... or you just glad to see me? Yeah, I know, it's a terrible joke :P

ANYWAY, part three of Luna's color challenge - here is MY goldenrod:

Poses by Imperial Elegance

This week I decided to bend the rules a bit and chose to use the color of the actual goldenrod flowers, rather than the color of the swatch Luna posted.

Sometimes simplicity is best. And it doesn't get more simple than a bodysuit. Also, I don't give myself enough excuses to wear something this shiny. And I don't care that my sentences are incomplete and start with conjunctions. Suck it, grammar nazis.

I had just decided to do Luna Jubilee's 52 weeks of color blog challenge, when my friend Isabeal released some really lovely wintery dresses. And low and behold, one of them was grey! (well, *silver*, but I think it'll count) ... So, of course, I felt it was meant to be. And anyway, it gives me a chance to show off some other things I've been hording. :P

What follows are far too many pictures of me having too much fun in this beautiful dress. I do so love a good grey. :)

Another Deal coming your way!

I was looking for scissors for something inworld and I came across these wicked wings. What every hair designer should have in their inventory. You can cut hair on the fly. Harf harf harf!

Sadly the store is no longer inworld, but it did get set up on XStreet!


Scissor Wings

These Babies are totally free for your enjoyment. You'll also find works inspired by various games, movies and comics by the same designer, so check them out, high quality, can't go wrong.

Grab them at the Lithium Works Store on Xstreet HERE!

Save a life, wear a mushroom.


I have a few random friends, that people wonder how I meet.

They tend to be very talented, in a variety of ways.

They are the kind that don't mind if you don't hear from each other in months.

They always have something to show me, have me read, or let me listen to.

Carn Fall is one of these select few. Energetic, enthusiastic, and talented in his own right.

Now as a hair deisgner, there are very few times you wont see me in my own hair. But this items doesn't have need for hair, it's all you really need on you head. Carn made 4 Super Mario inspired mushroom hats(and maybe a few more on the way). When asked what colour I wanted it was a no brainer. GREEN!

Carn will have these in his shop(soon to be opened) and on Xstreet for sure. Till then I get to tease you all.

***Update---> Carn now has these both inworld at The ModShop and on Xstreet(link in credits)***

XP


Yes yes, that is a bit of flashy colour there on my knee. I sort of got reckless, counting on the fact I got my nice One Up. Doesn't prevent injury from stupidity.


You know how many shades of green shoes I have in inventory? Cookie for the right guess!

Skin- {Frick} - Noir Smudged in Goth
Hat-The ModShop- 1+ Hat(to be released)

***Special Thanks to the person that helped me with the Mario-like background!***

Under the veil of darkness, a Circus of the damned rolled into town. Rumours quickly spread of Vampires, as many of the town folk began to vanish. No laughter is ever heard coming from this big tent, only the screams of those unfortunate enough to enter alone.

So come on in. Take a seat...if you dare!

Believing vampires are nothing more than fiction and being a rather inquisitive individual, you decide to take a closer look and step into the dimly lit tent. It was cold and empty. The smell of blood fills the damp night air. You suddenly feel a presence, and as if out of nowhere, a clown had magically appeared, intrepidly balancing high above on the tight rope. Her arm swung forward, and with a slight twist of her thumb, she had splayed apart four large knives. You take a seat on an old hand carved wooden chair. Your excitement and anticipation begin to mount, as you gaze hypnotically up at the circus performer. To your amazement, she holds the very sharp blade ends of the knives and begins to juggle. The evil fanged beauty, turns and glares straight at you with her vivid blue eyes. She herself desires to be entertained, and she has you in her sights. All of a sudden, she throws the knives in your direction. With precision, she has pinned your arms and legs tightly to the chair by your clothing. With wide eyes, you look down at the large blades that just missed your skin. You begin to panic. As you try to move, you fail to notice that the clown was no longer up on the tight rope and that she was now standing directly behind you. As you look back up at the now barren rope above, you hear a gentle whisper in your left ear "Scream for me". Cold lips press firmly against the skin on the side of your neck, then an agonisingly sharp pain as she sinks her fangs deep into your warm flesh.  She borders on ecstasy as your blood begins to flows over her tongue. You scream at the top of your lungs due to the affliction she forced upon you but you soon stop as her bite becomes extremely erotic. Within seconds, your body becomes calm and relaxed, no longer trying to fight her bite of death. Everything goes dark...

Releasing her grasp from your neck, the clown takes a step back and wipes a small drop of your blood from the corner of her mouth with the tip of her finger and places it on her tongue. "Mmmm...delicious!  Compliments to the chef". Before leaving, she leans over your wretched body and retrieves her beloved weaponry, then vanishes back to the shadows from where she came.

This pic is my entry in the Bare@Rose 5YA photo contest on flickr. I thought I should give it a story.

*Special Note~Yes it is me! I am back!*



Today I went forth and searched for a new eye god/goddess to worship. During my search and a mad list of events(which I'll tell you more about in an upcoming post), I ended up in contact with Designer Dame Hallow of ~{ Into the Hollow}~.


Her store is much like how mine was in the beginning, a mashup of this and that all made for personal purposes, or for the sake of creating, and set up to share with those who might just enjoy them too.

I picked up the above peasant top with underbust. I love Green. GREEN GREEN GREEN . . . ANYTHING. The underbust has a wonderful texture in behind a dragonfly window. Dame also sells some textures at her store, in a similar theme as the one used in this piece.


As you might have already been able to tell if you have been following this blog, I love eyes. EYES EYES EYES . . . in all colours . . . but pink. You will find these as a gift in Dame's store. The box has both dark and light versions in 2 different colours, the other not shown being a more antiqued tone.


A lil something I picked up last week. Will be trying to wear more jewelry in the near future.


On to the feet. I collect those odd colours, that I never totally know if I'll have a use for, but get anyways cause the colour is just off enough to make me feel up for the challenge. Went perfect for this look.

Wearing:

Skin- {Frick} -Sophia in Noir
Hair-The Stringer Mausoleum-Ruina V2 in Darkness
Eyes- { Into the Hollow} -This Broken Lense Eye in Silent/Dark
Eyelashes-Cybernetics-Prim Lashes L3 B1

So, Gogo over at Juicy Bomb issued a challenge: Put together a good looking avatar for less than 20L (find the challenge post here). I suspect many will be going fairly conventional and human-ish, so instead I decided to use this opportunity to show off Grendel's Children, since I love them so much. And let me tell you, they have a *pile* of awesome avatars for zero linden. Though there is a 'freebie' section, 0L items are spread all over the store, so it's worth it to let the store rez and wander around. There's a lot of really inexpensive *fantastic* stuff, too, but I decided to *just* do the no cost ones for this post.

There's Warhammer avatars ...

"Tyranid Zoanthrope"

"Techpriest"

... elemental demons ...

"Magma Succubi"

"Frost Incubi"

... realistic animals ...

"Hippo"

... and just plain silliness!

"Pkunk"

There's *TONS* more, I've just picked a few to highlight some of what can be found. The place is a treasure trove. And one of the best parts about Grendel's? Nearly every avatar piece is completely mod, so you can customize to your hearts content! As you can see, you can have an awesome avatar for absolutely nothing, even if you don't want to be 'normal'. ;)

I've taken several more pictures of free or very cheap Grendel's avatars and posted them in my flickr stream - have a look!

I was lucky enough to stumble on an eye store I hadn't heard of yet while at the fantasy fair last month.

Ibanez offers a wide selection of styles for their instore eye collection. There is bound to be something for everyone, and there are many colours to choose from for each set.

Baset in Fire

Shadow in Aurora

Instore Gift eyes in Blue

Instore Gift eyes in Brown

Instore Gift eyes in Green

Most of the sets come with prim eyes aswell, so you have the option to mix and match your eyes for a more unique personalized look.

You can purchase Eyes as singles or as a full pack.

Visit Ibanez

Other Things Worn:

Skin-Lionskins-Forbidden in makeup 6
Hair-The Stringer Mausoleum-Tenta in Moonlight

I'm not one to wear jewelry often. It tends to get in the way when I'm making hair, and often times I'm making hair!

I got this awesome crown from a hunt, never used it for anything, then low and behold, saw the matching necklace and bracelets!

Way more girly then what I would typically wear in SL, this is something I so would grab in RL, or even make. I like odd organic shapes things.

PRETURB/ation happens to be one of my favorite stores, if I am going to buy anything that is a jewelry piece. The quality is some of the best on the grid.

You can get the Tommelise set for L$100 inworld at PRETURB/ation

*Added Note*

Totally forgot to add in that the background texture was made by MiaSnow. She has a bunch on her stream for free use, as long as you give credit back to her. They aren't for commercial use, but are perfectly sized for blogging.

"Yes yes, what is it?"



Jezret stepped from the astral portal, clearly very grumpy at having been disturbed. Walking past the nervous attendant, she flung open the door leading to the main walkway and paused, her stance radiating everything one would need to know about her level of anger.



"Well I don't see anything out of the ordinary. What were you talking about?"



What did the attendant see? Perhaps we will never really be quite sure, for the rest of the information was lost in a violent energy blast.



All you need to know from here on out though is the following: You NEED the hair, skin, horns, and eyes that you see the lovely Jezret in. I'm serious. Just look in your inventory right now. Those items are not there. Thats bad. That needs to be remedied. <3
