Outside of the Box|PRF|VF

Bonjour~

Lol, hello peeps! Inu's appearing to be human again, haha.  I'm trying to think outside of the box with Inu's looks. Maybe not all the time, but sometimes. I need to step out of my comfort zone more, lol.

I am bringing to you two events over the next couple weeks:

Pink Ribbon Fair: Blog: [X] | Teleport: [X] (Open August 4th) 

 Pink Ribbon Fair is a charity event to help in the fight against breast cancer.

Vanity Fair: Blog: [X] | Teleport: [X] (Open Now) 



This look combines the strength of a woman with the edgy, fierceness of vanity.  Women are strong yet beautiful creatures.~

Speaking of Batman above, I would like to take a short moment to give my condolences to the families involved in the "Batman: The Dark Night Rises" move massacre that occurred in Colorado.

I Can't Relax!

Yea..I need a belt peeps. No really...I have very few belts in SL *shrug* Oh well. Guess i'll have to sag. :P

My Sweater: In order to wear this sweater I had to sag..it's been so hot. xD This sweater is by Yulicie [X].

My Heels: My shoes are called "Ombre", by Paperbag., and are available at this round of Fi-Friday [X] discount event!

This outfit was a little odd for me, slightly out what I consider to be my "usual style" in SL, but i'm happy with the way it turned out.

About my..ahem.."relaxed" style today, with my little cell phone in hand...I don't always have a cell phone activated. What do I do without a cell phone? Yes, life becomes pretty difficult, but *yawn* when I don't have one, people can't call me whenever they want. I don't have a land-line in my bedroom, nor is my land-line personal.  I try to leave my phone on, not knowing if their will be a family emergency, or if i'll hear back from a job I applied for, but every time I turn around, someones calling my phone! Even worse? Over half of the time, they aren't calling to talk to me; they want to get into contact with another phoneless person. On top of this, most of the time people manage to call me when i'm sleeping. Ugh. Not only was I awoken this morning by a phone call, I was awoken again during my afternoon nap. Can't a girl get a decent sleep? -.- *Finishes her bottle of Starbuck's Frappe, then opens up a soda*

Super Human|SL Slut-Butts

Hey peeps! Look! I appear to be human! Haha. Just don't ask me to give you a toothy smile. ;P

I had a dream last night that I was a super human. I had super human speed, and could carry like 4x my weight, haha. I actually had Kyle on my back, LOL. It was like Twilight 1, Edward carrying Bella and calling her a spider monkey, just..less cheesy, and more cool. Hee Hee. I swear, this heat wave is giving me the oddest dreams!

My Dress [X]: I like this sexy little backless dress called, "My Tchatcha - Pinkiz Leo" by .Mes Sucreries.! It even  has a cute little zipper over the butt. ;) Poor Kyle, I bet he's been unzipping it with his eyeballs rofl. It inspired me to get all dressed up. :) This mesh dress comes in a few different patterns. ;)

Besides, these are just a beta!!! They're still awesome, lol)

My Shirt is by  Paperbag. [X], and is called, "Vampy 2 Frayed". Looks like Inu had some *ahem* trouble putting on her shirt with those claws...haha!

To Trap A Monster

To trap a monster, is to try and lock away your insanity....Why do we lock away what we don't understand? It is nothing but a frightened beast...It may speak your language, but not in a way that you can understand. Nor do you try to understand. You are scared of it, and it is scared of you. The monster that dwells inside your own head. You want it to go away, but it is just as stuck inside your head as you are. Talk to the monster. Face your demons. Only then can you get some peace...

Hello peeps! Today in RL I went to take a test for a job...wish me luck! <3

Anyway, as promised, here's an outfit instead of a pose showcasing. :P I wasn't quite sure what was going on with this outfit, but slowly it all came together into something that i'm soooo going to make an *Outfit* for so that I can wear it again. <3



My shirt is by Paperbag. [X] and is called, "Crop Top 2.0 Fangs". Yes, Paperbag. had seemed to have taken a break, but they're back with a bunch of awesome buys which I will be showcasing later on. I mean some REALLY nice stuff, so you may wish to run over and take a peek. This top was one of my favs! You know i'm almost always wearing fangs, so I thought it was adorb to have fangs printed on a plain black, sexily cropped shirt. <3

My pants are by .Mes Sucreries. [X] and are called, "My Mesh Skinny Pants -Zebra-". I couldn't help but go "awwwhh" when I saw theseee! <3 They're so adorb. <3 Imagine in your head right now...a pink zebra! :D Hee Hee!

That's all for now yo!

Fluid|Decent Exposure (NSFW)

A blindfold has been placed over my eyes, but I can see glow of the bright stage light pointed  directly on him and I. I don't see the crowd of mainly men, but I can here their indecent remarks, I can feel their heavily concentrated stares, watching me; the main event for the night. His hands reach around my delicate neck, slowly squeezing..I quickly realize that it is a distraction as I feel his...

Sorry. That's all you get! Haha. Another pose from the Fluid event. To Kyle's dismay, this is the last one we took together, lol. I did have fun with these poses; something out of the ordinary for my blog, hee hee. Don't worry guys; next post will definitely be for an actual outfit. You're gonna love ittttt! I've been rocking it hard! <3

Remember that Fluid is a 2 week event that brings you the best items to pose with on the grid, from poses and animations to props and furniture! :D

Fluid|The Slave Overpowers His Mistress

Her hands tied behind her back, her neck covered with a collar, she knew that she was now the pet. His burning hands explored the body of his new toy...

Hey peeps! I'm sort of tired, so I will keep this short and sweet. Today I bring you another pose from Round 2 of Fluid, with Kyle as my "male model", of course ;). I really enjoyed posing with my sexy Kyle, and he enjoyed it just as much. He felt like the master for once, haha.

I loved how the post-processed pictures came out. Mainly, I played around with the lighting. Besides that, mostly just touch-ups/my usual techniques.

Fluid|Let Me Devour You

The general had a moment of weakness. He tried to tell himself that this would be the only time he would block his wife out of his thoughts; but little did he know that this woman would cause darkness to forever slowly consume his heart.  

Hello peeps!  I know, I know...I haven't blogged anything for Fluid yet...*shrieks* Setting up poses and getting Kyle ready well...took some work. Besides, i've been sorta busy lately. I know, excuses. Sorry!

This photo represents a married army general or someone of power, who has tried all war to stay faithful to his wife. He finds himself having a moment of weakness when a beautiful girl comes on to him hard. He gets consumed by lust, and for a moment he tries to put his wife out of his mind and focus on the woman on top of him. Unknown to him, this "innocent" woman was a succubus. Every moment that passed, she filled his heart with more and more darkness. ~

Well, let me tell you a bit about Fluid:

Fluid is a 2 week themed event that showcases 12 of SL’s best pose, props, animations and furniture designers.  The second rotation’s over arching theme is “That’s Risque“, so as you ca see, the pose above looks a bit..naughty. ;) Fluid is brought to you by The Ego Co!

This wonderfully textured pose chair comes with a few built in, sexy animations.  I wanted to show you all more poses but SL's been bonkers for me lately! I hope it's not just me x.x' I tried guys, I tried.

If you're interested in this chair or viewing more "Risque" poses, please check out the current round of Fluid.:)

We hit it off really fast, and became close really fast. It feels like i've known her forever when, in reality, i've only known her a short time. I think I hit the jackpot with this one! ;)

Tips on Boosting Self Confidence

 Hello peeps! Above is just a few shots I took at my new house, hee hee. I'm enjoying the place so far...

Anyway, I talked  to a friend recently about self confidence. We had both admitted to lacking it during our teen years, but with some work, regained it. Today I will share a few simple tips on how to have good self confidence (in no particular order). Already do? Well, these tips may still come in handy before a job interview, or any other moment when many of us are not at our best in the self confidence department. 

1) The Mirror: This is my Ace, so i've decided to share it first. When I lacked self confidence, what helped me the most was my bathroom mirror each morning. I made sure to point out something nice about myself that day. If my skin seemed prettier than normal, I would point that out (I have eczema on my face, so pretty skin meant a lot to me). If my hair looked healthy and shiny, or soft, or perhaps I managed to get my hair into a pretty hairstyle, I would tell myself that. If I had put together a nice outfit, I could point that out to myself too. There are plenty of things one can point out about themselves..just look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself what's pretty that day. 

2) The Mirror - Improvement: If "The Mirror" works for you, which I have good faith that it will, then i'd take it a step further by making small self improvements. Again, nothing wrong with caring about your looks. If a certain facial scrub worked the day before, i'd of course try it again the next day for the same "pretty skin" effect. If I liked my hairstyle the day before, I would fix it up the same way the next day. With this, I might add a little lipgloss. I'm not big on makeup, especialllyyyyy with my eczema, but a little makeup isn't a bad thing. I also began to put more effort into my outfits by planning them out better, and adding accessories. This way, slowly, you learn what kinds of things work for you and bring out your best features. By being able to look in the mirror and like what you see is a tremendous confidence booster. It's about doing your best to knock out as many physical insecurities that you have about yourself. Not everything can be changed, and i'm not saying go get plastic surgery or anything, but little changes really do help. I was born with a twisted leg, but I focus on my other good physical points so that it bothers me less. Focus on improving what you can so that you don't let physical differences put you down. 

3) Inner Beauty - If you can point out what's good about you on the outside, what about the inside? Think about those good things that make you...you. I'm a humorous person, so that's a strong point about me. Kyle mentioned just yesterday about how I am able to make jokes about myself. I know how to laugh at myself if that situation arises, or make a joke about myself if i see room for one. I'm also honest...some may say that i'm brutally honest...probably true. But I see it as a strong point because so many people ask me for advice or for my opinion and know that they're not going to get a false or sugar-coated answer. Things like this are what make me, me. Think about your inner qualities that are good. Just thinking about them can help boost your confidence because it reminds you that you're special, and have natural gifts. You could even take things a step further, and seek out friends who share similar qualities, even if it's just on the internet. 

4) Be Thankful - Okay...so your life isn't perfect. Whose is? So...you've had a very hard life? Well, you've prevailed. If you suspect that things that have happened to you are whats holding you back, you must let them go. They're in the past, this is your present. If you're in a good relationship, have awesome friends, a job, a good skill, a fun hobby? Anything like this is something to be grateful for. Sit down and think or write out a list every now and then about what has happened recently that you have to be thankful for. This will help to remind you that your life isn't completely full of bad things. And if you honestly can't think of anything good going for you right now, then get up and start a hobby. You can go to the gym and work out a few times a week, you can go help out at shelters and schools, pick up fishing, hiking, building model airplanes or make paper dolls... Well hey, you're in Second Life; start building, or join a club and start working. Try and remember that, most likely, something good is in your life, you just have to remember what those things are. 

5) Whoops! Oh well. - Not all mistakes can be dismissed...if you did something to piss off the love of your life and he/she leaves you, that's not the easiest to shrug off...But, some things are easy to shrug off. If my blog photos don't turn out the best, I just tell myself "better luck next time". I don't sweat it. Don't get me wrong; I love this blog with my heart and soul, but I will not let it stress me out too much. I know that i'm not perfect, but that's okay. No one is. This sort of goes hand in hand with "being thankful". If I mess up on a set of blog photos for an entry, I remind myself that the last entry or one before it was wonderful, and that i'm not perfect so every picture won't turn out the same. If you messed up on something not major, let it go. You're not a total failure because of a little slip-up. Remember those things that you're thankful for in your life; those things that are going good for you. 

6) Make Believe - Last but not least, it is more than okay to pretend like you have self confidence.  This step was pretty big for me too. I acted like I had more self confidence that I really had. No, I didn't act like some over-confident jerk, but I also made the effort to let go of my shyness, and tried to open up to people more. I even admit that i'm still not the best in this area, but i'm getting better all the time. By acting like you have confidence, it can trick the brain into thinking you have said confidence. You'll start to become comfortable with having self confidence, and start to become comfortable being you. If you're willing to give this a try, it also may help if you know someone who tends to know a lot of people. Kyle knows a nice amount of people, so he's like my wing-man. Because I go places with him, if he sees someone he knows he'll introduce them to me. I then radiate my confidence to try and knock away some of my shyness, and well..I've gained a few friends thanks to him and my effort. Please don't confuse this with trying to be said friend. It's important to be YOU. If you find yourself defining you with what you see your friend in, or the way he or she behaves, that's just copying. If they have their hair a certain way/color, have a certain taste in accessories, or a certain overall style..yes it may work for them, and people may love them for it, but it's important to find your own style. No one wants someone else trying to be them. So make believe yes, but come up with your own style

Regaining and maintaining self confidence isn't easy, trust me. And no, it's not going to happen over night. But remember that little changes can lead to big changes. Try adding these steps to your daily routine, try talking about your self confidence issues with a therapist or a close friend or family member. You loosing your self confidence probably wasn't your fault, but no one but you can get it back. I know plenty of people who think that they can find self confidence if they have a boyfriend, girlfriend, or just plain friends to tell them they're attractive and compliment them, or think that substance abuse is the way to go. These things will just delay you on your path to self confidence, and usually tend to do more harm than good. Love you first, inside and out, as much as possible. You have to stand on your own two feet. Work on a better you.
