ALAS!

Alas! Earwax. However, the Ohmai Emporium's jellybeans are so inexpensive that you may try another flavour almost for free. This little Ravenclaw student is fully dressed and showing her school spirit, having purchased a pet specially dyed in her house colours.

Or you can wash away the taste with some really excellent chocolate.

BRUNETTE

It's no mystery that lately I've been drawn into shops to buy sweaters, furs, even a muff.

I feel so warm in this knitty mesh dress from Jane. I love the fit, it has a nice bum without getting the ridiculous bubble-butt I've been seeing on some skirts. I like the little detail where the sleeves push down over my hands just the way I like them in cold weather. And BRB's fur stole is just soft and huggable.

Fur Stole: BRB “Comfy Stole”
Dress: Jane “2nd Skin Dress Trio Purples” (mesh)

CAKE

After crashing out of Vintage Fair a few times, I quit trying to go there and went looking for other fun. Then it occurred to me, this is NOVEMBER! Which is my birthday month. So I decided to go looking for cake! Did you know that there is an island made of Cake? (Now you do.)

Any sim that is completely covered in frosting has my approval. After taking these pictures, I rolled around on the sticky beaches until I was unrecognizable ... whilst thinking deep philosophical thoughts about this virtual heaven. Last week I forgot I was passing my fourth rez day, but I've been blogging for about three years.

That's a big deal to me.

(Evie's little fairy outfit includes a hat, socks and flat shoes that I didn't wear cause, honestly! Of course I would rather be barefoot. I modified the sock tops to wear around my ankles.)

Outfit: Evie’s Closet “Tiny Eden Fall 2011 Edition”
Hair: booN “XFE275”
Skin: Curio “:GP: Acorn [Light] The Visitor – Probe 1”

THE DEVIL IN A NICE BLUE SUIT

I found this pretty blue suit in my mailbox and tried it on, and this song started going through my head:

She's the devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on

And I thought, it's a Suit, not a dress, but I figured that's okay, cause if the devil had a day job, she'd probably be a lawyer. She is here with her briefcase to negotiate a contract for your soul, if you're dumb enough to answer when she knocks at your door.

The blue suit has purple trim, so that gave me a great excuse to buy a pair of purple boots. Like I need an excuse.

TWILIGHT IN AUTUMN

It's shameful how many lovely things sit in my closet unused, so I am wearing some old favorites along with the new bits.

The Aoharu turtleneck is not new but the simple narrow neck is perfect for layering under other collars and scarves. The Ingenue belt a gem. And the jewels by Alchemy Immortalis. Carefully crafted classics, that still compare beautifully with current art.

And the new: I love the graduated color on the Riddle skirt, and the sporty Mon Tissu hat. But the irresistable piece here is the skin. The new "Visitor" skins from Curio are amazing. There are several makeups that vary from almost-normal to unmistakably alien, including a set with otherworldly eyes and extra lipsticks. The face is unusually smooth and hairless, with small faintly pursed lips. (I added some eyebrows taken from an unwitting human donor.) I was severely tempted to give in and buy the megamultipak with like a zillion skintones, makeups and eyes, but ... :) darned budget.

Hat: Mon Tissu “Feather Wrapped Fedora” (texture change hatband)
Scarf: Miel “Fringe Scarf – leafy”
Shirt: Aoharu “TurtleNeckKnit_Nude”

LOS MUERTOS REVUELVEN

Today the Day of the Dead Celebrations end and with them my last excuse to deck myself in black and orange and skulls. Not that I need any excuse if I'm ever in the mood for indulging the dark and gothy. I headed over to the Peatonville Asylum to explore its dark corners, suitably adorned with several memento-mori ornaments.

The mental asylum creeps me out ... complete with an interactive puzzle hunt, gore, cobwebs, creepy music and a quality build that begs to be photographed.

Don't get lost.
