In another installment for the Raid My Closet challenge, I dug way back to Halloween’s past (2008) for this Katatonik Day of the Dead dress. It’s survived dozens of inventory purges simply because I love it – even though there’s not much chance to wear it.

Only a few more days to go before Halloween, and my daughter has already been through three costumes for all the stuff she has to do! Halloween is more fun than Christmas for me, and this year we put up our first Halloween tree. It’s made of bare branches spray painted black, covered in hand-made ghosts and Halloween ornaments…and it’s so cool I might keep it up for Christmas. Happy end of the year season! I hope your next week is a fitting descent into winter!

I don’t even know if there IS a Halloween edition of this challenge. I could go look, but I’m lazy as you know.
But what I do know is, for Halloween every year I collect silly things that I don’t need and keep them forever. SUCH AS…the boots. G Field had them out two years ago. They might’ve been for cheap or for free. I forget. HAD TO HAVE THEM. Continue reading
The end is here! It’s the final week of the Raid Your Closet Challenge (yes, I’m a couple days early for once).
For this final look, I’m featuring an item (the purse) from one of my all-time favorite stores, Celestial Studios. OMG I MISS IT! Celestial Studios and ETD (now Elikatira) were the stores where I purchased my first nice items, and they’ll always be special to me for that reason. They were the stores that made me realize there were actually fashionable items on the grid, and oh what a happy moment that was! It still makes me smile to remember those early days of shopping in Second Life, and how each day seemed filled with discoveries. Doing this challenge has brought back a lot of happy memories – thank you for starting it, Lucie!

Our annual Halloween Party is TONIGHT at 8pm SLT until WHENEVER and YOU are cordially invited. Dress up don’t dress up whatever but you BETTER BE THERE! See you at ROUGE tonight!
I decided that since it was Halloween and I have a wee little baby that I bought a costume for, that it’d be fun to explore SILENT’s Trick or Treat neighborhood that is set up! It’s a great build with lots of houses.
Each house has a little NPC type thing that comes out and gives you a candy! It’s really cute, and so much details was put into each house. Continue reading
It’s 11:00 and what are you doing? Well, if you go to the FAIR event, you are drinking tea in this rich brocade tea dress from 22769. The dress is a rich scarlet with a chic, modern folded bodice of silk moire. Its modern styling and traditional fabrics make a great mix of old and new.
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I’m frightened by the devil
And I’m drawn to those ones that ain’t afraid
I remember that time you told me you said
“Love is touching souls”
Surely you touched mine
‘Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you’re in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Sysy Chapman created a bustling formal gown for the Cinema event appropriately named Belle. With heavily gathered skirts and beautifully embroidered bodice, it’s a perfect fall evening gown. Continue reading
These adorable plush crows are from ~silentsparrow~ for FLF. There’s a version that sits upon one’s head, but my little avatar is too small for that today! I’m wearing Katat0nik’s Tiny Nurse Doll avatar. The cool thing about the avatar is that it automatically resizes skin, eyes, hair, and eyelashes, so that you can put on whatever you want, easily! (I styled mine vaguely gothy, of course.)
Plushies: ~silentsparrow~ (Bloo) and (Coal) Corbie Mesh Plush Crows for FLF
Skin: Frick Fall Leaves in apricot
Makeup: Frick Nemesis makeup in black
Outfit, shape, shoes, hat: Katat0nik Tiny Nurse Doll (fatpack/bloody variety)
