A Rest before the Salvage Station!

June 1st today, and there are lots of things going on in our little corner of the world that Second Life looks like a really fun and wonderful place to be... Pride at Home and the fun events surrounding Pride started today, leading in the events for the month... One of those events is totally different from the rainbows and sparkles of Pride, is the opening of Salvage Station... 
It's Electrifying... 

The Atomotel - a building kit from LORE for Second Life Syndicate's Salvage Station, opening today until June 30th - is like a neon mirage in the middle of the Grand Canyon desert... This perfect, little neon hotel is run by a little miss Frankie, who will welcome you to her hotel as you make your trip to the Salvage Station, so long as there is no funny business and she doesn't have to introduce you to her Stun Nail Bat - from Arts&Gear, also at Salvage Station - which will be more of a shock when she hits you with it than any normal bat...

A Puppy Awakening!

I have to admit that even though today has been the first weekend off I have hd in a few weeks and that I had SUCH HUGE plans to get things done, I find myself feeling sluggish. I'm being slow in everything as I've got no desire to do anything that involves moving... I want to read, I want to laze around, I want to sit back and chill but I have so much to do... Someone wake me up, make me some coffee or something?!

I can't pick up my phone today, without being lost to doom scrolling. I can't sit on the sofa without staring off into space. I can't do anything without letting my mind wander to other things and distract me from the main thing I should be focusing on... 
I sat Rudh down to do her make-up, her Ghoufriend Make-Up - from HAUNT available until August 20th at Midnight Order - if you will, and it was all going well, until she suddenly woke up at the arrival of the cute-looking but somewhat evilly divalicious Pawradise Pups - from Aardvark, and yes they are cute I'm just being silly calling them evil, at Collabor88 until September 7th - arrival... Their arrival means that the Demons are Coming... I better hurry up and get ready...

Lights on at the Engine Room

It's definitely feeling a lot more like Autumn in my part of the world, which is really bringing me HUGE amounts of happiness... It's a time to start snuggling up, cozying in and turning the lights on early... 
When discussing the turning on of the lights though, it has come to the attention of MANY of Second Life's weird and wonderful residents that the lights have been turned on within the Engine Room, and the doors are now officially open once more... The lights are on, everyone is welcome and we're all going to have fun when we're inside... 

There are so many nooks and crannies within the halls of the Engine Room, but for our first visit today we're heading downstairs to the Bunker Basement - a backdrop from K&S - where the electricity boxes are, and where if we're lucky we might get to meet one of Second Life's shyest residents... She's a creation that was spawned by the great Frankenstein and his collaboration with a certain scientist by the name of Edison, marked with a tattoo on her rust tainted skin - a skin and tattoo from Fallen Gods Inc, available until October 20th at Engine Room - Edison gave her a part of his greatest invention. She wears a Bulb Bouquet - made by CABALPIER also at Engine Room - on her back, to lighten even the darkest corners of her Second Life...

Salem's Sisters

Yesterday I missed my chance at working on a 31 Days of Halloween look since I was down and out with a terrible migraine... I guess that's why today I went above and beyond and over did things a little, making not just ONE but four of Salem's sisters... Three of the sisters are fairly sensible, focusing on their magic, but the fouth is a bit zany and would rather be riding around on her broom... 
However, I guess we should let the sisters practice what they do best... 

In the Black Widow Pad - a backdrop from Synnergy.Tavis - the Salem Sister's - a pose from -Extra- - stand over the HUGE bubbling cauldron - which is a prop from MadPea - to cast a spell and practice some of the darkest of Halloween magic. Today, they throw in some Koroko Flesh - from Just Tony - a big juicy steak that's been prepped to replicate a heart and some delicious Packaged "Meat" of the Ex-Boyfriend variety - thanks to the brand new releases that are available from Junk Food -  it was time to give someone a little payback!!! 
Although these sisters are a coven, known by all as the Salem Sisters, each one of them has their own special sense of style, perhaps they are a little like the powerpuff girls of witchcraft!

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!!
