Asking the Spirits for Inspiration...

Today is the last day of The Witching Hour, and what a month for the event it has been...
I have to take a moment to step into the role of Blogger Manager here and share with you how proud I am of what the Blogging Team has become. Everyone works their butts off to bring some amazing looks, and everything within the event gets covered! If you have time, you should check out their photos - most of them can be found in The Witching Hour Flickr Pool - and enjoy the way that other people make the items work to fit their styles!
That would be one of the things I love about The Witching Hour. I am fully able to admit that not all of the items are things that I would normally play with, but for me one of the challenges is trying to make things work into the ideas I have in my head for photographs hehe... Keeps things fresh...
Sometimes it helps for me to commune with the spirits over what I want to do with certain items, but even that in itself can make for a very good photo!

While communing with the spirits about how to include the pretty Arched Shelf - this one decorated with roses and thorns - from DressME Designs, the picture just seemed to happen without me even trying. Helpful those spirits aren't they? These shelves are a available in a set of different designs, but come without the skull candle... That was my addition for the purposes of the sceance, which thankfully I was able to conduct without any problems hehe...
Maybe though it was because of the things that I chose to wear, maybe the ouiji board accessories helped keep the spirits giggling rather than making them angry... I wore an ALTAIR* Ouija Necklace in white, as well as a pair of matching shoes from Aftershok - that you can win yourself at this month's round of The Witching Hour!
These things looked SO CUTE with the brand new dresses that have come from dimma for the World Goth Fair - I still plan on talking a bit about that later hehe - but there are 5 different designs to choose from, I just loved the simplicity of the moons!
I leave you with one last, close-up look at the awesome shoes I chose to wear, and whisper to you that the spirits tell me there is still magic in the air... Something a little like old-school magic this way comes?!

Never lose the Magic

Perhaps it's time for a little more magic of The Witching Hour... Everyone needs a little magic in their life, no matter who you are, how old you are or even what you believe in... I personally feel that if you lose the magic, you should take a break and re-evaluate things!
Roald Dahl - one of my favourite authors no matter how old I am - once said;

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."

Don't lose the magic... It will make life much, much, much less of a happy sparkly place!
I almost lost the magic of SL last week, for some reason - and I mentioned this before - I felt bleh with the whole thing... I took a few days away for myself and now I am ready to come back screaming and ready to shower myself in SL's magical sprinkles LOL...

So I ramble, but hey it's my blog you should expect that by now, but it helped that when I came back I could start again with a plan to work on creating some pretty looks for this month's round of The Witching Hour...
This is the second look that I have been able to pull out of a bag of magic tricks which features the items from TWH, but this one is actually a lot more involved in the event than the last which was just about the shoes hehe...
The outfit that I am wearing in this photograph is a dress called Familiar Bats - in a gorgeous blue tone that has been called Witches Glove - from the store that is ImmateriA. Along with the dress, the pendant necklace is also an ImmateriA release, the Bat Trinket Necklaces are matching colours for the dresses, and make the perfect accessories for that pretty outfit.
To go with that I chose a choker from Chop Shop...  For TWH this month, the creative minds behind Chop Shop have created a series of gorgeous Wire Bat Chokers... I LOVE THEM, they are so cute and absolutely gorgeous - a range of colours to match any outfit!
But whilst I was posing in that magical place that is The Witching Hour, something strange happened... My back began to itch just a little, a tickle at first, until I felt something shoot out of my back... I tried not to scream, but catching sight of myself in a resonating green stone, I discovered that horns had not only sprouted by grown long on either side of my spine! Rancor Back Horns - available from The Stringer Mausoleum machine - come in so many colours that it will be easy to accessorise your demonic looks. This is the common colour number 8 called Bloom, but there were so many different colour combinations, I cannot wait to see what other people choose!
So lesson for the day... NEVER LOSE THE MAGIC... Also go to The Witching Hour LOL...

Bubbles and Statues gave me my Mojo...

Sometimes I find that taking pictures and blogging as a whole is hard work... I've come to realise just how hard in the past few days as I have found myself running out of blogging juice and losing my mojo somewhat... I've been tired, lashing out and getting more and more frustrated... So I took a few days away from SL to be in RL... 
When I came back my mind was ready to start taking pictures again and it's lucky because the new round of The Witching Hour is now underway!!! There are some really cool items to share with you this month... But first I was playing around with a couple of new props... Something brilliant happened!?!

It was strange how it all came together, but now I will say that this has to be one of my recent favourite photos... 
Basically, my sister and good friend Lil passed me some new textures to use as photography backdrops... I LOVE the grunge brick look and it was just awesome to see my shadow against them lol, but then things started to just seem to come together as I was looking at what I had to play with hehe... The Statue is a new release from Paper Moon - in collaboration with The Muses - that are available at the latest Fantasy Gacha Carnival. This is the rare example, but they come in a few different poses and only the rare has the veil! For some reason though, and I have NO IDEA WHY, but I thought CRAP I need BUBBLES! Maybe it was because I saw the awesome {anc} bubbles in my hoard waiting to be played with, and trust me this isn't the last time you will see me and bubbles, but it just seemed to kinda sorta work! 
I love that I have taken the photo of me from the back too... It is one of those things that always makes me think, what is she thinking? What is she looking at? Why is she not posing properly? PLUS in this case it shows off so well the décor on the heels of my shoes. These shoes are the reason I mentioned The Witching Hour... As a rare colour release, in the AfterMath Creations machine, these are just GORGEOUS!! Who doesn't love snaky shoes, even though I will admit I never normally wear pointed toes! 
The only other thing that I really want to give an honourable mention to here is this adorable dress... It comes from SAKIDE - but you will need to venture into the Depraved Nation Thrift Shop to get one - and you can buy it in the light version seen here, or in dark or floral designs - which no doubt you will see later hehe... 
Anyway enough rambling but can you tell I am happy with this one? Looks like I got my mojo back huh?? Hehe... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: SpellBound - Sweetsleep in Chapter II
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)

In the Witching Hour, we make SOUP!!

The Witching Hour is ALMOST over, today is the last day for this month's pretties, and there are some cute things that you may be sad to miss if you haven't seen them already...
Talking of cute though, the little witch in me was feeling a little hungry this morning, and what better way to start your day than with a balanced breakfast... SOUP for breakfast!! Not just any soup however, being this cute take's a LOT of work, and I am not able to bathe in milk like Cleopatra did. Instead I will sometimes make a lovely soup of cute fluffy stuffed animals... 

It's great for the skin and will add that extra touch of sparkle!!! 
To make Plushie Soup, get yourself a HUGE bubbling cauldron - preferably one that has already got the taste of magic on it like the Hocus Pocus Cauldron from elephante Poses - and then add the plushies of your choice... Today I am adding a touch of The Sugar Garden Lop Eared Bunny and a little Afterlyfe Moon Kitty - which you can grab yourself on sale at The Witching Hour depo! I may also add a touch of Mewnicorn as I have a very magnificent example from Lassitude & Ennui - though it's begging me not to, offering me flowers and it is so cute I might just keep it! Not sure that my familiar Shouldercrawler cat MiaMai will appreciate that but oh well, tough titties! 

That was the recipe, but some of you witchy fashion fans my also be wondering about my outfit today... Isn't it gorgeous... 
I'm wearing my old faithful Remarkable Oblivion hat, but the rest of me is different! I have a cute purple wig from Lamb, in the Miss Mabel style, and it matches PERFECTLY with my new skin's lilac make-up - get the new skins from yumyums at IDK by the way! The outfit itself though is a gorgeous new creation from Stargazer Creations - one of the best places to by fantasy wear in my opinion - the range of colours this look comes in is just gorgeous... Each one gem like in tone! Each one, not so coincidentally - has a matching magical ring available from ImmateriA, and both items are available at the CYOT event! Just brace yourself, these rings are flippin' powerful! I nearly knocked myself out with it hehe... 
UH OH!!! OH DEAR OH DEAR OH DEAR!!! Looks like we have a problem... The smell of the soup has awoken something dark and enchanting! RUN RUN RUN Watch Out, they are COMING!!! (Stay tuned to find out what I am gabbling about hehe...)

Decisions, Decisions...

Sometimes I will admit that I would LOVE to have someone to help me decide on certain aspects of my outfit. I mean you find a look then try to match it with accessories, or you find a hair style and try to make it fit an outfit, but sometimes I spend such a long time looking at two completely different things and wondering which I want to wear that I end up not bothering at all... Shoes are a prime example of this... 

This month for The Witching Hour was a prime example of this... Two amazingly cute sets of shoes are on offer and I was having such a hard time working out which ones I wanted to wear. 
One shoe was a ruby red high heel called Magic Dust Corset Pumps from AfterMath Creations, the other a summery flat with a gorgeous rainbow Astro Dolly pattern from Stargazer Creations. 
The best thing for me to do is to ask someone for help... When no one is around I ask the helpful hand on a plate, the All Seeing Hand, from Lilith's Den. 
All of these things are gacha prizes at this month's round of The Witching Hour, and as always they come in a myriad of different colours and patterns for the low price of 50L per try!!!

Wednesday's Child...

There is a very old English poem that reads; 

Monday's child is fair of face,

Tuesday's child is full of grace,

Wednesday's child is full of woe,

Thursday's child has far to go,

Friday's child works hard for a living,

Saturday's child is loving and giving,

But the child who is born on the Sabbath day

Is bonnie and blithe and good and gay.

BUT Don't call this Wednesday's Child Perky! Wednesday's Child is full of woe... This one is no different!! 

Yes it's Wednesday, and I am bringing another little slice of The Witching Hour collection, before the round closes for the month tomorrow... Wednesday - seemingly based on Wednesday Addams - has just started at Eureka High School... 
The Dress, Doll and Speech Bubble are gacha prizes for this month's Witching Hour line-up from AfterMath Creations... It's part of a massive set of Wednesday's Child goodies, and features other things not shown here such as eyes, jewellery and boots! 
The choker that I am wearing is not part of the set, but comes from The Horror... I simply love these wire chokers - or the Choke-Me Chokers as they are called - they bring me back memories of my own childhood - OK teenage years - but it was close enough lol... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Magika - Things 
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)

The Orcs have shopping needs...

Tis that time again, The Witching Hour is upon us and we are ready to fill SL with a collection of the perfect goodies for those with the Witchy need! This round as always will run from the 13th - which this month just happened to be a Friday for the second month in a row - and will last a week... So it was the perfect excuse for a little Orc girl to come above ground and go shopping... After all who doesn't LOVE shopping!!! 

The Little Orc Girl has a strange skin tone for her race - a Foxy Fem colouring of the [Stargazer] race - her fiery eyes burning as she appears in the daylight. Her Spydra Horns - from The Stringer Mausoleum for this month's Witching Hour - and the Grave Keeper Satyr Horns - from BLD also at the Witching Hour begin to glisten in the morning light. The bone necklace around her neck was her only adornment on her scantily clad body. until she was done shopping. 
Shopping for gifts for her family and friends, her eyes caught sight of a beautiful necklace - and matching earrings -  the Angolan Witch Spider Necklace from the ImmateriA store. She couldn't resist the stunning spider webs that had been frozen in time, complete with it's inhabitant, and turned into jewellery for the discerning Orc! 

What is she wearing;
Huge Horns: The Stringer Mausoleum - Spydra Horns in Rare 4 Bronze (Available Now at The Witching Hour) 
Small Horns: BLD - Mesh Satyr Horns in Grave Keeper (Available Now at The Witching Hour)

A little quiet time with the Girls...

OK so quiet time around the Gators isn't really the right term here... More like it was a giggle fest, shared with only poor Gary as a little testosterone - though he was too chicken to jump into the photo with all of us - it was nice to be able to have just a few of my sisters to share in this moment with, AND use as props in the photos I wanted to take featuring some of the brand new releases from Consignment and Floorplan! 
It's hard for me taking pictures of furniture, I don't feel that it is one of my strengths... Some people take AMAZING furniture only photos but I have never been able to do that! So when these gorgeous girls were standing around doing nothing I thought to myself "AH HA" lol... That's love isn't it, using them for my own needs LOL... 

So let's discuss the furniture, seeing as it - a side from the fact that I did want to take a picture with some of my sisters, this isn't all of them by the way, Hell's Harem is a little bigger LOL - the reason I set this shot up! 
Consignment and Floorplan have done it again! They always seem to make gorgeous furnishings that could be used in any home style environment... Unfortunately for you these items will not be found as a job lot but all of the pieces used can be picked up from one of two locations... 
So here's the list, if you fancy yourself a chair like the blue one, the rug or the pretty pink rose in a vase, you will need to head to The Liason Collaborative. Here the chairs are available in 5 or 6 different colours, as PG or Adult versions and with a myriad of different décor also available that would look GREAT with them! If the Red Beanbag Sofa is more to your taste - although they look great together if you ask me - it is available in the same different colours, as PG or Adult versions, at Collabor88 this month. At Collabor88 you will also find the red rose, the jar containing the stick lights AND the radiator. These Radiators do not come with poses in them, I cheated a little and sat my sister Chelsea on the cool radiator using a pose that is no longer available, but a word of warning... Sitting on a radiator that is on, in a skirt that short, could hurt LOL... 
Now I hope you won't kill me for not having a list of what all of my sisters are wearing, but if you see something specific on one of them, that you have to have, please let me know and I will find out where it comes from... My outfit on the other hand, well that's easy to tell hehe...  

I was channelling another sister Solde this week, she's always seen with trademark white hair, but it looked so cute with my outfit that I hope she won't kill me for copying her style. The reason for this outfit came about due to the awesome shirt that I bought on Sunday. It was Lazy Sunday, I was being very lazy and I spotted these cute Lolita Dresses that were the release from Razor and I HAD to have them. Yes the HUD has the design in different colours, but I LOVED this combination and so pink and green it was LOL... I will admit that I tried it on without a skirt underneath, normally I would have gone without one, but for some reason I was feeling a little self concious, so I admit I made this dress just a little longer by adding a plain black teeny skirt underneath!
Lastly, and as always, Accessories!!! The Necklace and Bracelet are a release from Goth1c0 for this months line up of The Witching Hour, which closes today! Available as individual parts - Bracelets and Necklaces are separates - this red coloured version is a RARE one, but all of the colours look this good so it was very hard to choose which to wear hehe... 
Maybe next time I will try to get a photo with all of my sisters, that make up HellBone's Harem... For now this is what you get, aren't we all pretty LOL... 

What is she wearing;
Hair: Taketomi - Ayami Bento 
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)

Witches and Butterflies?!

Today is the last day of this month's round of The Witching Hour and yet I still have SO MUCH MORE to share with you... Dammit lol... Rudh work faster woman!!! If you haven't been to The Witching Hour yet this month, don't miss out, there are some really awesome goodies on offer... Surprisingly you can even find a few neon colours too... Courtesy of the wonderful Aggie who is on a "Neon, Goth, Drive-Rudh-Mad" kick at the moment!! LOL...

A prime example of this would be her creations - for the store Stargazer Creations - that you can win yourself at this month's round of The Witching Hour... The Witch Love Sets are available as different pieces of a collection, with 4 complete colour outfits to choose from. Me being me, I decided to mix-n-match, so I am wearing a Cauldron coloured Harness and a Spell coloured Dress! She made pink two, two slightly different shades in fact, but 'NER NER AGGIE' you want me in pink gotta limit the other colours too LOL...
I will admit that I then went to town on accessorising, and for some reason I ended up with butterflies?! How in the heck that happened I don't know but I would advise not trying to get into my head to find out! I had LOTS of butterflies LOL... Lots and lots of them... From the light up hair accessory Bluebells Butterfly - of Ladies Who Lunch - to the Le Poppycock Befuddling Butterflies, and the Adoness Butterflies that kissed the skin on my arm, I think it might have been less for coming to see me and more for the fact that I had neon wings?! I mean Moths are attracted to Neon would butterflies be the same? For the record, I was like a moth to a flame when I saw these Neon Wings from 7mad;Ravens at a past wound of The Arcade - I think - I just wonder why it has taken me so long to dig them out hehe... 
So you see, witches aren't all bad... They like butterflies too... What I didn't tell you is that this little witch is getting into the zone, ready to pounce... They like butterflies because they taste nice hehe... 

What is she wearing;
Hair Accessory: [LWL] - Bluebells Butterfly 
Butterflies: Le Poppycock - Befuddled (Part of a Set) 
Hair: Exile - Rain or Shine in Rain 
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item) 
Face Wounds: (Under the Eyes) Utopiah - Excessive Pain Makeup, AND, (Cheek) Fallen Doll - WickedFaceScar

Boots or Shoes, which to choose?!

It's that time again, The Witching Hour is upon us and BOY did the designers go to town this month... Not just one or two things but a whole heap of really pretty and awesome goodies are on offer, things that will tickle your taste buds - or at least your somewhat darker fashion sensibilities! 
There were SO MANY THINGS that I simply had no idea of knowing where to start! Luckily, if you know me and you might have a bit of an inkling by now or perhaps not, I will admit that I have a bit of a thing for SHOES! Even more luckily, there are two adorable styles of shoes on offer this month for the event, I just wish I knew which to choose hehe... 

I sat my butt down on a new stool - that you too can nab yourself at The Witching Hour this month from the great mind behind Brick-A-Brack, but I'll tell you more about these stools later hehe - and wriggled my toes in excitement! The outfit that I was wearing - an adorable but now somewhat older romper suit from the store Chloe - really wasn't going to match ANY of the shoes that I had just unpacked but OH WELL I couldn't wait to try them on... 
The Knee High Boots - available in a collection of different designs - are the creations of DressMe Designs. Each of the boot designs features the elemental symbol of a different planet - I think, so please correct me if I am wrong?! - hence their name "Planet Stalkers" with a lacing up the back of this rather vintage looking boot. 
The pumps on the other hand are a totally different style, look and feel! These are the ImmateriA release called Spellbound, and as the name suggests, in my head they would be the perfect footwear of a mystical being... Perhaps Fae or Mage?! Now as always with any ImmateriA product, these shoes are well made and beautifully textured - I squeaked with excitement when I noticed the sun symbol for anti possession! My reasons are a little geeky in that Dean and Sam of Supernatural both have them tattooed on their sexy chests LOL, but then I warned you that it was a geeky reason! 
So while I sat on my new stool from Brick-A-Brack - one of a set of 6 different elemental designs - I had a hard choice to make... Boots or Shoes, Boots or Shoes?! 

What is she wearing;
Romper: Chloe - Rompers in Olga (Past Event Release)
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item) 
Feet: SLINK - AvEnhance Feet Female High 
Shoe: ImmateriA - Spellbound Shoe in Moonspell (Available Now at The Witching Hour) 
Boot: DressMe Designs - Planet Stalkers in Venus (Available Now at The Witching Hour)
Seat: Brick-a-Brack - SweetyHeart Seaters in Triple Moon (Available Now at The Witching Hour) 

Before the Witching Hour comes to an end, I must sleep...

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)

Ethereal Elemental bring Secret Charms and Dru!

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*

A last little look at Horrorfestive... FOR NOW!

That's right, as of right now, this is my last little look at Horrorfestive 2014. There may be more to come, and I can tell you right now that Horrorfestiveness will be popping up in other things that I am working on, but this will possibly be the last time that it a post's soul purpose is the darker side of the festive season lol... 
I also felt a little naughty, because well due to the Horrorfestive, I've kinda been neglecting other things... The Witching Hour for example is here, and rocking and rolling, and I got lost in a festive dark place! 

NOT ANYMORE!!! I took a walk at the Horrorfestive event location and was very soon overcome by a strange sensation... It didn't feel like burning but it was HOT!!
It wasn't hot due to the outfit - although this SAKIDE Fuzz Leather Outfit is pretty hot - but there was something heating me up around my head!
I had found a strange [TfAtN] Blessing Necklace - which you can pick up for yourself at The Witching Hour - and while I was walking through the snow at the Horrorfestive, things started to heat up. Within seconds it felt like a shock of lightning passed through me, I had no idea what was going on, but the heat circled my head and licked up my face. The Daemon Lightning Collar and 'I See The Light Mask' can be purchased from Spyralle at the event, in case you're wondering!
I do not know quite how but a halo had appeared, the [TfAtN] Elemental Halo was calling in the fire, and branding me with a SongBird's Blessing!

Halo: [TfAtN] - Elemental Halo in Fire/Gold RARE (Available now for The Witching Hour)

Even the Blind can See! A Horrorfestive Production!

So many awesome things are available at the 2014 Horrorfestive you will have to go in to see and believe it hehe... As I've said before this event is raising money for the awesome Munchflower Zaius. For those of you who have NO IDEA who she is let me give you a bit of an idea!
Munchflower Zaius is the mind behind Nomine. For a very long time, she has been an inspiration, guru and assistant to people in SL's large dark, gothic and macabre community who are seeking to make their own SL a happier and prettier place. Many people will be able to say they have at least heard of Nomine, even if they have no idea who Munchflower herself is, and although I have never really had any personal dealings with the lady in question everything I've heard about her is good. The support she has in this time of need, during which she has been forced to give up her source of income - yes, Nomine has closed! - goes to show just how loved she and her store are!
Anyway, if you want to read more from the lady herself, check out her "Gofundme" page, and then go buy some gorgeous pretties from the Horrorfestive event... YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO hehe!!

Let me share with you just a few more of the pretties... I KNOW there is a lot more to come from the event but as much as I want to I cannot do them all at once LOL...
This time I got a little creative, and released the seer that I have within thus suggesting that even the blind can see... I don't want anyone to feel offended by this statement by the way, I mean no offence. I had a blind great aunt who always used to tell me "just because I cannot see doesn't mean I cannot see what you're doing young lady". Her other senses were so heightened she always knew when I was up to something, even more so than the family around with sight! It used to scare me as I was little, I thought she was magic hehe...
I guess that magical feeling has kind of been reflected here. This look all started with the set of Crown, Blindfold and Flowers called Frills, in a Fever colour, from Devae. There were SO MANY colour combinations to choose from but when I pulled these on with the hair I chose to wear from Clawtooth, that was it... I was destined to be a pinkish Seer hehe... Then, in combination with that, I remembered this amazing tiara that has been released from ImmateriA for the December Witching Hour. It may look familiar, but they have been updated and made even prettier for the new round!! The full body tattoo is subtle in everything but the face, the face seemed to work perfectly with the mystical feeling that I was trying to portray, but this Ama Alive Inside Tattoo could be used in so many different ways! I then kept the rest of the outfit simple in the form of this super cute Satin Jumpsuit from PixyStix, and some very cute and rather useful present opening claw rings from HopScotch!
Just one more thing was missing to make the look complete... MORE EYES! Bliensen + MaiTai have created some AMAZING Eye Ornaments, and they are SO unbelieveably gorgeous that I think in the very near future I will have to put up a Christmas Tree in SL just to show them off! Me being me, and therefore more than a little bit weird, I decided to add them to my outfit, and so now this Seer has four eyes, not just two hehe!
Wow sometimes I don't half talk a lot lol, just one more thing that I should mention though... Look behind me, I know I am a little distracting but that grave stone in the background, not only is it gorgeous, it's also animated with bats AND available for Horrorfestive from Alchemist! Gorgeous and Charitable what more can you ask for!
