THE ECLECTIC TIME TRAVELLER

A little modern, a little Victorian, a little Kawaii, a little Steampunk. An unusual combination. Therefore, possibly a Time Traveller. Do you see an unused phone booth near in an odd location?



Of course a Tardis doesn't have to look like a phone booth. And maybe the Kitten is the real Traveller. It's hard to tell.

DANSE MACABRE

I have purchased a few other spooky goodies at Horrorfest, but I also wanted to show some love to the gacha and hunt side of the event. Even if you are on a tight budget, you should go drop a few coins in the gacha and the 1L hunt. For example, Contraption made this creepy crown. If you didn't look at it closely you may not have noticed that the arrows go INTO my head. It also includes a bloody head tattoo that I am not wearing here, because it interfered with the clown makeup.



Mia Snow's clown makeup is a college course in creepy. Is it just me, or are clowns one of the ickiest inventions ever? The cosmetic package includes several other versions.



Crown: Contraption "Pseudo Cogitatione Crown" (Horrorfest Hunt prize)
Makeup: MiaSnow "Bloody Clown Makeup" (Horrorfest Hunt prize)
Tights: fri.day "the Birds Stockings" (Horrorfest Hunt prize)
Necklaces: Adore and Abhor "Drippy Necklaces" (gacha)
Gown: Evie's Closet "Tiny Fable"
Ballet Slippers: Etoile "Ballet Shoes" (at L"Emporio di Bru)
Gloves: 803 "latex examination gloves bloody" (oldie)
Eyes: Rue "Lotus Eater" (Horrorfest Hunt prize)
Hair: Lamb "Oleander"

THE HOUSE OF DESPOND

I figured, if I'm going to spend a ridiculous amount of time decorating my little place for Halloween, I might as well take some pictures and blog it, right? ...

THE MAD HUNTER

I went on the Steam Hunt the other day and I'm still unpacking the prizes, but I thought I would show you one of my favorites so far. The hunt is on the theme of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and Cedar Bay Furnishings has thoughtlfully provided us with a replica of Captain Nemo's Pipe Organ. It is said that Captain Nemo's face sometimes appears in the mirror if you sit and play Bach.

I am wearing a mask and devilish backpack from a gruesome new shop called Contraption. The shop specializes in disturbing and macabre accessories and a bit of clothing too. They have several lucky chairs so you can try out some of their styles.

Sturdy but dashing two-tone boots from Lassitude and Ennui, suitable for a long hike across parallel dimensions ...

And, some macabre jewels I picked up at this month's Flux event. This month their theme is taxidermy *eww* (You can see the details better if you click on the photos and look at the larger versions).

I'll try to show you more from the Steam Hunt in between all the coming coverage for the Fashion for Life Fair! *waves madly*

Organ: by Cedar Bay Furnishings (Steam Hunt)
Mask: Contraption "The Three Eyed"
Backpack: Contraption "Devil's Tail"
Uniform: Node "Modulor Renpou Uniform" (mesh)(in-store gift)
