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... Mr. X told me that spiders always take the fly!  With that in mind and thinking of Halloween... one of my favorite holidays I just couldn't wait to wear the new gown by Ghee --Cobweb Gown! 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. This is an exclusive at the Scare Me Silly event that is in support of Team Diabetes of Second Life.  This event offers halloween shopping for men and women plus a hunt, freebies and musical events.

Mr. X & the Victorian Vixen -- B Barbie Style @ Swank

Lady Like? But of course... with a dash of Victorian gothic charm...Mr. X tells me I look  like a perfect vixen in this fabulous new gothic jacket, waistcoat and skirt called Mina by B Barbie Style or BBS that is an exclusive at Swank. There is also matching hair by BBS called Elvi.


 I love the rich black velvet brocade of this stunning skirt and waistcoat it is so soft and supple. The jacket is made of black crushed velvet and embellished with red roses. The waistcoat is minimalist in style and looks perfect with this skirt. What wickedly magical images this outfit conjures....



I love the addition of the  winter white Victorian inspired high collared blouse that is part of this ensemble. Collars have a long history of making a fashion statement that goes back to the time of  the Elizabethan era. Collars can frame the face beautifully as this one does...it makes a statement as a fashion accessory!


I must mention, that this outfit also comes with hair!  What a treat !  It is long and gorgeous and  puts the finishing touch on this outfit! Yay!  So Mr. X... shall we have tea at the Vatican Library this afternoon and admire the Illuminated manuscripts there... in a wicked way, I feel I am dressed for it!

Mr. X and Ain't Misbehavin' by !!SMD!! / TWA

I asked Mr. X how could  I resist wearing this  fab vintage dress called Ain't Misbehavin' by  !!SMD!!/TWA!  It has everything a flapper could ask for... beads, feathers... glitz and glam!



When wearing this think 1920s and 1930s -- think Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom that were playgrounds of the high "society"!  And, then of course there were the Lenox Ave dives... oh my Mr. X ... oh no we will never go there!


I do like the piano and that new beat called "swing" Mr. X and Lenox  Ave. is well not so very rowdy, raunchy and... fun... is it?   So if you are in a Jazz Retro Mood... check out this new dress by !!SMD!!  it really isn't Ain't Misbehavin'!  So Let's Step out Mr. X

Wickedly Fun- Resun and Heart Homes and Mr. X

Mr. X thinks I like Halloween so much because I have such a sweet tooth...  he could be right!  I do love all that trick or treat candy and the chance to have some fun with styling.  Speaking of styling, cast your spell in Resun's new Halloween creation Medea.
Resistance is futile when wearing Medea - a flowing satin dress artfully trimmed with orange velvet adding a touch of mystery and allure.  It is my understanding that it is "goddess" tested so you are good to go with this one.
Mr. X  loves the fishnet stockings with the orange velvet trim... he thinks they are sexy especially when combined with Resun's swank (non slink) Tequila ankle boots.
The background for this is the exclusive set by Aphrodite at Heart Homes called Macabre Story Bedroom set... replete with someone (maybe your X but not my Mr. X !) under the bed!  The bedroom comes animated with deadly fun poses that are wickedly special.
The vanity also comes with 2 poses and items to play with.  This set is 35% off at the Cosmo Birthday event and perfect for the season...

Mr. X and Veinessa by Merivale @ Swank

It is near all hallows eve....there is a slight frost in the air and all manner of ghosts and goblins roam through the mist.  I hold Mr. X's hand as we make our way to the house.  All of a sudden we encounter the guardian of the house a macabre spector...he tells us we need a password to enter... I thought and then said.... Swank!  There are so many cool outfits to buy there like what I am wearing in this blog.


This is the new outfit by Merivale called Veinessa. I love the lace satin covered bodice replete with a sensual fringe hemline!  Plus there is jacket and gloves made of netting, not to mention the sexy boots and stockings... WOW... Veinessa smolders!  It is no wonder why this is an exclusive at Swank!


This outfit is I created from two main types of garments: *Rigged Mesh clothing -from templates with Merivale's  own  fabulous textures and then *Clothing Layers -with appliers for mesh bodies
And a combination of both.  It is just an amazing outfit to wear.  Oh... and did I mention it also comes with a silver bat mask... that makes it oh so scintillatingly spooktacular!

Mr. X - Krystin & Leslie - Ghostyss and Heartsdale Jewelry @ Swank plus the Hunt!

I asked Mr. X to come to Swank with me and to explore the Haunted House that is set up there. Along the way, naturally, I had to pick up a couple of exclusives at Swank to wear  by Ghostyss.

 I love the side cutouts of this dress and the the way it has a sweet empire waistline with the words..."Rebel Soul" written in glittering diamonds...after all, diamonds are a girl's best friend!!  I like the detail of the cross in the center of the waistline belt -- little details count and this one gives the dress the right amount of sexy goth drama... ok those side cutouts are sexy too!


Krystin is available for mesh bodies including Slink, Belleza, Maitreya and, you can also wear it with  classic bodies.  The flaring hemline will surely make hearts flutter and turn up the heat!


Another find by Ghostyss is called Leslie.  This gown has a sweetheart corset bustline with  deep slits up each leg making it darkly evocative and definitely alluring. Leslie is made from a sophisticated brocade fabric covered by Victorian Lace that gives sunny days a splash of darkness!  You can wear Leslie with  Belleza, Slink, TMP and classic avatar bodies.


The corset top elongates your figure and gives you a mysteriously sexy look...Mr. X likes that. It is a perfect start to an eerie evening of dark romance and exploration of the Haunted House ... oh la la..and remember there is also a hunt going on this month @ Swank.


I have paired Leslie by Ghostyss with a gothic styled necklace of red blood beads on a black chain along with dripping ruby earrings and a nose ring by Heartsdale Jewellery appropriately called "Dark Passions".  It is minimal in size and makes a fabulous impact. Matching Dark Passion Bracelets are sold separately.


There are over 100 designers featured @ Swank and products range from clothes and accessories to home decor.  There is even a special halloween spooktacular hunt going on not to be missed!  While you are at Swank, don't miss the "Haunted Mansion"  It is great fun... and combines a ride to a spooky old house that is well worth the time to explore!

Mr. X and Navia by [ZEX} @ Swank

Go along, go, go, go... no wait, Mr. X please follow me up the stairs...  it is a cold October night and I  need your warm arms around me as I  glitter in a new coal black gown spun with mica and silver... by [ZEX} called Navia that is an exclusive at Swank...

Mr. X is almost enchanted...  and why not there is magic in the air...we dance in the wane rays of the moon... spirits seem to roam free -- in the distance we see pixie's and sprites... elfs dash in and out...

Mr. X wraps his arms around me  and slowly runs his hands up this marvelous slit  up my right thigh... the moon indeed must be full!  Navia by Zex is availble for Maitreya, Belleza, Slink and for classic avatars as well in fit mesh. It is easy to wear whatever body you have.


The castle is upstairs....it is the witching hour... as I always see you then --- and it is always midnight for  you...and  you burn the candles low... it is a time when black cats are seen... when the moon laughs and I whisper... Mr. X ... I love you... I think we are the longest love story in SL
