The Adventures of a Sky Pirate

For the last few days, the hubby and I have been re-watching the Pirates of the Caribbean. It's a bloody good series, with lots of moments of humour, romance and general silliness that I'd kind of forgotten about. Since there are 5 now things seem to blur into each other and I will admit I was wondering where each of the movies fitted together... What can I say? I LOVE them, I love Jack Sparrow and will say he's got to be one of my favourite movie characters of all time... I guess that it has influenced me... 

I think the Caribbean would be way too hot for me but I could be the kind of pirate in some fantasy steam-punkish novel... One in search of treasure or adventure or something that could be entertaining to pass the time... I'd have to be a bit of a fancy dressed up pirate, modern yet stylish and armed with some pretty weapons...

Fairy Cakes for Dinner!

Keukenhof - the national tulip gardens in the Netherlands - has officially opened now, and there are SO MANY PEOPLE visiting the Netherlands, making work a busy, stressful, crazy place so that now I'm back home all I want to do is drift off into a fantasy place where I don't have to deal with people... 
I want to hide in a garden, eat cake and be in a magical place to relax and have a little fun...

Getting Home, All Snowed In!

I'm back from my vacation, and it was a lovely trip home to spend some very much needed time with my parents and sister. I enjoyed all those things I loved doing at home, things like going to second-hand stores, reading plenty of books and generally lazing around doing not a lot of anything. It's been wonderfully restful... Now though it's back to reality, and on a slippery slope to a jolly holiday... 
Talking of slippery slopes... I looks like it's been more than a little snowy in many of the pretty places in Second Life... 

I got back from my little vacation, there has been lots and lots of changes. Snow has started to fall in the pretty parts of Second Life and there has been so much snow in my corner of the Second Life world that I've been Snowed In - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - so I dumped my case on the steps and after grabbing a shovel - that comes with the pose set also from Synnergy.Tavis - and deidd to get to work. While digging out the snow, and started talking to my new little robin friends, as I begin to dig through the snow...

That's WAY Too Much Sugar!

Tis Friday night... Time for a party, and it's going to be a wildly exciting party... It's almost Halloween this month, and all the spookies are out in force to celebrate... I heard a rumor that the best kinda parties are the ones held by the Skelly types, apparently they can get really wild!  
It's kinda funny because you'd think there would be nobodies there lol... Such a cheesy pun, but so worth it... That is until on of my friends took a bit of a turn and then passed out... 

On the dancefloor in the city tonight, the skeletons are having an awesome Friday night party... The DJ is spinning on the decks and the cute skele-animals are even joining in.
I love the flashing lights of the Halloween Sign - from Krescendo, available until October 31st at Salem - but it gets people so excited to enjoy the party and eat lots and lots of candy, provided in the Junk Food Pumpkin Buckets... 
The only problem with the free flowing candy is that some people get a little too over excited, and they pass out with all the sugar... It happened to my poor buddy, he was so hyped up on candy that he ended up legless on the dancefloor - he's really an awesome 'Char'Boo'terie' Board from Junk Food at Satan Inc...

Puffin... Nuffin...

When I was younger, my parents took me on holiday to a place called the Scilly Isles in the British Channel... It was such a lovely holiday and I guess since things have been going crazy all over the place I've been thinking back and reminiscing! 
Today I was super excited to see that we'd had some new friends move into our beach... Little Puffins, there one minute there's a Puffin, then they fly and and we're left with Nuffin... 

Puffin... Nuffin... It was a joke that tickled me and my mum for hours, I even treated her to a tea towel with the pictures on it LOL... Nothing so British as buying a tea towel as a souvenir! 
My Puffins flew in from Puffin Island - a release from TLC Home Collection - and I hope they are here to stay.

Moths in the Attic

Just when I feel like it's time to come out of the shadows and get back to some semblance of normal, things shift and everything rolls back to square one... After the craziness that has been going on in the Netherlands with regards to the riots, and the loss of a dear SL friend this week, I just cannot bring myself to wander too far into the light... 
I'm like a moth, wanting desperately to enter into the light, not brave enough to dare to get too close... 

In the attic of the Varonis Verendus, the dark little moth girl hides in the shadows, watching the the world pass by out of the window as the moonlight catches just a glimpse of her... 
She's mystical, she's magic, and the glitter is drawing the gentle moth friends around the dusty old attic... If it's not the magic sparkles, maybe it's the magic within the Caithe pendant - a gorgeous necklace from random.Matter - around her neck... 

What is she wearing;

Walking in Hell's Gardens

Yesterday was a glimpse at the light, but with Halloween drawing nearer, it's appealing far too much to the little dead doll that I am, and well, my Daddy spoilt me yesterday with a Halloween Treat because I'm a spoilt little Living Dead Girl... 
It's fun having a Puppy around again, I mean my Kitten is great but this way I get out and can walk the pathways of Hell... 

So, I am in LOVE with my new puppy and kitten both of which I adopted from different people at the amazing SALEM event... My Kitten - is from Half-Deer - and my Puppy - is from TLC, both of which are available at Salem - and I've named them Trick and Treat, depending on which is behaving best, the names can be used for either at any time hehe... 
It's been so long since I wandered the halls of Hell... Luckily Daddy's apple trees are growing well, and although the fruit is off limits to most I'm sure he won't mind if I take a bite! This area of Hell is particularly pretty at this time of year, maybe because of it's location, but The Bay area is always very pretty!

What is she wearing; 
Hair: DOUX - Rain Hairstyle 
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory

House Mascots for the Games!

I am really on a roll at the moment, playing with silly things that are so different from one day to the next... Today I'm going in a totally different direction from yesterday's naughty post, I'm doing something really silly, and I LOVE IT!! 
Very Soon, the Winter Olympics will start - February 9th I believe - and so the world seems to be going sports crazy. I'm not really a sports person, I don't mind playing certain things, and I was a real Rugby fan when I was younger, but now I would rather read a book than watch sports. 
The Liaison Collaborative this month though, seems to be gearing up for the upcoming games, and all of it's designers are getting into the swing of things... Sporting fever even seems to have reached Hogwarts!

I know that Harry Potter's characters probably don't really think much about the Olympics, but they are into their sport of Quidditch. I made the mistake of asking my RL sister about Quidditch, and realised too late that it's a lot like a football fan talking about the off-side rule, it sounds like waffle! I smiled and nodded, then ended the call a little fast! 

It's the fault of Lost Junction - at this month's round of The Liaison Collaborative - as they have dusted off some awesome mascot sets for each of the Hogwarts Houses. You may have realised by now that I'd be a Slytherin, as I've mentioned it before, but each house is represented - Snake, Lion,. Badger and Crow?! 

Now I wasn't allowed on a Quidditch Pitch for safety reasons, because frankly I doubt I'd survive... So I was lucky to be allowed access onto the field at the well-known Second Life Cheerleading Squad field. These ladies are very friendly, and pack a lot of pep into any event that they attend so maybe you'd want to see them for yourself, or even become one of the SLCS girls?! Check them out, along with their impressive Srooc Skytower Memorial Stadium.

While on the subject of sports though I have to mention the pose I'm doing as a mascot... It's from a set of poses also released at The Liaison Collaborative, by NANTRA, called Going for Gold. Now as I've shown, by adding the store ad below, these are ice skating poses, but they looked perfect as my mascot was diving all over the place getting the crowd excited, and I love the fact that these poses are able to be used for all kinds of things!!! 

What is she wearing;
Head, Glove & Cone: Lost Junction - Cheering Section in Snakes (Available until January 30th at The Liaison Collaborative) 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Outfit: Scandalize - Madeva Outfit in Fatpack RARE 
Shoes: REIGN - Onesie Gacha Item in Thigh High Monster Slippers 
Pose: {NANTRA} - Going for Gold Pose 2M (Available until January 30th at The Liaison Collaborative)
