Welcome to the Department of the Dead!!

It's HALLOWEEN today... It's the spookiest day of the year, but I've been busy at work and I'm knackered now... I want to take a moment to rest, but there is something that I have to do first... I've been working one job, and now I get home and have to take my living dead girl self back to work of a different kind... I have to head to my job at the Department of the Dead... Tonight is gonna be a long shift... 

It's an important day today at the Department of the Dead - which happens to be a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - since it's Halloween and we are going to be busy welcoming new members of the living dead, and prepping passes to make sure that people are able to go back on their haunting adventures... 
We're prepped and ready to go, I've organised all different kinds of treats with no tricks in sight... There's lots of candy in the Boo Bites Candy Bowl - from Junk Food - and a cake tower covered in delicious Halloween Desserts - from Tardfish, available until the end of today at Haunting Labyrinth - there will be delicious Boo Slushies, Poison Eye Cookies and even an Apple Dipping Bar - from Lucas Lameth - and we hope that everyone is welcome to their afterlife...

The Fairy Collector

I'm kinda tired, today was pretty blah and I ended up feeling so sick... I wanted to just curl up in a ball but ended up being a pretty strong but sick little munchkin that faced the entire day and then had to make it home without pooping her pants or throwing up all over the bus... 
Now that I'm home I am going to take it easy, have some hot tea and rest up on the sofa... I might do something to distract myself... Let's see where my mind takes me today... 

I'll light a fire and curl up in the library... I wish I had a library... Rudh should have one, a library or a study or something... It would be lovely to curl up, under a blanket, in front of a fire with a good book or a new hobby... 
A new hobby like Taxidermy, perhaps?! Though I'm not sure I could do it with animals, an ex boyfriend or some other pain in the ass, but definitely not an animal. Maybe I could fake it, make it with dolls perhaps? Some Fair Folk taxidermy - like the collection created by random.Matter, available until tomorrow at Salem - I'll even make the little props to use as Catcher's Tools... 
I'll make a hot cup of Harvest Cider - from Junk Food - that comes in a large bottle and and can easily be warmed up... A perfect activity for an Autumn Evening...

Something Tells Me It's Haunted!

Oh... You mean your house is HAUNTED Haunted... That can be the only reason that we're seeing not only Rudh in her Buffy attire today, but also three cars with a known association towards hunting spookies... I'm sure the drivers of these vehicles will have everything under control, but since I'm here, I cannot resist taking a peek... 

It's that time of year when Spooky things that need to be on the TV... Some Scooby Doo for the cute cartoonies, a Ghostbusters movie but the original not the newer ones please, and some Supernatural because those two brothers are both hot and expert monster killers... Plus there is that epic crossover with the Supernatural Boys in the Scooby Doo cartoons... Perfect for a chicken like me to watch and still feel spooky... NOT that I'd want to be anywhere that all three of these heroic groups would be... No thank you!!! 
I would hate to be dressed as another supernatural handling character and wander into the same location as these three... This Bufi would be outta there LOL...

A Demon of Purgatory

Today has been a day off, and if you know me at all, you know those days tend to be the type of days when I let my imagination wander off and the fantasies come alive in Second Life... I LOVE days like this, and these kind of days are not the normal kind of days for me lately... Halloween isn't even getting me excited at the moment... 
I need something a little monstrous, but I think that death has been on my mind since I lost my mum... Today I'm meeting a demon of death... A dark, twisted and chaotic monstrous soul, if she has one... 

Our visitor today is a Demon Bat - a creative set of skins, wings and horns from Faunus - of the Alaric clan - which is actually the name of the head, worn with a Blush Velour Skin tone from BeSpoke - and she is a holder of the souls in the forgotten graveyard. She collects them from the Grim Reaper, and holds them in purgatory until they are dragged down to the depths of their eternity... She's kept on a tight leash, her master keeps a void-like grip on her - thanks to the Vuriks Void Choker - but she's never alone, especially when the Grasping Zombie Hands - from Static, available until October 28th at Abnormality - reach out for her... Is this the End of the Story?

A Walk in a Nightmare Garden

I wanted to try and get myself back into something a little darker, and lot more Halloweeny... I don't know what I'm going to do, but this Halloween season I'm getting far too bleh and not a lot of spooky action going on... 
There has to be a way to get a little dark and scary, there has to be something that I can do... Spooky books ain't working. Costumes ain't working. I think I'm going to have to find another way... Maybe a walk in the dark... 

As I walked in the evening, I ended up wandering through the Pearly Gates - a backdrop by FOXCITY - into a place that felt a bit like a nightmare... There was a soft sound coming from under the bushes, and when I took a peek the most adorable little creature was sat there looking at me... He had been left there as a Sacrificial Lamb - a creation by Tardfish, for Salem until October 31st - for the monsters that would come out in the dark... 
I'm not sure I want to be here in the dark anymore than he does, especially if the monsters that are coming are using their victims to grow their "Pomegranate Remains" - an amazing release from Schadenfreude for the currently running round of Camp Syndicate by Second Life Syndicate - so before they arrive we'd better slip back through those pearly gates... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Wasabi - Mischief Hair in Absolute Pack

Bellydance at the Pharoah's Court

Halloween is coming and it's the perfect season for playing dress-up, and there is so many different things that I could choose to be I couldn't resist the urge to do something meaningful... 
I'm not monstrous this morning, I'm not in the mood right now but I do want to do something in a beautiful costume... I am doing something to honour one of my favourite members of the recently deceased... 

Today is just another post in a long list of posts that I'm doing with Mum on my mind... I wanted to play dress up, and decided today rather than allow it to be something dark, depraved and gruesome, I was going to be something beautiful and a passionate hobby of my mum's... Bellydancing... 
Mum had been a bellydancer for about 15 years. She did it with a group of older ladies as a way of making friends and having a little exercise, but she loved the dance, the shows they did and the costumes... Today I'm thinking of her, as I dance around the Pharaoh's Court - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - bellydancing for the Egyptian Gods of old...

Where The Preserved Mirages Grow...

After a few days away because in Holland they celebrate the 12.5 year wedding anniversary, and Hell and I are celebrating that today, I have had a chance to rest and relax... I read two books in 4 days and had some lovely walks in lots of fresh air, and the FOOD, it was phenomenal... 
Yet now I'm back on Earth with a bump, I'm back and needing to check in on some stuff at the Engine Room before they close it's doors and get ready to move on... Let me show you... 

Deep in the toxic sewers below the Engine Room, where the bodies are hung before they are fed to the deadly "Preserved Mirage" Flowers - from Blue Blood at the Engine Room until October 20th - and the Angler Fish - from LORE also at Engine Room - act as the lamps that float around in the little balloons, I have to check that the flow of toxic sludge is keeping the plants happy... 
Of course when you go down into the sewer it's ALWAYS a good idea to make sure that you're wearing armour on your dress - an outfit and matching bracers from AsteroidBox - to protect you from the acidic sludge...

Psychic Readings with the Wheel of Fate

Ever want to talk to someone SO MUCH that you'll do anything to find that contact again? Whether it's for comfort from the sound of a voice, the sharing of a laugh that only you understand, or it's just the only way that you'll get the answers that you seek, there is no real way that you can speak to those that you've lost to a death... I'd give anything to talk to Mum at the moment... It's nearly Halloween, and the spirit world is closer than normal... Maybe there is a way?! 

I have an appointment with the Whispering Tarot, where the Wheel of Fate - a release from Krescendo that was in an event but should now be back at the mainstore - will assist the fortune teller with their contact making... Once the telephone starts to ring, you'll be able to speak to your loved one... 
There is ONE safety mechanism included... The Emergency Stop Button - which is actually an amazing accessory from Boutique #187 (and since there are so many cool things that can come out of the button when it's pushed I've added the ad board texture below so that you can see for yourself just how cool it is, since the picture doesn't really do it the justice it deserves!) - will automatically end the session, as soon as the demons start calling...

Creepin' It Cute!

After two blog posts of dark monstrous colourlessness, I NEEDED to find that colourful spark again. I NEED to find a light in the darkness, even though it's Halloween, and I'm in a pretty shit mood, there must be some colour out there somewhere, and people have been celebrating the cute Halloween... Maybe I need to jump myself on that train, become my inner teenage witch and get the party started... 

I'm living in my own little horror right now, I'm wearing a colour that gives me nightmares... Purple... I am TERRIBLE when it comes to purple, I know so many people love it, but me... YUCK lol... Yet I couldn't resist when I was trying on these super cute but Casually Cursed Jeans - from The Kiwi Co - and they were perfect for the teenage witch in me... 
So whilst I was up to teenage witchy things, I decided to hide out in the Fusion Lair - a backdrop from K&S - and since it's Witching Season - and using a pose from -Extra- - it was time to cook up some pastel chaos, and spend my time Creepin' it Cute - the name of the balloon set from Krescendo...

The Doc in the Asylum

I'm really in the Spooky season feeling right now and I cannot wait to see where the Halloween feels take me when it comes to blogging and my mind this month, especially considering how my mind is working at the moment. Today was a sign of my brain, I think you can see just how much I NEED some time to rest my mind, I could do with a sedative and some time away... 
Maybe a trip to the Halloween ward in the Horror Asylum... 

The Nurses are a little creepy looking - thanks to ORPHIC at the new round of Camp Syndicate, by Second Life Syndicate - but the Doctors seem to know exactly what they are doing and always willing to give me just the right dose of whichever poison will take the edge off the pain...

Candlelight in the Dark

I'm a Monster sometimes... I try to be a good girl but that doesn't always get me to where I want to be in times of trouble, and frankly at the moment I'm done being the good girl. I want to see if the Monsters in me can have a little fun, it's Spooky Season after all, and when else is a better time to let them out to play. I think they've been cooped up far too long and NEED a little release... 

I had no idea which monster would come out the moment I opened up the doors, and when this monstrous looking vampiric, demon, coming through the gate I wasn't in the least surprised. I know that she is just the personification of the tired and broken ol' me at the moment... She's dark and evil looking, but she's brought a lot of candle light to try and bring in a little lightness from the dark... The wax melting on her skin does not cause her any pain, showing how much the living dead being is too full of pain already...

Water Balloon War Zone!

It might be spooky season, but we still have a lot to do to prepare for the festivities... Blood baths are being filled, weapons are being sharpened, costumes are being steamed and there are things being pulled out of storage boxes for all of the crazy, colourful characters that may pass through this way at any given time... 
We're taking a peek behind the scenes at the Circus for a moment today... They have been setting up the dunk tank, and there are some crazy little characters that are reportedly causing chaos... 

Normally at the circus it's the crazy clowns that are the ones causing the chaos, but today it seems like they have some little intruders that are doing that for them... All the clowns were doing was filling the water balloons, prepping it and the balls ready for the dunk tank and then the water balloons took a turn in a different direction... There were some little Capibara Waterballoons - from MishMish - amongst the regular balloons, and those little beasties are chaosmongers! Let the Water Balloon battle commence LOL...

Pumpkins for Autumn

I'm a little late starting my month of October off... The reason is that I've had my dad over for a visit for a few days, and it's a chaotic whirlwind of keeping him busy. I love Dad, he's been a rock since I was a little kid and although there have been a lot of shake-ups recently, and I do, sadly, view things differently than before I'm trying to keep the family together and without any issues... So naturally, now I'm exhausted and need a few days off, just in time to go back to work tomorrow! YAY!!! 
I do have one moment of peace this afternoon and so I'm heading out to get something very important for the month sorted... I'm off out to the pumpkin patch... 

It's now pumpkin season... It's also spooky season... I'm ready for both and looking forward to getting my scary on, but for now I NEED to make sure that I have the most important decorative item ready... How many do you think Hell will consider to be too many though? Do you think he'd let me leave with the "Biggest in the Patch" pumpkin - part of a set from Simply Shelby - or will I have to settle for a smaller one that I found "Among the Vines" - which is part of a pose set from -Extra- - it's such a hard choice to make and I am wondering if there would be a problem with me taking too many... Worst case scenario there will be pumpkin soup for dinner for a while LOL...
