Devastation Down Under

I live in Victoria, Australia and I am finding it very hard to write this post, but it bloody well needs to be done.

Saturday 7th February, a firestorm began and ripped through the Victoria, destroying everything in its path, many fires still burn out of control today.

Many lives were lost, many are still missing. Homes gone, towns destroyed, only the ashes remain. The devastation of these fires are horrific, the worst in Australian history.

*reaches for a tissue*

Those that survived these fires have a long journey ahead of them to restart and rebuild their lives. And that’s where the Australian Red Cross comes in. The Red Cross have established a Victorian Bushfire Relief Fund to help these survivors.

Autumn Hykova of Pixel Dust & Dakota Buck of Savvy? have started a charity avatar named Victoria Farshore. All the money collected will be passed on to the Red Cross. I have been told that you are allowed to choose where the money goes specifically, so that’s what the Autumn and Dakota are doing, designating it to the Bushfire Relief Fund. Many inworld creators have jumped on board to help with this fundraiser. They have donated their time and their creations to help the Australian Red Cross Click Here to see a lists of creators and stores that are involved in this mighty fundraiser (list is updated daily). I personally wish to thank each and every one of them from the bottom of my heart for their time, effort and dedication they have put towards this cause.


*Raises a glass and cheers you all


Helena Stringer of The Stringer Mausoleum has 4 items for this charity. Helena’s aim is to fight fire with fire with 3 hair styles retexture in a special fire edition, Summon Winter, Duster and Assassin as well as a pair of gorgeous fire wings. 100% of the proceeds going to the Victorian Bushfire fund. Plus Helena is also donating 5% of her daily earnings in SL to the relief fund. So even if you buy a regular item, you are still helping in some way.
Aikea Rieko of Tokeo Plastik has a skin for sale called 'Tatania Brushfire'. It is available in 3 tones, Venice, Spice and Rose and each pack contains 4 versions. 100% of the proceeds for these skins are also going to The Australian Red Cross. My lovely eyes are Toxic: Cyanide (coma) created by Ruina Kessel of the House of Ruin with 50% of the proceeds going to the fund.
The Victorian Corset, created by Margo Imako of Steambound. This corset set has an Aussie flag design and was created especially for the Relief fund. This cute outfit also comes with gloves and a pair of sexy short shorts.
These boots are apart of the fundraising efforts of Sakuradawn Lei of Lazy Places. There are a few different styles of boots available. These ones are Naamloos Boots in red & white. 100% of the profit going to the relief fund.

This picture of Sam the koala and volunteer firefighter, David Tree, is a well recognized image around the world. It is a heart warming image of hope that was much needed during all the despair. 1000’s of pets, wildlife and farm animals were lost in these fires. Sam is currently one of 22 koalas, 14 ringtail possums, several wallabies and eastern grey kangaroos that have been handed into Gippsland wildlife carers.


I have been deeply affected by these current events and have shed many tears.

Though sadly the threat is far from over, some fires still burn out of control and many homes and lives are still under threat. Firefighters continually work around the clock to contain these fires. We have been partially lucky that the weather has cooled off during the week but that is soon to end. Temperatures are soon to rise again and the threat of more fires scares the hell out me. I live in a high fire danger area but have been lucky with last Saturday’s disaster that my area currently remains unaffected but I know, understand and fear that that can change in an instant. A box of photos lie in wait by the front door, I hope and pray that they only gather dust. Damn it…I’m out of tissues…I’ll brb…


*Returns and dries her eyes so she can see what she is typing*

Enough being sad and speaking from the heart crap. Now get your arses over to some of these amazing stores and purchase something to help those that have nothing. Maybe even a simply thank you to some of these amazing creators, let them know that their work and effort for this cause is greatly appreciated. The stores also have Red Cross donation kiosks set up for those who would like just donate a linden or 2, every little bit counts. A big thank you to all of you that have already donated.


On a happier note, blogger extraordinaire, Winter Jefferson has organized a ‘Date for Down Under’ fundraising event at the Seven Ultra Lounge Sunday 15th Feb @ 7pm SLT with the amazing Sierra Sugar DJing the event. It is gonna be a bloody good night with lots of gorgeous dates up for grabs, including Winter himself. Some big names will be auctioned off so come along and have some fun and perv at all the hotties. A list of some of the participants can be found on In Cold Blood. All money raised on the night will go to Victorian Bushfire Relief Fund.
I found comfort in the surrounds of a place called Creamshop, it was nice to just sit...alone...in the rain, hearing nothing but the pitter patter of rain drops as they hit the ground all around me. If only I could take this rain with me into RL.

I am not a religious but I have prayed for rain to help those involved in the fight to contain these fires, most of which are volunteers…unsung heroes.


Thank you everyone!

Go-Go Demon

First of all, sorry for no posts recently, we here on the good ship SSStringer have all been working our little buns off! We each have been dipping our hands into the bushfire project going on all over sl to help with the Australians efforts to help those in need. Some of us have stores, some of us work for big companies, some of us have been busy shaking our sl booties all over town!

I'll try to get this back to a regular pace soon. Even if I just do little posts, little quickies for you, you all like quickies right?

So I have been in this outfit for a few days(when I design I tend not to change everyday, like I would otherwise). I thought I'd share it, cause I love it so!

I NEEDED these horns, they are all insecty and demony, what better combo! I couldn't get the chains alpha'd right, so sorry about that, you'll just have to go see them yourself or stalk me!

Being a demon doesn't always mean you have to scare people. I like to look fairly normal to my prey as much as possible. It's way easier to feed that way, I am also lazy, and only like to massacre once a week, and am not the type to collect souls.

So I did a 2 tone retro type dealie. I even got myself a new ao to reflect my fun flirty image. XP

These boots, I moded them, they were black, and I just fucked with the texture a bit and tinted them. These things are all over. I have seen them at all different prices, I got these for free from a raffle ball somewhere. Anyways, even if your grandma seems to have them, if you find a mod version, you could have fun, and they ain't too bad. I have a pair in rl, just like these, but studded.

HAHAHA!

Anyways, Want the goods? Got get them :

Skin-Tuli-Meredith [ light ] fuschia folly-L$1000
Hair-The Stringer Mausoleum-Tribute to my limited edition hair, Yearly Sacrifice, which died with OnRez, all packs were bought up! I'll have to make a new limited edtion now!
Eyes-House of Ruin-Cylon Eyes (Kyr'Ozch Teal)-L$20
Eyelashes-La Syphide-Natural prim lashes-L$0
Bodysuit-SN@TCH-Sex Kitten Bodysuits-L$325(you get 6 colours, blue shown)
Tights-Glam-store not reopen as of yet
Boots-honestly these things are all over the grid, for different prices.
Horns-Sinfull Creations-Insecticide demon horns-L$100
Tentacles-XOPH-Basic Tentacles-Coal-L$90
Tail-XOPH-Basic Tentacle Tail-L$75

Useless fact--->Whole outfit-Under 200 prims! I like to make a good impression with the least amount of prims, there is really no need to a tonne.


Till next meal lovelies!

Same Damn Thing . . . AGAIN!

I might have missed the day by about 20minutes my time, but I was really inspired by all the posts.

I took up Achariya's Blogger Challenge. After reading the repost, with all the different bloggers participating, I knew this was right up my ally.

What if we all wore the same damn thing?

SL is my place to imagine. That doesn't always mean being original in everything. What it does mean is doing ordinary things in a different way. Your way, who ever you may be.

I'm not a blogger by any means, well not a fashion blogger at least. Or I don't see myself as one. And by the notes and emails, others think the same. They say I and others pass things like this blog off as a way to advertise, and that I'm just "Pretending" to be cool. Well the whole aim for this blog was for my models, friends and I to show how we wear my products. Seeing as I only ever were my own hair, my models are paid to wear my products, and my friends like my shit, it made sense.

I do wear items that may come from a certain store in every post. Not the same item, but same store. I may even be friends with that person. There is no shame to show love for something, or be proud of a fellow designer.

Most days I could care less if I see someone wearing what I'm wearing. If anything it means that item that some designer lovingly built, textured, made is something that was enjoyable en mass. We would not be designers otherwise. Cherelle and I go shopping together some days, or send each other to places, so I know more then one person has what I got, and I can tell that too with people buying my products. If this wasn't the way of sl, there wouldn't be those nifty boxes in edit mode that say copy/contents or original. Everything would be set to original. But there would be alot of unhappy peeps, and insomniac designers.

The way we use a piece tells a bit about ourselves, it's like the body language in rl. We can't really count ao's in the same respect, so how people dress and carry themselves, and in conversation and deeds will tell you more about who they really are. This applies event to Roleplay. When I use to RP before I was a designer, I still acted like me, I just happen to wear tentacles and hooves, while my home is in space. I realize this does not apply to all. Some try and run and hide, but you still can get a snippet here or there thru the way they project themselves.

We all make mistakes, we all are human behind these screens. We need, want, wish and hope.

So I wear the same damn thing as everyone else, but I do it as plain old me. Who gives a fuck what others think?

What started it all off:

Shirt-{Gisaci}-Cambridge Cuffed Shirt-Aqua Afrillia-L$250 (This line is a label under a label-Armidi, so don't go looking in the Armidi shops, it's in the Gisaci one at the top of the stairs to the right)

His Royal Mistress

I was born in 1757 and orphaned shortly thereafter, both of my parents having died from the pox. Brought to Versailles as a chambermaid, I was trained in the arts of service and etiquette, to tend to the needs of the future Dauphine. The King, Louis XV, took delights with me and often favored me to treats and special extensions that he forwent his own born. He remarked that I possessed a certain "Je ne sais quoi" that enraptured him, and assuredly one day I would hold captive the hearts of all who came into the folds of my beauty.

But in all my years surrounded by Courtiers and dashing your suitors, there was only heart I coveted, that of his son, Louis-Auguste. Through all the lavish celebrations in the Hall of Mirrors, the entreaties to dance from foreign Princes, the ever-flowing champagne and promises of finery from the Orient, I was still enraptured with Louis.

Louis and I used to chase each other around the Orangery in secret, stealing kisses from one another, and professing to love each other until our deaths. It was upon the eve of his father's death that Louis-Auguste ravaged me completely in those Orangery groves, all the while those annoying peacocks milled about. He swore in the moment of his release that I would forever be his Queen, not in title of course, but in his heart.

When that Austrian whore, Maria Antonia arrived in France to marry the Dauphin, I along with all the residents of Versailles immediately noticed the striking resemblance between us. The Courtiers swore I was the more remarkable, with my fiery eyes so blue that the Gods felt envy their skies were not as beautiful.

I was quickly ushered away under the cover of night at the Dauphine's orders, hoping that the King would soon forget me. I was married to a certain Compte du Ravissante. Thus I, Countess du Ravissante was born. My Louis married the whore when we were still but young adults, but never forgot his passion for me. Upon his coronation as King his first official act was to claim me as his official mistress. Thus, I became Madame du Ravissante, Official Royal Mistress to the King - no longer a mere chambermaid in service to the court. Now I was free to wander the corridors and passageways of the Palace of Versailles as I sought fit and to service only one member of the royal family, the King himself.

Maria Antonia, Marie Antoinette, as we French called her, was stricken with grief for many years as her womb refused to perform its only duty - to bear my beloved Louis an heir to the throne to France. Had only I been Queen, I would have born him ten sons in that time, in fact Louis and I did indeed bare three children of our own, but in secret. He tolerated the Queen only because of their marriage, but it was my body that he adored, that he worshipped, that he lived for. He likened her bed to that of a coffin, so cold and seemingly like death, that after reluctantly depositing his seed in her, he came running to our bed to remove all traces of her upon his flesh.

She found her only joys in parties and in fashion. The high fluffy powdered coiffures, 'Louis' high-heeled mules, jeweled encrusted necklaces, and tight fitting bodices so as to fluff out the bosom, those were devices I had been using to intrigue the King for years. And that whole affair with the necklace, which would ultimately be her undoing, was a gift from the King to me.

She deserved her fate, I say. All her parading around in opulence acting as though she had started the trends of the day when it was I who influenced the fashions of the times. She often reminded me of those annoying peacocks in the Orangery whom often disturbed Louis and I as we made love among the fountains and fruits.

It was no remorse of mine when the mobs stormed the Palace looking to carry her head off on a stake. How dare she order them to eat cake when they were starving. Actually, she never said that - it was I who spread the rumor, for cheap laughs, while she stammered and flustered about at the insinuations of her treason toward the French people. But you know how gossip spreads like wildfire with bored nobles in court and starving mobs in the streets. They beheaded her soon after, but not before the soldiers ripped my beloved Louis from my very arms while we were embraced. I ran down the stairs as they carried him off all the while trying to use my feminine ploys to gain his release. My efforts in vain, my Louis was stripped of his title and his head. Even as "Citizen Louis Capet", I loved him no less than I did when he was King Louis XVI.

I cried endless tears on the day he parted from this world, my eyes as red as the blood which flowed from his severed head after the guillotine's fatal blow. I dipped my handkerchief into his blood and mixed it with some of my own in remembrance of our love. I have carried this bloodied handkerchief on my person ever since, and in fact did wave it tauntingly in Marie-Antoinette's face before her beheading many months following his. But no tears did I shed for that whore, La Putain, Notre ReineChienne, Marie Antoinette.

Even now, in my old age, as I sit by the fire in my tiny salon by the Seine and gaze out the window across to the Place de La Concorde, I can still hear the cheers of the angry mobs as they ended the tyranny of the Nobility and laid her head to tumble through the streets of Paris. Having retired my services as Official Mistress to the King, I became a constant companion to a wealthy hero of the French Revolution and now spend my days in repose and reflection.

Until the day of my death, Louis-Auguste, King Louis XVI, Le Roi de France, Citizen Louis Capet will rest in my heart as my one true love and I, Sophie-Helene, Chambermaid to the Queen, Madame du Ravissante, Official Royal Mistress, and Seule Amour of the King, will remain ever faithful to our vows made those days long ago, in the Orangery of the Palace of Versailles.

I got hungry one day. Needed to go out and Hunt. What better event, then a item hunt, at a super cute sim. Lots of tasty morsels for me to look apon. I chose to wear something to not frighten the poor little creatures that were flitting out and about. This was my camo for the day.
I was able to find enough of one colour in my stash to make the look work. This Cupcakes top has the best pattern, matches my hair, and I was latter able to get it working with my leggings. The hair isn't out yet, so this is a bit of a teaser, but i did say I'd be doing that a bit, hehe.

I sercretly love bunnies. SHHHHHHH don't tell! These ones are great, and I love the . . . errrr . . . carrots. To go with the theme, I busted out some bunnie parts, tho my tail was missing, not enough attachement spots! =(

Blogger Virgin

Yes, that's right, this is my first ever blog, anywhere...so be gentle! Oh and if it is crap...tell someone who cares!
So here we go....


Like many of us, my inventory over flows with many wonders that have long been forgotten, but there are some things from certain stores that seem to never get lost and are easily found like all my outfits from BareRose. This amazing outfit is called 'Studded Armor Lady' perfect for all you elven warriors or Chic's that just want to go out and kick some arse. June Dion is the incredible designer behind BareRose. Her outfits are remarkable as you can see and they wont leave you broke. This 10 piece outfit comes packaged with all these colours, purple, black, blue, green and red for L$150 and is also available in a men's version. They can be found in the fantasy section of BareRose HQ. My Stringer Mausoleum folder can also never be lost, it is just too big, it is so full of gorgeous hair styles and accessories that it is splitting at the seams.

This stunning and sleek long hair in black/purple tip is Yearly Sacrifice by the amazing Helena Stringer. Only a limited number of each colour pack is available and can only be bought through OnRez for L$225. You can head to The Stringer Mausoleum and click on the Yearly Sacrifice colour packs and it will take you directly to the OnRez page, then you can buy buy buy! These Luscious blue eyes are from SINdecade. They are called pulse eyes and are available in 9 colours. I am wearing the base set but each eye also comes as a body part, prim-based for a glow and pulse effect (not attached in pics)

How cool, and sexy is this hair, huh? Double Duster in Black tipped from the Blacks pack is unisex, so it looks fantastic on everyone. Ladies, did you read that? I said everyone! Break free from the norm, live a little in your secondlife, head to The Stringer Mausoleum and try out a mohawk, you will be pleasantly surprised. Girls in hawks are hot! Oh and the guys are damn hot too! Sword is from Ancient Knights Armory. It's an Avery Black one-handed sword and sheath ( L$250) and for you sword buffs, it's fast swing, medium damage with spell fire 4.0.
This outfit looks rather cheeky from behind...my arse looks quite cute from this angle...hehe. 'Studded Armor Lady' has gorgeous textures and highly detailed sculpted prims for the armor.

This is a very nice skin from Regrave, well detailed and is very pretty but is not good for a girl like me. You see, I'm a sucker for a damn good mohawk and I have fallen head over heels in love with Helena Stringer and her hawks. Unfortunately, this skin has a very visible join line that runs all the way around the face and is very noticeable when wearing mohawks.


Hair: Double Duster & Yearly Sacrifice from The Stringer Mausoleum
Outfit: Studded Armor Lady @ ::: BareRose :::
Skin: Leticia Skin night makeup-smoky($990) Redgrave
Eyes: Basic #6 Luscious blue ($90 per colour $210 for full set) SINdecade
Sword: Avery Black sword Ancient Knights Armory


Cheers!

Winter

Yes, I still post. Yes, it has been way too long. But, I've made a resolution to be more committed. :) Get ready for some major creative stuffs! LOL I'm completely setting myself up for disaster here!
So...winter...it's been cold, it's been nasty, but even with the troublesome weather, it has had its moments of beauty. For those of you who live in wintersome states, you understand the peace and magic of a fresh new snowfall. Those of you who don't, you need to experience it. There is a certain stillness in the air, a quiet that descends with every snowflake, and if it is a night snowfall, you can almost hear the snowflakes as they hit the earth. There really is nothing more beautiful about winter than the unique glitter that sits in your soul when you are in its presence. And the bitter cold? That comes and goes, but that's what friends are for...to cuddle with by the light of a fire, to share hot chocolate with (dont' forget the marshmallows), and to be there to get through it...together :) It can be the harshest time of winter, but when you look past it, it can really be the most glorious.

^^I should probably put more clothes on as I walk around Oz (this will TP you to Stringer's store at Oz)...but, that would be no fun :)

My Darling Bride

I had just lost the love of my life, my darling bride, my elixir of spiritus sanctus and crooked proclivities to the fates. All I could do to keep from going insane was to sleep the sleep of no-awakening, as though in a coma I would lay in my vegetative state under the haze of slumber pills, hoping she would come to me in my dreams. And she did. Usually, she was cloaked in white with doves flying above her. But not on this night.

She was spectre-like from a bright orbish light, and sheathed in black. I could her the ruffle ruffle of her petticoats underneath her Lolita frock. Her velvet gloved hands beckoning to me. It wasn't the sirenesque melodies that I was accustomed to, my beloved had such a beautiful singing voice. No, this was more of a screeching cackling with a gurgle of sorts from deep within her throat. And I could smell decay all around me as she came closer still.

Her dance was snake-like, almost as though her body were only of fluid. It reminded me of those tribal fusion dancers we had seen together when we visited the Moravian coasts. She still held a power over me, even though something deep inside me told me to keep my arm's length.

With each rippling of her torso, she slithered closer still. Throwing her head back in reckless abandon, licking her lips, and smiling ever so sinisterly. I always loved the way her neck blushed when I looked upon her with my wanton eyes. And yet, it was not her neck that intrigued me. It was the incessant hissing that belabored my ears. It was then that I noticed the snakes, curling around her reddened locks. Slithering and rippling this way and that, and keeping their vigilant beady eyes upon me.

As paralyzed as I was by my fears, I could not resist her. The only love of my life, the woman who swore she would stay with me forever. She came back for me. As she approached my bed, I knew I would not, no matter how damned I would be, say no to her requests. Her skin, so white and piercing bright still glistened in the night. It took on almost a glow.

The clickety-clack of her stiletto heels upon the floor, grated upon my spine like metal ice picks. She never wore such mules in all the years we were together. She said it pained her arches. Yet here she was, floating so gracefully upon them now as though she wore born in them. Black they were, like the trails of tears that ran down her face. "Look into my eyes, my love," she hissed to me. Everything in my being was screaming for me to look away, but how could I not gaze into the beautiful eyes of my beloved? So slowly, ever so slowly, I raised my eyes to hers and in that moment I knew this was not my darling bride, my love...this was something from the depths of hell that had come for me. It was the Medusa!!! If I didn't look away, I would be doomed, never to see my true love ever again....look away! Look a.....
