slGoth Presents: The Truth About Bats & Avies

     They settle for the rest during the rising dawn

So call them your friend

         the little friends that go flap in the night.

                      Poem by K.M. Lascivia

The Truth About Bats & Avies Charity Festival for

Bat World Sanctuary (batworld.org) is in full swing over at the slGoth offices on the Morphe sim. 

In addition to an awesome collection of amazing designers you will also find the Bats in the Belfry Hunt taking place on the Morphe sims. 

For all the details: 

The Truth About Bats & Avies" Charity Festival for Bat World Sanctuary

Along the outside wall of the magazine office you will find some stunning images of some pretty cute lil fuzzies.. err ahh bats.  If you click the image you will be given a web link to find out the story of each lil fuzzywuzzy... um I mean each bat.  

My adorable lil dress is from Petite Mort and can be found over at The Mad Circus Halloween & Gacha fair. 

Now of course you know my nails are from Dark Passions - Koffin Nails, but did you know they are part of the Bats & Avies charity event?  They sure are!  And to make them even better they are a 100% donation to the sanctuary.  Every L you spend on this polish set will go help feed the cuties.  While you are there snatch up one of the other batty designs which are all at 50% donation towards the sanctuary!  Gotta love that!   The HUD includes 9 color variations of this design and is available in Slink, Belleza and Maitreya styles (each sold separately of course.)

You can also grab these heels from Petite Mort over at The Mad Circus event. They really are striking and will go perfectly for your upcoming Day of the Dead ensembles. 

And to top it all off a perfectly creepy top hat from [Kaos] which is available at the mainstore.  This lovely lil topper comes in seven colors and includes a resizer to help you get just  the right size for your look.. because well size matters! (Ok really we should not let me blog past my bed time!)

#F*CKCANCER ~ The Lexi Project

It's time for Sneak Peek again and this time around I found skullies!  How cute is this lil skirt and tank set from femme couture? I am totally loving the fun soft look of it. It's sexy and sassy all at once!

Speaking of sexy & sassy, one of our own in SL has taken ill and some of amazing folks have put together a fund raising event to benefit Lexi Zelin the owner of AngelRed Couture. Now even if you don't think you know AngelRed, you probably do. Lexi is one of the top meshers that help bring all the wonderful designs to SL. She is so well loved that in a matter of a few days this event has over 350 designers participating with 100% of sales going to Lexi to help with her medical bills. How rad is that? 

So folks this is the shopping event to hit this week.  It is HUGE! As it should be. While you are there be sure to grab this lovely necklace from DeadPool Fashion.  The detail in this is stunning.

She's so California

'Cause she's so California

She's a wildfire out of control, headed for ya

So, when you get burned, don't say I didn't warn ya

'Cause she's so California

                                                             ~Gary Allan

Let me start by saying this post right here... this is so me.  Those that know me will pick up on all the little things in here that are me, although I do admit that I totally wish my rusty old truck was that cool. Yes folks, Guennie is a little bit country!  Shocking isn't it?  Trust me I am more than a little bit goth too, although in RL my days are spent in cowboy boots and jeans not fishnets and minis.  Somehow a mini doesn't work too well riding a horse.  

So when I first heard about the Americana Collection from Petite Mort I was so excited.  I was absolutely hoping for something that conveyed the casual country style that I love without all the cheesy cliches that are often way over done.  I was hoping for stylings that are not only hip and cool but sexy in a simple way. OMG that is exactly what we got!. All the pieces are designed to mix and match. In addition to the tees and pants I have shown you here, there are cami tops, skirts and an adorable lil sundress (and I hear more items are planned for the future.) The tees and camis all come with a texture change HUD with some really great designs. 

Seriously I am in love! 

I know Dante already told you about the new eyes from VerseEye here: There's A New Game. If you haven't looked yet pop on over ad take a peek. She has a fab pic with all the colors available in this stunning collection. By now you know that the quality of eyes from VerseEye is top notch.  I know I will be loving on this collection for quite some time.

How cute is this lil beaded necklace from Kaos?  It is available in a variety of colors and perfect for this look. Of course I have on some super sexy heels from DeadPool. The Star heels should soon be available on the marketplace. 

Don't forget to finish off your look with a perfect mani / pedi from Dark Passions - Koffin nails.  This set is currently only available for slink hands and feet. You can snatch it up at My Slink Obsession until July 22.

She's So California - Gary Allan

One last lil tidbit.  I grew up with Gary.  Had a HUGE crush on him. He was one of my big brother's best pals and surfing buddies.  So many good childhood memories with him.  I love seeing him follow his dreams!

Alice in Her Party Dress

Alice in her party dressed to kill

She thanks you turns away

She needs you like she needs her pills

To tell her that the world's ok

To promise her a definition

Tell her where the rain will fall

Tell her where the sun shines bright

And tell her she can have it all

Today

Today

Alice

Don't give it way

Lyrics from Alice by The Sisters of Mercy

     Who can resist a bit more Alice of the Alice in Sexy Land event? I know you saw all the important details over on Dante's post here: And If You Go Chasing Rabbits. While she showed you the super cute Alice look I have one of the other designs from Dark Passions to show you.  

    The Tweedle Me outfit comes in two versions, a traditional one or a more Burtonesque black and white version. Don't ya just love it? During the event it is 20% off so you can snatch it up for 200L. Better hurry though, because it will go back to the reg price when it hits the mainstore / marketplace.

I love these big stompy boots that Ana from Kaos sent me a while back. I think they are a lot of fun with this dress.  

In keeping with my red makeup the red Lucidity eyes from Fix8 are perfect. I really really love this line of eyes and just can't pick a favorite.

The Sisters of Mercy - Alice

Came In From A Rainy Thursday...

...On the avenue

Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio

Still I can't escape the ghost of you...

More lovelies from 100 Block!  Guennie just did the most amazing and stunning post already showing you this shirt and these nails from Dark Passions - Koffin Nails so you need to go over and check that out here.  Omg that girl is stunning.  And the little piggies just give me a giggle, I love her take on things!  Full of fun and whimsy it's a beautiful post.

So, I'm showing you the shirt and nails as well because well, they're cute.  Both in a Ouiji theme the shirt and nails come in multiple colors and are all HUD controlled.  The mesh shirt comes in the standard sizes for a perfect fit and the nail HUD gives you 12 different options in the same HUD!

Ok so you already know that Guennie has shown you the shirt and nails but here's the thing...we often (maybe too often lol) share the same brain.  Both of us ended up pairing the shirt and nails with Kaos Platform Boots, a Deadpool Fashion Skull Pendant, and FIX8 Lucidity Eyes.  We're like twisted little twins.  But, on a good note, Syke the genius over at FIX8 had made a request about us being in pastel looking like the DoubleMint Twins so I guess it's some subconscious dream fulfillment!  So enjoy it Syke, this one's for you!

The Kaos boots come in multiple colors and are absolutely lovely and go with so many outfits...skirts, pants, shorts, you name it.  Go grab 'em!

The Lucidity Eyes are just simply stunning.  Every time I get a new set of FIX8 eyes I think they're my favorite and then he comes out with another to top the last and I just can't stand it.  Too many pretty choices!  I need some weird avi with multiple eyes in my head to wear them all!

Finally, Delirium Style....omg!  I've made it a point to look for their items at events but for whatever reason I had never been to the inworld store.  I don't know why.  So not too long ago I popped over there and right away there were CSR's that greeted me and offered to help me find anything that I may need.  While shopping I had a little issue and one immediately came over to help me out and I was on my way.  Very friendly folks!  And the clothes............oh lord have mercy the clothes!  So ya, I shopped like a damn lunatic and one of the items you can see here, the Strappy Shorts.  Another HUD controlled item, you can customize these 'til the cows come home for amazing matching options!  Get over there can check them out, so much pretty!!!

Is Anybody Listening?

I hear echoes in the garden.

Is anybody listening?

From the story of Susa Bubble at Rose Borchovski's Echoes in the Garden.

SL doesn't always have to make sense. It doesn't always have to be logical, sometimes it is whimsical, sometimes it is absolutely beautiful. 

My images are all taken at the lovely and captivating art installment Echoes in the Garden from Rose Borchovski. This is truly one to see. 

My outfit today will take you all over the grid gathering up these wonderful items. From DeadPool and Dark Passions at the 100 Block event, to a run through Collabor88 and a quick stop over at Chapter Four, with all the other wonderful stores in between. There really are some great deals in this look!

Thank you for listening!

Pop!

Pop Goes the World!

Who would really want to live in a world that was 50 shades of dull?  Sometimes you need a POP of color!  

I went wandering at the latest MetaLES exhibit: Sparkys by Romy Nayar and met up with some rather interesting and colorful characters.  This exhibit has you moving through the sim in all kinds of fun ways, including a train and a hot air balloon.  It really is worth a visit!

Before you go though take a jump over to Suicide Dollz and grab up this super cute pastel tank top from Dark Passions. It includes all the standard sizes and a color HUD so you get a handful of colors to pick from.  While you are at Suicide Dollz be sure to pick up these awesome heels from Biscuit.  The pack includes 4 colors all for one low price!  You cant beat that.  My pants are also from Biscuit, but you will have to hop over to the main store for these. They too include a color HUD with some lovely shades for spring and black as well.

I poked thru my Inv and dug up this cute lil batty ring from Kaos, how perfect is it for this look? <3

Now of course you know the usual suspects are in this look. My skin is Mystic Canvass, I swear I rarely take this beauty off. It is just porcelain perfection. I am still lovin on the Fight eyes from Fix8.  They really are something to see!
