Whenever I feel like I can't people successfully, I pet.
It doesn't usually happen for long periods of time, mostly just a couple of hours, but recently, I've kind of started to absolutely adore being a puppy.
I know there's a D/s term for this nonsense, but I don't have a Dominant, nor am I looking - mostly because I have a Jake, and having a Jake (luckily with a Punky attached) has been far more successful for me than having an official Dominant!
When I'm a puppy, or a kitty, or a faun, or any other kind of animal-style-thingy-ma-bob, it's entirely probable that I'm feeling slightly more vulnerable. There doesn't have to be a particular reason for my vulnerability and often, there isn't ONE reason for it... it's a culmination of things that just make me want to retreat slightly and stand at the edge of the crowd rather than finding myself central to the action. It's my time to reflect.
Where many true Babygirls may have 'little space', I find myself to be better suited to 'pet space'. I suppose both are a bit weird if you don't understand the concept!
Oddly enough, when I feel in a 'pet' kind of mood, I also feel more creative - which leads on from what I was saying a couple of days ago. Somehow being vulnerable, or allowing myself to feel the way I need to in order to heal myself, I am far more able to feel like 'me' despite the fact that my avatar might run around with a tail and ears.
I'm a bizarre little Pickle, and ultimately, I suppose I'm just glad I'm able to have this outlet to throw out my random ventings and occasionally pretty pictures!
I'm using the facial expression hud "Axis" by LeLutka and it's AHMAYYYZING!
I tried to apologize to someone today for a misunderstanding, and rather than it making things better, I managed to make things worse.
It just reminded me that sometimes, although you're ready to say what you need, the other person may not be ready to hear it, or accept it. Sometimes, their perception of you has been so distorted from someone else's perspective, it's just not worth the hassle, and everything you do will be considered as yet another bad move, even when your intentions are good.
Therefore, I will learn to apologize and then shut up.
I can't make people like me, and those that do deserve my time more than those I need to convince.
Tank : ANTINATURAL[+] Post-Human / MerTank (Gacha) I modified this a lil too, can't remember if it's a lot or a lil bit because it was mostly a lot to do with the transparency.
Pose : Modified SO severely from the original, it's unrecognizable. Thanks Animare!
I was going to post a big old emotional post about this picture, but honestly, I'm still bleddy exhausted so know that there is a story, but I encourage you to make your own minds up as to what has happened to Pickle in this situation.
Meanwhile, I want to take a moment to let you know that during my week of illness, Red Light District re-opened for it's SECOND round. It's actually been open for 5 days now, and I'm kicking myself that I've only just started to peek at the goodies that have come in. Since April 15th, it's been in full swing. Once again, you can find all details on the website >Here< and in my humble opinion, it's definitely worth a visit. Many 'kinky' events seem to offer the basics. There is legitimately so much more on offer at RLD. Furniture, clothing, cuffs, masks, mother-effin' tentacles... yeah. Go check it out!
Today's post is going to be epic. I am literally going to throw information at you and expect you to completely understand, ok? Good.
Again today I have woken up with a bunch of spoons in my pocket. This makes me incredibly happy! I am also prepared for today thanks to completing the photographs for today yesterday! LOOK AT ME GO, being all organized and shiz!
I've never done a post of this size before, and I know I've made a couple of oopsies, but I implore you to overlook said oopsies and love me anyway, so uh, here goes nothing!
I'm going to go ahead and focus on the Go&See skin, available at the skin fair at the moment.
It's called Katarina and is available in 5 tones. Here's a picture of the tones!
From left to right, Goth, Pale, Summer, Tan & Dark Tan.
For the following photographs I have used the FIRESTORM viewer, on ULTRA with the windlight CalWL. The pictures are unedited except for the cropping effects.
My personal favourite is the pale, but that's probably because of the white hair i've chosen for the blog today. All of the tones are gorgeous - flawless in fact. Another bonus for me was that it fit perfectly with my shape without a tweak necessary, and as I've said before, that's a massive bonus!
I'm also sporting the white eyebrow version, but there are THREE options for eyebrows! The other two are shown below.
Left - No brow. Right - Black brow on Pale tone.
It's worth noting that the head skin is on an OMEGA applier. I'm showing it on my current Magy Catwa head, and I didn't try it on any other head, purely because of the fit I mentioned above. However... if your head is Omega compatible, this skin will work.
I want to go ahead and remind you that just because a skin says OMEGA compatible, it doesn't mean that it will automatically look great on your head. Sometimes you're going to have to tweak your shape to make it look good. Please, please don't be scared to do this! I know that many of you enjoy your look and are reluctant to change, but know that sometimes, the smallest little fiddle with your sliders can turn you from "OMGWTF?!! :( " to "OMG! WTF! :) "
I was a little overwhelmed with choices when I saw the body huds for this skin because there are LITERALLY SO MANY OPTIONS I COULDN'T BELIEVEEEEE IT.
Below I will show you some of the boobies!
These are the 'normal' breast options in Tan tone. The only reason I skipped up to Tan was because for photography reasons, the differences just stood out further.
On the left, the body is softer, and on the right you might notice a little more rib action going on.
I want to point out here the collarbone definition, and the elbows.
It's been a long time since I've looked at a skin in such detail and honestly had a "Wow" reaction, but let me squee and tell you it happened with this. Also worth a second look are the knees (shown in my regular 3-panel picture) and the absolutely adorable belly button that makes me wanna stick my tongue in it. I'm pretty sure I could find an animation for that if i looked hard enough! xD
Shown here are the cleavage options, again in the Tan tone.
On the left is the first cleavage option with the ribs, and on the right, the second cleavage option without. Both the first and second versions of the cleavage come with the rib & no rib versions on the hud, so play around and figure out which one you like best.
More boobies? FER REAL, PICKLE?
YES!! More titties! These are the "Small" boobies, in Tan Tone.
On the left, is the soft body version, and on the right are the ribs version.
I'm pretty sure you can tell why this post was essential now! And there's MORE!!!
Here, I give you my booty.
I mean, I'm gonna need it back, but you're free to stare!
Far left is booty option one. The only way I can describe this is that it has an element of realism that I personally feel has been missing for a long time. There's extra creases along the under-butt, and also slight hints of imperfections and maybe even a little cellulite. I sorta kinda love this option!
Middle and Right options - I gotta be honest, I don't see a whole lot of change here. The skin is a lot smoother and the imperfections less obvious. However, not shown in any of these pictures are the front view options of the "booty", and the body hud has them in abundance. As comfortable as I am getting down and dirty with tits and arse, I'm not overly confident with getting my foof out and parading that around my blog quite yet, but let me just tell you if you struggle finding a foof that makes you tingle, you will definitely find it in this hud. On top of the foofage, there's also "hip" options, and I'm sure the differences come down to the slightest shading that I can't pick up because I'm not nearly as fancy and talented as Kristyna of Go&See.
I really really cannot suggest you demo this skin hard enough. All the body huds are on omega appliers too, so they will work for ANY major body brand, so long as they support the omega applier & you have (where necessary) the required omega relay/support.
Take a breath, and check out the picture below for the regularly scheduled outfitty things!
This is a SUPER fast gyazo gif (sorry about the quality) of the amazing bento tears by Dirty Secrets at the RLD event! If you're already an owner of the drool system by Dirty Secrets you'll be familiar with the hud included, and there's even an extra hud so that you can work both the drool & tears together without needing both individual huds on your screen at the same time. For those of you who don't already own the drool hud, just be well aware that you're going to explode with happy. There are several options for your tear type (clear, blue, bloody and more!) PLUS options for speed, and facial expressions, well worth the purchase! I'm wearing them with the catwa unrigged eyes, and combined with the pulsing included with those, I'm sure you'll agree that the result is just stunning.
Here, have some music. After all this information, I'm pretty sure you need to chill!
