Autumn Thanks... Aphrodite @ Heart Homes & Ghee & Jumo

My friend Alexa invited me over to chit chat... a casual dinner setting... by Aphrodite @ Heart Homes called Harvest Dining Set at Tres Chic --- both of us blog for this fantastic furniture, decor and accessory creator and we always have fun collaborating -- especially since the products created by Heart Homes are so interactive.  I also have the perfect fall frock to wear by Ghee called Ditsy Floral Romper and Print Jewellery Scarf it is an exclusive at the Boho Fair. I have also added a link to Alexa's blog on this set... she really set up a gorgeous set for this party of ours.

I love everything about this jumper with its adorable out sides, handkerchief hemline and sweater top. Ditsy Floral Romper is made for all mesh bodies including belleza, maitreya and slink. I have paired this with the new matching boots by Ghee called Essential Fall 2017 over the knee suede boots. They come made exclusively for belleza, slink and maitreya mesh feet with a matching eight color hud that matches the tones perfectly.



One of my favorite elements of this boho chic outfit, sold separately  is the jeweled scarf with beads and a tassel. You can change the hud to mix and match the scarf with the skirt of the jumper's adorable flower print that is so indicative of  70's flower power!  I have also paired this look with the sassy new hair by Jumo called Khloe.  I love the updo buns and the way strands of hair whisp around my face.  The hair comes in many colors and options with and without roots as well as ombre, vivid or a favorites optional package.

Somehow... when the leaves of autumn fall... and they have been... I think of  being thankful for life, health, my good friends in SL and RL... and, of course for Mr. X.  I love this low prim table by Aphrodite @ Heart Homes, it is so festive for the season with squash candles, wooden placemats and maple leaf plates. The table is large and interactive and perfect for having good friends over for a convivial time. I am also thankful for this fab plate of tapas in front of me.... YUM!


This table is so welcoming -- it is constructed of a great pine slab rustically elegant...  with lace ...  and wooden placemats with reed plate holders -- the plates are made of the finest pottery.  I am always in awe of Heart Home's attention to detail.... it always makes  guests feel welcome.

It makes me want to say come on over and please come and join us... and, really this is what every table makes me want to say... because when we  dine together, the bond of friendship and community deepens (unless it is Thanksgiving with relatives you can't stand, then it becomes amusing!!!!). And, this table delivers as you and your guest have drink choices as well as a full interactive menu choices to choose from... there is no way you are leaving hungry!

Mr. X and the Autumn Angel... Giulia Design and Jumo

Autumn's fire colors is what this fabulous gown reminds me of by Giulia Design called Grimilde and Jumo's new Sheba eyeliners are perfect for an evening filled with the fire colors of the season!  I love the flowered bra top with the sparkling diamond spider ... and those spiders that cascade down my stomach... there is something so sexy about that --- this is what Mr. X tells me... and he is always right!



The eyeliners called Sheba by Jumo come in six colors.... they glimmer and glisten and are oh so exotic... you will be seeing more of these... I love them! The eyeliners are made for classic avatar heads as well as for catwa and letuka mesh heads. I also adore the exotic neckline of Grimilde that is indeed fit for the Queen of Sheba!


Grimilde is made for mesh bodies and comes in five sizes.  It also comes with a fabulous horned headdress that is jeweled beautiful made as well as wings...  wear both so the boys won't know if you are naughty or nice... I like to keep them guessing, don't you?   Grimilde also comes in black.

A Trio of Finds @ Legendaire & Emo-tions

I love being from a small beautiful, cultured city... who doesn't like that... a place where there are a lot of choices and lots of wide open space... pretty lanes to wander down... terrific restaurants and great places to shop like Legendaire.  Check out Ellen... it is sophisticated and sexy at the same time.

Ellen is made for mesh bodies and comes with high high heels for mesh feet. Ellen has a fabulous color changing hud for the tie-up midriff top and crop pants with it's fancy gold studs at the waistline and matching gold heels. The hud offers eight choices for just about every mood from florals to solids. I decided to pair this outfit with the new Agatha lace up heels that are sold separately to complete this lace up look. The Agatha heels come with a hud of ten colors.

 I have paired this with the new hair by Emo-tions called Rona that is an exclusive @ Hairology. It is unisex and looks great on both men and women.  It has appliers for catwa and letluka mesh heads and comes in a large variety of huds. I love the sweep of these braids and the way it flows... so tribal chic.

Another offering by Legendaire is Sydney made for slink, maitreya and belleza mesh bodies.  The mini skit is just right with great detail that includes a big gold belt buckle and a color changing hud featuring four solid colors.


The top for Sidney is so darn cute!  I love the way this cute V neck crop top ties around my waist. The top has a four color changing hud that offers two patterns and two solid colors.  It is so much fun to wear. Sidney also comes with great shoes made for slink, maitreya and belleza mesh feet -- wow these great shoes have a ten color changing hud so you can wear them with lots of stuff!

Spooktacular Finds @ Swank .:(CW):. and BPd/EEc

Dark and eerie... a haunted meadow... where skeletons lie-- pale and unsound... they roam this haunted place...zombies come unbidden... wandering in the endless night of their memories... and here I am -- lost in the middle.... wondering which way to go.... the cries of a cat echos.... in the trees. This new stage set called Blair Witchcraft Halloween Stage by .:(CW):. is great and so is the gown by BPd/EEc  also at Swank.

I have gone out, a possessed witch----haunting the black air, braver at night;  dreaming evil, wandering with the spirits... I am a lonely witch in this haunted meadow with my cauldron bubbling and my sister flying over head... a  woman like that is not a woman, quite.  I have been her kind.

This fabulous haunted halloween meadow called Blair Witchcraft Halloween Stage is an exclusive by .:(CW):. and comes loaded with all sorts of spooktacular items from flying witches to zombies, rabid dogs, skeleton trees piles of bones and black crows circling, this is a must have for Halloween fun.  It is an exclusive at this month's swank. It comes with an easy rezz box and is totally enclosed setting a frightfully delicious scene!


I am wearing another Swank exclusive by BPd/EEc called Eternal carnivale that evokes a  19th century stroll in NOLA.  This is a fabulous Victorian styled steampunk gothic gown replete with a bustle and flowers at my side, black of course. This gown is made for slink, belleza and maitreya mesh bodies.  I love the detail of the net dot lace overlay on the gown and the floral swirls mixed with stripes on the bodice and the way they fan out on the bustle.  The long sleeves have leather armbands and are so cool and unusual.


Eternal carnivale  also comes with a beautiful gothic necklace made of the finest black onyx and long drop earrings that glisten in the moonlight. The hat literally tops this outfit off with it's skulls, flowers and lace... making it the perfect finish to  haunt the night in.

Each part of this outfit is sold exclusively at FAD -- boots are fabulous - maitreya, slink and belleza mesh feet... gloves bento and  slink.  I am making my way to that  gypsy for my love potion... She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign ---- She said "What you need is love potion number nine"   The hud has 10 colors and  all mix and match -- get it all is my advice it is  so  different and comfy and take the wrap  shirt off and you get a sexy sweater dress... with a  hud....    
The hair is  gorgeous  new  by Emotions  called  Arizona it is  Boho Chic and tribal all at the same time... the flowing feathers of  Native  American Birds and Peacock  tell me that i am  powerfully boho, the silver band  around my forehead will lead Mr. X and I to  worship the  stars... or me...  get it at Boho.
So Mr. X....  let's go see that  Gypsy and have some fun... and drink some love potion # 9  -- and then... more love potion #9.....

Mr. X and a Hex by [Zex] @ Swank

When the days grow short and the nights grow long in autumn I love watching the trees turn from green to red, gold and orange... misty mornings, berries, patches of pumpkins and bales of hay...oh the lure of October.... and oh this alluring outfit by  [Zex]  called Gomory that is an exclusive @ Swank that is sure to bring out your darkest desires!!!


Made for mesh bodies, Gomory  has a sexy mini skirt, thong panties, and a very sexy bandage crop top.  It is perfect for watching ghostly shadows creep slowly by... as candlelights flickers making you wonder if witches roam the night...
Gomory  also comes loaded with accessories such as the fabulous horns and the wrist cuff.  I love the bejeweled details in these horns that studded with silver and have chains with silver gems hanging from their ends. Certainly in this outfit you will be ready to roam any night of fright!

Somehow to make this even more other worldly and exotic I decided to wear Violator, now only available on MP. I am wearing Chatelaine - the collar, headpiece, veil chest... after all who doesn't like forbidden things... this time of year....

Mr. X and the Garden Gate @ Swank- CJ Creations and Wild

What strange spirit lead them to this gothic garden gate... they knew not... back, back into the long dead past they wander... endlessly...he could see her graceful approach to meet him...he repeated her name silently, willing her to come... once again to him...You can find this fab Arbor Gate by CJ Creations with Gothic peeps at Swank thru Oct. 31.

He half believed that at this dark hour under the silver moonlight if he went to the garden arbor that he should see her again under the slumbering roses, parasol in her hand... there is no doubt that the lady of the garden has put him under her spell...These lovely figures and the garden arbor, whose flowers change colors are an exclusive at Swank by CJ Creations called CJ Aura Gothic Archway.  These two are certain to spice up any Halloween Garden party with their elegant Victorian Gothic look!


Speaking of spicing it up... I love this new dress by Wild called Creepy Girl. It is made for classic bodies for you ladies that are not mesh and for those that are, this dress is also available in mesh (belleza, slink, maitreya and fit).  Creepy Girl comes with an amazing color changing hud with 12 textures... all more creepy than the next and so very festive for this time of year!


The garden pedestals are also by CJ Creations and come in a set of three.  They are  highly detailed and low prim and oh so gothically decorative. They are not linked and you can copy them making it really easy to landscape with them.


Shall I wait for him by the garden gate...I wait in the dusky light... straining for the first sound of his footsteps. Noiselessly as a penumbra of the moon he entered the garden, pale as pearl... Mr. X said there you are... aas always, softly radiant and your eyes, mysterious and unearthly from which the soup looks out...

Mr. X and the Union of Souls...!!SMD!!

Did you know that we are witches -- that know the power of enchantment?  I parade down the stairs and my sister   brews... her... stew or is she  stewing..... (you never know with sisters, if you know what I mean).   She calls to me... do you really think you are a princess?  I think that you are a red headed.... spawn....of Lucifer.... and she laughs her laugh that echoes through the webs and wakes the spiders...

We are not  pink nor pale  we are  almost perfect said one witch to the other...she has more than she needs -- the bird--- he tweets and sings like  a raven... the spiders spin and the cat prowls... we are good witches that conjure our spells as the night covers us in its deep indigo splendor with the light of the stars so bright that it spills through the upper window.
Sister shall we  boil him or eat him alive or let him-- fly free -- so many  choices  but my witch sister is of the water and the stream of light and of dreams...  she stirs her pot and is always true to her word...a good witch for those whose hearts can stand the heat...I  watch my sister she is contemplating  choices....a dash of nutmeg perhaps...


 Whether it is fate  or lust... the knowledge enlightens, and we will know what to do... because, we see through you and we know what and who you are...  If I  were  Pygmalion or  God...  Mr. X says....  I will  brew you always exactly as the  double trouble  that you both are!

Mr. X and Carmen, The Opera .... *NEW* JUMO - Skin, Shape, Lips & Eyes- Carmen & Gown

Oh, the romance of Carmen... Mr. X... set in Seville around 1830... a Spanish gypsy and her love...I love this new shape and skin and eye and lip make-up by Jumo, not to mention the fabulous gown I am wearing called... Pollux Gown, the shape, skin, eyes, lips, skin and hair... all  Jumo... and wow new skin Carmen... fabulous! For classic and mesh bodies and for Letuka and Catwa Mesh Heads!

 Carmen is a Spanish gypsy girl who is working in a factory when the story opens. She sees the soldier Don José one lunchtime and decides to make him fall in love with her even though he already has a girlfriend. At first, he isn’t interested, but Carmen has a way with her and soon she captures his heart. This gown comes with a  huge color change hud that changes the textures from sexy lace to solid and the colors - even ombre. It also includes a fur wrap and long and short earrings.

Don José deserts the army and leaves his girlfriend Micaela to be with Carmen, but Carmen soon gets tired of him and instead takes up with Escamillo, the hunky bullfighter who she thinks is much more glamorous than Don José. José is desperately unhappy at this and tries very hard to persuade Carmen to come back to him. She refuses and instead goes to watch Escamillo in a major bullfight.
José waits for Carmen outside the ring and gives her one last chance to come back to him, but she only laughs at him. Then José says that if he can’t have her, no one will. He takes out a knife and stabs her. Carmen dies as José is arrested and led away, while inside the ring the crowd cheers as Escamillo wins the bullfight.


That’s love is sung by Carmen when she first appears on stage. The words tell the audience about her character, that she is fickle and faithless and just out for what she can get. Carmen is one of the most popular and famous operas in the world. It is performed many times each year. If you are able to listen to it, you will probably find that you already know several of the tunes because they are played so often.
Love the skin and eye makeup and lips that goes with the new Carmen Skin Package that comes in many shades for classic, and mesh bodies and also for Catwa and Letuka Mesh Heads (worn) and it also comes with a special  oh wow sexy Carmen shape, also worn.

Mr. X and Los Dias de los Muertos - *New* Wicca's Wardrobe

Los Dias de los Muertos -- the Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico, Latin America and  the United States on Nov. 1.  It is a time when people gather to remember friends and family members that have died. Whether you celebrate Halloween, All Saints Day or Day of the Dead, this dance of death is a reminder that every one of us faces the same fate.  And,  as I say, live it up while you can... and I am in this new outfit by Wicca's Wardrobe called Catrina that is an exclusive at @ The Dark Style Fair...and I am ready to  party!


I love the fact that Catrina comes loaded with a dress and coat - you can wear one or the other or both they are separate.  The hud is amazing and consists of eight colors: black, blue, deep red, gold, green, purple, red and white.  The hud also has eight gems for the interior of the buttons and  three metal options - gold, silver and black... WOW!

Wearing the hud  options  you can mix and match the colors for the  coat, dress, vest, ruffles and pinstripes on the coat and sleeves. You change the color of the buttons and the gems inset in the buttons themselves! Catrina is made for maitreya and slink mesh bodies. I didn't have to change a thing when I wore it with my Maitreya body... Mr. X likes that... a quick look and so many variations... so do I!  Wicca's Wardrobe is so easy to wear, and fun.


Soon will be The Day of the Dead
Nobody in the class will survive
If they don’t think with their head
Looking for a way to stay alive.
We love to eat lots of beans
But if you want false superstitions
You better celebrate Halloween.
 **  From Mexican Poet not sita!
