Would you like an Apple?

OH MY GOSH I AM SLACKING... Rudhmellowen Laguna, you are so forgetful and useless sometimes, really you are! I cannot believe that I almost forgot to tell you about something so amazingly cool, one of my favourite SL events of the year... Dammit for having such a crazy, drama filled SL at the moment!! OH WELL, I am not too late, let me explain...
One of my favourite event teams is back again with a new Survival Horror Game. The Pulse Games team previously brought us The Flesh Game, Resting Place, System Failure, and Don't Panic - yes I wrote about a few of them and hasn't my blogging style changed, boy how much I've improved in 5 years! - and this year's event Carver's End remains open until November 21st. If you haven't been before - or have never heard of the Pulse Games events - now is the time to find out what the fuss is about!
First though, would you like an apple?

"Surrounded by lush apple orchards and nestled in a peaceful valley, the sleepy little Hamlet of Carver's End is the perfect place for taking the family Trick or Treating...but all is not as it seems in this idylic New England village. Evil lurks behind the locked doors and vacant local businesses that once bustled with small town life."

- Taken from the Pulse Games Event Information Note Card.

If you like nice juicy red apples then this would be a great place for you to visit... Apple Bobbing is a must at the Halloween period, I was always rubbish at it, preferring to eat an apple rather than drown myself for one LOL, but this sleepy little town has apples to spare. So if you want one, head on over to try one!
Don't miss out on the trick-or-treating at Carver's End... Would you like an Apple?

My favourite SL Flowers...

I LOVE Flowers... LOVE LOVE LOVE them... I admit I'm never going to be the first to wear a dress with flower appliques - though floral print I might do - and you can forget it if you think shoving me a bunch of flat looking flowers will win you any favours, but within the SL world at least there is ONE store whose flowers are always going to be flowers I get excited by.
I LOVE LODE FLOWERS! I am willing to shout it from the rooftops because they are gorgeous and worthy of such praise.

The Matys Flowers - this one being the White Version - are available from LODE at The Chapter Four this month.
The rest of the look was kept simple so that nothing would distract from these gorgeous oversized flowers. Shhhhh I am naked, for everything but accessories, which included the gorgeous Eco Necklace and Lena Ring both from Kibitz as well as the pretty and somewhat understated yumyums circlet for a Queen...
Not that I am trying to play any of the rest of the accessories down, I LOVE them too but should I mention again, did you see these flowers from LODE... I LOVE THEM lol...

Where does she go when she needs a break?

Everyone needs somewhere peaceful to go on their down time, their place of rest and shelter, a haven if you will... Now recently I was inspired by a dress that I'd been sent from one of the oh-so-gracious and willing to put up with my random mind store designers that I work for, and she had in this dress included a style she called Wondergirl... Thus I got thinking, where would Wonder Woman go to relax. 
If I was here I'd take my breaks dancing in the stars... Wait Wonder Woman can fly right?! 

The dress that inspired this look was one created by the awesome Iokko Molko of yumyums... These Tea Time Dresses come in a myriad of colours and patterns - all of which fit perfectly into the cuteness that is yumyums - and are yours to grab if you are going shopping at this years Fashion Fair! I wanted to use those magical powers of Wonder Woman style flight whilst wearing the adorable Wonder Girl patterned dress.
I managed to find some awesome super accessories in my wardrobe hoard that would make the outfit look even more superhero-esque...
I had the perfect boots! At the last round of The Arcade, katat0nik created the Toy Boots, these also came in a Wonder Woman style design known as "Super"... For just a little more of that superhero flair I added a dash of glittery lipstick - or should that be Celestial Lipstick - from Nylon Outfitters, and a Bead Shaker necklace in a pretty aqua colour from (Yummy), both of which are available at this month's Uber line-up. Then to dance, under the stars, and keep my balance I suppose, I found this adorable - past freebie - from Weather! Or Not?, which is back in-world again by the way YAY!!
It proved to be the prefect thing to help me balance on these slippery looking Celestial Glass Stones, also available at Uber, from the store Half-Deer. They looked more than a little slippery, not that it's a problem if she can fly...

Japanese Horror this way comes...

There's something coming... Drawing closer and closer as each minute passes... The wicked laughter taunting and making the hairs of their next victims stand on end, as the sounds of heavy objects are thrown around a locked room in the sky...
One of SL's darkest events is on it's way in... Horror Haute will be rolling out the red carpet very soon, welcoming you to come and sample some of it's wares, luring you into the dark with it's promise of pretties... You wouldn't be the first to succumb to it's macabre nature, and no doubt you wíll be the last... You have been warned, something horrific this way comes, and this time it's oriental as we enter the land of the rising sun!

OK OK I know sometimes I can be a tad over dramatic, but what the heck, if I cannot do that here then where can I?!
However, what was said in the ramble above is correct... Horror Haute January is on it's way in, and this time it will be Japanese Horror themed! I've already sampled some of the sights, trust me you're in for a fright, but I always find myself overly excited and desperate to dive into the Horror Haute goodie box each month. This time, maybe doubly so, and it's mostly the fault of a band that I seem to have become addicted to! If you haven't heard of BabyMetal - you will get to see them at the end of this ramble lol - then you should. I get the feeling they are like Marmite, you either love them or hate them, and I'm definitely on the addicted side. It's J-Pop meets Metal, and though you may think I am bonkers it ALWAYS gets me dancing...
Anyway, I was inspired by the adorable lolita goth and kawaii style of the girls in the band, so my Horror Haute Teaser is something in a combination of the two genres lol... It actually sums my two halves up pretty well LOL...
For Horror Haute this month you can get your hands on this gorgeous [Stargazer Creations] Yurei Skin - thank goodness she's taken a break from torturing me with rainbow colours lol - and although the options available included all different make-up styles I HAD to wear the one with the gaping mouth hehe... It went too well with the scars that permanently adorn my face!
The Kawaii elements just seemed to happen as if by luck lol... I'd been to the latest round of The Kawaii Project and spotted these adorable dresses from katat0nik. I instantly wanted the Rare versions which is covered with apples and skulls - aptly named poison apple - and normally I don't hold my breath as I never have the luck to win Rares, but this one fell into my lap first try YAY!!! Then I remembered the adorable little Apple Bag that was a special gift from katat0nik at The Arcade this Christmas... I HAD TO USE IT TOGETHER... It wasn't until after this photo was taken that I spotted katat0nik Pidgeon herself had done the same thing *facepalms*, so this one is in homage to her LOL...
Lastly, and as a finishing touch, this secretive monster girl reached for her Kitsune Mask - Japanese Fox Mask - from Zyn. I'd not heard of this store before, but since looking there is a few things that I will definitely be spending my lindens on hehe...
One last thing to finish us off today, and get you in the dancing mood for the weekend... A little bit of BabyMetal... Introducing BabyMetal and their song, Megitsune, which seems to mean Vixen?!

What is she wearing;
Hair: Magika - You
Skin: [Stargazer Creations] - Yurei Skin in M01 (Coming soon for Horror Haute January)

Even the Blind can See! A Horrorfestive Production!

So many awesome things are available at the 2014 Horrorfestive you will have to go in to see and believe it hehe... As I've said before this event is raising money for the awesome Munchflower Zaius. For those of you who have NO IDEA who she is let me give you a bit of an idea!
Munchflower Zaius is the mind behind Nomine. For a very long time, she has been an inspiration, guru and assistant to people in SL's large dark, gothic and macabre community who are seeking to make their own SL a happier and prettier place. Many people will be able to say they have at least heard of Nomine, even if they have no idea who Munchflower herself is, and although I have never really had any personal dealings with the lady in question everything I've heard about her is good. The support she has in this time of need, during which she has been forced to give up her source of income - yes, Nomine has closed! - goes to show just how loved she and her store are!
Anyway, if you want to read more from the lady herself, check out her "Gofundme" page, and then go buy some gorgeous pretties from the Horrorfestive event... YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO hehe!!

Let me share with you just a few more of the pretties... I KNOW there is a lot more to come from the event but as much as I want to I cannot do them all at once LOL...
This time I got a little creative, and released the seer that I have within thus suggesting that even the blind can see... I don't want anyone to feel offended by this statement by the way, I mean no offence. I had a blind great aunt who always used to tell me "just because I cannot see doesn't mean I cannot see what you're doing young lady". Her other senses were so heightened she always knew when I was up to something, even more so than the family around with sight! It used to scare me as I was little, I thought she was magic hehe...
I guess that magical feeling has kind of been reflected here. This look all started with the set of Crown, Blindfold and Flowers called Frills, in a Fever colour, from Devae. There were SO MANY colour combinations to choose from but when I pulled these on with the hair I chose to wear from Clawtooth, that was it... I was destined to be a pinkish Seer hehe... Then, in combination with that, I remembered this amazing tiara that has been released from ImmateriA for the December Witching Hour. It may look familiar, but they have been updated and made even prettier for the new round!! The full body tattoo is subtle in everything but the face, the face seemed to work perfectly with the mystical feeling that I was trying to portray, but this Ama Alive Inside Tattoo could be used in so many different ways! I then kept the rest of the outfit simple in the form of this super cute Satin Jumpsuit from PixyStix, and some very cute and rather useful present opening claw rings from HopScotch!
Just one more thing was missing to make the look complete... MORE EYES! Bliensen + MaiTai have created some AMAZING Eye Ornaments, and they are SO unbelieveably gorgeous that I think in the very near future I will have to put up a Christmas Tree in SL just to show them off! Me being me, and therefore more than a little bit weird, I decided to add them to my outfit, and so now this Seer has four eyes, not just two hehe!
Wow sometimes I don't half talk a lot lol, just one more thing that I should mention though... Look behind me, I know I am a little distracting but that grave stone in the background, not only is it gorgeous, it's also animated with bats AND available for Horrorfestive from Alchemist! Gorgeous and Charitable what more can you ask for!
