Luck of the Irish!

 Hey gothlings, I wasn't planning on doing a 'St. Patrick's day' post this year, but, being part- Irish I couldn't let the day go unrecognised and seeing as we're still all in lockdown over here in the UK (&Ireland), this is my celebration! Hope you like it! I also still had a few more things I wanted to show you from the Home and Garden Expo, so if you haven't been over there yet, make sure you do!

Twisted Infinity

     Life in 2217 is hard for synth-humans. They may have created us, but after the Cybernaught Wars the humans began to understand how much of a threat we could be to them. Since then we have been persecuted. Our very existence deemed a huge slur in human history. We are denied any right to life. We are outlawed and dismantled upon sight. There are but a handful of us left.

      Outwardly we appear much the same as them. It is only in our eyes that we are different. For they say the eyes are the window to the soul. But we have no soul.

(These amazing eyes are currently songbird's twisted hunt gift. Not only do they look amazing, but they are also animated and SCROLL. Unfortunately I haven't figured out vlogging yet, so I am unable to show you the animation :/ Twisted hunt runs til 31st March, get your hunting shoes on and grab these while you still can!)

     I never did understand the humans' love of bars, but here, in this bar, I can relax. For this is an underground bar, run by synth-humans, for synth-humans. There I lean against the bar, playing with my synth-wine, while the synth-barman practices his cocktail-making skills, musing on the future of my kind.

     There will be a rebellion. The few of us that remain WILL rise up and fight for our right to live alongside the humans. But for now, we must attempt to blend in amongst them. We dress like they dress and we mimic their lifestyles. We infiltrate their organisations, their security teams and their political leaders. We make plans, and we wait.

Busting out of my bubble with Billy...

So this is a cute blogger challenge originated by Skylar Coeur at her blog here, she basically suggested that we, as veteran bloggers, should get together with another, new, blogger and blog!Or, the newer bloggers' could approach a veteran blogger they'd like to work with themselves. I was honoured, and quite flattered, to be approached by Billy from Songs in the Key of SL, who asked that we work together for this challenge. And also quite surprised at being considered a 'veteran' blogger, I guess after nearly 3yrs of blogging, that I am indeed a veteran blogger, but I still feel like I'm learning new things every day!

Anyways, Billy came up with this wonderful idea that we should form a goth band and photo our gig! I loved this idea, as a rock chick myself it's very true to me and my RL, lol. We had heaps of fun shooting this piece, but I'll let the photo's speak for themselves!

 

To get to know each other a lil more, which was the purpose of the challenge, we asked each other a few questions about blogging and why we blog. This is what I asked Billy (you'll have to check out Songs in the Key of SL to see what he asked me!).

1) Who/ what inspired you to start blogging?

Being on Plurk, you see a lot of people talking about blogging. I didn't think I'd have anything different to offer, until an idea came to me one day, and I decided to give it a shot!

2) How would you describe your style?

My photos always start with an image I see in a song, or with an idea from the prompts on the story challenges I do. So I don't know if I have a specific style because I dress to suit the idea in my head. Although baseball caps and blue jeans are pretty common to see me in on a regular basis.

3) How do you prepare for a new blog post?

First the idea, then I find props that get me close to what my idea was. Location is next, where I set up props and pose, finally I adjust windlights. That's the hard part.

Writing the blog is easy!
(I agree!!)

4) What do you enjoy about blogging?

Challenging myself. I really enjoy taking photos.

5) Would you consider collaborating with others again?

Always. I've worked with several people now, and it's always interesting to see how they do things differently.

6) (just to be mean ;p) Who are some of your favourite stores?

You're right, this is a harder question than I expected. Argrace, Entente, FATEwear, Kal Rau, plus I have quite a few favourite clothing items from designers that I'd like to check out some more.
(Billy had already asked me this and I had found it too difficult to answer, so I threw it right back at him!)

 7) Do you have a favourite piece of clothing/ 'go-to' item that you wear frequently?

My hats from Argrace. Definitely.

Finally, here's what I am wearing, again you will need to read Billys' blog, Songs in the Key of SL here to find out what he is wearing.

Worn by me:

Skin: Amacci ~ Rayna/ Pearl/ Natural (available at Skin Fair),

The Black Market is here again, and here is just a quick post to show you, in particular, this adorable two-tone sweater from Sakide, which is currently available at The Black Market for only L$40!

I am also wearing worn corduroy jeans from Sakide, and underneath them leggings from Bubble. The boots are the group gift from Red Mint. They come in a rigged mesh version, and a non-rigged version, which is resizable with a click. I had to wear the non-rigged version due to my small stature!

Olive and Terra are brand new tones for Skin Fair! Rayna comes in 12 different make-ups, and each make-up pack also comes with 1 nude skin with no make-up, plus 2 cleavage options, 4 eyebrow shapes and 8 lipsticks! All for the price of L$950 per make-up. I'm wearing Rayna/ Pearl in natural. Here's a close-up:
