Deviant to the end

So I'm not dying, yet.

You still have to deal with me.

I'm still going to bug you, from time to time.

I've been in a mod of dark dark skins lately. House of Ruin had these out for gifts in my annual Halloween hunt. I'm sure you'll be able to buy them at some point. This colour was just dreamy.

I totally missed all the halloween awesomeness this year, due to my sickness. So I said fuck it, I'm not going to get into xmas, I'm doing halloween all the way into the new year. That should make up for missing a few weeks eh? So here is my wonderful wormy goodie from Sanu.

Deviance is the best place to get your year round costume needs. Here I'm wearing the newest creation to the line, this wonderful Witchy outfit. Surreal sent this over to me, and I'm normally online to say thanks, but I suck and was sick, so I figured I'd blog it to make up for not gushing all over her feet. Oh and the darling knows I love green and sends me green all the time. Got to love that! I just happened to have the perfect green shade in my new colour collection to match, so I threw on Manes of Glory to spike my look out.


The best part about Deviance is the quality. It is awesome zoomed right in, and you get so many options. Baiscally every layer possible in every piece. Also Surreal happens to be almost the same size as me, so I really don't have to resize much, it's bliss.


I'd hardly be me nowadays without my House of Ruin eyes. These were also in said hunt. I had to wear them cause they had Witch in the title. No other reason, hehe.


Now I wouldn't be Helena if I dind't have something on for free. These boots were a group gift from Maitreya.

This next outfit I wore to Ruina's Store anniversary party. I was going to go as a scarey pink poof dust bunnah type thing, but then I was like oooo Bloodrayne. She is the hottest Game Character ever. MMMMMM.

I took these shots at Groll's Inn. There is alot of different areas to play in, and most everything you come apon is buyale, but luckily isn't plastered with signage.

A few of my Favorite Things

So, I've been working my butt off trying to finish up a new release, and it's coming along nicely. But sometimes I just have to take a break. And a new release from one of my favorite designers came along and gave me the excuse I needed. :D

My boots, let me show you them!



These gorgeous things are by Erpla Prieto, the creator behind Periquita Shoes. I've loved her shoes forever, but there is a special place in my heart for BOOTS and these are the first full boots she made. I love them! They come with a nifty HUD that lets you change allll sorts of textures - the trim, the sole, the main shoe ... there's even these really adorable little bows on the toes that you can have show in a bunch of different colors ... or not! I picked colors to match the dress, but there's a whole bunch others, all pretty. But don't take my word for it - take this TAXI and go check out her demos for yourself.

I'm ALSO wearing the awesomest socks ever, "Stripey Socks" by Paisley Mizin of Sock Shop. You see, I LOVE socks, both real life and SL. So when I found Paisley's shop I kinda freaked out and bought most of them. And there's a LOT of them. They're all funky and colorful and full of win, so go check em out! At 30L a pop, I think you can afford some new socks!

Moving up ...



This dress kicks ass and takes names, and miss Stringer made it. AND it's FREE - it's the Stringer Mausoleum's Macabre Hunt gift! Hurry and go pick it up, though - the hunt ends on the 6th of October!

I'm also wearing one of the fabulous skins by one of my good friends, Evangeline Schism of SchismPhrenic.



She makes some of the best Eloh Elliot and Sezmra mods on the grid, in my opinion. You know, it's actually kind of hard to find well done skins, mods or not, that aren't just "normal" (and, frankly, kind of bland in the makeup department). Although this one I've got on, "The Devil Wears Python", is one of her more tame ones, she's got plenty more at her store that are a bit more funky :)

I'm also wearing one of my own Plasmid eyes "Honey" - it's still available at my shop FOR FREE with a couple other Plasmid eyes (there's a whole other pack of them in my SL group too). I'm pretty happy with them ... enough so that I may even make a whole line from them, so keep your eyes peeled for that sometime down the line. :)

And last, but never ever least - my favoritest hair of all time -



"Ruina v.1" ... yes, you read that right - it's named after me, so neener neener ;P. It's actually the hair style of a character of mine, and I found that I couldn't find anything like it on the grid. So I had a pow-wow with Helena and she used her magic and whipped up this beauty. It was love at first sight for me - chances are good if you run into me, I'll be wearing it. You know you want it too - go pick it up here :)

(All poses by Long Awkward Pose, backgound texture by Distressed Textures ... a few more of my favorite things ;D)

History Repeats

History Repeats.

What an interesting title. This was the name of the event that was held last week at Rezzable's Kings Rezzable Sim. Winter Jefferson was our wonderful host/organizer for this event.

The theme was dressing up as your favorite Historical Character. I really couldn't decided on anything, and wasn't staying for long, so this is what I threw on.

I got this set of Dresses, called Bonbon, at PixelDolls, knowing full well that one day, I would get a chance to wear them. There is 8 colours to the set. This was my favorite colour combo, and as all good girls do, I have perfectly matching hair!

It all seemed very mardi gras after I had it all going, but I was cool with that. The hair was actually made for Rezzable, for a past fashion event. The feel of it so went with the look I was trying to achieve.

This skin is from a up and coming designer. Daarc does not have these for purchase just yet, but I look forward to what other goodies she will have for us. The lips on these make me imagine all sorts of late, LATE nights. There are also so many yummy colours for the makeups. So far there are 4 tones, catering more to the Elven and Fae.

The eyes are from House of Ruin. I think I'm going to almost be exclusively wearing House of Ruin from now on. You really can't beat the quality for the price. SOOOOO many colours. That really is a big thing for me, since I might have everyday favorites, but am changing so often for shoots, that I can't afford to stick to a set regiment regular eye colours.

The dress seemed to walk right out from a painting.

I couldn't help but feel a bit regal in this. Though the event has past, history still repeats. Thus I share!

Skin-Elfpyre-Not yet Released
Hair-The Stringer Mausoleum-Stained in Deep Tipped-L$225
Eyes-House of Ruin-Felid in Scarlet-L$20
Eyelashes-La Syphide-Natural prim lashes-L$0

Lucky in Fleur

A few weeks ago Fleur came out with some new spring makeups for the Shoujo line they have. Though they are more girly then my normal taste, I do so love the slight japanese feel. Plus there are ways to spice anything up.

I went, bought, and put on. THEN . . . I ended up tp'd to some lucky chairs and won the whole lot! There was like 6 chairs!

The Dress is one of the lucky chair gifts from Discord. There are a few different colours, but today seemed like an orange day.

I threw on one of my more Japanese inspired hairs, which is actually a dollarbie in the store. The really rad thing? you get it in all 114 colours and it comes with attachments that I'm not wearing.

Now these eyes you ask, where do you think I got them? Can you guess?

Haha didn't buy them, but yes they are from House of Ruin. The may end up a hunt gift, or may end up for sale, don't know yet, but I own them and you don't so it's all good! Neener neener!

I of course won the matching booties to the dress while on my 6 lucky chair win spree. These are from Discord as well.

I hope your Fleur Skins bring you as much luck as mine did!

Transformation

As the tribespeople of the Stringer clan came to the defenses of the poor unicorns at Starlust Motel AKA Sparkle Village, they couldn't help but breath in all the glittery goodness. As a divine blessing from their unicorn goddesses, there began a transformation in the tribespeople.

Rainbow colours abound!


Also lots of random "action".

The face of bliss.

Prancing for Joy.

Preening in her lovely mane.

Posing for onlookers, we are a vain bunch, amidst all this glitter.

*Limited Special Edition Hawk*

The strange things you find in the desert ...

Deep in the desert, while the sun is high and you're not really sure if you're delirious from the heat, you come across a creature at once familiar and strange. Is it a person? Is it an animal? And ... is that a HORN on it's head? The creature sees you, turning it's mysterious stare upon you, almost as if it were passing a judgment on you. Its gaze makes you uncomfortable and you want to shoo it away, but you find yourself strangely immobilized.



"You. You are trapped in a world of make believe." It says, its voice cool and matter-of-fact.

"I'd think so. Why else would I be seeing you?" You manage to muster, thinking yourself somewhat clever.

"No. You do not understand. THIS, this is real. Your world of jobs, and houses, and money, and wristwatches - that is the world of make believe. You pretend those things are real and important. But they are not."

You are dumbfounded. Of course that can't be true ... Can it?

"Wha ... what does that even mean?" You manage to stammer.

The creature's eyes turn kind and it graces you with a smile that fills your soul with warmth, light, and ease.

"It means, learn to hear what your heart says, for it speaks truth." And with that, it dashes off into the redstone landscape, vanishing in the heatwaves.
