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

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

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

Apocalypse Of The Heart

 

Sometimes a little heartbreak is a lesson, and the best thing to do is just learn the lesson. Jon Voight

In my last post, I didn’t write very much. I’ve been a little bit sick in my real life and I’ve been having to sort of take one day at a time. I have to say though.. I do feel a lot better than a few days ago. Sometimes meds can just make a person feel really sick. Enough about me though, lets talk about this back drop.

This backdrop and scene represents exactly how I feel sometimes. Everything is in shambles. All the light in the world turns black and bleak. It becomes this apocalypse of nothingness of the heart. There’s this metaphorical death, when time seems to pass and things change. It can be really sad at times. I also linked a song with a very powerful message of strength.. so when you think that everything is in shambles, just remember you are not alone in the world, and you are much stronger than you think. Just hold on for another day.

It may seem odd to have balloons and confetti, but I have a good reason for the pity party. Sometimes you have to drown in the emotion and feel everything, before you can start to heal. It becomes a pity party. BUT, I think it’s important to let your friends, family, etc pull you out of the sad party of one, giving you a bit of air to breathe. So if you feel the need to wallow, do it. Just remember, there’s more than sadness in all worlds and let people pull you out of the sadness. In my own heartbreak over the years, I’ve learned a lot about myself. I’ve gone through a few lessons too. Yet, I always find the joy in life, eventually.

The thing with an apocalypse is that you can start over. With every death, there is a new beginning–or at least that’s according to my tarot cards. Don’t drown in your sorrow for too long, you may never know what awaits you in the future if you do. I feel the need to end on a light note, because I like a good ending. So you will just have to see a much happier post next time.

Before I end this post, I have to talk clothes. My boots, hair, dress, and backdrop are all available at the latest round of Uber. My boots are from the fabulous Utopia@Design. What can I say? I love their boots and I am totally addicted to Utopia. My hair is by exile  and my dress is by Seul. The pose and backdrop are also by the fantastic foxcity creator, which is also available at the latest round of Uber.For Further info, please check my credits below.

Sweet Dreams

 

 

A heart without dreams is like a bird without feathers. Suzy Kassem

I have been really busy this past week in all worlds. I’ve taken pictures and built sets. And I finally get that moment to really sit down and think about this blog post. As soon as, I saw the backdrop from foxcity at Collabor88, I knew right away that I would make a dreamy post with sweet treats. So I really have looked forward to this post.

Normally on Valentine’s day, I send out photos ..a valentine’s day card. But this year, I indulged in sweet treats in real life, savoring each wonderful bite and I really did just enjoy the day. Instead, I opted for a delectable treats and a day of rest instead.

I love valentine’s day and wanted to do a month of sweet dreamy posts. I wanted to get lost in the moment of happiness. And maybe make a post inspired by legally blond. I love that movie. And I would be lying, if I said that movie wasn’t my muse. It totally was. There’s a scene where Elle Woods is sitting in her bed eating chocolate, after a break up. I think many people have gone through that upset. For some reason, second life seemed to curse a lot of my friends this past month. And that scene is one that always comes to mind, when I think of break ups–maybe because I’ve been there before. Who hasn’t?

This month has been nothing of love and hearts inworld for me personally, but in my dreams..and my pictures it was sweet sailing. So I let my love of all things sweet inspire me and a scene covered in pink–despite the sadness. I think even in that scene.. one can see the hope. Her friends coming to pull her out of her funk. Second life can be like that…so much. We go through a hard break with a friend, significant other, partner, etc, and we get Elle Woods in that moment. But it’s nice to see the hope through our friends.

What made my valentine’s day sweet inworld? It was my friends saying things that I needed to hear… not what I wanted to hear. It was the people who surrounded me in all things pink and reminded me that mistakes don’t define you. Anger is only temporary. And there are moments of calm. So maybe you have been touched by the second life Valentine’s Day curse. This post is for you my friend. I’m here to say, this too shall pass. Keep dreaming sweet things. Maybe indulge in something sweet in real life. If you can’t have that sweet treat in real life, maybe opt for something that you love to do instead. Whatever you do, just make sure to do something that makes you smile. And remember forgiveness is important, not for the other person, but for yourself. Holding on to anger and resentment only hurts us that much more in the end.

I came to the conclusion of what to write by a show called One Day At A Time. It’s about a Latino family living in Los Angeles, with all of its ups and downs of life. In one of the episodes, there was a woman struggling with anxiety. Recently, I’ve dealt with my own anxiety, during bad moments of pain. It can be scary and hard, especially when you can’t breath. But it was in that moment, I realized the importance of second life being a calm place. This isn’t a space where I want to be angry at anyone. My body makes me angry enough. This isn’t the place for it. And in that, I found forgiveness. I forgave anyone in that moment, because anger no longer served me. I can only hope that moment of clarity comes to others. It’s a gift. And if you seek a peaceful second life, it all starts within.

Before I end this blog post, I want to go into my fabulous outfit. My shirt, cardigan, skirt, and shoes are all by the fantastic Eliavah. She has really out done herself with this outfit. The texture and colors are so pretty. I felt soft and feminine. I just want to go out in the town and party the night away in this outfit. My skirt, cardigan, and shirt are available at Collabor88 and my shoes are for purchase at Equal10. Various pieces of my decor can be found at Collabor88. For more details, please check out my credits below.

Like On Vaca, Lets ALL Go

All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt. Charles M. Schulz

And I sure do need a little bit of chocolate. It’s that time of year again–chocolates, flowers, and hearts oh my. That’s right, Valentine’s day. is around the corner The grid is alive with events surrounding that special day along with the normal monthly events. And some of them have some amazing and even funny items. You can’t miss Uber, Collabor88, or one of my favorites this month–Cupid Inc.

I want to discuss briefly some of the items in the above photo. The rug game is from Astralia. It’s this really great and playful rug with games, pillows, and animations. It’s also from Cupid Inc. Anxiety made this really cheeky envelope with hair on it called the daunting lover, which is also from Cupid inc. The rose petals are also available at Cupid Inc and the dog house from Half Deer is also available at Cupid Inc..  My outfit is from Uber and by dead dollz. My hair is from doux at their mainstore. I would like to make a quick mention about this hair. The bow is sold separately, as well as the style options. It’s such cute hair. I adore it.

My girl ali is wearing an outfit from Scandalize from Collabor88. The balloons are from nomad, from this past Friday’s Fifty Linden Friday event. My wonderful and fabulous backdrop is from Foxcity. This cute wonderful dog in the dog house is from Collabor88 by black bantom. It is just too cute for words. Whew.. that’s a lot of items.

But, before I go, I want to discuss my picture. It was inspired by Legally Blond. I love that movie. I always thought it was cute and fun. I usually watch movies like that to perk me up and I watch stand up comedy to laugh. I’m always inspired by things that make me smile and/or laugh. I hope you enjoy this picture, as much as I have enjoyed taking it. If you like any of the items featured above, please look below for my credits.

A Bit of Down Time

 

 

 

 

If you are feeling some December blues, or even depression, don’t fight it. Instead, do something for yourself. Be reflective. Let the emotions exist. And be encouraged that, like me, you can get to a better place, but it can take time. Brad Feld

Tomorrow is blue Monday. It’s statistically the saddest day of the year. Be patient with those who are a little bit sadder or struggling. Depression is a hard illness. I was made aware of it by a real life friend. Even during happy times, sometimes people can feel a little bit blue.

Being in a virtual world, I think everyone has come in contact with someone who struggles with depression.  A lot of times, you feel like you want to help, but don’t know how. But yet..sometimes the best thing anyone can do is to just listen. And sometimes people try to hide it. Just being there for people helps a lot.

It’s not an easy thing to go and ask for help. It’s not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of strength though. The reason I bring this up is because this is the time of year people seem to struggle the most. Sometimes you try to smile brighter, be funnier, and hide behind every negative emotion. Yet on the inside, you have a looming cloud of darkness, over shadowing you. It is always okay to ask for help. And you are never alone. So if you are like many out there dealing with depression, please seek help and treatment. Seek out a trusted friend. There is always someone out there willing to listen.

Now that being said, I’d like to talk about this picture. Collabor88 has some really great stuff this round. My robe and lingerie are from Mossu. I absolutely love this entire outfit. My backdrop is from foxcity. And the shelf, robe on a hanger, and bathtub accessories are from foxwood. The backdrop, shelf, robe on the hanger, bathroom accessories, hair and outfit are available at this months Collabor88. My vanity can be purchased at this month’s round at Fameshed. I can not gush enough about these two events. I highly recommend them. And before I forget, my pose is from the latest round of pose fair by Bauhaus Movement. It’s called subtle infestation. I can not rave enough about these products. If you like any of the products above, please check out the pose fair, Collabor88, and Fameshed. As always, my credits can be found below this post.

As always,

Be Kind To One Another,

Cheers,

Violet xoxo

New beginnings

 

 

 

 

And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been. Rainer Maria Rilke

The holidays were a whirl wind. They had the ability to sneak up on me, when I least expected it. Before you know it, I was ordering presents, sending out baked goods (made by someone else of course), and wrapping gifts to place under my tree. I blinked right into a new year. Christmas day was a complete blur. New Year’s was a very welcomed new Beginning.

I usually do a year in review. But last year was one of those years.. I have no problem forgetting. It seemed like if it could go wrong, then it did. I had a close friend of mine tell me recently that not all years will be great. Some will be awesome. Some will be rough. Some will be frustrating.. Some will be.. well you get the point. The only thing you can do is fight like hell for happy moments and make the most of them.

I am working hard in real life and in second life to just be happy at the moment. Taking pictures is part of that process, so ..I really enjoyed taking this picture. And I hope others can see that. A few years ago, I always went out for New Years. I really wanted to portray that party scene with this picture. I couldn’t do that without the latest events, which leads me into my next topic…

The pose fair opened and this round seems to be even better than the last, and my favorite.. collabor88 also opened. A friend of mine has some really fun poses for sale. The poses in the picture are from Cuca@Design and the backdrop is from Illuzion, which are all available at the pose fair. My outfit is from collabor88 and the male in the picture is wearing an outfit from TMD event. ANDDDDD… GENUS. We HAVE to talk about the genus head. If you were part of the beta head, before it hit the store for sale, you get the baby face bento head FOR FREE! You just have to go to redelivery and it will be in the folder, to unpack. I was super excited to get the head. It isn’t featured in the above photo… but stay tuned. If you like any of the items featured in the above photo, please check out my credits.

Okay before I forget this, I want to make a quick note. Recently.. and bear with me, I watched a Taylor Swift concert on Netflix. Say what you will, about her…but her show was a lot of fun to watch. She talked about having a reputation. And there’s been a lot of discussion about reputations (it’s the name of her stadium tour). A reputation is none of our business. People will say things. Work hard. Ignore it. Your friends will know you. Sometimes you just have to focus on yourself and not worry about what is said about you. Work hard. Be good at what you do. People will love you. People will hate you, but how you feel about yourself is way more important. Her performance was just sort of magical… but I have a thing for dancing and singing. I like a good show. And… can someone please make a gold snake microphone.. kind of love that…  Yeah I had to write this article.. because that microphone was awesome. Also, I think it’s always good to have your own experiences with people, before you judge them–but that’s just me. The picture above was inspired by her concert. Oh and… always take anger and put it into something productive♥♥♥ Okay.. now that my thoughts have exploded on this page….  go shopping and buy those awesome things!!

Just Be YOU!

Holidays can be a really difficult time of the year for people. So I’m urging people to be kind to one another.

Cheers,

Violet XOXO

Quick note.. For the best results with the poses, please make sure to take off all huds and turn off all hand controls through the main and the hand hud . The right hand of the pose is suppose to have straight fingers. I tried multiply times with the Firestorm viewer and the only way to get the fingers to straighten was to take off every hud and turn off hand movements. My apologies to Cuca@Designs. I tried turning them off the hand pose through the maitreya hud and the separate hand hud, but it failed. And I did not realize it until the picture was posted.

Normally, I don’t post a picture and credits first, BUT I have been a very busy girl in all world. As you can see above, I’ve been busy shopping and decorating (in both worlds!). I debated making this two separate posts. But I took the first picture and then received a few things from one of my sponsors and I wanted to make it a series. And so here we are.

There are a TON of great shopping right now. I’ve been to Kustom9, Tannenbaum, The Arcade, Uber, The epiphany, and black friday shopping.. whew so much shopping. And I did some real life shopping too….my poor wallet. But as you can see, I’ve been super busy planning this photo. This holiday season, you will see warm and cozy posts, featuring some great pieces by creators. They have surely been working super hard and it shows.

I’ve had some worried friends online and I want to assure everyone… I really am okay. I’ve been really busy in both worlds. Managing the holidays and physical therapy is definitely challenging. And I’ve had a few tough days thrown into the mix. Things will calm down soon. I’m sure of it. But I am working hard to create pictures that  I can be proud of.. and I hope that you like them too.

I have included all of my credits, below the photos. I thought this may be a bit easier to navigate due to the amount of items in each picture. My theme for this month with Peace, love, and joy. I encourage all residents to put issues aside, come together, and be friendly. Peace on Earth …good will toward one another is the true essence of the holidays. Lets love one another enough to care about each other. We can not live without the help of each other…and humanity can be a beautiful gorgeous part of life, when we seek the positive out of life. I hope you fill your heart with love and share that love with others this wonderful holiday season

Much love, Violet XOXO

Be Kind To One Another.. and lets try taking care of each other this holiday season ♥

It’s time to talk a little bit about all of the events sweeping the grid. Eliavah made this absolutely adorable outfit. It’s available at The Season’s Story. I do not want to take it off. It’s so warm and cozy.. and cute. Well, I love it, as you can see. I highly recommend it. I think this may be my go to fall outfit. My shoes are by Utopia@Design and available at Fameshed. I paired them with a pair of heart tights from Izzie’s. Then finally, I added some fabulous hair from Tableau Vivant, which is now available at The Event (arcade). I really love all of these evens and I highly recommend a visit to each of them. If you like any of the pieces featured in the above photo, please check out my credits below.

And in closing, I want to make a quick mention of the sim that this photo was taken in. Mystic Timbers is holding a Halloween contest with some fantastic prizes. I’ve copied the notecard that’s available at the Mystic Timber’s entrance. You should definitely check it out.

A Mystical Halloween.

With halloween fast approaching we are planning a photo challenge on the Mystic Timbers sim, it will not be a competition, just an expression of work of things that go bump in the night.

At the end, a halloween party will take place, where the picture entrants will be drawn to win random prizes, so no matter what level of pictures you take, you stand the same chance as everyone who enters.

Rules : Simply pictures must be taken on the sim , and be halloween related.

DATE : 24th Sep until 24th October 2018
Draw will take place on Tuesday 30th October 12 Noon SLT. Where DJ Nitah will play, and the draw will be completed.

Title your picture – A Mystical Halloween
Including the Mystic Timbers SLURL in description

For taking part all entries will be entered into a prize draw

Violet XOXO
