think it’s safe to say; “Nope, I had no idea what I was doing. I just like making things pretty!"


2. What do you dislike the most about the SL avatar mesh? Oh the hands and the feet, OH and the ankles OHOH and the facial lines. Thank goodness for mesh attachments otherwise I think I may go crazy with the amount of “post-production" my images would have to go through.


3. Does it bother you when you see other avatars that are not proportionate at all? It does a little bit. Especially if people sell the shapes on the MP for ridiculous prices. Like charging people 250L$ for a lady with a massive butt, huge hips, eyes so narrow they look like they’re not even open and huge botox lips. But this is SL, people can do whatever they want. It’s just something that bothers me sometimes.


4. Even though this is a virtual world and people can be anything they want to be, do you feel when they are in human form, they should try to keep their proportions close to average? Nahh. They can do whatever they want. Sure I might not like it if they look a bit…uh…interesting but I’m just one opinionated person. If you think a shape looks good then WORK IT GURL/BOI.

I’m okay with giving my shape details out online because I know that nobody is going to replicate me exactly (because I change so often!) So instead of giving the thieves the satisfaction of making money off of my things, I’ll just give it out to everyone for free.

I think I have windlights figured out now I definitely think I was being way too enthusiastic with the gamma haha! I also had to build this little set up in a sandbox lol because I’m too poor for my own studio. But I think I’ll do it this way more often when I’m not taking pictures in sims.

Ricielli Rampage - Part 4

Back again with another Ricielli hunt look! There serious is a huge wealth of combinations you could make with these items, they all just seem to go together perfectly. With that being said, I think I will make part 5 the last part in the series. I could go on forever, seriously but I think 5 parts is enough haha!

This time I’m mixing it up a bit with the new group gift from Little Bones (I wasn’t kidding when i said she updates often!). These cute pink and floral jeans are idea for dressing down to go shopping or even dressing up for the evening! The shoes are also a group gift from little bones, however it’s no longer in the past notices. If you’d still like a pair though, Nova has a craptonne over at her store! Better grab the jeans quick though because, like the shoes, it’ll be cleared from the past notices after 14 days!
