THE HAUNTED COAST

"Thou wast all that to me, love,
For which my soul did pine,
A green isle in the sea, love,
A fountain and a shrine,
All wreathed with fairy fruits and flowers,
And all the flowers were mine. ...

Ah, dream too bright to last!
Thou starry Hope that didst arise
But to be overcast!" ... [1]

Quoting these lines of morbid poetry, they say she went to walk, disregarding all protestations of the unsuitability of the weather. Indeed it was a dark and stormy night, but the sleety showering rain could not keep her within doors.

A tradesman saw her standing soaking wet at the cliffside as he hurried for the hostel gate. He merely shrugged. "Nutter" he muttered.


She never returned but they say she still walks the hostel halls.

p.s. Depending on my mood, sometimes I like Poe. Sometimes he just irritates me. I compare him to Austen, whose heroines collide with the tragedies in their lives without being defeated. Much more sensible.

ANTICIPATION

♪♪ An - ti - ci - pa - tion ... I guess we only have to wait until September 1 for the new Twisted Hunt !! The last one was fabulous. I'm getting in the mood, so here I am wearing DV8 gear and a couple of the gifts from the last Twisted Hunt. I took my pictures today at the Twisted Hunt HQ at the DV8 shop. (I have to admit that with the stripey curving trees, the display reminded me of Dr. Suess ... on drugs.)

Okay honestly I mostly included this first photo so you could see the tight shiny butt on these pants. After this pose I needed help to get up off the floor.

Mmm lots of buckles to make sure the top is snug.

Here I am mixing pieces from two different DV8 outfits. The female Geishurai outfit comes with a different top. Here I am wearing the shirt from what is supposed to be the male Praxis outfit.

The House of Creation Bone Ring is a keeper from the last Twisted Hunt.

Now this makeup reminds me of the movie Bladerunner. It is on sale at PixelDolls for a silly L$10 ... until she recovers sanity or retires it for good.

The Cyanide piercing is also from the last Twisted Hunt.

The katatOnik necklace is color change to match just about anything you want to wear. And don't you try to tell me that the katatOnik shop is not twisted ... I know better.
