Celebrating a little more Pride@Home!

Pride month has been active for a few long weeks and I know that I've missed mostly all of it. I have some very good reasons and as much as I know that Pride is important, right now I don't have much of the normal brain capacity I work with... I Stand by those celebrating Pride, and all the things that it represents, but my ability to see colours in things has somewhat diminished this week! I had devastating news and I'm just trying to keep my head on straight for the entire family... 

Still, since it's drawing closer to the end of the month, and since there are so many reasons for so many to be living their best life right now, I NEED to think a few happy thoughts. I NEED a little colour while there is none here... I went to see the Take That Circus show, but I'm a very sad little clown right now... Perhaps I'm doing things wrong?! 
I popped into Pride@Home for a breather from my families RL chaos and decided it was time for an ice cream... I may have been decked out in rainbows, but that feels like such a mask and putting on a show right now... Maybe I am more like one of the circus clowns I saw than I realised?! 
Hope everyone that was celebrating had a wonderful Pride Month... I will be heading home soon and NEED some time to get my head on straighter! Bear with me, things could get a little more rocky over the next few months!

Pandora's Box in Dark Japan

It's that time of the month again, Pandora's Box has officially opened for July and this time we are heading on a dark and twisted journey into the world that is Dark Japan. Now I know I said this before, and I have no trouble saying it again, that I was and maybe still am, a little concerned about how I will handle this month. I know very little about the Japanese culture, and feel a bit like I might make a mess of things, but once the box was opened I was pleasantly surprised... There were lots of lovely things that I will be able to use and enjoy, to bring new and interesting characters to life... 
So let's take a step into the world of Dark Japan, welcome to the July Pandora's Box... 

Rudh is welcoming you to the Dark Japanese world, wearing a gorgeous Fan Headdress from Occult - in this month's Pandora's Box - it seemed to work perfectly with a non-box related release from WONDERLOST, which is available at the current round of The Secret Affair - and the cute BF Store Choker - which is available in the Pandora's Box. 
In the background - which a lovely photo box created by BUENO - you may notice the dark Shinigami Gazebo which I've used as a decorative prop BUT is also awesome for any Japanese garden - a gift in the Pandora's Box from [QE Home]. 
Now because this is a Pandora's Box post... You may want a reminder about Pandora's Box... As a basic reminder, the best place to go to sign up for your box is the Pandora's Box HQ. Now that the box has been opened the cost will be 2500L, which will allow you to join the group and get your box - bear in mind though that you only have until May 30th to do so - and all those wonderful goodies will be yours. Then after the last day in May the group will be emptied and sign up begins for the following month's box - which if you join the group before the release date will be 1500L! You can get more information about this at the Pandora's Box Website!!
I wonder what more will await us in Dark Japan, Sushi Perhaps?
