Horror Haute is almost coming to a close for the month of February... The Dark Duets are once again being resigned to the darkness and will no doubt haunt that romantic darkness for always. Finally the Valentine Month is coming to a close, The line-up of Horror Haute will close a day later however, February is such a short month and who doesn't love an extra day to find some awesome goodies!
Sometimes you get things from designers and think WHAT THE HECK am I going to do with that?! This was one of those times, because as I unpacked the decorative item "The Hand that Loved" from La Maison des Corbeaux I will admit that I had a MASSIVE blogger block LOL... Then I was thinking, what would I do if someone gave me the hand of someone I love on a stick, that was still wearing their wedding ring!?! I'd cry!!!
This mystical warrior princess has just been handed the mounted hand of the man she loves...
The warrior princess wears the most amazing accessories... The leather tasselled collar and it's matching epaulettes are a release for The Fantasy Collective from May's Soul. They really called to me, as did a LOT of things from this month's line-up of industrial goodies! A halo from [TfAtN] marked out her mystery warrior element, but it was the mask that gave her the true power. The Mask of Poulpe ImmateriA, the part of the warrior units Dark Masquerade ceremonial garb!
The last part of her outfit that you may want to pay attention to, is the amazing necklace from Kunglers Extra. A Beautiful Elenyr Necklace in the Obsidian tone... So intricate, so gorgeous... I may have to get more in other colours!!!

So now it's time to talk colours again... The Color Me Poject has started once again, and boy this time there are a LOT of pretty shoes... Maybe my next post will just be shoes?!
The colour this time is, although I don't tend to wear a lot of it, a fairly useful and easy one to keep a collection of. You never know when this colour will come in handy, and it is, a very hand colour to have for any look! I'm talking about White! White like black is one of those colours that works well with a lot of different colours. This time I'm rocking pastel and white look, next time, who knows it could be monochromes or even electrics!
The White Look that I chose to share today is all because of a dress that I would NEVER in a million years have thought about buying, but actually once I had it on, and had dressed it up, it suited me so well in it's kookiness that I wasn't going to just forget about it!
The dress in question is one for the Color Me Project from Jinx. Called Amelia - a nickname my friends in RL used to give me if I was being a moody cow - it is everything girlie that I would never normally be seen dead in... Frills, pastel butterflies and then white on top of that, I'd normally shy away from a dress like this, but I think in this look it works for me! I teamed it with a pair of sky high platform heel boots, called Kirsten from VG Shoes, and then added some Rudhish style accessories in the form of this HUGE Pastel Wig from Blues adorned with a Hair Rose that comes from the Mag<3.B. Pink My Babe Outfit and a pretty pearl necklace from Odelitte.
The other thing that should have honourable mention is this AWESOME War-Ready ILO Bear from yumyums. Now these were made for the just closed Creepy Kawaii fair, but Iokko has had ILO bears in her collection for almost as long as she has had a store. I still have the mark 1 - i-loo - style from way back when yumyums was known as Sugar. No matter the colour these come in, I LOVE THEM... Always have and always will... These are one of my favourite toys in my SL hoard!!!
OH just a little peek at my Picnic too... I will no doubt have a close-up look at this soon, but for now, tea?

Horror Haute is here again, and this time the theme is kinda close for the theme of the entire month of February... This time we are looking at the Dark Duets - romance within the dark, macabre and sometimes horrific genre that we all love.
NOW before I go on with my post today I want to admit something. Right now I feel like I have been run over by a truck. My hubby - the one that I truly share my life in a Dark Duet with - has actually given me his "man flu" and I am barely hanging on...
There will be more to come but I think for the first time ever in the history that I have been blogging Horror Haute, my look at the offered goodies is more of a fashionista style than anything I could have done otherwise... I actually quite enjoyed doing it this way, I blame it on the set of poses that are available but I will talk about those in more detail later... For now, enjoy my Horror Haute fashion run down hehe...
From left to right we go then, and onto talking about my first look of four...
This Dark Duet based outfit has a touch of the Romeo and Juliet... A classic Dark Duet from the great Mr William Shakespeare... This cute cami from Seddy's Creations with it's R&J icon print on the front is actually super cute... From the back - a view I didn't share I'm sorry - the straps come together and down the back attached to the shirt with a heart!! I added some Non-Horror Haute, but still worth getting your hands on, vinyl abstract leggings from [ abrasive ] and a little Cute Poison Spooky necklace, but then to complete the first of four fashionish looks I added the cute, but in true Horror Haute interesting looking Tasty Pudding Mina High Heels!!!
My second outfit was a little simpler... Based on Miss Firefly - though I will be honest I am not entirely sure where that comes from or what it is - this outfit is the female look from SongBird for the Dark Duet theme. As you may well have guessed there is a Mr Firefly version too!!! I decided to add just a touch more blood, using a pretty kit from Ama. and as a finishing touch a little nod to my girlie side with a Lost Junction collar I bought recently in bright electric colours called Berlioz.
Next comes what is possibly my most fantasy style outfit for this round... That being said there may be more to come but for now let's say this is my most fantasy based look... It features two very gorgeous Horror Haute items!! The dress is part of a Dark Duet - one of my favourites in fact - from a little movie called The Corpse Bride. Based on the style of Miss Victoria Everglot, the Crushed Violets dress would look awesome when teamed with someone wearing the Victor Vandoort male outfit!! As I didn't have a Victor, I decided to dress things up a little, adding the ImmateriA Dark Masquerade Poulpe Cloak and Collar, though there is more to come from this outfit later LOL, I think! Then for just a little touch of flair, I pulled on a bracer from an Axix set - which you can find at The Fantasy Collective - and a tiara that was a past Witching Hour release from [TfAtN].
Lastly and by no means least, the relaxed "going to work" look lol... This started all because of the Stargazer Creations release... The Bates Motel Staff shirt was something that I couldn't ignore... I was going to wear it no matter what LOL... So I made it a comfortable work uniform, adding a pair of rather clean and girlie jeans from Soul Designs, and some cute accessories too!!!
Before I wrap up this post though there is just one more thing that needs an honourable mention... Dimma Poses! These awesome poses, which I used to creation my fashion catalogue today, are available as a set. The Poor Yorick Pose Set, is available with all the other Horror Hautey things this month... DON'T MISS OUT ON ANY OF THEM hehe!!!

So many awesome events have just started up again in SL - those bi-weeklies and soon the new round of monthlies will join them - I have been like a kid in a candy store and have spent a lot of monies LOL...
Some of my favourite events are the Macabre ones, as you might well have guessed... I am addicted to the Suicide Dollz and this new CarnEvil event seems pretty cool too - not to mention Horror Haute, which I will be drenching you with very soon hehe - I can never resist taking time from the busy MC life to head over and grab a handful of the pretties from these events...
Sometimes I even stop to play a while! I was in a very Circus Freak style mood today, and the outfit that I was wearing seemed PERFECT for the part! The sun was setting over the CarnEvil Circus... The music was beginning to play, and the freak show acts were getting ready... Now, it's just time for me to take my place!
The outfit itself looks like a jumpsuit, but it is in fact a top and shirt combination from [ abrasive ] - that you can grab yourself at Suicide Dollz for just a little longer - the shorts come in a variety of different colours and the top is just CUTE - perfect for a Living Dead Dolly if you ask me!
As per usual though it was the Accessories that I went to town on...
Let's start at the CarnEvil seeing as I used it for a place to pose! I found some new awesome knee wounds from A*S, as well as the amazingly cute Spooky Necklace from Cute Poison. I strapped my legs in two different ways, the right one being an awesome tattoo from PerveTTe - which is available now at Cosmopolitan - and the left being a MUKA Burlesque Bow that I bought at a Burlesque themed event recently. I wore a collar and cuffs from yumyums too... These are ADORABLE! Perfect for any cute little pet you might have or want in the future! Trust me I've already had one Dom say to me "Oh you look good in a collar" LOL! Still more jewellery to come though, hold your horses LOL... I found a ring set that I'd just bought at Cosmopolitan from the store 9ty, a pretty boho set, that although wasn't a perfect match for the rest of my jewellery, picked out some of the colours of my insides that you can see through the corset zipper, and matched well with the tiny gemstone heart of my ANE Bony Heart Necklace - from the latest round of Kustom9. For a better look at all of my jewellery accessories, I've included a separate look-see photo below...
If that wasn't enough new and awesome stuff, I also fell in love with the new Dulce hair by Truth, with it's pretty pulled back style and soft long curls... PERFECT for the spring, don't you think?
What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Dulce in Reds

My house in SL is my Haven... I close the doors on anything MC related, or work in any way shape or form related in fact, and play around like a crazed hippy child lol... You may have seen my house in past photos, but I will always tell you that I keep it more as a children's play house - full of cute fluffy things, girlie knick-knacks and always find myself laughing when people visit for the first time and think "Woah wasn't expecting that!"
But recently, at an event with a special play theme - the adult kind I must point out - I found myself drawn to some rather different toys. VERY different toys in fact!!! The event I am talking about is was the FRESH Fair... It was full of wonderful delights for the more adult playtimes...
Just a warning before you look at the picture... My butt is on show LOL....
Aren't you lucky, not just one Rudh butt, but THREE!!!
I was shopping at the event, meandering around by myself looking at all of the booths, when I randomly spotted the Noodles Booth. Noodles is normally stuffed full of all things that are adorable... A queen of Disney-esque couture, Natalee Oodles always creates fun and high quality must haves - for my personal taste anyway - but I was intrigued as to what Noodles was doing in a kinky themed event! Looking closer it didn't take long to work out LOL... Special toys... Plug shaped toys with cute little animal tails!!! I HAD TO HAVE SOME!! I mean I never play in a kinky way anymore - HellBone and I are together in RL, and he is one of those very rare SL Virgins! - but still they were something I couldn't leave the fair without!
The real reason that I went into the fair was for something a little more macabre... You should all know by now that I am a living dead dolly in SL right?! I LOVE being wounded and broken, and don't think that I could pull off being a normal human avatar anymore - I get the feeling that I might find it a little boring. Anyway, I had spotted these awesome Whipped Ass and Thigh Marks from Ama and I needed to have them... I'd been looking for the perfect wound for my upper thigh for a while and, although compared to some of my other wounds, they are subtle, and will work perfectly with other scars that I may have running up the back of my legs from time to time!
The last thing I spotted as I was about to tp away from this event were the hand prinst from The {Wicked} Peach. This was an impulse buy, proving that these sales are great places to find new stores that you will have to check out. The {Wicked} Peach seems to be a store specialising in make-ups and girlie stuff but I think that in a few days I will be going exploring just a little!!!
What is she wearing;
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)

This expression says a lot for me right now... It's one of those feelings that seems to have almost buried me somewhat... I know that sounds more than a little dramatic but there has been a lot going on in Rudhland over the last few weeks, and you're lucky that I'm not only posing for pictures looking a little dead as I have been known to before!
I was feeling about a million miles away from romanctic thoughts this month and need to take a break from all the rainbow cuteness that the month of February seems to bring... I hope you don't mind!
The slogan brandished all over my nungas in this look I randomly pulled together, really sums up my state of mind. Drama seems to follow me around since the beginning of the year, when am I going to get a break?
I don't know what it is about SL, but I always seem to find myself with people taking advantage, or with people assuming whatever is not true. The latest of this being the case. For now I'm laughing about it. Anyone who knows me will know that it's not true, but a word of warning to the wise... SL Charity Events, no matter how much they are done out of a pure heart will ALWAYS find someone who likes to spoil things, make you feel like a huge pile of crap and assume it's just a way to make a quick buck...
Still enough of the ranting... I'm done with worrying about the petty drama of people who should know better!
This top is one of my ABSOLUTE Favourites... I got back to it time and time again, and trust me that is a little bit of a rarity in my closet! It's from the store Blossom, that is unfortunately closed and I cannot find the top available anywhere to buy. Friends have asked in the past but it just seems to have GONE!
The rest of the look was just set dressing really, I mean I bought these amazing shoes from Remarkable Oblivion, and this awesome pose prop from NanTra called Shut Up and Drive, both of which came from long since past sales events, and are now back happily at their origin stores. I'm sorry it took me so long to get these things displayed, I've had the picture ready FOREVER lol...
I hope you can forgive me for taking so long LOL, life got in the way - as well as what seemed like a million other event posts that needed doing - but I still love this picture and wanted to share it with you!!

In the past I used to be one of those people that was more than a little shy of sharing my photos... Anything I had taken always made me feel like it was never good enough and I found myself comparing my creations with those of others - a bad habit to have gotten into I KNOW but it happened none the less - so when it came to me wanting a new profile picture, I would never have used one of my own works! Though I had a change of heart, I found a confidence in myself that I never knew I had and now I feel more along the lines of, "if you don't like it, don't look at it, because I love it"...
Now whenever I want a profile photo, I take one LOL... This is one of those times, and I will say I LOVE this photo hehe...
This look came about all because of a pair of glasses LOL... Normally in SL I don't tend to find myself being drawn to glasses of any kind. I wear them everyday in my RL, and so in SL I just tend not to get excited about them. People tell me I should try contacts but I prefer the look of my RL face in glasses - plus the thought of sticking my finger in my eye is UGH!! Saying all that though, I was shopping at the new Fashion Fair Event, and I spotted these adorabley huge glasses in the store DAZED! I get that they are a little Harry Potter-esque, and that overall look of the photo is not helped to move away from the wizard's feel by the fact that I too have a scar on my forehead lol...
The forehead mark is something that is a little darker from Stargazer Creations. I am reliably informed by Aggie, that these marks, along with the gorgeous lipstick that I'm also wearing, is the darkest that she gets! You can get both of these cute make-up items from Genre this month, in varying colours, but I will warn you now the theme this month is the Dark Arts... Don't get caught messing around in these if you are the real Harry Potter LOL...
Sometimes I even surprise myself with just how cute I can look hehe...
