Virtual Insanity?

“… And now that things are changing for the worse
See, its a crazy world we’re living in
And I just can’t see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these –

Future’s made of virtual insanity now
Always seem to, be governed by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound – for we all live underground

And I’m thinking what a mess we’re in
Hard to know where to begin…”

[- Jamiroquai -]

When you think about your life as a path, it never seems to be a straight and smooth one. You have junctions, where you have to decide which way to go. You will face bumpy and rocky sections. You might even dead-end streets, which first looked completely right and all of a sudden you realize it won’t let you go further than a certain point. You might find ways, that feel as they would go to nowhere – some really do some just take a long walk until you can see where they lead to. Some might request major changes and decisions and some just need next to nothing to decide the change.

I am at one of those junctions, maybe even one of the dead-end ones in RL and SL. While it is a little more complicated in RL, in SL I just need to get my mind straight and think about what I really want for my free time activity called Second Life. I – and I only can talk about myself and my personal feelings – do not need a Second Life that dictates my schedule, gives me pressure time wise, forces me to decide on things I do not feel I want to, or to follow something I am not 100% behind anymore. Certainly I feel responsible about schedules and appointments, I always tried to be accurate, on time and well prepared what ever it was, but sometimes the thought of “Do I really need that?” sneaked into my mind and I was more careful the next time I committed to something. But what about things that you thought they would totally suit you and you would enjoy them – what you maybe even did for a while – and then they change? Maybe the fun fades or they take direction to something completely different than what you expected or pictured? I have a hard time lettings things go I had fun with for along time, especially if friendship is involved. It is always harder – at least for me – to leave something, if you have built a friendship with some of the people. Sometimes friendships break as certain people will take your decisions personally, even if they are not meant to be like that. On the other hand if you go on with it, you might risk the friendship as well as you are constantly unhappy and even if you try to hide it, it most likely will be felt by other people, especially if it is friends. Often it is a tightrope walking and you have to think very carefully how you decide.

That sometimes can lead to a “Virtual Insanity”, which inspired me for todays post and pictures.

The damn cool straight jacket was made by CerberusXing for the Warehouse Sales event. It comes in a clean and bloody version and due the BoM Alpha layer you can wear it with different mesh bodies. The cute, pierced horns as well were made by CerberusXing for the Anthem event. My mega awesome piercing I found at Kinky made my .:E.A.Studio:. It is a huge gacha with many different parts, while the piercing is one of the rares you will find a lot of cool earrings as well. To snap my pictures with that kinda crazy, insane look, what could be better than the Rosewood Hills Asylum made by DRD. It is a huge gacha with 49 collectables items and they make in total over 150 separate decorative items!  The gacha set was parted into 2 machines, one focusing more on the medical interior and the other on the office interior. I just can say both totally worth to collect if you want an overall awesome Asylum! If you want a short and scary tour through the Rosewood Hills Asylum you can as well take a look HERE, where Eowyn and Jaimy made a short video to introduce it – watch at your own risk *grins wickedly* If you are even more brave you can take a taxi to Rosewood Hills (SURL below in credits) and look for yourself if you can survive the virtual insanity *winks*

Wicca’s Originals @ We♥RP // December 2020

Wicca’s Originals @ We♥RP // December 4th – 31st

Wicca’s Originals continued to build on the Ayda set (Outfit and Collar) with the addition of the Ayda Arms. These are a modern take of vambraces, covering from high on the upper arm all the way to the wrist in a synthetic carbon fiber polymer. A series of small metallic plates are built into the material, wrapping all the way around the arm and covering it from end to end, offering substantial protection for the flesh and bone (or augmented substitute) hidden underneath. A few tubes are raised outside of the armoring, providing shielding for fluids like blood and oil, or wires. Scuff marks on the metal show the signs of wear and tear on these arms, evidence that they are not just for show. These come in the same 20 color palettes as the rest of the Ayda set, and can be worn on Maitreya, Legacy, Hourglass and Freya bodies.

As a We♥RP Christmas Special we have made a special red/gold version for our Pathfinder set, which you will only find for the duration of the event for 50L$ only!

Happy Holidays!

Wicca’s Originals @ Kinky // November 28th – December 13rd

The Ayda Collar and Pasties by Wicca’s Originals is a new take on the usual dainty collar, and offers a much more dangerous kind of pasties. Some collars get locked on, this mass of metal gets welded around the neck much more permanently, and even includes optional pipes to connect into the lungs so someone who dares to be your master can literally take your breath away. The pasties redefine the joke of nipples poking one’s eyes out, by including a thin spike curved downward. While most pasties are glued on, we leave it up to the imagination how these heavier masses of metal stay firmly affixed to tender, yielding breast flesh. Not for the faint of heart. This set pairs great with the Ayda Outfit itself, and has a color palette to match, with 20 color options! Fits Maitreya, Legacy, Hourglass, and Freya bodies.

TUNES

Caroline laughs and it’s raining all day
She loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place in the side of our lives
Where nothing is ever put straight
She turns her self round and she smiles and she says
“This is it that’s the end of the joke”
And loses herself in her dreaming and sleep
And her lovers walk through in their coaches

Pretty in pink, isn’t she?

DRD & Wicca’s Originals @ The Warehouse Sale // November 2020

DRD & Wicca’s Originals @ The Warehouse Sale // November 23rd – December 18th

Presenting DRD’s and Wicca’s Originals first ever collab!

Death Row Designs has teamed up with Wicca’s Originals to create the Alyx Legs. This prosthetic design is for the destitute out there, who can’t afford top-end medical limb replacements or don’t have access to a proper hospital. However, it’s also so much more than a simple peg leg. It sports a bucket thigh holder, with plenty of room to affix bumper stickers connected to a simple but functional hinge joint for the knee, which may squeak on occasion if left unoiled. The attachable wooden leg itself is the bottom half of a walking cane, complete with a rubber stop at the end to help with ‘grip’. However, it’s also so much more, to help you get a ‘leg up’ on your current, unfortunate situation! It has a utilitarian wire basket, to hold your various odds and ends in to help survive the wastelands. And for anyone who tries to give you any snark about your leg, there’s a sharp knife and back end of a sawblade where the foot might be, ready to deliver an attitude adjustment to them. The Alyx Legs are fitted to Maitreya, Legacy, Hourglass, Freya, and Signature Gianni bodies. The accompanying HUD offers both Wicca’s Originals and Death Row Designs textures, and the color palette has a full 21 color options, giving great styling flexibility. While we are sorry for your loss of limb, we won’t ask how, and simply hope the Alyx Legs will help make your unique situation a bit more tolerable.

“I’m gonna make you a Psycho”

TUNES

Love, it will get you nowhere
You are on your own
Lost in the wild
So come to me now
I could use someone like you
Someone who’ll kill on my command
And asks no questions

I’m gonna make you
I’m gonna break you
I’m gonna make you
A fucking psycho
Your ass belongs to me now

“Space Cowboy”

TUNES

This is the return of the space cowboy
Interplanetary, good vibe zone
Say, at the speed of cheeba, you and I go deeper
Maybe I’m gonna have to get high just to get by
Now, you know I got that
I got that cheeba, cheeba kinda space cowboy vibe

The basic design for todays pictures was the amazing face tattoo from .:E.A.Studio:. called “TaTToo Corvus Make-Up”. It is one of the recent releases at their main store. I loved how the wings hugged the undereyeline. You get the choice between black and white and as well 2 different opacities for each – 40% and 60%. All of them are BoM layers and so they will work wit every head that supports BoM. For my LeLUTKA heads it works just perfectly. *winks*. The layers are modifiable, so you even could turn the white one into every color you like. The head I am using today, is the new boundless update for Erin.For the outfit I chose the amazing “Rocket Captain” from {PSYCHO:Byts}. I love the details on the body as well as on the hat. You get different colored for the body and the metals of the whole outfit. I really had fun decorating my set as soon as the idea of a military space mechanic came to my mind. The “Wreck Hideout” from 22769 was perfect for that scenery! First I thought about a motorbike for my mechanic, but then I found that amazing, futuristic space bike from STUN in my inventory, which even came with those cool poses!
