Mr. X @ Dia De Los Muertos - irrISIStible @ Swank

It was shadowy and dripping wet in the forest this late in the day. No birds called. No animals rustled in the undergrowth. All I could hear was the steady dripping of rain on leaves and flowers. Do you smell it... that wonderful aroma of spring woods in the evening after a rainstorm, wet bark, pine needles, the subtle fragrance of pecan trees and dogwoods underscored by the musky fragrance of wet leaves.  In this outfit by irrISIStible , I feel like the Witch of Southern Nights...remembering all those that went before me on Dia De Los Muertos...the Mexican Holiday known as Day of the Dead.

I love the detail in this outfit called, Purple Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) that is an exclusive at this month's Swank. It is made for fit mesh bodies and also comes with easy to use appliers for belleza, slink and mairtreya mesh bodies. It comes with a special ivory based skin for classic, maitreya, belleza, slink, and has omega appliers as well. The skirt comes in two versions, long and short.

I love the fact that it comes with a marvelous headpiece and hair that really compliments it. Also included are a matching necklace, spine flowers, a collar, and arm bracelets that are so elegantly colorful and traditional at the same time.  This is a must-have outfit especially if you plan on celebrating the Day of the Dead in November!

Mr. X and Evanthe @ Swank & Jumo

Moonlight filtered between sheer curtains...a gust of wind blew around the cliffs, the smell of leaves and dogwood blossoms, cloves and cinnamon... do you remember?  Tonight, I dream heaven... especially in this new sexy outfit by LIZ called Evanthe that is this month's Swank exclusive.

I love the look of lace and silk skirt and the fabulous sequined crop top with a pattern that is so intricate and shiny.  Evanthe made for Slink, Maitreya and Belleza is just that. Best of all it comes in four color options -- I am feeling monochromatic and loved the black and white and silver look of this...so does Mr. X...

Mr. X told me I looked as though I was stepping out of a dream wearing this... and perhaps, I would prefer to step into his dream... or perhaps be part of yours... my faithful readers of the mysteries of Mr. X....

Also available - Pandora Thigh Boots - echoing the strappy design of the bodysuit, they are so sexy and provocative. Both the bodysuit and boots come with a 6 color HUD included, and gold and silver metals options. A daring choice for an empowered woman with a passion for the darker side of femininity!

Mr. X and Dreamless - Virtual Diva & new Jumo eye-make up

Mr. X... if only I could fly... and see you in my dreams... tonight, I am rather dreamless and missing you.  Without dreams, I woke to feel very black and white, two of my favorite colors to combine when thinking of fashion so I was just delighted to get the new mini by Virtual Diva called Dreamless.

Virtual Diva has justed released a classic mini dress with the most seductive side cutout called Dreamless Couture Dress in Mono.  This dress is for mesh bodies and fits my Maitreya Lara body perfectly.  I love the gorgeous sheen this dress has... and the way it glimmers.

I love the bold black and white geometric pattern.  It is large and lavish, a pattern that is popular on the RL runways as well as in SL.  In this sexy mini dress called Dreamless, they will sure to be dreaming of you!

So Mr. X let's dream of flying... and seeing the world beneath us... together flying we feel like we are set free... two ravens on the wind... if we could only fly... I know, we can in SL... and yes, it sets us free ... and I dream now of flying into your arms.

Mr. X Promise of Sanctuary -- Silvan Moon & Emo-tions

I  don't know how much more I can take it... hateful words...  tears and long nights alone... I cannot imagine how much worse it can get... and, then again I can... sometimes we feel at a crossroad and yet we plug on and will it not to ever happen... and, yet, I can feel it all around me. I love this gown by Silvan Moon called Promise of Sanctuary.

Perhaps, I  will be the lost princess  -- or a treasure to be found... it can go either way... and I know whatever way it goes, it will be wonderful... and -- always, I am a promise of sanctuary.  Can you hear the chants on the late summer breeze...  "come to me alone... dare the woods... take the step... fall into..."  And, then... the incense and perfume... smoke of Alladin's lamp... all here for you...

I adore this gown called Promise of Sanctuary by  Silvan Moon -- It is stately and elegant... and made for classic and mesh bodies. It is a must-have for a night when you look for a prince... or a frog... it is up to you...  in any case, you will feel royal -- and that is all good.

Mr. X and the Flow-- New Jumo and Emo-tions

Ten years, dead and living dim and draw apart.

I don’t try to remember,

But forgetting is hard.

Lonely grave a thousand miles off,

Cold thoughts, where can I talk them out?

Even if we met, you wouldn’t know me,

Dust on my face,

Hair like frost.

In a dream last night suddenly I was home.

By the window of the little room,

You were combing your hair and making up.You turned and looked, not speaking,

Only lines of tears coursing down.

Year after year will it break my heart?

The moonlit grave,

The stubby pines.

Mr. X & Wicca's Wardrobe... Isabella

It is almost September and, Mr. X you know what that means... school days... I can hear the bell ringing can't you...and, if not,  then just check me out in all of Wicca' Wardrobe's new Gottcha  Exclusives ...  and, no, Mr. X  -- My hair is in a knot... so no ink and pigtail action for you !!!

I love this look by Wicca's Wardrobe... there is so much to tell you about... let's start with the sweet as pie (she should have called it that!) mini skirt with a lace hemline ... oh my-- my... the boys are crazy about the lace! And, then, the cute school girl knee socks with lace and the  mary jane oh so innocent heels... men find this almost too good to be --- just think of me as a naughty school girl  -- winks!

Don't miss the fab necklace and lace collar in the rare gotcha... the jacket is as well... they are a must have to complete this evocatively sexy look ...

And, then there are things I won't tell you... like midnight @ the lighthouse -- how the clouds were stormy and the passionate waves were high as they thrashed against the rocks... the moon was full -- and the breeze was fragrant with the last of the summer roses that grow amid the dunes... where you and I  were as the fog rolls in... like your arms around me.
