Ladies & Gentlemen, Children of all Ages! Welcome to the Freak Show!

{These Photos Taken at Karneval Der Toten}

Before I go into the badassery I am wearing, lemme share my little adventure. I had ONE picture in mind for this outfit, that's all. So I was in search for the aerial hoop by Catnip....but Catnip is closed in world! *le sob* So I was looking all over the marketplace, went through it a few times because I was sure I had just looked over it or something but...NOTHING! And so I had finally let go of the search and was going to go with my last resort, a trapeze. But I took a chance and teleported to one last carnival themed sim and low and behold, right before my eyes in the perfect bloodied tent was the exact hoop I was in search of all morning!! I did a lil jig in my chair in celebration. Thanks so much to Cin, Trent & Krys for being super inviting, friendly and making a awesomely demented little sim to play in. I see many more blog pics being taken here! Make sure to pop in and pay them a visit! (Slurl linked right under my pics)

It's obvious my photos were strongly influenced by the upcoming American Horror Story: Freak Show which airs tomorrow! I'm SO excited! I have to be thankful right off the bat to my good friends Dizzy and Anika. They were taking no arguments and forced me to catch up with them, as Coven was already at its end by the time I got into this show. Let me tell you...if you're like me, and didn't get into it after the first episode of season 1...try it again. Force yourself to make it through at least the first 3-4 episodes and then give your opinion. The show is amazing! I'm so excited for what lies in store for us this season. I expect only the best!

I am wearing amazingness from head to toe. Everything I have on is snag worthy to the utmost level! My top hat is by Swagga and a piece of art is what it is. It comes with a HUD so can be this shade of black, white or brown. Corset by my hearts fav, DRBC and many more of these corsets in a multitude of prints are available at Suicide Dollz right now! The collar is by FK! Designs and was a perfect addition for my freakyness with its Cthulhu emblem. The skin was basically a freebie! I say basically because it's a group gift and the group wasn't free but is NOT expensive. It came with appliers and was perfect for my creepy lil heart. I will be using it again soon that's for sure. 

Okay okay...I have tons to show you with Vintage & Cool around the corner and yep, I'm blogging it!

See you soon and make sure to attend the Freak Show tomorrow!

"Intersection of Technology and Romance..."

Oh, my dearest apologies for not being here to post the 64510449 ideas that have been haunting my mind! Surprisingly enough, bloggers need breaks too. I had a fantasmical week enjoying my RL, that's a good thing. It's like a restart button, also allows for ideas to flow more freely and start fresh. It so breaks my heart to see my fellow bloggers burn themselves out and I don't want to do that to myself either. So thank you all sooo much for being understanding and patient. And....never feel bad about taking breaks from SL. I think too many of us put too much into a virtual life and not enough into our real lives...before you know it, people will exit, people will quit waiting and you won't realize it till it's way too late. SL will always be there, and your true friends in SL will always be understanding. So on to the wardrobe!

Steampunk lifestyle/fashion is just another layer of what makes up me! It is something I have loved since I was a young girl, reading so many novels that touched on it....still, I wasn't quite sure how to explain that part of me to people.

I found a quote that worded it perfectly, “To some, ‘steampunk’ is a catchall term, a concept in search of a visual identity. To me, it’s essentially the intersection of technology and romance. – Jake von Slatt. 

Eudora released some amazing things recently, letting me show off my love for all things Steampunk. Boots and ANOTHER hat...because they did release a hat before but this one is more bomber friendly. I pulled out some of my Steampunk favs from the inventory and came up with this mash-up of greatness! 

Don't worry, I will be back soon....because there seriously have been so many blog ideas poking and prodding at me during my break.

Now head over to all the places and get your Steampunk on!
