This year, I’ve had to work hard to celebrate Halloween. It’s my favorite holiday and I love it for a lot of reasons, but a few things tried to get in the way of my joy. A lot of you know that I was diagnosed with cancer last year. In March, after chemotherapy, the doctors said it was gone, but sadly by September it was back. I’m about to face another month of chemotherapy starting next week, and this week is my last gasp of chemical freedom before I walk down that road.
I’m pretty lucky as far as cancer and chemotherapy goes. My cancer is Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma of the duodenum, and it’s still Stage 1 in small spots on my duodenum that have apparently not chosen to metastasize throughout my lymph nodes. I’m incredibly relieved about this. The chemotherapy that I will undergo is a gentle one, Rituxan. It targets B-cells instead of ALL the cells. Last time around I didn’t lose my hair. This time, I’m begging the universe that the cancer cells have not become immune, and that they’ll die just as easily as they did last time. I’m in for a lot of maintenance chemotherapy too (every few months for a year or so), but I’m ready for it. If it kills the cancer, great.
So despite this, I’m celebrating my ass off tomorrow. I’m going to wear a costume to my real life job, and I’ll wear all the pretty orange that there is in Second Life. I’m grateful for the full moon and the lack of a storm down here in Florida, for the health and life that I have, and for the medicine that will give me even more. I raise my pumpkin pop to the joy of the season! May you all have even more reason to celebrate than I do!
I have a few more photos and the outfit credits behind this cut.
The fabulous mesh costume from JRC makes me think so much of Maleficent, the Mistress of All Evil, who casts the spell on Sleeping Beauty. The dress is actually named Nosferata to conjure the image of a vampire, but I think a vampire queen could be Mistress of All Evil, too. And of course, that makes me think of the wonderful Eartha Kitt performance of “I Want to Be Evil.”
I’ve posed for pictures with Iv’ry Soap,
I’ve petted stray dogs, and shied clear of dope
My smile is brilliant, my glance is tender
But I’m noted most for my unspoiled gender
I’ve been made Miss Rheingold, though I never touch beer,
And I’m the person to whom they say, “Your sweet, My Dear.”
The only etchings I’ve seen have been behind glass,
And the closest I’ve been to a bar, is at ballet class.
I love how the draping and highlighting of the mesh texture give this gown the feeling that even though its made of latex, it’s fluid in its movements.
Prim and proper, the girl who’s never been kissed,
I’m tired of being pure and not chased.
Like something that seeks it’s level
I wanna go to the devil.
The dress is cut dangerously high, so unless you are a bit of exhibitionist, you will need to find a thong that covers the essentials. The fetish thong from Ezura worked well. Although this is a standard shape, I did have to make a minor adjustment. I wore it to some DJ sets and danced and found that my knee would poke through. By changing my shape to make my knees just ever so slightly knock-kneed, that stopped happening and I was able to dance just fine. The shoes are N-Core’s Pinup pumps in red, echoing the rich red lining of the skirt.
I wanna be evil, I wanna spit tacks
I wanna be evil, and cheat at jacks
I wanna be wicked, I wanna tell lies
I wanna be mean, and throw mud pies
This can be worn with or without the crown. It also comes with skin and a makeup mask tattoo, but I left them off in favor of the freakishly frightening Demon makeup for PXL Creations Halloween Gacha.
I want to wake up in the morning
with that dark brown taste
I want to see some dissipation in my face
I wanna be evil, I wanna be mad
But more that that I wanna be bad
I wanna be evil, and trump an ace,
Just to see my partner’s face.
I wanna be nasty, I wanna be cruel
I wanna be daring, I wanna shoot pool
I confess that when I first saw this skin, I didn’t like it. It was just too out there for me. But when I put it on with this costume, I thought it was perfect – capturing the idea of evil hiding next to the facade of beauty – must more frightening.
And in the theatre
I want to change my seat
Just so I can step on
Everybody’s feet
I wanna be evil, I wanna hurt flies
I wanna sing songs like the guy who cries
I wanna be horrid, I wanna drink booze
And whatever I’ve got I’m eager to lose
I wanna be evil, little evil me
Just as mean and evil as I can be

Gogo has been up to something, you can see it in her eyes! She’s revamped the I Heart SL feed in order to bring it into compliance with Google’s® policies. This change makes her feed Safe For Work and family-friendly. You can browse with the kidlets on your lap and don’t have to switch screens when your granny walks by. To do this, she has removed all her feed’s blogs and everyone must reapply for inclusion. Gogo will be adding instructions soon, but according to her plurks she is away from her house and folks are curious about what to do. So I hope this helps.
The Halloween Gacha is in full swing and I’ve made some tasty cookies and a cookie basket for my gacha offering. There is nothing wrong with cookies for breakfast. NOTHING AT ALL. Continue reading

I guess the title is misleading since there’s nothing FooFoo about this bunny. A better title might be Little Bunny Ooh-La-La. I picked this bunny cocktail costume up at Collabor88 a few months ago and wore it for the Halloween Party last night.
All I needed was a few hours alone and so since Codie assured me she was totally capable of watching Sophie, I headed out.
Surely nothing could go wrong. Continue reading
