Have you ever been asked where your outfit came from? Do you have a style all your own? Have you got an amazing outfit that you're just dying to share? This is your chance.
Toxic Bubblegum Show and Tell
In order to easily show off our unique looks(as well as share sources), we've come up with a fun project.
How It Works
~ Take a snapshot to disk while in your look. (or 2,3, or 4 snaps depending on how much you care to show off). Pg 13 please, because these will be posted online publicly. Don't worry about being perfectly
centered, the images can be cropped down later. But I ask that you please send them in unedited.
~ make a list of everything that you're wearing, as well as the store that each item is from.
~ Tell us a little bit about yourself.
~ What inspired your outfit?
~ Give us the names of your 3 favorite stores
~ Remember to include your Sl Name
By doing all this, and sending the information and images to the email provided at the end, you will be able to get your own style/fashion highlight post.
What's in it for you? You get to have your name and personal look featured on the Toxic Bubblegum Blog. Your image (with little editing) will be shown as well. Plus you will be sharing information with your fellow group members.
The more we know about each others interests and styles, the easier it will be to share information about stores, sales,and hunts. Remember, we are all different but our differences help bring us together.
Multiple entries are welcome and will be shared based upon relevance, time sensitivity and content. Holiday themed images are always welcome as well.
Store owners are also invited to send copies of posters, info about hunts they are in,or info about new items to be featured as well. If the item is time sensitive please include that in the email header
(start date-end date).
The email to send these to is sn.d.dreamscape(AT)gmail(DOT)com. Dyre Dreamscape will occasionally be reachable in world, but by receiving the information out of world it will be easier for her to get it sorted quickly into the blog.
Of course, if you have any blogging experience and would like to do your own blogging, you can send her that information, and she would be happy to add you to our blog as a contributor.
hope to be seeing you all on the blog soon ^_^

Welcome to Toxic Bubblegum
Toxic Bubblegum is all about the cute and colorful side of goth. It's perky goths talking about things that interest them, especially but not exclusively within the goth sub-culture in SL. It's telling others about great sales, and calling lucky letters, mania boards, and mob-vends of group interest, all the while promoting the designers who make our cute-goth avatars not only possible, but gorgeous. It's inviting like-minded people to parties and other events. But mostly, it's about having fun! ♥

If you are a shop owner and believe you would Like to participate, feel free to contact us. Because you never know what you're capable of before you try it. There is a large audience out there looking for ways to express themselves, and your items just might help enable them to do that ^_^
The rules of the Toxic Bubblegum candy & perky-goth bargain-hunters group are very simple.
1. Have fun!
2. Drama happens, but drama for the sake of drama is not cool -- don't be a drama queen. This doesn't *just* mean that the group *isn't* all about you (or even me... just because it's my group and my rules doesn't mean I'm *really* any more important than anyone else)... it also means that insults, isms, political and religious discussions, etc, should have no place in group chat. That said, anyone may talk about pretty much anything, and profanity is not forbidden (we're all adults here, even if we don't act like it), but if you wouldn't talk about something with your parents or your teenage child, you probably shouldn't talk about it in group chat, either, and if a discussion starts to get heated up... take it to IMs.
3. Nobody *has to* call boards/sales, and anyone *can* call boards/sales... just please stick to the theme. And in case you (somehow) missed it, the theme is perky-/candy-/cute-goth. Too cute or colorful is usually tolerable... too dark, maaaybe not (that depends)... and if it's neither cute nor dark, then it's not our thing. Of course, cute skin, eyes, hair, footwear, etc, are *always* on-topic, even if they aren't particularly "goth". Also, unlike some other groups, *anything* in-theme is allowed... this includes tiny avs, neko, whatever. Weapons should be pink, or flowery, or magic wands, or otherwise unrealistic and cute. You get the picture. Oh, and we don't ban for accidental out-of-theme calls, but we do ban for spam. Spam would include excessively long call-posts, call-posts repeated excessively, or call-posts that are so generic and out-of-theme that they are obviously not intended for this group so much as *just* to advertise. What amounts to excessive is up to the discretion of the moderators, but will hopefully be consistent enough to quantify/justify.
3a. We have a "list". This list is a list of known stores that fit our theme. That doesn't mean stores that aren't on the list don't fit our theme, just that we don't know of them, or at least don't know them very well. Also on that list is a list of sponsors. These designers make our group possible, and thus should always be given first priority when you're looking for sales, boards to slap & call, etc.
4. We aren't competing with any other groups. In fact, hopefully we can work with certain other groups, and if not, my next hope is to just stay out of each others' way. If you're into goth but not so much the cute and colorful, try The Thrifty Goth; if you're more into dolls in general than goth-dolls and other dark-cuteness in particular, try the Dolly Dash; etc... and if you're already in those other groups, there's no reason you can't be in this group *too*. ^.^
