Creepy things that come out at night

010p

I’m not really into all the creepy and scary things that come around this time of year when the Halloween season is upon us.  Though I do like to challenge myself to get outside my comfort zone.  We’ll see what the days ahead will bring, because I’ve seen some really creepy make your skin crawl stuff already.

Today I’m showcasing a few items that can be found at the Salem Macabre Market & Gacha Gallows Event that will run until October 31st.  There is a bit of everything to get your scary thrills on, including home and garden decor that I am featuring.

The Hive has the “Something Sinister Gacha,” which includes the secret shack that is the rare in the set, boards on the window, chandelier, floor candelabra, pentagram and the keep out sign and put a spell on you frame.  There are a few more pieces to the set. I’ve included the gacha key at the bottom of credits.  The second item by Hive is a pumpkin cart set, that includes all the pumpkins and the cart on the porch. I love this set and will probably feature it again soon in another scene.

I’m also featuring items by unKindness.  The wall creepers set is gacha with the rare being the trick or treaters near the door.  The other two wall creepers being shown are on the window boards.  I’ve also included the gacha key at the bottom.

The last item being featured is also by unKindness and it’s the Victorian fence. It’s a kit that allows you to create your own fence line.  It’s a lovely set that works in any landscape settings.

Have a great lazy Sunday!

Taking a moment of reflection 

07

I am attempting to use my phone to post this morning. It’s not my usual method as I prefer a desktop for any computer use. Though I’m not home until this afternoon and wanted to get at least this portion done and post to Flickr later.

Today I’m wearing a new skin called Imani by Essences, made for the LeLutka mesh head. It comes in several tones…the tone worn is medium. The thick eyebrows is what I really like with this skin.  The mesh hair I’m wearing is Thalia by enVOGUE and it’s at the main store. You will find it in a range of hair colors giving you plenty of options to choose from. Variety is a must these days.  This hair has a long braid going down the back and with the hair pulled back in the front it’s easily workable for any outfit.

The dress is by Una and it’s a new release for Project Se7en and you’ll find it in a few colors such as pink, green and black to name some. As seen in the picture it gives your chest quite a boost, though I’m sure you’re not going to get any complaints on that.

Now to the decor. I’m happy to be blogging for Dreamscapes Art Gallery, a store that I’ve been familiar with since joining SL. It’s got some fantastic decor pieces, from small to large, to fill any room you decorate.  It’s where you’ll find most of this Autumn decor I’m showing. The crates with pumpkins and apples. It’s apple season so just in time for some homemade apple bread.

There’s a few goodies also worth mentioning. The bushel of pumpkins next to me is a market place special for just under 40L. The pumpkins are texture change. The wreath and scarecrow are freebies if you are a member of the subscriber group for La Galleria. Check out her store while you’re there.

As soon as I am able to I will update this post with some of the missing landmarks.

Anyways, enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Happy Friday!

Today I am doing a fashion post showing heels/boot style shoes, which is the latest release by N-Core.  They are available at Uber in 16 options or all in a fatpack and mesh body compatible.

I’m also wearing the Helen jewelry set by Zibska, which is available at Retro Rewind.  The set is comprised of necklace and earrings and comes with a texture change hud for the beads.  In the background I’m also showing some of the newest trees by Little Branch. The umbrella thorn is at Cosmopolitan and the wild maple is at SaNaRae and both are 4 seasons.

Enjoy the rest of your day and wishes for a fabulous weekend ahead.

All the time someone is watching you

dad-013ps4

I’m in the groove right now listening to 80’s music, which was one of the highlights of my teenage years.  When I was putting this scene together the song, “Somebody’s Watching Me,” is what came to mind.  For most of my career, at least the past 15 years, I had a very public life where I had to get used to the fact that there is always someone watching you.

I kid you not. It was a bit uncanny when comments would reach me that someone would see me at a certain place or I said this or that, all unbeknownst to me.  I was still in this career when I started Second Life that at times I was a little apprehensive with it. Though I’m no longer in that career and fully embracing not having to censor everything that I do or say.

Today I am showing DaD Design’s latest creation, which is the ‘Wrought Iron Vintage Bed’.  It’s 100% original mesh and is available in both PG and Adult and has 4 different texture colors (white – gray – dark grey – black) accessible by clicking on the headboard.

You can find more details on the bed below the credits.

There’s no place I rather be than home

When I got this skybox to blog the first thing that caught my eye was the design. My mind started to think of how I could decorate it, to create a living space without a big emptiness in the middle and keeping in mind the view from the windows.  You can see it without the furniture below. That’s where I challenged myself to completely decorate it and hoping that I would have enough prim to do so. It’s mesh and the quality of the textures are very good. It’s by Dubu and available now at SaNaRae until October 18th.

ubu-0102ps

The other items that are being featured today are some of the decor pieces in the room.  Some of the plants on the table and on the stairs are by .aisling. and are available at the Fantasy Collective.  There are two sets: the Mandragorae includes four versions with texture change via menu and Herbae includes three versions with texture change via menu as well.  Each plant is only 1 land impact.

ubu-011

The vase in the table with twigs and the book near it sitting on top of some other books are by Serenity Style and at LTD The Event.  Unfortunately, it is the last round for this event as it was unexpectedly announced to us yesterday.  I’ve included vendor pictures of both the plants and the items by Serenity below credits so there is no confusion.

snapshot_014

The remaining pictures with the one on top of this text and below are so that you can see the details and quality of the skybox.

My credits lists is huge and while I tried my best to stay in some particular order I might have gotten distracted and wandered from side to side as I copied and pasted. Though as always, if you want to know about any particular item, please don’t hesitate to contact me via comments, in-world or even flickr.

There’s a trail that always leads back to you

essences-envogue-on9-033

I got so distracted decorating a skybox that I will be blogging soon that I forgot that I was also posting.  Then I had to run an errand during and here it is early afternoon and just getting around to it.  I can’t be the only one that loses track of time.

I’m wearing a new hairstyle by enVOGUE that is available at the main store. The Sabrina is rigged mesh and is available in 96 colors, root & ombre colors, and also an accessory that can be changed via HUD.

I’m wearing a romper by Wicca Wardrobe, which is still available at this current round of On9, which ends tomorrow.  It’s available in several colors. The last item being featured are these shoes by N-Core. They are fairly new, having been released at a previous event and are now available at the main store.  It’s made for the Maitreya Lara, Belleza (Venus, Isis, Freya) and Slink (Physique & Hourglass).  It’s available in mix and match colors with loads of a girl’s best friend… diamonds!  The diamonds are removable.

Edit: I forgot to credit and mention the skin and tattoo that I am wearing. My apologies as I didn’t double check that I had everything when I just copied and pasted from my note card.

The tattoo is called Ameli and it’s by Aurica Store and available at the main store. It’s available in black and white and made Maitreya, Slink, TMP and Omega.

The skin I am wearing is by Essences and it’s a gacha skin set at Kustom9.  There are 12 skins total for the Imani skin, with 1o commons and 2 rare.
