Recently I was invited to an awesome trip and party with a group of really great gal pals for a holiday party and I had a blast! As we go through our daily lives the holidays creep ever closer before it gets ready to pounce and there are many things that come to mind when you think of the winter holidays such as food, friends, family, wine, resolutions, gifts, parties, and all the fabulous new clothes that come with a new season! If you’re of the more childish inclined you will probably end up dressed as santa’s helper just to get a chuckle or two- those pointed shoes only come in style once a year after all so why not take full advantage of them?!

But I’m not here to talk about my fetish for Christmas apparel but more to talk about this wonderful little number from Modern Gypsy that brought to mind the holiday spirit but with a touch of glamor and chicness that I just couldn’t pass up on. The texture of the dress is a ruffled chiffon that surprisingly does not make you look shapeless but hugs your body so lovingly with the help of the cinched thick waistline integrated in the dress. The gold brings to mind the starry night sky and festive colors of the new years parties or fully decorated Christmas trees that shine as bright as the sun. I decided to go all out with the gold and got a pair of Gold pumps from Armidi and a wonderfully crafted large garnet necklace that might as well have been designed just for that dress. Definitely a look that one should have in their closets to get ready for all those holiday shindigs. Do you think you can honestly resist such a luscious design?!

Now I have to wonder who doesn’t want to be a Rockstar in this day and age? I would think that even the most hardcore bookworm has fantasies of standing in front of an adoring crowd as millions scream his/her name with piercing shrieks of wanting and unrequited love. I know that I’ve had these feelings and dreams a time or two myself- even going so far as to manifest itself physically when I’m standing on top of my bed holding a hairbrush as my loose curls whip across my face while I attempt to give myself whiplash and lip singing to the latest jams. [Frowns at the reader] Hey I’m sure you’ve done something similar as well so stop that snickering over there! But unfortunately unlike the real rockstars I was left stranded on the street without a ride after my buddies forgot me and headed back home. How they didn’t know I wasn’t in the car is anyone’s guess but there it is folks. You can be sure that even though I was without a car and only had 1L to my name I was rocking that roadside curb as I tried to hitch a ride back south.

As a model I get a bit of that fame and glory even if sometimes I don’t even realize it or can’t fully appreciate it with all the work I have to do constantly that overrides that feeling of joy and exalt at times. It’s been getting a bit chilly lately as the winter season crawls upon us and turns our blood to ice but I wasn’t feeling a thing with my new faux fur coat from Aoharu. It is definitely bound to keep you warm and stylish in even those most frigid of temperatures. Unfortunately for me I had decided to go with a stylish and daring short over the eye sweep cut from MADesigns and my neck was feeling a bit of the wind’s bite. I was never one for the whole flashy and ostentatious look so I decided to go with the Glam Goddess Rocker rather than the all out wild child rocker. It’s a look anyone can pull off- staying casual yet stylish and up-t0-date in this nice cool piece. Who says you have to be all flash and glitter to rock it out?

Well yesterday you heard of my harrowing tale with those women that could model for women on steroids but today I wanted to talk about another journey I had while visiting zombieland. Well it’s not really zombieland as one would know it but it certainly was an interesting vacation that’s for sure. As you can see by my pictures, it’s taking me a while to heal from the wounds and so have been out of commission on any modeling jobs or fashion shows. [sniffles sadly as she thinks about her dwindling career before squealing as one of her eyeballs pop out and hang down her face. She starts emitting tiny squeaks and chants of "ew", "gross", and "oh my god!" as she valiantly tries to stuff it back in the socket without getting too much eyeball juice on her fingers.]

Okay…well…it seems that you are all lucky enough to see me in a new light! But as I was saying I had gotten an invitation to check out Bailers Outfitters and their new Halloween attraction. They promised that it would be scary beyond belief and to bring a few of my friends in case I passed out from the shock. Needless to say I’m one that likes to live dangerously and decided to brave the untested waters and haunted lands by my lonesome and I’m glad to say that I’m still standing. It seems when you first teleport in you end up at the mainstore and will have to walk down the stairs to the UFO sighting to get to the truly spooky part of the attraction. Beware of that staircase! That fall could be a killer! Fortunately I had duct tape and reinforced staples holding me together so I didn’t have to worry overmuch. [Grins]

There were a few people shrieking and crying as the zombies chased them around the graveyard. It seems looking like Freddy Krugar’s construction paper project can open a lot of doors for you and keep your butt alive in some pretty sticky situations! It seemed like my look became my automatic pass and I was taking full advantage of it, sitting down at the local Bait & Burgers shop as I watched the ghosts and ghoulies scare the residents. I have to say that despite the disgusting and misleading name they had some awesome rare meat which is something I normally stay away from considering the calories but as I said- I like to live dangerously!

Now even looking like death personified I had to dress up for the occassion and what better way than to go through my gothic dresses and outfits. This is one of those times of the year that you get to go all out and pretty is just overrated and disdained. It’s time for the ugly ducklings to take back their crown for one week of the year and rock it out! The outfit I decided to don tonight was a cute little sassy number by She Wants Revenge. I will note that there have been a few rumors about this particular designer but as I do not have all the facts I’m not going to be one to speculate and instead just enjoy! I think the red of the dress really brought out the blood seeping from my stitched wounds don’t you? [smiles sweetly]

Be sure to join the Starwalkers and Best of SL groups for more information on upcoming attractions for the coming Halloween night. It’s a great way to get out with your friends and enjoy all the scary ghoulies!

[Gasps and grunts as she falls on the computer to begin typing, frowning at her pinky hanging by a piece of bone before picking up a nearby stapler and placing it back on. She gives her hand a flex before descending on her poor computer, pounding on the keys hard and fast.] I knew this day would come! I hoped it wouldn’t but I knew it would and silly me they caught me off guard to in the back room after one of my fashion shows. [Shakes her head in disgust] Let me start from the beginning my dear friends and readers. I was just finishing up with a Halloween fashion show when three burly, hairy fat models- yes those witches were as big as my condominium- if I had a condo that is! [Harumphs in satisfaction at the dig and continues] Let me also add they had huge hips that it was a wonder they could make it through the door of the auditorium!

Now as I was saying. These….*bleepin bleeps* (I’m sure kid avi’s probably read this ya know…) dragged me behind the bushes after everyone had left the stadium and proceeded to hold me down- I think one of them actually sat on me with her buick hips but I was having the air crushed from my delicate lungs so I really couldn’t say for sure- and they began to argue on what to do about me. I gleaned a few tidbits as I was huffing and puffing for precious gasps of air. These Bitc…..*bleeps* were jealous! I know what you’re thinking! It’s crazy! [glares at the reader] You do NOT have to agree so readily ya know! But they were jealous of little old humble and sweet me! Now I know I’m a fine specimen and many may be envious of me in some ways but that does not mean that it calls for what they did to me. I won’t go into the gory details so much but I will say that it involved a box cutter, salad fork, two AA batteries, a wedge lime, and a small skinny and long legged rat…On second thought it may have been a chihuahua- I’m beginning to think one of these *bleepity bleeps* was Paris Hilton but don’t quote me on that. As I was said earlier I was running on precious little air supply.

So after they finished their nefarious actions and the skinny rat thing finished humping my foot they left me for dead, never even suspecting that I would survive but look at me now you *bleepers*! I was lucky they had a roller cart nearby- those big rolling carts that you can find at Home depot when you’re been so greedy on your shopping spree that not even a normal shopping cart can hold your crap. After gather my bits and pieces on it I began to roll and push myself to the nearest hospital- 10 miles away!! The doctors looked at me like I was a freak- actually what they really did was laugh when I said I needed to be stitched up again because they thought I was playing some Halloween joke but after beating him and the nurse over the head with with my bloody stump of a leg they finally took me seriously and dragged me to the ER. I have no idea how someone in a few pieces could be playing a joke!

Now after I skipped out on my hospital bill- who would’ve thought 10 yards of string and a needle could cost so much- I had to run to a shop to get some clothes and was lucky enough to get out with this little number! Yes I stole it! (Not really. I couldn’t hobble fast enough and so got caught by the security guard and had to pay him with my last few bills that was stuck in my hair) And now here I am, telling you about my gruesome little story and I pray that those heffers don’t meet up with me one day. Watch out Paris! But it just goes to show you even that couldn’t stop me from rocking this outfit, a cute little number called Charm from the Wishbox along with my gorgeous updo from red Queen.

Happy Halloween!
