Prayers for a Dark Goddess

So tired after a difficult day at work today, being the boss has no perks other than you can decide if you go home earlier or not lol... I've been in charge ONE DAY and there was scheduling chaos, meaning I'm working 4 straight days now and three of those are LONG days... 
I don't know what will happen so I'm going to make a prayer to the gods and hope that the dark goddesses will allow things to go smoothly for once... 

I'm going to make a plea prayer and sacrifice to the dark goddesses within the Cementerio Demoniaco - a backdrop from The Bearded Guy - carving the sigils into the flesh to draw out the blood required using the Runic Sickle of the Midnight Order - which happens to be a release from Static at the Second Life Syndicate's Midnight Order this month. 
I hope that I drew it correctly and I'm not accidentally going to summon a chicken or something...

Open the Curtains on the Cab

First thing, Monday Morning and DAMN I'm wishing that weekends lasted longer... I feel like mine just disappeared in the blink of my eye... I didn't even really do much besides a lil bit of picture taking and a lot of cleaning!?!
Talking of taking pictures, sometimes you get lucky and make something amazing, and others well you end up thinking they are a little less so - these become you're lessons that help you get better I find - yet yesterday when I was messing around looking for a set of things to set up to take pictures of, this happened...

I know, it shocked me too LOL... It's actually pretty good innit?! The composition came first, which for me is unusual! I had this AMAZING Checkered Cab seat from Consignment - which you can grab for yourself at Uber this month - and to go with it I bought a really cute Signal Lamp decor from BALACLAVA on Friday, but there was something missing... Then as I was digging through other things that I'd been sent to blog recently I stumbled upon how cool the cab looked with these Grand Supped Curtains from Paper Moon... It wasn't conventional but it looked AWESOME! Least I thought so, and that was it, I just needed to get dressed. Though I did add a little extra decoration from WorN in the form of the Goth Warning Sign LOL, I think it sums up my blog and personality fairly well lol...
The outfit was a little harder to pull together than the setting for some weird reason... I tried this gorgeous Dead Dollz Marla Corset in a gold colour to match the settings, and it looked great but how would I accessorise this look... Then for some reason I was pulled towards a parasol... I found one from ImmateriA called Oh My Goth, if you look closely you will see that it's made from Spider Webs!!! How cool is that?! Then as a finishing touch, and to stick with that vintage tight-rope walker look I was going for - somehow it happened, I don't know how LOL - I pulled on a pair of Reign "Fiona" Boots to complete my outfit.
OH and one more thing I wanted to mention... The light orbs in the air... If you haven't been to We <3 RP yet, you should JUST for these!! They are a creation of the store ALEGRIA, the dancing fireflies are a gorgeous addition to any picture... I've used them for one of the best random collection pictures I've made as well as a very romatic wedding announcement photo that will be shared soon... They are a brilliant prop for any photographer to own!!!
I know it's a random collection of things but I have to say I LOVE how it turned out...

What do Angels with Red Wings eat?

Strange to see a little angel sitting in the clouds and enjoying the sunlight, especially when you think that she's an angel of Horror, but that's what she is... Don't let her innocent look fool you!?!
I'll share with you a possible little secret right now, and that is, Angels are like flamingoes, the colour of their feathers changes depending on what they eat! Now I've always believed that angels eat cake LOL... Why else would something that tastes like Heaven have been created?! Duh?! LOL... This would explain the creamish wings they have right?

In this case, you can tell she's a Horror Angel, her wings are blood red, you can tell what she eats hehe...
Lots of different things make this Horror Angel look the way she does, things from various events too... For example the Florchild Halo that she is wearing is a Oneword release from The Horror, and there is a handful of things here that have been past event releases - such as the Thorned Beauty Rose Jewellery from roobix - but the entire reason for this photo was in fact one item... The Tasty Pudding Vamp Cobweb Stockings are that reason.  They are available in a series of different colours, and have the ability to wear the thorns without the socks too! These socks are a release for the Simply the Best line-up of Horror Haute this month, by the way, just so you know hehe...
So if you ever see an Angel with red wings, no matter how pretty they are... RUN!!

Ohmai, I'm Under the Sea

Hair Fair is officially open and as far as I've heard I am counting my lucky stars that I was chosen as one of the official blogging team this year... I don't mean to make anyone feel bad, but I will say to anyone that would listen that when I was sent a group invite, I nearly passed out at the fact that I'd been accepted... Things like this never happen to me, and I only hope that I can do a good job for the organisers, designers and at the end of the day, the children, in my coverage of such a brilliant and well organised event! 
I bought a total of 7 different styles from the Hair Fair this year, that's not a lot in comparison to some people I know, but for me that's a LOT... There are some from stores I'd never normally visit, some that are definitely a little more fantastical and others that I loved just because they were cute!! 

This would be one of the cute styles... It's a new release that will donate 30% of the price towards the Hair Fair Charity Wigs for Kids, from !Ohmai Salon called Tako. All of their designs for this year's Hair Fair are Sushi themed, even the freebie piglet is a Sushi Chef... 
Now I will admit that I have spent the last few days in an outfit that I bought at this month's line-up of Collabor88. Yes it's fishy themed, so I will take a few fishy jokes after admitting that I have been wearing the outfit for a few days. The dress is one from Pixicat, an Aquatic dress that is perfect for a modern mermaid, as well as these awesomely fab tights from Schadenfreude! 
I accessorised with two AWESOME new releases from my favourite stores for cuteness... These stores always seem to go hand in hand on the cute scale and I cannot ever get enough of them... It's kinda like torture... Good but torture hehe... 
The Bag I have in my hand is one that you can win yourself ig you try the Origami hunt. I will admit that this hunt was a little bit too confusing at 7am when I'd just woken up and was there for the prizes LOL... I will likely go back and try it again but until then I can share with you the awesome Schadenfreude Bagged Octopus... The other,  and possibly slightly more obvious thing, would be the Shark! It's a release from SilentSparrow for the latest round of Seasons Story, which is under the water themed lol, and I got lucky winning this RARE Bloody Great White Shark on my 4th attempt LOL... You know me and blood...

Tentacles for my Friend in the Swamp!

Hair Fair starts tomorrow and I am working hard, like a good little worker bee, to get a look at some of the new releases that could be adorning your heads over the next couple of weeks... Yet I mustn't forget the awesome events that are taking place elsewhere on the grid at the moment too...
One of those is Horror Haute, YES it's still on as it's running for a full THREE WEEKS this month! 
I decided that it's been a good few days, I think it's now time to inject your life with a little Horror, and this time TENTACLES!!!

The tentacle look is inspired by one of our Simply the Best designers favourites... The Untitled is a store that was totally unknown to me until I discovered it whilst working on the Horror Haute! It's designs are fun and yet have a simplicity that means they are usually very versatile... This dress is a prime example of that.The Kraken Dress was a release a while back that includes this dress and also a set of awesome back tentacles, which can be worn separately or all at once - I love that - and it was always one of my favourite Horror Haute pieces...
The rest of the look I kept simple, accessorising with a Tentacle theme... I wore a necklace from Zombie Suicide, and curly Magika hair, then I went down to the swamp to show off my new tentacles to the beast that lives in the swamp!!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Magika - Lessons 
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item) 
Face Wounds: Utopiah - Excessive Pain Makeup

Seat: <!WorN?> - Mighty Big Tentacle in Turquoise Grape 

Saved by a Demon Angel

I count myself very lucky in SL... The people around me are more often than not better than any therapist could be. They make me laugh, and they pick me up when I fall, but there are very few that I can go to with absolutely any problem and know that they won't judge and will give me honest advice and opinions.
Deangelo is one of those people... He may not agree, and may tell me off for ruining his reputation, but since I've known Dean he's been a bit of a rock to me. I first met Dean way way way back in history, and unfortunately for him, he is now able to say he is one of my oldest - and still active - friends!

It seems funny to see him posed as an angel - some might say he is anything but angelic, but I suppose that gentlemanly aspects of him could be considered fitting?! He has saved me many times from my own emotions - sometimes I do tend to be overly emotional lol - but more than that he makes a pretty good model when I need someone to pose LOL...
This pose is the reason that I created the photo in the first place, it's a release from Signature Pose called Save Me... It was just too romantic not to use, and saying that makes me laugh that I didn't use Hell in the photo LOL...
Thanks for being there for me Dean and thank you for parking your avatar then going to make some tea! You're such a hero hehe!!!
