BackBone The Interview Set @ RLD

I've spoken very briefly about the Red Light District event currently going on, the new round opened on the 15th of June and once again they've bought a plethora of wonderful creators together to offer some amazing quality items all at the event.

I am going to drop the website >Here< , you can find a BUNCH of information (including my lovely picture on the blogger page - see if you can find my photo!) including designer details, pictures of products available at the event, and all the gossip about the winners of the coveted "featured designer" trophies so far! Seriously, don't miss out - I have absolutely adored covering RLD, it has been professional, original and quality since it started four rounds ago, and I'm excited to see how it develops along it's journey, and I genuinely believe that it adds realism to the over-saturated Event-Market that seems to be taking the SL world by storm. If you have a penchant for the adult side of SL, you WILL find something here for you, and regardless of my standing as a blogger for the event, I will stand by not only the management, but the quality too.

Let me preface this by saying I don't jog. Ever.

Also, I really like food, so if I did jog this would probably be an accurate representation of what would happen, and I would be completely distracted by said food. Maybe I'm jogging quickly away so I don't buy the entire back-stock of goodies?

Don't trip, Pickle! (But those noodles look SO good!)

Yesterday it seems that SL went haywire for a while.

I gotta admit, it was mildly frustrating when I went to log in and couldn't, but honestly, I sorta wanted an Ark day anyway, so that's what I did.

However, facebook blew up with all the usual "Omg I can't get in!" and "You all need to get a life, just because you can't get in, doesn't mean it's the end of the world!"

I'm not here to criticize either view, but I would just like to spread a little reminder here that A. Not everything revolves around SL, yes, there is an actual life outside of it, kudos to you if you're enjoying it. B. If you're enjoying it that much, you wouldn't be able to comment on fb that there is a life outside of SL, because you wouldn't be on fb either. Just playing devils advocate here.

and C. Sometimes people use SL and other social media outlets LIKE facebook to an extent where it becomes a bit of a crutch. Maybe it's unhealthy, but if someone is enjoying themselves, and enjoying the time they spend within SL, what harm is it actually doing to you? Finally there's D. Some of those people questioning the SL outage have real-world work INSIDE SL. 

I feel like so many of us have locked on to the concept of SL as a game, which is a whole other debate in itself, but I'm pretty sure you can't deny that if you consider the "SL is a game" theory to be truth, there are some serious differences between playing SL as a game and playing Mario Cart, or something cooler because I only play Ark and I don't know how or what else to compare it to.

Either way, the First Great SL Apocalypse of 2018 happened and we are all survivors, prims have been returned to normal, shoes have been removed from butts (circa 2008, for those who remember), ruth avatars have become sexy again, and as of yet, all injuries have been deemed superficial. Regular service is now back, and as proof, here's your list of pretties for today!

Let me preface by shouting from the rooftops about how much I love Moss&Mink. This has been a love-affair since her very first release that I saw at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival almost two years ago. It was a delicious pair of fawn legs, along with a matching gacha of cute little accessories. When I bumped into the creator I literally squealed at her, exclaiming how amazing I thought her items were, and I left having added her to my friends list, but internally facepalming because I'm often super awkward, and wasn't entirely sure if she just thought I was some crazy lady. Turns out, she DOES think I'm a crazy lady, and I'm okay with that, because technically she's not wrong. However, she's not just an awesome creator, she's a fabulous friend, too. She's constantly improving on the items she's creating, seriously, all you have to do is take a look at her items and note the effort she puts in to incorporate as many tastes as she can, while staying true to her cute little brand. It has been absolutely delightful to grow with her (maybe not to the same extent as she's growing, this woman is seriously talented, and I'm almost 100% certain she's going to virtually bitch slap me for this post, but I don't care). 

The items at Moss&Mink always push me a little, in a GOOD way. Part of the reason I enjoy blogging so much is because of creators like this, who make me think a little differently and push me out of my comfort zone sometimes. The creations always have the cutest little details and I'm never certain how it's best to incorporate all of the things and showcase them. so today I'm writing an essay of epic proportions to combat that I suppose! I've included a photo of just the set-up I  made without my av being a photo-whore and stealing any of the spotlight (although this Evani set IS to die for, and the jeans, which are fast becoming my favourite brand of jeans, are amazingly fitted and both the sweater and the pants are beautifully textured.) and hopefully you'll be able to see the sparkles, the bubbles, the textures involved and lovingly caressed across the low-prim (and low price) mesh, the sparkles on the trellis actually sparkle (in the right windlight) and the sparkles on the wooden floor by the hot-tub actually sparkle too. There's also some cute bubbles in the jacuzzi-hot-tub thingie, and over-all I just want to squee over the cuteness and drape my avatar across all the things in an attempt at being just as adorable as these cute THINGS!

See? {moss&mink} adorables!

I'm not really one to get my nipples out without due cause, but this outfit just made all kinds of sense to me. It's a little bit naughty and a lot fantastic... and I feel like maybe I'm missing some of that fantastical stuffs lately, and with the fantasy gacha carnival thingies going on, sometimes regular posts can look a little bland.

This look shows more items from the Y2K round of Rewind, and I'm absolutely loving the ErschxOppa set (There are earrings and a necklace not shown, too).

It's a gacha and it's so different that as soon as it popped up I just KNEW it was going to be fun to photograph. As usual, my anxious little brain has been whirring with ideas surrounding the items, and finally I settled upon this. Tada!

I'm always slightly wary of wearing skins that aren't my RL race. I'm almost literally the whitest white girl in the history of white people. I've been bought up in the most white-collar, English way possible for my generation, and I am mostly pretty ignorant to the struggles of many other races. The last thing on my mind is making people uncomfortable or awkward because of a way that I portray an item, and I really hope that I do justice to the skins and pretties that I find across the grid. If you choose to look at this post, or any of my posts for any reason, just know that I am attempting to make art, regardless of race, colour, gender stereotypes or roles. I want so badly to bridge ALL the gaps and have a world where nothing matters except lifting people up and making others happy, but not at the expense of ourselves... but I know realistically this is just a dream for how the world works right now.

That being said, this skin is truly beautiful, as are all the items portrayed in today's post. I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome of the photograph, and only hope you enjoy what I have bought you. xoxo
