Glamorous Monsters of the Deep

I guess I'm feeling a bit better, I mean I'm not great, no where near back to normal, but tomorrow I've decided that I'll attempt working again. It won't be an all day thing yet, I'm prone to crying a lot and I KNOW tomorrow is going to be hard... The last time I worked, Mum was still alive, but I'm with colleagues that I will look after me and I'm just trying this out... Wish me luck tomorrow... 
For right now though, I'm going to have to do something that distracts me, and tries to remove that nervous energy I have... The best way to do that is to slip into a little fantasy world, right?! 
The best of those seems to be fairy or, if I'm really needing time away from the real world, Mer.... Today We're under the sea, in the ruins of an abandoned, yet haunting city... 

I love being a mermaid or something monstrous under the sea... I dunno why, I guess it's just my favourite of the fae folk... This time I'm a little more of the sea monster variety, but one that is adorning herself in a million different treasures of the deep...

Angellic Sacrifice

So today I had to have the day off for a Snow Day, the busses couldn't run and tomorrow I'll be home again which is giving me a chance to feel a little more rested and lot less nervous. Though I will say that the thought of going out in the snow instantly causes my anxiety to appear and I start feeling a little sick on the inside... Friday I have to go to work, Friday is a whole day away, while I have the day at home, I am going to spend the day hoping beyond all hope that the snow clears up so that it's NOT slippery on Friday... 

I don't know if the weather spirits will be able to help but I think that maybe I'll have to find a way to ask those in a higher power... No matter which of the dark gods is there and willing to help, I'll take any help... I'll leave them any kind of gift that they want, I'll sacrifice the Angels so that I can make it into work safely without slipping on Friday and Saturday... I can't not go to work again, I'm letting other people down and I HATE that, and on top of the feelings I am already dealing with, the thought of going out where it's slippery is just the knock my anxiety needs... SO, lets summon the dark gods and light the candles, as a Wax Witch - which happens to be the name of the candles worn on Rudh's shoulders from Static, available until January 18th at The Warehouse - has chained an angel into their magical ring and now we wait...

Frost & Snow Elemental

I am once again trying to find a little magic, I NEED some more after the boring day I had at work today. I got home and went in search of the sparkle that would make this season perfect... 
It's rather warm for this time of year at the moment, it's supposed to be Christmas soon, how can it be warm. I bet the big festive day will be warm and wet... Lets see if we can find a little of that frost and snow sparkle... 

On my search, I managed to find just the fae that I was looking for... She's a Snow Elemental - thanks to a set from Faunus - that can be found hiding in the Frostlace Ballroom - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - creating some magic and a few soft snowflake sparkles... I don't want it to snow, I'm not a fan of the snow but I wish I could let the weather get cooler and feel more festive... Just enough so the leaves get a little frosted...

Geodes and Demons

I don't know what is going on with me but I seem to be on a bit of a crazy character, fantasy kick at the moment... I LOVE the fact I'm being able to be creative... I LOVE when my mind wanders to the fantasy places where the sparkles are sparkly and the monsters are magical... 

I got myself a new blogger gig today... I am now officially blogging for Static, and they are a store that seems perfect for creating the fantasy and the random and I CANNOT wait until I can really get myself into things...

The Arachne Queen

Spent the day spring cleaning my house in RL a little bit, my parents are coming to visit me this weekend and so I HAVE to get my space all spick and span for the proverbial Royal Visit... 
There has been a problem or two whilst cleaning today though, I realised that my home has been harbouring unwanted guests... THERE ARE SPIDERS IN MY DARK CORNERS!!!! I nearly had to move out... 
Rudh on the other hand was more than willing to bask in their praise, she let things get to her head a little more than she perhaps should have... She became their Queen!

Everyone thinks of their home as their castle, and now that we have free loading tennants, Rudh plans on taking that thought to the extreme... She's going to let these little friends move in fully, fill her castle - which is actually an old rare item from a MINIMAL Gacha collection,  Westwing Castle - with eggsacs, dinner bodies and their remnants - items from Botanical - to make the place feel just that little bit cosier! 
The Spider Queen has crowned herself with the Arachne Crown - a creepy release from Evil Baby - and she will rule over the arachnids in the darkened halls...

Crown: Evil Baby - Arachne Crown
Hair: Doe - Tingle

The Basement of the Spider Queen

I am missing Halloween... This time last year, HellBone had begun working on the Gators MC Halloween Maze, but this year since the Gators has closed that´s not something that will be happening... I miss preparing the dark side, I miss the feeling of thinking "will it be scary enough?" and watching the plans come together to create something Halloweeny! 
So today, I think I'm going to slip into something a little on the scarier side - tapping into the arachnaphobia - while I play with my spidery friends... 

In the basement - a skybox backdrop from Paparazzi - where the spiders lurk in the dark, but oddly glittering cobwebs, you may, if you look hard enough, find the Spider Princess... 
She's wearing her Arachnid Tiara and the Widow Bindi - both of which are from Six Feet Under - while spiders and webs decorate her look, even having a few in her mouth and on her tongue - thanks to Aii... 

What is she wearing; 
Tiara: Six Feet Under - Arachnid Headpiece 
Hair: Doe - Tingle Spiders in LootBox 2 RARE

TAG! The board is it!

There is a new gacha phenomenon in town that seems to be taking many SL'ers by storm... The Arcade is one of the biggest and best known shopping events that SL has to offer these days, but I think that this could be bigger, better and a little more entertaining?!
I am talking about TAG Gacha... If you love the Arcade, you will no doubt love this equally as much, and with the addition of a trail to follow, each area with a different section of a storyline and some fab prizes then I am sure you may love this even more... I know I did!
It's well planned, well executed and filled with some cute stores that will appeal to all different tastes. PLUS, if the chance of regular games of chance in the gachas wasn't enough for you, then the addition of the Mystery Tickets in which you can win super rare prizes makes it all the more exciting! I REALLY HOPE that this event comes back more, because it was fun to waste some time doing!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

I really enjoyed hopping around to different stores and finding some hidden gems during this event... I also, as is always with Gacha Machines, spent far too much money hehe... Some of the prizes I won seem perfect in combination, very spidery, which was lucky as maybe blending in will help me avoid the spiders in the maze?!
The Venomous Hair - who'd have ever thought that I would choose to wear blonde and pink hair? - is an Olive creation. I've not really paid much attention to the Olive hairs, but I think I am going to have to shop there and try some demos at least now! The Gemma Skin, complete with it's wounded mouth, from [theSkinnery], and the Clemmm Scope Eyes worked perfectly together to create a somewhat broken dolly effect, and the addition of the adorable little Half Deer Heart Hugger Bat made the whole outfit a lot cuter. Well as cute as a mummy spider can get as she glances back at her large Hanging Spider Egg Sac, available now from Botanical. All of these things are TAG Event Items!!! How cool is that?!
One more thing that needs a mention but isn't TAG, is the cute dress I'm wearing. This, although only the top is visible, is a dress released from Strumpettes for the past round of the Witching Hour event. It's an underbust dress with optional layers to cover the nungas, and as a spiderweb design, this one is fairly cute hehe... Just because the Witching Hour is over this month, doesn't mean you can't find it so don't feel like you've missed out, and therefore if you wanted it, please don't kill me hehe!!!

Hair: Olive - the Venomous Hair (Available now at the TAG Gacha Event)
