The Queen in the Tower

Tis the 7th day of Halloween, and it seems to be whizzing by so far this month... 
I've decided that since we've been open for almost a full week now, I am going to wax a little lyrical about our little Dark Adventure and in fact there is ONE location in particular that feels a little more special than some of the others. I am talking about our little trip to the Tower of London... 
On our little spooky tour, we head to the tower, in search of some of it's very famous - and no longer living - residents... 

One of the most famous residents that ever found herself in the castle that is the Tower of London, was Queen Anne Boleyn. She was the second wife of Henry VIII, the mother of Queen Elizabeth I, and the first of Henry's wives to be beheaded... She met a gruesome end, at the hands of an Executioner with a sword in his hands. 
Her ghost is often seen wandering through the courtyards of the Tower, sometimes with her head on her shoulders, others with her head in her hands but usually pale and bloody... Her ghost became the inspiration behind Rudh's 7th look of Halloween and so we light a candle for a lost Queen...

Modern Tech at The Engine Room

There are so many pretty things happening in Second Life at the moment, the changing of the colours is taking place and people are slowly starting to wear warmer, cosy looking clothing. There are costumes being planned and things are starting to get a little spooky. I LOVE this time of year... 
There are other things happening that have to be shared though before the spooky things start. The Engine Room has opened and there's so many gorgeous, steampunkish things filling the grid, Yet you know me, there are ways to make things fit every style, for my first peek into the Engine Room I went a little wild... 

Out the back of The Engine Room, you might find the Workshop - a backdrop from FOXCITY - Rudh wrapped herself in a protection with a Nox Arcana - a halo from Quills & Curiosities - to slip between the somewhat dangerous Power Cell Pillars - from Oblivis at The Engine Room - to steal the universal heart, or the "Left my heart in..." - from Doe at Dollholic - that has been stored in the Murder Juke Audio Jukebox... 
I know that her outfit, and in fact this entire picture, isn't really very steampunk in style but I had to get a little high-tech Manticore Mecha Arms - from Elivah - which caused me to get more than a little high tech in style...

In the Neon Light

Honestly recently I´ve been getting the creative feeling back and making pictures that are making me feel happy. Trying to enjoy myself playing with photography, more for the fun of it than just purely because I need to find something to blog... I realised recently that the deadlines were becoming more of the priority, and since I made other changes to my SL, now it´s time to do this too... 
I've been playing a lot with Neon Colours and mixing them into my dark style, and the results are making me super happy...

This outfit was actually a look-of-the-day that I'd thrown on in the spur of the moment... I LOVE this Naahmah dress, from Salem - which I will admit had me singing the classic muppet song "mah nah men ah" while I was putting the look together - and then I added the fine details such as this Medicated Tattoo from FIKA - that has a selection of different word slogans you can choose from - and the gorgeous jewellery collection, called Royals, from RAWR! It was an outfit that made me smile and well, I think the picture, shows just how much I love it perhaps LOL...
