Lead us not into temptation and Mr. X & Aphrodite Homes

It seems that every year Mr. X and I have the same conversation about Halloween... I just love it!  And, on SL it is even more fun to dress up and decorate because designers imaginations here seem to be limitless in creativity.  Take October Bouvier from  October's 4Seasons ... her new skin Angelina is called "Milk" and, they say, it is always good for you... just like...well... milk!

And, then there are the amazingly fun items from Aphrodite at Heart Homes.... like this..... "Witches Candle Holder"  I am totally enthralled.....and as always, oh la la .... into temptation.....

There are so many  goodies-- tricks and treats that  Aphrodite at Heart Homes has created for our entertainment.......

Aphrodite for Heart Homes creates some of  the best spooky furniture on the planet like my all time favorite, the Bloody Mary Dining Room Set that comes with 6 low prim chairs with "horror" animations and a table that serves up a full menu of food and drink from cute to creepy!

A new find from Heart Homes is the Black Rose Couple Gothic Living Room Set that comes with a low prim couch and two wing back chairs with tons of couples and singles animations plus an elegant coffee table all have fine details like matching accent pillows and graceful french legs and arms on the furniture. 

Atmospheric photos, a vase and working coffee set add to the fun.  And, perhaps I learn something from the Black Rose... a way to entice or.... mmmmm hmmm as Mr. X would say.... 

I love dollhouses of all kinds... and the "Haunted Toy House" is full of fun surprises...with one touch the lights flicker, ghosts emerge and pumpkins and skulls chase one another.... and yes, there are bats too!  Note my boots... Eshi Otawara -- I love them and her.... 

Oh and one more thing.... if there is anyone you want to send to "hell" ..... need I say more ?  Other than I  wear Violator -- steam punk  and fabulous.... i almost feel like devil wears... Violator!

ooops there he or she or it.... goes...... straight to....and yes, Mr. X knows where I am...

Mr. X in the Mist ---- Violator's Swan..

It is your dharma Mr. X... no apologies here. Late morning in the mystic grove --- the mist finds you deep in the wetlands and you look for her... again.   The Black Swan by Violator.

A classic of swirling tentacles that entice and beguile... you love the way they touch you... lightly... a soft touch ----  skin to skin.... beckoning you to follow....

The intricate patterns and textures of this non mesh haute couture gown is as fresh and amazing as the day it was first made.... it creates a sensation that defies imagination... but this is no surprise... Soraya  is simply brilliant.

Let's not forget the always brilliant Eshi Otawara with the red bindi and black necklace and Morphine Skins by Ydreece Forster  for the best white skin on the grid!

Mr. X is energized by the sun that is slowly emerging from the mist... he tells me I have lit up something inside him that has been dark for too long......... P.S. isn't the back of this dress gorgeous!

High Impact & Mr. X - new release Silken Moon

Wandering around Lea 18 has inspired me to surprise Mr. X with a bold high impact look...

And, what better to wear for this than the amazingly avant garde new release  called Chonophilia by Silken Moon.

White as the moon on a winter night Chonophilia gleams with points and tentacles giving this look an otherworldly feel that is just so cool!

The best part of this look is you dress it up or down so to speak as it is extremely versatile and well made. 

Perhaps I shall wait in hiding amid the "Insidious Ideas" of Lea 18 for Mr. X... looking almost like an assassin on a mission...

Or an angel heralding a new dawn.

Oh What a Mesh... Photo Studio that is & group gifts

Throw out all your photo studio's a new version of the Mesh Studio by Sparkie Harland has arrived... and it is a dream come true because it does just about everything imaginable and more.

Best of all you can add your own ao's and textures (full perm only). What makes this studio unique is that you can organize textures and ao's within the panel and on a hud. You can move and stretch textures with the touch of an arrow for the perfect shot.  You can also rezz a prop that allows you to enhance your photos with the touch of a few buttons.  This studio is easy to use and comes with helpful note cards that make things crystal clear!

The poses options are amazing because you can scroll through them or choose a 5 second cycle. This studio then allows you to move the avatar around using the directional arrows in the big red circle in any direction and also 360 rotate. You can auto rotate using the buttons under auto scroll.  You can also add one more avatar to this studio and manipulate the poses to create new poses together.

A series of particle effects come with this studio that add atmosphere. In addition the studio has directional and ambient lighting built into the studio that offers a choice of lighting colors, radius and rotation. If you have favorite lighting settings you can also load them into the studio as a preset.  The facebook button, instagram, flickr and photo edit takes you to websites via a drop menu making uploading your favorite shots easy. As  you can see from the photo below, there are tons of fabulous options that this studio offers... this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Another May gift... by ghee is called the Candy Dot Dress.  This cute spring shift is light and breezy.  I love the combination of chartreuse and powder pink... they evoke the feeling of spring.

This gift also comes with cute chartreuse pumps and a bag...perfect for shopping... one of Mr. X's favorite activities.... he is such a dandy sometimes!

New Skin and New Sweater - Mr. X and the Drow

 Mr. X left a new skin for me by 7 Deadly s[K]ins called “Drow” with a note…'My darling princess find your way to the palace…look for the treasure….in the heart of the underdark caverns…”

This obsidian skin is beautifully made with luscious lips and the cutest freckles ever.  I have combined this skin with Eshi Otawara’s face jewels and pale jewel eyes called Shakti.  

Styles By Danielle is offering a lovely non-mesh sweater called Freesa Jumper with bell sleeves and a turtleneck.  You can wear it with the short sweater or just as a turtleneck. Two versions tucked and untucked are included. 

Freesa by Styles By Danielle pairs well with leggings or jeans for a casual look as well as armored pants and boots by Unzipped for those that love fantasy and role-play.

Dark as night…living in the underdark …I dream of a beautiful palace…located deep in the heart of the forest where primeval dreams live and spirits play.
