Into the Shadows

Sex appeal is fifty percent what you’ve got and fifty percent what people think you’ve got. Sophia Loren

I haven’t been around much in the month of October, unfortunately I have been dealing with medical stuff. Trust me, I would rather be online, but sometimes you just have to take care of real life first. This was definitely one of those cases. BUT, I have a few things that I’d like to blog. Everything you see in this photo is available at collabor88 but you have to hurry since it closes on the 6th. The back drop is from foxcity. The bats are from half deer and so is the coffin shelf. The table, mirror, and flowers are from fancy decor. So again, if you like what you see, stop at Collabor88.

I’m sorry this post is a bit brief, but a pillow is calling my name. Hope everyone had a happy Halloween!

As always,

Be kind to one another and cheers.

Violet

So I normally don’t do a double post, but well I was a bit busy in the month of September. I haven’t really been online much in the last two weeks. But sometimes, you have battles you have to face in life and I am no exception. So I had to step away.. handle my life and come back with new eyes.

The above two photos were again inspired by a series called guild hunter. I am very addicted to it. After many years of not really reading much, I’ve stepped back into eating books. I fell in love with so many of the characters. I will admit those angel characters are seeping through to my sl.

Any way, I digress. Collabor88, Kustom9, and Uber have all been open and running. I highly recommend these three events. They are completely fantastic. I hope you all find something that you really like. I have to make a quick note about my sexy shorts by Eliavah… they are fantastically dirty and I like it. My hot skull heels are by Utopia and perfect for a creepy start to October. I hope you all enjoy these items as much as I do. Truly wonderful pieces.

Okay I am off to that great wonderful pillow. I hope you grab a friend and shop to your hearts content.

As always, be kind to one another.

Cheers,

Shameless Dreams

 

I am not your innocent wonderland… quote by me.

I’d like to give a shout out to all my amazing followers. I hit 4K a few weeks ago. I am truly astonished at how many people follow my work. I can say that I appreciate every like, follow, and award. Truly.. amazing beautiful wonderful and great… I can’t express my gratitude or express how humbled I am. thank you all again ♥♥♥♥

This photoshoot was inspired by a book that I’m currently reading, and music videos listed below. And a peak into that devilish mind of mine…

I am not your innocent wonderland. My dreams are shameless and delicious. Splayed out in a dream there were no limits. Butterflies flew. Only a touch of innocence among flesh. Naked, hungry, and waiting….

🙂 ♥
Stay dirty my friends. And thanks again.

Okay so I have been MIA. My birthday was this month and my friends decided to give me a few surprises, since I had an incredibly rough year. It was a welcomed break, during a tough time. I am grateful for friends and family in all worlds.

Sooooo lets get into the deep discussion that is my picture, just kidding it’s not that serious. Collabor88’s theme this month is dreams. At first I was totally at a loss for ideas, but I dug deep for some inspiration and looked at everything those wonderful designers out there created. I couldn’t help feeling like a naughty alice in wonderland with a hint of innocence. There are so so many designers in this picture. Instead of listing all of them in here.. in this paragraph, I will list them down below. The eccentric work leads to the craving for halloween and all things creative. I have to say.. I was loving this round. It was out of the box and a little different. It got my own creative juices flowing in the end. Everything in this photo is from Collabor88.. right down to my hair.

I won’t go into a big long blog post, but I will get into the credits. Sleep awaits me soon. My pillow is screaming at me

Be Kind To One Another

Cheers,

Violet xoxo

We Rise

 

“when angels fall, they rise”… By Dr. Linda on the show Lucifer

As you can tell, I’m having this wonderful love affair with this real life show, which is soooo inspiring my photos. I’ve had a lot of fun dressing up as these angels lately. I couldn’t do it without some amazing designers…. AND HAIR FAIR!

Ladies and gentleman, lets talk about some HAIR!! So as you know hair fair opened on the 17th. I’ve been sitting on some amazing AMAZING HAIR. So with further ado, lets talk about this new wig of mine. I am currently wearing hair from Chain. And you can definitely find this wig at HAIR FAIR! The company is new to me, but I can tell you that.. I really do adore their hair. I’ve always loved this hairstyle, but I had issues with it from different companies in the past. Maybe my head is just too big.. who knows. BUT.. Chain did it up right. It had a dutch braid on both sides of the head and then cut off by a band, creating a ponytail in the back. My wonderful and amazing dress is from Rowne and my shoes are from Rebel Gal. I love love love this combo.The shoes and dress are both available at.. yup you guessed it Collabor88. And finally my necklaces and earrings are from LaGyo which is available at Collabor88. Omg.. this round is to die for.. Oh my gosh.. I am so in love with C88. I’m hearting them hard right now. If you notice my rings on my fingers. They’re from yummy and you can find them at ..again Collabor88. So hair fair closes on the first of September and collabor88 ends their round on the 7th. So you have to hurry to get your wigs on and hair fair. Please don’t forget HAIR FAIR supports wigs for kids. This is such a great cause. A portion of the proceeds go to this wonderful charity.

I’m going to make this blog a bit short again, blame it on my need for beauty sleep. If you like any of the items featured above, please check out my credits down below.

Remember…

Be Kind To One Another,

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

Fall From Grace

 

 

 

By that sin fell the angels. William Shakespeare

 

There are so many wonderful events all coming out right now. I’ve been a busy bee lately, setting up this wonderful set and having a lot of fun. So I’m not going to procrastinate… I  will get into what everyone wants to know… where did you get xyz.

My whole set, except for the pose is from one of my favorite events in August.. You guessed it. Collabor88’s birthday bash. I love love love this event. I really can’t gush about it enough. As I write this, I still have things to buy from this event–that is just how good it is this round. There are many many many items in this photos, so I’m going to leave it to the credits. If you see something that you just have to have, please look at my credits down below.

This blog is a little short. But I’m getting in the swing of things. And I have another event to talk about.. which is the wonderful hair fair. It opened and … I have some hair from a not so well known company or maybe it wasn’t well known to me :). But I am really excited to share with you my latest haul. As you guessed already, I’ve got some more wonderful items from Collabor88 to share with you and even a steamy pose from this latest round of pose fair. I want to say the theme of stardust may be one of my favorite themes so far with all the birthday bashes. I bought a lot of stuff from this Collabor88 round. It’s really a wonderful round, if you get a chance, check it out with a friend.

I want to take a brief moment and talk about this photo. I’m a big fan of the show Lucifer. Okay I’m totally addicted to it. I may have bought some books that have similar characters. Anyway…. when I saw these really these gorgeous wings from Yokai.. I bought them right away and knew exactly what I was going to do with them. And I saw this quote and new that it was perfect. Hopefully, you find a little bit of sinfulness at pose fair, but that’s for another blog and for another time.

Woman like me

 

“The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before.” – Albert Einstein

 

So I’m going to make this blog a little short, since it is really early or late–depending on your perception of things. I will say this picture has me craving pizza like crazy. Thank you baguette for making the perfect virtual pizza. I think there may be a pizza in my future that is for sure.

So, I find myself a bit lonely lately, but that’s only because my schedule is very wacky at the moment. I am alone quite a bit, but I know that it will change soon–thankfully. So feeling that loneliness led me to the Einstein quote. It’s good to remind yourself that being alone is a good thing. Also I find that second life can be feast or famine sometimes. There are times where there is a ton of people to talk to and then.. sometimes the world seems a bit quiet. Feeling that I came across the quote and song (both can be found on flickr).

Moving right along to all those wonderful creations in the above picture. Most of the items in the above pick are from Collabor88 and the epiphany–both close soon. The new round of Collabor88 starts on the 8th and the epiphany closes soon. I will have to get back to you on closing dates, after I wake up :). So without further ado, please look down below for credits.

Before I end with my credits, I know there has been so much tragedy in the US. I’m thinking of the families and the people who were senselessly killed by a shooter with no regard to life. This life is so precious and it’s sad that individuals feel as though they need to selfishly take it away. There is not enough love in the world. There’s not enough respect for life. Despite the tragedies, I will always have faith that things will change.. and one day there will be no mass shootings. Look for further posts in the future for charities to help the survivors. Keep them in your in hearts, thoughts, and prayers. ♥

Please  be kind to one another.

Cheers,

Violet xoxo ♥

Melting in the Heat

click image to see enlarged picture

Animals are such agreeable friends – they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms. George Eliot

Whew, it is HAWT outside. I truly believe that.. if i could have melted… I probably would have this past week. It seems we are all feeling the heat. The weather totally knocked me out last week. The temperatures lowered. And I feel like a person again…not on fire. This past week, I felt pretty miserable from the heat like so many. Thankfully, in my real life, my animals kept me really great company. I was incredibly lucky to have them. So my pets kind of inspired this picture–chilling with ice cream and my best friend by my side. Animals are awesome like that.

Which leads me to the next topic, the adorable wolf, decor, and fantastic summer clothes, I must talk about it all. There are a TON of items in this picture. As I was writing down all my credits in a notecard, I realized that… I may just need to mention briefly the events. Most of the items featured above are from Collabor88 and the latest round at the Epiphany. I have to say.. I really adore this outfit. I don’t want to take it off. This cute little romper by Aleutia, hair from monso, earrings from Max Gossamer, glasses by fetch are all from Collabor88. My decor comes from so many wonderful companies: Ice cream and inner tube from Dahlia, cat bag and gun from Tentacio, gloves from foxwood, and way too many to list in this paragraph. You really will have to check out my credits down below. I really shopped till I dropped.

As I melted from heat in real life, I really just wanted to be by the beach with an ice cream cone, a water gun.. and may be a furry friend by my side. July has been the month where I haven’t been online much. I am going to have more time, since some things in my real life have slowed down. I had family that had an adoption go through. So I’ve spent some nights talking to family and sharing pictures of the little guy. We’re all thrilled. But now, I can sit down relax and kind of get into the groove of blogging again. If you like any of my items featured above, please check out my credits.

As always, be kind to one another.

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

Sunshine and Rays

 

‘Heatwave’ just fits the feel of summer for me. Amber Mark

So I’m here!! I did not quit. I promise!! I’ve been away from blogging for a little while. I know that it has been awhile. I needed to step away and do some things in real life. I have a very good friend who gave birth and I have other family adopting. And I had a close friend whose father landed in ICU.  It has been a very emotional summer and roller coaster. That is definitely for sure.

I want to say it feels so so so good to sit down behind my pc and be able to blog, after such a difficult…happy few weeks. Life can really be so so busy and complicated.. and well just beautiful at times. I took time to be there for loved ones and wait for calls… and spend late nights with friends in real life. Social media is an amazing tool and helps me to stay connected in my real life, but it also means that at times.. I do become busy with people that I have known over the years.

When I finally sat down behind my Pc to create a picture, I knew that summer was just the ticket. I really could use a moment to relax. I’ve had a very long summer. So I did what any person stressed out would do. I created a beach on my land of course. I had never built a beach so it was definitely a learning experience. I was so confused at first, BUT in the end.. by golly I got it!!! It’s really fun to learn new things, even if it is virtually.

To make this beautiful scene with me bathing in the sun, I went to my go to designer… Eliavah. She made this super super super sexy outfit. It’s called Star Dancer Attire. There are a ton of hues to pick from. And this WIG… this wonderful sexy flirty wispy ..romantic hairdo is from Exile. You can find it at this latest round of Collabor88. My chair is from soy, which you can also find at Collabor88. I really like this lounge chair. The texture is gorgeous. And it’s the perfect addiction to any summer home. My cute little animesh crab is from MishMish. I think it’s super cute. It moves back and forth, smiling away. MishMish always makes the cutest items. I may be just a tad bit addicted. My gorgeous bag is from pilot, which holds all the necessary accessories. My little beach ball, there in the background is from Kata0nik. It really does help to make any beach pop. Unfortunately my radio is no longer available, but you can find all of these other items down below in my credits, for further info.

Space Bar

 

You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom. Malcolm X

Hey everyone, so the grid has some really really really great shopping. It’s so incredibly good, that I’m broke until Thursday. Say whaatttt? You will have to stick with me for the next few days, as I go into my blogging frenzy. But first let’s begin with this picture…

Collabor88 has a spacey theme.. from UFO’s to all things out of this world. It’s a really fun concept, and this is the time to pick up some really fun and funky items. My flying spaceship is from Reign. It’s really meant to be attached to you, so that you’re flying around in a UFO rather than walking. It’s pretty great. I adore it. If you do rez this ship, I do have to warn you.. it is a lot of prims. I would so suggest flying around in it. Then, there’s this panda.. this cute adorable panda. It’s by mishmish. There’s a decor option or a companion. The lamps and tiny flying UFO are from Schendenfreude. It has a hud to change the textures. It’s a wonderful item, if you like a mod style to your decor. I like it because the lamps are extremely unique. I really haven’t seen anything quite like it in my second life shopping travels. The bar sign and table are from second spaces. I used this sign as an inspiration for this photo. I also included this funky chair that pairs great with the lamps. Soy made this ultra funky hip chair. And then my backdrop is from Foxcity. The backdrop has some really bright and beautiful lighting. I always have this special place in my heart for Foxcity. I tend to use their windlighs quite a bit, so I’m a little partial to this brand.

Finally, we absolutely must talk about my out of this world outfit. My bodysuit and cuffs are by the none other Eliavah. She created this futuristic bodysuit. Again, this item is really unique with the glow of the cuffs, to the glowing parts of the bodysuit. The piping can be changed, that lines this outfit. The belt has color and medal options too. There’s so many options for textures, and the fatpack has so many options for piping, bodysuit, and glow–along with the belt and metal. The texture of the bodysuit has a beautiful sheen to it. It’s a really fun piece to have in your inventory for those out of this world parties. And then this hair.. this really cute hair is by monso. My hair has a truly romantic feel. It can be paired with so many different types of outfits from romantic to fashion forward. This wig is definitely a great hairstyle for those hot summer months. Then, finally, there’s this really dainty cute necklace, which is by La Baguette. Before I forget, my pose is by Fashiowl. I pulled this whole picture together with this completely fabulous pose, which is available on the marketplace.

I’ve so enjoyed making this picture. I know there are some incredibly things at collabor88 this round..special and different than your every day items. I hope you too find something special at this months round. Bring family or a friend with you and have a blast.

Before I leave you to the credits, I want to talk about my quote. I’ve been on a kick this past few posts about peace. As some may know, June is pride. I think peace, love, and acceptance are just so important. I think Malcom X said it best with this quote. You really can’t be at peace without freedom. Pride is all about freedom… the freedom to be who you are, because you can’t truly be at peace without being able to be who you are. That’s what this month is all about the freedom of being who you are. I hope everyone is having a happy pride. My Pride picture is yet to come, so stay tuned my loyal followers. I will be back.

Be Kind To One Another.

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

Bad Guy

 

Heroes aren’t supposed to do bad things. That’s what villains are for. So either the good supersedes the bad, or the bad makes it impossible to remember the good. We don’t like it when such duality exists in one person. We don’t want to know our heroes are human. LZ Granderson

So I am a HUGE marvel fan. There’s nothing better in the summer than seeing movies about heroes and villains. And I have yet to see Endgame, but I am so  going to see it. I love the ideas of good guys/gals and bad guys/gals. But I have to say…. I love when the hero is the person that you would least expect.. or even when the villain is the person you least expect. There’s something great about that dynamic. I’ve always wanted to play the bad guy in a photo. And this picture definitely gave me that opportunity. To say that I was excited to do this picture is definitely an understatement. This was the day.. I ruined Alisha’s dress.

Okay, I am going to jump right into all the wonderful companies that helped me play the bad guy for at least an hour, during this photo shoot. Lets start off with my ever so gorgeous sweater. It’s sexy and surprising, also really fun to wear. It’s by eliavah and available in her mainstore. I admit that it was an earlier release in an event, but I was unable to get to blogging, due to real life responsibilities. Anyway, moving right along here, now these sexy hawt shorts are by Mossu and you can find this super comfy summer necessity at Collabor88. My gorgeous hair is by Doux and you can pick up this wig at Equal 10. Finally my mask is by the great vinyl, and you can pick it up in their mainstore. Now on to , the beautiful Ali, her dress and boots are from collabor88. the dress is from Emery and her sexy boots are from Empire. The glam hair is from again the wonderful company Doux and you can find it at this month’s Access. Also her jewelry and blindfold also come from collabor88. The blindfold is from LaGyo and her sexy naughty jewelry is from Bueno.

Now, I would like to talk about this really great scene. The backdrop comes from Boys to the bone and is located in the top floor of their mainstore. I was really surprised that this really funky backdrop was by boys to the bone, but I really like it and can see myself using it as part of my decor on my land–not just as a backdrop. Okay, okay, I HAVE to talk about the really fun van. DRD created this van awhile ago and I’ve been dying to make it part of one of my blog posts. It’s called.. wait for it.. the Joint Delivery van. The van even comes with a stoned animation. I have to say this may be one of my favorite funky things in my inventory. I am a little biased though. About a year ago, I was put on a medical cannabis program, due to my increasing pain levels. I was against it for a very long time, until I myself needed this drug to function on some levels. It has given me quality of life and the ability to go out and enjoy life–it’s more than just smoking it. It has topicals and CBN infused bandages for sleep. It helps a lot of people and does a lot of good. I am now a medical cannabis advocate in my real life, because of my own experience. Okay now onto my shopping cart, it’s by anxiety and found at their mainstore.. again it comes with some great poses. It’s nice for pictures but can also be used for decor. Finally, the maitress in the background is by anc and this too can be found at their mainstore.

Whew, thank you for sticking with me through all of thattttt. I know that was a lot of items to go through, but it takes a lot of creators to make wonderful products for photos. Without them, I would never be able to take such fun pictures, so I am always thankful for their time and effort.

I hope something in real life inspires your second life. Get out there and go shopping.. Remember bring a friend. For further info please check down below for credits.

Before I go, I would like to make a quick apology to Eliavah for this tardy post. Her beautiful garment was originally featured at a really great event Equal 10. It has moved to her mainstore now though. Again I am sorry to get this out so late. Real life did prevent me from posting this earlier. So if you missed the event too, please go check this great sweater out at her mainstore. It really is a fun hoodie.

Okay.. last note, I promise. Yesterday was the beginning of second life pride. It’s running from the 14 th to the 23rd. They’re also raising for the rainbow railroad. Please be kind and donate to this worthy cause. ♥.. oh and shake ya booty 🙂 second life pride

Okay get out there and shop.. and remember…Be Kind To One Another.

Cheers,

Violet xoxo
