Demoness Waits and Watches...

That's it folks, the Gators MC Halloween Event has officially closed it's doors for another year as of yesterday and MY GOODNESS I am so happy to finally see the doors close. Not that I didn't enjoy it, it was as always great fun to have open and to see the people visiting us really enjoy it, but it will be nice to get back to normal - not to mention have extra prims on the sim to play with hehe... 
The little Demoness in me is sad to see it close however, she knows that now I've had a chance to slip back into more normal clothes, the novelty of sharing my dead side has worn off for a little while. Yet she found a place she can be happy, and lay in waiting until she's allowed to play again... The dark pit of Hell at Night Gazing... 

Dressed to impress, as she needs to be able to make her new friends in the pit feel a little at east and eager to see her, not to mention that she wants to impress the big man himself, she pulled on a very seductive looking little black dress from Asteria - available until November 19th at KINKY - which allows her to show off her Draconic Scale markings and those impressive looking Spine Demon Thorns - from Nightmare and Goth1c0 - with a collar just in case she can become master's pet! 
Feeling safe from the demon hunters ridding the earth of the Halloween monsters, she is finally able to relax and listen to the sounds of screams, waiting until she's allowed to break out and run riot once more... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Arden in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2 
Leash: [Haste] - Come Closer Collar in Chrome 
Tattoo: Nightmare - Draconian Scales 
Wings: tentacio - Dark Call Me Gacha Item in Wings RARE

Pose: Signature Pose - Give Me Space 

Hell's Asylum Nursing Staff

I got so excited about it being October and that is partly because after MONTHS and MONTHS of work, the Gators MC Halloween Event is finally open... 
Hear the doors creak open at Hell's Asylum and the nightmares of the former inhabitants can still be found tormenting the spirits that live there... It's a dark and twisted place, home to one remaining young child. Question is should this child be freed or has the psychotic place infected their mind? 

Dare you enter the Gator Maze? 
Yes, you heard it correctly, the Gators MC Halloween Maze is back for the 5th year in a row and this time you'll get to see us in a totally new way! 
Bring friends, bring family, bring your enemies to feed them to the blood thirsty Gators!! There is only one way out... From now until November 5th, the Gator Maze is open... Find your way through the halls of the hospital, collect listed items in the Nightmare Rooms and win an awesome prize... 
You may even meet one of the nurses in there... Nurse Rudh, was formally a patient - she's the one with the fear of clowns - but if you see her RUN, she loves prepping patients for the doctors lobotomies...

Anyone wanna Ride with Me?

Taking a few minutes away from the monsters, because well that is getting just a little too scary LOL, I opened a box sent from one of the stores I blog for to find that they had made some very biker chick "Rebel" Poses for this month's BishBox, and well you know me being in an MC I couldn't resist taking the time to pose in this set! 

The pose is one from Come Soon, and as I said before it's been released in this month's BishBox, The pose prop includes multiple poses and is perfect for the rebellious amongst us. While Rudh's finally stopped to smoke a cigarette - dressed in her usual flawless biker chick style - I've decided to let you know about something that may be of interest to the bikers amongst you... 
You may or may not know this but Rudh is the Secretary of the Gators MC... Well, we're recruiting! I mean, looking for people that may be interested in joining an MC. It doesn't matter about if you've never ridden a motorbike in Second Life before - we can help you with that - but if you're looking for something new and fun and interesting to do, with a bunch of people that love hanging out and being silly, then maybe you should come check us out?! 
If you want to know something about the MC you can either comment here, contact me - Rudhmellowen Laguna - in world or drop by the Gators MC. You never know, you may find it something you love doing!

The Gators MC - Not your Average MC!

I was asked to do something fairly recently by members of the Gators MC that always makes me feel a little stressed... I love them all but working on a family picture always brings me out in hives! It needs to be something that people like, something that people want to share and something where everyone looks great, but there are things like make sure all the people that need to be there are where they need to be at the right time! It makes me stress even just thinking about taking it, so it's not something that I do every day! 
But it was time, and although I had to edit people in at a later date, the outcome worked and it looks pretty good!

I used a pose that has space for 10 different avatars called "Friends and Family" from Image Essentials - and yes before anyone says anything there are in fact 12 people shown in the photo above. I mentioned before that I had to photo-shop people who weren't present into the picture at a later date, and these were on separate pose balls which I have listed the details of below too. I also needed to make sure that HellBone - the MC President - was sat in the middle, and because the pose in the chair was very female I had to use another pose for that too... 
Now I know that this was a little cheeky, and I really hope that I don't get into any trouble with the Image Essentials team for adding in poses, I LOVED the pose and that was why I needed to make sure that this was the one that the Gators used, but I needed more than 10 people and a manly pose in the middle. 
So that you can see the way the pose is created by Kay - of Image Essentials - I am including the original ad and will say that this is one of the great poses that Kay has made which is perfect for a lot of people. If you need large group poses, I always recommend Image Essentials, and no that's not me sucking up LOL!!! 

What is in the Photo;
Main Pose: Image Essentials - Friends and Family Pose 
Male Middle Seated Pose: Come Soon - The Alpha Pose 4 
Male Left Kneel Pose: S1- Bonus MP (No Longer Available!) 
Female Back Third From Left Pose: Image Essentials - Ragnar Pose 4 

Join the Gator Conga

Ever thought about joining a family that not only spend a lot of time doing crazy random stuff, but also ride bikes? Ever thought about being in an MC? Well maybe I have some interesting news for you!
The Gators MC - yes my crazy SL family - are opening it's doors to welcome in new members, and maybe if you answered yes to my questions before, the Gators MC might be the perfect place for you. We're a bunch of somewhat bonkers, rude as all heck but genuinely caring group of people, that hang out daily and once a week descend on another MC Highway to cause a little chaos. 
If this idea nags at your attention, even just a little bit, maybe you should read on and find out more... 

It's always party time at the Gators MC, even when we are just hanging out and doing nothing much, it feels like a fun place to be. Last night - for example - a Conga broke out to welcome our new prospect Brandon, I say Conga - because the pose is an Image Essentials Conga Line - but I was actually stuck singing Kylie Minogue's Locomotion.
Now I have already kinda hinted that the MC are recruiting, and as there are SO MANY MCs in SL, it's time for the shameless pitch full of information as to why you may want to be a Gator... Being the organised Secretary that I am, you'll notice, bullet points LOL...
❀ A LOT of MCs pride themselves on a "family feel" yet here at the Gators we want you to feel welcome from the moment you land and start hanging out. We do not haze - which loosely translates to anyone outside the MC world as "publicly ridicule to earn respect" - unless we're all doing it to each other and laughing about it, and we give everyone the right to have a voice - everyone no matter the rank in the MC has the right to speak and the opinions of a Prospect matter just as much as that of the President!
❀ No matter your level of skill at riding a motorbike you will never be left behind. We ride as a family, we stick together as a family and even if you've never been on a motorbike before there will always be someone there to help you out. If you want to learn, we are willing to teach!
❀ As a Worldwide bunch of people, we have people in various time zones, so you're usually able to find someone online to talk to at any time of the day or night... Though I will warn you at the moment the MC is mostly Americans and Dutchies - the British are beginning to take over slowly however LOL!!
❀ We are not a Role Play MC and therefore do not get involved with fighting and politics between MCs very often. We have close friends and allies in the MC world, but we're the kinda group that try to earn respect by being respectful. When we go for a ride, as an example, we're always very considerate of the wishes of the sims owners, even if we are trying to push each other off the road for laughs!
If you're interested at all, please feel free to come and visit us - Gators MC - or send me a message in world. You never know, today might be the start of something fun?! Even though I have been singing the Locomotion, are you ready to do the Conga?! LOL...

What pose are they using;
Pose: Image Essentials - Conga Line

The Girl in Pet Semetary - A Gators MC Maze Special!

Well we finally did it! It's here, it's open to the public and it's better than any we've had in years gone by. The MC worked super hard and pulled out all of the stops this year to create something devious and scary, and so far everyone seems to be loving it... It's a dark haunted place full of the odd scare and even some very special VIP characters that you may well recognise, so if you're looking for something fun to do - although I know there are HEAPS of things to do - maybe you want to check out the Gators MC 4th Annual Halloween Event!
Of course for me Halloween is the best time of the year to play dress up... There are so many new events opening that appeal to my darker Dead Doll side that I cannot help myself but be overly excited! I'm like a kid in a Candy Store or a teenage girl with VIP access to  the latest teen idols - squealing with excitment and running around like a headless chicken in case you were wondering! Having the maze for me is a bonus as I have ready made horror sets at my fingertips LOL...

The first of these "sets" is actually the maze entrace... Pet Semetary is our opening location this year and instead of scary animals - with the exception of the odd Gator - you may well find that there are more parties than nasties here this year.
My first dead girl look was something that kinda paired with HellBone chosen outfit... We were the keepers of the Semetary - he a monstrous undertaker, me the dead girl that collected the pets, and I was followed everywhere by a little black cat!
I have to admit that for me and my little Dead Doll look this is fairly simple lol... I fell head over heels in love with the new Besom hair called "New Girl" - which is available now at SALEM, an event that is by far one of my favourite seasonal shopping events this year - and the whole outfit was built around it... It went well withe dress I found - an oldie but still a goodie - from Corvus, coated with blood, lots and lots of blood, and a Noose from Remarkable Oblivion.
Then I took the deadly kitten - from Jian - that is awakend by Pet Semetary for a walk through the graveyard, before heading into the dark...
Dare you "Get Bitten in the Dark!", or are you too chicken?! You never know who you will meet in the Pet Semetary Catacombs!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Besom - New Girl in Reds (Available until October 31st at SALEM)

Off to see the Wizard!

As I hinted last night in my Wine'O'Clock post, this weekend has been one of parties for me - since Thursday LOL - and today I am going to relax... Nothing to do but take things easy and maybe sleep a little more as it seems to have cooled down here a little. 
As I may also have mentioned before we were partying for my MC Sister and awesome friend Solde, who turns old this weekend, we had 5 events for her birthday, and the last was the most awesome... Least I think so anyway... The last party we had a little trip to one of her favourite places... OZ! 

HellBone built a special Oz themed ballroom complete with a tornado, munchkins and of course a yellow brick road, so that Solde could become her favourite movie character for just a little while...
As she walked towards Oz with her little HellBone Toto, she was joined by a fabulous Scarecrow, a glamorous Tin Man (Woman) and a Lion with a lot of RAWR, and we all skipped into Oz together... The ladies of the Gators MC!
These costumes are amazing... The best Oz character costumes that I have seen out there, and trust me I looked through a LOT before I found these. I wanted the boys to be the characters with Solde, but it just wasn't working... The costumes were simply not good enough... Then I found these! They are from Lamu Fashion and not only are they perfect - giving Oz that hint of glamour - they had all four characters and it looks like we belong together! Each outfit comes with everything you could possibly need, besides hair and skins of course, now I will admit that we each personalised things a little but for the price you pay they are great! 

What is she wearing;
(All of the costumes used are from the same store, please see the name and URL in my outfit list. For details about the accessories, hairs or Hell's Avatar ask me!)
Hair: TRUTH - Velma in Reds
Skin: Glam Affair - Melanie in Asia in 05
Costume: Lamu Fashion - Outfit Costume in The Tin Man, The Wizard of OZ 
Boots: [MODA] - Tessa Knee High Boots 
Pose: Embody Pose - TIGHT KNIT (No Longer Available!)

Who knew... Magic Potions actually work?!

A few days ago I talked about Magic Potions, and tried making one of my own with some rather dubious looking ingredients... I NEVER THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK!!! Actually, it didn't for the first few tries but then yesterday I tried it one last time, and put just a small drop in my tea. As I went out to walk the dog - minding my own business as I wandered through the streets, I was almost run over by a hot guy on a motorbike.... The Magic must have been working as rather than ending up in serious pain, I ended up being kissed by that hot biker... Gotta love magic - and SL for being safe to ride in without a helmet hehe...

This isn't actually a new love in my life - no one panic, Hell and I are still good - but I needed a male model and well Chopper is a damn good male model... 
The outfits are not that important within the overall picture... They are both very simple - a little denim, some boots and something black up top, kinda couple his and hers versions which is scary LOL... 
The entire reason behind this photo - other than well OK kissing Chopper sounds like a fun idea - is this awesome pose from Come Soon Poses, which was released at a past but recent round of Suicide Dollz... Yes I know I am running behind but the Gators birthday got in the way and then I had some RL to deal with! As always with a Come Soon Pose you get everything shown here, Chopper and myself being the only exclusions to that of course! It's one of the things I love most about Come Soon, you get the background set up too, which makes for such easy photoshoots!!! 

What is she wearing;
Rudh:
Hair: Magika - Jupiter Crash 
Skin: Glam Affair - Luna Skin in Asia 
Tattoo: [White Widow] - Chocolat in Black  
Top: Apple May Designs - Tied Tops in Black 
Shorts: Blueberry - Lola Shorts in Ocean 
Boots: J's - Studded Long Boots in Black 
Chopper:
Vest: Only available to Gators MC Members
Jeans: REDGRAVE - HeavyUsed Jeans & Belt in ClassicCut
Boots: Drakke - "Durango" Cowboy Half Boots in Black 
Pose: Come Soon - Kiss the Rider

What would but What will as 2016 rolls in...

Well it's the last day of December, the last day of 2015 and I am in a cottage in the woods with very limited internet access and a mother-in-law that could be tied to the nearest tree if she keeps making some of the stupid complaining comments that she has been making since we arrived... 
It's weird, I've only been away from SL for a few hours but I miss everyone in it already... Tonight should be one that you spend partying with friends and having a great time... Something like this perhaps...

A fun night out with the girls of the Gators would be a damn good idea right now... Dancing, a few drinks, and a fun night in a biker bar... The pose is one from Come Soon Poses called Friday Night - that you can grab at the Erotigacha. I love a biker bar, you never need to dress up too much like a girlie girl, you can be yourself and that is just what we did! Or should I say would do, if I was at home and able to be there with the girls... 
My New Years Eve will possibly be more relaxing, something a little more like this...

Putting my feet in a hot soothing foot bath - in this case courtesy of the one from Tres Blah - and chillaxing in my jammies. I'm reading a damn good book and the bed here isn't too bad, so I guess that is all I need... Maybe a gag for my Mum-in-Law too?! 
Anyway, whatever you are doing tonight, please have a Happy New Year and may there be many wishes that can come true in 2016. Be safe out there, and remember have a drink for me... I'm stuck, trapped in a cottage with the complainer of doom hehe...

What is she wearing;
(I haven't listed all the things that the girls are wearing in this photo with me, but if you want to know anything in particular please feel free to ask and I will find out... I didn't want to bore you with an epic clothing list LOL!)

My Crazy MC Family...

I've finally finished it, the Gators MC has finally got a newly updated photograph of the family...
I enjoy my family in SL, we're a crazy bunch of nutcases that love spending time together and feels good to know that I've always got someone I can lean on. It's not always happiness and sunshine, there are the usual family style fights and people do come and go, but this lot keep me on my toes trying to organise them so it's time for another shout out about the crazy family I keep!

It seems to make people happy if I manage to create a new one every 6 months or so, and as the last one had a fair few people missing this time around I wanted to make sure that the whole family was included... I didn't do a bad job of that, unfortunately 2 of our ladies are on a break from SL - we miss you Tila and Joy by the way! - so there was no way that I could have gotten them into the shot, but I even managed to catch Charlie!! OH MY GOSH I caught the lesser spotted Charlie!
Perhaps I should give you a quick introduction and make sure everyone in the family has a name LOL...
Holding up the frame - a pose prop from Image Essentials by the way - are MeGa and G-Man... MeGa, on the left, is the Gators MC Sgt@Arms - a fancy term for the MC's head of security - and G-man, on the right, is one of our Road Captains - it's the road captain's job to plan any ride outs that the family goes on and luckily thanks to Mr. G we get to go on a lot!
Then running from left to right at the bottom is Gator - the MC's Piggy Bank - Kris - one of our Enforcers - Me, Chopper - another of our Road Captain's although he's currently relaxing laying down -  and Lil and Blake - a mother son dynamic duo of Mentors that guide any new people into the family. Then behind, again from left to right, are Charlie, KaraD, Meri, Solde - the one who plans the parties - my Son Athrun, my Hubby HellBone, his "Hubby" Mongo - another of our awesome Enforcer team - and Fyre, who is standing on a step ladder yes because she's our MC short person... LOL I wanted to say midget but that wouldn't be very nice... She's just a little vertically challenged that's all!
Each of them makes up a part of my daily life... I'm closer to some than others - Lil is my daily shopping cohort for example - but each of them has does play an active role in my SL, even if they are there to frustrate the heck out of me LOL...
Life would be quieter - easier too probably - without them but it would likely be less fun too, as much as they annoy me sometimes, they are family and have become an integral part of my SL! If you're interested in finding out more about the Gators MC then either check out our blog OR ask me... I know we're Gators but I don't bite unless asked nicely! You never know, you might find somewhere you love to hang out, being a biker is fun, being a biker in this 'special' family is better!

A Maze of Witchy Magic

It's finally here, it's finally open, and we'd love to welcome anyone and everyone to the 3rd Annual Halloween Gator Maze!

The event runs from now until November 3rd, with an awesome performance by Storm Diesel on October 30th and a closing party Tribute Show from Rob Zombie! 
We also have a hunt running through the maze... 12 Awesome Freebies stashed inside varying sizes of pumpkin, hidden in some of our nightmares... Clothes, décor, gestures and vehicles will be found and lots of fun can be had, so if you love this kind of thing don't miss out on the Gators Maze this Halloween! 
Of course we opened with a party - a fancy dress party no less - so of course I caused havoc in my brain trying to decide what to wear... Luckily two of my favourite stores came to the rescue!

The hat and hair was one of my rescue ideas... A new release as a subscriber gift from Magika, the Sorcery hair comes attached to this gorgeous little witchy hat in a shocking green colour, yet if you decide to buy the new hair release - which you will no doubt see here soon because I loved it hehe - then the HUD can be used to colour this hair, hence why mine is not green! 
Then once I had the idea of a witch in my head, Schadenfreude sealed the deal! These Bug-a-Boo shoes, a MIX release, are gorgeous and perfect for any little witch! I originally chose them in red, but I dunno the black just drew me in too so I have two awesome pairs hehe... 
It was then a matter of putting pretty things together to form the perfect little witch costume... The dress is one from Moon Amore, that was available at the last round of Collabor88, but should be retired to the mainstore soon... I loved the Andarial dress so much but I warn you it's SHORT!! So don't forget your panties ladies! My broom is an older one from Impish, and I'm not sure if it's still available anymore, but the best of my accessories has to be my new Kitten friend! The Goodbye Kittens are from SWaGGa at this latest round of The Fantasy Collective and as soon as I saw him there looking more than a little cold and skinny I had to take him home! 
Now that you've seen my outfit, COME SEE MY MAZE!!! You know you want to!!! 

What is she wearing;
Hat & Hair: Magika - Sorcery (Current Subscriber Gift) 
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 
Wounds: antielle - The Alchemical Transformation
Collar: [Forge] - Chained Rose in Crimson 
Shoulder Pet: [SWaGGa] - Goodbye Kitten in Skinned (Available until October 15th at The Fantasy Collective)

Shoes: Schadenfreude - Bug-a-Boo Shoes (Available until October 31st for Mix) 
Pose Prop: Impish - Flying Broom in Morrigan Series 1 RARE 

Gators... More than just an MC...

The Gators MC... My SL family... Yes we are a Motorcycle Club - one of million, it seems, in the SL world - but from what I know of these other places, we seem different, more than just your average MC... We are a truly tight-knit family... 

So when it came to time for a new family photograph I decided that I wanted to do something a little different. In the past and in so many other MC member photos, you see posed - almost staid - photographs where people look a little uncomfortable! I wanted to do something that showed off the familiar bond between each of the members in the group. 

This isn't the entire group, some people were missing due to RL commitments, but it gives you a definite idea of our family dynamic... Chilling out, the couples being couply - with the exception of Hell and I because well he is better off with his "son" while I try to avoid my Mum Kara's amourous display with MeGa lol... 
I will say that you're lucky you didn't hear the conversation topic while the photo was being taken... This time it was a debate over were we watching Star Wars - Ath and Hell's choice - or was it Finding Nemo - which to be honest, at least it wasn't Frozen LOL... 
Still, the pose prop itself was the brand new Movie Night Skybox from Consignment, which you can grab for yourself at Uber. I did have to add an extra pillow, in the form of this Brown Lounge Pillow from [we're CLOSED], but that's only because I had one too many butts hehe... The Skybox happily seats 9 people! 
Still I really love the idea of this photo, a crazy group hanging out in a cute setting watching movies, that sums the Gators MC up pretty well most of the time, and so I say this here because I am cheeky like that... If you are looking for an MC, and want to check us out, there are two great ways... First check the Gators MC Blog, or the Second and BETTER option, come meet us at our Home!!! 

What are they wearing; 
(To find out about individual looks, if you want to know PLEASE ask me... I would have a nightmare listing everything LOL) 
Pose Prop: Consignment - Movie Night Sky Box (Available Now at Uber) 
Bean Bag: [we're CLOSED] - Lounge Pillow in Brown (Past Cosmopolitan Release) 

Spring is in the Air, Couples pop up everywhere....

So it seems that Spring is in the air, that feeling of romance is taking a hold and couples are springing up everywhere LOL... It's not just me that has mentioned the Spring Thing... My sister Solde mentioned that her maternity collection is suddenly seeing a lot of attention too!
Still, I have been surrounded by new couples this week... It's like I cannot move without getting in the way of their soppy, cuteness... Not that it's a bad thing, but both HellBone and I have reached for a sick bucket in the last couple of days LOL...
It does however promote a prime opportunity for me to both practice my photo skills, whilst showing off some of the new poses from Signature Pose... Just have to hope that the crazy looking Photo Bomber doesn't get in the way of the shots?!

Tila and Mongo were spotted sneaking off into the bushes together LOL, and she really doesn't look pleased that I spotted them... I decided that it was better to keep my head down and let them gaze "Into the Sunset" together...

I jumped on my noble steed and rode away from the TilaMongo Tryst heading on down the road... Well hello what is this that I spied in one corner... My adopted Mum - long story and it may come out later lol - KaraD and her new man-shaped play thing, LittleOutlaw. Of course, me being a little brat I had to get in the way of their posing for a photograph, mum was all "Hold me Close" and I was like BLEHHHHHHHHH... Oh well Hi-Ho Silver, AWAY!!!

I went in search of people that weren't going to be soppy new couples... AH HA, my little brother Athrun I thought... When I found him, he and his lady Shery were having a bit of a romantic reunion of their own, something like "One Night in Paris" perhaps?... Dammit... LUCKILY there was a handy Frozen cardboard box close-by that I could just curl up in, until the sickly sweetness stopped and I could sneak away...
But what was I going to do with myself... All of my usual people to annoy were busy doing couples things... THEN I REMEMBERED MAY OLD KITE!!!

I was being good, just minding my own business of kite flying, when it dragged me across the sim... There have been some very strong wings blowing across the Netherlands in the past few days! It wasn't my fault... But OH BUGGER! I accidentally got caught in a very special moment for my big sister Solde and big brother Chopper - OK yes I know it sounds weird but it's Biker family, not incest LOL - and well Oh crap I'm in big trouble now...
I hid in the clubhouse and waited to be told off by the disgruntled couples LOL... Solde passed me a sick bucket and that was luckily all the telling off I got... PHEW... I dodged a bullet on that one...

BTW... Tila and Mongo are not a couple! They were two bodies that were hanging around at the time of the photo session. Tila is another of my Biker sisters and Mongo happens to be a stalker from the DDMC lol... Both did make awesome models however!
OH AND Solde and Chopper are not getting engaged, although she did try to cause a bit of a stir on facebook with the photo... At least not yet anyway, who knows what the future holds!
Thank you to all of the lovely couples, thank you for letting me photo bomb you LOL...

You know how it is, or at least this is how it is for me anyway, you get up from your nice warm snuggly bed and the first thing that comes to mind is "ARGH GOTTA PEE!!"
I got out of bed this morning and had to run down the stairs - which is pretty perilous in our RL house as Dutch stairs are steep and narrow!! - grabbing at clothing on the way so I could get ready for work without waking his lordship, and for those of you that are interested, made it to the potty on time LOL...
When I sat at my desk at work, wondering which post I wanted to write today, this was the perfect one that sprung to mind... I'd taken a photo of an early morning SL dash to the loo... Weird aren't I? LOL...

This does sum up things pretty well though, I mean Rudh, like me this morning, grabs the first clothes that she can find before her mad dash across the road to the Gators MC out house! Hoping that HellBone hasn't been in there first!
Today the skirt - from Sn@tch - matched the top, but the socks didn't match the outfit OR each other LOL... Whoops!!!
The socks, grabbed from a pile, are mis-matched but it isn't until after the dash that she notices. Her left leg is encased in a Biddy Sock, the pretty little wings decorating the back, while the right leg has a Kitty Paw Sock that were once available from Love Zombie - unfortunately no longer since the store closed!
The photo not only points out her odd socks, but also gives you a perfect look at her leg tattoos that you so often do not see from this angle! The right leg is one that has been shown from the front before - a garter style tattoo called Sex OldWest from PerveTTe, and my left with it's new ink is a Measurement Tattoo from Gang/Cold. I saw this one advertised on the Seraphim coverage of Whore Couture Fair and HAD to get my hands on it. It made me laugh... There is a story, let me share it with you... Sometimes my hubby tends to be a little ignorant of things around him. One day some of our circle of friends were standing around talking and he randomly - on voice - says to me "Babe do you always dress like a Slut?" He was lucky he didn't get a smack, but I laughed and can now say, "You might wanna check the measurement before you call me a Slut" LOL...

Shots of those around me...

When it comes to taking photos I am always more confident at taking personal shots of myself... I'm a snap happy photographer and pride myself on being a photographing ninja that can usally catch photos of the crazy things that go on around me, but when it comes to taking posed photos of other people, I tend to get more than a little nervous.
It's not that I don't like taking pictures of other people... I love the fact that I can play at being a photographer, pretend I know what I'm doing and try to make something pretty that fits what they are looking for. I also love the fact that it means I am not staring at myself LOL... 
In the last few days, I've been snap happy, people have been asking me to take their pictures... I decided I'd share some of them with you! 

Keira is the model-in-training of the Gators MC. She's following in the well educated footsteps of Solde, and seems to be doing such a good job of it she's well ahead of her class! Now, recently she bought me such an awesome present - the gift of my own photography studio - I had to use her as the test model. On the day we chose, she was in a melancholy mood and wanted something a little bit dark and sad!!! The photo above was the result of this session hehe... 
The one below however, came about because of a purchase I'd made LOL... 

Now I am not sure if I mentioned it, but we had a bit of an Auction, in which the Gators MC were going up for sale to raise money for the BACA in RL. One of the purchases that I made on that day was for the very lovely - but prone to call me "Hooker Lady" - CharlieBumBum! He didn't even know he was going up for sale, that was the organising of his wife, but I tortured him for days about his "date" with me... Luckily for Charlie I let him off the hook... I had the PERFECT poses from Image Essentials that seemed fit for Charlie's Cowboy sense of style!!! So his date was being used as a photography prop LOL...

My Sister Sussie, had been shown the photo I took of Keira in the photobooth, and she came to ask me if I would try to make a Profile picture of her... Now I was getting nervous again, because OK if I'm taking pictures of people as I did with Charlie - for my own personal use - then fine I can do what I want with them, but Sussie is a MODEL... She has been photographed by some VERY well known photographers and I nearly passed out while taking this I was nervous... I shook... But I LOVE what happened with the finished picture and so does she it seems!! 

Chopper was another person that asked me too, what is it with people asking me for pictures lately it NEVER happens normally lol... He had randomly found the Gators MC one day when HellBone and Jimmy were in the midst of a Dinosaur Fight, but I am pleased to say that he kept hanging around and even wanted to be a part of the family... I took a collection of different pictures of Chopper but this one has to be my favourite. I love the crazy looking bike he is riding, I love the look of the photo in general but I have to say that Chopper is definitely the best looking thing in it LOL - I had to say that, he would be sad if I didn't LOL... 

As you can see Chopper has REALLY gotten into the spirit of being a Gator... HellBone had tried to win me a Pixicat Wonderland Kitten from The Arcade this week whilst he was hunting for DRD items, and ended up with dresses. These dresses somehow - I think I might have dared them but I don't remember I was laughing too hard - ended up being worn by not only HellBone and Chopper, they lured little Panda Athrun to the dark side and made him dress up too!!! The the posing began, thanks to a pretty hippy girl pose I had from Image Essentials LOL... Our MC doesn't need to Haze the prospects, they are too busy hazing themselves LOL...
That's a little look at what has been keeping me busy, there is a lot more to come but I LOVED these enough that I wanted to show them off... I really hope you don't mind. OH and if you want anything you can see them using in these pictures please feel free to ask and I will find out where things come from for you!!!

"But you said to collect the Shells?"

Recently on Flickr I posted a photo that I had taken of a large group of rough looking "soldiers"... It was a group photo, a bit of a memory if you will, for a large group of people that are very close to our SL family, The Gators MC! Let me fill you in a little more clearly lol...
One of the things that happens with MCs - that's Motorcycle Clubs for those of you that think I'm rambling total rubbish by the way - is that alliances are made between different clubs. Basically meaning one family, not that family is the right term for all MCs but it is definitely the case for ours, will suddenly grow and find themselves surrounded by an extended family. Now, all aspects of MC life, no matter how serious these groups think they are, is that it is all about roleplay. Some, like us, spend their time goofing off - OK maybe that is JUST us - but some rp as if they are real and fight with others. Hence why, even though we never get involved with that kind of rubbish, we do have allies around us.
A few weeks ago now, the Gators were approached by one of these groups and asked to host a surprise leaving party for one of their members. The one leaving was Eugene... He is like an annoying little brother to me, so how could we say no. It was to be army themed, because he was going away to Bootcamp for a few months... So, I had another excuse to get dressed up!!!

I thought, knowing me, that I needed to make a joke out of this photo somehow LOL... SO in my head this crazy scenario played out while I was setting up the shot, in which TA Wylder - President of the Mad Dogs MC, the one that Eugene was part of - asked me to go collect the shells... He wasn't specific, and I'm a bit blonde LOL... Hence why, I went to the beach on a detour and collected a bucket of seashells, which if you're lucky you may also be able to buy ready collected from Cute Bytes!
The rest of the outfit was as in army style, and wearing camoflague, as I was going to get. Its not something I have in my hoard and not something that I really like, but this outfit including the arm warmers from Corvus, was good enough to make me smile!
I pulled my hair up into a lazy up-do, and then went to town on the accessories. Adding a used bullet casing earring from Remarkable Oblivion to one ear, and a military bullet leg strap from DIRTYLAND to one leg, with a finishing tought being a pair of over the knee socks from League and some Military Aviators boots from FLite! My look for the military was complete, and I really hope it wouldn't offend!

All that was left for our extended family, is to wish Eugene lots of luck at Bootcamp, and hope he comes home safely. What a rabble our extended family makes, not that I would name them all but this lot is a collection of Gators MC, Mad Dogs MC, Death Dealers MC and Broken Skull MC... We don't look like scary bikers, we're far too cute and cuddly looking huh?!
