Where are my damn earrings?

So, I spent ages working on these pics -- posing, photographing, editing --only to realize that I'm missing an earring (I'm sorry Lola!), so this blog is going to be about losing an earring.

If you happen to see my earring, please return it.  I promise I won't bite you, unless you ask nicely.

This is why I'm a scrooge

I'm not feeling the holiday spirit this year.  In fact, I'm a bit of a scrooge.  If I had a choice, I'd just skip the whole holiday season, but there are some awesome things going on that keep me from turning into an axe murder.  For example:

The RFL Quarantine: A Postapocolyptic Hunt:

This hunt runs from December 1st to the 31st and all proceeds benefit Relay for Life.  There are two paths - a human path and a hybrid path.  If you want to go on the human path, start at -=Forsaken=- and make a $100L donation to the RFL kiosk at the entrance.  From there, you will get a badge that will allow you to get ALL the hunt prizes from that path.  There are 83 stores on the human path and 62 stores on the mutant path (which starts at Pop Tart and Urban Assault -- SLURL)

-=Forsaken=- has this "Epic bat of skull smashingness" as their hunt gift.  It's probably a good idea to pick it up for this hunt.  You'll probably need it.

-=Forsaken=- is also participating in the A Very Scary Christmas Hunt.   Now, that is my kind of hunt!  You can get this Stabby Cane for absolutely free.  The hunt runs from December 1st to the 31st.  

I really hate it when that happens!

Another hunt to look forward to is a mini hunt at JeSyLiLo.  Just look for the letters hidden around the shop spelling out J e S y L i L o.  There are skins, tattoos, clothes, and even shoes there for free!

Now, I know what you're thinking at this point.  "Isabeal, those boots!  OMG!  They're kick ass!" And you're absolutely right.  They are!  They're a new release from -=Forsaken=-, and they are awesome.  I might never take them off.

What the

Have you ever seen something out of the corner of your eye, and when you turned to look, it was gone?  You swear it was a monster, or a gargoyle that moved, or maybe a ghost.  Maybe it was just a trick of the light.  Maybe you didn't really see anything at all.

Have you ever caught your reflection in a window and didn't recognize yourself?  It's nice when you think, "Wow, she's gorgeous!  Oh, wait, that's me!"

But what if those two phenomenon happen at the same time?  You see a reflection, and it's a strange version of you, but you also see something else - something sinister or dangerous.  It's following you, and you don't know why.  You can only catch it out of the corner of your eye, then it goes away.

Beware.

She Returns

I've been away for awhile.  RL got to be hectic, and it still is, but I miss SL.  So, I popped into my favorite shops and spent the afternoon exploring.  I will be back full speed as soon as I can.

Is this too dressed up to stay in?

This Liana dress is a gift from Obsidian Desires to the new The Sinister Goth group. Just join the group and check the group notices.

Dilly Dolls has just released a new dolly skin line - the Lillie Skin.  There are six tones and twelve makeups in each tone.  I'm wearing the Marshmallow tone - the lightest.  Click the picture to see more detail.

It's a lovely skins - with traditional dolly flair.  The variety of makeups will fit a number of different styles - from sweet innocent dolly to scary goth dolly.

See that gorgeous necklace?  It's from Lolapop!  The purple and red version are available for Hump Day Happiness today for only 69L.

Happy Blech Day!

Job opening:  Valentine needed.  Apply within.

I'm kinda getting used to spending Valentine's Day alone.  My little Chihuahua said she'd be my Valentine this year.  Isn't she sweet?

I can't figure out whether or not Oriana Kuhr of Dilly Dolls likes Valentine's Day.  She made these cute Oops Cupid dresses to celebrate the day, but the cute little animals all have X'd out eyes.  Hmmmmm.  They come in lotsa colors and coordinate perfectly with her recent release, the Stella Shoes.  I paired the dress with Lolapop's new Stupid Cupid necklace (from a mini-hunt at the shop).  So, the tale this outfit tells is that Cupid is so stupid that he shoots cute little animals and kills them.  Oops!

Heartache

Opposites really don't attract.  At least that's what psychologists and sociologists have known for awhile.  So, what could be better than to pair a heartache necklace from Lolapop! with flowers and sunshine?  Because for me, heartache is all I've ever known.  I find my own sunshine now, alone.  It feels much better than being stabbed in the heart again and again and again.

Because It's Not At All Sunny Here

I haven't seen the sun for weeks in RL and had a bad day today, so I thought a bright sunny trip to the Juicy sim would be the perfect cure.  That and these new boots from Dilly Dolls.  They're my new favorite!  I LOVE chunky boots!

It's only my second try at shadows and I'm not very good at it yet.  I think the gamma is too high for a pale skin tone, but since I'm a ghost, it doesn't matter.  :-)

I do not have the key to my heart.  I threw it away long ago.

That is why I am alone.

80s

I think some of the best things in life came out of the 80s.  Flashdance, Joan Jett hair, leg warmers, and of course, the music.  I will always be loyal to my 80s bands.  I still love you Robert Smith, Ian Astbury, and Andrew Eldritch.  Steve Perry, you can always sing me your power ballads.

My Three Obsessions

I'm a little obsessed with the Utopia03 sim, so this is my 2nd blog post from there.  I wanted to highlight a couple of wonderful items I found recently.  The first are the beautiful Le Mystere Eyes in emerald from Pulse/Rfyre - the deep green is so pretty, and all the eyes in the series feature the deep jewel tones that I love so much.   The second item is the BloodRose Necklace from SpiritWeaver Jewelers.  It's part of the 60L weekend series, comes with matching earrings, and I thought it was the perfect thing for Mother's Day.  It features the triple moon goddess symbol, which I have always been drawn to.  So, here are my three obsessions, Utopia, jewel tone eyes, and the goddess.
