WGF 2015 – Alas, I knew you well
I knew you well, I really did. Alas, it was not to be and instead I hold your skull in my hands, Used solely to weight the papers upon my desk. Alas, you may have been useless in life, but now no longer.

WGF 2015 – So It Begins
World Goth Fair is live and the gates to the cemetery have been thrown open. There is so much to buy and all of it wonderful. With so much choice it was hard to decide where to start, but I settled on a designer I was previously unaware of; Salt & Pepper. I love this outfit; it’s 2 separate pieces. So the skirt and the corset can be worn together or paired up with other things in your wardrobe. I really love when designers make outfits are separates. For me it gives even more live to their clothes.

GxG 2014 Gloomy Gothmas
Sometimes it can be a bit gloomy around the holidays, but some of us are always gloomy. With the advent of Gothmas by Gaslight we can get all our Christmas cheer in shades of black and grey. I love when it’s cold and the moon is bright. It’s the only kind of sunny day that I really enjoy.

Normally I wouldn’t devote a whole post to a single item in an event, but this is a very special case. Back on 2012 at the first World Goth Fair Axi Kurmin released a set of jewellery called My Poisonous Friend. The necklace in this set fast became my go to necklace and is by far my favourite piece of jewellery in SL. (I’d murder for a RL version) When I saw that she had designed a pair of companion shoes and was releasing them at GxG I squealed with delight. We’re talking real sounds here and a funny look of confusion from my husband.
These shoes are amazing and again I’d murder for a RL version. The ones on my toes are the GxG Exclusive red pair, but you can also get the non-exclusive version that has a colour hud and so many colour options. The shoes are for Slink High Feet, so you’ll be needing those if you haven’t got them already. Who’re we kidding though; you’ll buy the feet just for these shoes.

Gothmas by Gaslight 2014
It’s that time of year again and Gothmas by Gaslight has returned. The glorious dark Christmas shopping event will run from December 15th to January 3rd. I have seen some of the things being created for this and they are glorious. For now though I have just a little peek for you of the event build.
You can find the GxG blog HERE.
Bare Faced Lie
I’m sure most of you have seen the bloggers and SL photographers taking pictures of their avatars without any enhancements or make-up. I normally don’t do these challenges, but this one struck me as a real challenge. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I wear a white skin; I am a Goth after all. With this in mind it can be a real challenge to get the lighting right for photos in general, but taking a close shot with no make-up was a bit harder than usual.
I do think this turned out pretty well though. Took about 4 attempts with different lighting settings so that I wasn’t a ball of glare, but also still able to see my skin is white with details. Too soft a light and it’d just look like a pale skin; which it isn’t.

Victorian
I bought the arm warmers and then I bought the boots. Of course then I had to find something to wear them both with. Luckily ACS helped in that respect as I bought more Victorian inspired clothes in that event than I think I have in a very long time. Kita’s Sideshow has come to the rescue with this lovely skirt and top with its two tone black colour and all those wonderful ruffles. The blacks matched very well with both the boots and the arm warmers making it a sure match.
What do you think?

This is a late ACS post really but I couldn’t resist showing this awesome outfit off. I don’t often go in for full outfits and prefer to mix and match, but for once the whole deal made it for me. I’m sure she will have it up in the shop soon as ACS only ended a week ago. You could always poke her if you can’t wait.

Flying Solo – ACS2014
I haven’t made a full round of the event yet, but the moment I saw Syn’s offering on Flickr I made a bee-line for her stall. I love this jacket so much. I think I’ll hop on that ship and sail away to be a Pirate Captain. To hell with work, I want to pillage.

I’d like to point out that this picture was taken out front of the Malfean Visions shop. Lokii has again changed her store and surrounding space, but again it looks awesome. You should come have a wander around. (And give her all your money)

Seeing Death and Killing It – WGF 2014
When I saw its tentacles coming up through the group I knew Sium would be doomed if I didn’t take immediate action. So I seized the opportunity and hit my identity from it and took aim to kill.
Here are your LMs: Sium, Port Seraphine and Cursed. The WGF blog can be found HERE and there are lists if the merchants so you know what Sim they’re on.
So this is all to raise money for the Sophie Lancaster Foundation There will be a special DJ event running over 12 hours on the 22nd. The whole of the fair runs from May 15th to June 1st.

Should I?
Do I actually need more hair? I mean really, I have enough that I could wear a different hair every day and not repeat for many weeks.
Fuck it, who cares if I need it or not. I want it as much as I want anything.
So more hair it is.

Leave your life behind and find happiness elsewhere.

The Future is Looking Bleak…
..But at least I look great.
It’s all crumbling down around our ears. There is rioting and fighting in the streets and a girl has to defend herself. It’s times like these that you need to put fear instantly into anyone who sees you and a gun to back it up if they don’t run. I will take them down if they don’t run. Don’t let the short skirt fool you…it’s so I can run after you faster.

A Peak at the Futurewave Event Build
So, I do very very little official event blogging. I choose very carefully because I don’t have tons of time and I have no time for bullshit. Really it’s no surprise then that both of the events I’ve officially blogged have been Cursed Events. Last year I did the World Goth Fair and I’ve chosen to stick my toe into Futurewave on this time around. Futurewave is a little outside of my normal style, but I love several of the designers involved and others that I don’t know but look interesting.
It will surprise no one that Lokii has yet again done an amazingly wonderful build for the event. It is very fitting and very nicely done. I think people will like this one as much as her previous builds; I certainly think it’s fantastic.
The future will be open to everyone February 15th to 23rd. No slurl yet for you, but here’s a couple of pictures to tease you instead.
Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf
Since mesh came into the world of Second Life I seem to have gained a jewellery habit. House of Rain and Maxi Gossamer are my dealers of choice and for good reason. The necklace I’m wearing is HoR’s newest offering which can be found at the Enchantment event. I do love this necklace; it sits in just the right place and the red is perfect. This necklace is exclusive to Enchantment, so if you want it, then you’d best be getting down there.

Goth Wonder Woman
When I saw Sonya Marmurek post about these bracers, I knew that I had to have them. Of course, in a fit of silly I had the thought that with the black one, that made me Goth Wonder Woman. It made me laugh.

A Very Dark Gothmas
Gothmas by Gaslight is one of those events that I look forward to. With all this happiness and cheer, it’s nice to have a darker side to go shopping in. This year we got 2 lovely shopping locales to fill our dancing needs with. One is located on Cursed and you can get to it HERE. The other is located at Sium and you can get to it HERE.
I adore this year’s build done by Lokii and decorated by her and Axi. Every time she does a build I’m blown away and I think that she’s outdone herself. Then she does another build and I’m amazed again. Lokii is just made of awesome.
So the boots, dress, lipstick and necklace all came from GxG. Beautiful Freak has several bits of make-up on offer and I bought 2 of the lipsticks just because they fit perfectly. I have a hard time finding lipsticks that aren’t made for a forever puckering sex doll. I broke my No Gacha rule for the necklace from Malfean Visions. Luckily I got this one on my second try.

Autumn Cafe
I seem to be spending an awful lot of time in cafes at the moment. I think it’s because it is October which means lots of cold wind and hot drinks while the leaves fall. Whether in RL or in SL, Setpt/October is my favourite time of year. I love the cold and the wind and the leaves.
And everyone stops looking at me funny for wearing long sleeves and black.
