The Vampire's Eternal Sparkle!

I am so sorry that I've been so down in the dumps lately... I've been lost in my own head. I'm trying to get into the spirit of Halloween, and even doing things that are spooky picture wise isn't helping right now... Heck even the Halloween themed smut I'm reading doesn't seem to be helping right now and I don't know what I can do about it... 
I need a little Halloween magic today and I have to dig deep to find it... I REALLY don't know where I'll find it... 

I managed to find a dark little Halloween fae in the moonlight, the darkess broken by the sparkling moonlight through the windows of the Eternal Rest - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - the perfect place for a vampire and his fae muse. His Sunveil Monarch - which is the name of the collection by Aii, available from Engine Room that features the jacket, collar and jewels being worn here - his light in the darkness, his happiness in a place where he wil spend his L'eternite...

Here come the Clowns...

I have said before that there are various things I require every Halloween for it to feel like a good Halloween... One of those was spiders, another of those happens to be clowns... I know that some people HATE clows, and I am of the opinion that so long as they aren't the type to lurk on street corners and threaten to kill me I can just ignore them... For me though, the Halloween spookies wouldn't be the same without a trip to see the clowns... 

At the circus of Forgotten Laughs - which happens to be a backdrop by The Bearded Guy - where the clowns are somewhat familiar - mostly because they are some of my favourite toys in my inventory to play with every year - but more than a little creepy looking, they have a new female face this year... 
She's one of the Insane Harlequinn types, dressed in the Natalie - a gorgeous combination outfit that comes from AsteroidBox but sold separately, the top and jacket at Equal10 and the pants at Collabor88 - leather set that is both comfortable and easy clean when she assists the other clowns in their murder spree...

Haunted Fast Food at the Diner

Do you ever have those where you don't want to cook something? I, in fact, seem to be having far too many of those days lately, I don't know what to cook, what to eat and if I can either be bothered to stand around and cook something. It feels like so much of a burden and in fact when I add that to my general slump at the moment I feel more than a little down in the dumps... What should I do to make things better?
Nothing seems to be working... Not even the thoughts of a little junk food will cheer me up... 

When I was little we used to be allowed some form of take out about once a month, although there were extenuating circumstances that sometimes made that change... We would have fish'n'chips or chinese and even more rarely as a special treat we'd be allowed to have a McDonalds... It always seemed fun to have a Happy Meal toy... 
Today I decided to take my Bumpkin Buddies - from Sakura - out for some Haunted Fast Food - from Junk Food - at the California Diner... The black burgers are delicious, the kids love the haunted nuggets and they now have Mummy Mozzarella Sticks... I'll have to pick up HellBone a Ghost Pizza and some sodas... It's a LOT of Junk Food but sometimes we need a treat right... ALSO If I'm lucky the kids might forget these adorable unhappy meal Brew Toys - which are actually a GORGEOUS new release from Snuggle&Co for Satan Inc... Where can I get me one of these in RL please? - and I'll be able to keep them for myself...

Leaving the Engine Room

I dont know what it is but at the moment I'm finding it hard to get into the spirit of Halloween... In fact, let me be honest and totally real here with you a moment, I am findingit hard to get into doing much of anything at the moment. I can sit staring at a look I'm putting together fora picture for hours and find no entertainment in it, all I want to do is sleep right now... That's not good is it?!
Maybe I need to fly away, escape to somewhere that's not in my mind and I don't need to think... Someone come get me and take me away please... 

There is about 8 days left before the Engine Room closes, and the interesting characters that have come out of the woodwork for the opening of the doors are slowly beginning prep for the closing... There are hot air balloons being readied in the wing of Reactor 4 - a building kit from mizu for the Engine Room - and as a captain of one, I'm going to head down early to prepare myself for their flight... My bags are packed, I want to get away...

Caught in their Webs!

For Halloween, there are a few things that I ALWAYS find myself looking forward to playing around at dress-up for... Clowns, Monsters and all things dark and depraved... Things that make people shudder, one of the most reoccuring, every year for me, tends to be the Arachnids... I am a Spidy Lady...

I admit I'm not spider fan, I don't like the creepy crawlie feeling as it makes me feel kinda skeevy and shuddery and gross... I will admit that I LOVE Spiders eating the annoying flies that bug me in my home... 
Incy Wincy Spider is a Queen on Halloween... Adorable as pets in Second Life, not so much in Real Life, those can stay away from me...

Cinder Moon and the Sabertooth Beasts

Days off are lovely at this time of year, or at least I think so... I love having a reason to be hiding in the coziness of my house while the weather is causing chaos around me... I love that this time of year things are getting darker, and since it's spooky season, everything is just that little bit more mysterious... 
I LOVE being all kinds of different characters at this time of year, although I'm finding it somewhat difficult to get motivated this year... I don't know how to get in the zone, maybe I NEED to speak to the mystic gods and ask for some magical assistance... 

Today on a trek into the jungle I've come to ask for assistance from the Cinder Moon Druid - dressed in a Cinder outfit from Enfant Terrible at Engine Room until October 20th, and a Druid Moon Staff from Simply Shelby - at the Sons of the Sun Temple - which is a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - and she's the person that may be able to help... 
Beware her Sabertooth Beasts - a gorgeous Engine Room release from Aardvark - though, they can be soft and sweet little kittens but mess with their mistress and you're in big trouble and whatever you do, don't call them tigers...
