Welcome to my Garden of Shadows

What would costumes at Halloween season be like if I didn't throw in a nod to the eight legged beasties that seem to be a cause of many people's nightmares. I'll admit that I don't find them terrifying but at the same time I'd rather not have the big fluffy ones in the house. My dog just watches them, my cat tries to play with them, but even my hubby has been known to get a little squeamish when there are big ones around, and the vaccuum has had to be the hero of the hour more than once... 
I will also admit though, that there is something about the arachnid chic which I find very difficult to bypass when creating costumes at this time of year... Spiderlady time... 

This year, the Spider Lady is the one holding the key to the Garden of Shadows... She sings that most haunting of melodies "Come Little Children" to welcome passers by into her garden, and once there they will never get out again... The garden is the doorway to the Spinner's Crypt - a backdrop from FOXCITY - and the perfect place for the arachnids to dance in the moonlight, weave their silken art and indulge in the delicacies of people that wander in... 
She's decorated, and never lonely, because of the visits from all her little spidey friends. They creep over her skin, escaping from within her... Through holes in her skin - a Virus spread by A.D.D Andel - decorating her body in an outfit of webs...

Drinking at The Devil's Lettuce

 I'm working slowly on my 31 for the 31 days of Halloween... So far I'm not doing too badly, only having missed a few due to work days... I will catch up I'm hoping, but for today I decided to head to a bad and have a few drinks and a bit of a dance... 
There aren't many places for the dark and demonic and twisted, so the Devil's Lettuce seemed like the perfect place...

Since SL is down, and we've had to postpone the Rob Zombie concert that was scheduled at the Gator Sim today it means Rudh is all dressed up with no where to go and no supervision from me... She's totally unsupervised people and who knows what chaos could be caused! 
She's gonna burn down the house - or maybe it's a church at The Forgotten that the little Living Dead Girl is living in - and head out to wreak some havoc! YAY for demonic havoc!!!

King of the Pumpkin Patch

Coming up in RL over the next few weeks, HellBone will be MASSIVELY busy with work as a special effects make-up artist. He's been working super hard on a brand new character costume of Oogie-Boogie from Nightmare before Christmas. It's making me get all into the theme of the movie, and well... It inspired my look today... 

Something's up with Jack, Something's up with Jack... Halloween Town has been taken over by Jacqueline and her dog Nero hehe... Modelling a look very similar to his Pumpkin King attire - thanks to an old but still favourite costume from CURELESS! 
Yet the thing that most inspired my Jack based look today was this awesome Pumpkin, called "The Horseman's Head" - which has been created by FIKA for The Dark Style Fair, and is available until October 30th. I LOVE the fact that is has the neck piece with this candle on it! I have even been wearing the candle without the pumpkin because well I'm weird that way LOL...

Anck-su-Namun's Curse

Had a day dealing with customers at work that makes my inner psycho come out... They ask so many questions and expect me to be happy joy joy, when all I can think about is "how can I answer your question without stabbing you?!" Having to remain calm at work means that by the time I get home I'm willing to stab someone, anyone, pictures will have to do, I can't murder as I don't have bail money... LUCKILY It's Halloween, and murder is accepted... 

I stabbed more than once, I cut out their heart and hung them to bleed dry... I left their entrails dangling as I picked up the heart and planned where I was going to start carving. It's a complicated process, but I'm being manically evil today and it's all really in the Halloween Spirit. 
While getting into the spirit I had to dress for the part, I wore some bandages from Anck-su-Namun - a release from Fika - that must have been cursed or something as once I'd put them on one of my eyeballs popped out. Wasn't meant to happen as I started carving the heart, but once my eyeball popped out random stuff started happening, my horns grew for example - though the awesome hair from Olive!

The Eclipse is the time to get his Heart

Deep in the dark of the crypt at the Cemetery, Rudh is dealing with the remains of her zombie ex-boyfriend... She has missed his touch, missed his voice, and missed the closeness that came with him... Unfortunately now, the only way she gets to see her man is by heading to the Cemetery and desecrating his grave and pulling his remains free one by one... Today she's taken his heart! 

The blood gets everywhere, especially when you're trying to take his heart... There's only a few days a year that you can do it.. The nights of the Eclipse are the best days for taking your beloved's heart!
The Wicca's Originals "Emily" is the dress of choice with some spiked killer heels, and accessorising with some bandages from HUMAN GLITCH...

Candies cause visits from The Tooth Fairy

Last night was the grand opening of this year's Gators MC Halloween Maze and as with every year I always end up coming up with some weird and wonderful costumes... It's my favourite time of the year for a reason, and it's not like I need a reason to play dress up... 
So this year I kinda dressed in the theme for the opening and to match my room but without giving too much away... 

Yes it's a Candy Forest and I'm a tooth fairy... I don't want the bad rotten teeth that have fallen out, I want the teeth that are still in your jaw... I'm taking those out... No Novocaine is needed!!! My pliers will do the work for me!

Fallen Angels in Hell

I don't want to get myself into trouble today, posting something that I'm thinking of as a demon in Hell, I KNOW that religious stuff can and does offend people but for me it's just a level of fantasy - one that I love playing around with! I crack jokes about it all the time, I mean hell is my hubby after all! 
Today though, for some reason I found myself wanting to do something a little darker, Hell related, a fallen angel of sorts... 

Not that I'm an angel by any means but it's always fun to play around right?! LOL... 
This look was actually a mixed inspiration - partly due to the way I'm feeling right now - but more a combination of this AMAZEBALLS Lava Face and Body Tattoo from Mad' - which comes in two colours Fire and Stone by the way - and the way it seemed to perfectly fit with the Shattered Angel Wings from Ama! It's almost like they were made to go together!! The addition of a tail and horns was all it took to have me charging all over SL looking for the perfect "Hell" style location... I found one, if you haven't been to the Angels & Demons Role Play System but want a heaven or hell style setting, I'd recommend it! 
For now though that's all your getting for me, a little Hell... I'm gonna go raise Hell in RL!!! 

What is she wearing;
Horns: Plastik - Vi Horns in Gunmetal 
Hair: #Foxy - North Hair in Reds 
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2

Leaving Home to Explore

HALLOWEEN is coming... Unless you're hiding under a very large rock I'm sure that you may have realised this fact,  but I cant help being more than a little excited by it. Décor is springing up everywhere and I'm trying to remain calm in my dark, macabre little boots... 
She can't wait to leave the house everyday looking for something Halloweeny to do!

In hindsight I realise she looks like she's trick or treating but no she's just going out for the day LOL the tricks and treats come later! 
Today she's playing the murderer, and I really hope she's not gonna get caught up in any plot because well, she's wearing quite an ominous tag LOL... The murderer top comes with an assassin version too, as well as the blade she has in her mouth, and you too can join in the murdering fun by grabbing the Murder Kit from PaperDolls at The Dark Style Fair! To add just a little more bloody murderer effect to the look I threw on a Bloody Razor Blade as a Choker - from Kibitz - and grabbed a butchers knife that I had just laying around from a store called Phi - which is available in a gacha collection of murder weapons, such fun! - before walking out the door!
Petting my Frankenstein Kitty and my Ghost Dog, I headed out to find something interesting and Halloweeny, there's so much going on I'm spoilt for choice!

Halloween approaches. She wakes from her slumber!

The month of Halloween is upon us and I'm more than a little excited. I waited all year for October and YAY it's finally here... I wish Halloween was more of a big deal in Holland where I'm living but since it's so overlooked here, I'm definitely going to be enjoying it in SL more! 
So although I missed the first of the month, I'm now waking up my inner dead girl from her dark slumber and she's going to be having much more control over me, so please expect lots of blood and gore for Halloween Season... 
For now, she wakes... 

She lays sprawled on her Coffin Chaise - courtesy of Violetility at this year's Salem - she changes it up depending on the season and right now it's a lovely shade of black... Matches her mood! 
The lounge wear is nothing more than a very glamorous Circe Robe - from Violent Seduction - but her shoes are her eye-catching detail... These shoes are gorgeous. 1313 Mockingbird Lane made RIP Okobo - originally Japanese Geisha wore these shoes while in their apprenticeship although probably not like the ones Rudh is wearing - they are AWESOME, made on mini coffins...
