A Visit to the Nurse for Halloween

This is Halloween, This is Halloween... Aren't you scared? Well that's just fine... I've not been scared on Halloween since I was little, though that may change as I believe I MAY be forced to watch a Horror Movie tonight... I may look like I like all things dark and scary, but in reality I'm a pretty huge wuss LOL.... 
As with every year though, I've had fun playing with multiple different Halloween costumes, some more crazy, others less so, but I LOVE playing dress up and just because tonight is Halloween don't expect that to stop any time soon... I've been all kinds of different monsters, but there has beenone missing, a dark, dangerous and deadly nurse... Welcome to the Asylum, it's time for our treats... 

Nurse Deadheart stalks through the halls of the Asylum ready to hand out some delicious drug treats for the patients locked in their rooms... It keeps them quiet and allows them to forget the monsters that roam the halls during this Hallow Night... 
Dressed in a uniform - from everfaery at Access until November 8th - although she's worn one of her own favourite tops since the uniform had gotten a little bloody - a top from Normandy called Drown in an Occult pattern -  she's on her rounds and has a bag full of needles to share with the patients that she has to silence... Anything to calm things down so she can have a Happy Halloween...

No Entry Tonight

It's slmost here, Halloween Eve, and the monsters are gathering en mass to celerate the night away tomorrow... I've been looking forward to Halloween for weeks, but now that it's finally here I have to admit that I'm not actually totally in the mood for it... I kinda want it to just go away... I want the monsters to go away, and I've never actually felt like this about Halloween... 

I'm fighting off the monsters today... Perhaps I will be able to welcome them in tomorrow but right now... NO THANK YOU, NO ENTRY into this house... Teddy and I have been through enough, my poor teddy looks more like an Undead Ted - from TOMASU, available until November 8th at ACCESS - and whilst I am feeling battered and brusied, I look better than him, even though I am covered from head to toe in blood... 
We stood together and faced down the Attack on the Lobby - which is actually a backdrop from TROPIX - I got soaked in blood, but don't worry most of it's not mine, except for the obvious knife in my chest that I'm trying to ignore as I continue to fight to keep the mosters in the lift and away from the lobby...

Toxic Goo in the Forest!

Honestly I have been so busy today that I was debating with myself about 'did I have enough energy?' to figure out something that I wanted to dress in, photograph and talk about... 
I think that this time, I could find just that ounce of energy to discuss a Halloween look today, because I have been waiting to play around with a look like this, and it came together so well... 
SLIME!!! Oozes and drips and great big mahoosive globs of slime... The green gooey kind that's a little toxic... 

I used to love the movie Fern Gully, with Tim Curry voicing the evil and toxic Hexxus that was trying to destroy the forest using man's machines... Now I could never do a legend like Tim Curry justice, even when he's only a voice of a character so I've decided that I'm more like his evil toxic cousin, Noxious... I'm a green toxic waste kinda slime, and I'm left in the places where people dump their rubbish illegally... I radiate and sparkle in a neon green, and I assist in the mutation and degeneration of the beings that live there...
Noxious is green, she glows green and is dripping in Slime, from her Slimey Bikini - available until November 18th at the Warehouse Event from V/.VoluptasVirtualis - and the hair dribbling out of her head as some Paesia Gooey Hair - which I randomly saw on a photo on Flickr although I cannot remember where...

Kitty Cats in Fancy Dress

 It's Halloween Weekend, and since the big day falls on a Tuesday, there has to be a special chance for the kids and cuties to head out to do a little Trick or Treating and so tonight I've been roped into taking some adorable little cuties out for a stroll and who knows maybe I'll be allowed a few pieces of their candy... 

I took the Kitty Cats in their adorable little furry costumes - sets of Kitty Cats are available from Aardvark at Uber -  for a Trick or Treating walk, and we ended up at the adorable Phantom Manor - a backdrop from SYNNERGY.TAVIS - where they seem to have been able to fill up our Loser Candy Bucket - from Junk Food, available until November 12th at N21- with all different kinds of Candy...

Dark Birds of Halloween

We're getting closer toHalloween and things are getting darker and the spirits are getting more and more restless, they want the festivites to start. They want the festivities to start and they want doors to the spirit world to get closer so that they can release the beasts into the night... 
The Raven's need to have a chance to go out to dance... 

In the darkening of the day, when the twilight starts to fall and the animals start to head to their beds, there are still those in need of food and drink and merriment... The dark and mysterious Lady Crow - an outfit including the tattoo, mask and dress from Fantasy Forest Store - has stepped out of the party within the darkend  halls of the Last Hope Harbour - a backdrop from K&S - to ensure that her carrion bird pets are able to find something for dinner... It was so lucky that one of the locals had used the courtyard as a dumping ground for their murder disposals...

The Magic of the Cards

 It was so quiet at work today that I left early. It was SO quiet that it was weirdly quiet, and yes we expect  quiet period at this time of year, but it was INSANE... Like a strange magic spell has been cast over everything, and since it's raining people are just away in hiding...
Rudh decided to get home and check the cards for their magic, letting the light sparkle from her to the cards, which could only be read after the spirits had shuffled them well... 

It's the simplest of magic, the kind that even the most novice of witches should be able to conjour up with ease.. Every witch has their own colour depending on the magic they practice and their personality, and Rudh's happens to be green as she's calm, friendly and down-to-earth... He boyfriend Frank, that she keeps as a headless Frank - thanks to a decor prop from Krescendo called Franky Faces at Satan Inc until November 1st - under a glass cloche when she's working her magic because he has a tendency to be a bit skeptical... Which is funny considering he's a head in a jar... 
Anyway, once her magic began to sparkle nothing else but the cards mattered, the Occult Cards - from Tardfish in a Necromancer design - in her hand started swirling through the air as they began to slowly give her the information that she required for the day ahead tomorrow...

Rule the School

These days I seem to spend a lot of time on my own in SL... I don't really seem to have that many people I want to be around anymore, and since the days of the Gators MC when the world seemed like one drama after another, I'm not sure I'm in a happy place all of the time. My besties and I find it hard to see each other and sometimes I wish I was brave enough to wander through SL and meet more people. I'm even too shy to fan girl at people that I enjoy the pictures of when I bump into them at shopping events... Life has gotten very quiet for me in SL... I think that may also be a reason why I'm finding it harder and harder to get into the Halloween spirit and play dress up this year.. All of my "costumes" are just Rudh outfits with a twist LOL... Today it's Monster High with a Rudh Twist as I'm hanging with my ghouls at School... 

Once the original monster High Divas have moved on from the school, the new class takes over and as with the Pink Ladies of Grease, the role of the cool kids is passed from one core group to the next... Rudh and her Ghouls have that status... Rudh is a random Monster, Penelope a daughter of a Pennywise clown, Pippa the child of the demons in the box and Cornelia whose father is a freak of the andy variety - all of the dolls are past releases from Garbaggio - rule the school... 
Rudh is a monster of indisclosed heritage, but no one in the school would dare refuse her place as the top girl... She dressed in a Spooky Dress - from NeverWish - and mis-matched Spooky Sleeves and Socks - which are available separately from Quills & Curiosities at Trick or Treat Lane until October 31st - and although she accessorised with some cute things, she'd be willing to admit that it would be hard to choose between the Wickedly Cute Chest Tattoo - from Adora-tions - or her hot pink Skelly Bear Pal - from NeverWish at FLF'O'WEEN until October 31st - is always her most difficult decision... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: [monso] - Lea Hair in Black&Red
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory
Glasses: mekaci - Glasses Nina (Gift Available until November 10th at Kustom9)
Tattoo: Adora-tions - Wickedly Cute Chest Tattoo

Skelly Chaos at the Spooky Spa

Sunday Night has always been a bath night in this house, and in the house since I was a little kid, because Monday morning was a school day and we had to be fresh and clean for school, I guess the habit has stuck with me all these years. I used to love taking long baths when I was a kid, but switched to long hot showers as I got older. I think that I started thinking more about soaking in the dirty water and decided to splish splash in the rain-like shower instead. 
This week though I am working on Sunday, and so I have to wait until Monday for my long showering pampering regime... In SL though, Rudh will be without me so she's booked herself into a little Witchy Spa for relaxation and peace... 

This spa is located within the old Royal Hall - a backdrop from FOXCITY - and the witchy sisters that run the place have set it up for pure luxury... They've turned huge old cauldrons into amazing Hexxed Hot Tubs - from Krescendo at FaMESHed - and decorated the private space with a lucious Ouija rug - also from Krescendo but at Kinky for just a couple more days - and a table with the set up needed to make the perfect cup of tea, including a set of Witchy Clutter - that's also from Krescendo at MadPea's Masquerade of Murder- and the coolest set of Crime Scene Tumblers - from Boutique #187 that you can hunt for at this year's SPOOKZILLA - as well as the most adorable of signs to show customers where they can get their fresh sheets, sorry I mean towels - a sign in a collection of hunt items from Junk Food for Spookzilla... 
They have promised me lots of peace and quiet, restful time to myself with a good book. Yet when I was taking a selfie to post on Facebook, I noticed that I wasn't alone... There were some adorable little Skeleton Animals - from Yokai - causing chaos, one reading through my book and two more splashing about in the hot tub... Looks like the peace and quiet won't be so peaceful...

Welcome to my Garden of Shadows

What would costumes at Halloween season be like if I didn't throw in a nod to the eight legged beasties that seem to be a cause of many people's nightmares. I'll admit that I don't find them terrifying but at the same time I'd rather not have the big fluffy ones in the house. My dog just watches them, my cat tries to play with them, but even my hubby has been known to get a little squeamish when there are big ones around, and the vaccuum has had to be the hero of the hour more than once... 
I will also admit though, that there is something about the arachnid chic which I find very difficult to bypass when creating costumes at this time of year... Spiderlady time... 

This year, the Spider Lady is the one holding the key to the Garden of Shadows... She sings that most haunting of melodies "Come Little Children" to welcome passers by into her garden, and once there they will never get out again... The garden is the doorway to the Spinner's Crypt - a backdrop from FOXCITY - and the perfect place for the arachnids to dance in the moonlight, weave their silken art and indulge in the delicacies of people that wander in... 
She's decorated, and never lonely, because of the visits from all her little spidey friends. They creep over her skin, escaping from within her... Through holes in her skin - a Virus spread by A.D.D Andel - decorating her body in an outfit of webs...

What is she wearing;
Head Pet: Nuville - Spider (Pure Evil) (No Longer Available!)

Demon Dog Walker

Halloween season wouldn't be Halloween without a little demonic presence... There are so many brilliant costumes possible, but honestly I get SO confused with what I want to do and how, so many choices, so little time... Every year, well not just Halloween so more like once a month at least, there's always a little demon in me that needs to come out to play. Today has been my day off, and so today I've been able to enjoy a day of looking after my house, a collection of tasks that I was lucky to include a long walk with my dog... 
When Demoness Rudh takes her puppies for a walk, it's always a little warmer and their wings tend to fan the flames... 

Within the Demonic Volcano - an older, but still flaming hot cave setting from Synnergy.Tavis - it's lucky that it's warm... Rudh the Demonness has never been one for wearing clothing that's too constricting, she needs  something sexier to make sure that she wins the attention of the devil... It's not easy being a succubus these days! The outfit of the day had to be a costume of the Errai - from Normandy, for a very short week of Abnormality - which I'll admit isn't the BEST outfit for walking the Hell Hounds, no matter how cute they may be - and these are adorable since they are the Cheeky Chibi Puppies from Aardvark that have been darkened by some Tardfish Horns and glowing Imp Wings from STOIC... 

What is she wearing;
Horns: [ContraptioN] - Jacob Horns

Spectral Elegance Awakens the Underworld

Sometimes you have an idea in your mind that visualises itself as something different to what you had thought it might be... I saw something that I loved, I saw another thing that I loved too,and for some weird reason they seemed to mould together in my mind to become a magical etherial being that magically summons the spirits of the dead... 

In the sanctum of the Gothic Ballroom - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - one of the sinister broken sisters of the dark, has begun an enchantment to raise the shadows of the Underworld - a set of shadowy hands from Pitaya. 
She stands in the middle of a magical circle, and chants her spell in the dark hall, as a Nox Arcana Aura appears and twists over her head. Chanting the words of the Bayadere - a pose set from NANTRA at We <3 RP - her Spectral Elegance - a gown from Moon Amore at Collabor88 - allowing some of the spirits to rise from the shadows and take more of an earthly form...

Movie Night Tonight!

Today is a day that has to be celebrated... How often is it that a day so important to the dark and twisted, a Friday the 13th,  falls in October... Today is the perfect day for us to take a little trip into the woods and head to a camp site known to many as Camp Crystal Lake in search of our favourite friend, Mr Jason Voorhees... Other Horror Movie villains come and go, so more important and well liked than others, but for me and in our house, none is better than the king of slasher villains... We watch his movies every Friday the 13th, but this year is a special one right?! It could not be something we missed...  

I got home from work, to a delicious dinner of fried chicken served in a seasonally themed Trick or Chicken style - from Hangry at the new round of equal10 - and we sat to watch an old VHS tape with THE best of the scary movies - from a Scary Movie Set created by Junk Food - although I admit that any time we got to the scary bits I would find some interesting message pop up on my Cute Psycho Black Phone - available from Boutique #187 at the SL Shop & Hop...
I'm not entirely sure that my teddy bear pals are keen on me playing around on my phone though, the Scare Bears - that I've had for a few years from Sakura - decided to stop me playing with my phone and make me focus on the movie by going on the attack, one of them going a little too far by accidentally cutting into my throat so that the blood went everywhere and totally soaked my jammies... Doesn't surprise me though, I knew that if I was ever going to be part of a Horror Movie Brat Pack I'd end up being the First to Die as I seem to have been magically labelled on my chest - thanks to an amazing tattoo with various different designs in a pack from Adora-tions at the new round of #BIGGIRL...

Protect the Pumpkin Patch

There comes a time in every monster's Halloween preparations when they have to head to the most important of places to find themselves a big ol' pumpkin... It's the most important of all Halloween decorations, something that is carved, painted, decorated and then filled with a lit flame to scare off the evil spirits... I've never been that great at carving them, my sister makes brilliant designs mine end up only looking scary after a week when they've begun to rot LOL... Still there comes a time in October when it is very important to get yourself the right one... The best place to find them ALWAYS happens to be in a garden, and there's one person that the monsters turn to for the best pumpkins... 

This little scarecrow lives in one of those mysterious Cabin in the Woods - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - and has a perfect little spot for the growing of pumpkins... There is a LITTLE bit of a problem however, and that would be that even though she's a scarecrow she cannot keep the Caw-niving Crows - from Aardvark as a prize in the MadPea's Masquerade of Murder until November 2nd - and she's had to resort to planting some other things amongst the pumpkin plants... They are Cute Monster Plants - from Boutique #187 until October 22nd at Planet29 - don't smell all that pretty, and although they have a rather gorgeous set of petals, it's the HUGE teeth the birdies have to look out for...

Dog Walking in the Woods

 It's been a week now, and I've been more than a little distracted this week, but there's something that I cannot stop myself having to take a moment to talk about... This year's Dark Adventure has been open for a whole week. My hubby HellBone, Bestieface Spooky and our darling Salem, worked our little butts off on a million different things, all whilst fighting RL demons, to bring an adventure to life and there is a subtle nod to one our all-time favourite things... We're heading into Halloween Town, home of a 30 year old Nightmare, but because it's out own little Dark Adventure, of course there is a bit of a twist... 

Alongside this though, a Dark Adventure into Halloween Town wouldn't be the same without our own little version of a certain skeleton and his reliable puppy companion... Of Course, I had to Rudhify things a little, there's no way I'd want to be normal right?! 
I've twisted Jack and moulded him to become my own version of the Pumpkin princess... I couldn't be the Queen could I? That's Sally! Yet I love to be the heir to their throne and I love to make my own Dark Adventures in the grove of trees... I have to wear a skeleton mask, and have a collection of different ones from The Shadow Fox - a selection that is available now until October 12th at Ritual - and yes I do wear a striped suit, although that too is more Rudh than Burton - and really comes from AsteroidBox, at Anthem until October 27th - and it's a little bit more comfortable for walking through the woods with my adorably Happy Doggo - from Tardfish...

What is she wearing;
Hair: [monso] - Arima Hair in Black & Red (Available until October 10th at Kustom9)

Drinking Induced Nightmares...

Yesterday was a TOTAL nightmare and today I've been a little nervous, feeling shocking due to the events of yesterday. It caused me to miss my Monsterous month target but I'm hoping that I can just carry on as much as possible. I think though, today I need a very STIFF drink, there's no better place to get myself a halloween drink, than at the nearest Halloween party... 

I don't know what I want to drink, I really need something stronger and I feel like making myself a fancy cocktail... I am having pizza for dinner, nothing as fancy as you might get at the Halloween Party - like the ones I'd laid out from vespertine - and the TWO different flavours of fancy Ice Cream for dessert, in this case I'm going for something Humane and Eyeballs - thanks to Clover and Aardvark in that order... But Now it's time to start mixing up the strongest of drinks... I'm going to mix some Crabby Apple Beer and some Mutant Energy Drinks - both of which are available from Junk Food at the mainstore - I made myself into a Shamless Martini - an accessory by Figure 8... I MAY have drunk a few of those too many, it didnt take long until the chocolates that I'd been holding onto for later became Horror Chocolates - from Aardvark - floating around my head, gnashing it's teeth at me menacingly...

Needling the Dolls

So far I'm on a roll, though I think that tomorrow that's about to change as I won't be able to get a blog post done due to RL working keeping me out late... I'm not going to complain though, I am still going to make sure that every post counts where the monstrous me is concerned... 
Today I went out treasure hunting, I got to go to the local thrift stores in search of treasures, and I LOVED IT... Books, some random decor and even a couple of those weird doll animals - which HellBone makes look dead and then resells online - made it home with us, and it reall got me thinking about all of my old toys. Where are they now? I used to love some of my old dolls, I cannot find my old favourite and I hope that I never threw him away... Losing a doll could be dangerous... 

Certain dolls are fun to play with, certain dolls are dangerous, and I wonder which I like more... I LOVE the idea of a voodoo doll, I'm always a little daunted by them but there are some amazing stories, secrets and magical things to learn about them... Before I get myself to play with one, I plan on reading as many books as I could to learn as much as I can - set in a pose like the Idealist pose set from -Extra- that includes book props - before I even let myself pick up any kind of Spooky Desire Dolls - from KitCat - to attempt anything... Being a doll herself,will it have as much magical success? She's a Patchwork doll herself - thanks to the Sweet Thing Patchwork Set - and she's definitely prepped to be ready for the attempt of testing a doll herself. Primed with the Poppet Pins - from Violetility - and a some needles in her Niddle Collar - a gorgeously spike collar from Chemical Princess - but nothing will happen until she makes the first poke into the dollies chest...

Dancing to awaken her babies...

October 2nd, a day that for some reason this year although monstrous should be a little bit of a ladylike, girlie kinda day... Now there are lots and lots of pretty monsters we could have gone for, especially these days considering how much of a Monster High fan I am since I first discovered it, but one always stands out to me... Her story of a broken heart, and her magical abilities and the anger that she must have felt at his betrayal, it's a story that is sad but beautiful, and definitely a reason that this gorgon is one of my favourite monsters... 

Standing in the temple, her home away from home, where the flowers are growing to cover the statues of her fallen lovers she dances in the breeze of the petals... Now that she's free, for the Halloween festivities, she's going to make sure she can dance in the sunshine, before she heads back into the dark... Her glittering scales sparkling in the setting sunlight, while the snakes of her hair are slowly starting to awaken... 
On a random side note, and because I'm useless as much as I LOVE my medusa look, the ENTIRE reason that I was inspired to become her today is so small you will need a magnifying glass to see it... I was TOTALLY inspired in this look by the most amazing septum piercing from Six Feet Under, who created the Serpent Septum Nose Ring... Now if you look closely you can see it, but you don't get to see how pretty it actually is, so I've decided to add the store add here too, just to make things a little clearer...

Halloween has started, the Funhouse is Open!

YAY it's FINALLY October 1st and YAY I don't think it could have come at any better of a time... Today opens this year's Dark Adventure, although I'll share more about that another time, and there are so many awesome things happening this month... PLUS it's the start of my month of Halloween costumes... I cannot wait, it's the MOST wonderful time of the year!!! 
The monsters are bursting through the doors of Second Life's twisted fun house... The monstrous circus is in town, and there will be so much fun as they haunt their way through Second Life... I cannot wait to see what characters come through those doors... 

The Funhouse - an amazing building by What's Lost Spirits at the current round of the Engine Room - is where all of the nasty crazies that are lurking around me have been hiding are escaping from this year... You never know what craziness can come out of a fun house, just like you never know what can come out of me... First out, someone to check the coast is clear, under the guise of being one of the circus crowd, she's a dancer, a little magical but almost unreal... She's got robotic wings - from RSStore - and her clockwork dress showing signs of her clockwork nature... She wears her doll key on a choker around her neck - part of a set from torment, also at Engine Room - that will not only assist her in energizing herself but will also wind up the galloping gear horses on her dress - the Gears Gallop Dress is amazing in so many colours from moon amore, again at the Engine Room - so she's able to corral the Carousel Courier ponies...
