Teenage Dirtbag (More Arcade Goodies Preview!)

Oh dear.. another day and another blog post? I might just be on a role. Or maybe it's just the fact that Arcade is almost here, and I always get uber excited when Arcade is upon us! I have just a couple more to show you guys cus.. I'm lucky enough to have a couple review packs out before the actual event is out... and well.. you're just going to die. Natalee Oodles, my uber talented awesome friend made more charm bracelets, and a charm necklace. BUT! Get this.. it's actually VILLAINS related! I mean.. forget the good guys, I like the villains. And.. I honestly genuinely believe that Natalee does love me now. I mean... Maleficent... HORNS. ON A HEADBAND. This was just made for me! This one is one of the rare prices, and it might just be one of my of my favorite releases for the Arcade, just because.. in my pretty little mind, it was made just for me. Natalee, you disagree, I'll kill you :). 

Not only do we have the awsome charms and headband by Noodles, but Olive has made a nice line of briefcases, and they also have them in backpack mode. One of my favorites, other than the Hogwarts colors, ofc, it's the one with the Mickey ears and the color pattern.. and the pretty bow on top all Minnie mouse like.. Rose.. this was just freaking brilliant, I loved it. So.. today.. I wanted to put it all together to make a very awkward look, cus.. I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby <3. Now.. let's just glare at the calendar until it's the first, sounds like a plan? I THINK SO.

My Favorite Places

So just like every Monday.. Berry posted her challenge up, and today it's about your favorite places. And I sat for a while. I mean.. my list is pretty boring. I either shop, or stay in a platform forever. So.. I doubted pictures of a white box would have been very interesting, besides, it's not neat AT ALL, so.. that was out of the question. But.. then I thought.. when I'm not working, I actually do stuff... other than shopping.. I roleplay! And I mean, right now there's very few places that I enjoy, all with the drama and lame people, just.. no.. You know? Like.. not even going to be going into it because I don't like to be negative, but.. whatever. There's one place in the grid however, that always has me going back to it, and that's Mischief Managed. I've talked about it a lot of times, but.. it's picturesque, and it has awesome RP stuff going on, so.. of course I would love it. Further more, there's also a new sim around the grid for Game of Thrones RP that an old friend of mine that I met in Mischief Managed brought me too, and I've been having a lot of fun there too! So.. I guess my two favorite places in the grind are.. Mischief Managed, and Crownlands! 

I also wanted to take a couple moments right now to speak about a couple new releases. One.. Umm.. Can we please talk about the new uniforms that Damien Fate released for his Fateplay line? It has kid mesh sizes. You know.. they fit child av's, without toddleedoo, and not only that.. they're actually well made, and mesh. I think the whole Hogwarts community in SL wept in joy when this was released. 

Now.. shifting. ARCADE! Arcade is upon us, and I've been lucky enough to get a couple previews, and some more that i'll share in a blog post later this week. But.. well, if you're like me, you're awaiting for the Arcade to open up while jumping up and down your chair. No, really, is okay, this release is sooo exciting. For once.. the cute adorable chipmunks of MishMish.. I mean.. words can't even describe how adorable they are! And then you have the release of Lark. Lark is new this round in the Arcade, and I couldn't be happier to see them in this line up! Like.. It's uber exciting because Sienia is an amazing talented designer that works extremely hard and her creativity is just.. extraordinary. I think the release she made for the Arcade just shows us a glimpse of not only her talent, but that amazing creativity that she possesses that sets her apart from every designer out there. Her books and bookcase are really cleverly done, and the texturing is some of the best that I've seen in the gird in those books, and I'm not even exaggerating. I love these. So.. make sure to keep an out for her, and visit her store for other amazing stuff! Meanwhile, sit with me and glare at your pc, until it's time for you to get into the Arcade!

Slytherin' Up with a 42.

So it really shouldn't be a surprise that I love anything and everything Harry Potter. But.. well.. I should seriously change that. I don't love Harry Potter. I love the Death Eaters, and Voldemort, and the Malfoys, and Slytherin. So with school starting up, and also Mischief Managed about to start a new school year, I decided to do a small Slytherin look for my blog today, because.. I mean, why wouldn't I?

One of my favorite activities in Second Life is roleplaying. Before I got into blogging, and before I started to try to be a wanna be builder, all I did was roleplay. This goes back like.. Oh God guys.. 2006? I started out in Gor, like a lot of people, and then started moving towards either Hogwarts sims, or Urban sims. I still remember my first Hogwarts, with Harry Prefect and Darcy Ruthledge as owners. I met some amazing people there that I still keep in contact.. at times, I have to admit, I'm so shy at times I don't, but! I still keep in touch and love them, and have very fund memories of them. Now, I find myself in an awesome Hogwarts inspired sim, that is just so breath taking and well built, I guess it would be the closest thing to being in Hogwarts for real. I adore this sim, and I actually can't wait to be a part of the new school year! I'm going to be around amazing friends, new and old, and I think it's going to be fantastic. 

So.. I guess this ties in with the group meme that Berry posted this week, because as a blogger, wanna be builder, and a role player, juggling group spots is sooo hard! So I thought I'd give a crack at the meme this week. Here we go! 

Meme Instructions: Answer the following questions about groups and share some of your favs with us. Don’t forget to leave your link in the comments!

1. Have you reached the 42 group limit? Yup. All the time, regardless how many times I try to clean up! Welp.
2. Do you do a lot of group hopping to keep up with all the groups you want to stay a part of? Yup, it's the only way to try to be able to manage them, really.
3. What makes you want to join a group? Either they have to be a designer that I completely and totally love, a roleplay community I'm very active in, or blogger groups. With designers moving to subscriber style things that send you the item instead of you having to join a group it's starting to become easier to manage. Still though.. designers that don't use this system- PLEASE DO! Kay? Kay. I am so glad we had this talk.
4. A lot of store VIP groups have a group fee which you have to pay to join. How do you feel about paying group fees? I'm not a huge fan of group fees either. Though.. i guess.. at very few places it's worth it. The only two groups that I've joined that have group fees are Auxiliary, Mon Tissu, and Gos. The only reason is because the benefits surely do outweigh the cost. Though I'm starting to double thing about Mon Tissu, that was a hefty joining fee, and very little for it, I'll be honest. 
5. Name a few groups that you are a part of that you feel everyone should look into joining and share your reasons behind that.
   –>Mischief Managed - why? Because Harry Potter. Need I say more? I've always wanted to embark in my own Hogwarts story, and I finally get the chance to do it, so.. if you're an uber Harry Potter fan like I am.. join! But keep in mind.. Slytherin are the only cool people. If you're not Slytherin, you're really not part of the cool group. Specially if you're a badger. LOOKING AT YOU SCARLET CHANDRAYAAN!
   –> Auxiliary VIP group. You get free gifts often, and even though you have to pay a joining fee, Tyr and Ivy's designs are amazing. Love them.
   –> Noodles VIP group. Because.. Nat is an amazing jewelery designer, and she gives store credit for your purchases if you're wearing your VIP tag, and free group gifts. Just for a small joining fee. So of course it's worth joining!
   –> SLBlogger support if you're a blogger is a must! You get to keep up with the community and what's going on, and there's always someone there if you have questions, and they have a nifty little website that keeps up with everything blogger. Love that group.
   

So that's it for the 42 Blogger challenge..and.. don't forget to join Mischief Managed to become a Slytherin today! Big things will be happening soon! I promise. And don't join the Hufflepuff house. Badgers like to pretend they're cool.. but.. come on, really?

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever! So I wanted to do something brief, I've just been getting into so many shenanigans lately it's hard to keep up with it all! I'm starting to work on mesh more, so that means my work here has been suffering, and with mesh comes stress, and with stress comes a destressant or something, which has been hanging around Inka, who will now be writing with us here in the blog! HOORAY for that! I'm actually uber exciter for Inka joining in here and being my blogging partner, and just.. partner in everything, I love that girl's face, and i've also been rp'ing a little.. but.. never the less, I decided to share some more new goodies, some from collab, others are old things, others are just.. I love them and you'll have to deal okay? Good. 

So Lelutka, new hair, and it comes with a hat.. obviously the hat didn't go with the outfit, but I totally loved the hair, it has a very free flowing form, and even though the picture /is/highly/edited/ the hair is for sure worth going over and demo'ing it. I mean.. comes with a hat, come on! Then I totally love this suit from Ison.. it's totally adorable, and just.. so mainly in a feminine manner, I love the draping work and just.. amazing work. Then.. we have fri.day who re released a couple of heels of hers, and I'm just totally in love, I'm loving slink add on shoes now, guys, I thought I wouldn't but.. I have to admit, the look of them is just amazing. So.. that brings us to accessories, LaGyo is one of my favorite places for jewelry, it's eccentric, high fashion, and just me, and it's also affordable, this set, the one with the cuff, actually comes with an HUD that allows you to change the color of the pieces so you can match your cuff to the outfit, or just make a color palette that you enjoy. The tattoo is new, from Tenjin for the Acid Lily event, which basically is all new, and has a new line up, and I'm uber excited. The tattoo is in a mesh sleeve, so you don't have to have it repeat in both arms, I kind of loved that, to be honest, and it also has the tattoo option if you want it repeating. Finally we have accessories by Remarkable Oblivion, whom I love, duh! I believe the headband is free in a group gift, if you join the group, though it might have been taken down.. you'll have to check, but the group is free to join! That's it for today guys! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Debaser!

It's the start of a new week, and it took me a while to get another blog post rolling out, but this weekend was the week of hell! Mainly been in bed all of the weekend, and right now.. honestly? I can't wait to get back in it! Treatment takes a huge tole on me, and well, I'm just glad that blogging is my only job, else I'd be kinda messed up! But.. One thing I love about Mondays is the fact that  it's Meme Mondays! I loooove Berry's memes, most of the times it's a good way for our readers to get to know more about us, and it's also a good way to get to know ourselves just a little bit. Or sometimes just make fools of ourselves. Others like the movie poster challenge, have fun! This week is all about inventory. Welp. I hate inventory. That Narnia of doom that feels like it's going to explode. Granted, I've done an okay job at keeping things boxed.. just.. no. Bad Narnia. Bad! So.. I'm going to start with today's meme.. and scare a couple of people that, perhaps. 

What is your current inventory number? – 55,885. I do a lot of boxing, luckily, so it's managed to knock a good couple thousand out (pro tip I learned in plurk, sizes you don't use, like the L's and stuff, box them! That way they don't bulk you up. 

If you had to delete your whole inventory and could only keep one thing, what would it be? – Totally going to copy Berry here, and say my hair folder. I'd die if it went missing, like.. so much work, so much love, so many linden. 

What is the last thing you purchased? –  I actually don't remember, it's been about two weeks since I've gone shopping, I've been absolutely broke RL, so.. yeah, no shopping until check clears. I'm looking at you Compass Bank. 

Which item do you wear most often? – Essences skin. Any of them! Right now is the Sash skin, because.. I mean, Sash. 

When you search for the word penis, how many items pop up? (NO LYING!) – HAHA! I'm a good girl. Prove! NOTHING. http://gyazo.com/7dbc6444fe7d3c5c485724ac6d5c130b Gyazo'd for prove! I'm a very good and sweet and innocent girl! HAHA.

With that being said. BLOGGERS! Shoetopia is looking for bloggers: Make sure to apply here. Or don't. I mean.. more chances for me to get on :D. This post I made so I could apply actually. Some of my favorite shoes are these Gos shoes. I love the fact that they're black. Frilly, and they have a skin match system with a mesh foot to perfectly match my amazing skin. So by far.. I have to say that these Gos shoes are just.. amazing. And the platform.. I mean.. I can go around normal sl, and be okay sized with all the giant SL people.. and all without messign with my shape! I completely just adore these shoes. R3volt also has a new release.. these panties just.. they're way too adorable, I love the frills, I love the teal polkadots of it, and the little bows around them... my favorite short shorts now. I kept it very simple with the styling. Used one of the cuffs from Noodles, and the bag, which i love, from Adore&Abhor because.. I mean.. giant fortune cookie.. why wouldn't I love these amazing little bag? If your'e more into the eccentric, cute things in the grid, this is by far a must! And I finished it off with hair from Lelutka, and my Sash skin from Essences, new from Collabor88! That's really about it, I feel like I'm rambling on and on about awesome stuff, but.. that's about it folks! Happy Shopping! And if you're applying for Shoetopia, good luck!

Fly Me to the Moon

It's Collabor88's birthday again, it's weird.. thinking that I've been in SL this long. But let's see.. last year.. I didn't even blog. Not at this time, no, but I was getting incredibly close to coming into the blogging scene.. or rather making my mind up finally. Welp. I spent all my lindens in Collab and.. oh.. wait.. no.. no. That hasn't changed. :/. I guess I do get some review copies now, but.. I'd like to say.. blogging is not a hobby to get free crap. I mean, yes, the free stuff designers give us does help a lot. But! For the most part.. we buy. Just like you. If not more, just so we're able to keep up with the current trends and deliver you new inventive outfits to spice up your sl life. Rant over. But.. I'd like to add that.. in just one year, the growth of every single designer out there is just.. spectacular. I mean, Fri.day. I've always LOVED fri.day. Huge fan of her work, but.. you know what? The growth she's made in the past year, moving out of sculpts and layers, it's been huge! These shoes that go along with Slink feet (WARNING! YOU NEED SLINK MEDIUM FEET((POINTY TOE ONES)) IN ORDER TO WEAR THESE AMAZINGLY ADORABLE SHOES.) just come to prove the incredible growth that Darling Monday has had as a designer, and let's not even bring up her furniture shop, we'd be talking for DAYS. Tyr Rozemblum. I ADORE Tyr's designs.. Have for years. I actually told her this. I've been following her since.. well, back in the days of Tyranny designs when she had the skins, and stuff.. found her in a hunt, never let go as a costumer, and now look at her, in my opinion, she does some of the best mesh drape work I've seen, and the texturing, it's just.. simply divine. This dress speaks volumes of just how far Tyr has come as a designer, Love this. And you know what.. this year has also brought a lot of new designers, point in case, Aime Takaaki of MishMish. It seems like just yesterday that Celeste Forwzy came strolling around with the shrubbie, and saying in skype "oh.. MishMish" to the point that I would just double over laughing. Now.. months after that shrubbie, she's in the Arcade, in Collab, and look at these adorable things she's made, and that moon for limited 50? Can you really get any more adorable that that? Toy wise, she's one of my favorite designers, and she's one of the kindest people that I know. Finally, we have the Sash skin, which.. I love. Yes, it not only has my name on it, but it looks so adorable, I just can't with it. I've followed Inka since.. well.. back when I used to frequent the dressing room, and now she's also in the line up for collab, even if it's just as a guest. All of these people.. have such an amazing talent, and just looking back at how the year has passed, and how they've grown, well, I get a little sentimental. That's really all I have to say.. just.. make sure to visit Collab in this special event, their birthday! And get some amazing stuff to add to your Narnias!

What's Your Sign?

So.. due to technical difficulties, I missed last meme, but.. fear no more! I am doing these weeks! Now that we have gotten the difficult.. well.. some of it anyways, stuff out of the way, we can move on to light hearted crap once more, all while trying to keep the promise we made in the last challenge. Positive, and crap like that? Kidding :D But.. yes, it's time for us to have some fun! Here we go to Berry's questions, followed by some more random crap by.. yours truly. And also.. just because I'm genuinely proud of how this turned out.. I'm including a raw shot, cus.. yeah.. I didn't know I could do this. RAW SHOT TIME.

What is your birthday and/or Zodiac sign? – November 24th, I'm a Sagittarius. Hence the pic!  

Do you believe in or follow astrology? – Not really, no.. I mean, sometimes I do it for fun, but most of the time, I think it's just lucky guesses. Lucky broad guesses. So I guess that's really it? However, sometimes it's really really fun to look up at stuff online and be like.. *welp* That's sooo me! Or "Omg, that's sooo true!" And then you forget it and go on with your daily activities pretty much. 

Do you feel your sign’s attributes reflect who you are? – Free spirted, and extremely loyal. Honest to a fault, and extremely clumsy. :/ I'm kinda out of luck, aren't I? At least I'll have fun being lead blindly to my doom? Kinda feels like that's what it's meant to be.... but.. joking aside! They say we're good leaders, I don't feel like I am though, I tend to be quieter, and just.. stay to myself, I'm scared of hurting others, so... yeah.. that good leader thing.. not so much. 

Have you ever been to a psychic or astrologer either in RL or in SL (are there any in SL?) No, kind of want to go though! Just for the lol's, of course.

Do you read your horoscope daily and try to follow any advice, recommendations or warnings it may have for you that day? They still do the daily thing with advice and what is going to happen this week? *welp* well, there's your answer, folks! 

Do you have very strong feelings about astrology, either negative or positive? Not really, they're fun to read.. but that's just about it, I don't believe in them, run my life by them, or anything.. I just do my own thing. 

Yay! This week was short! I guess I don't have much to say on the subject.. but.. the quote I used on my picture, I thought it represents what is said about Sagittariuses in a positive way. It's said by Richard Bach, a writer, and whether you're a Sagittarius or not.. this quote is beautifully inspiring. "Dream what you dare to dream, Go where you want to go, be what you want to be. Live." Gorgeous, and rings soooo true for anyone! 

Other than that.. Collab just opened up.. and the lovely Inka Mexicola, my new wife, might I add.. just.. don't even ask. There was eloping, and crying and lots of love, but.. whatever, she named this skin after me, and I felt so special.. cus.. no one has ever named anything after me, so.. waterworks, and crap like that, but.. the skin comes in different make up sets, or you can make your own like I do, and add all kinds of stuff to it, like my freckles and beauty marks. Natalee Oodles also made a wonderful set in memory of Millie Gears that's worth picking up for sure. I mean.. headbands. We all know how that gets me excited. Finally, this little set by Rose is creating quite a stir, and it's available at SL Fashion week! So make sure to go and grab yours so you don't feel left out! That's really about all for today guys! Have a good one!
