Love on the Pastel Promenade

It's the month of hearts, romance and valentines... Pretty, sweet, romantic things that make the heart flutter and those that love love, sparkle... I felt a need to do something pretty and pink and romantic and sparkly, it's not my favourite of the holidays and so I'm doing my best, even though I'm very much the Anti-Valentine right now... It's time for some hearts, romance and sparkly things... 

I wanted to create my own personal little cupid... One that looks sweet and innocent, a cute little replacement for the diapered baby, with someone a little more sweet and devious... A pretty little feathered angel, that's pale skinned and glittering hearts and dripping in pink... It's the perfect outfit to take a walk down the Pastel Promenade in the city of Love...

The Meeting of the Season Changers!

August 1st always feels like start of Summer, even though Summer has officially been happening for a few weeks, and we're actually starting to gear down towards Autumn...
There is soon to be a mingling of the fae from different worlds... The Summer Fae with her gorgeous floral colours will meet the darker Autumn Fae, who are coming to kill off the greenery and welcome to Wintery flakes of snow... They are gathering slowly, meeting on edge of the dark forest on the Swamp Path... 

It is the Midnight Order, that has brought these two fae together on the Swamp Bridge - a release from Violetility - but the Dandelion Fairy is the one hosting the welcoming committee... Sharing her Dandelion Blooms with the Autumnal Goblinesque - thanks to the LOGO Cinder Goblin Head, available now at Midnight Order - and teaching her new friend how to create dandy magic... 
For now though, let's just hope that these two can share the spotlight before the Autumn ends the Summer and the colours fade from green to red...

Meeting Mr. Andel

I've been a very good girl for a while now, and I think it's time I let my hair down - which I am doing literally - and introduce you to a new friend of mine... Everyone, meet Otis Andel... He's a special man that came into my SL fairly recently, but before you get the wrong idea there is more to this than meets the eye! All will be revealed in a moment, but until then, please enjoy looking at him as he enjoys his very up close and personal introduction to me LOL... 

Now for an explanation before people start getting confused and contact HellBone about me having a new lover LOL... As I said before this is Otis, and he's the silent, do-as-he's-told type, and there is a damn good reason for this! Otis is in fact the modelling, man doll of my MC sister and dear friend Lilian, who has graciously said that if I ever needed a male model I could use and abuse him. He's a WIP - someone we can play around with and make fit what we need - and he's actually been fairly needed because I always have trouble blogging some of the amazing couple poses I'm sent. Hell doesn't mind posing, so long as it's not sexual, and WELL, this is more than a little sexual right?! 
The pose that I decided had to be the first to introduce him in is one from Come Soon, called "Gotcha" that is available at the soon to end round of Lost & Found - you have until tomorrow to get it from the event I believe. 
Anyway, what do you think? What do you think of her man dolly? I'm sure that this won't be the last time you ever see Mr Andel, though maybe next time he will be someone totally different!!!

Insane and needing Glass

Is it just me or is Christmas Shopping a NIGHTMARE?! YES I know it's not even December, but as I have said before in Holland there is a Dutch Tradition called "Sinterklaas" which means that basically there are two similar Christmassy Holidays here - on on December 5th and the other December 25th. Normally I think less about Sinterklaas and focus on Christmas, but this year I will not be able to go to England and so my parents have decided to come over for Sinterklaas!!! So that means I now have to find more presents and therefore fight the shopping crowds earlier! 
I tried to be smart and do some of my shopping online but sometimes it doesn't work out that way... Today HellBone and I braved the RL shopping crowds, oh my gosh it's like a fight out there... Everyone hustling to get stuff... It's a wonder that people don't actually start fighting! There seems to be only one word that describes it... 

Insane! I cannot believe the level of stress that shopping for one event a year seems to create LOL! Trust me for those of you that do not have Sinterklaas, if you thought shopping for one Christmas-style Holiday was bad, try having TWO in the same month LOL... 
If my Kibitz Collar doesn't summon it up then maybe the fact that I have gone more than my average level of crazy and shoved shards of glass in my chest - courtesy of SongBird by the way - while allowing the blood to splatter my glasses will make you believe me!
Still once all that was done, and we had a lot of shopping to do for the Sinterklaas festivities - since HellBone was buying tons of gifts for people that he works with in BACA - I find myself thinking I need more glass LOL - I have so much gift wrapping to do!!

Mr & Mrs LOGO Head!

It's taken me a very long time to get to this point, but I  made the decision and took the plunge. It took me HOURS of discussions with myself - my poor head was spinning - and even Hell was done before I was... I tried on many different types, found one I kinda liked and kept trying it on until I loved it... After that there was just one thing holding me back, but thanks to the kindness of a stranger, I was able to stop myself holding back and free fall... 
The funny thing though is that all the time we've been together, Hell and I have always said we'd never be matchy-matchy, in the same way that some twee couples can be... Not that that's a bad thing but I am one of those people that needs to look like an individual and matching my hubby just makes me feel a bit cheesy... Until Now at least... HellBone and I are now Mr & Mrs LOGO Head LOL... 

Before I elaborate on things though, this has to be one of my all time favourite photos of HellBone and I. It shows that sometimes he can be my strength and support, sometimes he can carry me and the vast majority of the time I feel safe too... All these things are shown in this picture, and he made me smile when I asked him to make me a list of what he was wearing and he said "You". 
Now to the head thing... I'd been considering the Mesh Head idea for a while, and had tried on all of the ones I could get my hands on demos for, but somehow none of them seemed right. I wasn't willing to settle for one that I didn't feel comfortable in, but then I stumbled upon the LOGO Chloe head and my mind was made up. I found the head I wanted, the appliers for a Glam Affair Skin that I wanted and then hit another stumbling block... My Scar!!
I wasn't ready to give up my scar - I'm still not - but after summing up some courage I contacted antielle's owner Kaorinette to see if there was any possibility that my favourite non-applier scar could be put into an OMEGA applier... DID YOU KNOW THAT ANTIELLE CLOSED?! I was so sad to find that out - although I know that CURELESS is her new store! She was so gracious, so friendly and so happy to hear that I'd made one of her designs part of my everyday SL that she was willing to lend me a hand - thank you so much Kaorinette, it means so much to me! 

What do you think of my before and after mugshots?! It's going to take me a little bit of getting used to even though things are proportionally the same - or pretty similar at least - but I really like it... Expect to see me pulling all kinds of weird and wonderful faces in the near future hehe... Now that I can smile without it looking evil, I'm going to be doing a whole lot more of that!!!
