Deviant to the end

So I'm not dying, yet.

You still have to deal with me.

I'm still going to bug you, from time to time.

I've been in a mod of dark dark skins lately. House of Ruin had these out for gifts in my annual Halloween hunt. I'm sure you'll be able to buy them at some point. This colour was just dreamy.

I totally missed all the halloween awesomeness this year, due to my sickness. So I said fuck it, I'm not going to get into xmas, I'm doing halloween all the way into the new year. That should make up for missing a few weeks eh? So here is my wonderful wormy goodie from Sanu.

Deviance is the best place to get your year round costume needs. Here I'm wearing the newest creation to the line, this wonderful Witchy outfit. Surreal sent this over to me, and I'm normally online to say thanks, but I suck and was sick, so I figured I'd blog it to make up for not gushing all over her feet. Oh and the darling knows I love green and sends me green all the time. Got to love that! I just happened to have the perfect green shade in my new colour collection to match, so I threw on Manes of Glory to spike my look out.


The best part about Deviance is the quality. It is awesome zoomed right in, and you get so many options. Baiscally every layer possible in every piece. Also Surreal happens to be almost the same size as me, so I really don't have to resize much, it's bliss.


I'd hardly be me nowadays without my House of Ruin eyes. These were also in said hunt. I had to wear them cause they had Witch in the title. No other reason, hehe.


Now I wouldn't be Helena if I dind't have something on for free. These boots were a group gift from Maitreya.

This next outfit I wore to Ruina's Store anniversary party. I was going to go as a scarey pink poof dust bunnah type thing, but then I was like oooo Bloodrayne. She is the hottest Game Character ever. MMMMMM.

I took these shots at Groll's Inn. There is alot of different areas to play in, and most everything you come apon is buyale, but luckily isn't plastered with signage.

A few of my Favorite Things

So, I've been working my butt off trying to finish up a new release, and it's coming along nicely. But sometimes I just have to take a break. And a new release from one of my favorite designers came along and gave me the excuse I needed. :D

My boots, let me show you them!



These gorgeous things are by Erpla Prieto, the creator behind Periquita Shoes. I've loved her shoes forever, but there is a special place in my heart for BOOTS and these are the first full boots she made. I love them! They come with a nifty HUD that lets you change allll sorts of textures - the trim, the sole, the main shoe ... there's even these really adorable little bows on the toes that you can have show in a bunch of different colors ... or not! I picked colors to match the dress, but there's a whole bunch others, all pretty. But don't take my word for it - take this TAXI and go check out her demos for yourself.

I'm ALSO wearing the awesomest socks ever, "Stripey Socks" by Paisley Mizin of Sock Shop. You see, I LOVE socks, both real life and SL. So when I found Paisley's shop I kinda freaked out and bought most of them. And there's a LOT of them. They're all funky and colorful and full of win, so go check em out! At 30L a pop, I think you can afford some new socks!

Moving up ...



This dress kicks ass and takes names, and miss Stringer made it. AND it's FREE - it's the Stringer Mausoleum's Macabre Hunt gift! Hurry and go pick it up, though - the hunt ends on the 6th of October!

I'm also wearing one of the fabulous skins by one of my good friends, Evangeline Schism of SchismPhrenic.



She makes some of the best Eloh Elliot and Sezmra mods on the grid, in my opinion. You know, it's actually kind of hard to find well done skins, mods or not, that aren't just "normal" (and, frankly, kind of bland in the makeup department). Although this one I've got on, "The Devil Wears Python", is one of her more tame ones, she's got plenty more at her store that are a bit more funky :)

I'm also wearing one of my own Plasmid eyes "Honey" - it's still available at my shop FOR FREE with a couple other Plasmid eyes (there's a whole other pack of them in my SL group too). I'm pretty happy with them ... enough so that I may even make a whole line from them, so keep your eyes peeled for that sometime down the line. :)

And last, but never ever least - my favoritest hair of all time -



"Ruina v.1" ... yes, you read that right - it's named after me, so neener neener ;P. It's actually the hair style of a character of mine, and I found that I couldn't find anything like it on the grid. So I had a pow-wow with Helena and she used her magic and whipped up this beauty. It was love at first sight for me - chances are good if you run into me, I'll be wearing it. You know you want it too - go pick it up here :)

(All poses by Long Awkward Pose, backgound texture by Distressed Textures ... a few more of my favorite things ;D)

We Interrupt Your Regular Scheduled Programming ...

... for PANTS.



Yes, that's right, I've risen from the grave to talk to you about pants.



And not just any pants. These are the best damn jeans in SL.



Why are they the best? Because they are richly colored, funky, in your face, and effing sexy.

Stringer made them, naturally. ;)

Helena Stringer in Weird Science

You've more then likely come across some of his work over your lifetime, but if now, visit here.

Weird Science-1985

Ivalde/L'Abel part 2

Part 1 is here:

http://slfreestyle.blogspot.com/2009/06/for-love-of-all-things-ivladeand-label.html

It tells you the tale of my first metting Nef, and what she has done for me over the last year.

Story 2

Ivalde-Where it all began

This is my oldest Ivalde outfit, and my very First I had ever bought. It wasn't much, I remember, I think it was something like L$10. I rezzed inworld Jan. 25th, 2007. I didn't find Ivalde until December of 2007. That was like a whole year! I was a noob looking avi for most of that year too. I had just opened my little 35 prim shop, in Nov. of 2007. Just weeks before finding Nef's store. Cherelle(my RL sis), had told me about Ivalde, and then we found out about the Advent. Couldn't be a better way to get me out of noobdom.

There was many store ads I did with the advent dresses. I didn't have a pro account, so my I basically had some of the L$300 my sis had given me. I had to stretch that shit, so Ivalde was a godsend.

Bonnie is of course the thing I bought up. It had Skulls! What could a girl like me do? It even came with Prims for the legs of the jeans, so ahead of the times. This was back before sculpties took over the sl world.



These next few dresses are the newest in my collection. I had to show one of L'Abel's opening gifts, this dress below. I freaked when I saw it. So one of my RL favvy colours I wear!

L'Abel-L'Abel-opening-gift-Mattina



The story behind the next dress is funny. Nef knew my sis before me, and they sometimes have chats about this and that, normally a love of design, mainly my sister's furniture designs, which tend to be done in a period Nef enjoys. Nef knew my sis was bummed that as a Furniture Designer in SL she doesn't get as much perks as I might. I'd get this or that from one designer or another, and all she'd get would be people wanting her textures.

Nef had always been good, to send Cherelle this new dress or that one. Cher has the type of avi that works so well with Nef's works.

So Nef sends me these dresses. Tells me to throw them on. And parade around in front of Cher. So Cher starts whining. Nef proceeds to send Cher the dresses, stating that we were just playing with her, Hehe, Nef does have a devious side from time to time, you can tell from her lip ring collection.

This dress comes with a Belt that colourchanges a wack of different ways.

L'Abel-Mya-Berry



One day Beulah, one of Nef's top models, Im's me, saying Nef was going to send me something, wanted to make sure I was online. I was like ermmm ya I'm here. While thinking in my head, oh no, what are they up to.

I get this lovely dress. The explanation for the James Bond IM? They wanted to see what I could come up with for modeling this thing. I totally Demoned it out with tongue, horns and everything!

L'Abel-Acedia Black



Since this is just about Ivalde/L'Abel, all you need is the link to get there. Enjoy starting a new adventure!

A picture paints...

...a thousand words but hides many others.

Who do you see standing before you? A young, gorgeous pale skined beauty, innocent and sweet, just out for a day of fun in the sun. Sorry but this sexy little vixen is far from it I'm afraid.

Please don't be fooled by these pics...Yes! she is pretty as she runs her fingers through her beautiful long blonde hair, soaking up the rays of sun with the warm soft sand beneath her toes. But what you can't see is the .40 caliber pistol with silencer that she holds in the palm of her hand that she just pulled from her beach bag.

Pretty face, cold stare and an emotionless heart, perfect for a Stringer Assasin.
This little beach babe has been given orders to assasinate... Sorry but I can not disclose the name of the target but I can tell you that it is a Linden and that he is snorkling alone just off shore. Eyes locked on to her target, she walks down to the waters edge. It is advised that you please look away now!

Without even batting an eyelid, the job is done!
Linden's body is well hidden, wedged in under a rock ledge...away from the view of local surfers.

I arrived at the Death Bar with my mohawk preened to the max, sleek and shiny. Now I'm rough and ready to thrash it out to a little Sex pistols and The Clash.

Rockin out to the tunes, jumpin, flippin, crashin into people...I've worked up a thirst, time for cold beer.

As I headed over to the bar I'd thought I'd check out the venues art when suddenly a large, heavy hand grabbed me on the shoulder. I then heard "Hey, Bitch, fetch me a beer!". I...Pfft...as I pushed his huge claw from my shoulder, rolled my eyes and I laughed off his demand. Displeased with my response and failure to fetch, the big ugly bugger picked me up with one hand and tossed me across the room with absolutely no effort at all. Crashing through a solid wood table, everything suddenly went black...

I must have hit my head bloody hard because when I came to, I swear that everyone in the venue seemed to look just like me. The floor shook as he stomped across the room. He picked me up by my mohawk and threw me again. I rolled as I landed and quickly jumped to my feet. Enough was enough, this bloke needed to be taken down.
"Hey arsehole, come and get me, you ugly mother fu..." I taunted as I threw a beer bottle at his enormous head. The bottle smashed against his huge forehead and his face turned red in anger. I had one chance and one chance only, the guy was big so I have to take him out quick and fast. If he gets hold of me again, he'll rip my head clean off with his bare hands.

Enraged and very angry, he pulled a large knife from his belt and charged like a Brahma bull from the other side of the room. Steam literally bellowing from his ears. Just as he was about to knock me flying, I leaped into the air drawing a dagger from its sheath. The 4" blade seemed to glide effortlessly as it sliced straight through his throat. His red face turned pale in an instant, glassy eyed and suddenly silent. All you could hear was the trickling of his blood as it pooled on the cold hard ground. A massive thud shook the bar as his body came to rest on the floor. I swirled my finger around in the pool of blood as I ponded "That's a lot of blood, what a waste". It's sweet stench taunted my inner demon, the vampire within me was burning to come out.

With fangs now visible to the on lookers, I had to flee. I swiped a nearby bike but Damn! no keys. Shelby is lookin pretty sweet in the background. I must admit, I have a soft spot for mustangs. The sound of sirens approach from the east. Escape on foot it is then.

The Jacks were soon to arrive. With guns drawn they search the bar and surrounding buildings for the cold blooded killer. While they were busy, I slashed their tyres and trash the van to aide in my escape.

After fleeing the scene and finding comfort in the night, I stopped for a minute and lit up a cigarette. It's dark and cold, I stink of stale blood and I have a throbbing head ache. It's been a rough night. I need a six pack, a hot bath and someone to sink my teeth into...

Callie Cline Appreciation Day!

I think I missed it, but that's fine, it's never too late to tell someone thank you.

A thank you never goes stale
A thank you never gets old
A thank you never is a bad thing

So here is my Tribute of Thanks to Callie Cline. She is someone that always goes above and beyond. She knows the meaning of love. She cherishes her fellow man, knowing full well that behind that keyboard is someone, in most cases human. *Winks*

Her generosity is renowned in the SL world. She'll friend you just to stop you from talking about her. Good things about her. How odd . . .

She always tries to find something nice to say, "Oh that's an . . . interesting outfit Helena . . . ". She may even ask for a demon makeover if you lucky!

I could go on, but well all know, there are many ways to thank our Callie.

And so here is my Mer-Related Tribute Photo



We all can use a bit of Callie's creations in our wardrobe, no matter who or what we are!

History Repeats

History Repeats.

What an interesting title. This was the name of the event that was held last week at Rezzable's Kings Rezzable Sim. Winter Jefferson was our wonderful host/organizer for this event.

The theme was dressing up as your favorite Historical Character. I really couldn't decided on anything, and wasn't staying for long, so this is what I threw on.

I got this set of Dresses, called Bonbon, at PixelDolls, knowing full well that one day, I would get a chance to wear them. There is 8 colours to the set. This was my favorite colour combo, and as all good girls do, I have perfectly matching hair!

It all seemed very mardi gras after I had it all going, but I was cool with that. The hair was actually made for Rezzable, for a past fashion event. The feel of it so went with the look I was trying to achieve.

This skin is from a up and coming designer. Daarc does not have these for purchase just yet, but I look forward to what other goodies she will have for us. The lips on these make me imagine all sorts of late, LATE nights. There are also so many yummy colours for the makeups. So far there are 4 tones, catering more to the Elven and Fae.

The eyes are from House of Ruin. I think I'm going to almost be exclusively wearing House of Ruin from now on. You really can't beat the quality for the price. SOOOOO many colours. That really is a big thing for me, since I might have everyday favorites, but am changing so often for shoots, that I can't afford to stick to a set regiment regular eye colours.

The dress seemed to walk right out from a painting.

I couldn't help but feel a bit regal in this. Though the event has past, history still repeats. Thus I share!

The Courtly Attire:

Skin-Elfpyre-Not yet Released
Hair-The Stringer Mausoleum-Stained in Deep Tipped-L$225
Eyes-House of Ruin-Felid in Scarlet-L$20
Eyelashes-La Syphide-Natural prim lashes-L$0

Quickie of the Day-Blogger Lovin

Bloggers in SL are having a crazy week. it's all due to this: http://calliecline.blogspot.com/

I'm wearing one of the lovelies that happened to be dropped upon us. This crazy dress come from Prelude, and I got to see if there are more 3 toned colours, cause it's way wicked.
