New Beginnings

I don’t change much….. I’m pretty resolute on most things in my life and i’m STUBBORN as hell with my avatar! But i’ve finally had a revamp…. a year since the last one!

Grunge

I’ve finally moved on from my Beloved Jessica skin from My Dear – I love it and will probably chop and change into others but I demo’d Isla from League and it just works with my shape perfectly. I only really mention it because I try to credit everything in my blog posts but I tend to ignore crediting my skin because I never change it – so HENCEFORTH that’s League. LOL.

I just took this shot because I love my outfit. I made the dress…. it can be worn as a dress or a long top and it’s just so relaxed and floaty, very much my RL style. I’m also obsessed with this hair from Exile with their amazing new colour huds, and loving my Ikon eyes.

Hair : Exile “Desperately Wanting”
Dress : Demise of Flight “Jerrah Shirt-Dress” in Crimson
Watch : Glow Studio “Boyfriends Watch”
Necklaces : Maxi Gossamer “Heart Key Pendants”

Hello All,

I’ve been such a busy bee inworld making new things for my store, and realise I have to come to a finite decision about what the purpose of this blog is – my store vs blogging fashion. From here on i’m going to stick to a FASHION BLOG format – not a store blog. I just don’t think it’s necessary! I’ll be uploading pics of my new releases to my Flickr Stream and the Demise of Flight facebook wall and encourage ya’ll to follow Demise of Flight on facebook (and add me as a friend – Nikki Demarazi) and to your photo streams on Flickr, however this blog was created for blogging, which it will primarily be from here on.

I will often times wear things I created, which I will blog as I would anything else by adding to my Avi’s overall style, and crediting my store along with any other’s I use. It shouldn’t be seen as bias – I love what I make, so I do wear it! I also love clothing, accessories and poses by other designers so i’ll keep using them too.

Now to the fashion!

My 10 SL Firsts Meme

Ah Berry – you’ve done it again. I’m loving Strawberry Singh’s meme posts – it’s so interesting to find out more about bloggers than just where they’re shopping. So following suit – here are 10 questions, answered by me about my FIRSTS in second life….

Nik 3yrs

1. First SL Friend: I met two greats girls on the side of Help Island in my first week on SL – Kjenn and Kay and remain great friends with both. The first person I freinded was a RL friend who introduced me to SL, Xenajet Antiesse.

2. First SL Kiss: Some noob. I have no idea. The first boy who talked me into getting on a pose-ball to dance or whatever.

3. First SLex time/place/partner: It was my first week in SL and I thought I was super hot with my crazy-out of proportion shape and freebie underwear – I TP’ed to some sex-garden (RL I was at work with my RL colleage sitting beside me laughing) and I jumped on a poseball with some random guy and laughed my freaking head off. I’ve NEVER found SLex sexy – I think it’s hilarious. Here’s a few pic’s including me standing around in lingerie – that was RIGHT before the deed! lmao.
Firsts Meme

4. First SL Partner/Girlfriend/Boyfriend/Wife/Husband: I won’t name names – the first dude I was “girlfriend of” was this canadian dude I met on Help Island. He was a sweetheart and I basically lied throughout the whole thing – the penny dropped soon after that his feelings were real and mine weren’t truthful and I learnt then and there that  playing with peoples emotions in SL isn’t a game. I felt shit for leading him on and tried to cover my ass and end it amicably but it blew up in my face. I tried to reach out to apologise like a year later and he was still mega-butthurt and abused the shit outta me so meh….. I tried :P Then I dated a string of loser-pixel-bikers who were basically SL thugs who thought they were cool and strung me a whole lot of shit I believed at the time (ain’t that how it always goes!) , and then I unexpectedly met Christafari – our first date was to a pony-girl-bondage farm, and we’ve lived together in real life for 18months now. Here’s our first date!

5. First SL Job: KJ and I started a party planning business – we basically just TPed all our Help Island friends to our land and got a half-ass DJ to stream shitty remixes – lol. But we thought we were badass. I then hosted at an Aussie Pub for like a year until I got bored of that, and then I DJ’ed a couple of times (Real DJing…. mixing not just playing downloads through SAM – don’t get me started on how that is NOT Djing!) Eventually I started making poses and clothing and now Demise of Flight is a flourishing lil store.

6. First SL Creation: I made a pulpit for this broke-down lil’ church I had on my parcel of land. I was so proud :P Pic above!

7. First Encounter with a Linden: umm… I honestly don’t recall – I know i’ve spoken to a few. I’m friends with an ex-Linden so the whole “Linden” thing doesn’t really impress me.

8. First Encounter with a SLebrity:  Honestly I dunno – I guess a couple of my friends are “Slebrity’s” just due to being so well known with their blogs or stores, but I don’t pay too much mind to it. I did fan-girl it out when Strawberry Singh commented on my last Meme post (like a total dork) cause i’ve been reading her blog since I was a noob.

9. First SL Sim you fell in love with:  I was a Help Island regular for a while, but in terms of “falling in love” I adored the Garden of Dreams sims and spent as much time as I could just flying around there.

10. First SL Blog Post: http://demarazi.com/2012/07/02/hello-world/ Almost a year ago i decided to start blogging to justify my shopping addiction – nothing too embarrassing but i’ve definately evolved :)

So there it is….. A little (more) about where i’ve been!

Rocker

I’ve found a few new favourites to share with you all, so put em’ together for this slightly edgy look (compared to my usual girlish-glee!)

Firstly I’ve delved out of my usual for this cute Tortile Peircing from Sour Pickles – I love it cause it come’s with a colour hud so you can tint it any colour you want – perfect for indecisive folk like me! These new Carrie heels from Redgrave are to die for, and include a hud with 12 colour options, and I found the skin-tone really easy to match – I don’t think i’ll be taking these off for a while. I also dropped into R.icielli yesterday to discover they have an amazing easter hunt up – each easter egg is $15L and this shirt was one of the finds! I’m actually planning on taking my alt’s over there to pick up a whole new wardrobe of options on the cheap!

So there’s a whole lotta new! I have to post more often to justify all my spending XD Happy shopping!

Nikki wears :
Skin : Glam Affair “Roza” (past TDR special)
Hair : Exile  ”One and Only”
Nose Ring : Sour Pickles “Tortile”
Arm Tattoo : Little Pricks “Beautiful Flowers”
Hip Tattoo : Demise of Flight “Swallow it down”
