Grease Paint and Blood Stains

The thing about blogging is not only do you get some amazing creations to showcase but you meet the best people. Recently I became friends with the fabulous Rudhmellowen Laguna, and even though we have blogged in the same circles for years (and I do mean years) we have never really spoke. OMG why did we wait so long? This gal is awesome and in a competitive world of sl bloggng, she is so full of encouragement and kindness it's absolutely impossible not to love her.

And have you seen her blog? Rudh's Random Ramblings is so much fun, and filled with so much info you are going to love it. Giver a follow on the blog (linked above) and on flickr. You will be glad you did!

There are still a few more days of our favorite season so you still have time to get spooky! This look started by chance, you see Rudh and I keep bumping into each other at events and while chatting at Cynful for the Sat Sale deals I almost bought the wrong color sweater which evolved into some joking about sweater and undie wearing killer clowns.  So there you have it our own version of creepy clowns.  Be sure to check Rudh's blog for her pic and info. 

Lots of cuteness here, love these bright socks and pumps from Secret Oktober, they really are fun and great colors too. You can grab them at Trick or Treat Lane and while you are there pick up the awesome Butcher knife from Zombie Suicide. Not only is it fabulous, it's also free during the event.

If you haven't already picked up the chemical appliers from Clemmm X - [TWC] at Ironwood Hills you really want to do that. I already know I will be getting lots of use out of them.  The friends pose we used is from Extra and also available at Ironwood Hills along with a few others.

All pics were taken at the Gators MC. Be sure to stop by and check out their Halloween event: World Wide Halloween 2018

See what's on the slab...

Oh No! 

What have I done?  

This was the Dr's favorite pet, Riff Ratt. This wasn't a test rat. Oh no, the Dr. is going to kill me!  What am I going to do? He gets so angry, it's like he's not even the same person. What am I going to do?

Wait, maybe I can fix this. We have the tools. I'll just put him here on the slab....darn, he's so small. 

Oh no, this isn't going to work. The Dr. isn't going to take this well.

RIP Riff Ratt, I'm sorry, I hope I don't see you soon.

Transfixes you to your fear

                                           Lyrics from Voodoo Dolly by Siouxsie and the Banshees

It's that time of year. Time to be one of the things that go bump in the night. Time to creep around among the ghouls and their friends... but you want to do it in style, right? You want to look super hot and still be able to run when things get way too creepy. That's where these amazing boots from MODA have you covered. They will totally get the job done! Of course I went with all black, but since they are MODA they have a massive customization HUD so you get lots of options. And if you prefer thigh highs, check the mainstore for the taller version (pic at the end of this blog.)  

I love these stockings from 1313 Mockingbird Lane which are currently available at Trick or Treat Lane. The hud lets you mix and match colors in so many ways. Totally perfect for all your Halloween looks. I know I will be using these again they are just fun.  

Speaking of fun, I frickin love this little voodoo dolly from La Baguette that I purchased on a whim. I really am not one for dolls at all, but I mean you get to poke this one with needles.  Poke -  poke - poke.  Ok I am easily amused, but seriously it's cute as hell!

Oh how I love these earrings from Astara that you can find at Trick or Treat Lane, along with the matching Bindi I wore in my last post (Meet the Ravens. Part Deux.) Seriously they are big and bold and just striking. You can color them up in all kinds of ways with their HUD. They have now joined the ranks of my fave earrings, I love them that much.   

A ghoulish girl must have a perfect manicure at all times. That's just a fact of the afterlife. By now you know that Dark Passions always has amazing new designs from cute to sexy, there is always something perfect for the season. The Wicked & Bound set is sexy as hell and looks fabulous on all the nail shapes / lengths. Have you ever noticed on the Koffin Nails ads that the designer so kindly notes which nail lengths the polish set is best for? So helpful!

Happy Haunting!

Meet the Ravens. Part Deux.

One big creepy happy family!
One day while taking an evening stroll at Ironwood Hills we found the sweetest young man just wandering around with his batty sister in his arms. He asked us if we could help him hunt for his family, as they seemed to have left them there. So after an evening of searching and speaking to the local residents we had grown so attached to the youngins we just had to take them in. They are such an utter delight. For the most part Zorphan is content to play quietly play with his toys while his sweet lil sister just wants to be cuddled and nuzzle your neck. I mean she really likes to just nuzzle whoever is holding her, it's truly precious.
So yes Mr. Raven and I have officially adopted and we are one big happy family now.  

With the Haunting event still in fully force at Ironwood Hills I was able to do a little shopping while we searched for the kiddos missing parents. I found the Bloodshed Bento gloves from Wicca's Wardrobe to be a perfect accessory for my Maven dress from ISON. I also knew that with two kids joining our home we were likely to need a hand in caring for them now and then, so I picked up a couple from CLAVv. Zorphan just loves shiny and bloody things so he had to have the FML knife from Hotdog, but I did say no way to the pet rodent after he cut it in half. I was afraid an undead rat would give his sister nightmares as she just seemed agitated when he let the blood drop on her. Now you know I can't pass up a new coffin, especially the lost souls one from Crate that comes with it's own ravens. 

Dark Passions Events - Trick or Treat lane is now open! Be sure to stop in and look for all the awesome treats left out by the designers, like this bindi from Astara. It even includes a color HUD! Astara also has matching earrings for sale at Trick or Treat Lane. I will have more about this event in a few days so keep watch here or check their website for all the event details and shopping guide.

I also owe another huge thank you to Asbjorn Raven for taking these pictures. It's always wonderful to collaborate on a project together. You can see more of his images on Flickr. 
Asbjorn is also the owner of The Raven's Nest Cafe & Gallery. Keep tabs on the scheduled events and exhibitions at the gallery on facebook  or even better join the inworld group when you visit. Maybe you would like to participate in an exhibition, we'd love to see your work!

  Meet The Ravens.   

Here's a lil peek into our unwedding. The thing about special occasions is they need special dresses and this amazing design from Ison was perfect for this. Honestly, I knew the moment I tried the demo on, that it would be my unwedding dress. It drapes wonderfully and shows just enough skin to be absolutely delicious.  
You can see the Ison vendor pic here: Mia by Ison on Flickr.  

How perfect is the Nevermore tattoo by Karved for the new bride of a Raven? You can find it on marketplace. It comes with two tones of Omega appliers and guys, it's unisex!  So you and your sweetie can match!  

I have to say that I am the happiest I have ever been in my 10 years in SL. By some wonderful chance of fate, I have met the kindest, most amazing man. Asbjorn Raven says I am his muse, but in truth he inspires me everyday. His creativity, his heart, and his compassion fill me with hope for many, many amazing moments together, sharing our lives and our dreams. He brings to me a sense of peace and happiness that I find myself smiling about every day. His darkness matches mine, in a way that just fits. 
He is my Viking, my Raven, my Love.  

Most of the pics on this post are indeed Mr. Raven's. You can see his work here on Flickr. Be sure to check out his gallery, The Raven's Nest Cafe & Gallery in world. Feel free to explore the garden, make use of the photo studio and back drops (teleports located by the back door of the gallery) or just enjoy the current exhibition while lounging in the cafe. All are welcome at any time! Keep tabs on the scheduled events at The Raven's Nest on the gallery facebook page. We look forward to seeing you there!

Presents

"Haunting"

October 1-31, 2018

Ironwood Hills newest game is amazing! 
It's a creepfest of fun and prizes. The game is free, and ran by a HUD you pick up at the entrance. Follow the clues, meet the people, hear the story and unlock each step on your HUD so you can claim the prizes at the end.  
 Prizes?  Yes, prizes! Oh so many! 39 prizes from some of the gods of SL creep. If those prizes aren't enough this is actually a shopping event also. You can stop in and shop the booths without doing the game. Great spots for pics too, but you knew that already because it's Ironwood Hills. 

First and last pics in this set are by Asbjorn Raven. For more shots of our adventure visit his Flickr.

We had so much fun going through the Haunting game, it really was fabulous, but let's talk event designers.   

Join the scream team with this bloody cheerleader set from 1313 Mockingbird Lane. This would make a great Halloween costume for all those parties ya got coming in the next few weeks. There are a few colors to choose from each with a different "school" name. 

    As I was styling this look, the collaboration pieces from Clemmm and The White Crow were delivered.  OMG this body make up is great, really great. Even on my pale skin. Same with the eyes. I can tell you I will be using these items long after Halloween ends.   

YAY for creepy things, right?
Speaking of creepy things, what girl doesn't dream of a big old peeper around their neck? The Bulb necklace from Cubic Cherry is a bit of campy fun. And with the color HUD you can make sure your eye always looks good on your dress.  

As always your links are below.
Happy Haunting!
