I've been on a bit of a blogging roll today, and I'm feeling like going for a posting hat-trick with something simple but pretty... This could even become a new profile photo for me as it really sums up my love of pretty and macabre all in one close up portrait of my vain self!
It's a simple photo and I have played with the lighting a little but the super pale skin is one of the Rigor Mortis Skins from Stargazer Creations. If you want to see the photo without the edit or if you're interested in seeing the skin in-world call on me, or check it for yourself in a demo! It's a pretty skin for a dead girl!
I then decided on some pretty dead eyes that are some of my all time favourite dead eyes from The Skinnery, and bright red lips... The red wasn't working for me until I decided to smear it all over my cheek, accidentally slicing my face open with a ring as I did so... You too can get this look from anitelle, just bare in mind that a smile like this HURTS!
As a final touch and a nod to my macabre dead girl side, I had fallen into a weird love - as only a girl can with her new accessories. This Hair Flower Accessory is a fairly new release from DirtyStories for Totally Top Shelf. It wasn't too badly priced, but wasn't cheap either, I didn't care though I HAD to have it!!
There is no fancy story, there is no frilliness with this post, what you see is what you get and I really like what I've got hehe...

Some people think that Sundays are a holy day, others look on it as a day to prepare for the coming week, I personally - and I'm not ashamed to admit it - feel like Sundays are a great day to be lazy! I always have so much to do on a Saturday... Groceries, cleaning, visiting my mother-in-law, all those tediously mundane must-do things, so when Sunday comes around I love nothing more than taking the day off - going on strike if you will - and lazing around for some me time!
Me time will ALWAYS involve some time spent playing dress-up and making photos in SL... My addiction must be fed, and well it's a great way to relax...
This amazing outfit is one of those things I wanted to play dress up in this weekend... It's an ImmateriA release - one of two that got my dress-up urges kicked up a gear - and the Aiko gown in this gorgeous creme colour took me back to the perfect photography location of Origami. It was here that the somewhat Oriental Priestess could step into her true role...
The Halo she wears is part of her priestesses garb... Her lotus shaped dress showing her status, but the hair... Well that is something totally unpriestess like - a sign of her love of all things modern culture! Her hair in it's two toned INK style, shows that this priestess really has her finger on the pulse of modern culture...
If you aren't into the creme coloured dress by the way, it comes in a variety of colours, so that not matter your style choice you too can find that ImmateriA Aiko in you too!!

Gor is something that I have absolutely no interest in...I never have and never will, although I have dabbled in the BDSM lifestyle in SL, I just find that the rumours floating around about the Gorean community paint a pretty bad picture of things and I would rather steer clear. That having been said, there are rumours about every social RP style in SL I know - there are a million around the Biker Community, and I shouldn't tarnish everything with the same brush but there are other reasons why Gor isn't a place I'd chose to hang out too...
HOWEVER, I will say that sometimes Gorean based creations, be they clothing, decor or even locations can be pretty! So when I was offered the chance to get into a brand new Gor RP sim early, I knew I couldn't turn down the chance.
I pulled on a pretty dress, and boldly went exploring around the new build... Parts of it were still being built, but once it is finished and fully decorated I am sure the place will look intricate and enchanting as it was already promising to be.
Set in what appears to be somewhere between a medieval and a fantasy town, the large towers dominate the landscape. With it's port, jail and other open spaces, this place will I'm sure be filled with role players before long, and I really do hope that it becomes large and popular Gorean community.
I enjoyed wandering around so much, I spent a good few hours checking out the nooks and crannies of the "City of Cartius", taking pictures which I've shared in a collage below, I will admit that it did give me a bit of a craving to at least give Gor a try... Perhaps? Then again maybe not? But never say no right? LOL... Well OK No I doubt it will happen... But it was so pretty!!!
I also found myself thinking about Gorean fashion... I COULD NEVER DRESS LIKE A SLAVE GIRL lol but some of the other styles can be very pretty!
I know I am not looking 100% true to the Gorean style for women here, but I couldn't resist this dress from FDD called Selena. At the time I found it I was wandering like a lost soul, shopping at Totally Top Shelf, when it caught my eye from the other side of the room! It was perfect for the somewhat eleven, somewhat historical, mystery girl in a Gor sim look I had running through my mind.
I will find out today if Cartius is open to the public yet, I will ask around hehe... But if you love Gor, you should get your little RPing butts over to this sim... It is well built, very pretty and there are lots of places that you could get lost while roleplaying for hours here...
Thank you for letting me have a sneak peek creators... I wish you masses of luck with the sim and building your community!!!

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*
