Mr. X and Maven - Purplemoon @ Swank and Image Photography New Release

Sometimes... sweetness and nice wrestles with demons in the dark.  We all have them right?  And, usually we win.  And then, sometimes, there are those nights, when the wind blows the  wrong way and we toss and turn... and turn yet again... you know what I mean? Sometimes you just want to sail away from it all...   I confide always to my demons...  it's ok, I think to do that.

And, I found the most perfect  dress for confession -- by Purple Moon @ Swank called Maven.  It comes loaded with a color changing hud and is made for  classic and mesh bodies... I am wearing Lara Maitreya. I love the details that Purple Moon always adds, the snakeskin belt (color changing hud),  sleek mini dress with the frilly feminine skirt and the biker jacket replete with trim... this is a must have and can be worn in so many ways and so many colors.

I am also using the new  light  system by Image photography... it is amazing and comes with  a hud that does so much.. more on that in next  blog but it is fantastic and does things that no other  portable hud  does... and... more....

Mr. X and Autumn- Hot Fuss @ Swank plus new Ghee

The late winds of autumn are blowing...The new mini skirt and tub top called "Autumn" by Hot Fuss is an exclusive at Swank in November. It offers a cute movie star hip look with a tight brown suede skirt and a sexy silk tube top in creme.

I love this tube top that is tailored for comfort and fit!  This stretchy bandeau/tube top is embellished with a lovely autumn scene making it a stand out.  The Autumn Mini and Tube Top can be worn with classic and mesh bodies.

These new spike heeled boots have just been released by Ghee and are fabulous!  These Thigh Boots can be worn with jeans -they come with a jeans option. Or, they can be worn separately as I have done.  I loved the way they looked with this mini skirt by Hot Fuss... and  Mr. X loves the way they show off my long legs!  The boots come loaded with appliers for all mesh options.

Mr. X and Roberta Red - Styles By Danielle

Every once in awhile a gown is made that will become a favorite -- because it is perfect for any situation from a royal ball to a courtly dance... Styles by Danielle's  new gown called Roberta Red  is one of those gowns. It is sleek and elegant and sexy all at the same time!

The skirt is elegantly textured in layers of gorgeous lace with a delicate floral pattern on the texture that is lovely and well done.  The wide black belt at the waist  with  the rose embellishment defines this classic ball gown and gives it dimension and allure.

Mr.  X I am  waiting for you and the champagne...  the ballroom is smoke  filled and  the jazz is hot.... just like me in this new  gown by  Styles by Danielle... that is nominated for Best Women's Formal in the  2016 Avi Choice for Designers...

Mr. X can't you just picture us gliding to  an amazing dance in a swank NYC club... on the upper east side...

Mr. X and the Starlet @ Swank - New Jumo + new lipstick & shadow!

I see stars in his eyes... when Mr. X looks at me... and with that in mind, I picked up the new release by Jumo called Starlet.  It is ultra glamorous with its lavish sequined pattern on lush silk in a beautiful  blend of raspberry.  I am wearing Starlet in Bellflower.

Starlet also comes in three other color patterns: black, tomato, emerald and mykonos.  All are gorgeous.  The dress is a rigged mesh dress with an alpha layer in standard sizes. You can wear it with or without the flexi prim skirt of stars.

As with all of Jumo's marvelous designs, Starlet doesn't disappoint as the straps and back are studded with silver stars!  The gown is as beautiful from the back as it is from the  front.  In addition, Starlett comes with diamond studded star earrings and a beautiful headpiece.

I am also wearing Jumo's new Royal Lipstick and Hyper Glitter eyeshadow.  This makeup is for Catwa, TMP and Lelutka heads as well as for standard classic heads.  Each package comes in six shades.

Mr. X and the River.... Ghee @ Boho Fair

I just love this look... it reminds me of a warm summer walk amid a flower strewn meadow... I can hear the scamper of squirrels as i watch  flowers sway in the summer breeze... it is days like this that i  feel boho chic and nothing is more boho chic than Ghee's Frilled River Sweater and Etta Boots that are an exclusive at the Boho Fair through Nov. 5.

I love the cotton texture of this oversized sweater that is embellished with lace making it sexy and feminine at the same time. Ghee is so good at doing that.  I also love the fishnet stockings that comes with this...they set the Etta Boots off perfectly.

The Boho Frilled Sweater comes in several colors, I loved the river.  It is also made for classic, belleza, maitreya (worn) bodies. Don't forget to pick up the necklace at Ghee -- it is the Boho Free Gift and is purrfect with this outfit!  Ghee is a collaboration between Warm Clarity, a real world artist, and SL Top Model Beatrice Serendipity. It is no wonder that their clothes are amazing and actually something I would wear in both lives

Mr. X and Karma -Aleutia @ Boho Fair thru Nov. 4

There is something that tells me what goes around comes around... or so that is what they say... and this new exclusive @ Boho Fair by Aleutia called  Karma in boysenberry will certainly make the boys come around... Mr. X can attest to that!  Karma comes in a rainbow of colors....

I really like the mandala pattern on this boho top. I paired it the fabulous distressed  jeans  also  by Aleutia  called  Zeta.  This look is boho chic and mesmerizing... an inherent quality of me and the mandala on this shirt... giggles... Mr. X rolls his  eyes at that.

There are many meanings to  what a mandala is... one is that it is a  Hindu or Buddhist graphic symbol of the universe; the other is that it is a symbolic pattern  usually in the form of a  circle divided into four separate sections ..... bearing an image... perhaps Mr. X of us!

Mr. X @ the Freak Show - Jumo!

There is something inherently fun about styling for the "Freak Show"  put together by the famous modeling Agency Scala.  This is certainly a festive event for this spooky time of year!  I love the new creation by Jumo created exclusively for this event called Maeve.  I love the rich interplay of the black and white patterns in this dress making it an instant freakshow classic in my opinion!

Maeve is composed of a black and white stripe bubble dress that is mesh with additional black lace and black and white silk polka dot flexi prim layers that float around you as you glide through SL.  This dress turns up the romance as these venetian lace peplums cascades over the cute striped bubble dress with its oh la la plunging neckline! I love that the bodice of this outfit is done in a rich floral taffeta print with sexy lace edging at the waistline...these small details make this dress a must have.

A highlight of the outfit is the skull head and wand beautifully crafted from an old animal skull... I think a cow head or perhaps a wolf.... it is magical .... as there is nothing shy about this wizard's accessory!   I am ready to cast my spell on you Mr. X... are you ready?

Mr. X and Lilith @ Swank

Out of the corner of  your eye... you notice him... smoke and mirrors and midnight... sighs... I sit, alone by the slow burning embers of a fire and wait for Mr. X.... dreaming of the last time we embraced...  I miss him... so--- on this very cold October night .... I remember the night he told me he only had eyes for me... as everyone else did in the room... he said with my arrival I would capture hearts... really, I was only interested in his heart and I still am... even after so many ... almost 4 years!

Wandering around  Swank... wearing a new outfit by Prism called Lilith --- I feel elegantly  gothic... and oh so sexy.  Lilith has a gorgeous lace tunic top, lace skin tight pants that lace up the legs and a sexy corset top... I wander into a fabulous group of furniture by Dreamland Designs called Morticia Wing Couch Set  -- it comes with 116 animations and texture change on rug and couch. A table & fireplace  and candles also available... it is spook delicious!

I love all the details especially the candles with the black beaded  crystals and the curtains... not to mention the friendly skull... it all sets a sombre mood... so much fun for this time of year!

And for those that like to landscape there is even a cemetery building kit at Swank by JS Designs with fabulous grave markers and much more....

Mr. X its Teatime - Aphrodite @ Heart Homes and Luxe Paris

There is nothing cozier than a cuppa hot steaming tea on a cool fall day when the leaves drift slowly on the autumn breeze.  Aphrodite @ Heart Homes has made the perfect autumn tea set that sets the mood.

The autumn tea set is beautifully hand carved in a rich maple wood finish that just screams fall.  I love the leaf shape of the chairs and table and the graceful curves of the legs... making this set rustically elegant.

This set comes with trees, two chairs, a candle and festive placemat plus tons of animations for male, female and even child avatars.  Each  has 6 animations to choose from.  Everything is copy so it is not a problem to add additional items to your scene.  As with all of Aphrodite @ Heart Homes items this one comes loaded with interactive ao's you can have soup, three types of drinks including tea -- and you can even pray!

I am wearing a new release by Luxe Paris called Chic Devil crop top and pants.  I love the elegant detailing on the crop top with its lace-up embellishment at the decorative waistline that really shows off my curves. There is nothing more classic than black silk and gold.

I decided to dress down Chic Devil crop top and pants by pairing with the high lace boots also by Luxe Paris from the Saturday Hoodie Top, Shorts and Booties outfit.  It just goes to show you how versatile this outfit is...

Mr. X and the Good Witch - Luxe Paris & Moondance Boutique @ Swank

Is there a good witch... can you hear the clock... time runs on and on...beautifully dressed in a mini dress with  spider webs -- they glimmer and glow... they are magic and so is she in the new exclusive  dress and hat by Luxe Paris @ Swank..... and the necklace, earrings and bracelets by Moondance  Boutique  glimmer and glow...

I told Mr. X  -- I am an eccentric  witch... and a good one at that... the late autumn wind... can you hear it  -- it howls and whines... it beckons and begs.....I prance in the grass and dance in homage to the moon....

Mr. X... come and  join me... let us  blaze like a forest fire...  and dance like the svelte movements of the red tail fox... as it  bounds -- free under the full harvest moon......

Mr. X and Tabitha - Steampunk by Wicca's Wardrobe!

London, 1898. Can't  you hear the rattle of carriages and the jingle of harnesses, the muted voices of passers-by, the hustle and bustle --- can you hear it....  in the air, the shadow of a giant steampunk airship. As the Victorian Era draws to a close and the twentieth century approaches, Mr. X told me that it is a time of great change and an age of stagnation, a period of chaste order and ignoble chaos. It is an era in need of champions...and explorers...and I feel just like that wearing the new outfit by Wicca's Wardrobe called Tabitha.

Tabitha Set Rare comes for many versions of Slink & Belleza and Maitreya (worn) mesh bodies. The Gatcha Rare version comes with a sexy metal and leather studded corset that comes with a leather (red, gold and black) and metal  color changing hud plus two eyepieces and hat -- they also have a color changing hud. Matching boots and arm bracelets are sold separately.  This is the version to get!

Unfortunately, my talents lie not in the ballroom but in the chemistry lab, where things have a regrettable habit of blowing  up! I have always loved the hissing and clicking of fantastic machines with their precision cut gears & spurred mantis armatures,  I have even developed a taste for brass and copper.

The Tabitha Common Set comes in green, toffee or  purple with a hat and eyepieces. Boots and arm bracelets are sold separately. The lower arm bracelets are modded with retrofitted numbered keys and metal plates. The eyepiece has extra lenses and brass fittings perfect for time travel and to keep sparks out of your eyes.

Mr. X - Trapped - Somerset, 3rd Eye and Zex @ Swank

I must cage my Sprite -- he gets into all manner of trouble like Mr. X... he is so mischievous! This mystical spirit claims he was once a great sage, a wise man that advised Nostradamus!  In my grand apothecary I created a cage for him...made of iron and gilded with gold.  Only the finest for my Sprite... he is so devilish he actually gave me horns and a light of  gold so all would know a she devil has arrived...this sprite is truly a demon!

Around my neck I am wearing a gorgeous leather choker with a large blood red ruby from the mines of Myanmar made by Zex called the Morgana Mesh Choker in blood. This matches perfectly with the new "Trapped" gown by Somerset.

In this gown, with its intriguing spider webs you will be entangled and enchanting all at the same time! So Mr. X, let's weave a web of a daring escape from this pest of a sprite...and dance with abandon under the full harvest moon....

Mr. X and Perpetual - Sascha's Designs @ Swank

I told Mr. X it is almost the witching hour... and time to trade tangibles and intangibles... rubies perhaps or emeralds... let us talk of days gone by as we are in exile and have lost interest in tomorrow only to live the past splendor......

And what a dark and dreary mood... this exiled Queen dressed in a flowing black gown called Perpetual that is an exclusive by Sascha at Swank. The gown flows on the midnight wind and is perfect for the season with its high neckline and low sexy back. This gown is cleverly made of 50% mesh in all sizes and combined with flexi prims giving it a flowing quality. It comes with a mermaid skirt and a swishy skirt as well so it is like having two gowns in one!

Best of all, Perpetual comes with daring perpetual black eye-makeup and a stunning mask and spike collar that is perfect for this spooktacular season!

Mr X and Audrey - Jumo @ Swank and October 4 Seasons

I told Mr. X that this time of year there are all manner of ghostly sightings. Those beings haunted by "darker memories" that are part of a rarely spoken about history... shivers !  In order to  brighten up the season... I decided to wear the new exclusive at Swank by Jumo called Audrey.

You will surely steal the spotlight in this gown by Jumo!  Audrey is a gorgeous (and Mr. X adds, sexy) ball gown with a stunning plunging neckline both in front and in back. The skirt that flairs out.  Audrey is made for classic and mesh bodies and is lavishly simple in its appeal.

What isn't simple is the gorgeous pearl and gold drop earrings and the beautifully wrought gold and pearl bracelet that swirls sensuously up your arm.  Mr. X likes that!  Audrey also has matching shoes that are sold separately and are made for slink high feet.  Mr. X  let's go -- my courage does not falter ... does yours........ NEVER, he says.... this is what I adore and love about Mr. X -- fearless... and........

Mr. X and Cobwebs - Ghee....

When it comes to spinning and weaving...

The green (Absinthe)  version of the Cobweb gown is a  100% donation item for Team Diabetes in SL.

The slinky satin Cobweb gown with its plunging neckline is embellished with a cobweb pattern that flatters the figure... and will cause heads to "spin" !   It is perfect for a sexy Halloween date and comes in 5 seasonal shades.
