Time to look at some of the fashionable threads from World Goth Fair. My first photo starts off with a dark number from Evie’s Closet. You can wear it with or without the netting over skirt and it comes with the socks included. Death Rocker Betty Crocker have a spidery mesh tube top dress that is very well textured. I love the tangled weave of spiders webs. The Sophie Rose dress from MV comes with the high neck corset collar included. It’s quite skinny when you first put it on but it has a menu based resizer so you should be able to match to your shape easy enough. I was going to leave off the plain shirt from my last outfit in this photo to show you the bonuses of under bust corsets and mesh boobs. But I think I’ve shown enough skin over the last few posts. I love the design of the Lilabeth skirt from this outfit, I’d love to see a bit more of a ‘fabric’ look to the skirt though as it seemed quite flat when I zoomed in close.
The skin I have on in both photos is also a World Goth Fair item, check out Jalwa to get a demo for yourself. It also comes with skin appliers for the SLink hands and feet. The pants are all available from Rue in both male and female options. I love the fade colouring on them. I’m showing just a handful of tanks that The Plastik has. There’s over 20 to choose from and each with their own unique pattern.

Well, I lied, there is no actual ‘bling’ in this post. What did you think this was, 2005?!?! hehehe. Today I bring you some of the jewellery pretties from World Goth Fair. There were so many to choose from so I tried to fit as many in here as I could without doing eleventy billion photos.
First up is a well detailed piercing set from ellabella, a new to me piercing store. The earrings are from a full set from adoness that come with a choker as well in a couple of colours. The ring is in a gacha from Chaos, Panic and Disorder along with two necklaces from the same store.
Bliensen + Mai Tai have a few cute necklaces all in mesh and very well textured. The Goth Moth bow tie choker also comes in a version for the guys. The Cameo choker from DemotiK is a great addition as a choker on it’s own or to add to system layer layer shirt to give it a fancy collar.
Lastly The Little Bat have the World Goth Day head in a cute little mesh necklace and Souzou Eien have a really nice circlet and matching piercing set. Both come in a Dark Iron or a Light Steel colour and a mixture of colours. They also include an inverted cross option so there are a tonne to choose from.

The World Goth Fair sure has some cute must haves this year. If you love horns as much as I do then you’ll want to check out Half Deer’s booth on Port Seraphine.
You can choose from a cute little skull and horn hair piece or simple horns.
Or maybe you want something a little fancy; the headdress piece in on a headband with a little rose and is too cute.
The Little Bat on Cursed Sim is FULL of World Goth Fair Exclusives. The easy rider skirt comes with a hud for changing the colour of the motif. Choose which sweater you want from a bunch of individual packs.
The Skully Jumper sets come included with a pair of striped pants and a little black bra top. As you can see you can wear with or without them. Be prepared for a little nip slip if you don’t wear the bra; unless you move your boob sliders around, then you can hide them.

Todays World Goth Fair post focuses on skin and eyes. The Plastik have released a new gothly pale skin for the event and it comes in 8 different versions along with eye liner layers, freckle layers, cleavage enhancement layers and mesh breast appliers. I wanted to get some close ups of the different faces of the 8 versions so I included some eyes you can find at the fair from a few different places as well. All of the eyes mentioned today come with mesh options as well so it’s great for those that like to mix and match their eyes for unique looks.
The Heavy face has some nice dark eyeshadow shading and an almost Queen Amidala style lipstick. The eyes in this shot from Rue are from the Pluto range and have some gorgeous shades of blue.
The Intense face darkens the eyeshadow and lightens the lipstick from the Heavy version. The Rue Pluto eyes in the Manx set feature very vibrant greens.
The Liner face is a nice simple make up liner with no lipstick. Perfect for those that like to add their own lipsticks. The Korat set from Rue Pluto eyes has some very nice blue / purple combinations with a mixture of pale and dark eyes.
The Mole version is just the Liner with a little beauty spot/mole above the lip. The Rue Pluto Chartreux eyes are another green set with a hint of yellow.
The Plain is simply that. With a tiny hint of black eyeshadow it’s great for adding your own makeup options. Beautiful Freak has a very nice set called Chloral with a heap of colours to choose from. Nicely shaded with little highlights, my favourite set so far.
The Sincere face has a hint of blusher and eyeshadow with a little tint to the lips making it almost like a pout. Another set from Beautiful Freak called Sophie is great for those that like a two tone look.
The Stain face has a thin eyeliner. The lips on this one look hmm….blury…giving a ‘lipstick almost smudged / wiped off’ look to it. The eyes in this photo are from Avatar Bizzare, all individually sold. You have to have a mesh viewer for these ones as the eye layer is simply the sclera only.
The Stripe face has a small amount of eyeshadow and shading on the lips almost like the lipstick from Heavy and Intense. Another set from the Rue Pluto range is the Abyssinian with pink, purple and orange hues.

World Goth Fair is finally upon us with over 80 stores full of gothy goodies. There are two sims to the fair: Port Seraphine is the Mature rated sim and Cursed is the Adult rated sim. Both sims have a very easy to navigate circle of shops with a central gatcha area.
I wanted to start off my coverage of World Goth Fair with one of my favourite purchase weaknesses at the moment – SLink Nail Appliers. I can’t get enough of them. So many designers are getting on board with the appliers now that it’s hard to choose what to wear.
The dynamic duo at Adore & Abhor have been making some super pretty ones lately. These two sets come with 6 colours/variations each. The bats are good if you want a subtle hint of colour of your nails. The kitty nails are my favourite of the two with the little beady kitty eyes and great colour combinations.
Pin Me Down have a sexy gothy set with 8 designs to choose from. There little spiders web, raven on a blood red swirl background and simple white cross on black will definitely be worn a lot on my nails.
As soon as I started testing the SongBird nail appliers I knew it was going to be a nightmare of a choice which was my favourite. The gloss tipped matte colours are striking and the black is simply PERFECT. The splatter ones, well I can;t decide which colour I like best. I LOVE these nails!

My seven days of memes has reached it’s end. It’s been interesting looking back over past years through SL answering some of Strawberry’s questions over various memes. I’m ending the meme week with some wishes; My Three SL Wishes to be precise. Then I will be getting stuck into blogging the World Goth Fair which opens tomorrow and I am so excited.
Wish 1 – Better Avatar Shaping Controls. I love curvy shapes. Some people in SL make some really fantastic curvy shapes for themselves but I always cringe when I see the skinny ankles and knobbly knees. Not to mention the square boobs for those that have larger sized SL Avatar boobs and not the mesh ones. I would really love to be able to control the shape a whole lot more to make it more even when making a larger shape.
Wish 2 – Prim Allocation on Land Separation. It’s one thing I have always despised when owning sims and dividing up the land into parcels. I wish there was a way we could allocate what amount of prims from the sim we wanted to a specific parcel instead of the sim just allocating some weird random number based on the size of the parcel. It’s annoying when you want just a small parcel but to allow a larger number of prims than 70 so in order to get say 300 prims you have to keep increasing the size of the land to get it.
Wish 3 – Lower Cost of Purchasing a Sim. The initial cost of buying the sim to start with is what stops me purchasing one for myself. I have always rented from others and I have had some pretty shitty luck in the past with people up and leaving SL and not paying their tier even though I had been transferring Lindens to them for my ‘rent’, or coming to me one day and saying, you have to leave now I want to use that sim and just booting me, and the people that rented with me, from the sim without much warning. I think if the initial cost of purchasing your first sim was a little lower so many more people would buy sims.

I’m on my second to last post of my Seven Days of Memes and today it’s My SL Pet Peeves. Some of my pet peeves are RL pet peeves but they carry over to SL to an extent. Before I get into my peeves writing I just want to point out that I have on some awesome goodies from this years upcoming World Goth Fair. I will be starting my official posting for this shortly but I have started sneaking in previews to my posts, just like todays =)
In no particular order of annoyance, my top 5 SL Pet Peeves are:
FACELIGHTS – Yeah this is probably a given to a lot of people. I used to be a bitch about it to be honest. if I was standing in a store or something and all of a sudden I was a deer in the headlights I’d sprout off something like “Holy Bright Facelight Batman” in local chat. Most of the time the person who was wearing the hideous attachment just ignored me, walked away or TP’d out. Now however, if I am assaulted by the blinding lights I usually say “Who has the facelight of doom that should have stayed back in 2004? I’d like to derender you” This is usually in the case of being in a crowd of people. It usually also causes the other person to become ‘oh so tough on the interwebs’ and start hurtling abuse at me for being rude and ignorant and blah blah blah. Ignorance is playing Second Life and not knowing what your windlights are for. You don’t need glowy balls of doom hovering around your body putting you on constant spotlight status. It just washes you out and makes you look ridiculous really.
TOUGH TALK – I referenced it in the above peeve, but what I don’t get is people being all “If you touch my GF I’ll hunt you down and hurt you and your family”. Really?!?!?! Do you need to advertise to the rest of us that you are probably some whimpy teenager in his mothers basement pretending to be some big tough macho man? Because that is the impression it gives me when people start talking like that. Yes I have been known to throw out a few cuss words and get mouthy if I am pissed off but there is a huge difference between getting mouthy and being a dick. People that have these kind of statements in their profiles, I usually avoid like the plague.
LANDING ZONE AFK – It may seem like such a simple thing but it really annoys the crap out of me when I TP in to some place and there is someone just standing there in the spot they landed. Which then leaves me flipping around in circles on their head and sometimes stuck there until they either move or I TP out. If you need to rez before you move or suddenly have to AFK, just take a step forward FFS. It takes two seconds to press down on the arrow keys and move a couple of steps in any direction. You aren’t going to magically fall into an abyss of nothingness if you step away from the landing spot.
SPELLING LAZINESS – I know that different parts of the world spell things differently and I get that, but what I really get peeved at is when I am talking to someone and they type my name Aurora. It’s clearly on the screen next to the words I am typing, do you see a “U” in it? Once as a slip up/typo because that’s how you might have seen it elsewhere, but to do it repeatedly is just rude to me. It would be like me calling you Bob if your name was Bill. Another one that gets me ticked off is my store name. I deliberately have capital lets in places and spelled it ‘wrong’ for a reason. I even shorten it on my products with the ‘Z’ but yet I see people type it as Zanzibar Creations. no People. the c is lower case and there is a capital Z at the end not a lower case s. Look at my logo, my store information, my blog, my picks, my products, my MP store; EVERYTHING that has my store name on it is clearly printed as either Zanzibar creationZ or ZcZ for short.
UNADJUSTED PRIMS/MISFITTING MESH – It used to just be unadjusted prims that would make me want to slap people. I thought with the introduction of mesh that it would stop but people are still wearing things that just do not fit them. If someone else can notice it surely you can notice it on yourself? I kind of wish SL had an option to adjust prims on other people. I think I would make a job out of it though. Just TPing around the grid and accosting random people and fixing them. Oh and I’d probably include colour matching prim body parts like boobs, ears, feet and hands. With most things coming out with appliers it is starting to lesson the mismatched skin tones out there though. I’ve seen some mesh lately though where the wearer has obviously tried to pair up a top and a bottom from two different stores and they don’t exactly blend well or fit together. But instead of finding something else they just wore them anyway with mesh sticking into mesh and looking horrible.
