Stay the f*ck home

Hello again my gothlings. No doubt by now you will all be well aware of the current Coronavirus global pandemic. It is truly a frightening time to be alive. As a keyworker, I am still currently in work, however my daughter has a chest infection, so we are self isolating, just n case. Pretty sure it is nothing, because we get them all the time being asthmatic and all. I've read loads of negative comments online about blogging this situation. But, as they safe, art imitates life, or the other way around! Anyways, I'm glad that in SL at least, I can find toilet paper and face masks! And without having to queue for miles to get in the store! So here's my lil post. And please, unless it is absolutely essential, stay the f*ck at home and help protect all of us from this nasty virus!

I had to slightly update this post as a dear friend of mine made these gorgeous 
prints inspired by the find the rainbow movement that is currently taking the UK by storm. People everywhere are filling their windows with pictures of rainbows to try and bring a smile to everyone during these difficult times, both to keyworker's keeping the country safe and also to give children something to look for on their permitted outings for daily exercise with their families. These pictures were actually hand-drawn by the creators' RL daughter and brought into SL, and are available for free on Marketplace. #findtherainbow #savelives #protecttheNHS

Happy Halloween!!

So its been a manic few days here in RL, I'm back working nights and in between work, sleep and trying to get organised for Halloween, I haven't had a minute!!! I am currently writing this in-between feeding the cat, eating my tea, shortly before picking my daughter up from her cheer session, dropping her off at her friends' party, and heading off to work again!!! Anyway, this blog was inspired by one of the new releases from Blue Blood, the Sacred dress. It is available in a multitude of various colours, but as it is Halloween, I have chosen to show you the Halloween version, which I think is absolutely gorgeous!! Note: This version is ONLY available at the Creepy Cute Carnival, and will not be available after the event is over!

 I also want to draw your attention to the hair I'm wearing - its from Alice Project, who are currently having their annual Halloween massacre sale/ reward event. Everyday, the lovely Alice Demonia places out a new gift hair for VIP group members, and an additional gift hair for everyone. And don't worry if you miss it- the group gifts will always be available for free, while the other gifts will remain the low price of L$50!

All pictures taken at Pumpkin Town, where there is an amazing Halloween fair on, with plenty of bargains/ gifties to be had!

The Show Must Go On!

So, sometimes I go mad taking blog photos, because I love an outfit so much, and just have so much FUN playing around with poses that I snap and snap and snap, and then I realise that I have a TON of photos to go through and chose, what I think, show the outfit off the best. This is what happened today when I tried on a recent release by adoness, which was out for District 5 and should now be available in store. This amazing dress, brought to my mind images of performers (obviously), and I wanted somewhere my doll could perform. In the end, I found this cute lil area within AZ Doll Creations shop, that worked perfectly. Instead of performing, she was getting ready to go on stage... checking her hair and outfit in the mirror, making sure everything was perfect.

Satisifed, she did a lil twirl in front of the mirror, but her knees caught in the brutal wiring of her skirt, causing them to bleed!

However, she realised, the show must go on no matter what! So, she quickly practised a few pieces of her routine while she still had time.

She didn't have time for nerves, because before she knew it... it was time to head out onto the stage! She adjusted her skirts and lifted her head up high, determined to put on a show that would never be forgt, despite her clumsiness! there was NO way she was gonna let her under-study take this night from her. Her knees were cut, that was all, she could still dance!

And, for your benefit, here is a close-up image of her nails, and other accessories.

~body~
skin: la petite morte ~ india ~ t1 ~ the raven (currently available at The Secret Affair),
eyes: pmd ~ vibrant eyes ~ red,

Here's just one example of the genius that is Ghost Mannequin. Last week, SMOTD was involved in WW, and this is what was on offer (apologies for the lateness of this post, I have had a multitude of zombies running through my thoughts this week and I have sadly been unable to focus on any one thing til now).

Millies' 52 Weeks of Randomness.

Week 2:

She was on the wrong side of town, but that was just the way she liked it. Ever since they had beaten and mutilated her and left her for dead, this had become her nightly ritual. For the 6 who beat her did not know that something other than Death had found her that night, and turned her into this monster, not alive, but not dead, unable to walk in the sun, and with a thirst for blood.

This stunning dress I am wearing has been in my inv for a long time just waiting for an excuse for me to show it to you. It had sat there waiting for me to get some inspiration for a photo, and when I won this gorgeous headpiece form the lucky board at Violent Seduction yesterday, I just KNEW they would look perfect together!

InFo:

Skin: Al Vulo ~ Julia/ Dating on the Dark (old group gift),
Make-up: Mango, Mango ~ Rock Liner (sorry no longer available, store closed/ rebranded),
