i've been so dam busy by working in ps, making jeans and t'shirts, trying to perfect the alpah texturing, that i don't hardly have any time to write or even be in " world ".

amanda, bless her heart, she walked me through on skype, on how to make alpha textures in psp. which i thought i would never learn. i've asked her like " huh and what button, where is it, say it again..."  hah.

and by all means i am a total noob at it. but i can cut some stuff now, add things to shirts and blend the layers and then some. yet i don't do these in psp, i do that in ps. i just taught myself from the psp basics to make these alphas in ps. and i am having a ball doing so.

i made amanda a shirt for her fanclub, the " Amanda Tae Fanclub ". the woman loves pink and some old cartoon show called " rainbow bright ". now i don't know none about american cartoons or old shows - simply because i didn't grew up here.

i found one cartoon chica called " shy violet " and added her to amanda's t'shirt ( but gotta mention, that i didn't knew how to make "her" alpha a few days ago, so amanda had to make her own logo alpha and i used it for her shirt ( pssst... now i know how to make these lil alpha buggers in ps...hehe)

sooo, here is my first shirt made for amanda's fans - she wanted it cute - so i made it dam cute as seen below :

 

the pic was taken at " platinum plus ", carducci's sim. behind amanda is one carducci's bikes in gold. amanda is the inofficial motor-frame-alpha texture queen for the lil carducci man. she does an awesome job!

i can not and will NOT learn on how to cut out the tiny details with freehand on some dam huge alphas. hell no! i don't have patience for that. even tho carducci asked me " did you learn alpha yet? ". the hell yea and neaa, i will not do anything complicated like that - everrrr.

anyhow, the carducci ppls and fam knows, lil, will go afk for long periods of time, pass out, take a catnap or just go afk because he can.

when he does that, gala gets to work, and amanda is finally getting more feisty and not so missus nice anymore, and hops along with my evil and spontanious'ness.

basicly, if you go afk around me or asleep, you better watch ya ass, because i'm gonna " decorate you "!

i did it in the past, back in philly with myg and sable before. and there is none more fun then " decorating afk'rs ".

amanda called a friend on to platinum plus, someone name " madison ", who had a shitload of "yack's", so we decorated " lil". most of the pics i've deleted because they may harm that mans biz or who knows what else. i took out the " dancing cows " and a " keiko doll " for lil, madison placed some horns on lil's head. amanda had a huge teddybear who held a heart, man....we placed so much shit on his sim. incl some fishes above his head, some mexican smiling cactus, blue bunnies, and i placed a chefhat on his dreadz. amanda and me cried laughing on skype. madison tried to be a bit more " reasonable "...cheaaa riiight.

we were on the edge of the sim, amanda was laggin and hopping around like a mad cow with her cow, trying to find a good pose spot. lil... i pushed his afk self around and for some unknown reason he landed atop of the yackt (sp?)

in the end.... we picked all of our shit up and i pushed lil back to the bike where he was orignally parked at. but we bombarded him with pics we took of him. i thought for a moment we would crash the sim with all the textures on his ass.

a day earliar or so, carducci send me a tp with the message " hurry up, i need a model for the bike ads ".

see, i knew i've been "model material" , all along...because i am so dam perrdy.

anyhow, he wanted me in something sexy and silver. and silver he got, including 3 different skins and it was on. i had so many dam images on my desktop it was unreal. but it got done with lol's and lmao's and then some. he positioned me on his bike, including yadni's emoter and the shooting session was a freaking blast. again i deleted most of the pics, just kept those three here. with the first one being now in his carducci bike ads.

i look kickass,ok?!

even tho, i am not really used to the " new skin " yet, that an secret unamed admirer has bought for me. ( no amanda, don't ask me,.. it's a secret woman, lol )

first pic here - look up " carduccis in search " and you see my incredible beauty all over ya dam greasy monitors.

and no, i am not naked.. got a g'string and bra top on, the silver kind. hehe

not getting assraped, but the emoter made me do it. ( note carducci's pout in the back, hahaha )

this pic is so dam carducci style! thats so him, if he could smash my pixel skull, he would do it, for running my mouth all the time. really...this is so dam hillarious.

anyhow, back to work, more ps, more shirts, mo money mo money mo money.

yea it's a trip, i haven't written anything on here for a while, and today it's going to be 2 blogs.

i've been busy maaaan, in sl and rl. my rl is none of yours, unles i know your ass really well.

but my sl has been a rollercoaster. i've been texturing for carducci, and his new sim called " platinum plus ".

if you haven't been there, i'm gonna tell you only once get ya ass there. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Platinum%20Plus/111/129/23

beautiful woman, gangstas, handsome men, rp'rs and noobs galore ( some even have some sort of sense ).

naked noobs who don't know how to walk straight, but they know how to tp to the "sexclub" and stick their discolored peckers into some pixel punana hole.

there is so much to see on platinum plus. a theater, a gunrange, gas station, dancing on the streets, hobos. hell everything. including the best guns in sl.

- - -

now my new " baby project " was to make a " diner". i love the ghettofied texturing ( and the real look, nothing cartoonish in gala's texture adventures ),  and the dark and dirty look. so a traditional diner was again a new challenge. took me about all day to do that. because my ideas come along while i work on it piece by piece.

i've looked at many other diners on sl and slx, and they all had a few things in common. they were either aqua bright, or based on a 50's look or just downright bad builds with sl default textures, or colored prims without textures.

i've been bugging carducci to get a diner, because every cool sim needs a diner. so he bought this crazy looking thing from slx.

this diner had mainly colored orange prims, terrible default texture - basicly who in the world would want to eat here look.

so i went to work, collected food and drinks, silverware everything i could get my pixel hands on from all over sl. and the texturing madness begun. i am a sucker for the " real thing look ". i can't stand bad texturing, or color combos that just hurt your eyes and make your stomach hurl.

so here is my end product of the diner i've created, with many morgue textures, an dirty stove texture i slapped up in ps. among rust and old dirty floors. basicly a hangout for people, whom are on a limited income and have been going to the same diner for the past 30 yrs to have some bad lukewarm coffee, the hipster with his laptop, who eats cheap hotdogs because he is really unemployed yet he thinks he looks just cooler with his non working laptop, the cyber punks who love the ambiente from old to new to postmodern. something for everyone. that was in my mind. get a place that is real, that you would visit in rl - minus the bad food and bad service.

check it out, and also get ya asses in there so i can serve you all some greasy high in cholesterol food. ( amanda came up with the name for the diner  - it is now called " The Greasy Grind "! whoohoo! )

 

 

 

 

 

 

i am so dam proud of this project, i could scream!

i want to add some more poses and food in there, and make this a kickass hangout. this is one of my master pieces ( have i mentioned.. i am modest?..hehe )

now to get to this location on platinum plus - click here and bring some friends with you. we have plenty of seating in there and you will love it.

cheaa! i've been taking some pics of best male av's in sl. everyone talks about the nice female av's, and of course i am the bestest one * grins *.

anyhow what about the guys - they need a place in someone's blog too, right? riiight.

so far, i only have 4 pics, but if someone reads that, and think you should be on there - shoot me an IM, but you better be ready to represent. and by that i mean you better look dam good, got some style of your own, incl a kickass ao, slap some money into your av, like you're a bitch on a shopping spree ( miss hilton anyone?)

i'm picky as what i consider good looking. if you look like a dam 'scott stapp' look a like with a bunch of cheap ass tattoos and a gurl 6 mullett you better keep on walking. and yea the leather chap pants wont do it neither. or the overly overstyled vampires, bah seen it - you aint it.

bay babay, you gotta have style and be different. otherwise i'm gonna make you look like a fool.

and i'm known to just that.

as a matter of fact, i think i am one of the most hated females in the platinum plus sim. why?

because i speak my dam mind, and more then likely if you are a noob - i wont like you. your skin makes me itch, your handpainted hair and bad shape - yep you make me itch even more.

anyhow, here it is. this pic is of some neko guy who i thought looks so dam cool, notice the 2 colored eyes, and the overbite! a overbite usually looks better on females, but this guy rocks:

 

next, there is "dex", he is a part of the platinum plus aka carducci clique. he pissed me off last night, because he is in his own word " just to gullible". yes dex you are just that, and you gotta get your mind straight and stop breaking females hearts on sl, cause otherwise, i will put you into the ' looser' category. so get ya act together and stop being such a snitching and bitching crybaby. neverthless tho, he has a cool av, i call it the " corey hart " look.

 

next there is the bossman, the carducci. even tho his av is not handsome in a typically handsome way - yet he is handsome to me. he got a weird look, can't really dress worth shit, one day he is bob marley, the next day he plays urban cowboy, then back to the gangsta - everything- gotta - gotta match shit. but women and men flock to him, like bees around some no good honey. he is a sl phenomenon with attitudes from hell - but he also got his good moments. he is definetly different, and different is good. ( btw, you owe me 50L for the texture uploads - pay up heffa, lol )

 

 

and last but not least, there is "ston3d", one of the most beautiful male av's i've seen in sl. this pic actually doesn't do this charming frenchman no justice. you can usually see him with a parrot on his shoulder, who wears a army helmet, got a bulletchain on his back and smokes a joint. this is a pic i took at fraxini, carducci's scarface mansion, at some party. ( i have better pics of him...but i am in there as well ) so this will have to do it. he usually doesn't wear the bling, he is just dam handsome and funny as hell.

 

the end,

one more day and a half...and then til wednesday. three days. i feel like screaming.

i'll be running in circles like a tiger locked up in a zoo.

three long days...

placing my nails against my bedroom walls, banging my head. sounds weird? well then, welcome to gala land.

words in my mind, to much to comprehend.

i just close with a screenshot.

good night,

gala~

 

 

 

this is such an overdue post. i've ment to post some of these pics a while ago, but i've been to busy in world and rl to add and convert these pics to png files and yadda yadday.

so aside my usual bitching, here are some of my texture projects i've made. these are all made for carducci. some of them like the mansions external i would have done different, but he wanted it in a scarfacey style, so there is the mansion. the building is so huge, and really the textures i suppose aren't to clear on those pic formats.

the scarface mansion outside:

the room i re-textured in italian blues:

 

the next project, i was in texture heaven, because carducci let me pretty much do what i wanted too in the texturing department. he said make it look  " rockstar ", and i went loca. i mixed up mediterian and greek textures and this is what came out. i didn't wanted anything to be bright colored/ textured. i went for the old style and old roman/ greek casa/ castle/ ambiente.

the main hall:

and tonight, i helped lady c on a re- texturing for an add board. i should have taken a before pic. oh well, the thing was all white and well strange looking. amanda made the carducci sign on top of the adboard ( is it one d or 2 d's? ), anyhow and thats what came out. the motto was street looking. yet my graffiti ghetto textures are to dark for the board. so i've tried to create the 3d effect of a mixture of billboard and street look. and there it is: ( the cube signs are the way they were, i only made these a tad lighter in color)

 

and here:

and one more... at another one of carducci's one mill locations, me being ak-47 trigger happy and the background is all textured ghetto fab by the gala me again.

 

nuff said,

long day long night.

spend tons of money at "relics", bought a piano and classical music sheets, curtains, lights, rugs and more.

had a major fallout with carducci, who can seriously kiss my dam ass now. i don't even want to get all into that crap because thats what it is - c r a p.

met up with romana, who gave me a rideable cow, showed me sable's new shop, and some other stuff thats new in philly.

paige is pissed that i sold alex the 256sq land. alex we may need to talk, you re-sell the land to them ( for the same price as i sold it to you, because it was the price i bought it for), i sell you more land. i have to get down in my tier fees anyhow. want 1024sq? let me know, and you get it.

"relics" sim got either attacked or LL is messing up, poor sue stonebender kept appologizing to everyone, for something that was so not her fault. 1/3 rd of their sim got missing/ trashed. regardless, their sim is one of the most beautiful sims i've ever seen - totally breathtaking.

it is 04:35AM, i have to be up in less then 4 hours and take care major rl stuff.

got the house i want in rl, me happy - joy - joy - moving in 1 1/2 weeks.

fixed my beach house up somewhat, its a color faux pas chaos right now. i don't care. this will be my sanctuary.

need more tenants in philly, 3 lofts are open for rent. if anyone reads this - go rent it.

placed a taxi cab into philly - the dump truck had to die.

04:39AM, i type slow, i am tired, i am going to bed.

the end,

some recap on what has been happening in gala land. and land you can truly say.

i've bought land on a island. no wont cost me more as in my allotted land allowance. it's on one of the "azure sims. the whole island only has 9 residents. it's a nice neighborhood as in island living. i only have to pay a weekly tier fee.

i first tried " anshechung studios" to find a nice island " resort ". but these so called " 24 hours of customer service people" were about the rudest and dumbest people ever. one replied " who u", and then said " dats my wedding, aint got time". when i asked her, if she know anyone else that may be online from the anshechung website... no response. mind you i left each and every " sales person" an offliner - not one replied! fuck you much ok, i took my business elsewhere!

so i went to azure, and bought the land, with doubleprims from LadyC, which is a part of the carducci family. i am nearly broke, but thats about normal. i am on of the brokest land lady on sl.

on a side note, seems my gambling addiction will cometo a healthy halt tho, according to the sl news, to stop the casinos in sl as seen here.

so i have been working last night or day on my boathouse, my island sanctuary. i looked at several pre-fab houses, all whack, simple build, with to many doors, to many stairs to much of everything, that is first of all not needed, secondly, either no textures or default libary shit and they ask for a price anywhere from $L 1500 - 8000! hell no, fuck that.

i can build, right? right! so i started last night, the most inportant part was to get the boardwalk right, the terraform for my underground. they would only let me dig 4 mtrs tho. its all good, i can close the underground by rising the land back up.

the roof was a bitchhhhhhhhhh. i never made anything like that before, my rotations talents suck big time. so, i called carducci on skype and he came to help me on the roof. no, let me correc myself. he made me a whole new roof. it looks so dam good. i took a pic of what it looked like while he worked on it. my shit is up in the air. he placed exactly what i wanted as a roof.

 

these are just plain textures, which i use for building and not to disturb my neighbors with some ugly ass building. carducci fussed of course about my alignments... yea man, i do most of it by the eye, lol. but he seemed to like my idea of making something different on there.

the house is now well textured in the inside, i pulled an upstairs loft kinda prim in there for my bed and star gazing moments. i used italian, mediterrian inside textures, and some sweet wooden floor textures. this " boat house" will be the shit, once it is done.

i got many ideas from " vanny ", who took me on a tour and showed me her and lisa's "porn star dream land". it is breath taking. specially the dungeon! that dungeon is one in a million. i uuuh'd and aaah'd like a kid in a candy store. vanny told me she made the layouts on their 8k some island home, and lisa did the furnishing. and boy, did miss lisa did one amazing job. the art prints, the stylish furnitures - are so beautiful. the plants and walkways around their paradise - just wow and wow.

it gave me ideas, but gala will have a gala isla. yet i do adore people who are dam talented and place the most amazing builds anywhere on this virtual reality.

however, i am neglecting my philly people and i miss them dearly. specially romana, my mentor, my friend and the one who goes out of her way, beyond borders. i would not have this land, if romana would have not been there and made it happening. her reasons? " i want you to be happy '!

she is the most amazing woman on sl. remember when she made me that shrine, its a few posts back on here. because i was depresst and she just build me a shrine, to show me that i am loved and appreciated.

man... i love you romana.

gala~

my philly people probably think i went off to the durty south and left the city of philadlephia. well in a way i am. i'm spending way to much time, texturing mansions, rooms, furnitures, shooting ranges and then some. but so far i am still having fun doing so.

re-texturing items in sl is becoming an addiction for me. to make something nice out of other peoples junk. to create an kicking italian themed room, out of a bleh white wall nothing room. my work is blooming. not only that, but everything i do gets way faster. i look at a style, which in this case is " scarface". rich woods, italian ambiente comes to my mind. thick layers on sofas, chairs, mahagony walls.

it is a challenge. everything i made so far prior to the scarface is nothing but hood/ ghettofied prims. now, i have to use my mind, go way back into the bella italia and my memories of what i saw there many years ago. and it is coming to me. almost on point, i look at a desk, carducci has, which was nothing but bad lights of neon/ steel sub culture, and i made a master piece out of it. ( no pic, i forgot to take one ). my mind is creating prims, trying to get the 3D look, the realness behind a plump prim. and its working kidz. i love this lil side project.

but as i have mentioned in my last post, carducci and i we clash. if we are to long around one another- we gonna fight. and did we FIGHT! it was a yelling over each other on skype chat, with a room full of people. man..it was getting uglier by the minute. a dam shouting contest til amanda who was the host of the conference booted me.

not that i was only pissed at carducci, but at amanda as well. because the bitch said " carducci is my friend, and i have a little kid here, yadda yadda blaaah". i told her ass, that carducci doesn't have friends, and she will see one day, and yea of course i called her a triflin twofaced ass kissing bitch. fuck that.

it all started with this sofa, i textured:

i made a copy of it to slide the sofa to the other side of the window. carducci's moody ass thought i took the fuckin sofa, because it was gone from this very spot. i looked all over my dam 10k item inventory - no dam sofa was there. and try to explain some thickheaded fool... that i am NOT interested in his shit, was like talking to a wall. i mean, if i wanted too, i could have made a copy of every dam thing he had in his mansion, since i have mod rights.

but i am not a dam thief, and he knows me long enough to know... that i would never ever take anything from anyone. specially when i have mod rights - i would never ever. well the shouting got ugly, i called him names, amanda was scared or some, because of her kid. ( wtf you gonna have a lil kid next to you while everyone cusses out loud at any given time in a chat?! ) no place for a kid to begin with.

anynhow, after i was out of the skype room, i messaged amanda to tell her what a dam triflin cow she was, and deleted all the carducci friends of my list. i was just thinking, man these fake ass peoples, fuck all of ya!

and then it was carducci... he was next, shouting in caps into his im box, telling him i did not take his GD sofa and yadda yadda, he yelled back that the sofa is in my NAME! the hell i didn't make the dam sofa... i TEXTURED IT. thi all went on for about 20 min. i was furious! no i was beyond mad. so i thought... let me tp back to the dam mansion and see that GD sofa again. and low and behold! the muddascrunchin sofa, made and owned my carducci just sat THERE. boiiiiiiiiii, i im'd carducci and cussed his ass out, telling him that the gd sofa is right here, where he asked. in the dam mansion you office. so i tp'd im............and he looked around... akward silence. and then he went  " lol " !

we have thing where we push each other across the rooms... so he pushed me against a wall, face to face, if there would be a breathing animation... i could have seen him breathing hard. he looked at me, and i was trying to be as calm as possible, trying to look away, but he had me cornered all up against the wall, my heart was beating really really fast, and he said

"my bad, my apologies, i'm sorry"................

 

and then the shoving and pushing continued almost as in a lovemaking mating session. he was as nice as he can possibly be allfor the rest of the night. the guys and girls stayed away from us. it was him and me. and i was still mad. i don't forgive easyly. and went off in a tirade and how i felt that he accused me of such redicilous thing. i think, no i know he realized how wrong he was, and his overreation. words such as 'if i didn't like you.. i wouldn't even talk to you, because i like you - you make me flip like that"... were all over this room, his office. if there would have been some sort of sex bed or some like that, i guess we would have had mad crazy sex right there and then. its a endorphin thing.

we walked downstairs, amanda and crackavelli came out as well and i guess they didn't understood wth was going on. one minute we yell at one another and the next minute, carducci pulls out all these sofas for me to texture and thats how they found us :

i can't explain it, because i don't even know. we sat there like this for a minute or less. and then went back to business to work on things. but my mind wasn't functioning right. i was upset at myself for letting him making me so dam mad. i mean, this guy can trigger me like a bad ass bullet and the next minute we sit on a damn sofa! wtf is that....man i don't know.

all is good now though...lol, yea it is.

he is his ole dam self, the moody " fix my shit" man, but he knows...i will give him a piece of my mind and let him know that. unlike some of his " fans " i speak up. and as most of you philly peoples know... yes i do speak my mind. as seen on several occasions in sl.

more news here in gala land, but i have to get some zzz''s for now.
