someone go and make ps easier to use. this is 2007!
and there is no need for graphic programs to be so complicated, to the point where some people even take exepnsive community college classes, to figure this blending/ alpha/ handraw bla bla shits out.
make that shit easier!
i've studied art in rl, and graduated with a bachelors degree many moons ago. but i tell you what, we had no dam fancy progs, we did everything by hand. drawing and sculpting, collages, even graphic design. and the "in thing" to do was stupid airbrush. i remember many days i had the airbrush paints all over my hair and clothes and looked like a walking piece of art on my way home in the "Strassenbahn".
some people had the nerve to suggest i should bring my rl art into sl........NOT!
everyone steals from everyone and i'll be damned if my art lands on some creditfarmers freebie box, ok mr lee?
so, sl is becoming a struggle just like rl. you try to make some cool... boom - next minute, someone outdo's you, by stealing your ideas and make it better then yours. i see this everywhere in sl.
yea man, i love to explore, and how many times have we seen people trying to create a sim or area like " Loch Newchurch's Missing Milestone ". she to me is still the mastress of all the creations, including "Arcadia Asylum".
her art is seen all over sl, her barrels, boxes, crates, dumptrucks, taxi's, little but kickass signs that speak for itself and we all adore. i almost tend to believe that " stroker serpentine " ( the sexgen bed/ mattress maker ),his nasty dirty awesome sex matress that can be bought for 1000L's at his Eros Sim, may was a extended idea from Arcadia's filthy matress's
but i am not gonna say " i am sure he did...", because i don't know for sure. but i suppose we all do copy some ideas from one and make something we think is more original, but yet in the back of our minds, we know... hell i didn't had the orginal idea...so n' so had it.
i am at fault too, in a way. when i've created " section 8", i wanted something more real looking in sl, and the feedback was overwhelming. i had tenants that had been in sl since 2005... moving into my lil dirty lofts. and that was a huge compliment to me, that someone so " old " would move into my hood.
nevertheless, i am very very happy that " Alexander Burgess and Mygdala March ", took over where i left off and make Philly even more better, with the amazing help and cityplanner and running candidate for 2008 of " Romana Wei ", who was my mentor when it came to building and lay'outing and understanding the alligning of block to blocks.
if it wouldn't had been for her (Romana Wei), i probably stil would still dabble in being a frustrated club host working for 30L/hour. or perhaps shot everyone in the progress of being the always upbeat annoying hostess. well no wait... i was a kickass hostess, another sl woman showed me the real robes by the name of " Alicia Mounier ". she hired me to work at the club called " Catacombs ", and i finally made some money, hosting events for 500L's/ 2 hours.
anyhow, these days are so over now.
i am trying and not being to good at it, to make clothes.
one of the hardest things to do in sl. really i have so much more respect for designers who actually make their own shit, have their own ideas on what would look good on our AV's.
now don't get me wrong..*grins*, i have all the ideas in the world, but the actual making of it. to sit on a piece of camisole or shirt for 2 hours in ps and then sell it for hmm 40L's, if that much, seems to be nothing, compared to the work someone puts into these fashion items.
i guess you have to love the actual creation more then the fact of making tons of money of it and become another " anshe chung". which may never happen by only making fashion.
now there are good and big artists in sl, but as i told a friend in sl the other day... sl changes, times changes, rl changes. people that come into the world are not as naive and stupid anymore . ( well ok ok... maybe 20% of them are actually worth some ).
people want good shit and want it now and want it the least expensive. it is the fast lane world we live in. rl or sl... if i want some in sl and i can't find it - it frustrates me. for instance... aprons! i've not seen any kinds of homley looking, dirty cooking aprons with old retro textures, dirty spots on them and so on. most things, even nurses items are all in the "costume shops" and has a sexual naughty effect to it. just like some sleezy b - porn, where men can live and wank off their fantasies of a naughty nurse.
i really don't know whats sexy about a nurse. really i don't. ( from a woman's point of view, that is )
- - -
anyhow, back to me, gala me.
i want to make clothes, kickass tops and camis, tee's, but so far i am only down to ren and stimpy, art is Olive, and a banana that says Shuddup, family guy and three pair of jeans made off the LL template which sucks ass.
i want lowrise jeans! someone give me a lowrise jeans template and a dirty tanktop template or the alpha texture, yea gimme a alpha texture, so i can make some out if it. damit.
consider it as a donation to the gala? yes?
i am such an artist!
but i am working on it.
that's why i am not advertizing much of the shop yet, because i am almost embarassed about the sillyness i have for sale there. but now one thing is for sure, my tee's are perfect, no dam missing alphas, no dam silly outlines - they are perfect. now if i would only know how to make them more old looking... the faded worn shirt look. because mine look freakin " tide clean ". i want DIRT!
ok rant over, donate to me and make me a happy gala. i want to taste the rainbow too.
the end,

i've ment to write about the women of sl on here a while ago. the strong, weak, good and bad bitches. i have been on sl going on a year in july and i've ran into all sorts of females, shemales, and what not.
98% were everyday faces, nothing that would stick with me longer then 5 min of sl time, if that much.
i used to be a hostess for two clubs in sl. learned the helluva lot about human behaviour in a virtual reality.
as for females. its somewhat like i feel about them in rl. most of them are dmb ass bitches galore. i have so nothing in common with these chics who pretend to a barbie in a barbie's world and post endless pics in their profile picks and retarded quotations about their adopted sl family. the whole dam family tree!
anyhow, what i wanted to say about women... its came to my mind last night while hanging with mygdala and romana in philly's tattletales. i invited one of my oldest friends to the club " alicia"! i luv that girl, she is one dam creative, two kickass looking by not looking stupid, and last but not least one smart ass cookie. i remember days i sat there and juts uuhh'd and ahh'd at her creations. alicia can make about anything, incl kicking flesh piercing, shirts, houses, hosting, building. but thats all aside the point. what i really dig and like about women like alicia is her strength and attitude, the IDGAF, the whatver attitude. this friendship has lasted for so long, i was pretty much a noob cake in my retarded passport skin when i met alicia and she liked my attitude and hired me to become a hostess packing 500L/2hrs. it was so good to see her last night.
there is romana, my mentor, my - wake - up - gala- you - can - do - it friend. i adore romana, who showed me any and everything along the way on how to build. she is so dam kickass, she can be the all sexy vixen and then next all hardcore business and at the same moment making 4 colored icecubes in rl to go with her drink. romana loves about everyone. i never heard her saying.. i don't like that bitch, or actually ever heard her cursing? nah i don't think she ever did used a cussword. romana and me we can all about building and putting our minds together for any projects that just pop into our minds and then fool off by having virtual pet puppys that we adore and play with like they really do exist.
one thing hit me tho last night. i am sometimes so dam self absorbed and insensitive to other peoples needs or worries. ( yes i really am.. ) last night, romana mentioned that she had no one asking her out, or going on a date with her in sl!?! in sl... and romana dateless??! oh hell no.
romana loves sex and companionship and i did a quick thinking to make romana better then she already is, with some pixelized add ons. meaning lets go SHOPPING! romana admitted she had been wearing the same ole stuff for a month. because all she did was - worked her ass off on helping others and creating a huge part of philly, helping anyone wherever she can -and she has not done anything for herself - her sl soul. so we went shopping!
i asked romana " how much can you spend, where she replied " 1 millll lindens! ". oh it was on! we went to "wrong", and got the cutests little outfits, which look so freaking amazing on her! i mean she is was glowing inside and out. just like we do in rl when we treat our souls with some retail therapy.
she needed good kickers, and i just couldn't see romana in some neko platons. no that woman needs some heels! sable, one of my tenants. ( who is a lil shy when she doesn't know someone, but a sweetheart once you get to know her a lil better)
sable is known in philly to be one of the best dressed woman there, and not in a show off - look what i have - attitude. she is very quiet but everytime i see her - it feels like this is a sl red carpet and she just shines with her amazing taste in clothes and the overall ways she carries herself. sooo.. sable had these kickers on that made me so oooh and aaaah. totally sexy boots with lots of metal on it, silver spikes, high heels that left me googoo eying. romana came along and joined in the chat and said the same thing to sable " i love your boots "! i asked her prior to that where she's gotten these from and she told me from "hearts desire" - freakin a kickery shoe shop.
romana was pretty much done by getting herself all these clothes, she spend a good dime at "wrong" incl miniskirt, pink latex pants and tops, fishnets, bracers - woaaa! but needed boots.. and i was so set on seeing romana in these heels, sable had on. so we went to hearts desire and boooooooy romana went crazy shopping. i am not sure how many boots she bought, but there was a helluva lot of clicking going on. then mind you, she said ' ok gala we have to get your boots', because i was already im'ng myg and wanted to show her the new and amazing romana. myg was pretty exited saying.."yess bring here over - we are at johnny's deli ". so but well.. romana insisted on buying boots for me. she asked me which one i liked... man... lol- i swear i am not into girl and girl dress alike thing - but these boots were just to dam sexy! and i starred... romana said" the black ones right'?... "yes i said", and a sec later i had these boots in my inventory! i about lost my dam mind... those boots are sooooooooooo sexy and soooooooooo 350L!romana didn't care tho.. she loves making people feel good.. in any possible way. and my i walked my new boots and silently singing " these boots are made for walking " (no not the jessica simpson version - naaaw the OG one by nancy sinatra!) here are some pics the before and after romana! ( oh btw..she got a cool ass AO as well... man she looks soo sooo beautiful! )
and after our shopping trip - voila!
dude she kicks so ass! what a beautiful and talented woman! hands down!
and there is mygdala! my newest friend in sl! this woman is in many way so much like me, its scary. we crack up on the same things ( regarding the lovely nut "ourialove") among so many other things. she is smart as hell and has one razorsharp humour that just slaps you right into your face ( read her blog on here and you know will either get it or not ). what i really really like about myg is her writing, her mind, her strongness mixed with emotional outbursts, her patience with people, tact, whackyness and everything else that makes the perfect woman!
yet there are some things i don't understand about myg. as it can be read in her blog. her and alex are a rl couple in a commited relationship and they both play their fantasies out on sl. which is think is freakin cool - but i don't think i could that. i would be to dam jelous- having my man sitting there, possibly aroused and banging rp'ng with some chic. but it works for myg and alex just wonderful. this is something that i truly admire. you must be beyond the point of jealousy and the mine mine mine attitude to tolerate this virtual game play. its so foreign to me that she can do that- and i like things that i can't really figure out, because its beyond my thinking capacity. its makes myg so much more interesting. she has an virtual aura around her that seems like total kick ass chic combined with a always ready to do some crazy stuff ( like making her self 10 ft tall, next to you, hah! ) but also some sensitivity i feel that is somewhere deep inside her.
myg is all woman - she fusses, cusses, is dropdead beautiful and still very mysterious to me. but whenever myg signs on to sl or writes here.. i feel like she is letting me somehow into her world, mixed with some underlaying rl emotions that you will only get - when you really read her.
i sometimes try to look beyond her av eyes and look at the world from her perspective. and its a cool ass trip.

i ment to write some a few days ago. well it didn't happen. i was either busy adoring "ease" and his creations.looking at his amazing la revolucion graffitti. that man has talents... among other things.
a few days ago, he showed me his upcoming shop and we talked about the realness about handmade textures. he showed me a thing or two in building as well. do i feel stupid or what? i mean i made fuckin northern philly but i didnt knew how to make a hallow box. dooh!
we were in a total spanish district / sim... i understood shit, but learned per ease's opinion about the difference between the euro spainards and the latinos in south america, including brazil ( portugese ). ease asked me if i wanted to check out the ' la isla' and i did. we landed in some club there and i pulled my latino papi right up to the dance floor and slowdanced.....
i had to crop the image because the dance balls were not set up right and it looked ease was all through my body with his manly muscles. yummm...
ohhh and today! haha fuckin A! ben.. myg's man/ lover/ boytoy, we started a cool chat in philly. speaking german. it was a little hard for me to type in correct german, plus i speak a bavarian german so he had to deal with my bayrisch, which cracked him up. mannn, he showed me some places, the dictator shop where i bought a 1L demo whip! weewooo! then i lost my mind in the shop and everyone that came in there with their slave trolls got whipped by me, from doms to mistress's... i slapped em all. ben, im'd me and said " i am not surprised you got banned from the " crack den", hah! crack den is some uber lame place with a bunch of emo's doing nothing... but being fuckin emo!
when things really get on my nerves, i ust have to start shooting or annoy the living shit out of people. yes miss gala the land bish is not so nice after all. well when i am not in bis mode that is.
but even biz mode, i don't like these normal fucks, don't even want them to move to philly. naaah, you gotta have something for me to be allowed in my ' inner circle'.
anyhow, ben showed me some place, where to get some cool ass shit for johnny- a av meatgrinder! johnny is so going to love that shit. i tested it - its good.
here is one of them.. only testing it k'?
i love this dumb ass look on my face baahaa! anyhow was fun.
good news!!! the lofts are all filled up again! yessssssssss! johnny rich guy, rented a 2nd loft for his " meat deli"..i named the loft ' Skosh's Deli '! i think he will love it.
another tenant moved in, in the front loft, a real sweet girl, her name is ' katone'. i've met her the other day with starr, who is johnny's friend. and she messaged me out of the blue and rented that lil spot. happy happy joy joy :)

she said: "gala, read my blog - you're in it too "!
so, while taking a deserved SL break ( if you don't know what SL is... fuck you man, i am not going to explain shit ).
i've read up on mygdala's very entertaining blog up on here (even tho she is so in love with herself), copycatting, i decided to make a virtual blog as well.
i am not sure if i will keep up as she does. because i have other blogs which require my main attention. a blog where i talk about the real world, the real shits.
whatever. i am gonna give it a shot, and tag down my sl life on here. and there is lots to tell. especially as of lately. things are just so happening, it's almost unreal.
a few things you must know...
- i never write in proper english, grammar wise, i don't use Captializziion, all lower letters here baby
- i will never tell you to much about my rl i am just funny like that.
- i will tell you that i have 5 cats, and yes that i am really really a female which has been a gamer chic for years, that i have a smile on my face when i kill someone ( in a game...), that i am a sarcastic cow who just doesn't give a shit about you and you and them.
- i will tell you where i am from, but you still wont know who i am, because graphical locations are just that- locations, my ethnic background.. yea i talk about that too, because i like to talk about being a mutt,
- that i created north philadelphia in sl and have never been anywhere near up north, but i live in the hood so i suppose it comes naturally.
i am braindead now.. to much typing.

gala~
