#491 Life is a mirror

...and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it - Ernest Holmes 

My top and capris are both from DE Designs, and available now at the Mesh Body Addicts Fair.  They fit like a dream on my Lara, and are great for lazy ZZ because with the click of a hud button you can switch between having the tank showing, or if you feel a bit more daring, leaving it off.  Although sold separately, the top and capris are an absolute perfect match.  Both come in an array of colours, and as always can be bought separately or in an extremely good value fat pack.

The pose in this first pic are for the Pose Hop event, which this month has the theme of Celebration.  The poses are on sale at the designer's mainstores, and you can find out more about the event here. The pose actually comes from a set for brides, but I played a little to make one work for me in this non-bridal post.  The pose below is from a set by Purple Poses.

All decor items behind me are all from Circa. I loved the frames so much I couldn't choose just one so I stuck em all up, and made a little bar area at home.  There are lots of other bits and bobs in the set and they are are all available at Swank.

If an item is for sale at an event, I give the slurl to that event.  However in case this blog post is read after the event has finished, I also include the slurl to the mainstore.  

All Slurls are current at time of posting.  If you are unable to find an item, or need help with anything I have blogged, feel free to send me an email, inworld IM or nc, or a plurk (all links on contacts page).

I wear a mesh body, head, hands & feet in all posts. I use alpha cuts where necessary, and if I can't get an item to work with my mesh body, I wwill neither wear it or blog it  Most items I blog fit various mesh body parts, and often classic avatar standing sizing and/or fitmesh. Please make sure to demo anything you see here that you are thinking of buying to be sure it works for you.

Today's post comes almost entirely from Horrorfest.   My headpiece is one of many stunning headpieces from GSpot.  From a distance it looks really pretty, but when you come closer you see all the snakes wrapping around it -  in my view, the snakes make it no less pretty, and definitely add character :).

The dress is by SAKIDE, and comes in black and this wine colour - you also get a collar, which I have not shown here, and two versions of the dress - the second does not have the lower skirt so becomes a mini dress.  The texturing is beautifully done, making the fabric look very rich.  

My pumps are from The Little Bat for Horrorfest.  The final Horrorfest goodie is the grave, complete with bats flying overhead - I am a bit jealous, I LOVE bats, and would prefer them to be flying round my rl head :).

My skin is a new group gift from Glam Affair which was released with perfect timing when I was struggling to find a skin for this shoot.  I rarely wear even remotely pale skins, but I have enjoyed wearing something different for my Horrorfest posts.  

As I have no appliers for this skin, I couldn't wear my SLink hands (hence no close ups) but thanks to Gidge on Plurk I found out about the SLink mesh nails which you can use with appliers, so that is what I have used, this time with the pointed nail option.
