Planning My Escape!

I am ready to run away from winter. However running away takes some planning. First I need a cup of coffee, and then plenty of books for research. Hey I am going old school here!

Maybe I will use a globe and a dart to pick where I go, though that could land me in the middle of some ocean...or worse somewhere colder and snowier!

Maybe I should search for something along the equator, as long as I pack plenty of sunscreen I should be safe and not sun burnt.

My Yoga Downfall

It's that time of year when your New Year's Resolutions start getting tested. It's Superbowl weekend, which mean food, food and more food!

I prefer the sweets to the pizza and beer, who can resist cookies and cakes? However before that happens on needs to squeeze in a little workout.

This year I am giving yoga a go since I need to work on my core and I was informed that it's a good way to go. If only I was this coordinated in my non digital attempts.

My plan was to just sniff the cookies before I placed them on the counter with everything else. This did not go as planned. I won't share the results of my cookie binge because it's not a pretty sight. Here's hoping that those of you who are going to or hosting Superbowl parties have a little more self control than I do!

Angelic

It's We ♥ Roleplay time again! I thought I would be angelic, though lets be honest it's not much of a stretch for me. And if you believe that then I have this home on Mars that I have for sale. I don't know why but I figured as an angel I should be blonde, maybe because it seems more ethereal? I will stop here because there is nothing more I can say other than you want be whatever you want when you go to We ♥ Roleplay!

Floating into the new year

I am slowly drifting into the new year.

The new year is full of potential and I am hoping to embrace it all, hopefully more good than bad. I won't make any resolutions, I will just try to be the person I know I am inside. That is my goal for the new year.

Luckily for me I think the person I am inside is pretty darn awesome.

White Christmas

Yesterday I happened upon the old movie White Christmas, the dresses at the end reminded me slightly of the ones I had seem for sale at Dead Dollz. Of course I popped over and grabbed it because it was one of those moments of inspiration that come along.

Now if you have ever seen the movie you will know what I am talking about, however if you have never seen it just Google it and you will understand. I admit I have a love of old movies, there is just something about them. I think I have droned on about them before.

I just had to show you everything I was wearing and the pretty back of the dress so I made a little collage. Oh and I can't forget my partner in this post...the tree!

At the Midwinter Fair you can pick up the tree from Libertine which is decoratable, then you just hit up the gacha machine for baubles and toppers and candles and the like. It fit so well with the post given the older feel of the ornaments and candles. Aside from candles and ornaments there are rugs and a secret prize to be won! So if you want a tree that can be uniquely you go for it!

Holly Berry Fairy

Have you decked your halls with boughs of holly? Why not deck your body instead? That is what I did and I look purely angelic.

Yes I know I did something other than cropping a picture, but I couldn't help myself. I do look angelic anyways, the glow just makes it more obvious. I may be listening to too much Nutcracker lately..sugarplum...holly...it's all Christmasy in the end.

How about a little kiss will that make you forget my random ramblings? Now I am probably the least Goth chick you will ever meet, but you can get this tattoo at Gothmas by Gaslight. The tattoo is tintable so you can look sweet and innocent. Then you can dance the night away in the snow...Fairies are impervious to the cold (at least in my head they are).

Little Red Robyn Hood

By now everyone knows the story of little red riding hood and that of Robin Hood, but did you know they both dwelled in the same forest? That's right Sherwood forest and the forest that red riding hood traveled in are the same. It's no wonder then that to two met. We all know that Robin Hood ended up going off and marrying Maid Marion, but did you know that before all that happened he had an affair with a grown Red Riding Hood? It's true and from this affair came a child that Robin Hood never knew.

Her name was Little Red Robyn Hood. Her mother named her Robyn after her father, but kept that little detail to herself. Robyn was as skilled with a bow and arrow as her well known father. She also donned her mother's infamous red hood.

In a way Robyn was like her father. She used her skills with a bow and arrow protect those who could not pretect themselves. She would never steal, not even from the rich. She was always keeping an eye out in the forest for trouble.

Maybe one day her mother will reveal the truth,or maybe someone will wise up and see the similarity between Robin and Robyn?

Opening Pandora's Box

I have opened Pandora's box, only instead of it being filled with all the evils of the world, these boxes are filled with memories. Each box contains it's own set of sentimental items. Maybe I did open Pandora's box with all these reminders of you.

That book you said reminded you of us, those love letters you sent and that one single red rose given before you knew my true favorite flower. All these things stirring up memories and here I am with only a blazing fire to keep me warm.

Are these my ghosts of Christmas or times past? Maybe they are reminders of the love we continue to have for one another? Maybe I am just a sentimental old fool. Who knows....

Look of the Day

I was having trouble figuring out how I wanted to photo this look so I decided to go with a simple look of the day type thing. I know it's not the most creative thing in the world, but at least you get a good view of what I am wearing. I wanted to make sure you also got to see the details on the skirt. The little metal embellishments on the pleats just tickles my fancy, maybe because it gives a sort of edge to an otherwise "harmless" skirt. Again I am wearing a mish mash of things from various events currently going on and you will find out each on in the credits.

Jacq Frost

I won't lie, I love the old school Rankin-Bass christmas movies, like Rudolph and Jack Frost, etc. Recently I watched Jack Frost and it inspired me to make a pretty female version. I didn't think it would be too difficult. The poses were a snap, they are from Sweet Sacrifice at the current round of Fit For A Princess. They were perfect for the picture I had in my head.

I admit I had a bit of a harder time finding the perfect skin to go with the idea in my head. Yes I am just that picky. I think in the end I did a pretty darn good job.
