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...

Hair & Accessories: no.match - NO_MYTH in Pack of REDS
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory

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... 

What is in the picture;
Wheel: [Krescendo] - Wheel of Fate in Black (Available until October 31st at Salem)
Neon Sign: Elm - Haunted Neons in Psychic Readings (Available until November 3rd at Equal10)

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...
