Ironically I took these pictures before I had to leave my house due to an impending hurricane back in the beginning of October. Luckily we didn’t have any damage but spending so much time in the car I am off road trips for a while! And hurricanes, but I have more control over the road trips than the weather.
I am sure there are some quotes out there about weathering a storm or something but today is not the day to go searching for that. I will however tell you to live every moment to its fullest because you never know when a storm will hit (I mean a proverbial storm not the predictable weather type).
Happy Halloween all you spooky scary skeletons. Or for those of you who aren’t in a place that celebrates, Happy Thursday. I will admit Halloween and Christmas are my favorite holidays because I love to decorate for them both. This year the yard is not as decorated as it has been in the past thanks to hurricanes and the fact that I did not clearly label my decorations so I have no idea which one has all my spooky decorations. I couldn’t let today pass with out some nod to the day so I went with a witchy vibe.
I think the scariest thing about this whole picture is that I am looking an arcane library looking for a spell to do something. Will it be something nefarious or something curative? Honestly I think it depends on whether I have had enough coffee to make me a nice person to be around. Speaking of that I should go and get more into me before I turn into a total ghoul for the day!
Go to a corn maze, it will be fun they said. Sure it’s all fun and games till you get yourself all turned around and start thinking of the minotaur and his labyrinth. Maybe that is just me and my recent delve into all sorts of mythology. In all honesty in the non-digital world I am pretty good at corn mazes, but then again they do give you an aerial view of the maze.
In SL however I get lost easier than, well something very easy. For example I get lost several times at The Fantasy Faire each year and at some other events too. It can be a bit daunting as you can see from the look I have going on here. Or maybe I am just trying to show off my pumpkin-y manicure.
I know, I know I have been very quiet lately. I have been so overwhelmed with my non-digital life that I don’t know where to start. I haven’t been slacking though I swear. I have a bunch of ideas and photos to get to so yay! Right now I would love nothing more than to hide from my non-digital life and when I saw this mouth tape thing one weekend I knew I needed it.
I mean honestly who wouldn’t want to tell reality to take a flying leap? Also you can tell I am not feeling myself because there is an abundance of pink in this post! I think I took a ton of picture when wearing this look because I was loving the way the light was reflecting(?) off the lenses of the glasses. Of course they went clear when I got all up in my face. I shall leave you with the credits for now as I get back to work on all these ideas.
I have been told that no one really believes that I am sweet and innocent. Everyone seems to be able to agree to the sweet part (boy do I have them fooled), but no one seems to think I am innocent. I mean just because I might look like I have a secret side doesn’t mean I do!
Could someone who takes such awkward pictures not be innocent? I don’t know where I am going with any of this as I am writing it late on Sunday and my brain has taken the weekend off. I think the point of this post was that I am sweet, innocent and my favorite color is yellow if you couldn’t guess that bit.
Or maybe it is more of a divine bovine? Yes I know it’s been three months since I have posted. It was an unplanned summer break. During my break I spent some time with family and sort of recharged my creative energies. That is not the point though, the point here is I just really wanted to make a post about this pun/wordplay thing that made me chuckle while I was herbally infused. Here is a better look at my face so you can see the bovine beauty in all it’s glory.
The only cute part of my cow self is my tail. It sort of had a mind of it’s own flicking this way and that. Oh well at least you can see my ears and adorable nubby horns.
Here we see a mermaid in her natural habitat trying to seduce a shipwrecked sailor. The mermaid uses her seductive looks to draw him in. Little does the unwitting sailor know that this mermaid is not like the ones he heard tales of in his youth. Her tears contain no magic powers as she is not known to have ever shed a tear. As the sailor gets close the mermaid springs her trap and drags him into the deep waters of the ocean to her lair.
There surrounded by all her fish friends and the remains of her previous victims she waits for the sailor to take his last breath before she sinks her teeth into his sun baked flesh.
She is ready to take flight in her purple dress, with the slit up to her faery cake. You can’t see it because of the pose, but I did have on a little modesty covering so that my magic muffin stayed covered. I figured the colors of the dress fit in spectacularly with the purples and blues in Duskfall Court.
I couldn’t forget making sure she had some fabulous jewels to wear because, well she is just fabulous. I may have gone overboard with all the purple, but when you visit Duskfall Court you will understand the reason…maybe.
I was going to title this post “Please Don’t Eat The Daisies”, but then my dirty mind kicked in and I thought it wouldn’t be nice of me to dictate what someone does with the daisies. And Yes I am that kind of cheese that I made the hair match the flowers, well as best I could anyway. These adorable daisy outfits are currently available at…you guessed it, Fantasy Faire! If you wanna have some fun with someone you can actually pluck the petals. Since I didn’t have anyone around at the time my petals were left unplucked. And I think before I make anymore dirty innuendos I will leave you with a closeup of my daisy makeup and the credits.
Every year before Fantasy Faire opens they send out a Panic Flamingo. This year I thought why not be the Panic Flamingo? So I held open auditions and only told myself and the only other competitor, the coffee flamingo. I started off strong with the pink feathers and offering of refreshments. I did make a misstep when I referred to the role as the Panic Chicken instead of flamingo. I don’t know why my brain wants it to be a chicken so bad!
My second mistake came during the question and answer round. The question that got me into the most trouble was “What would you do to help motivate creators”. The coffee-mingo said something about encouraging words and fresh coffee on demand. A very diplomatic answer I guess, but would that really motivate them? My answer caused a bit of an uproar and phrases being tossed about like “creating a hostile work environment”, “You can’t assault creators” and “You need to leave…Now”. All I said was that I would pelt them with day old scones if they were slacking off. I mean all the hard working ones would get fresh pastries and tea, or coffee I guess. So my dreams of being the Panic Flamingo were dashed, but read on because I may have gotten my revenge.
You see after my crushing defeat and swearing never to pull a stunt like this again I was approached by these little fellas (fellas being a non-gender specific use here). They told me if I wanted a sneak peek at all the Fantasy Faire happenings and maybe a idea of what the realms will be they have the hook up. It will only cost me some waffles and wootberry syrup. Now waffles are easy to come by, even I know how to make them, but I was troubled by the wootberry syrup. Was is faire slang for some illegal substance, was it just a flavor I had never heard of before? In the end I just mixed some blueberry, strawberry and maple syrup together and presented it with the waffles. They seemed will to tell me where to get the information so now I am sharing with you. And no it’s not because I am petty.
