I am one of those bloggers that gets sent things and as soon as I get them I start to worry that I have run out of inspiration and will let someone down if I don't use things in a photo. I know that shouldn't be the case, as it's times like that in which I will make things that I am not happy with but when an idea comes to me easily it's great... When an idea doesn't strike me like lightning, I begin to panic!! This was one of those times, I received items from brocante, and then started to worry that I'd be letting a friend down by not blogging the items *facepalms* I need to relax more... Then pictures will just happen naturally, and the results will be better than I had thought...
As is the case with this one... I actually like how this turned out, and I guess that is the most important thing! The props in the photo that I have come from the store brocante - the collaboration between the owners of floorplan and Consignment - and these were event releases a while ago, I couldn't remember which event but they were in an event... Sorry I cannot be more specific... They are available with the brocante collection at it's main store area now however! Luckily they make an awesome prop to just pose with in a cute outfit, and I do really love this outfit!!! It's a Baby Doll Dress in a Sheer Silver colour that was a past Suicide Dollz release from R A N S O M, and it is so cute! But you HAVE to wear panties with it unless you plan on staying in your own home ladies hehe... I accessorised the pretty dress with some heavier style jewellery including one of my favourite collars from [ abrasive ] and the DO NOT PRESS Button Necklace from BAMSE, It wasn't what I initially thought the outcome of this set of items would achieve but I really like it in the end... Sometimes it's surprising what you can create right?! What is she wearing; Hair: Truth - Shaylee in Reds Skin: Glam Affair - Luna Skin in Asia Collar: [ abrasive ] - Loose Belt Choker in Black Necklace: BAMSE - Button Necklace in DO NOT PRESS RARE Tattoo: [White Widow] - Chocolat in Black Dress: R A N S O M - Baby Doll Dress in Sheer Silver Pose: PRETENSE - Linger 4 Ladder: brocante. - Leaning Ladder Light: brocante. - Hanging Cage Light in Red
Not a traditional nursery rhyme by any stretch of the imagination, but it was definitely one of those adorable little songs that my mum used to sing to me, and one that I will no doubt sing to any children I may have in the future - not that I am having any, it's not on my agenda - and since those early days I have always loved flowers... Daisies - and sunflowers - being my favourites, so much so that I had them in my RL wedding bouquet! So when I bought something at the latest round of Fi*Friday this weekend, I couldn't get the song out of my head... This may help that, then again, it may make it worse... I had to play with flowers... Had to...
The whole reason that this look started life was because of an outfit that I'd grabbed randomly as I flew through this round of Fi*Friday - I mentioned that before - but now I will admit that it wasn't something I'd normally have chosen... It's from a store called Bish Whet, and comes in a variety of different designs, though of course I grabbed the daisies as I headed in the direction of the shoe department! I then went to town on accessories, as per usual... I wore an old but so pretty necklace from AZE Designs called Forest Treasures - it come's as part of a set but I chose to wear just the necklace on this occasion - then I added a Daisy Choker from [Buzzeri]. Finally to complete the look I chose to wear a hairstyle that was a little different from my normal long flowing locks. I chose a short, choppy one -sided style, that is a brand new release from adoness for The Dark Style Fair 2. I laced a Maiden Daisy Wreath from Shar's through this choppy half-bob and it just seemed to look perfect... So perfect and serene that whilst I was taking my photographs, I was messaged someone that really put a smile on my face... Not naming names but the conversation went as follows; [01:34] Mr Stranger - at Ode: hmmm... are you a flower? [01:35] Me: do I look like a flower? [01:35] Mr Stranger: yes somehow you do YAY I look like a flower hehehe!
What is she wearing; Hair Wreath - Shar's - Maiden Daisy Hair: adoness - Loki (Available Now at The Dark Style Fair 2) Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item) Piercing: Cute Poison - Genera Piercing Collar: [Buzzeri] - Daisy Choker in Natural (Past Event Release) Necklace: AZE Designs - Forest Treasures Dewdrop Necklace (Past Event Release) Outfit: Bish Whet Inc - Peep Show in Clear Fleur *(Past Fi*Friday Release) Pose: PRETENSE - Flowered 1
During the week I don't get to have much of a lay-in, I am up most days at 6am, so when the weekend comes around I try to sleep for a little longer. Never normally managing more than about 10am, but boy does that feel like heaven. This weekend though HellBone was due to be doing some stuff in RL... When that man gets up, I swear it's like a herd of elephants dancing through the room, then the cussing starts as he can't find his underwear, keys, MC Vest - you name it, he will have misplaced it! Thus I was awake, and it was too early, so what did I do? I couldn't go back to sleep - I'm one of those people that can't fall back to sleep once I'm awake - I logged into SL of course... Can you guess what time it was? My photo will give you a little clue LOL...
YESSSSS, it was The Witching Hour! Midnight SLT... Although that did make me giggle as while I was there I started to work on my - I guess you could call it - Witching Hour based Look of the Day! I know I never wanted to do these in the past, but they are so useful when you have an outfit and want to share it... That said though I won't be stepping on the territory of the fashionista bloggers lol... Seeing as this is what I am doing now, let's take a look at what I have here huh?! I went over to The Witching Hour location to snap this photo, and check out just how cute everything looks... My outfit is comprised of two different outfit sets from two participating designers of the round, and I really hope that they don't mind me mixing and matching their outfits... As it's a whole Mish Mash of things, let me start with something non-Witching Hour. The hair is one of my new favourites from Magika, it's a little Farrah Fawcett than I might normally have chosen, but I really liked it when I tried it on.. It HAD to be mine! Though it is the clothing and accessories that need to be discussed more than the hair lol... The glasses added to that Farrah Fawcett look, and hid my tired eyes too. They are available in the gacha machine from AfterMath Creations. Their items come together to form an outfit called "Bite Me Valentine", and I used a few bits from this collection to make this look... Let me see, the glasses, the necklace, the belt and the black jeans are all available from this collection! The dress, and in fact a choker that seems to have kinda disappeared a little - though is more obvious when you see the picture bigger in Flickr - are parts of the " Enchanted Flurries" collection from Brick-A-Brack. The dresses come in 4 different colours, and there are adorable snowmen too, but I didn't want to subject a poor snowman to the harsh heat of the witch burning fire at The Witching Hour HQ... This isn't Frozen you know, he would melt! Don't miss out on the chance to grab these, and other awesome things from The Witching Hour this month... You don't have long now until it's over! What is she wearing; Hair: Magika - Lemon Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item) Dress & Upper Choker: Brick-A-Brack - Enchanted Flurries Items (Available Now at The Witching Hour) Sunglasses, Necklace, Belt & Jeans: AfterMath Creations - Bite Me Valentine Items (Available Now at The Witching Hour) Pose: PRETENSE - Dead Sexy 3
A challenge was issued... Well OK maybe not so much of a challenge but a certain designer - *coughs* Aggie MacTavish *coughs* - thought that she would be challenging me by creating some of the brightest and prettiest rainbow coloured skins and eyes for the recent line up of Totally Top Shelf... Time for me to prove that I'm not allergic to colours LOL... While I'm doing that, I dug through some of the releases that I had received from this month's line-up of The Witching Hour... It just all fell together so well I did a happy dance and thought "that will show her" LOL...
Let's start by talking about the items that Miss MacTavish sent from her Totally Top Shelf release. For those of you that don't know, Aggie MacTavish is the owner of [Stargazer Creations], and for the event she has created a series of gorgeous, rainbow coloured skins - called Ethereal Elementals - with mystical markings all over the body. However, it is not just pretty skins that you can get your grubby little mits on, OH NO... You can also find these amazing Space Eyes, which come in matching jewel tones for the skins!!! The hair I wore with it is a special colour of the newest release from Exile, called Windsong, which is available at Collabor88 for the Unicorn Dreams line up! The other accessories are brand new and rather gorgeous releases for The Witching Hour... The Dru Necklace or Earrings come in sets, available in the Gacha machine from Cyrious. They come in sets of two colours per prize, and each include 4 different metal colours! To go with this mystical look I had one last finishing touch, the new piercings from ImmateriA are Secret Charms... Each of the Septum piercings are prefect for bringing luck for different things... I've been feeling very low lately, so I chose Rebirth... I hope it helps! From now on I'll let the spirits guide me, if they look as pretty as this then I would follow them anywhere lol... Aren't I modest?! But, I have just one last thing to say... HAHAHAHAHAHA I wore a bright skin and I didn't faint Aggie LOL... Gotta try better than that to beat me missus!!! *hugs* What is she wearing; Hair: Exile - Windsong In Special Edition (Available Now for Collabor88) Skin: [Stargazer Creations] - Ethereal Elementals in Gossamer (Available Now at Totally Top Shelf) Eyes: [Stargazer Creations] - Space Eyes in Teal and Orange (Available Now at Totally Top Shelf) Piercing: ImmateriA - Secret Charm in Rebirth (Available Now at The Witching Hour) Necklace & Earrings: +Cyrious+ - Dru Jewelry Set (Available Now at The Witching Hour) Pose: PRETENSE - Dead Sexy 3
I saw them and had to have them, then I saw the others and had to have those too... Never did I think I'd wear them together but when I was playing around with looks for them, they just seemed to work... Then as if by magic the rest of my accessories - and in fact entire look - just seemed to come together with a magical swoosh. I love it when things like that happen, I don't know about you, but I can spend HOURS and HOURS looking through the warehouse that is my SL wardrobe wondering what to wear on any day. I've gotten lazy in my SL old age and, unlike when I was younger, I now save changing so it is less than a daily occurrence... Though sometimes I get inspired when I buy things, I need to create something a little different, and that is just what happened here.. My love of playing Dress-Up took over, this was the result...
Somewhat Demonic I felt, but then at the same time, maybe more like a sprite than a demon... The whole look started with two very different pairs of horns... The first set I bought was the Horror's Dream set from The Horror - and available now at One Word - and I knew from the moment that I saw these posted on Flickr that I HAD to have them... Call it love at first sight LOL... The set includes a HUD for easy colouring of eyes and horns, but what I love about it most is the colours... The blue for example - as seen here - is almost peacock feather like with its barely there flicks of green and purple... The second set are all about opulence... They can be found at the current round of UBER - with a theme this month of luxuriousness - from the store [CerberusXing]. These were another love the moment I saw them, I knew I couldn't leave the event without a pair LOL... Best part of these gorgeous horns is that they can be worn with less chains and without the septum piercing, so they are fairly versatile! Once I had the horns in place, everything else was just so much fun to put together... I KNEW I couldn't look human with two sets of horns like this, so I just delved deep into the wardrobe and in the skins folder I found one of my favourite sets... The [Gauze] Amethysts sets were available at a long since past skin fair, but the jewelled tone complete with it's full body layer scale tattoo just seemed perfect for this look. The look seemed to be even more complete with the addition of some Mitosis Eyes from ellabella and a January bun that was a past group freebie from Truth, but there was still something missing, something that it lacked... Then I found the gorgeous Candy Crunchers Spider Crown, lord alone knows how long it has sat waiting to be discovered in my hoard, but isn't it pretty?! But yet, even with that, there was STILL something missing... "Make-Up perhaps?" I found myself thinking... Low and behold, as soon as I tried this glitter effect - Spangle Me - eyeshadow from The Stringer Mausoleum, that was it... It was perfect... The photo I shot turned out even better than I had expected it too... This is definitely one of my favourite pictures of the year so far, but don't take my word for it, what do you think? What is she wearing; Hair: Truth - January (Past Group Gift) Upper Horns: The Horror - Horror's Dream (Available now at One Word) Lower Horns: [CerberusXing] - Hundred Chained Horn in Black (Available now at UBER) Tiara: Candy Crunchers - Spider Crown in Black/White Skin & Body Tattoo: [Gauze] - Amethysts in Dark Orchid Eye Make-Up: The Stringer Mausoleum - Spangle Me in More Glitter Red Eyes: ellabella - Mitosis Eyes Piercing: Cute Poison - Starlust Piercings Pose: PRETENSE - Dead Sexy
Sometimes you get inspired to take a different kind of photo... Some people stop taking pictures of themselves to take photos of furniture and decor, others do landscapes - neither of which I am very good at by the way! - but when I start taking pics that are a little different, I somehow cannot get past the vanity of taking pictures of myself LOL... Though shot in a different way, I seem to shoot myself more than anyone else, and granted sometimes that can get a little boring - it does stop me worrying quite so much about whether people will like it or not LOL - but I try to mix it up, and sometimes find that the back view is better than the front LOL...
This was one of those outfits. The back was what caught my attention most, due to the fact that from the front, this looks like a fairly basic simple black sweater, it's only when you turn around you can see that it's far from basic. The {dollle*} Open Shoulder Crop Sweaters are available for the latest round of The Candy Shop - normally this is an event I will glance through on Seraphim, but pay no real attention to as it's not my style... Just goes to show that sometimes things we'd normally avoid are just what we want?! I dressed it fairly casual, wearing some oldie-but-goodie ripped shorts from SAKIDE and ripped AMERIE socks with my new FLite Military Aviator Boots, and stomped around in the Urban Setting of Virtual Decay, until I found a store I just had to visit hehe... What is she wearing; Hair: Ploom - Pepper Skin: Glam Affair - Candy Skin in America 09 (Past Arcade Item) Collar: ginchi - Jingle Bell Collar in Watermelon (Past Event Release) Top: {dollle*} - Open Shoulder Crop Sweater in Black (Available Now at The Candy Shop) Shorts: SAKIDE - Hallow's Shorts Socks: AMERIE - Garter Socks in Black Sheer Boots: FLite - Military Aviators Boots in Black (Available Now at UBER) Pose: PRETENSE - LINES 5
I normally would never post anything asking for pile-ups, I tend to get a little scared of them... I find myself thinking why would anyone want to pile up a picture of me?! It's not like I am well known, or even make good enough pictures LOL... But then today I was looking through Flickr and I found a request on one of the people I follow's feeds... Simply put it said "I want YOUR pile ups. Please" - on the photo stream of Dementia Navarita - and well I thought, her pictures are so pretty that I just had to try and see if she would make one for me too?!?
This is the photo I took of myself, wearing what I was going to pose in... See I'm not even brave enough to Pile Up myself LOL... So we can call it a look of the day if you will LOL... Today I am wearing, one of my favourite - and kinda perfect for me - slogan tops. It's a Drape Sweater that you can pick up from BabyDoll at Sad November, but I'm sure you can see what attracted me to it LOL... To accentuate the less than normal me, I wore an awesome necklace from the minds behind Zombie Suicide, The rest of my look was fairly "normal" though, I mean OK short shorts might be a bit strange as the days are getting colder, and devil horns, may also be a little strange now that Halloween is over, but meh it's me! LOL...
I put the pile up pictures I will be loading into Flickr into a collage here... That takes up less space, and makes them easier to load up... If you're reading this and wanted to try piling me up please do so, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT! What is she wearing; Hairband: Ploom - Animal Headband in Devil Hair: Ploom - Pwny Skin: Glam Affair - Candy Skin in America 09 (Past Arcade Item) Eyes: Clemmm - Clem's Coal Scoped Eyes Eye Make-up: SongBird - Delirium's Spiral Face Wounds: (Under the Eyes) Utopiah - Excessive Pain Makeup Piercing: Cute Poison - Starlust Piercings Collar: ginchi - Jingle Bell Collar in Watermelon (Past Event Release) Necklace: Zombie Suicide - Tentacle Necklace Top: BabyDoll - Drape Sweater in Normal People (Available Now at Sad November) Shorts: SAKIDE - Hallow's Shorts Pose: PRETENSE - Benefic 2
Now, Halloween might be over, but coming from me, I'd hope that you know by now I am always going to veer more towards the macabre than the girlie... Right?! So, that having been said I was browsing through a selection of notecards for new releases and DAMN when my eyes fell upon the releases from [ContraptioN] over at the latest round of Uber - with this month's Macabre theme - I couldn't get into the event fast enough hehe...
There was actually a lot more that I wanted from the event than I had initially thought... First though let me talk to you about the [ContraptioN] items hehe... The Death's Smile Mask is simply two wires of teeth over the mouth. They don't move, so if you are one of the people that talk on voice and watch the lips move, then you might be in for a bit of a shock when they remain static, but don't they look awesome?! The Wide-Sight Eye attachment is a little different, because the eyeball is fixed to your own eyes, the thing moves LOL... It weirded Jimmy out a little, and that made me crack up laughing - weird Rudh score 1 LOL... Whilst shopping at Uber - which is where you can currently grab these awesome [ContraptioN] goodies - I also found this great hair from little bones... It comes with the laces in one side, and two different variations of fringe! My dress is an oldie but one of my favourites, and it seemed to look perfect with the new chokers from Cute Poison. These chokers are available for the Rumplestiltskin themed round of Enchantment, which as I mentioned before is where you buy an item, get a stamp card and collect the stamps from each of the participating stores then head to their secret location to chose a prize from a collection made up of all of the participating designers! The difference is with this and some of the other items that can be bought for Enchantment is that these items are from a gacha machine! The location is one to check out too... It's by the creator Cica Ghost, and I LOVE everything that comes outta this creative mind! This time Little Town seems a little Steampunkish and maybe a little Burtonesque?! What is she wearing; Spider: Nuville - Item available at the Event Nuville Horrors! Hair: little bones - (Side) Voodoo (Available now at Uber) Eyes: n-creation - Zombie Eyes Eye Attachment: [ContraptioN] - Wide-Sight Eye (Available now at Uber) Skin: Glam Affair - Candy Skin in America 09 (Past Arcade Item) Face Wounds: (Under the Eyes) Utopiah - Excessive Pain Makeup Piercing: Cute Poison - Starlust Piercings Teeth: [ContraptioN] - Death's Smile Mask (Available now at Uber) Choker: Cute Poison - First Born Choker (Available now for Enchantment) Dress: r2 - A/D/E Suzuya in Silver (Past Event Release) Pose: PRETENSE - Lines 5
Horror Haute is slowly beginning to fade into the setting Autumn sun for October... Friday brings the most exciting day of the dead for the year, but it also sees the doors close on the coffins of the Horror Haute Vampires... I wanted to make one last salute to the blood drinkers, and another nod in the direction of the awesome and creative designers that offer up their horrific goods every month!
As you can see, I took the sulty, and classic, route for my last trip into Vampire land... Being honest it's not somewhere that Zombie me feels really comfortable. I mean I KNOW they are undead too but they drink blood while their dinner is still alive... Least we mutilate ours to death first LOL... I took a walk to the Horror Haute Skybox, where you can pick up all of these horrific goodies, and bumped into a friend. He told me to tell Anna and Themis that his arms are getting tired as the pumpkin is heavy LOL... Though he did compliment me on my dress... The Sanguisuga Dress - from ImmateriA - is very striking... Being honest, not something that I might have chosen to buy if I saw it on the shelf. At first glance it seemed like there was too much going on, but when I really looked at it, it just seemed too beautiful not to at least play with a little... I AM SO GLAD I DID! I love the ruffled flamenco skirt, and as it's separate from the top, I will admit that I've been wearing it with a simple top too! There is also call for a close up today too, because I need to show off the skin and make-up a little more clearly...
There we are, much easier to see hehe... I wanted a skin that seemed a little more Vampire, and a lot less my usual lol, and I got very lucky as Stargazer Creations had sent me a copy of their Horror Haute Vampire Skin Set! So many different make up choices, with and without cleavage and bloody mouths for the messy eaters lol... The eyes are also part of the set, so it is definitely well worth checking into! I felt though, that it was missing something... What I didn't know, but definitely SOMETHING! Helena Stringer - of The Stringer Mausoleum - proved to have that something I needed! She created the striking eye make-up I put on. Called Night Queen, it comes in a set of 9 bright colours, that will wake up any face in the dark of the night! One more thing to say... That's all folks... No more Horror Haute from me until next month! You don't need to wait long, it runs the last week of the month and ooooh it's going to be a good theme... Think colours, think dead things, think RAINBOWIFYING RUDH!!! YAY! What is she wearing; Hair: Analog Dog - Wound Up in Dark Reds Skin & Eyes: Stargazer Creations - Horror Haute Vampire (HORROR HAUTE OCTOBER) Make-Up: The Stringer Mausoleum - Night Queen in Mustard (HORROR HAUTE OCTOBER) Face Wounds: (Under the Eyes) Utopiah - Excessive Pain Makeup Piercing: Cute Poison - Starlust Piercings Outfit, including Gloves: ImmateriA - Sanguisuga (HORROR HAUTE OCTOBER) Pose: PRETENSE - My Hand Obsession 2
Ever have that feeling of being absolutely starving and not being able to do anything about it?! Today at work, sat in the office I opened this post, ready to start writing something and WOW I find myself feeling absolutely starving, which actually works very well with the photo I've chosen LOL... The reason I am so starving in my office is all thanks to my wonderful colleagues, who at 10AM were eating ramen... All the doors and windows were closed, and the heating was on as they all found it cold, so I was left sitting a warm room that smelt of food!!! Never a good combination when you're already sleepy and hungry LOL... Still it kinda fits with my new Horror Haute Vampire look...
Walking through the woods, I stumbled upon some new areas... I thought I knew the swamp like the back of my hand, but these places seemed to appear from the mist! The Master of the Night's Crypt creaked and groaned as the gates swung open inviting little vampire me inside, whilst his Dark Forest Library offered a chance for me to take a peek in a myriad of historic tomes - both of these things are available now from Howling Asylum for Horror Haute by the way - and each of them seemed so welcoming. The outfit itself was one that I had been wearing for a few days, and I thought I looked pretty cute - some said hot and that could just be the combination of the LBD and thigh high boots?! - but with just a simple addition it became the look of a ravenously hungry vampire! The dress, an event release from the store Haste, is definitely my current favourite LBD - or Little Black Dress to those who don't know the acronym - and when teamed with my all time favourite BAX Regency Boots it creates a sexy but simple look... I being slightly random of course had to Rudhify it, and make it a little kookier! I was meant to be undead after all, so with the addition of a few strategically placed wounds, and a Zombitch Necklace - that you can pick up from Love Zombie - the look was complete!! Now remember I mentioned before that due to the colleagues keeping it warm and making lots of food smells whilst I was starving... WELL... The little Vampire in me needed to eat, and she is a Messy Eater LOL. The Messy Eater bloody mouth make-ups come in three different styles, each getting more and more bloody from SongBird for the October round of Horror Haute... Wow I'm on a roll with Horror Haute... There's still yet more to come too hehe...
You might have noticed by now that I am a little into the macabre, gory, evil side of style in SL... In RL I a very much a jeans and t-shirts kinda girl that always wears her chunky boots and never bothers with make-up, but in SL that style is left at the log in screen and here I become a girlie, grungy living dead dolly... Today I was feeling inspired! I was out shopping, exploring the awesome Bloody Horror Fair, and I stumbled upon a helmet that made a song pop so far into my head it's been stuck there ever since! Luckily it was one of my favourite songs at the moment!!! Now I'm going to share it with you LOL...
The Hellraiser Helmet, from Goth1c0 and found exclusively at Bloody Horror Fair, was the inspiration for this look, and it was all based on a look by In This Moment's singer - Maria Brink. Their video for the song "Whore" sees her wearing a horned helmet similar to this one, and biting her fingers drawing blood! I couldn't resist paying homage to that in my own Rudhish way! I went down a similar gory, whoreish route to Rudhify but replicate her style by accessorising... Leaving my favourite new collar on from ginchi, I added the brand new "Gore Whore" Necklace from Cute Poison - which like the helmet can also be found at Bloody Horror Fair! The scribblings all over my chest are something that I had noticed a while back on the marketplace and they had never really fit any of the looks that I had been going for... The Truth Tattoo, from Corvus, is a series of words scribbled across your chest ranging from Selfish to Empty and hitting a few other harsh truths in between... I hope that no one would ever agree that I am any of those things, but I guess the person that is could be a true Hellraiser?! Just one more thing before I finish up here... Seeing as my look is loosely based on the look of Maria Brink, in a particular music video, I guess I should share it so you can see what I am talking about LOL...
There is a new gacha phenomenon in town that seems to be taking many SL'ers by storm... The Arcade is one of the biggest and best known shopping events that SL has to offer these days, but I think that this could be bigger, better and a little more entertaining?! I am talking about TAG Gacha... If you love the Arcade, you will no doubt love this equally as much, and with the addition of a trail to follow, each area with a different section of a storyline and some fab prizes then I am sure you may love this even more... I know I did! It's well planned, well executed and filled with some cute stores that will appeal to all different tastes. PLUS, if the chance of regular games of chance in the gachas wasn't enough for you, then the addition of the Mystery Tickets in which you can win super rare prizes makes it all the more exciting! I REALLY HOPE that this event comes back more, because it was fun to waste some time doing!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
I really enjoyed hopping around to different stores and finding some hidden gems during this event... I also, as is always with Gacha Machines, spent far too much money hehe... Some of the prizes I won seem perfect in combination, very spidery, which was lucky as maybe blending in will help me avoid the spiders in the maze?! The Venomous Hair - who'd have ever thought that I would choose to wear blonde and pink hair? - is an Olive creation. I've not really paid much attention to the Olive hairs, but I think I am going to have to shop there and try some demos at least now! The Gemma Skin, complete with it's wounded mouth, from [theSkinnery], and the Clemmm Scope Eyes worked perfectly together to create a somewhat broken dolly effect, and the addition of the adorable little Half Deer Heart Hugger Bat made the whole outfit a lot cuter. Well as cute as a mummy spider can get as she glances back at her large Hanging Spider Egg Sac, available now from Botanical. All of these things are TAG Event Items!!! How cool is that?! One more thing that needs a mention but isn't TAG, is the cute dress I'm wearing. This, although only the top is visible, is a dress released from Strumpettes for the past round of the Witching Hour event. It's an underbust dress with optional layers to cover the nungas, and as a spiderweb design, this one is fairly cute hehe... Just because the Witching Hour is over this month, doesn't mean you can't find it so don't feel like you've missed out, and therefore if you wanted it, please don't kill me hehe!!!

I know I've said this a fair few times already this month, and in the past few years but HALLOWEEN IS MY FAVOURITE HOLIDAY! I've been playing dress up like crazy so far this month, and loving every minute of it too! There are so many fun and macabre things to buy out there that this living dead dolly simply doesn't have enough time to get to them all!!! One thing that always seems to remind people of Halloween is the Black Cat. Often seen as a familiar for a witch, the black cats can be regarded as bad luck... Personally, I WANT ONE Lol!
HellBone won't let me have one, SO I made my own LOL... ME! He can't tell me no lol... The reason I decided that I wanted to be a black kitty cat, aside from the fact that Hell can't tell me no this way, was that I wanted to wear this cute hoodie hehe... The hoodie was one that I bought a while ago from AMERIE, at a past event, and I LOVE the cute ears and large hood which you can fit lots of different hair styles into! I kept the kitty theme by wearing my favourite new collar from ginchi, but I realised that I had a bit of an issue as the hoodie was so open hehe... Pulling on a noldie but classic from Crazy, I was missing just one thing! SOCKS! Unfortunately as I pulled socks up - also from AMERIE by the way - my huge claws slipped through the thin fabric... BUGGER but hey cool enough to wear right hehe...

I've been working on some pretty macabre things lately, I guess it's the time of year and I am really not complaining, but I needed something with a little sparkle... Random I know, but hey that's just how I roll LOL... Luckily as I was browsing through events, and stuff that I had been sent to blog, I stumbled upon Candy Fair 2014... Bright colours, cuteness and sparkles filled the air, and I'm sure if we had smell-o-vision style SL then you could smell something that was akin to a sweet factory! It was just what I needed...
Luckily Iokko Molko - designer of awesomeness that is yumyums - had sent her bloggers a bumper pack of all things yumyums from the Candy Fair... There was a lot for me to choose from and boy did it help with my need for cute! I even wore pink... Don't be too shocked - Pink is evil after all - but yes Rudh in pink!! I'll tell you all about my outfit, and think I should start from the yumyums and work on from there... SO to the skin... This is the Brias skin in Sparkle Queen, there are two different skins available at Candy Fair but I have to admit this was my favourite because the colours are so bright! I'm also wearing a Frosting Crop Top, in a strawberry colour, of which there are 5 or 6 different colours available! The top says I'm "Sweet", it wouldn't lie would it? Lastly, from yumyums, if you head into the middle of the event there is a gacha garden, and hidden within one of the machines is a collection of ice creams and candy, or if you are really lucky you could win a carrier, just like the Quater Cone Queen Carrier I'm wearing! I wasn't only going to rave about the yumyums Candy Fair items though, I had two more totally adorable things to share! First being my hair! Ploom created the Lollipop Girl style, complete with lollipop accessories. I had a bit of a dilemma in choosing the colour I wanted, luckily a fairy stepped in to help me make that choice, but I couldn't walk away from the style it was just way too adorable! I also grabbed this amazing Candy Crusher giant lollipop from the BOOM gacha, because well who doesn't wanna use a giant lollipop as a weapon?! The last thing that I want to mention to you is another gacha item but from somewhere completely different hehe... I spotted the collar - a ginchi creation - in a gacha at the SLGBTA Halloween Gacha Spooktacular and well I LOVE jingle bells... I now have the colour in a myriad of colours hehe!!

TIME FOR A BERRY MEME YAY!!!! Berry has stopped with the regular Monday Memes, can't say I blame her to be honest, they must have been hard work creating something like that every week, but she has promised that occasionally there will be a Meme pop up randomly and we can join in when they do! To be honest, that seems kinda exciting hehe, we never know what we will get or when one will happen hehe... This time though things got a little morbid... That's not a problem with me, if you ever read my blog you will possibly have realised just how morbid I am at times hehe, but it's Berry's Birthday week, so some might think it's a little strange LOL!
Death look for me is normal LOL, I always say Rudh is like a Living Dead Girl - Thank you Mr. Zombie for giving her a theme song for her identity LOL - but when you have to make a look to fit a Meme, I tend to think ARGH what am I going to do, and even for a normal look for me I had this problem!?! Weird huh?! I pulled on some new, with some old and let myself die, all in the name of working on a Berry Meme hehe... Berry gave us a list of questions, as she sometimes does to go with a Meme... Let's answer those, shall we?! Do you ever think about dying? How do you expect you’ll die? To be honest, although I live my SL as a zombie almost, I don't really ever think about dying in RL. It seems weird to think about it now, but I would prefer to be one of those people that died in my sleep. I know it will be hard for those left behind but I would rather that than something which caused them more pain than my passing alone, ya know?! Do you believe in an afterlife? If so, how do you visualize it?I don't mind saying here that I am a non-religious person. I wouldn't say I am an Atheist as there are things that I believe in, a possible afterlife being one of them, but not the Heaven and Hell ideology. I'd like to think that my soul will continue on after my body dies, I've learnt so much for it to go to waste hehe... What is your preferred form of apocalypse and why? I think if the world was going to end in an apocalyptic way it would have to be something that seemed really impossible. I mean OK I know Zombies aren't real, but you see them everywhere - in TV, film, stories, you name it - so maybe something totally random like a teddy bear apocalypse - a zombie teddy bear apocalypse - or a giant cookie apocalypse! That sounds like fun, right?! How many times have you cheated death so far? Ummm, touching wood here, I don't think there is any occasion when I can say I have had to cheat death. Which fictional villain would you be okay being killed by? First off, Berry, if Thor comes to save you - especially the Chris Hemsworth Thor - can I have him next? As for the fictional villain I'd be OK to be killed by Maleficent maybe, I always thought she was the scariest Disney Villain. However, if we were going to be saved from the villain, I'd also be willing to risk myself for any of the Supernatural Villains... Sam Winchester can save me ANYTIME! If you’re murdered, do you stay and haunt the culprits forever or do you give up that opportunity to leave and go to heaven/hell/Cancun? It would depend on who I was allowed to haunt. I might stay by HellBone, not because I'd never want to leave him, but it would be fun to mess with his mind a little bit LOL... Will you have done everything you have wanted by the time you die? To be totally honest, I don't want to have... I want to die without knowing it's coming so that I won't even have the chance to think what didn't I do?! I take each day as it comes and try everything life throws at me... Least that way I can't say I wish I had done that when I had the chance!
Sounds so morbid, but it really gave me a chance to think while I was answering these! Next time you set up a Meme though Berry, how about something silly and frivolous?!
