That feeling of being abandoned can hit us all at random times... You never actually have to lose someone to suffer with that feeling, and something as simple as a change in a relationship can leave you feeling a little lost! Not that it is a total abandonment, but it's still similar feelings.
So OK I have a photo that is a little gloomy, she's been so abandoned that the spiders have taken over, and she's left in a dark and almost horror movie style situation... I don't feel anywhere near as abandoned as this right now, but there is that slight niggling doubt in the back of my mind... A fear that someone is out to do me harm for no apparent reason, and a chance that things will change very soon!
The spiders are the main focus of this photo, and it's purely and simply because of ONE item...
I was checking out the latest round of The Liaison Collaborative, when I saw this amazing necklace called Spider Cascade from Earthstones. I have to admit that I don't tend to shop at Earthstones all that often, some of the pieces are too dainty and kinda too pricey for me so I look but don't touch, yet this one cried out to me that I needed it, and the resulting picture just came together so easily, it was like fate!
Maybe I should feel alone more often if this is the kinda thing my mind creates because of it?!

Time for something a little prettier today... I've been in the dark for too long now, and although I love being that way I don't want people to start thinking that I'm not a happy bunny - the majority of the time anyway - but never fear the darkness that comes with this time of year will be back very soon...
Autumn is one of my favourite times of the year, not only because of Halloween, but also because of the colours and that sense that soon it will be time to snuggle up and hibernate almost...
Yet I found a dress that made me want to give one last nod towards being out and about exploring in something pretty and not too tightly wrapped hehe...
I guess you could call it my look of the day?!
It's my nod towards the start of the Autumn harvest - though I guess that has been going on for a while now anyway - but so many people were hoping for an Indian Summer here in RL, that now we are hitting freezing temperatures a lot of us are not yet prepared for it. Still least in SL you can still skip around in a summer dress without getting cold right?!
The location I randomly discovered, with a really Autumnal feel - although yes the majority of the trees are still green for now - is the landscape that surrounds Apple Fall. I was there shopping and this amazing field caught my eye, I KNEW it would be a great photo backdrop!
Yet it was the dress that inspired this look more than anything, I fell in love with the dress style when I saw it on Flickr a few weeks ago, and HAD to try it... When I tried it on, it was love and I just had the hard task of choosing the colour... There are 4 different colour combinations of this dress - available from Paperdoll's - and each combination comes in a collection of different combinations - the plain, the checked and the mix'n'match!
I wore it with the adorable Darkness Hat Hair from Magika - the HUD of which will be able to colour the new subscribo group gift by the way - and then kept the rest of my accessories to this simple but very pretty Devil Trap Necklace from [geek.].
So there you have another look of the day, a last grab at that summer feeling and perhaps a nod towards the Autumn days that have yet to come...

As you may well know, the Gators MC Halloween Maze is open... We´re very excited to have been included in the Destination Guide with it too... Can you believe it? Our little MCs Event in the guide?!
While we are on the topic of the Maze I wanted to take a little bit of time out to share with you a couple of the awesome goodies that you can find inside... We have some amazing treats including bloody nails from KOSH, and a Soda Gas Tank from Consignment, but right now I am going to show you some of the wearable items that you can grab for yourself... OH and give you a hint about one of the locations in the maze too hehe...
This room was designed and created by Kris, Hell was not to blame for this one though many wouldn't believe me... Kris is one of the DoodieMen, along with Hell and Mongo, so now you know that you may believe me that this wasn't Hell's room LOL...
One of the hunt prizes is totally perfect for this nightmare scenario though. There is a pumpkin, which has been hidden by Naenia Demina of ImmateriA, that contains this amazing Gas Mask. Something which will no doubt be worn by a lot of the girls in the MC when the boys are around, even though the mask is unisex and could be worn by anyone, it seems to be us that have the most issues dealing with the smells hehe...
Another prize in the maze, is this cute jacket and shirt combo from The Untitled. This set comes in male and female sizes, and it's a nod to the Halloween season... Perhaps if you're feeling lazy you can tell people you're a black pumpkin with a candle inside or something?!
Don't miss out on these prizes and MORE at the Halloween Maze of the Gators MC... AND If you're really lucky you might get to meet yours truly!!!
What is she wearing;
Hair: Magika - Hearts Like Ours

Sticking with a theme of all things dead and therefore a little bit dark and macabre for now, as it really seems to fit well with the mood that I am in too... I LOVE this time of year, I can be my zombiefied self and no one even blinks an eyelid because "Hey it's nearly Halloween" LOL...
I've created many stories for myself as characters that I have been through the years of SL - all 9 of them - and although I enjoyed being a Fae and then a Vampire - not the bloodlines kind I will point out, I was a vampire before all that started and stopped once it did LOL - that being a Zombie has been the most fun. I love telling people that I am going to be dead for the day, the reactions make me laugh, and I am lucky that it hasn't offended anyone yet, but at this time of year I enjoy nothing more than letting myself relax and enjoying a little party... Cake anyone?
The location of my party is Deadman's Island Haunted Sim... I was super excited to find this place, and will no doubt be using it as a location as many times as possible, just in case it's only there for the season!! When I arrived the Halloween Haunted Tea Party was already set out - laid out by the creative mind behind Boudoir - and it even had the most amazing table decoration, I wonder what his name was?!
My outfit was one of those that I had on and loved, I guess you could say it was a look of the day - although in reality it was more like 5 days! - and it was something that I bought on the spur of the moment, it's not entirely my normal style...
The AMITOMO Shirts Under Dress dress was one that I picked up at the latest round of Chapter Four. It was sooooo busy when I went in that trying a demo seemed like hard work, so I took a chance and my luck paid off... I picked up a gorgeous little dress that I love.
I also grabbed a new Doe Wig when I was out shopping recently, this time at The Seasons Story however... The Gretchen wig is SO CUTE and it works perfectly with the cute dress, but it's not the only change to a body part. If you look closely you might also see that I am a little paler than normal, there is a reason for this, and it's not just a trick of the light. Last Friday, Glam Affair released the Sia Ghost Skins for Fifty Linden Friday, and I had to have them even if it did mean I had to buy Polar tone appliers at a cost of almost three times more than the skins themselves! They will definitely become my new Halloween Tone for October, but never fear I will tan just a little more after the spooky month is over!
If cake isn't for you, perhaps I can interest you in some special tea?
What is she wearing;
Hair: Doe - Gretchen (Available until October 31st at The Seasons Story)
Skin: Glam Affair - Sia Ghost in Polar
Dress: AMITOMO - Shirts Under Dress in Set 3 (Available until October 24th at Chapter Four)
Boots: CandyDoll - Arabella Boots in Black
Pose Prop: Boudoir - Halloween Haunted Tea Party
Autumn is finally here, my FAVOURITE season of them all... I love the Spring too, but it is the Autumn that always gets me excited. Perhaps it is because of the Halloween Holiday? Perhaps it is the changing of the colours from vibrant greens to reds and oranges and yellows? Perhaps it's something more morbid? You know me, my twisted brain may well be getting a sub-concious kick out of the fact that the trees are "dying" and going into their long Winter sleep! I do have to admit I love that feeling of being able to snuggle up warm and cosy... I really do love that feeling...
Though from years gone by, one of my favourite memories of this time of year was the time I went collecting conkers - although you could call them horse chestnuts - with my grandad. One of the very few memories that I do have of him actually - he used to love helping me get my conkers ready for the battles I faced at school...
So you could say that this post is in honour of him, even though the photograph is a little deranged and that has NOTHING to do with my Grandad! Let's blame the conkers for that!
While I was out for an Autumnal walk in the woods at the Hippie Park on Saturday, something strange happened! I was accosted by a group of Fae, and attacked!
They cut my face, scarring my eye in the process, and tied a rope around my neck - a rope that you can get from Remarkable Oblivion by the way, they are Fae with good taste hehe...
After that I was tortured just a little more, a LobAutumny Needle was pushed into that bad eye, causing a little drool to escape my lips. The only sign that it had anything to do with the Fae being the Autumn leaves around the handle of the spiked tool... You too can get yourself the drool and the Needles from the katat0nik gacha at the new round of The Seasons Story!
After all that, and the fact that I still survived, the Fae took me as their leader, adorning my awesome new Exile Hair - available now at Collabor88 - with this beautiful LODE Chestnut Crown - available at Chapter Four.
So if you go out conker collecting this Autumn, you have been warned, the Fae will come for you!

I love it when I buy things in SL that instantly make me want to be creative... I love it even more when those things help me create something beautiful... Though most of the time, my beautiful tends to end up being something dark too... I'm not so good at the pretty pictures that are all light and girlie...
This one is one of my new favourites, and OK I say that a lot but there is just something real looking about this picture... Something that I've never been able to capture before!
The whole idea for this picture came about due to the event that is ROMP. I had been browsing through the many stalls at the location and spotted these amazing Bites & Hickeys from antielle, and could not hit the buy button fast enough. They are available in three different styles, with or without hickeys and a bloody version too - which I surprised myself by not getting LOL - and each style has darker or lighter looks to it, so you can really be creative with your playtime scars.
The outfit that I chose to wear is something that is so pretty, the front is lovely but I cannot get enough of the corset lacing up the back, this time the Dead Dollz Minuet outfit is a rear view hehe... You can grab yourself one of these outfits from We <3 RP at the moment, and never fear they are available in pretty pastel colours as well as the dark one that I am wearing...
My hands tied behind my back, the rose as a gift for being a good girl during playtime...
Two good gifts for lucky me... The marks of a good time and a rose to say thanks...

So this trilogy of photos that are being created by Solde, Lil and I to see how perspectives differ is definitely on a roll at the moment, and for our third installment we chose to do something simple together. A Girls Day Out at the beach, while the boys were too busy playing in their DoodieMan - a long story that may be explained later but for now don't ask LOL - Cave.
The three of us went for a little wild ride at the beach in this awesome - but non-moving, pose prop only - from Image Essentials. The Cruisin Pose Prop is suitable for 3 avatars, and so it was perfect for the girls and I, it's a fun jeep that simply screamed about the days on the beach...
I wore a super cute bikini from Bowtique and pulled my hair up in a messy ponytail from Exile - at Collabor88 now, though I was lucky I did that as Solde drives like a crazy person on the beach hehe...
This is the third in our series of photos... I look forward to more, next one is a prop pose I believe hehe...
