How about some freebies!? Today, you’ll see me wearing two of our own Fab Free Group Gifts. The sexy red little number is by Uncharted and the blue eyes are by Liquid. This little red dress is sexy and to some may be revealing, but for me it shows some, while leaving lots to the imagination. This dress is a lot of fun, just need to watch how and where you sit! This dress would be great for a night on the town or maybe you just want to turn the head of, your special someone, while having a nice relaxing time in. The dress is worth it, I have worn it for a couple days now and absolutely love it.

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
And today is all about making our own little winter wonderland! I think Lewis Carrol would approve, don’t you?!
“Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Putting this outfit together was a bit of a puzzle, but it was well worth it! It’s a bit here, a bit there, but it all came together and look! There is Astrid! I started with the major work on the Marketplace Hunt. It’s become popular and is doing a Winter 2015 version this time! If you click the link for the hunt HERE you get a list of stores. You are looking for a silver and gold treasure box on their Marketplace listing.
I needed an outfit for my winter wonderland look, so first up was irrISIStible to the rescue with this amazing coat dress! It includes a hat as well, but I didn’t want to mess up my hair 😉 This highly detailed coat dress comes in all the standard mesh sizes and is a great fit for your wonderland adventures and is just whimsical enough for fantasy roleplay as well!
This lovely skin you see Astrid wearing is the FREEDecember Group gift from LoveMe Skins called Kylie. The group is FREEto join as well! It included six skin tones (Astrid is wearing Sunkiss), cleavage layers, optional skins with brows or no brows, and Omega Mesh Head Appliers for each skin tone. You can pick up body and Slink hand and feet appliers in the store if you wish!
“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
The devil is in the details I say! And we must sharpen our weapon of imagination! So I added some great details to round out this fantastical look.
I added a touch of pink lipstick that I found on the marketplace that is a December Promo from LIVIA called Radian Gloss Set1. This lipstick set is currently only 5L and includes system lipsticks plus appliers for Loud Mouth, Omega and Sweetlips, all in 6 lovely shades ranging from the pink Astrid has on, to a rich cocoa color.
Astrid’s sweet baby blue eyes are from * Inkheart* and are called Introvert Eyes – Celestial… another Marketplace Hunt gift item. If you do the hunting and find them, these mesh lovelies will only set you back 2L!
Last, but certainly not least, the Peace on Earth Hunt is still on and I’m still finding wonderful little prizes to fill my wardrobe with. If you look close in my second picture, the lovely little Peace Dove earrings that adorn Astrid’s ears are the POE8 hunt prize FREEfrom Deluxe Body Factory. Just stop by the main store and hunt for the blue globe and those are yours to wear home!

I first fell in love with everything “Gothic” when I was eight years old. My babysitter was a teenage girl of about fifteen and my parents had gone out for “kid free” time, and she was doing her homework and reading Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven” to me. After that I was hooked.
And then she let me read over her shoulder, and I read, “For Annie” for the very first time as well. Perhaps “For Annie” is not about Vampires at all… but I thought it was! And even at the tender age of eight, I wanted to be a vampire!
“Thank Heaven! the crisis —
The danger is past,
And the lingering illness
Is over at last —
And the fever called “Living”
Is conquered at last.”
[from “For Annie” by Edgar Allen Poe]
I think that is why the ensemble that I put together this week really appeals to me! [MC] Mystic Canvass is — first, and foremost — a fabulous one-stop-shop if you are looking for quality Roleplay skins that won’t break your pocketbook. Many of them are priced at only 99L$ for a full pack, and that includes a bonus shape as well as Lolas and/or other great appliers. The store also has a terrific variety of affordable cosmetics and mesh accessories that are out-of-this-world unique. And with this gorgeous Skin as their current FREEGroup Gift(Group is 0L to Join!) coming in 4 skin tones with Lolas, Phat Azz, and Slink Appliers? How can a classic Gothic Vampire girl like me go wrong?!
Of course, I did not want to be a glittery vampire! No! No Twilight sparklers here! Growing up, I wanted to know Dracula and Dark Shadows and vampires like Louis de Pointe du Lac. I wanted pale skin, red lips, crimson eyes, blood that ran cold, and a heart that was colder! Because somehow… I thought it was like being a thorned rose — the ultimate thing of danger… power… and beauty. And yes… even as a tender young girl of only eight years old, I knew it.
“My tantalized spirit
Here blandly reposes,
Forgetting, or never
Regretting its roses —
Its old agitations
Of myrtles and roses:”
[from “For Annie” by Edgar Allen Poe]
So I pulled up Market place for a little help in completing my classic Vampire look — one I was sure would make Bram Stoker himself proud!
I didn’t manage to find a proper Edgar Allen Poe raven that suited me, but this amazing fitmesh dress by +Nocturna+ features a detailed owl print that is a stand-out and the dress pack includes both fitmesh as well as standard mesh sizes and can be found on the Marketplace for only 10L. A little more searching and I was able to complete my Gothic beauty with a set of Mage Red eyes by Imperium which were also found on the Marketplace (a steal of a deal for eyes this sharply detailed at only 9L$!) and last but not least I topped it off with an intricately wrought necklace in black by ~Edenia — another great FREEfind on the Marketplace!
