*Halloween Meme*

I have been having horrid net issues today so I may or may not be able to post credits to this post quite yet as I can't get into second life... luckily I already had my photos done for this post. Strawberry Singhs meme for this week is all about Halloween. Halloween Meme  PS I sort of stole Strawberries costume and location for these shots (don't be mad) I have a plethora of Costumes in my inv and hadn't decided what I wanted to do until I saw Strawberries post... Now its not a copy but my photos are greatly inspired by what she posted and I normally don't do that but I really really liked the Redgrave Zombie Bride costume she posted about and I had already been to the Sim that Strawberry posted on thanks to the Explore SL group in Flickr. So thank you Strawberry and please remember imitation is the greatest form of flattery ( so they say) and please forgive me for sort of copying you.









Did you go trick or treating as a child? Yes I did I am the oldest of 5 siblings so it was always a huge family affair when we did trick or treating. I think I was in 7th grade the last time I trick or treated.

What was the best Halloween costume you ever saw or wore yourself? Hmmm... that's a toughie ... My mom was very into home-made Halloween Costumes and we were ALWAYS entered into the costume contests at the local fire station. I think my favorite costume was when my mom made one of my little sisters into Twinkle Twinkle little star and the favorite one for me to wear was Strawberry Shortcake and She-ra.. I remember running around in that costume until it fell apart.

What is your most vivid memory about Halloween?  Back in the day 80's and early 90's EVERYONE did Halloween.. you could go to neighborhood after neighborhood with just a few houses here and there that didn't give out candy we ALWAYS came home with one of those HUGE black garbage bags filled with candy from 5 kids... We would go trick or treating in a neighborhood and when our bags were full we dumped them into that bag and on to the next neighborhood... I have three kids and let me tell you how disappointing Halloween is now... It just seems like no one gets into it anymore and everyone turns there lights off so there isn't a lot of places to go. Thank goodness for the Church Trunk or Treats and the Carnivals.

What is the scariest movie you have ever seen?  Ok first you must all know I am a HUGE ninny. Scary movies of ANY kind give me nightmares and I don't watch most of them but... as a kid I remember that Freddy Kruegar movies were the scariest things EVER.. I had a neighbor boy that thought it was HIGHLARIOUS to sing one two Freddys coming for you... omg even typing it gives me the heebie jeebies.

Do you ever get nightmares after watching a scary movie? YES.. I even cried and freaked out during the Blair Witch Project when it first came out I thought it was real... so that right there tells you what a major wimp I am lol.

Are you superstitious? If so, name at least one superstition of yours. Yes and no... I do knock on wood and if I spill salt I toss it over my shoulder.. I guess it depends on the situation and what not.

What will you be doing for Halloween this year, if anything, in SL and RL? I took my 3 kiddos Trick or Treating in RL and I actually just got home not long ago so I have only been in sl once earlier this morning before my net decided it didn't want  me in SL today... SO... I am not doing anything in SL for Halloween...I have however spent most of the last two weeks on spooky sims and doing some hunts and the occasional party for Halloween.

Credits to follow when I can get back into SL :) Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

*Gathering*

The Second Life Fa-BOO-lous Halloween Snapshot Contest is here! Get your avi ready and show us your best Halloween/Dia de los Muertos themed images. Today I have a photo for you that I will be entering into the Second Life Haunted Highlights snapshot contest. Go HERE to enter and see all the entries. I am a pretty big fan of Halloween so this photo was super fun for me to do.. obviously by my posts I love to dress up and my avi is constantly changing.. there is no one set style for me I wear what I like.
The Idea behind this photo is a gathering of souls during the celebration Día de los Muertos or Day of the Dead as we here in the US refer to it. It takes place after Halloween on Nov 1-2nd. I love the sugar skull trend that seems to be getting more and more popular so that's what my avi is portraying in this photo. Hope you all enjoy. Have a safe and happy Halloween and called Día de los Muertos.

Costume Time

Seeing as though tomorrow is officially Halloween I figured I better get a costume post up before it is too late. My costume is from Boudoir. The owner and the creator is Precious Restless. She is truly talented to say the least.  The name of my costume is Beautiful Death Couture 1.2 in case you want to go and pick it up. I loved that the costume came as a complete kit. The only thing that I changed was the hair.  Now for the pictures, forgive me a got a little picture taking happy
 I love all the skulls on the skirt!
 The headpiece and eyes really add to the look



 I am in love with these pictures

I think this is a great costume over all. It moves with my avie well and it has mesh parts.
I am wearing a pink fuel skin and my hair is from Armidi.

*Design Open House : Editorial Clarity*

Today Honey and I both are posting on the same House. Editorial Clarity blows my mind I want to kidnap him and chain him to my RL house until my house looks just like the one I am about to show you. Gorgeous, Stunning, Exquisite are just some of the words to describe his interior design. If you haven't yet I suggest you go at once to his BLOG then run run run... no FLY and TP because we can do that in sl to the actual open house that showcases his design. Here is your limo GO NOW... you will fall in absolute love. Open House I stayed a good hour looking and loving all the small details and gorgeous items taking photos and dreaming and being inspired. Here are some pics that I took today... trust me these do this no justice and you must must must I say go and see for yourselves.

*Private Life*

Ok so I am behind on blogging this week, my apologies! Sometimes it's hard to have both of my lives and of course RL always comes first. This week has been super hectic and has kept me away from SL more than usual. Since I am behind and haven't really got to keep up with new releases this week (The only new release in these pics is the skin Vera by Glam Affair, Gorgeous new line go see for yourself), I chose to do an older (by two weeks) Bloggers Challenge from Strawberry Singh You may or may not have thought about what your avi might do when you are not logged in and controlling him/her... well I have... TONS more than I probably should. I have a super busy RL as well as an SL so when I log out I know exactly what Alcina does without me. I always have her working and she rarely gets any time to just hang with friends, pamper herself of sleep even. That's the biggest one.. I average about 3-4 hours of sleep a night and poor Alcina ... she's in the same boat. When I log I imagine her sitting in a tub soaking and relaxing after a long day of being pushed and pulled like a puppet. Then she decides "Hey, I am going to go have some fun tonight, hang out with friends have a few drinks" But does she ever make it NO... she passes out from exhaustion shortly after her bath. Poor Alcina, perhaps I should send her on a vacation before she cracks.

What happens to Honey after I logg off??????????

Have you ever wondered what your avatar does after you have logged off to get back to real life?  I have a couple of times and this is what I came up with.......
Sometimes I have to hurry and logg off even if its in the middle of a project. Its annoying but it happens.
So this is Honey's reaction to the mess I left......
I do not think that she is very happy with me.

 Here is a picture of my mess. I promise I was going to finish

 The following are pictures of what Honey did while I was gone............


She organized!! Even the pumpkin found a cozy home on the couch.



I have learned that Honey likes to organize while I am away. So I should either finish my projects to make her happy or leave them for her to finish. Tough call...................

Evil Chicken

I wanted to show you some of the amazing things I got from Collabor88 this month and I have been looking for the perfect place to take pictures. Well thanks to a couple of great groups on flicker I found just the perfect sim to take some pictures.
Spencer Art Museum is such a cool sim. I really enjoyed my time exploring and wondering around.
If you get a chance check it out.

Here I was practicing my Kung Fu getting ready to fight the evil chickens that were wondering around.
 I wanted to make sure I got a close up of my face to show off the new Glam Affair Skin I am wearing in Neva-Jamaica. I had to go brunet to wear it, which does not happen often but I love it.
 Looking pretty under the sea.

*Purple Dreams*

Yesterday was so nice weather wise then today it was so cold and rainy and windy I've been in a hoody all day curled up with a book and just being lazy.. just one of those days. Here it seems to have gone from Summer to Winter and Fall was left out which is such a shame since it is my favorite season after all. Yesterday I did some Christmas shopping, I promised myself this year I was NOT going to wait until last minute like I do every year and I plan on keeping that promise to myself. *fingers crossed* Todays post is just a fun pretty post with some Collabor88 goodies and an amazing head-dress from Sugagoth that I got from the Flux event. Enjoy Happy Friday to Everyone and hope you all enjoy your weekend!

The Kustom 9 event

I went to visit the kustom9 event today and I loved the design of the sim, especially the circus tent. I hate clowns but I love the circus.
If you are not familiar here  is a link to their tumblr page. I like that everything is pretty affordable and will not break the bank. I bought a couple of things and I wanted to get this out so you can go and take a look and know what is out there before it goes away.


All of the pictures were taken at the alirium sim which I love love love. It is so beautiful.

*Sophisticated Chic*

I tell you the month of October is going to bankrupt me with all the awesome monthly events and fairs that are going on. Today I have things from Collabor88, The Cosmetics Fair and Kustom9. This dress I am showcasing from LivGlam is so freaking sexy I would absolutely wear this as my little black dress in RL. I think I will probably wear this dress for days and days... thank goodness there are no such things as needing to do laundry or shower in sl ;)

*Tuesday Newnesday*

Here is another post featuring some Collabor88 goodies. I just love when the 8th of each month rolls around although.... I wait a few days so I don't have to deal with the lagfest. I bought this hair from D!va in a different color than I normally wear. I have been a blonde in sl for as long as I can remember so wearing brown is def something new for me. I am also wearing a darker skin tone than I normally do. I normally wear Glam Affairs skin in America but when I put on the New skins from Collabor88 in Jamaica I sort of fell in love... a dif look without having to change my shape which I love. So brown hair was in order with this darker skin and I think I may keep myself this way for awhile. Anyways onto the photo and Credits.... Hope you enjoy.

*Google Meme*

Today I am doing my first Bloggers Challenge/Meme. I love LOVE Strawberry Singh's Blog. I have been reading it for years now and have greatly enjoyed her posts, tutorials, challenges and meme's. I am super excited to be joining the rest of the SL blogging world and will from now on be doing the Monday Meme Challenge every week. Hope you guys enjoy.



Meme instructions: Google your SL name and answer the following questions. Don’t forget to leave a comment with a link to your post so we can all drop by, read and be nosy. Optional: click over to Emily’s blog and do her Google challenge as well. Don’t forget to leave a comment in her post if you end up doing it, so she can come stalk you guys too!

Before you start to answer these questions, open up a fresh browser and clear cache if you can. Make sure you are not logged into your Google account and it might even be better if you open up a incognito window.


 
 
Google your Second Life name in "quotations" and share your results. About 437 results
What is the first link that comes up? The Arcade Photography Contest ... My entry.
Which link were you surprised to see? Nothing really they were mostly my blog posts or my flickr photos I saw a few sites that other photographers that have taken my photo have posted my photos on so that was neat.
Click on the "Image" tab and tell us where the first 5 pictures listed are from. The first 5 photos are all photos from my own blog.
Click on the "more" tab and then click "news" and share your results. woot woot no news on me ;) guess the paparazzi hasn't caught up to me yet lol.

Ok so my questions were a little simple and possibly boring, that’s why I am doing the meme mashup because Emily’s questions are definitely more interesting. Click over to her Google challenge and answer her questions. Her instructions were to Google ourselves under both our real life name and our second life name and share what comes up. Here are my answers:
How did the two digital footprints compare, and did that surprise you?Same as Strawberry I got about 2,630 results under my name so obviously my RL name is more common than my SL name lol.
Does anyone interesting share your name? Not that I could see the first few pages were links back to my FB, Etsy, Pinterest etc.
Are you happy with the size of your digital footprint, or do you wish either one was larger/smaller? I would absolutely like my digital footprint for the SL me to be larger. I think maybe my RL footprint could be smaller...I didnt really like that you could type my name in and pull up my photos from FB and links to all my accounts... I think I am going to have to go double check my privacy settings on all my accounts because I could of sworn they were private....
If you woke up/ logged in one morning to discover over night you had suddenly gained rock-star status, and everybody knew who you were and wanted to know what you were doing… what would you do? I think I would probably freak out... I am an introvert and I absolutely love the little bubble I live in with my family.. I do not want that to change. I have no desire to be famous.

The trees are made of candy which I thought was so cute.
