Well, here it is, officially Halloween. Now the jack o lanterns will begin to rot, but all the other decor can carry over into the rest of the year in one way or another. I mean, there’s plenty of reasons to use the dark macabre stuff…depending on what styles you like. I personally love mixing the unexpected with the “norm” to create something surprising. Like a romantic dinner for two in an overgrown abandoned building. *grins*
So, with all the hubbub about Halloween and so many countries believing this is strictly a United States thing, I wanted to do a little digging into the history of it all. Turns out we can thank the Irish, the Canadians, and Hollywood for the whole idea of Trick or Treating that we all know today. Rather than trying to explain this all myself, I’ve attached a short five minute video that explains it far better than I can. Enjoy!!

I’ve been soo crazy busy lately that I’m just now getting around to blogging this adorable set from Hideki that you can grab at TLC for a few more days. It closes on the 10th, after that you’ll have to check his mainstore. This set is so cute and even my photo doesn’t do it justice. However, I couldn’t help but want to make a man cave that the girl took over….so here it is with lots of pink pieces from one of Bamse’s new sets to be found at the October round of Arcade. What better way to enjoy this room than relaxing in a comfy shirt from Vinyl, paired with some super cute sweats? A girl can watch just about any scary movie with her trusted pup beside her, right? And thanks to some pieces from Kraftwork’s new set (also at the Arcade), I was able to set the tone of horror movie night. So, I’m all about horror films in October…and honestly, I’m so obsessed with this scene, I just wanna crawl directly into it and cozy up for the night.

It’s my favorite time of the year, not only is my birthday on the 6th, but my favorite holiday is on the 31st. I realize its not a worldwide holiday and it must seem absolutely bonkers to areas that do not celebrate Halloween or Hallows Eve. However, I absolutely love all the cutesy pumpkins and ghosties. I also love the ghoulish things and all the scary movies! So, I present to you my first cute Halloween decor post. Naturally, if you remove all the Halloween stuff, you still have a lovely sitting area, but we’re not going to do that just yet…we still have 26 days to go!! *squeals*

Alright, I’m sure you’ve heard the hype about the newest body to hit the grid, REBORN by eBODY. I have been a diehard Legacy girl since I finally switched from Maitreya, about two years ago. I have also kept my shape on the petite size for many years. However, this new body has me seriously rethinking things. This body is fierce! And DAT ASS! I kid you not, the ass on this body is serious business. I’d personally like to make it a bit smaller, but this is as small as I could get it. While I’m not showing the back view (which is delicious), its fair to say the side view of this ass is just as important. It jutts out a teensy bit more than I’d like it to. However, its got me rethinking my entire shape as I look at my avatar from behind and seriously want to bite into my own ass! The skin I’m wearing works pretty well, but detailed places like feet, hands, nips and such, aren’t quite lined up properly cuz they weren’t made for this body. There’s not a ton of creators on board just yet, but some pretty big names have already starting creating clothes for it…such as Blueberry (shown here), Vinyl, Miss Chelsea, Vanilla Bae, Aleutia, and more….a great way to keep up is in this flickr group someone shared on FB: eBODY Reborn Shopping Guide Stay tuned, cuz I will be sharing more clothing on this body and I’m sure my shape will evolve as I continue to play with it.

Fresh laid concrete Melodies blowing Don’t care where we’re going But the day is wasting Just keep moving And take it all in The rumble of voices Are the bass to our song The horns are just on the beat Honkin’ along Let’s be the harmony But no note is wrong And let’s take the city And make it our song Our song Our song Let’s take the city And make it our song

Ever since I was a little girl, dragonflies have brought me comfort. I remember my friends were terrified by them. Their name alone does seem a bit ominous. However, I was always fascinated by them. Their beautiful quad wings and the iridescent sheen of their bodies almost hypnotized me. Of course, I also thought they were related to fairies. *laughs* The thing is that no matter how bad things were in my life, the moment I saw a dragonfly I felt like God was telling me that everything was going to be alright. While I no longer believe in God, I do very much believe that everything is going to be alright whenever I’m surprised by a dragonfly…whether a real one or not. To this day, they continue to bring me comfort. It’s probably the only insect to ever bring me comfort…lol.
