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)

Hogs and Carts for Horror Haute

Not everything in the latest line-up of Horror Haute, for their Simply the Best round, can be worn... Some things are best rezzed! I've noticed there is also a great deal of the goodies from this month which will be less useful for the male population of SL than the female...Though there is one booth at the event that is 100% Unisex, so boys this one will appeal to you...
I have to admit that I am also a little bit biased for this booth, as it is the one for Hogs and Cart Wheels - or H&C Wheels for short - that is owned by my hubby HellBone!

Hogs and Cart Wheels is a fairly new store to the Horror Haute line-up, and so they have had one vehicle which can participate until now. The VooDoo has been made available at it's original Horror Haute Price of 50L for the duration of the event, but the other cars are what HellBone wants to share with you now...
How do you fancy a MESH Ghostbusters vehicle for only 200L? This would normally be sold for 2000L, and it comes with all the things you'd hope to find in a Ghostbusters car with the exception of the Ghostbusters and the ghosts LOL... Another of his cars, the Wolfenstein, has been reduced to 100L until the end of the event, and there are a selection of bikes for only 50L each too...
These are PERFECT for guys or girls, and I promise you now if you have any issues I will personally make sure he fixes them for you hehe!!!

Cars & Bike: Hogs & Cart Wheels - Vehicle Selection (Available Now at Horror Haute July)

Vampires on the Beach

Who'd have thought it?! For what may be possibly my first of two Horror Haute based posts today, I am taking a trip to the beach to my friend- Mrs Dracula's beach house! She doesn't tend to use this place much during the daylight hours, so when she offered and told me to make use of everything including all her clothing in the wardrobe I jumped at the chance!
Being a vampire at the beach has it's perks I guess, you never have to fight to get the perfect spot and that moon glow must be pretty good for keepng a pale shimmering complexion, but when you're using a vampires things during a daytime trip to the beach, bare in mind that a Black Parasol will block out all of the light LOL...

The beach I am visiting today is one called Amavatar Paradise, and if you're a photographer this place is great because you can rez props and the like here - just a little tip for those of you that are interested - I needed to find somewhere in which I could rez some of the awesome collection that came from Livid for this month's Horror Haute!
In fact with the exception of my skin and hair - which was a past Arcade release from Truth, everything you see me wearing as well as the bag and furniture comes from Livid for the Simply the Best Horror Haute event. Yes, you see that right, you not only get the furniture and the bag, you also get the swimsuit, shoes and hat!!! It's such a bargain!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Truth - Damaris Hair (Past Arcade Release)
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)
Face Wounds: Utopiah - Excessive Pain Makeup
Nose Piercing: DirtyStories - Heart Nose Piercing (Past Suicide Dollz Item)
Outfit & Props (Including All Accessories & Furniture): Livid - Vampira at the Beach Doll (Available Now at Horror Haute July)

The Psycho TeddyBear Killer!

It's that time again... SIMPLY THE BEST time again... But this time I bring to you, someone fairly new to the Horror Haute event - at least this is the first time that I have seen them participate, maybe I am confused in the summer heat but someone will slap me and tell me otherwise if I'm wrong!
Today is horrific because I spent some time torturing and finally impaling an interloping teddybear! Normally I love plushies, I welcome them into my house - either RL or SL by the way - and give them all the love and attention they desire, but this little teddy was caught harming one of my little friends... LOL... So I brutally tortured him and then impaled him with my antlers LOL...

Gosh, that makes me sound more than a little insane right? I'm not sure Horror is the right word, more like Psycho perhaps?!
Still it's not entirely my fault, it can be in part blamed to today's "Simply the Best" Horror Haute outfit... As I said, this store seems to be new to the line-up, but it seems to be very promising! Actually I am in love with this outfit hehe... The dress is a gacha item, and this is a rare patterned version of the Grimina Grunge Dolly Dresses. The antlers however are my favourite items! They are Devilish Deer Teddy Hunter Horns, and although I chose the deer version there are demon and unicorn versions available too! Both of these items are available now at the Horror Haute location from {MOEKO}, and if this is what they are offering up for this month, I cannot wait to see what more comes from this store!! It's so exciting to find somewhere new that you like!!
The rest of the look I kept fairly simple, not wanting to distract from the dress... A cute Ring Collar from tapi, and my SpellBound wig held back by a pretty hairband... All in the cause of asking the gods for rain, whilst doing a rain dance, to cleanse myself of teddybear blood!  

What is she wearing;
Antlers: {MOEKO} - Devilish Deer Teddy Hunter Horns (Available Now at Horror Haute July)
Hair: SpellBound - Muse in Prints (Past Arcade Release)
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)
Eyelids: SLINK - Mesh Lids and Lashes

Pose: Signature Pose - Aron 1

The SongBird at the Masquerade Ball

Even monsters like to dance...
I've always wondered what it would be like going to a masquerade and so this little monster was allowed to go to the ball! Though I am not sure she quite understood about wearing a mask to hide her identity... She just chose to make her skin into her mask!
Still isn't she cute!!!! She's a Horror Haute Princess, the belle of the Masquerade Ball, Horror Haute's Simply the Best hehe...

As you may well know this month's theme for Horror Haute is Simply The Best of Horror Haute... I've been working through the myriad of items sent by the Horror Haute Participating designers, and have so many pretty things to share, today it's the turn of SongBird and Stargazer Creations to take center stage!
I'm pretty sure I've used these items before, but as it is the best of then I am justified in using them again. The skin is one called Death Doll, from Stargazer Creations, and like always the set comes with a million different extras including appliers! Such amazing quality, I wouldn't be going anywhere else for fantasy skins now! The set also includes the pretty Death Doll Collar that I am wearing here too!
The SongBird Mask of the Dead has to be one of my favourite and most gruesome Horror Haute releases over the past 5 months. You should all know by now just how much I love a good wound, and this one is a brilliant one!
So that's two more of my Horror Haute Favourites, there are lots more to come to stay tuned and watch this space!!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Puft - Rhythm in Darks Pack
Skin & Collar: [Stargazer Creations] - Death Doll (Available Now at Horror Haute July)

Simply the Best of Horror Haute ImmateriA

Horror Haute - as I am sure you will hear more than once at over the coming weeks - is celebrating a change and therefore is running a round that is to be known as the "Simply the Best" round... IT IS MASSIVE! There is so much awesome stuff, spanning over the previous 5 event themes that if you missed things now is your chance to get them, or perhaps find one of the new awesome exclusives that are available... Each designer has set up their 5 favourite items, and I have decided that I will pick my personal favourites to share with you here...
First up, ImmateriA! This has always been one of my favourite stores in the Horror Haute line-up, as things from this store tend to be different from the norm, and very creative in their design!

The outfit that I have chosen from ImmateriA isn't one of my normal go-to looks either. I tend to shy away from a lot of things in the Sci-Fi category, purely and simply and I'm not ashamed to admit it either, because I am terrified of aliens... This time however, when I tried on the Dead Space outfit from ImmateriA, I decided that I could pull the look off without fear of alien encounter, it's dead space after all hehe... I went down a more futuristic path, creating a Rudh Cyborg - serves me right for watching an old Terminator movie recently - and ran around at Insilico to find the perfect photography location!
The Dead Space outfit includes along with the dress, this awesome leg attachment. See your own android power flickering between the wires in your leg... It's such a great idea and definitely a fun accessory... BUT seeing that I decided to play up the cyborg Rudh look... I remembered this older now, but still freaking awesome hair from Discord Designs that is made entirely of Ethernet Cables! If that doesn't look like a futuristic robot Rudh, then I give up lol, I'm not very good at Sci-Fi LOL...
Still ImmateriA has always and will always no doubt be one of my favourite Horror Haute stores... It's simply one of the best hehe... For this and lots of other awesome items, check out Horror Haute, and keep checking back to see my other Horrorific favourites brought to life!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Discord Designs - Codie in Flagrant System Error (Past Event Release)
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)
Face Wounds: Utopiah - Excessive Pain Makeup
Dress & Leg Attachment: ImmateriA - Event Horizon in Dead Space (Available Now at Horror Haute July)
Rings: (Claw) Death Row Designs - Iron Fingerclaws, AND, (Pretty) Kibitz - Eternal ring set in Silver (Past Event Release)
Pose: Signature Pose - Ade 5 (Available Now for My Slink Obsession)

Horror Haute is Simply the Best...

This month, we are celebrating the Horror Haute... There have been some massive changes within the event planning, and we've even taken on the day to day running of two new to the team events! 
So this month, to give our awesome organisers - Miss AnnabelleLee Dreadlow and Miss Aggie MacTavish - a chance to sort things out in their heads as to how planning will work moving forward, the Horror Haute Theme for this month is "Simply the Best"...
Participating designers - and there are a good handful of them - will be releasing items so that you can grab them once again at their Horror Haute prices... They may even have created some new, exclusives for the event, so I cannot wait to show you what's in store...

Over the next week or so I plan on sharing with you some of the releases, chosing my favourites from their favourites... For now though I am going to share a collage of my blogging for the event... A collage of my own personal "Simply the Best of Horror Haute" as a blogger!!
Some of these are fairly old, but from the top working down, I'll share a link so you can check out the details! Top Left is a Nightmare in the Kitchen, then in the right corner is a sign that Even Hell's Demon's love Horror Haute! Bottom left, possibly the oldest photo I've chosen is something about summoning a demon with a Horror Haute Tribute, and then a nod to how excited Horror Haute makes me because I was Rolling or Falling for one round of the event LOL... The photo in the middle is one of my favourite Horror Haute - if not my favourite - I LOVED this theme so much and we all were told to Bring Out Your Dead for Horror Haute's plague theme...
Still I have a lot of work to get on with to show off the awesome goodies you can get your hands on this month, or if you cannot wait to check it out, go take a look at the Horror Haute Event Space!!! It's Simply the Best!!!

Third Times a Voodoo...

Time for a little more Voodoo magic... I am on a roll this month, three looks in three days, all of them focused on the Voodoo side of SL and the awesome releases from this month't Horror Haute! 
There is so much choice in this month's line-up that any Voodoo King or Queen would feel right at home and be able to get themselves a new wardrobe all at once!

This look was inspired by one of these outfits... The Ghost Story Releases are a series of three different coloured dress and turban sets called Marie Leveau. I chose a redish coloured one and removed my hair so that it looked perfect with the scarf draped around my head. I kept the rest of the outfit simple so that I could showcase the clothing better, I added a pair of Aftershok VooDoo shoes and a Helian Necklace from KOSH, and then my third Voodoo look was complete!!! 

What is she wearing;
Skin: Glam Affair - Lauren in America 07 (Past Collabor88 Item)
Face Wounds: Utopiah - Excessive Pain Makeup
Nose Piercing: DirtyStories - Heart Nose Piercing (Past Suicide Dollz Item) 
Lip Piercing: Cute Poison - Wounded Piercing 
Necklace: KOSH - HELIAN NECKLACE in Amber 
Head & Arm Jewellery: Kibitz - Nara Set (Available at the Fantasy Gacha Carnival)
Outfit including Head Scarf: ]Ghost Story[ - Marie Leveau in Blood Moon (Available Now for Horror Haute May) 
Shoes: Aftershok - VooDoo Shoes (Available Now for Horror Haute May) 
Pose: Dimma - Ghost Dancing 1 

Voodoo can be a little fast too...

I'm back with a little more of that Horror Hauteish Voodoo today... There is SO MUCH good stuff that let's face it, there may be a little more yet before I let you forget about the mysterious religion! OR before I let you forget about that song that, if you're anything like me, will have been stuck in your head any time someone mentions the word Voodoo... I'm not kidding, as soon as I hear or see the word, I get all "I'm not the one whose so far away, when I feel the snakebite enter my veins" LOL... Check out the Godsmack Voodoo song if you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you will feel my pain... 
Still, I have decided that this time the Voodoo needs to be able to go a little faster - maybe that will leave my head quicker? I dunno, anyway - it's also my darling Hubby's first time in the Horror Haute Team... I can use the idea of fast Voodoo to give him some shameless promotion hehe... 

Seeing as I mentioned him, the first thing in this photo that I really want to point out is the Bike. It looks a little small as I stand next to it, but it's a Race Bike and I am wearing some incredibly tall heels - from Eccentricities as part of their Hogun release for Horror Haute by the way - when you sit on the bike you lean quite far forward hehe... This Voodoo Race Bike from H&C Wheels - my hubby's store - is a lean, mean, drifting machine, complete with it's own skulls and shrunken zombie head to make it the perfect high speed transport for any Voodoo king or queen... 
Anyway as I was riding around in the swamp, looking for potion items, I spotted a newly cleaned human skull... YAY!! To make it seem even better, my necklace REALLY seemed to like the new skull, this is one of those Salem Madam Layaux Necklaces - it glows in the eyes when it's happy hehe... 
The skull around my neck seems to really love the new skull I found, but I AM IN LOVE with the rest of my Voodoo styling too today. Starting with the outfit, it's made up of bits from Horror Haute, the boots I have mentioned, but the dress and legstraps are items from {LUNAtic} simply HAD to be worn. I LOVE the patchwork dress and the pin straps are so handy, as you never know when you need to stick one in a doll hehe... Not that I'm that malicious, well not often anyhow lol... Normally I carry a doll with me everywhere, but not this time, not since I pulled on a new Voodoo Skin from [Stargazer Creations]... As always the Stargazer skin is amazing. Aggie really knows how to create gorgeous fantasy skins! I mean REALLY KNOWS! 
But I think I've stood here long enough yammering on about things, it's time for this Voodoo Biker Chick to raise some hell in the swamp... Till later, I WILL BE BACK hehe...

Hair: CATWA - Daizy

The Death Cart is Leaving...

The Horror Haute Death Cart is about to roll out... Today is the last day that you can get your hands on the Plague infested wears and I will excitedly tell you that this month has been one of my favourites. It has been brilliant for a Living Dead Dolly like myself. However the Death Cart rolls out today, taking the plague victim collector along with it... Yes the plague was so bad, this body collector died too...

*dimma* has created some awesome grieving poses for this month's Horror Haute line-up - you can see one in the close up photo below - but the Death Cart Pose Prop is by far my favourite pose of the month. Either Pull, mourn or act like the dead, this cart has all the poses a Plague Body collector might need!
Now, as a Death Collector I needed to make sure that I was dressed the part... I had to look professional! I called in The Untitled, and they created this brilliant Death Collector Outfit, complete with jacket, trousers and bowler hat! As a final accessory, I added the cute Black Death Necklace from ImmateriA, which by the way has a cute matching ring available too!
Then bad things started to happen... My skin became pale as the Plague settled into my body - thanks to Reboot for that - my eyes, although always a pretty shade of green, became deranged and diseased looking - curtesy of Laudanum Lollipops - and then right before my eyes the Symptomatic nature of the Plague took control of my body... My fingers started to die right before my eyes, and the last thing I remember before I fell into my Death Cart was the call of a SongBird!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Magika - Things
Skin: Reboot - Plague Skin (Available Now for Horror Haute March)
Eyes: Laudanum Lollipops - Death's Stare (Available Now for Horror Haute March)

Close-Up Pose: *dimma* - Sadness & Grief Poses (Available Now for Horror Haute March)

Bring Out Your Dead for Horror Haute

BRING OUT YOUR DEAD... BRING OUT YOUR DEAD... The calls of the death cart mean can be heard as the rickety old wooden carts are trundled through the streets, creaking and groaning under the weight of the pile of bodies their carts now contain. The streets are infested with rats, now the cats are all dead. The stench unbearable... Yet those brave men in their Plague Masks and robes trundled through the streets collecting the diseased bodies... 
They missed one though... A crazed scientist kept a pretty - if you could call her that as she was covered in plague sores - young lady in his laboratory. Keeping her alive on a diet of fresh type O blood, she was to be his greatest experiment... He was to find a cure for the plague! 

Horror Haute is back with a monthly dose of the macabre... YAY! I have to say that looking at all the goodies available this is one of those months that really got me excited! Zombie Me was tickled pink by having a lot of new things to play with, skins, eyes and all those other things that a dead girl needs! 
First of all though let me tell you about the location... It was so much fun to wander around the Channel Island Asylum, it seems well put together and the place has a strange sense of eeriness considering it doesn't feel too deadly until you wander further in hehe... Be aware of the things in the dark corners!!! 
I have two Horror Haute-y - yes I know it's not a word - items to show you for now, there is a LOT more plague to come but for now just two pretty things... Firstly and possibly the most obvious thing is the AMAZING skin and eye set from Stargazer Creations. The skin comes in 3 different tones, each with or without the infected look, and the eyes can either be normal - I mean normal for a Plague Victim - or infected too... 
The other thing I wanted to share here was this Necklace and Ring set from ImmateriA called Ashes. At first glance the brilliant orange stone is just like any other jewel... Until you look closer.... 
With the help of a handy gif... let me reveal to you the secrets the jewel contains!!!!

Blood Slurpee anyone?

Hair: Ploom - Yuki (Past Event Release)

Her Lovers Hand...

Horror Haute is almost coming to a close for the month of February... The Dark Duets are once again being resigned to the darkness and will no doubt haunt that  romantic darkness for always. Finally the Valentine Month is coming to a close, The line-up of Horror Haute will close a day later however, February is such a short month and who doesn't love an extra day to find some awesome goodies! 

Sometimes you get things from designers and think WHAT THE HECK am I going to do with that?! This was one of those times, because as I unpacked the decorative item "The Hand that Loved" from La Maison des Corbeaux I will admit that I had a MASSIVE blogger block LOL... Then I was thinking, what would I do if someone gave me the hand of someone I love on a stick, that was still wearing their wedding ring!?! I'd cry!!!
This mystical warrior princess has just been handed the mounted hand of the man she loves...
The warrior princess wears the most amazing accessories... The leather tasselled collar and it's matching epaulettes are a release for The Fantasy Collective from May's Soul. They really called to me, as did a LOT of things from this month's line-up of industrial goodies! A halo from [TfAtN] marked out her mystery warrior element, but it was the mask that gave her the true power. The Mask of Poulpe ImmateriA, the part of the warrior units Dark Masquerade ceremonial garb! 
The last part of her outfit that you may want to pay attention to, is the amazing necklace from Kunglers Extra. A Beautiful Elenyr Necklace in the Obsidian tone... So intricate, so gorgeous... I may have to get more in other colours!!! 

What is she wearing;
Halo: [TfAtN] - Elemental Halo in Fire/Black RARE (Past Event Release)
Hair: Truth - Rogue Messy 
Mask: ImmateriA - Dark Masquerade Mask in Poulpe (Available now for Horror Haute February)

Sometimes even a Queen has to smile...

In the post-apocalyptic future, when the world is dark and uninviting a new world power will emerge. Once ignored, and in fact laughed at by some, Living Dead Dolly Rudh will rise up and be queen of the zombie folk, eating the brains of all that stand in her way!!! 
Permanently wearing her forced smile, you will never know what this evil queen is looking at whilst she glares through her good but yet still damaged and altered eye.

OK so it wouldn't be perfect, but All Hail Zombie Queen Rudh LOL... 
I got inspired and created my own little world again in my head LOL... I seem to do that a lot, perhaps far more than is healthy maybe? Still I had one last Horror Haute item to play with and couldn't resist letting my mind run away with me! 
The Crushed Violets offering was my starting point. Crushed Violets brings us a gas mask with a difference for Horror Haute this month, called Tokyo Ghoul. That forced smile seems especially evil with the glowing eyes - included in the set! 
To make it just that little bit more Horror Haute, and a little bit less living look, I wore the [Stargazer Creations] Yurei Skin in M04 too... I have been wearing these a lot lately, they come in a few different designs and the awesome applier to change Mesh Body parts to match... SUCH A GREAT idea, and a really good collection for any Living Dead Dolly! 
Then as a finishing touch, a much needed item for any queen I must say, was the Remarkable Oblivion Sylver Crown. I've been holding on to this for a while, looking for just the right royal to wear it, I think this one rocks it perfectly, don't you agree? 
So that's it from me, another month of Horror Hauting is over and out... The event runs until tomorrow, Saturday January 31st, so you still have time to get your hands on any of the Horror Haute goodies this month, and who knows what next month's theme will bring?! 

What is she wearing;
Crown: Remarkable Oblivion - Sylver Crown (Past Event Release) 
Hair: Ploom - Siri (Available Now at My Attic) 
Skin: [Stargazer Creations] - Yurei Skin in M04 (Available for Horror Haute January) 
Face Wounds: (Under the Eyes) Utopiah - Excessive Pain Makeup, AND, (Cheek) Fallen Doll - WickedFaceScar

Top: cheeky - Anna Half Shirt 
Pose: Signature Pose - Paul Shaun 5 

Ummmm HellBone, what's that on the TV?

This is one of the rarest moments in the universe... Rarer than rocking horse poop, and rarer still than a black rainbow. I can tell you now, that when I was talking to him about it, he offered and I nearly collapsed in a faint from my chair! 
HELLBONE wanted to be the star of one of my blog posts, ALONE!!! He actually volunteered! Like without any prompting! He saw the props, told me what the pose should be set up like and then posed in it, before I could even say anything... 
NOT that I am complaining of course, it's just WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED LOL... Maybe it was the props that I had to play with that made him want to?! 

He is a bonafied Horror Movie freak! One of his RL prized possessions is a genuine mask from the original Friday the 13th movies, and I guess he was a little excited to see items that were inspired by the Japanese Horror, The Ring! I don't mind admitting that this isn't one of the horror films I've ever seen. The thought of something crawling out of the tv is just UGHHHHHH, so I was kinda glad Hell took the lead! 
He pulled himself up a chair, to relax after all the hard work he has done in creating the new Gator Sim - yes the MC family now has one! - although he never takes off his boots or gloves! Imagine the smell if that was RL LOL... 
If we were to take the armchair he's lounging in out of the picture though, the rest of these items are Horror Haute releases from Botanica Diabolique. There are three of them, but I have been a little naughty and you will need to look closely for the third one... 
The Sadako TV slowly fades in an out of static, when the picture becomes clear you see the wood where Samara´s well can be seen. I was naughty here, the Samara At The Well that you see on the screen, is another item from Botanica Diabolique. It is not visible on the screen but a stand alone prop that I naughtily photoshopped together like that!!! 
I also wanted to use, because I really liked them, the Okiku's Plates. The story of these plates is one of Japanese folklore... A wealthy samurai wanted his pretty servant to be his lover and though she refused he tried to trick her by suggesting that she'd broken one of the families plates. After another refusal, he threw her down a well, and after her death she returned as a vengeful spirit... Counting to nine and shrieking, either in representation of the broken plate or in agony at not finding a tenth! Such a beautifully sad story and a lovely decorative item... How could I say no to using them?! 
Hopefully this won't be the last we see of HellBone, though maybe Samara is coming through the TV to get him?! Failing that maybe I will get him to pose more LOL... I don't really know which is worse for him! 

What is he wearing:
Skin: najl desings - ZENDO (No Longer Available!)
PJs: Pixicat - Whimsical Onesie in Skeleton (Past The Arcade Release) 
Gloves: ISPACHI - Upheaval Gloves in Relaxed 
Boots: Gos - Triumph Boots in Black

Beware of the Toilets in Japan!

Before I ramble off in my crazy mixed up story today, I want to point out that I mean NO OFFENCE to anyone Japanese! I have never been there and I'm hoping that the stories used by the designers, which I will be basing my ramble from, are just myths!!! Least I hope so anyway!! 
Today I am getting a little creative, least that's what my mind is suggesting I am doing, others might disagree LOL... 
This little series of photos will suggest to you WHY it's not a good idea to use the toilet in Japan! After this, if I ever visit I WILL be taking my own toilet paper with me LOL... Thank you Horror Haute for providing a little insight into that... 

"Blood on a wall in a toilet means you should leave..." Technically this goes for ANYWHERE in the world not just in Japan... Although I don't know if the Myth would be applicable anywhere in the world! Luckily, Brick-A-Brack's owner, and designer of the Aka Manto toilet, Dena Farspire, has provided a little background to her reasoning for making a toilet in a Japanese Horror theme! 
"Aka Manto approaches people in bathroom stalls (usually the outdoor variety) and asks them a simple, if perplexing question: "Would you like red paper or blue paper?" If you say red, your flesh is sliced into ribbons until you're effectively red. If you choose blue, you're strangled to death. If you pick any other colour, you're dragged to hell." - Taken from her notecard, thanks Dena. 
SO, point to be made here, if you're going to the toilet in Japan, and someone asks you about loo roll... What do you say? Either "Thanks but No thanks, I brought my own" or "Who cares about wiping my butt I am outta here!"

Unless you want to end up like this?! 

While we are discussing these photos by the way, let me just point out one other very important thing, which would be my outfit. The dress I am wearing - should that be kimono or something else I'm never sure so I will stick with dress lol - is from Tasty Pudding. It includes bloody and clean versions, and due to the two pictures I'm wearing both - but the second one has been pulled up around my butt because well no one wants to pee on their dress?!

Now, the Aka Manto is supposedly the one that is going to either cut you to ribbons or strangle you for your choice in toilet roll... I never saw what the myth looked like, but I did notice two very shifty looking characters wandering around, baring very similar knives to the ones in my dead girl back! 

It feels like the carnival is in town... First the murder in the toilet and now these two - potential - candidates to the culprit have been spotted. 
I will tell you now, I know for a fact that the looks they are wearing come from this month's round of Horror Haute, but don't look too long, those evil eyes might spot you... I hear whispers about them being Rokurokubi... 
As with the toilet, this look's designer - Naenia Demina of ImmateriA - included a notecard with the story behind this myth... "The Long Neck Woman, or “Rokurokubi”, is a Japanese urban legend about female creatures that look and act like normal humans. But at night their necks grow longer and longer, freeing their heads to move around almost independently from their bodies. Most Rokurokubi are young, attractive women, and they take pleasure in scaring regular humans. Some Long Neck Rokurokubi actually prefer to live their lives pretending to be a human. Although they may appear to be completely normal people, every night, their necks grow and grow, getting longer and longer, stretching out through windows in search of human prey." Just look for stretch marks in the neck area!!! Everything you see in this look, besides the knives, red hair - which is a brand new release from Truth by the way - and the rings are included in this HUGE offering from ImmateriA!!! 
After all that though, the most important things to remember when visiting Japan... Take you're own loo roll to the toilet when you go and check any women you meet for stretch marks on their necks LOL

What a way to end the year... Zombie Prom Queen!

Sometimes the things I put on put me in a creative mood, I'm often saying so, but it's not normally the props that I use which create the ideas in my head. Normally I have a look and wonder how in the heck I will photograph it, but this time I had a pose all lined up and nothing to wear... 
That's where Horror Haute came into play... As I said before, the theme of Horror Haute - which has been extended this month due to the Holiday Season until January 4th - is Zombie Apocalyptic Christmas... Now one store in particular really caught my attention... As a Living Dead Dolly a lot of the time, I always love playing dress up whilst being my dead self... This time I got to play a Zombie Prom Queen... YAY!!! 

Let's start with the prop that caused me the problems though shall we... This prop is available in a gacha machine from Image Essentials, and although you can grab it now at the Depraved Nation FROST Event, I believe that comes down pretty soon! These snow globes - or should that be Handy Globes - tell it like it is, this one bearing the statement "Santa Got Me This" but the variety of Christmas messages will be useful year after year! 
The outfit that I played dress up in however, is a Horror Haute release from the store Livid. The Zombie Prom Queen outfit comes with not just a dress and sash, but also a tiara and corsage, perfect for any prom queen. The blood is just a minor mishap that's all! I teased my hair into some adorable curls from Magika, and the look was set, all I had to do was get rid of all of the competition and I was crowned Prom Queen... 
A perfect way to end the year!!! Happy New Year Everyone!
