Halloween is here, Let's all Cheer!!!

This is Halloween, This is Halloween... Halloween, Halloween, Halloween, Halloween... Tender lovelings everywhere, life's no fun without a good scare... Let's all make way for the pumpkin king... It's finally Halloween, the most wonderful day of the year when the spookies are out in force and it's time to let the dark magic flow through our veins and out into the night... 

It's the 31st of October, and that means more than just the Halloween spookies... Tonight just happens to be the end of the 31 days of Halloween costume challenge I set for myself, and I'm ashamed to admit that I failed, I've only managed to get through 27 looks - today included - and therefore missed 4 days... DAMMIT!! Oh well, there will be another chance next year! 
Tomorrow is also an important day, as Tuesday November 1st, is the day that this years Dark Adventure will be coming to a close. The monsters will be allowed to rest and drift back into their peaceful slumbers... It's been a crazy, busy event, and our trip from school around the world has been a lot of fun as well as educational... Yet the basketball cheerleaders were there to open the event, and now the football cheerleaders are leading the cheer as we celebreate the big day and the end of the trip...

Darkness in the Light

Halloween draws closer each day and for the last few days of my now 29 days of Halloween looks - lol yes 29 because I've missed 2 days so far and yes I'm fairly disappointed in myself for missing those two days - and I feel like right now I need to do something a little darker... Let's say it's because of thepain in my foot after my trip but the darkness is calling me, it's dark and mysterious out there in the black abyss...  

Deep in the darkness of The Forgotten - one of the best SL Events at this time of year - you can bump into all different kinds demonic monsters... 
Today we've bumped into one that is a little dark and demonic, but hiding in a place of the light, where it's warm and cozy... She's helped herself to a delicious bottle of juice from the "Pick your Poison" brand of drinks - available from hive at Equal10 - and standing there in the lava-like light she really catches and demands the attention.. 
Her head encircled by halos - like the Ishtar Headpiece from Six Feet Under, and the Shairi Halo from Petrichor at Trick or Treat Lane - allowing the passer by to see that she's a higher ranking demon. Her skin is marked up, blackened by the heat and scarred with Valhalla markings - from GERMINAL at Necrotize - and she definitely makes a statement, and she'd love to see you in the dark!!!

Demonic Oracle and her Pretty Nightmares

There have been so many monsters so far in my 31 days of Halloween looks, but nothing I'd consider to be truly scary... Until now... Tonight we're taking a very dark trip into the macabre darkness of the cemetery. It's the middle of the night now, there's a low hanging mist and an eerie stillness hangs over the grounds. It's lifeless, soul-less, bleak, all with the exception of one twisted looking being standing in the moonlight, and some of the craziest spirits whirling around her... 

If you are brave enough to get close, you will no doubt set your eyes upon one of the most twisted demonic ladies you'll ever find. She's an Oracle, the eyes on her masks and arms - from the Quills & Curiosities releases at Necrotize - and her body is covered in the markings of a Demon Bat - from the Forest Fantasy Store - and a mist aura cloaking her body. The strange spirits flying around in the mist happen to be a herd of NightMares - from Tardfish at The Guild - the remnants of the horses that carried the knights to war...

Dancing at the Rave in the Graveyard!

It's the 8th of October, and that means Day 8 of the 30 days of Halloween... Today's look is something that one might argue is a LITTLE close to some of my everyday style, with perhaps a dash more blood... It's Saturday Night though, and that means that we're getting ready for a night on the town... The little Monster in me is all glammed up, ready to have a party at the Rave Yard in the city, and tonight she's taking a date with her... 

The date in question is one of my favourite people in SL, and he's been with me for almost my entire Second Life... Dean and I have been through so much, he's always been there and has been my rock as well as one of my best friends. We don't often get a chance to pose together, but today we made that chance and since he looked SO Fabulous in the new Salt & Pepper "Desire" outfit, we had to head to the local "RaveYard" club - items from Neverwish - where the music is loud and there's nothing to do but dance the night away! 
I HAD to match his level of Fabulousness... So for my 8th day of Halloween look I glammed myself up as Frankenstein's Bride, complete with oodles of blood and bolts through my neck - bolts from HAUNT at The Engine Room - and her hair styled in such a glamorous Franks style - from FUNKYSTENTCH at Anthem. Accesorised with some beautifully sparkly Marilyn gems - from MOoH! - and some of the coolest looking SHRED piercings - from Normandy at Trick or Treat Lane, that I've shared in a close-up below to show off just a little better - I was ALMOST as fabulous as Dean! Almost, but not quite!!

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... 

What is she wearing;
Hat: Illusions - Anna French Hood
Hair: [Ginko Hair] - #97 Hair (Available until October 20th at The Engine Room)
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory

Smoke: Cole's Corner - Enchantress Aura & Soul Reaper Spectral Fog Aura

When the Bats sleep in the Belfry...

One of those lazy days, it's a day when I feel like I could have a little fun... It's nearly Halloween and it's a time that the Monsters are beginning to wake up and I think that I'm ready to start helping them to wake up... My favourite of them to wake is definitely the vampires, especially the lords of them... You could say that I'm a little bit of a fan girl when it comes to the dark, brooding, but non-Twilight vampire types hehe... 

The Lord of the Vampires will be deathly hungry when he wakes from his sleep... I think that he may need some entertainment and fresh blood when he wakes in his sleeping quarters. I'm willing to offer my services, if I can only get rid of his minders - thes adorable STOIC Bats - first...
The room is set ready for his 'arousal' - both figuratively and literally - and his Bed - from Violetility - is ready for him to Rest in Peace once he's done hehe...

Wonderland isn't so Mad, except the Hatter... She's INSANE!

The weather outside today is VERY cold and we actually have thick snow for the first time in a few years in the Netherlands, and I'll admit - that just like when it gets too hot - I'm not a fan of now. I get so worried that I will slip, in fact I usually have a habit of doing just that and never end up landing on my soft smushy butt! 
So I'm avoiding the cold and staying inside where it's warm - a great way to keep people locked down why didn't they think of this sooner lol - and I'm going to let my imagination slip off into a dark and twisted fantasy world, a place that looks so pretty yet hides a darker and much more twisted secret... After all, everyone know the story of Alice in Wonderland, but how many have experienced the Adventures in Mad Wonderland... 

Since the story of Wonderland was first written by Lewis Carroll, there have been many different variations on the characters contained within his world, and each and every one has it's own twist on the madness... Sometimes I have trouble deciding which I'd prefer to be - yes I think about it sometimes in the dark late nights - but it seems that today I landed myself into a very Hatterish themed frame of mind... The outfit just falling together as it was natural, and I admit that I'm a little darker than the scene I'm in but that's the twisted beauty of Wonderland... It can be a world full of hidden surprises hehe... 
My outfit today was actually - believe it or not - inspired by the amazing new Gacha collection from Misschevious, that will be available from ROMP on February 10th, which is a set of body wounds and tattoos based on Wonderland Madness... I chose to wear this soft, subtle set of Star Bites, and then the Rare Hatter scars, which of course is why I had to bring the Mad Hatter to life in my own Rudhish way... Of course she needed a hat - so I made life difficult by wearing the old Magician hair from Wasabi when it used to be Wasabi Pills LOL, and added some crazy almost Jokerish items like these amazing ROKINS Glasses - available for 60L as a part of Happy Weekend Sales. 

What is she wearing; 
Hat & Hair: Wasabi Pills (Rebranded to Wasabi) - Magician Hair 
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory 
Glasses: ROKINS - Glasses in Smile Die
