Recovering what’s lost…

Saturday my hard drive crashed. I lost everything. It was a nightmare. I’m still recovering data lost. Family photos, SL Photos, you name it –all gone. These things we take for granted. Now that the life’s lesson is out there. Back up your shit. Seriously folks. Back up that which is important to you. Get a memory stick for family photos, since it’s all digital now. And Just store them on it as well as your computer. That way, when your computer decides to take a dump on itself, you don’t lose your cherished memories. I’ll never recover that picture of Kilo, Suite, and I standing naked in the middle of a club in nothing but bunny ears…wait, maybe that wasn’t a photo, maybe that was one of my nightmares… Anyway, speaking of things of nightmares – I lost my copy of Photoshop. Which is where this long winded rant comes to a point. You see, without Photoshop I can’t edit my photos so, you’re stuck with some janky in world photos of the items I’m going to talk about. For this, I am sorry, because there are some really great details on the items for today’s installment of “Would Rose just STFU and show us the goods already?!” FINE BE THAT WAY :P tryin’ to tell you all a story and this is the treatment I get?! *sniffles*….

Okay so:  Today we have a special necklace from Skream!, An Evies Closet gown, Some Baxies, Earrings from Dahlinks, and a top hat from UK Couture. Yeah, I’m sharing where I bought the hat *sighs* I love muh hat! Anyway, I was really looking for a bridal gown and of course had to give it my own funky twist because, who wants just a plain white dress?! Although, the Evies Closet Aventine gown is unique in its own right anyway. The collar, the veil, the skirt with it’s bustle, the whole ensemble is just fantastic! I’ve shopped at Evies for a very long time. I found the store when I first started in SL and have been in love with her creations since. 

Which brings me to the jewelry. The necklace was a special blogger necklace sent out for us blogger types but I’m sure it’s available for sale as it’s fabulously done. Simple in it’s overall design but, unique as well. I love the way it lays across my chest. It’s different. And the black pearls give it a unique blend of funky elegance from Skream! :) The Celtic Hoop Earrings from Dahlinks are a near staple in my wardrobe lately. I just love these earrings. The details in the hoops themselves are phenomenal, and the color change/resize scripts make it so easy to have them in copper, bronze, steal, silver, or gold! It doesn’t get much better!

Combined it all with my Bax boots of course, you can’t see too much of them peaking out from below the folds of fabric but, they’re down there. My white baxies How I love thee…

And naturally, my hat. I love my hat. Absolutely LOOOOOVE my hat! It’s from UK Couture and IS a staple in my wardrobe. You will not see Roselynn Darkstone on the grid without this hat or her bracers. If you do, question if she’s really her.

Also Worn:

Skin: Frick! Fisticuffs skin in cream injured.

Bracers: They’re Mien. No really, I’m not telling where I obtained these. :P

Lip Piercing: Skream!

Eyes: PC Eyes but I’m not tellin’ which :P

keep stylin’!

Rose goes to Gor – Say what?!

    Now I know what you’re thinking. Likely what my mother used to say to me… “Jesus Christ, what were you thinking!?”. Well, Suite and I wanted to go shopping, and I was totally trying for something off the main stream grid. Tired of wearing what everyone else is sporting… So we bounced from new store to new store until we landed at Gor Gurls Mainstore. Let me tell you this store is NOT what you think. The designs are wonderfully original. Some pirate theme garb, some casual garb, some definitely Gorean garb, but all in all, inexpensive reasonably priced clothing that ANYONE, not just Goreans can wear!! Suite and I were VERY impressed. There was so much that we wanted to buy, I’m likely going to eventually. So now that I’ve gone on and on about the store, let me tell you about the outfit I finally settled upon…

First of all, I’m writing this half awake, I didn’t get much sleep last night thanks to some birds waking me up before dawn mimicking someone’s alarm clock, or maybe that actually was the alarm clock, I’m not entirely sure…

Anyway, This outfit is called “Gor Gets Checked:Tan” I’ve paired the dress with a pair of J’s Goth Lace up boots in brown and that cute little bandana? That comes with the dress! There are Two top versions, with or without undershirt. The only thing I will tell you is be prepared for no glitch pants, or underwear. But it’s okay, you can’t tell there’s nothing on underneath, except when you’re dancing  and…well..yeah.. then the whole world see’s your yahyah… nobody wants that… So I’ve stuck on my blacklace panties underneath. Any pair will do, you can’t see it anyway.

Also worn:

Skream! lip piercing: all of their piercings are fabulous I’m not revealing which is mine :P

Hair: Deviant Kitties - Uruha

Eyes, Skin, Hat, and Bracers are all mine. I no tells. It’s muh signature look  :P

Two Birds, as they say…

I’m not sure who “they” are but, I certainly haven’t killed any birds. Though I have considered taking out these damned Canadian Geese that are all over the place. These darned birds are crazy! I should know.  They shall soon be migrating back home to annoy the northern folks, for now, I’ll save my rant on the down feathered fiends and how they are evil beyond a shadow of a doubt!

What I will tell you about is two really cool things I picked up. One’s an older piece I grabbed a while back but never managed to blog for some reason. I think I was hoarding it to myself because I really love the funky, sexy, unique look it brings.  The texture and prim work on this creation is absolutely phenomenal! My photographs don’t do this outfit near the justice it deserves and so, I ask you all to visit LeeZu! and check out the Efraims Daughter set in the NOIR section. I’ve included their advertisement in the blog as well so you can see their representation.  As for my photographs of it, well I wanted to include a new purchase I made..

The HiBria piano includes 10 female poses and is 18 prims. I have to admit that I am not fond of pose furniture for photography in SL as it tends to make everyone’s photo’s look the same, however, I have to give this credit where it’s due. It’s fabulously done, the poses are wonderfully positioned, even for us long legged avi’s. And with 10 separate poses to choose from, the price is well worth it. The prim work on the piano itself is beautifully done.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve been inspired to tickle my own ivories.
