ZsaZsa or Medusa?

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.

Skullies in the City

“The skull is nature's sculpture” -  David Bailey

Getting ready for Halloween, I have teamed up a fab pair of skully leather jeans from DRBC with a jacket and tank from Lapointe & Bastchild  along with a pair of their latest boot releases.

I know my jacket is eating my earring on the close up (and trust me, it will eat away at me till I can sort it out), but SL is not playing nice right now and won't let me take any close ups without jagged edges right now, so until I can get a non-jagged replacement the one above is there just to show the gorgeous Belleza Leila skin and IKON eyes from his new Perspective line.

Ruminations in Leather

Rumination:  The act of pondering; meditation.  The act or process of chewing cud

I love finding new things in sl - places to visit, great music venues, things to do, new people, and also new designers - so I am happy today to be featuring not one, but two "new to me" designers in this post. 

These great leather jeans are from DRBC - I love the zips and the crease detailing, which makes them look and feel very realistic - they are of course not real pixel leather, they are vegetarian faux pixel leather, or I couldn't wear them :). 

It always astounds me when I find a hair creator I have not come across before, as is the case with Rumina - the minute I tried this hair on I was in love with it - it is so "me",  Even better, it comes with a hud system which gives so many shade and streak options that I didn't even attempt to count (being mathematically challenged as I am).  Just take my word for it, you get lots.  This hair also comes with a flexi attachment which you can show/hide at will.  The hud also allows you to resize non rigged mesh hair, and delete scripts - and it even has a pose button.

Along with the "new to me" stuff here, I am wearing one of my oldies but wonderfulies (pfft to anyone who tries to tell me that isn't a word), my Lapointe & Bastchild Death Royale Beaded Halter, which I wear more times than I care to tell. My boots are also from Lapointe & Bastchild, but one of their newer releases.  Both halter and boots have L & B's great texture change hud systems (can you see a pattern forming here?).  For me it is always worth buying the fat packs of Lapointe & Bastchild items because their quality never falters - I have not once been disappointed with any of their items, be it leathers, denims, or footwear, so much so that they are one of the very few clothing brands where I (hangs head in shame) don't bother trying on demos.

The beautiful eyes I am wearing are the latest group gift from IKON, from the new Perspective range which is currently only available at The Boutique.  The nail appliers, which can't actually be seen clearly here, are from Hello Dave  and this palette gives a fab selection of really cute Halloween themes.  And finally, Maxi Gossamer's edgy silver and black leather accessories top the look off and the KaTink backdrop sets the scene perfectly.

Goodness, I have been a loquacious little ZsaZsa today haven't I.  I will attempt to curb my exuberance a little in my next post :).
