As The Sun Sets




12/24/08 1:43am - I'm sitting here... reflecting on the passing year. Now in its sunset stage.. i realize how hard but fucking wonderful this year has been for me. In the beginning.. my heart broke, shattered in so many pieces i wondered many times over if I'd ever be able to pick the pieces up and put them together again. At times its hard to still think of him.. but the thoughts are few and far in between, it heps that he no longer thinks of me and those proposals to be friends was nothing more then him wanting to feel less guilty about finding a soul mate and reducing me to nothing more then time killer. I loved him more then i allowed myself to... but now.. i realized some good came out of it. I can still feel, i can still love and i can open myself up to be loved. That's a beautiful thought in itself.

This year.. I've done so much and discovered so much about myself and met so many incredible people along the way. I learned i wasn't so bad at Photoshop, i rekindled my love of writing, I found friends who made me laugh til the wee hours of the morning. A naked shopping trip one day served to solidify a friendship i don't want to live without. A brave moment, when i stepped into a poetry reading and put my words into public for the first time and received such positive reinforcements.. i haven't stopped writing since. A boy who spoke to me after a poetry reading.. awkward but so real i had to talk to him the next day.. turned into a 10 hour conversation.. then 14 hours.. and in one week..we spoke to each other more then we worked our RL full time jobs. He reminded me how much fun it was to stay up giggling and talking long into the night. My SL- Sissy, my blog mate... who pushed me to restart a blog.. keeping me on my toes and in the Social World of SL, who's also been there with a level head through some tough times.

In this online world.. where trust is easily broken.. where lies runs abundant.. alts are easily made and given a new persona, in all this chaos I've finally found a silver lining. There's too any to name at the moment and too many experiences to recall.. but a sincere and heartfelt thanks to the people who have loved me this entire year, who've supported me, who reminded me i am worthy of love, of TRUE friendship, of laughter and sincerity.

To a new year full of new discoveries and experiences.. Happy Holidays and Happy New Years everyone!!!!

-Bubbles Komachi


P.S... I wont be blogging anymore fashion til after the New Year.. gonna take some time off to hang out.. but i wil be back and i'll be starting with the "Dress Me Up" challenges!

Take A Walk With Me



I'm not sure why it took me so long to sign up for the new ShopArmidi.com site, I've been eyeing this jacket since it was released.. i just never got up off my fat arse to sign up! So i built a look around this jacket, something for the weather and my style is so simple, it was just a crisp Second Life day

The skin is the Beauty Avitar gift.. and though its more makeup then i generally wear in SL and RL.. the skin was still beautiful and well made. I took this pic straight from in game.. no photoshopping need, its a beautiful skin tone.

Winter Coat



This is my version of a winter coat ok! Honestly.. i was browsing Amerie's NAUGHTY one day because i dig that store and stumbled upon this jacket and went all sorts of crazy. Men get a hard-on when they see some body goodness.. my nipples get hard for good fashion and I'm so not ashamed to admit it! The feathers along the collars and sleeves are double cuteness.. esp with the little wisps of peacock feathers. I dig the openness of this coat.. I can layer it..or just go breast out tattoos on (like I've done here). My jeans.. of course were the first pair I've ever bought from Calypso Giano. When i saw the sign said "low rider" I thought "ooh cool, lemme get that" and.. ooooh MY DAMN these are low! I'm so glad i keep my pubes waxed ROFL (erm..was that too much info???) I love the texture of the jeans and it comes with 2 different cuffs. I chose to tie it all together with Truth's new boots and the cutest ear muffs. I went out in RL yesterday for my baby bro's bday dinner in SF..and i swear to Buddha..my ears almost fell off in the cold, when i got back into SL..i immmmmediatly decided to wear these muffs for the next few days. It just makes me feel better don't ask!



I just realized.. reading through all of that a few hours after i wrote it.. the cold must have affected my brain.. because I'm all over the place lol!!! eh.. I'll publish it anyway! (look darling.. NO S!!!)

Snow Angel




I don't celebrate Christmas, it's not my religion, but i still love all the wintery stuff, i didn't want to do yet another winter wear post since EVERYONE is doing one, so i decided feature this dress from Gothicatz.. which i LOVE btw and have worn for the past 2 days straight. Its a sweet Baby Doll dress with a very girly swish feel to it, i love the over sized bow, the delicate lace mesh skirts and the details on the top. The antlers are VINTAGE DAZZLE!! That's right, Ginny sent these out as a gift back in dec 06 (can you believe it??) before she renamed the brand Last Call.. i so treasure everything Ginny.. i had to pull it out because Nic and i were having antler sex at Flattlined's Disco Event.. err.. yea.. that's how we roll!

Hellfire


Well, between illness, holidays and SL not wanting to show my attachments, its been so long since I've been able to blog, that I actually forgot my password. But I'm back and ready to show off more of my favorite ensembles.

Its funny how Bubs and I seem to be on the same wavelength many times, as we've both chosen to show off some Bare Rose fashions. This outfit, Hellfire Lady, is one of my top 2 favorites from there. It comes with bunches of attachments and in a few colors...in ONE pack. That's right, as in most of their clothing, you get multiple color options for a low, low price. Well made fashions for prices even newbies can afford!

Skin-MOJO, Glitterati, Tone 4, amethyst;
Hair-Deviat Kitties, Siyu, Black Rainbow Tips, Black Purple;
Outfit/Tattoos/Necklace-Bare Rose, Hellfire Lady;
Gloves-DoMoCo, stub finger,black;
Wrists-ETD, Leather Plate Wristbands, black;

Let them Eat Cake... n Shiet!!




I've been getting into the period look lately..and I'm not sure why. Victorian... French Revolution..etc.. it just looks cool and fun to me. SL most def lets me indulge in fashion i cant wear everyday in RL. Bare Rose has always been a hit or miss for me. I find items that makes me squeal at times and i cant believe they're going for the low prices Bare Rose is so famous for, or i find incredible horrific things that makes me go.. WTF!??? In any case, im still a fan of their creative side, they have so much and it takes a long time to walk through that place and rezz everything but worth it for the perfect find! I had to do the hair from Minnu, its funky as hell and fits so damn well.. it gives a certain androgynous look to this outfit..and as a dirrrrrty Revolutionary girl.. of course i'd wear lingerie underneath. I think i said it best in this convo with Nic while i was taking pics for this blog post.. Fuck The Cake... Fuck Me Instead!! rofl

As my friend Nic of Cool Shizzz puts it so well...
[13:33] Nicole Bourne: you look like a revolutionary hoar
[13:33] You: lol
[13:33] Nicole Bourne: lmao
[13:34] You: ooomg!
[13:34] You: you're right!!
[13:34] You: *CENSORED* the cake
[13:34] You: *CENSORED* me instead! LE Rawr!

I <3 My Slut Bunny Nic! Thank you for helping me put this look together.. its so nice i can bounce shizz off of you!

Grapes Makes Me Happy



Random thoughts about grapes... its 2am.. indulge me!! I love grapes, green frozen seedless grapes, ripe and sweet with a hint of sourness. When i think grapes, i think green.. my favorite grapes.. then red.. but only if they don't have green. So why is it, when it comes to colors... purple is sometimes called grape. I know there are purple grapes but honestly are they AS popular as green grapes? Its the same with apples.. i think apples.. green comes to mind.. anyway.. On to the outfit!

Black and Gold Goodness



So what happens when I'm awake at 3am?? I dress up for the day and my blog rofl! I bought this dress from AiYaiYai (friggin cutest name for a store ever) a few weeks ago when she had her sale for 25 or 30Ls.. but i cant remember if i got the dress for that much or full price.. but anyhoo! I haven't worn it yet (I'm seeing that i have too many pieces i buy but have never worn) and decided to build a look around the dress. As much as i love short dresses, i felt like covering my legs, the bolero is Digit Darkes goodness ( because damn near 99% that comes out of that store is gooooooodness) that i felt tied the look together, add some cute gold jewelry and voila!!

I've been wearing a lot more gold jewelry lately, usually I'm a silver go to girl, thanks Jewelry Expo for exposing me to some incredible gold pieces!

Chill



I popped into Gear Shift for the first time a few weeks ago because the Boy needed some jeans.

Rock out like your lips were just placed onto a break dancing muse
with legs that go all the way up
Rock out like publishers clearing house is ringing your front door
Rock out like you'll never have to open a text book again
Rock out like you get paid to DISTURB THE PEACE!

Rainy Days




Its been raining here lately and my mood has been gloooooomy. I do love the rain but only when I'm warm in my bed with a good book, when i have to be out in the rain and drive and deal with pple, then its not fun anymore! I wanted to put together a rainy look on SL.. just because.. i had this cute umbrella I've yet to use and well, you cant really get wet here (lol), I know for sure i cant wear shoes like this in RL during a storm, I'd kill them. In SL.. everything goes, i thought this was adorable and i love the jacket!!

Adorable



I'm feeling absolutely adorable today. Usually my go-to color is black and it translate to SL.. and I've been trying to play more with colors instead of just going for the darker colors. I pulled this hair out of no where and forgot i even bought it. I do that a lot and i find these things and I'm like 'wtf.. where did this come from" once i even asked my ex (when we were together..) "baby when did i buy this hair" he of course just looks at me funny lol.

Punk Neko




I didn't think i would post this look, mainly because i just wore it to DJ one day.. but after seeing Kai's last post, i decided..why not, i never really show an "edgy" side of me. I'm not a Neko as a lot of pple are, but i do think the ears and tails are cute at times. The boots were a gift from Kai for my bday this past June.. thanks Kai!!!

the B.A.C.

Upon running across a woman that looks like this, you never know what she's up to...will she draw a weapon on you or try to seduce you? Either way, you do know that she's one bad-a$$ chick and she has an agenda, so try not to get in her way. All the clothing from ZIPZ have this edge, they're sexy and they're tough (you'll find the styles offered in dark shades, like blacks and browns as well as some scorching jewel tones, very little namby-pamby pastels here.)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


Late one night.. 3 girls couldnt sleep.. stumbled and tumbled upon a pumpkin patch (ok, we really couldnt sleep and the pumpkin ptch was on fai/nic's land haha) dressed as sweet little Snow White, Alice in Wonderland and Glenda the Good Witch. Out of no where the sky turned green and ghosts appeared!!! The girls turned ghoooooooulish and squealed.. TRICK OR TREAT!!

oomg that was weak haha! Honestly my friends and i just decided to wear our costumes and take pictures, I knew i wanted to post a Halloween post on this blog.. so why not! Happy Halloween everyone and be safe on the streets tonight!

My Alice in Wonderland look is disturbingly bloody and i love it! Looks like Alice fell down that rabbit hoel and smashed up her pretty face a little. I bought the costume last Halloween and im not sure its still avaiable, guess one way to find out is to stumble on over to Random!


Isnt that skin incredible? Ms Tuli as always, need i say more? The blood splatter came with my Alice costume and the cute bandaid is from House of Paisly now known as The Cute Institute, i made a trip over to make sure they're still available and they are!! So rush over because they're super darling.

Houndstooth...Check!


I normally don't go for patterns much, but I love these high-waisted houndstooth pants and when matched with this black turtleneck, the look is casual, but elegant. I'm really enjoying the trend towards using prim/sculptie cuffs on shirts and jackets, as it cuts out about five minutes from my dressing time when I don't have to search for bracelets to complete the look. So, to add some sparkle, I used some lovely accessories from Miriel and Lua, as well as the Champagne boots from Bianca Foulon.

Formality



...Maybe not the most inventive of titles for this post, but I plead my yearly autumn sinus infection and beg for mercy. I know at last count sometime last year, I had over 150 formal gowns and their numbers, like rabbits, have seemed to grow exponentially. This one in particular is another from Soraya Shan that I picked up at Glam Expo, but didn't fit in with my color scheme of the prior post. I love this deep turquoise shade and the bodice is simply incredible.


This close-up shows the jewelry and the new Sumi skin from Tuli in more detail and I love the rhinestone eyelashes from Beauty Avatar.

Monochrome Magic




So what happens when i finally decide to organize my incredibly cluttered and messy inventory!?? I find incredible pieces i forgot i bought and NEVER wore. I am not a big fan of system skirts.. my shape already has a nice badonkadonk on it, these skirts just ad about 15lbs and not in the right spots either! This skirt by Mimikiri is just too adorable which is prob why i bought it. I've been a long time fan of Bijou and i have so many different looks form them.. casual fun to this beautifully textured elegant jacket. I tied the look together with gloves, simple accessories and heels... VIOLA!! Monochrome magic .. *pats self on back* I think im ready for a night at the Opera!

It's been 3 days since i started the task of reorganizing and I'm getting cross-eyed and headache and no closer to being organized!

B-B-B-Bad



*Cue George Thorogood music*
I felt like being bad today...or at least looking the part, so I whipped the Boss out of the inventory, polished off the layers of dust (since I haven't ridden in almost a year due to laaaag) and put together a bad-a$$ outfit.
The hat/hair combo is from Exxess and they have it in male and female styles...my hubby loves his and wears it almost exclusively these days. The tank is one of my favorites, comes in a myriad of colors and all three layers with short and long options and is topped with a bandana from :sey, which comes in 5 or 6 patterns/styles and each one menu-driven color change. Ripped jeans, biker boots and full body tattoos completed my look.

More Exxess


When I break out of Barbie mode, I love to do it with Exxess, the clothing that is. Not only are the clothes faaabulous, but each outfit comes complete with accessories and shoes/boots, like the Sabbath outfit shown here.



The detailing is just beyond incredible and add to that the new Moon skin from Redgrave and I'm completely in love with this ensemble.

Crisp Fall Day




Crisp fall air, leaves in shades of the sunset fallen on the ground crunching under our feet.... Yea i don't get much of that since i live in California and we have 2 weather... Hot... and not so hot! Lol! I do however love fall and the air just a little bit cleaner and i finally get to wear.. a JACKET! its getting there..except to day was 88 degrees.. go figure, at least i can still dress the part here in SL!




Can i please draw attention to this ring?? Kieran Debevec (a friend of mine from Steady Rock Island RP sim) who just started dabbling in mini prims and fine jewelry sent me some things she was working on for her line ENOUGH. While talking i mentioned i wanted a ring... a big gaudy yellow canary diamond ring. A few days later..this was sent to me (did i mentioned its named after me also!?) and i started to squeal and pretty much haven't taken it off since. Thanks Kieran!! I'm still going to keep bothering you to sell your line!




I gotta gush about this skin! I love Apple May Designs, and recently Apple had a 75L sale on clothing and selected skins.. just for the hell of it. I found this gem and immediately fell in love with it. Its how i wear my makeup RL, liner and a bit of eye shadow, bronze blush and light glossy lips. I feel at home with this makeup and skin. WOOT APPLE MAY!

Mmmm Furr & SL Mini-Rant

As usual, SL has done it again. For the past month or so, I've had a disappearing prim issue. Either prims (worn or rezzed) just randomly disappear on me OR I see the prims in world, I see them in my snapshot preview, but when I go to my image editing software...they aren't in the picture. WTF is up with that???? I've had whole skirts, hair, sometimes half my hair, jewelry, shoes, etc. all not show up in my images and completely ruin a whole set of shots. So, I take a pic, go to my editing software, open it, make sure everything is there and continue on with my shots...only to find out later, they disappeared when I changed poses. They also disappear when I zoom in to get a close-up or even change angles. *siiighs* Just like in the following ensemble...

This fabulous, lushly-textured fur jacket and skirt combination from Earth & Sky Design also has an adorable hat included in the set, which I was wearing, only to have it poof in the actual pictures. Upon further review of the images I ended up with, sans hat, my newest skin from The Obscene, when combined with my shape looks eerily like Paris Hilton...ewww. I adore the skin, especially the shading that creates a soft facial glow, so I guess I'll have to make a new shape to wear with it to avoid the Paris-clone issue.
