Last night was a nightmare. My brand new 8 month old computer took a shit and broke down on me, sending me into a panic attack... It resulted in some frantic phone calls to the company we bought it from and they shipped me a new motherboard to test things out. I'm finally able to get back online, and PHEW, it feels good... I was majorly panicked for a little while...
Now I'm in a damn good mood and I really feel like dancing, not just any dancing, I'm going to be dancing in a fantasy garden, letting the breeze catch my hair as I pick some pretty flowers!
I'm a dancing Fawn in the Fae Forest, skipping through the sunlight and picking bunches of Chicory and singing a happy little tune to myself!
My ears, legs and tail are a VERY old outfit from Alchemy - it was a gacha release that I've been waiting all this time to find the perfect photo for - but the reason I got so fantasied some stuff was because of the gorgeous horns and veil combination that is a collaboration between MuggleBorn and Inner Demons for the current round of Level!
What is she wearing;
Horns & Veil: MuggleBorn & Inner Demons - Horns and Veil (Available until August 24th at Level)
Hair: TRUTH - Ophelia in Selection
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Outfit (Including Ears & Legs): Alchemy - Fawn Gacha Items in Forest
Flowers: LODE - Chicory Bouquet
Pose: Secret Poses - Posing & Dancing, Pose 1 (Available until August 28th at Unik)
How the heck is it so hot at the moment... BAH HUMBUG I HATE SUMMER!! Apparently it's not going to cool down in Holland all that much either, and in August they are expecting extreme highs in temperature! *facepalms* I'm already counting down the days until Autumn comes, BRING ON THE COLD!!
While it's this hot, I feel like letting my inner demon out to play, she's not got a problem with the heat, since she's used to the high temperatures of Hell...In fact she's even taken on new responsibilities in Hell, waiting for the new arrivals at their final destination on the River Styx...
The voice comes over the tannoy "Last Stop... HELL... Please check in with the red-head on the pier!"
This outfit was NEVER meant to be demonic, I was actually going to do something pretty and girlie with it, would you believe lol... Yet I went to check for a pose backdrop at WHOLE WHEAT and this idea kinda grew in my head...
Just an FYI though, at the moment they are undertaking a MAJOR remodelling at Whole Wheat, so be careful where you tread if you decide to visit now!!!
The entire base for this outfit was in fact these lassitude & ennui boots, which are available at We <3 RP until July 31st. When I put the boots on, I immediately thought they'd be cute with the Elivah dress I picked up at The Crystal Heart Festival, but somehow after that things got twisted, I blame it on the location... My horns, tail and wings began to show, and it wasn't long until I was joined by a little HellHound Puppy...
So now I wait for the new arrivals in Hell... All hell is about to break loose!!!
What is she wearing;
Hair: TRUTH - Lady in Redhead
Demon Horns: aii - Kintsukuroi Horns
Eyes: Izzie's - Demon Eyes
Dress: Eliavah - Everbloom Dress in White (Available until July 21st at The Crystal Heart Festival)
Wings: Tentacio - Dark Call Me Gacha Items in Vamp Wings
Tail: Caboodle - Sultry Demon Gacha Item in Demon Tail Red
Boots: lassitude & ennui - Trish Boots in White (Available until July 31st at We <3 RP)
Dog: Alchemy - Hell Puppers in Dark
Pose: Image Essentials - Kawaii, Pose 5
Well I had my first day at work yesterday, and am tired as all heck this morning, BUT I have another day today and am actually still feeling excited about going in. I'm a happy girl right now, let's see how long this lasts. Everything seems to be going well... The Gators are happy, I have a new job, and still have time to do me things... It's great!!
So I'm letting my mind wander into Fairy tales... Hell and I just started watching an older but recommended TV Series called "Once Upon a Time" and its GOOD!!! So fairy tales are the forefront of my mind right now!
I've had this look ready for a while, a Magical Fox in Snuggles Forest, she's the kind of creature that belongs in a fairy tale.
She's a magical Moon Alchemy Fox... Born of a LootBox - the Alchemy Foxy collection at this month's LootBox which is open until April 19th by the way - with a touch of Moon "Distance" - in the form of this gorgeous hairstyle from Moon which is available at Kustom9 until April 10th and yes I know that's today but you may catch it, or have to wait until it's released in the mainstore!
Be quick if you want to see her though, she's about to scamper off into the woods and hide for another work day is about to begin!
What is she wearing;
Hair: Moon - Distance in RedHeads (Available until April 10th at Kustom9)
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2

Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, a Pirates life for me!!
When I was younger and wasn't dreaming of being a princess, I wanted to be a Pirate. This was made worse, in later years, by the Pirates of the Caribbean - let's face it who could resist Johnny Depp dressed like that, I'd have done whatever he told me - and then when I got my first out of school job as a living historian, I was considering it could become a reality as I wanted to specialise in historical costume! That all changed when I met HellBone and had to find work in a country I didn't speak the language of, BUT the idea of being a pirate still lingers in my brain, and luckily for me in SL I can be just that...
There are some amazing pirate costumes available in SL but when I saw this one I wanted it... Unfortunately it was a gacha and so I let it be at the time of release, I wasn't sure I wanted to play to win a set, then I found a full set in this pretty sky blue colour and knew that was the perfect colour for Pirate Captain Rudhmellowen Laguna... The complete outfit is an Alchemy original, and it comes in various colours with other things added to the rare versions - this is not one of the rares by the way - but even the non-rare colour sets have hats and eye patches to match the amazing coats.
Then to complete the look I remembered that buried deep in my hoard was a nod to the Pirates of the Caribbean - and therefore to that sexy Captain Sparrow - in the form of the BAMSE Cursed Necklace.
I was ready for adventure... Now any self-respecting wannabe pirate captain knows that there is only one place for Pirates and that would be Tortuga... SL has it's own version of this place, a land called BLACKSPOT Shipyard.. Here you can commandeer a ship, you can drown your sorrows and perhaps even bury your treasure! It's well worth checking out, and who knows you could even become part of my crew hehe...
What is she wearing;
Hair: Magika - Friday
Skin: Glam Affair - Luna Skin in Asia (Available until January 23rd at Uber)
Necklace: BAMSE - Cursed Necklace in Rusty
Outfit, Eye Patch & Hat: Alchemy - Pirate Wench Gacha Items in Sky
Boots: HOLLYHOOD - Baraka Boots in Brown
Pose: Signature Pose - Aria 1
I'm still on a roll with playing around with things that are a little different... Today I wanted to go in a totally different direction and do something a little pretty, a little fantasy, and possibly a little crazy...
Well I personally think that I have achieved just what I wanted with that goal... The look I chose is pretty and a little fantasy, and the place that I went to take the photo made not only myself but one of my dear friends go a little crazy - and that was totally unintentional.
The location I re-discovered and decided would be a fun background was the munchkin land at The Magic of Oz... It's just so cute, filled with fantastic colours, not to mention a super fun trip down the yellow brick road lol... Regardless, the location was what caused madness this time. Lil and I were talking during our early morning coffee chat and while I was there photographing a certain Oz based song - "We're off to see the Wizard" if you must know lol - popped into my head and there was no shutting me up LOL...
From the look of things though, my dress up today saw Rudh get turned into a new Good Witch of Oz... I'm not sure good witch would work for me, but anything is worth a try LOL...
The look was started because I had an outfit with the MOST AMAZING looking sheer cape from Stargazer Creations - it comes with an outfit called Priestess Cassandra that was available at Create Your Own Tarot - although I'm not sure if the event is still running or if it has closed for the month *facepalms*... The sparkling irridesence of that cape was offset by a pair of similarly irridescent Wishbox wings, I then dressed the rest of me down a little bit, wearing a cute but simple Faelynn outfit from SAKIDE.
To give this new good witch a mode of transport - I mean Glinda has her bubbles so I needed something - I rescued these amazing Huntress Panthers from Alchemy. They are gacha releases and have thus meant I spent far too much money trying to free them but I feel they make the perfect companions for a Witch of Oz...
What is she wearing;
Hair: Ploom - Love
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)
Necklace: Maxi Gossamer - Angel Wings Jewelled in Gold
Cape: [Stargazer Creations] - Priestess Cassandra in Cataclysm (PART OF AN OUTFIT) (Available Now at CYOT)
Wings: Wishbox - Dusk Wings
Bodysuit: SAKIDE - Faelynn Outfit in Rose (Available Now at The Fantasy Collective)
Mount & Companion: Alchemy - The Huntress Panthers (Available Now at The Secret Affair)
I'd seen a place in SL on other Blog and Flickr posts that I wanted to explore... Sometimes that happens, especially when you see some of the inspirational photos that other people take of places they visit... It's one of the things I love about Flickr, you can see where people are visiting and often find places that you'd never normally come across, all because you scrolled down through a list of photos!
This for me was one of those places... A place called The End of the World as we Know It... How can you resist, I'd love to know what that would look like - someone's interpretation of that anyway... It's BRILLIANT! A great apocalyptic background for any budding photographer, and an interesting place to check out for those explorers amongst us!
Of course the End of the World does require a Kick-Ass outfit!!! Although I cannot work out what possessed me to wear both blond hair and heels at the End of the World, but hey maybe it would work as a disguise and I do look kinda fierce!?!
The outfit, with it's matching bracers, is a set that you need to go get at the Alchemy event. There are lots of pretty things available there, but for this one you need to check the ImmateriA stand - just sayin' hehe... Available in three different colours, this look is one that resonates all of the usual great things about ImmateriA, from design to colour to textures used... It's a very worthwhile set to check out!
I wore it with some barely there, chained spike heels from AZOURY - perfect choice for running from chaos I know LOL - a slightly bloody Kaneki Mask - from Obscure at The Dark Style Fair 2 - will keep any poisonous gasses at bay and anything else that I could potentially need I had stuffed into my favourite new bag from Nefarious Inventions... I was set to escape... I just wish that I'd put better shoes on LOL...
What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Sukie (Available Now at Uber)
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)
Face Wounds: Utopiah - Excessive Pain Makeup
Mask: Obscure - Kaneki Mask in Blood White (Available Now at The Dark Style Fair 2)
Blood: Ama - Blood Splatter
Bruises: Corvus - Body Bruises
Outfit (Including Bracers): ImmateriA - Iushthly in Ayizan (Available Now at Alchemy)
Shoes: AZOURY - Lazarus in Silver
Bag: nefarious inventions - Fatal Procedure in Brown (Available Now at The Dark Style Fair 2)
Pose: Image Essentials - Clutch 8 (Available Now at the Depraved Nation Thrift Shop)
Image Essentials really does make some pretty poses, and that would be why they are one of my two favourite places to go when it comes to looking for the perfect animation to set the scene of the photos that I am addicted to taking... I guess they are like the facilitators of my photography addiction, encouraging me to take more and therefore get some relaxation in... I really find it theraputic to set up shots, especially when they are serene as the one I'm about to share with you...
Either that or it's the butterflies?! Maybe it's the butterflies?! Let's blame them...
The Flutterby Pose is a rare one that is available at the Spring Fling Gacha Event soon, and normally I wouldn't post before an item is available but the pose was just too cute to waste and it was such a stark contrast in Rudhishness from the Wolf Post before...
The reason I went so feminine in this post, in what could be described as a very unusual look for me, is purely and simply the dresses fault!
This dress was sent to me by Naenia Demonia of ImmateriA, who is currently working with the brilliant designer of a store called ]Ghost Story[... The dress is a very pretty example of what their minds are capable of... Super high quality textures, design and style ideas and a great price to boot, these dresses - available in three colours - can be found at Alchemy...
The Butterflies and the dress, such a girlie combination, and so totally different from my usual attire, it really makes me feel like Spring has Sprung!!
What is she wearing;
Hair: Clawtooth - La Bella Donna in Prize 10 (Past The Arcade Release)
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)
Face Wounds: Utopiah - Excessive Pain Makeup

Dress: ]Ghost Story[ - Myantha in Hyacinth (Available Now at Alchemy)
Pose: Image Essentials - Flutterby RARE (Coming Soon to Spring Fling Gacha)
The Arcade - unless you have been completely oblivious and have no idea what I am talking about, you may have noticed - is well underway... Up and running for the entire month of March... As always, it seems pretty brilliant and an understandable reason why people get so excited about it each and every time! It's like a feeding frenzy in a shark tank! It could have been handy for people looking to get interesting birthday gifts for me too - just sayin' lol - if I hadn't already been in and raided the place myself!
I LOVED collecting things for my little play house... This place takes me away to somewhere peaceful, somewhere fun and somewhere that I can just escape to play! So while I was setting out my new toys, I had a feeling that made me giggle, it was something akin to Dorothy's feelings as she arrived in Oz... I spend most of my time surrounded by bikers, this was a bit of "you're setting out cute toys, this seems totally opposite to normal" moment LOL...
As you can see though the entrance to my garden follows a wooden stump path - thanks to Alchemy by the way - that directs you towards my toy house! My garden has now been decorated with some awesome Lego style plastic looking flowers too. I know these aren't to everyone's taste but I couldn't resist the [tea.s] Block-ee Flowers. The inhabitants of this adorable place are plushie animals! They float in the breeze attached to balloons - such as the Fly Away Bear from Boogers - and are Petal Pals to the flowers - available from Intrigue Co at The Arcade - each smiling and giving a warm welcome to anyone who visits!
Whilst on my trip to this strange land, something rather weird happened to my dog! What started out as a perfectly normal looking Weenie Dog - bought just a few days ago from the SilentSparrow Pet Store, found at The Arcade - in our travel to this new found land he somehow became a Weenie Weenie Dog!
On my feet were a Rudhish style pair of "Ruby Slippers" - they'd be better described as Tropicano Heels in a bright magenta colour - from Bens Beauty, now off to skip down the wooden stump road!
So to the rest of my awesome "Not Kansas Anymore" outfit... Some of it is new, some old but I think the combination is just the right amount of kookie!
The dress I am wearing is one of the older things, but it's been stored neatly away until I can find it for a moment like this. It's a Somnia release called City Scape - in a Day pattern, there is also a Night version to match, and it comes with cloudy leggings.
Then I went to town with my accessories... The horns on my head were made of Pinkberry Ice Cream - that are available from Riske at the Luck of the Irish Gacha Fair - my lips are slicked with green lipstick and dusted with sprinkles, I knew I shouldn´t have made out with that donut - but thanks to Babysteps for letting cover their Skin Fair Release, the Baby Butter Lips! There is yet MORE yummies in the form of my (Yummy) Spec-tacular Edible Specs...
The only other thing that I took with me is a basket that I found when I landed, you never know when things like that might come in useful... You see it did with me, I found two Wonderland Pixicat Kittens that needed my help, I couldn't have taken them with me without the basket...

2015 is already well under way... It doesn't feel any different from a few days ago - although I am disappointed to remind everyone that 2015 is not as Back to the Future predicted - BUT I have spent the last two days shopping in SL to feed my January Sales addiction without actually hitting any sales LOL...
Surprisingly for me I haven't found myself heading into too many dark and depraved looks, if you can forget the hook picture from before LOL, but it's only day three of a new year, there's plenty of time for that yet!
One of those things that I had to have as soon as I saw it advertised was this sweater from INVADER. Now I will say that this is a totally new store for me, I've never heard of it before, I found it randomly through the past Fi*Friday event, and plan on heading over to hit up their main store very soon... Soon as I have some more cash that is hehe...
Though it wasn't only that that had me kawaii-ish excited... This new hair from Ploom, which you've seen here before, just seemed to fit so well with the look I was drawn towards. Although it was the accessories that really got me excited.
I've had the Seal Pup - from Alchemy - for a while now, they were available as gacha items, and I think this one was a gift from Jimmy. They come in a collection of different animal costumes, but seriously HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE A DUCKIE?!
The bag however, could get me into a little trouble... I'm SO LATE sharing this that I have a funny feeling that Iokko may spank my butt - although it's not punishment if you enjoy something hehe... The Pack's Trail - based on the Packman Game - are shoulder bags featuring the Packman Ghosts... These Ghost bags are available through the store yumyums - hence why it is Iokko that might spank me - but you can still grab them until January 5th at the Level Up's Retro line-up...
Damn look at the time I cannot stop to chat any longer, I NEED to finish my friend's wedding photos dammit... LOL... Toodles!!!
