Trick or Treating for Pennies

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! The day of the darkest magic has finaly arrived and there is so much fun to be had... I'll admit to you now that this October has been a whole lot less Halloweeny than years gone by, and even though it feels like I've done a lot less Halloweeny stuff this year I'm kinda happy to just be able to relax and enjoy the chill in the air... 

I spent a long time trying to work out what I wanted to be this year for Halloween... I finally got my Hop(e) on - which also happens to be the name of the backdrop from K&S - and realised that posing in the sewer there was one character I had to be... The sewer seemed far too full of trash, and even the tentacle monster that dwells in the dark wants to escape... 
What kinda Halloween spooky lives in the sewer you might ask? For those of you that appreciate a good horror movie, there's only one real answer... I'm dressing all cute and evil clowish, I'm going to get my IT on... 
One of my store obsessions, Mug, made the perfectly girlie version of Pennywise's outfit - appropriately called Penny, and available until November 10th at Kustom9 - and with the addition of a little make-up to look a little Scherzo - in a make-up that is a Hunt Gift from Fallen Gods Inc, at the soon to shut Trick or Treat Lane - and my clowning around was ready...

Fighting in the Cosmic Clash

I know that most people don't associate the Halloween season with space based things, but for me, Aliens go hand in hand with my nightmares. I've always had a bit of a phobia about them, and it doesn't help that my Hubby is an Star Wars superfan, I'm never keen on thoughts of Space... I sometimes cannot help myself with thinking of the stars... 

I have seen all of Star Wars - and by ALL of Star Wars, I mean ALL of Star Wars with all the spin-offs and series and cartoons - and I have a thing for Baby Yoda, but not too sure if I'm that bothered by the rest of it... Just don't tell my husband... 
I think if I was in Star Wars I'd end up as a Rebel... Being a good girl can get a little boring... Although I've been a good girl for a while now, the inner baddie is desperate to escape under the surface... That doesn't mean I'm not a good girl... 
I'd jump in a starship in the middle of a Cosmic Clash - which happens to be a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - and I'd bring my own version of a droid, he's a bot that's perfect at making breakfast but is terrible in a fight - just so you know he's the Breakfast Bot from Aardvark, and I've been a little naughty in making his tray invisible for this picture's purposes but I've added the ad below so you can see how cute they are with breakfast trays...

Messages from Beyond

There is some magic in the air and as it's the Spooky season, it's definitely a little on the darker side of magic... 
Big predictions of things to come, sparkles of magic sharing their secrets in the crystal balls and talking through the whispers of the cards... 

The witches were gazing into their magically Luminous Crystal Balls - from LORE, available until October 31st at this year's round of Trick or Treat Lane - but as the message was only meant for the eyes Slither Eyes - a gorgeous eye release from The Little Bat, that is also available at ToTL - her companions were temporarily left like Wondering Witch Statues - from Moon.Phase, again, also available at Trick or Treat Lane... 
The message wasn't helped any by her little Fuzzy Spider friend - from Sakura - who knocked into the stack of Shadowed Veil Tarot cards - an amazing release that will really share a reading with you from the brilliant minds at MadPea, available until October 20th at The Fifty - and caused her to turn a little green... I mean it could be the eerie light radiating from the crystal ball, but she looks a little green with Envy - which by the way is a fantasy skin for 2024 from the amazing LUMAE at ToTL...

Hat & Hair: Magika - Abigail Hair & Spellcasters Hat

Finding the Magic in Fairy Shoes!

The magic seems to be fading, and the Midsummer Enchantment is drifting to a slow close - not that I'm unhappy about it, it just means we're one step closer to Halloween lol - but as the magic of the summer begins to fade we have to start looking elsewhere for our magic... 

While walking around, exploring a little, Rudh came across one of the most magical things... A Fairy Circle... You could see the magic sparkling within, and it was just perfect timing... Magic is something that she needs right now... 

She stepped into the Magical Fairy Circle - a creation by Raindale at this year's Midsummer Enchantment, which actually I should tell you closes it's doors tomorrow so DON'T MISS OUT!! - and sat down on a large wooden stump, kicking off my gorgeous, but not so walking through the woods friendly, Lyndis Booties - from Wicca's Originals - to rest my poor feet... 

It happened a few moments later, I fell into a sleep surrounded by the scent of cotton candy and when I woke after what seemed like an eternity - but could really have just been moments - a pair of the prettiest, daintiest fairy shoes... Like something from a fairytale, princess shoes that are made for dancing - the Viki "Tremane" Shoes, I should add hehe...

One more thing I want to add, aside from the story I'm sharing is a little close-up... You can see hints at my rings but you really need to see these gorgeous Velika Rituals "Eternal Mist" Rings, not to forget my Dark Passions "Lunar Tear" Nails too!!! Hence, a close-up was needed... 

What is she wearing; 

Hair: DOUX - Rain Hairstyle 

Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory 

Tattoo: [CAROL G] - Colina Tattoo in Black 

Dress: Belle Epoque - Georgina in Grey 

Nails: Dark Passions - Koffin Nails in Lunar Tear Black (Available until July 26th at Midsummer Enchantment)

An Infusion from Pandora's Box

Pandora's Box is due to close tomorrow, that means I have one more day to share with you some of the lovelies that are contained within the box... This box, was one that I thought would give me troubles but actually I've managed to enjoy EVERYTHING that it contains. My last Pandora's Box post for this month is perhaps a little more depraved than the previous posts... I've gone back to my roots of the depraved and macabre on this one hehe... 

One of the most noticeable things from this post - aside from a final reappearance of the BellePoses photo prop - is this Cyber Suit and collection of Infusion Needs from Nightmare - available in the Pandora's Box - with both sets of things coming in various cyber punk style bright colours. As much as I love the bright colours of the bodysuit, it's the Infusion set that gets me excited and I can guarantee this will come out again soon, maybe for Halloween - dun dun dunnnnnnn lol... While on the subject of Nightmare, although not for Pandora's Box, I think I injected myself too much with the Infusion, it's started pouring from my eye and lips... No wonder my eyes reacted like they did, taking on a Cybernetic Eye - from QE Designs in this month's Pandora's Box - type quality. The eye leaking even destroyed my carefully applied Dark Passions Cyber Goth Eye Make-up. 

Now because this is a Pandora's Box post... You may want a reminder about Pandora's Box... As a basic reminder, the best place to go to sign up for your box is the Pandora's Box HQ. Now that the box has been opened the cost will be 2500L, which will allow you to join the group and get your box - bear in mind though that you only have until August 30th to do so - and all those wonderful goodies will be yours. Then after the last day in May the group will be emptied and sign up begins for the following month's box - which if you join the group before the release date will be 1500L! You can get more information about this at the Pandora's Box Website!!

What is she wearing;
Hair: TRUTH - Lady in Redhead
Skin: Glam Affair - Seya in Europa 2
Eye Make-up: Dark Passions - Cyber Goth in Green  (Available in Pandora's Box August) 
Eyes: QE Designs - Cybernetic Eyes (Available in Pandora's Box August)

Horror Haute was Simply the Best!

Today is the day... It's the last of the posts that I can share with you for this month's Horror Haute line-up... There are still TONS of things that I've not shown you, but then hey I cannot show you everything as that would possibly ruin a few surprises... You'll have to trust me when I say that these have been my favourites but there are so many things out there that you shouldn't miss!
I've made two simple pictures for this post, so that we ease you out gently and that way hopefully you won't get withdrawl symptoms LOL...

The first is a bit more showy than the second! It's possibly because there was a visit from the Day of the Dead partygoers lol... The head dress is a "Simply the Best" re-release from Lilith's Den for this month's Horror Haute theme, and I simply couldn't resist sharing this as my favourite for the store. I love the little skulls with those HUGE bright flowers - this really sums up Dia de los Muertos for me. I decided to wear the headdress simply, without hair, but with a new release from a store that's Horror Haute but this Sthenno Latex Bodysuit - from ImmateriA - is actually available at The Alchemy this month!
Then for the pose... I decided to use another item from the La Maison des Corbeaux's - LMdC for short - re-releases... This time it was Dia de los Muertos themed to match the outfit I'd chosen! The pouf style stools are a series called My Sugar Skull, each in a different colour with bright patterns over the top... Such a cute item to have in a house of an sugar skull girl!

The last of the Horror Haute Items I am going to share with you this month is the one above... The set of nails are the Dark Passions Koffin Nails in a Monster Movie Madness print... I love that they are printed with the original horror monsters of movies, and I will admit that though I photoshopped to be able to show you all of the designs, it would have been too tough to choose just one print to show you!!
So that's it, Horror Haute is officially open until the beginning of August, and then there will be lots more pretties to come from the new line-up! For now if you haven't checked out Simply the Best then you should, what are you waiting for?!

What is she wearing;
Head Dress & Mask: Lilith's Den - Dia De Los Muertos in Set E (Available Now at Horror Haute July)
Body Suit - ImmateriA - Sthenno Latex in Purple (Available Now at The Alchemy)
Nails: Dark Passions - Koffin Nails in Monster Movie Madness (Available Now at Horror Haute July)
Stool: LMdC - My Sugar Skull in Orange Crush (Available Now at Horror Haute July)

The end of Horror Haute as we know it... Changes are coming...

Horror Haute comes to a close for this month today, and next month is already shaping up to be a HUGE kettle of fish for the team... We're swelling in size due to the incoming union of two standing events... We had a corporate take over - of sorts - for events known as Spooky Cute and Against the Mainstream... Things behind the scenes of the Haute are also changing... There is much to come and my excitement is building, I CANNOT WAIT TO TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT hehe.. For that though you need to wait until next month, Mwhahahahahaha... 
Let me talk more about the last of the Voodoo things that you can grab today... Remember the event closes today and these things will go back to main store locations... If you miss them at the event, the prices may change too... DON'T MISS OUT! 

I have three Horror Hauteish things on in this photo... First off the Mask, which I have to say does stand out is the iVoudou Mask from Tasty Pudding. It has a selection of different make-up colours, and a mask that rolls through various different patterns and colours to create a very eerie magical effect! I wore a top from AfterMath Creations with a Damballa print, and then accessorised with some of the coolest nails I have seen in a LONG time... These nails might make you squeamish but the Dark Passions Voodoo Pinned Nails are simply amazeballs!!! 

The last of May's Horror Haute line up that I want to share, I cannot forget and miss this as it is just so cute, is the Thirst Dress from Blue Blood. The dresses are in various colours, with and without the floral prints, but they are a perfect look for a Voodoo dolly, that is if you can ignore the blood LOL... I LOVE blood so I have no issue going out in a dress that is soaked in it however LOL... 
So that's it for Horror Haute May, if you haven't been in you SHOULD... Time is ticking and the event closes today! Next Month, we have something MASSIVE and very special planned... Watch this space I tell ya!!
